Just wanted to share a couple of websites I found pretty cool.
prenology.com-- shows actual photos of fetuses at different stages, even this early and other cool resources
Oh and this is a pretty detailed calendar for your due date and gives you milestones etc (not sure why the link is so long.)

@simplyfelicity: whoa whoa whoa!!! COngrats! So happy for you lady!
-
@Tidybee: Thank you!
I am super stoked! Praying everything is still going well with you and your little fighter. 
-
I'm kind of wishing I had more symptoms.... everything seems pretty normal/explainable. I have been kinda tired but i don't know if that's the pregnancy or just... life. I'm peeing more but that also could be because i'm drinking more (Dr. Google told me to). No nausea or food aversions... I've been PingOAS every couple days since my BFP and still getting positives. Just wish there was a way to make me feel more confident!
-
@LaughLines: Step away from the pee sticks, lady! I know its so hard when you are worried but the only control you have over this is to enjoy it and have faith. As far as symptoms, you (and we) are all super early. Many women say they don't really feel pregnant until week 6 or 7. I'll bet your exhaustion has lots to do with being pregnant.
Today, you are pregnant. Not sure if statistics help you but missing your period is a major milestone. If I remember correctly, it takes your miscarriage risk from 30% to 10%. Obviously nothing is ever certain, but that is definitely in our favor.
Your pregnancy deserves faith and hope. I had to experience a very early loss in April (before AF) to fully realize that. Just take it a day at a time, that's all we can do.
-
@simplyfelicity: Thanks! Can't help but be a bit of a worry wart! I'll try to remind myself of your advice when I'm nervous
-
@LaughLines: I hear you, I'm worrying a lot too, but trying to think positively. I even took a test yesterday at 18DPO, just to see how dark the line is haha. I don't have any more tests though, so hopefully I'll stop with that obsession.
@simplyfelicity: that first site didn't work for me, it brought me to a coupon page, but the second link is cool! Thanks for sharing! -
@LAZB: Ooops! It's pregnology.com . Are your tests getting really dark?
-
@simplyfelicity: getting really dark, but probably the same as the control, not darker. I have an ultrasound this morning, not expecting to see anything, but hoping we do!
-
@LAZB: That's great! What dpo are you again? Please let us know how the appointment goes.
-
@simplyfelicity: I'm 19dpo now. I'm just in the waiting room now, I'll update when I'm done!
-
@LAZB:
!
-
It went great! Measuring right on, or maybe a day ahead. Here he or she is!
-
@LAZB: YAYYYYY! So happy it went well!
-
Location: Kansas!
EDD: apps say March 10th but dr/specialist both say they wont let me go past 36 weeks so sometime in February!
How far along: 4 weeks exactly today
First child? Nope, our first one was an angel who passed away at 22 weeks last April
First doctor appointment: July 23 for a sono and appt with my dr to lay out our plan of action, including with an MFM
Any symptoms so far? Seriously sore boobs - it was what made me think of even testing. Nausea most of today and standing in the front yard today after dinner trying not to vomit.
Who have you told? My UU (unicornuate uterus) support group, my hubby and my boss since I will have to have some one cover dor me!

@LAZB: Of course!

Anyone feeling crazy bloated and like they need to take two naps each day?
-
@simplyfelicity: YES! The bloat seems to come and go, but the exhaustion just stays. I end up napping on the sofa for 2 hours every night before DH is ready to go to bed for the last 2 weeks. And today I'm feeling extra bloated and sore, like I did a ton of crunches.
How's everyone else doing so far? New preggy symptoms showing up? When are your first prenatal appointments? I just made mine yesterday for July 23rd (7w4d). Super excited, though I'm not completely sure what to expect!
-
@ksommer: thanks! I love seeing my fellow Feb 2014 mamas over here
@simplyfelicity: I'm a little bloated, but most of my belly is left over from my last pregnancy. I definitely am sleepy though! That was my biggest symptom last time too.
@drjolene: I go for my next appointment on July 18, and I'll be 7w2d. I'm excited about that one because we should be able o see the heartbeat! -
@drjolene: I called to make an appointment and they said they don't have the midwives schedule out yet for that far in advance and I need to call back in a couple weeks. Seems weird. They said they don't like to do first appointments until 10 weeks.
Considering going to a different OB but this is the only midwife center with OBs around...
Really no symptoms that an irritated stomach after eating, being sleepy and bloated. I read somewhere that the bloat often goes away with morning sickness...yay! -
@LAZB: yay, glad your appointment went well!
@simplyfelicity: I feel like the bloat has started to subside a bit. Super tired, but if I nap then I feel like i sleep like crap all night, so I have been draggin thru the day. My tummy hates me after I eat! It tend to be better if I eat a lot of protein though.
@drjolene: Had my first appointment today, just paperwork and stuff. Next appointment is a dating ultrasound July 23 they estimate my due date to be Feb 22 but I know its March since I was using OPKsNot too happy my OB office has a new midwife, my next appointment is with her. I have to see her atleast once, and then I can tell them my prefernce of who I want to schedlue with. I love the 2 OB Drs and their NP and I really dont want anyone else, but we shall see how it goes. I know they were spread thin during my 1st pregnancy so I guess they needed to expand.
Only other issue I have is I hate the feeling of my pant waistband on my tummy already. I think it is more in my head, but it just makes me feel sick. So unless I am at work, its comfy clothes for me
ETA I also got my orders for the lab work
Since I am overweight to begin with I have to do the gestational diabetes test now as well as later. They are also doing a pregnancy test "with sensitivity", I feel like I should wait until 6 weeks to go since it would show I am not as pregnant as they think I should be...thoughts?
-
@pinkb: Are you experiencing morning sickness already?
-
@simplyfelicity: Not full on, but I am definitely nauseous at different times of the day. And at the Dr office today they showed the hot dog eating contest, and I about puked! lol
-
I'm sitting in the Frankfurt airport, and either I'm imagining things, my exhaustion is messing with me, or I finally started having symptoms. I'm soooo tired, dizzy, and pretty sure my boobs grew on the flight over here lol. Fortunately we are in the business class lounge so I have a seat/lounge thing I can relax on until our next flight.
-
Alright, I'm joining! I've been a bit nervous but I look forward to the conversation. Got the BFP 6/27.
EDD: 3/10/15
How far along: 4w1d
First child? Yep!
First doctor appointment: I called yesterday and have my intake on 7/29.
Any symptoms so far? Some abdominal things. A pinchy/pully sensation on Saturday that was annoying. But otherwise I feel pretty normal.
Who have you told? DH obviously - I told him via text message with pictures of pee sticks. I just couldn't wait until he got home! Other than Bees, my PCP and my endocrinologist only.
-
@sapphire: congratulations and welcome!
-
@sapphire: Yay! You are here.
I hope you feel better since you've officially "missed" AF.

does anyone have seriously awful nausea/morning sickness yet? I'm only 4 weeks and I cannot even think about food without feeling nauseous!
@sapphire: we are due date twins! congratulations!
-
@simplyfelicity: yes, I really needed to miss AF to feel safer. I peed on the last HPT I had this morning and it is so, so dark now. I've run out of sticks so now just waiting for my first appt at the end of the month.
@nicollette1189: yay for twins! No morning sickness here yet.
-
@nicollette1189: Sorry you are already feeling sick.
@LAZB: Yay for business class. I am so not looking forward to my 5 hour flight at the end of the month...in coach.I also wanted to share the best pregnancy app. It was on a thread @sapphire: started. The app is called Ovia. I have tried nearly everyone and felt like they were way basic and lackluster and this one is freaking awesome.
-
I'm cautiosly joining the board...just got my
this morning.EDD: 3/17/15
How far along: 3.5 weeks
First child? No. DS is 20 months.First doctor appointment: First appointment will be 8/6.

@simplyfelicity, @ninja, @nicollette1189, @nicollette1189, @beachmama, @LaughLines: WooHoo more March Mamas!! Congrats ladies!!
@jaguar: so glad that everything is still going up! I hope the trend continues.
@simplyfelicity: Thanks for starting the list! Oh and I downloaded that app - i'm really liking it! I synced it up to my fitbit to keep me motivated. I'm trying not to gain alot this time around.
@LAZB: So glad the u/s went well! That's a nice lil bean in there!
@drjolene: I feel like all my symptoms disappeared on Monday which is freaking me out but I'm trying not to stress too much. I was nauseous last week and so bloated and gassy all weekend and then nothing. Not that I want to be sick but like @LaughLines said it lets you know that something is going on.
I have my first appt scheduled for July 22nd which seems like FOREVER away. With my son I was spotting so I had a beta and an early u/s. Now I just have to wait it out with no extra information. I did buy a box of those ClearBlue weeks estimator tests just for some reassurance that things are progressing. (I know they're unreliable but I'm crazy) And other than a horrible head cold and some minor pinchy feelings and fullness I feel like myself.
Anyone have plans for the 4th??
I am super stoked! Praying everything is still going well with you and your little fighter. 
Considering going to a different OB but this is the only midwife center with OBs around...

this morning.
