@DesertDreams88: I LIVE for the twists! They're so yummy. That is definitely going to suck. I worked out for the first time tonight. I did a 20minute legs and glute segment of a prenatal barre DVD I ordered. My heart rate got up a bit, so I took breaks here and there, but it was a good workout. My yoga studio only offeres prenatal workshops that are $99 in addition to your $99 monthly membership. They do have gentle yoga classes, so I'm going to see if they're good with modification for pregnant women. I'm also going to order this as my at home prenatal DVD if I give up my yoga membership. Toured daycares today, and got that $415 week price tag. Ouch!

Thanks for all the well wishes guys. It feels so incredibly real now! I can't wait for everyone else to start having their first appointments.

ETA: I asked the doctor about those cramps! I've had them since 4 weeks, and they range from dull, to intense. She said it's my uterus expanding and making room. But, mine have been either left of right. Not wide centered, and not in the center if that makes sense!

@Jess1483: That is awesome! So excited for you !

@Jess1483: That's really awesome and good numbers!!

@DesertDreams88: I ended up calling my OB too. I wanted to know ahead of time so I could get over being upset if their office doesn't do early ultrasounds. I was very excited to find out that they do have an ultrasound at the 8 week appointment for dating purposes so I will get to see my LO!

Oh - and I think I've been having the same pressure type sensations you're describing. Mine have been very low, sometimes on the left (most often) and sometimes on the right.

@dc yoga bee: Out of curiosity, why take the breaks when your heart rate got up? It was always my understanding that your body would be just fine to continue doing the types/amounts of exercise that you did pre-pregnancy so if you got your HR up from yoga/barre before than you should be fine.

Heck - I've been playing tennis and plan to keep playing for as long into my pregnancy as I can. I have a teammate who played until she was 7.5 months along! I am 3-0 since my BFP so maybe my tater tot is a good luck charm!

@cascademom: @Mrs.KMM: @Eko: @dc yoga bee: Thanks ladies!

I had another pregnancy symptom last night--pregnancy dreams with an orgasm... (TMI, but...) I definitely got them with my first pregnancy, but not with my m/c. What a random symptom...

@Mrs.KMM: I'm pretty sure heart rate isn't supposed to go above 140.

@Mrs.KMM: When I took a barre class in person the teacher was pregnant and so were a couple of students. She told them not to let their heart rate get over 160, and that they may start to feel lightheaded and dizzy. The video I did last night also said take breaks if you feel heart rate going up. I'll have to ask the doctor at my next apt if there's an actual need to take breaks for heart rate. I have my next apt next Friday.

@dc yoga bee: You'll have to let us know what he says. I don't have my appointment until Nov. 3rd.

@MrsBrewer: Babies can measure ahead or behind on ultrasounds. It's not an exact science. I believe my OB changes the due date if there's a week's difference in measurements. My LO measured ahead on the first one and the due date didn't change.

@MrsBrewer: yay for hearing a heartbeat and early USs!

I had to tell my boss today at only 5w5d! 1/4 of my school was flooded 5 weeks ago and they had to condemn and demolish interior walls, rip up carpet, etc. Meanwhile, I've been teaching in the library. Well, now they're on the "reconstruction" phase so the hallways and rooms are filled with the smells of new paint. I am supposed to move back into my room sometime next week, and so I felt like I had to tell my principal so he could ask the construction company about it. He is a nice guy, but I didn't want to share this early.

@MrsBrewer: That is so exciting!!!!

I have my first u/s tomorrow and I am nervous as all hell. Fortunately, I am leaving early today for a long weekend vacation. Hopefully this makes the time go by quick.

@Eko: I was soooooo nervous too! But it was great! Now granted, I totally felt violated LOL because of the transvaginal ultrasound, and then the midwife just had me do a normal physical/exam as well.

@MrsBrewer: Yay! Love that we're starting to get ultrasound pictures on this thread! Looks like the OB's office finally believes the dating on your pregnancy instead of going off the LMP that you knew was misleading.

My mouth keeps filling up with saliva, and I'm feeling slightly queasy. If I keep popping jolly ranchers it makes the feeling go away. I hope this isn't the start of morning sickness!

@dc yoga bee: I don't have morning sickness yet but I always get a ton of extra saliva when I am about to throw up.

@cascademom: When is your appt?

Is anyone else burping a ton? I feel like I do 24/7, it's gross!

DH is nuts. He's acting like there is a crib shortage, and wants to buy our crib...this weekend! I'll only be 7 weeks. But, there's only one crib we both love, and we think it may be getting discontinued. It's so cute to see him this excited, but it's so early LOL.

@Mrs.KMM: it's a 3 in 1 convertible crib from pottery barn.

Tiptoeing in here...

Location: NYC-area

EDD: Based on IUI/O/AF, I've put it as June 26 so far.

How far along: 4 weeks?

First child? Yes, finally!!

First doctor appointment: I'm at a RE so they'll keep me there for a while before releasing me to my OB/GYN. I go back on Wednesday the 22nd for repeat betas.

Any symptoms so far? Nada! I think that's why this is still so surreal.

Who have you told? DH, an IRL IF friend and HB, of course!

@dc yoga bee: it's super cute! I love PB cribs.

@LindsayInNY: congrats and welcome!
