Is this a second baby for anyone else??

My only symptom so far is major sleepiness at around 330. I lay on my LO's bedroom floor and she plays around me. I've also taught her where the baby is. She comes and lifts my shirt and gives baby kisses. She also sometimes gets confused and thinks the baby is under her shirt.

@IcebergMom: This will be my second baby! I'm so tired!

@autumnlove How old is your LO? Mine is 14.5 months.

Hi everyone! I haven't checked in for awhile but wanted to report in that we had our ultrasound today! Definitely one of the coolest things I've ever seen. We saw the heartbeat and everything is looking really good. I am measuring 7 weeks and 6 days.

Hope everyone is feeling great and can't wait till everyone else starts sharing ultrasounds too!

I don't think I ever posted my ultrasound from 2 weeks ago!

@MrsTiz: Yes!! For my first pregnancy, I had that symptom for a few weeks...I think week 4-7? I didn't know I was pregnant at the time and I was googling endless medical possibilities!
So nasty! I hope it goes away soon for you.

I think I'm too lazy to do real bump pics.

@MrsTiz: I think sucking on Lemonheads helped me get that horrific taste out of my mouth.

I like that bump tracker!

Hi ladies!

Dropping in late to join you all here at the encouragement of Jojogirl, who I've been chatting about crossfit with on another thread here. I have a dating US tomorrow (loooong cycles), so I should get a better date, but right now I think I'll be due in the last few days of May.

Location: Pennsylvania
EDD: last week of May?
How far along?: Guessing 6w and a few days
How long TTC: surprise!
First child?: Yes
First doctor's appointment: I had an appointment last Friday with my midwife, and have the US with a tech tomorrow. I'll probably be switching practices so will have another "first" appointment in the next few weeks.
How do you feel?/Symptoms so far: Right around when I got the positive test I was feeling kind of off, and then I had a week where I felt great. The last few days I've been feeling pretty lousy - vaguely naseous, exhausted, but also suffering from insomnia.
Who have you told?: Just SO, my best friend, and his best friend. We will probably be telling the parents tomorrow if we have a good US. Feeling SUPER nervous, in part because we aren't married yet, though we've been together for years, are in our early thirties, are established etc... I know it's totally common these days, but it still makes me nervous about our parents' reaction.

Looking forward to getting to know all of you!

@Revel: Welcome! I was in the same boat and I was nervous about telling my parents!

Anyone else not really having many symptoms?? I'm starting to get nervous something is wrong. I know we're not supposed to hang our hat on symptoms = better but I feel weird the only thing I have is sore boobs at 6w4d. Anyone else?

Ah I've missed you guys! I've been away at a conference which was 4 days straight of 6AM - 10PM meetings and networking events. I felt like such a terrible employee because I had no energy to talk with people and "shmooze". Oh well, hopefully they'll understand once they find out. I got a pat down rather than going through the scanner at the airport, and it was quite "intimate" but not too bad. My coworkers didn't really question it, which I was so thankful for.

So exciting that some of you guys are getting your U/S's already!! Love the pictures

@JoJoGirl: My symptoms have been pretty on and off, so I wouldn't worry too much. This week I didn't really have any nausea (which I'm grateful for), but of course it made me worry too. I'm 7W2D and starting to feel a little cruddy again today. My boobs aren't incredibly sore, so I think I may be the odd one out with that too. It's such a weird feeling to wish for symptoms sometimes, isn't it?!

@Revel: Welcome!!! Excited to share in this time with you!

@jojogirl I am almost 9 weeks (I think) and wasn't queasy or tired until I think last week? And even now, both are manageable.

We're having an u/s on Monday where they hope to see the heartbeat (it was too early when I went in a little after 5 weeks), so I'm feeling INCREDIBLY anxious. It's going to be a looooong weekend.

Hi all! I think it's about time I come out of the preggo closet and stop lurking

Location: PA, USA
EDD: May, 2 2013
How far along?: nugget is measuring 9w3d
How long TTC: 6ish months
First child?: Yes!
First doctor's appointment: we had our first ultrasound 10/1 and we have another appt 10/10
How do you feel?/Symptoms so far: better this week! However weeks 6&7 were terrible. I probably get sick once or twice a week now.
Who have you told?: Our parents, siblings, and my boss/coworkers.

@JoJoGirl: I'm the same way, my boobs don't hurt, i'm not nauseous, i'm not emotional, i'm just HUNGRY. So I hope symptoms don't = healthy baby! I'm 8w1d today I believe? I've just been going Sunday to Sunday for my weeks haha. I'll know better once I see my OB on the 15th

Hi ladies, just wanted to check in with an update. We told our parents (I had mentioned I was nervous) and they are so excited! It's great and makes the whole thing seem more real.

On the flip side, I am feeling sooooo awful. I think I was feeling little bits of nausea last week but it hit me full force on Saturday. No vomiting but I am nauseous pretty much all day long. Eating is a challenge and I can barely get any protein in. I was eating paleo before this so switching to all this gluten and white carbs is probably also not helping how I feel. Saturday was absolutely the worst - yesterday was a slight improvement and today so far feel about the same. I'm at work right now so we'll see how that goes.

@Cupcake, welcome! Your post totally gave me hope that I might just feel terrible for a week or two. I'm 6w2/3d right now and am getting so depressed thinking about feeling this way for 6 more weeks.

@Maybebaby, thanks! Good luck at your US tomorrow!

How is everyone feeling?

hey ladies! congrats on all the BFPs i've been active on the weddingbee may 2013 thread, and just found this one! today i'm 6w5d with my second ultrasound on wednesday. my EDD is 5/29.

@mintmercury: Congrats and welcome!

Count me in. We're using a surrogate and today we heard the hb and got a May 29 due date. Best to all you May Mommas!

Had our 9 week (based on LMP) ultrasound today but they are thinking that I ovulated late and that it is more like 8 weeks... but we heard a heartbeat! Crazy. I was so anxious beforehand and it was SUCH a relief to hear it.

@maybebaby good luck tomorrow!

Telling families soon... and starting to obsess over planning. I try to tell myself to chill out, but I can't help thinking things like: "OMG I won't even have a winter coat that fits!"

@mjane: So excited you heard a heartbeat!!!!!! I ovulated late too so am also a week behind my EDD based on LMP. But the doc doesn't know that yet.

@maybebaby: Thanks!

Just got off the phone with the nurse for a pre-appt 'interview' - because of my long-ish cycles, I'm having an ultrasound Thursday!! Yippee!!
