Hey ladies, new to this website! I am due September 16th, so excited! How far along is everyone else? We had our first ultrasound last week at 8 weeks and saw the baby and got to hear the heartbeat which was 167bpm. From the beginning , my symptoms have not been all that bad, sore boobs, peeing alot, tired, headaches, queasy & hungry more often. The last week it seems like my symptoms are gone or are not close to how they were. Even though we heard the heartbeat, I still freak out. I have heard that as you get close to the second tri, some womens symptoms will fade. Anyone else gone through this or currently going through it?
Happy Pregnancy to everyone:)

I totally felt exactly like this earlier today!
I'm 12w5d and just had an ultrasound today. I hadn't seen or heard any evidence of the baby since 7 weeks so even though I had no signs or symptoms something was wrong, I was still worried there might be. But baby is totally fine!My advice is relax as best you can.
Symptoms often do fade as we get near the end of the first tri so that is nothing to worry about! I know it's easier said than done.
-
Thank you! I am constantly worrying something is wrong if I dont feel sick haha! It was such a relief to see the baby and hear the heartbeat! Congrats on hitting 12 weeks:)
-
I was like that in the first trimester! Most days I didn't feel good, but then I'd have 2-3 where I did and I'd get worried. It was all fine. 28 weeks this week and baby girl is kicking me as we speak
-
I haven't had strong pregnancy symptoms at any point besides consistent sore boobs, everything else has been very mild! Barely had any morning sickness/never threw up. It's hard not to worry though in the beginning!
I'm almost 18 weeks now.If you haven't found them already, there are due date boards, you should join Sept!
-
Welcome! I'm due September 19 and have been feeling a bit the same. It's way different than when I was pregnant with LO and puked for 6 months, and by the time that stopped I could feel her kicking as reassurance. But, I'm just trusting that everything is okay unless I have a reason not to
-
My symptoms have definitely faded as I've gotten into the second trimester!
-
Thank you ladies so much for the input and encouraging words, helps so much!! It was such a relief to hear the heartbeat, but I still find myself worrying about everything!! I will join the September board now:)
-
For some reason I cannot seem to find the September 2014 board? Can anyone help me?

I was one of the unlucky ones whose symptoms never faded (til 30 weeks!! The nausea!) Which is nice because that helped reassure me- although on the off day where I felt almost normal I clearly panicked. MANY people lose their symptoms as they approach the 2nd tri and I know many women who felt like their best normal selves in 2nd tri! Hopefully you're one of them! Know that your worries are normal though! It gets easier when you can feel them move to reassure you
(ps- CONGRATS!)
-
Totally normal for sysmptoms to come and go at first. You might have a good week, and then the next week you might feel yucky. Enjoy those good days!
-
Love all the reassuring comments!! Its so nice to have others to talk to:) Congrats to everyone! Thank you for the help on getting to the Sept blog!
-
Even bad morning sickness can ebb and flow, I think it's normal! Of course, that didn't stop me from freaking out on days I felt ok, because even bad symptoms are reassuring, you know? Emotionally, the beginning of the second trimester, after morning sickness ended but before having a bump and being able to feel kicks was the hardest for me. I even went to the office a couple of times & begged them to use the doppler so I could hear the heartbeat for reassurance! Hugs!
-
I had minimal symptoms at first and they faded by the time I hit the 2nd trimester.
My daughter is almost 2 now.

@meg44life: Yep, what all the others have said! I'm due 9/22 and have felt pretty normal the last three days other than being really hungry. I started to worry, but my mom said she only had morning sickness from 6-8 weeks so I've got my fingers crossed that the worst is over! And if not, at least I've enjoyed my few days of feeling good.
Congrats and welcome - and yes, join us on the Sept. '14 due date board!
-
Thank you ladies!!!!
Its so reassuring! I know hearing my little munchkins heartbeat already made me fall in love!! I am already feeling like I have a little bump haha, I am assuming right now its mainly gas (sorry tmi), anyways, I love having the tiny little bump already!!
-
I had the same concerns as you did early on (I'm 34 weeks now with a boy). I hardly had any symptoms in the first trimester. Initially I had headaches and was very tired but any and all symptoms began to fade around 8 weeks and really never came back (I've been super lucky).
But don't freak out - it's totally normal for symptoms to fade and hopefully they stay away for you too. Sounds like you're off to a wonderful start - congratulations!
-
@meg44life: Did you ever think you would be WISHING to feel like crap?
-
Congratulations, and what a fantastic due date (it's my birthday!)
Weeks 15-19 were the worst for me. Symptoms started to fade and I couldn't feel LO move around yet. We were so on edge b/c I had 2 prior losses, so I absolutely know how you feel. It's so hard not to go out of your mind with worry!
The great thing is...you heard a super strong heartbeat! It's definitely normal for symptoms to fade, and soon enough, LO will be kicking you in the ribs or getting hiccups that prevent you from sleeping
-
@preggomeggo82: Haha!! I know, i feel like i want to be throwing up haha!! I guess I need to stop worrying and try and enjoy:)
-
@2PeasinaPod: Oh wow, that is a GREAT day! Thats what I keep telling myself:) I am anxious for our next appointment which is when we will be 12 weeks!!!!
-
@merbaby14: Great to know that I am not alone. From the beginning I never had really bad symptoms, I think maybe my body is used to it OR it hasnt hit me yet!! Hearing that little heartbeat was such a dream come true!!
-
This was me too! I never had a lot of symptoms and now I'm 17 weeks.. Hearing the heartbeat was AMAZING for us too, so fun. Congrats!
I'm 12w5d and just had an ultrasound today. I hadn't seen or heard any evidence of the baby since 7 weeks so even though I had no signs or symptoms something was wrong, I was still worried there might be. But baby is totally fine!
