@HappyBluebird: I've had migraines in the past too and I guess these aren't as bad. But I drink a cup of coffee in the morning and it hasn't helped. Can't drink it late in the day or it keeps me up. Maybe I should try some coke in the afternoon though.

@lady baltimore: I can't eat too much without feeling super full either! It's kind of an awful feeling. It's the worst at night after dinner because I feel like I have a days worth of food that i'm struggling to digest. Congrats on the dog and yay for hearing the heartbeat and a good US!

@Yogini bee: Haha I've also been living in leggings. I can't wait to have less bloat and more bump so I can start dressing it up a little. Good luck at your appointments!

@HappyBluebird: yay! It's kind of wild that it already looks like a baby!

And btw at your advice I got those little cans of coke for the next bad headache.

Congrats @happybluebird That's great news.

Had my 12 week scan today too and it was brilliant. All very surreal, but lovely to finally see what's in there! All looks good so far too. My EDD is now 13th December though - I thought it would end up moving as I was pretty sure I ovulated later than day 14.

@foodnerd81: Agree that it is crazy to see it looking so much like a little person already - little nose, legs etc.

@skipper2010: I've treated myself to some new leggings! Yay. Going to buy some more clothes online this weekend.

@skipper2010: Yes, it's definitely worst at night, like my slow digestion all day has caught up to me.

@HappyBluebird: He's a mutt - definitely some pit and boxer in there, and who knows what else? They said he was about two, so he's got a good mix of puppy energy and older dog mellowness.

At my NT scan (12 weeks, 4 days), the tech said I was measuring 6 days ahead. The NP said 3 days ahead based on my U/S at 9 weeks, 6 days. I don't think they move the due date unless you are measuring at least 7 days off, but I will be interested to see what my OB says when I go back at 16 weeks (that sounds so far along!).

@MamaBehr: that's exciting! We thought about getting a home doppler but haven't pulled the trigger yet!

@lovehoneybee: Sonoline B. I actually bought it used off of HelloBee! It was such a great purchase, gives me piece of mind.

@HappyBluebird: I really enjoy mine! I know not everyone likes them, because they can cause panic if you can't find the heartbeat, but I've never not been able to find it. It gives me piece of mind

@lovehoneybee: That's awesome!!! How far are you? I bet you'll be able to find a heartbeat right away.

So I called my OB/GYN's office today because I've had some spotting that was a little different than the past, and obviously they just told me to take it easy (blah, what dumb advice. I know they can't stop a miscarriage, if that is what it is, but they could offer me peace of mind!) and if I needed to, go to the ER. WHAT?! Doesn't it seem like a waste of ER resources to go to the ER, if I can wait to be seen until the office is open? Is that strange, or just me?

ps, I think I just overdid it today. I ran for 20 minutes and walked for 30 more minutes, I haven't ran since well before I found out I was pregnant (though I use to run all the time).

How's everyone feeling?
My MS is almost gone! Been really tired but I'll take that over throwing up!

@Berly: glad the MS is on the way out! I'm feeling much better when it comes to the MS but I'm also so tired. I can hardly keep my eyes open one in home from work. DH works nights so I've been enjoying the quiet and going to bed way too early!

@Foodnerd81: thanks, that makes me feel much better!

@berly @happybluebird @foodnerd81

So interesting to see your posts as I'm feeling exactly the same. 13 weeks today and this weekend I've started to feel almost human again. Nausea seems to have passed now but extremely tired.... Much more manageable

@Kali: My OB told me I have a tilted uterus (she was surprised that I wasn't told during my last pregnancy), and that she wasn't sure she could find the heartbeat with the doppler at 11wk. She said it was obvious during a visual and physical exam, and that it should be turning in the next week or two and it should be easier to find it. I have a doppler but I haven't been able to find it at home yet.

How's everyone doing?

I'm 15+1 today. Was feeling more confident about everything, even all the kids at my school had found out, and everything was great. Typically then, just to keep me on my toes, I had my first (and I hope the last) scare this weekend. I had some spotting, mainly pink but some spots of red which terrified me. The good news is that it stopped quickly, and my midwife was great and got me in for a scan today. Everything is fine and I got to see him/her again which was lovely Turns out it may have been (and sorry if tmi) from a 'strenuous bowel movement' due to some constipation! So as embarrassing as this is, I thought I'd let you laides know in case it happens to you.... Apparently it's quite common.

So... my next scan is at 20 weeks where we can find out the sex. We're going to find out. Are you?

@Yogini bee: I'm glad everything's okay!

We have a follow-up U/S to check on what may or may not be a resolved SCH on July 13th (16w4d) and I'm hoping they can tell us the sex then....I figure if the boutique places can tell at 16 weeks hopefully my fancy doctor's office U/S can! If not our anatomy scan will be on August 10th (fun coincidence, that was E's EDD!). I was okay being Team Green with E, but we're both really, really anxious to know this time. We both think it's another boy, and D wants to wear/carry around a "It's a...." balloon at work that day

ETA: 13w4d, calling second trimester now

16 + 2 or 3 today, and still so tired! I don't remember being this tired this late in the game in previous pregnancies.

Anatomy scan is in 3 weeks, but I have another transvaginal us tomorrow (every 2 weeks). MFM doctor already knows what baby is because of genetic testing, but we aren't finding out. It's hard knowing that someone else knows, but we are going to try and hold out this time!

@LulaBee: it would drive me crazy knowing other people know and I didn't. Last time I don't think they ever had anything written in my chart and no genetic testing, but the midwife asked me if we had thought about circumcision if it was a boy and I was like, ok, yeah she knows it's a boy. (Wrong).

I feel a little bad about not being team green this time, like I'm short changing this baby. But DH also needs time to deal with it if this one is another girl.

@Yogini bee: Sorry you had a little scare, but SO glad everything is ok! We're TG this time around, but it's exciting living vicariously through all you that are finding out!

@lovehoneybee: That is so cute that your DH wants to carry a balloon around work! That would be awesome if they could tell you at your 16 week ultrasound. Can't wait for you to find out!

@Foodnerd81: Don't feel bad about not being TG! Each team is special in its own way. I'm the opposite of you. We find out last time, but are TG this time around. I'm excited to experience both ways!

I did an impromptu FB announcement last night. Everyone close to me knows, so I figured hey why not. I wanted to wait until after the Anatomy Scan, but we're not finding out the gender and at that point I figured the whole world will know anyway. Has anyone else gone public yet?

@Yogini bee: Glad everything turned out okay despite your scare!

I am 16 weeks, 2 days. I have my sixteen week appointment tomorrow - first time seeing this OB since he did my HSG back in March. At my NT scan, the tech said that I was measuring 6 days ahead (babies run big in my family), so I'm interested to see if he'll want to adjust my EDD. I don't think they do that until I am measuring 7 days off.

Other than some pretty wretched headaches, I am feeling much better. I am much less exhausted, too, but I don't know whether that's due to second trimester, summer break, or a combination of the two.
