Location: Maryland - suburb of Baltimore

EDD: June 1

How far along: 4 weeks

First child? No, we have a 21 month old daughter

First doctor appointment: I still need to call

Any symptoms so far? Cramps since 6 DPO, bloating, very mild nausea, vivid dreams, sleepiness

Who have you told? My sister and DH. I told my husband by giving DD the positive test and telling her to take it to DH and say "baby". She followed my instructions perfectly. My husband, totally clueless, said, "J, why do you have a pregnancy test? You'd better not be pregnant!" I said, "No, but mommy is! " He was pretty shocked! We didn't expect it to happen so fast and definitely appreciate how fortunate we were.

@78h2o: Oh man I was totally unoriginal! He was in the shower, and I took a test quick, and I just stood there staring at it, and i just blurted out "Holy crap there's a line!!" hahahah and I handed it to him while he was in the shower!

@MrsBrewer: My DH was in the shower too, lol!

So delighted for all of you! Best wishes!

@MrsBrewer: @78h2o: I am so excited for you both!!!

@QBbride: congrats to you!

@MrsBrewer: @QBbride: Are you ladies feeling more emotional? My first heads up that I could be pregnant was 7 DPO when I snapped at some poor clerk at BJs Wearhouse. The only other time I've acted like that was when I was pregnant w/ J and Southwest delayed our flight 8 hrs. Then, this morning, I started crying on my drive to work because the cute kids waiting with their parents at the bus stop made me think about J growing up and going to school. Seriously. Hormones are for real.

@LovelyPlum: @autumnlove: @Bigskygirl: Thank you so much!

Oh so exciting to see this board! Congrats ladies!

@78h2o: I love how you told DH! Soooooo cute!

@MrsBrewer: Yay, that's exciting! I think the earliest the hb can be seen via ultrasound is about 6.5 weeks, so don't be scared if you have an ultrasound and don't see it yet.

I'm going to fib about my LMP because I'm pretty sure when I ovulated and I want them to go by that

@MrsBrewer: total thread jack to say that i O'd super late (D42) with my DD and they gave me a bad prognosis at my 1st appt because they said i was 8/9 weeks when i was really 5. i was sure of my O date, so i wasn't totally freaked, but they did make me go in for blood tests to check my levels and confirm a viable pregnancy. so if i were you, i would actually push the date back if you can. or go in with documentation of your dates and push for betas if they question you.

@birdofafeather: @78h2o: Thank you for your input! seriously! I have my Fertility Friend app, that I was doing all of my charting on, and truthfully the O date is pretty unmistakable.

Part of my wants to go in and have the appt just to see if I could see a heart beat. I told the nurse to begin with also that I knew my O date, and that she would put that in the notes.

Do you think it really would be best to push it back? Maybe even to just the Friday? Because then I would show that I would be 6W3D

@jetsa: yeah, that's why I fib to them! My cycles are 23 days, so it's not a huge difference, but it's annoying!

@MrsBrewer: I just did a little googling and it sounds like 6w0d is borderline... you could likely see it, but maybe not. I think you'd have a better chance on Friday, but it's up to you. With J, I got an ultrasound at 6w4d (or possibly 6w1d) after I had some spotting/sharp pains. I was able to see a heartbeat, though the tech gave me a long lecture beforehand about how I might not see a hb and things might still be ok.

@78h2o: yeah, it sucked because DH was more freaked that i was!

@MrsBrewer: i went in around 5w (can't remember exactly) and it looked like nothing. i then went back 2 weeks later and we could see the blink of the HB. so i would want to push it back to 7w. BUT that's knowing what i know now and with what would be my 2nd kiddo. i know the wait is longer with #1!

Good luck from a June 2014 mom. My little guy is almost 4 months old and I can't believe that only a year ago I didn't know I was pregnant yet.

Location: Midwest

EDD: June 1, 2015

How far along: 4w1d

First child? nope, #2. LO is 25 months old

First doctor appointment: October 27th

Any symptoms so far? nausea, back pain, fatigue. It's come on a lot quicker this time than last time.

Who have you told? my mom when I was worried it was a chemical as well as a friend of mine trying as well.

The tests have been getting darker. The OB's office is feeling confident in the pregnancy since the spotting happened once and didn't continue. I can go in for an ultrasound before October 27th if spotting happens again. I like my OB's office, just the scheduling of the appointment sucks because she works nights for a stretch and then has some days off in between.

My appointment's at 8am too. DH is going to the morning routine with LO while I go to the appointment. We could attempt a family leave at 7am, but might be impossible.

@cascademom: yay! So happy to see you here! Glad the spotting stopped and your doctor is feeling confident! Looks like we are due date buddies!

I have been having occasional brown/pink spotting + cramps....the cramps I've had since 6DPO and remember having them with my daughter, so hopefully it's ok. I had spotting with DD at 6 weeks, but I also had it with my first pregnancy that ended in miscarriage. My tests are getting darker, but after cramps that kept me up last night, I called the OB nurse this morning and begged for betas. So I got blood drawn today and will go back Fri. Hopefully all will be well and it will give me some peace of mind!

@MrsBrewer: that's awesome! What a sweet anniversary activity

@jetsa: I thought so too!

@78h2o: how awesome!! How long have you been married??
