Due Nov 24th, first US on coming Friday at 7 weeks. Had very sore boobs but now much better, no nausea at all ,had some pinkish/brownish watery stain yesterday(not sure f should get concerned), peeing a lot, lot more hungry, moody,terribly bloated and ofcourse nervous and anxious about every little pain I get in my abdomen:) Praying everyday that all goes well.

Thoughts and prayers to all Mom to be's out in the forum.

Hahaha that was a joke for my ultrasounds too.  When I was spotting they did an internal exam and the MD asked if twins run in the family.  Bad part is they do on my side and my husbands side.  My husband asked if that was a routine question (he has been telling me I am going to have twins as a joke for a few years now) or if there was a reason he asked.  The MD told him it's a routine question but my uterus felt a little more stretched than he thought it would have.  So when we went in for our first ultrasound there was only 1 gestational sac but no yolk sac or fetal pole.  I was so nervous to go back this week but there is only 1 in there!!!!  Not that I wouldn't love twins but I think for my first pregnancy I should just start with 1.  Good luck.

Wow ... I was away for just a couple of days and can hardly catch up on what I've missed!  The forum is really growing ... so cool!!!

The calcium ... I don't drink milk either, but have so much heartburn that I'm getting tons of calcium from tums!

I have my second ultrasound on Monday at 9 weeks ... can't wait!  I'm still getting bigger and continue to get the "are you sure there is only one in there?" comments, so hopefully they won't find a little stowaway in there then!  The 7 week only showed one baby, so I'm sure it's all good.  You hear stories though of one being behind the other though and it just makes you wonder...

[annalc]

Congrats on the awesome ultrasound! It's always soooo nice to see that beautiful heartbeat!

[jrobertson20]

So excited to say that I had another ultrasound today and I heard the heartbeat.  Such a wonderful sound.  It was beating away at 143 beats per min.  I am measuring 6w 5d but they are keeping the due date with my LMP which would make me 7w 2d (but I know that's off because I have 31-32 day cycles and only O'd around Feb. 18th).  So happy to see that things are growing a progressing.  

Welcome to everybody.  So exciting to have other people to share with!!!!!

[songinmind]

Welcome all- this forum is growing- yea BFPs!

Kiera- Seeing the yolk and gestational sac is good.  Remember, there can be some fudging of dates (even beyond what we thought possible sometimes!) due to later ovulation or implantation.  Sending good thoughts your way that all is ok.

Renshai- 11 weeks seems a 'little' late, but if you don't have any history of problems, it's really quite fine.  I've had two miscarriages since Aug of last year, so my MD wanted to get me in for an early u/s (6w- which I worked very hard to push back to 7!).  The nice thing about that is you do feel followed more closely.  The bad thing is that early ultrasound can't always pick up on things, so it ends up being more nerve wracking.  By 11 weeks, you know you'll see a healthy baby with a great heartbeat and you'll be very close to the 12 week mark.  Just make sure in the meantime to let your MD know if you have any bleeding with cramping or any other symptoms that don't seem right.  They should be open to seeing you sooner if you do.

Thoughts and prayers to all Nov mommies-to-be!

[Renshai]

Having to wait until April 22nd for my first prenatal visit. I don't know if I'll make it that far. I've been so worried about every little ache and pain. This is my first pregnancy and I'm SO nervous, I can't shake the feeling that something's wrong. Is it normal for a doctor to make you wait until after 11 weeks to even see you?

[KieraRox]

I just had my first u/s this morning and my EDD is November 23rd - I go back in 2 weeks for another ultrasound since all they saw today was the gestational sac and yolk sac - I thought I was 6 wks 4 days but was only measuring 5 wks 1 day so that was nerve racking!  This is my 3rd pregnancy!

[annalc]

I'm a little late in joining this forum, but I am due Nov 5th (tentatively). This will be my 4th pregnancy and 3rd child (I had an early miscarriage in January). Just a few symptoms to speak of: light nausea, extreme fatigue, moodiness, and bloating (I couldn't even hide my pregnancy if I wanted to).

Congrats to all, and good luck for a healthy 9 1/2 months!

[songinmind]

Angie- how scary to have your water break early- I'm so sorry to hear that happened.  

ttc1010-  you'll have to pass some baby dust along to me- my u/s is the day after yours!!

Renshai- I agree, I'm trying to pack on the calcium.  I don't drink milk, so I'm trying to sneak it into things and get a bit extra yogurt (and ice cream :))

Megan and Amanda- I'm on #3 too, I'm praying that this time is definitely lucky/sticky/blessed!

Sticky baby dust to all!

[Amanda_c7679]

Im due on the 27th Nov been feeling really bloated for about 2 weeks and very sore bbs! I visited the doctor today and asked to book me in for a 6/7 week scan as i have had 2 previous m/c one last july the other jan of this year! very scared but got everyone crossing their fingers that this time will be 3rd time lucky!!

[ttc1010]

I'm due sometime in the first week of November.  I don't have my first appt until March 30th though.  So I'll know more after that.  I've been really tired and having headaches every day.  I've had minor nausea...nothing too severe yet though.  Hopefully it stays that way!  Goodluck to all!

[Renshai]

Due on 11/9 although I haven't seen a doctor yet to verify that estimate. Hopefully I'll get to see one this week or early next week. 7w1d today, I've been cramping, lower back pain and some nausea though I've yet to actually throw up. I only really get nauseous when I've got either a full or empty tummy. Very important to get lots of calcium this week!

[angie719]

I am due on 11/19, I had my first OB appointment I have another on 3/30 with the high risk doctor..  Hoping that everything is good with this little one.  Had a little boy 3 years ago @ 25 weeks due to my water breaking early needless to say i am excited but scared.  I have faith that everything will be ok this time good luck to all.  

[megan1111]

I am due 11/20, I'm having an ultrasound on 3/29- will be 6wks 3 days. I've had 2 previous mc so we are praying this one is the one. My levels have been rising well. On 3/17 (DH birthday) my beta was 1280 and on 3/22 it was 8799.

Good luck to everyone. And I agree that waiting for an OB appt is way worse than the TWW.

[RBarron]

Waiting for the OB appt is almost worse than the TWW. LOL!

[HeatonWife]

Im due Nov. 25 at the moment, my next apt. will give a better pinpointed date when they can measure my baby. Everyone calls it a peanut, but I think Im gonna mix it up and call it my baby manatee....lol.
This is my 2nd baby. My first is 6 yrs old now. I was on depo for 5/6 years and got my BFP after 3 cycles. Very excited, and deff' agree that it feels like the TWW when waiting to see an ultrasound at the doctors.
Good luck everyone!

[Robin0224]

I am due 11/5. I have been extremly nauseous! I was prescribed Zofran last week and it has worked wonders! I'd recommend it to everyone. I have lost 10 lbs in the past two weeks due to getting sick, and not eating since everything makes me sick. With the Zofran it has gotten better. I have been exhausted, more so this time then with my first pregnancy. I have had 2 ultrasounds, and my intake appointment. I have my first OB appointment on Wednesday. I struggled with infertility for 5 years. I have a 6 year old daughter, had a miscarriage in 2006, then after a failed IUI in January, I got pregnant on my own without even really trying! No one is in as much shock as me :)
Does anyone have any tips for constipation? I have taken colace, but nothing has happened yet. The bottle did say it could take 12-72 hours!!!!
Good luck to everyone!!!

[songinmind]

Yea for Turkey babies!!  I've been waiting for our forum to pop up! :)

I'm estimating around Nov 21 for my due date, but I haven't had my first MD appointment yet to hear anything.  First u/s is next Friday 4/2!  I feel like I'm in my TWW again as I wait for that appointment.

I've had 2 miscarriages in the last year, so I'm really anxious about this time around.  My current symptoms are being very tired (and distractable!) and somewhat sore breasts.  Not much nausea yet.  

Looking forward to a happy, healthy 9 months with you ladies!!

[RBarron]

I am due around Nov 20th, but I haven't seen the OB yet either. I have been really bloated for two weeks now. I have IBS and my intenstines are so swollen and hard that I already look a few months pregnant. Hopefully that will go away soon, I've been trying to excercise everyday as that usually helps when my IBS flares up.  My bbs hurt last week, but it went away for the most part. I felt a little nausea yesterday, but it went away quickly. I don't really feel that fatigued yet either. I'm a little worried about the lack of symptoms, but I'm only ~5 1/2 weeks.  Good luck everyone.

[jrobertson20]

I am due around November 15th (I think didn't have our first "offical" MD appt yet).  I am so tired right now and need to take at least one nap during the day.  I also am having problems with nausea.  If I don't eat something every 2 hours (even if its a piece of toast) I get so sick to my stomach.  Also I am having a lot of food aversions.  It is really hard for me eat something when I am hungry because it all sounds so disgusting to me.  Don't really want anything to do with chicken at the present moment.  I also have been getting some bad headaches at least one per week.  Keep telling myself it's all worth it in the end!!!!  Good luck to everybody.

[tally8]

due date (cross fingers we don't miscarry again!) is around november 15 (the same day as my birthday go figure).  feeling anxious, hungry, tired, anxious, it all seems to go up and down...is it supposed to?  I don't know.  congrats to you though!
