@Tanjowen: I'm pretty all over the place with hormones. I'm ragey buy also crying. I started crying during one of hgtv home reno shows
-
@lilyofthewest: I'm so sorry
-
What is your favorite thing to snack on when you feel semi nauseous? Mine is goldfish crackers but I'm looking to branch out.
-
@lilyofthewest: I am so so sorry. I cant imagine what it must be like to have to go through this. You are in my thoughts.
-
@mybell208: I love Annies Cheddar Bunnies. Or plain saltine crackers. I have been struggling this pregnancy with the nausea
-
Had my 8 week appointment yesterday. Still two heartbeats, and midwife confirmed di/di twins. Feeling optimistic. My next appointment is @ 10 weeks.
-
8 week appointment today and heard a strong heartbeat and measuring right where we should! So relieved I cried on the table. Due December 4th, and I go back the end of May at 13 weeks for another ultrasound and to meet the practice's midwives.
-
@Run2shore: @Tanjowen: congrats!
-
@Run2shore: Yay for a good appointment! And twins, so exciting!
@Eko: Thank you!

Hello everyone! Brand new here, figured this was a good place to get started...
EDD: 12/27 based on last period, but based on when we tried, I'm certain it will be later
First child? Yes!
Any symptoms? Honestly, nope. I felt a little bloated when my period should have come, but then when it was three days late I tested.
Who have you told? His parents and my best friends
Current thoughts/feelings/fears? Shock and excitement and anxiousness! It was our first try, so while we're unbelievably happy, we were not expecting it to be so sudden. A little overwhelmed realizing everything I don't know and need to figure out now just about being pregnant itself. And that feeling that I assume is the common for first time parents: wow-we will be responsible for this tiny little person!!! Amazing. But mostly just can't wait to get into the doc's in two weeks and hear a heartbeat!
-
@starchild: Congrats and welcome!
-
@starchild: Congrats!
-
Anyone feel like they are showing already? Second time mom here and just over 5 weeks I'm showing. This is ridiculous
-
I read second time moms usually show sooner.
-
I had pink spotting last night. Trying to not get worked up but I'm really worried. It did stop. I'm out of town but coming back in today and calling my doctor. I keep reminding myself I heard a good strong heartbeat a week ago
-
@Tanjowen: aww hang in there, I'm sure it's nothing!! Sending you good vibes!!!
-
@Tanjowen: I'm sure it isn't anything serious!
-
@chypmunk: @Eko: Thanks ladies. Just called my doctor and they don't seem concerned, just told me to take it easy. I wish they would do an ultrasound but I will just have to try to stay positive and temper expectations until my 12 week scan.
I keep reminding myself the odds are heavily in my favor after hearing a heartbeat.
-
@Tanjowen: I hope everything is okay!
I'm trying not to freak out either but it's hard with my history. A few days ago I had discolored discharge, back ache and a drop in symptoms which before has always been a bad sign. I have my 8w appointment tomorrow so we will see.
-
@mybell208: I hope it all goes well tomorrow!!!
It is very hard to not freak out, I agree. Hoping for good news for you.

Hey ladies! Those of you that are second(or more)-time moms, how is this pregnancy comparing to your first? My first pregnancy I had a little bit of nausea/fatigue but it was totally bearable - this one is completely kicking my ass. And I'm not even 6 weeks! (will be Thursday). For the last week I've had constant nausea, am so tired, and generally just feel like I've been hit by a truck. I'm dreading what the next 8 weeks are going to be like if it's already this bad. And thanks to hormones, I get so emotional when I think about it! I hate that I've been slacking a bit at work, and I haven't been as fun playing with my daughter as I used to be.
I know a lot of you are probably going through the same or worse - thanks for letting me whine. 
-
@mybell208: how did your appointment Go?
@kayla0416: My symptoms are so much different this round. With my first it was mostly fatigue. This time it is everything I'm waves. I have some days where I'm nauseous, then indigestion issues, sore boobs.. It's going down and checking off every possible box. The fatigue is always hard. I went to bed at 9 and took 2 naps today.
-
@kayla0416: The fatigue the first few weeks sucked. I napped everyday and went to bed at 9 pm. At 9 weeks, I'm starting to gain a little more energy, but I wear out fast!
The nausea is getting me more than anything. I don't remember having this much in prior pregnancies.
-
@mybell208: thinking of you. Thread stalker for sure.
-
@mybell208: How did you appointment go?
-
Thank you for the welcome!
Sending good thoughts for you both, @Tanjowen: and @mybell208:!
-
How is everyone doing? I had a dream last night I was having twins and now I'm dying for my appointment. I really don't want twins.
-
@EKO I am totally with you. We had our appointment a few weeks ago. Clearly, no twins, but I am still having very vivid dreams that I am having twins. My husband thinks its hilarious. He is all for twins [that we're not having], but I just think about the daycare costs in the DC area and have a small panic attach.
-
@tramdoof: that's funny! Twins run in our family so on my first pregnancy I was like if it happens we can make I work, but going from 1-3 I'm petrified of. I'm still worried about how to take care of an infant and toddler
-
@Eko: I was convinced it was going to be twins, and asked the ultrasound tech a few times that it was just one, right?! And I'm not opposed to twins, but I too am nervous about handling two kids alone, much less 3.
I'm about to have to move into maternity pants at almost 10 weeks. Second baby bumps apparently happen a lot quicker than I realized!
-
@Eko: @knittylady: @mrskansas: @starchild:
Thanks for the love ladies, truly. My appointment did not go well unfortunately and I'm already starting to miscarry. I really really was hopeful this time (between my bouts of pessimism, right?). I was looking forward too, to being preggo w/my best gal @mrstal - but at least I get to be there for her (i mean TWINS, right!) I'm wavering between bouts of being semi-okay to bawling, but I know I'll be okay in the end. I wish everyone luck and maybe I'll be on here in the future. I think I'm going to go for testing before getting pregnant again (that was the plan this past time around, but then the pleasant surprise). Love to you all
-
@mybell208: I am so sorry
-
@mybell208: I'm really sorry to hear that
I understand what you are going through and wish you a physical and mental speedy recovery.
-
@Tanjowen: I'm sitting over here at 6 weeks and definitely feel like they will be broken out before the month is out.
-
@mybell208: I am so sorry.
-
@mybell208: I'm so sorry. Please pm anytime. Much love and healing time thoughts to you.
-
@mybell208: I'm sorry. Hugs and support!
-
@Eko: I'm a twin and I'm 31... so just gonna hold my breath over here!
-
Thank you everyone
-
@mybell208 I am so so sorry. Take time to grieve and be kind to yourself.
It is very hard to not freak out, I agree. Hoping for good news for you.
I know a lot of you are probably going through the same or worse - thanks for letting me whine.
