Kicking off June 2013 board

By LazyLightning Sep 25, 2012

Hello, just thought I'd start this out! Got the BFP on 9/23, Sunday, 10DPO. I would have been due for my period today (12DPO/CD25) but not this time!

Not sure what to say here so here are some details, I copied this layout from the May 2013 board.

Location: northern midwest.
EDD: June 6
How far along: 3w 6d
First child? Yes
First Dr. Appointment:
I called my OB office and the receptionist told me the doctors don't like to see patients until 12 weeks along. Seems late to me, but OK. I actually made the appointment for week 11 because i will be out of town week 12. Come on, Nov. 14!
How do you feel/symptoms?
I'm bloated and a little crampy. Been having waves of nausea since Saturday (before my BFP!). Boobs a little sore today too, but haven't been up until now. I threw up once today after smelling something foul that took me by surprise. All very manageable so far. No cravings, though I have a big appetite (and eating helps if I feel nauseous).
Who have you told? Husband.

Congrats @nodakiddo!

I *think* I am late May / early June but won't know for sure until my first appt. in a few weeks. My cycles are pretty wacky so my last period was August 3rd, but I think I only ovulated a couple of weeks ago. Makes it hard to pinpoint how far along I am.

I had an early miscarriage in January so I am very excited and scared at the same time. But mostly excited.

Location: Indiana

EDD: May/June? We shall see...

How far along: Between 3 & 4 weeks

First child? Yes

First Dr. Appointment: I've been in twice this week to have my blood drawn and HCG tested. It doubled between Monday and Wednesday (just found out today) so I feel such a huge relief just knowing that things are going well this time. My first appointment is October 16th and they said we may even be able to hear the heartbeat!

How do you feel/symptoms? Not too much so far. Pretty exhausted most of the time and hungry. I have felt the slightest bit nauseous a few times and can definitely tell I am getting more winded/light headed when working out.

Who have you told? Husband, Sister, Brother and Sister-In-Law

@tlcbaby: Congrats and welcome to the board!

I got a blood test positive today. Feeling more real. I feel you on the windedness-lightheadedness too. Earlier tonight I kept forgetting things and had to go up and down the stairs a few times, I didn't realize I was getting so winded until I had to just stop and breathe for a minute. Crazy how it sneaks up on you, isn't it!

@nodakiddo - yes! I had to go up two flights of stairs to get to my spin class last Friday and just that felt like a workout

Getting the good news on the blood test definitely makes it feel more real. I feel like I can actually get a little excited, though I will feel better after my first REAL appointment.

Thanks, @mediagirl
@nodakiddo, even though the wait is hard you should get a lot more out of the appt if you are a little further along. With the pregnancy I lost my first appt was such a let down. I went pretty early and they did nothing but a pregnancy test. I was expecting much more.

DH was the only one who I told in a fun way.. I picked him up from school and said, "I think we should stop by the grocery store on the way home. We need to stock up on decaf coffee, and pasteurized cheese, and non-alcoholic beverages..." He sat there for a full minute and then turned to me and said, "Are you pregnant??" It was really fun. I think we're done telling people for now until the second trimester.

@heatherloveskenny - thanks!

@knittylady - that is really funny I told my husband by saying "Will you come in here and look at this pregnancy test" I needed another set of eyes to confirm what I was seeing.

@tlcbaby: haha, that's how I told him with our BFP in June. The only reason it didn't got that way this time was cause I was home alone and he was at school. It's too hard not to get a second opinion if one is available!

Welcome, @knittylady!

I told my husband in a boring way. I just showed him the test. LOL. I haven't told anyone else yet but I don't plan to do anything cutesy. However, I don't want to just blurt it out either. Not sure what I'll do yet; telling my parents next week so it should be interesting. I'll probably just end up being like, "oh, i can't have an espresso right now," and they'll ask why, etc.

Congrats you all, holy cow that seems so far away! I'm due in November... if anyone is feeling sick, just remember it'll probably get better (And I didn't do anything cute to tell my husband either - I was gross, in a ratty robe and called him in saying holy **** is this what I think it is!!)

How are you calling your weeks? My "week 5" starts on Thursday," but I can't remember that and definitely don't want to be the person who is all "oh, I'm Xweeks, Ydays" all the time. So, I think I'm just going to start my weeks on Monday. (So today, I'd say I'm 5 weeks even though that's not till later in the week).

And, how are you ladies feeling? Good still, I hope? I have a persistent headache and a bit dizzy the last few days. Much more dizzy in the morning and before bed, than in the middle of the day. I also don't sleep well at night. I'm still temping, mainly because I'm astonished at how high my temp has been! Above 99 pretty much since the BFP over a week ago. No wonder I can't sleep--I'm so warm.

Been eating too much, but I figure if I am sicker in a few weeks I'll want to have some extra 'fat stores'. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it.)

Sigh. I've been feeling progressively sicker each day for the past week. Then this morning I woke up with no symptoms at all. fever was gone, no sore boobs, no dizziness or headache. I feel fine. Of course now I'm worried.

I've been calling myself "5 weeks" all week, but I'm actually at week 5 today. I'll feel a lot better once i get to week 6! Still feeling great today, symptom-free. Hoping that's just stellar luck and not anything more ominous.

How are the other June 2013 mamas feeling??

5 weeks today as well! The first real mile-stone. It feels good, but soooo far from 12

I'm feeling pretty good, but waves of nausea the past two days. And peeing.all.the.time.

@knittylady: I'm not having the peeing problem. I won't complain I guess! (I mean, I do pee more but it's because I'm drinking more water, I'm pretty sure.0
Definitely waves of nausea too, here.

It' so weird, I'll have waves of nausea and wonder if it's real. And now this morning I might be hungry or nauseous, I can't tell! Ugh, wanting to puke is so weird and confusing!

Hi @knittylady and @nodakiddo! My symptoms have definitely been picking up this week. I think I will be six weeks this week, but with my wacky cycles I really won't know until my appointment on the 16th.

I have been more tired than I have ever been in my life, even when I get plenty of sleep! I just want to sleep all the time, but I am trying to train for a 6 mile race at the end of the month, so I've been doing my workouts later in the day instead of first thing in the morning.

I am always starving and I can't make it through the night without waking up to pee. I've had a bit of insomnia, too. I usually can't fall back asleep after I wake up to pee.

I only get a little nauseous if I let myself get too hungry. I am waiting for the husband to wake up right now so we can go get some breakfast!

Hi! I'm 5w, 3d today. Lately, it's been all about exhaustion. I get up and I feel like I'm already ready to go back to bed!! I little random nausea here and there too. I'm not sure that mine's tied to hunger. I'll just suddenly feel ill. It usually passes within 20 minutes or so. Boobs are still sore, yay.

Also, wow, my face. I have never had good skin but right now it's downright painful with all the breakouts.

I'm packing for a week long trip, leaving tomorrow (airplane). I'm stocked up with various anti-m/s cures. If I feel like I feel today, tomorrow, the flights will be just fine. Probably will just nap. I'm worried about the return trip in a week though. I guess I just have to take it as it comes!

@nodakiddo: Good luck! What a great way to pass the time during the never ending weeks of the first trimester. I keep looking for things to make myself busy hoping the days will go faster!

Whoa, I just realized it's the three of us on this thread! Are we the only June 2013-ers? Are people who are getting BFP's this week in June as well? I'm gonna have to do some counting... (English major here )

@nodakiddo where you headed? Is it for work or fun?

I guess it is just us so far, but I think there could still be a few more that would be due toward the end of the month.

Hi! Can I join??

Location: Canada
EDD: June 20
How far along: 3w 3d?
First child? Yes
First Dr. Appointment:
I just e-mailed a midwife group who has been highly recommended to me
How do you feel/symptoms?
I've been having a crampy/stretchy feeling in my lower abdomen and a backache. I've been tired and hungry and I've been having random hot flashes! I'm soo early though, I'm thinking the other symptoms won't start for a bit.
Who have you told? Only my bff! I took a test when my husband was at work, then he went to visit his family out of town for the weekend. I didn't want to tell him on the phone before he went away for the weekend... so he'll be finding out tomorrow!

I would love to do a Christmas surprise thing for my family and my husband's family, but I don't know if we'll be able to wait that long... I think I'll be 14-15 weeks.

Yea, another June mommy! Congratulations @qbbride!
Your due date is my birthday

It is hard to wait and keep it a secret. I think we will be able to start telling people in a couple weeks. We are visiting my husband's family out of town near the 25th and as long as everything goes well at my first doctors appointment we will tell our families at that time. It is so hard to see my Mom all the time and keep it from her!

@Knittylady - the main issue is that my SIL is due Nov 26 (first grandchild for my husband's parents) so I don't really want to announce too close to that... My FIL's birthday is Oct 29, but that's just waay too soon for me. Decisions, decisions....

My husband just got home from being away or the weekend and he was really excited! I gave him a daddy-to-be card with a digital pregnancy test that said 'pregnant 1-2' taped in it. He was surprised it happened so quickly (second cycle) but is happy!

Are you guys keeping up with exercise? I was going to the gym 3-4x a week until I got the BFP and haven't been since. I've been walking etc., but I want to get back to the gym soon...

how are you guys doing on that front?

@knittylady - I was training for a triathlon up until the time I conceived pretty much (I think I conceived the week before the triathlon) so needless to say my training has been ramped down a bit, but I still try to do something every day.

I run, bike, swim or go to CrossFit. Some days if I don't feel like getting outside I do a workout video, Jillian Michaels or something.

The biggest change I've noticed is that I have ZERO energy to workout in the mornings so I mostly workout in the afternoon now. I have also been trying not to push myself too hard and just take it easy.

I can send you some links to some of the videos I like if you want to check them out, sometimes it is easier if you don't have to leave the living room

@tlcbaby: I would love that! Thanks!

Yeah energy is a problem, and I want to make sure that what I was doing before is safe for pregnancy. Probably a shorter list would be what ISN'T safe. Hmm, I'll google....
