@LCTBQE: It does really feel like something stretching, so I really hope that's all it is.
@scurbro: Welcome! My EDD is the 5th too! -
Ladies, I drew the short straw--I'm out. I went in today for my 8-week scan, and the fetus had stopped growing at 6 and a half weeks. I was having all the healthy symptoms of progression, which I now understand is exactly the way it goes with a missed miscarriage. Since my uterus apparently has no idea it is housing dead cells, the D&C is scheduled for tomorrow morning. I'm pretty upset at the time setback. Also, I spent my entire adult life trying to be so responsible with birth control to AVOID getting an abortion, and now that I actually want a child, I have to go get one, and it terrifies me. I don't believe in God or fate, just science--so since it was probably chromosomal defect, I'm glad to get it over with. Still so sad, though.
I wish you all the best and hope every one of you has a lovely, smooth pregnancy and a gorgeous healthy baby next April! Good luck, xxx

My husband and I went to my first appointment yesterday. The ultrasound tech instructed me to take everything off from my waist down. I commented to him that was a bit strange since "doesn't the jelly go on the belly?" When the tech came back she sure didn't use that method!
We saw our little fetus on the screen. It measured 8 weeks exactly, my due date is 4/15. The heartbeat was 171 bpm. The egg came from my right ovary- who knew they'd be able to tell that?!
-
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Sounds like a great appointment. That's crazy that they were able to tell which ovary it came from!
-
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: congrats on a good appt and a good strong heartbeat!
-
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Congratulations. I'm pleased to hear baby is cooking nicely in there.
-
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: yay! I can't wait for my appt.!!! Ahhhh still 2 weeks...
-
@jh524: How are you feeling?
Nausea is ramping up here. I've been waking up in the middle of the night feeling so sick! I have to eat constantly to keep it at bay. I'm going to be enormous at this rate!
-
My biggest symptoms have been the hunger pains, random tiredness and not sleeping well at night. I've been a bit queasy and off sometimes, but I really haven't had any MS or nausea. I'll be 10 weeks on Tuesday! Double digits!
-
@auggiefrog: Wow, a 1/4 of the way there already!
-
@Cherrybee: I never thought of it like that. That's pretty cool!
-
@Cherrybee: so sorry you're feling nauseous, but glad to know someone else is going through what I am. I've thrown up every day this week!
And I'll also be enormous with you. We're you sick for your first pregnacy, too?@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: congrats on your first ultrasound! The transvaginal can be quite the surprise if you're not expecting it, but so worth it to see that little gummy bear and heartbeat!
-
@MrsRoo: Nope! Not at all! I had one afternoon of nausea when I was 5.5wks and that was it! I got away so lightly last time!
-
@Cherrybee: good to know! My first was similar, I'd get a tiny wave of nausea if I got too hungry, and then it would pass. I was so excited for another easy pregnancy, hah! I feel like hell this time around.
-
@auggiefrog: @bloved: @Cherrybee: @jh524: @MrsRoo: thanks ladies!
@auggiefrog: I'm having issues sleepin too. I bought one of those Snoogli pillows and that's helped except when my husband's snoring interrupts me. LOL Have you seen Snoogli? You can curl up to support your back and your tummy.
-
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I think I've seen them. My biggest problem is waking up and having too much energy to fall back asleep though.
-
@Cherrybee: hi! I've been so sick, it's bad! Today had been my worst day. A salad put me over the edge and I've been suffering all day from that one salad ;/ every smell turns my stomach, like I want to Live outside with the birds because my house smells. I feel i could lose the contents of my stomach any minute! Can't even handle taking my prenatal gummy vitamins! And I feel like my stomach is hugely bloated which makes me feel uncomfortable because I know baby is only the size of a blueberry. Agh!!!
-
@jh524: I have massive bloating here as well. It gets worse as the day goes on.
-
@Cherrybee:
Ladies have you tried a PSI Band?! It's a acupressure band that helps ease morning sickness and motion sickness, etc.. I got one today at BabiesRus and it really took the edge off my nausea! I can really feel a difference. Just enough relief to be able to manage the day. Lol

-
@jh524: that looks fantastic. I'm glad it takes the edge off, I'll be purchasing one this week and hope to report back similar results! Thanks for sharing.
-
@jh524: Wow, I cant believe it works!! I need to get one.... but how will I explain it at work??!
I drove home to be sick yesterday lunchtime! 25 miles each way!! 
-
@Cherrybee: it doesn't look like much. Just a plain black bracelet, kinda sporty. They have different colors and styles. Hopefully they won't even notice it!
@MrsRoo: thanks! I hope it works for you too!!!
-
Tomorrow is my pregnancy confirmation appointment - finally! Unfortunately LO has HFMD - the fever came Saturday and the rash/blisters started Sunday and continue. I am totally freaking out that I may get this too. I plan to ask the dr about it tomorrow. Unfortunately it sounds like you are most contagious up to the point of the rash - so I could be contagious now and part of me wonders if I should reschedule my dr appointment. My mom does not remember me having HFMD when I was a baby. Does anyone have any experience with this?
-
Thankfully, I haven't had morning sickness yet. I hope the PSI band gives you guys some major relief!!
@autumnleaves: oh no, sorry to hear about your LO. I hope she begins to feel better soon and doesn't infect you!
-
@autumnleaves: I hope your LO feels better soon. I don't remember getting HFMD as a kid at all either.
@jh524: cool! I've been sucking on preggie drops but I'll try this too. The preggie drops work well but I don't want to be relying on something so sugary.
I had my U/S take two today and measured 8 weeks exactly. EDD 4/20
and a HB of 155.
-
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I am with you, no morning sickness yet. I never had any with my son, so I am wondering if it will just skip me over.
My main symptom is just exhaustion.
I go for my 7 week ultrasound tomorrow. Nervous, but hopeful for good news.
-
@autumnleaves: no experience, but hope you don't get it and lo kicks it fast!! Hope your appt. goes great too!! Mines not until next Thurs.!
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: your so lucky!!!!
@akcoffeebean: yay! Congrats on a happy appt.!Well today the psi band hasn't seemed to do much because I've felt terrible most of the day but I don't dare take it off!!! Lol
@bloved: good luck with your appt tomorrow!! I'm sure it will be perfect -
@autumnleaves: Hand, foot and mouth? I think most adults have better immune systems, and aren't as at risk, but I'm not sure about those who are pregnant. I know that one of my old day care center directors got it a few years ago and it was pretty rare that she got it as an adult. GL tomorrow!
@bloved: My main symptom has been tiredness as well, and I'm 10 weeks today. GL tomorrow!
@akcoffeebean: Great news! Congrats!
-
@jh524: so I realized that I already had bands like this from a cruise. I wore them today and made it through 10 hours at a theme park with only the slightest twinge of nausea! You're a lifesaver!!!!
I hope your D&C goes well, fast and your quickly on the road to health and recovery. Hugs to you!!!
And I'll also be enormous with you. We're you sick for your first pregnacy, too?
I drove home to be sick yesterday lunchtime! 25 miles each way!!
