Preg Symptoms: extremely sore boobs, morning sickness for the first time last night. Tiredness is starting to increase. Any kind of meat does not seem appetizing at all. And definite indigestion.
Where are you from? A tiny town in south west Virginia - right above the North Carolina border.... Stuart, VA - I bet noone has heard of it?!!?
EDD? April 7
How long have you been trying? I went off the pill several months ago... we were using other methods. We planned on trying after we move (next month), but we decided one night NOT to use other methods.... 2 weeks later, here we were.
Estimated due date? April 2, 2014 So I am partaking in March and April bump groups
How long have you been trying for? Well I went off of birth control before DH and I got married last August so that I could "Feel like myself again". We weren't trying, but weren't preventing really. I started tracking things on FF back in May so that we could start trying in August/September. We got our BFP on July 21st. So we skipped the ovulation strips, actively trying lol. We're extremely lucky for this blessing!
Preg Symptoms I've been feeling sick in the mornings, usually throw up once. Very tired. Hungry, I've been eating small meals or things every 2 hours. So about 6 small meals a day. I can't wait to get to know you ladies!!!
Wife & Full Time Step Mama to an incredible boy! First Date.. March 11, 2010 Engaged...August 09, 2011 Married...August 11, 2012BFP...July 21, 2013 E.D.D... March 31, 2014
How long have you been trying: off BC for a few months but avoiding the O window.. We were going to start trying in August so a surprise by a month but we are ready
Symptoms: tired, some light nauseous, super sniffer power (sense of smell) and metallic taste like woah (drinking water with citrus in it like crazy to cut it)
How long have you been trying for? BFP on 1st month off Nuvaring!
Preg Symptoms Not too much now. First couple of weeks was major bloating light cramping & nipple soreness. All that seems to have gone mostly away. Feeling tired now and get very little waves of nausea (probably like a 2 on a scale of 1-10). I am one of those people that don't really 'feel pregnant' though I am not exactly sure what pregnanat is supposed to feel like besides all the common symptoms I read about or what they show in the movies!! First appt & u/s next Wed and hopefully I will actually feel pregnant once I (God willing) know all is healthy.
BFP: 12/3/15 EDD: 8/11/16 IT'S A BOY!!! MAXIMUS POWERS 8♥5♥16
I am from kingston ont My EDD is April 16 2014 And I only have sore boobs and am really emotional and tired. And we weren't really trying it just happened but I couldn't be happier
Pregnancy Symptoms: LARGE and sore breasts. Husband won't leave them alone. Other than that, not too many until today. Horrible nausea hit me this morning and I'm still recovering. Anyone else experiencing morning sickness yet and/or how do you deal??!!

I've found citrusy anything helps. Try lemonade or lemon ice pops maybe?
Where are you from: Grew up in Mesa, AZ now live in Davenport, IA
EDD: April 20
How long have you been trying: started trying in Sept 2012, pregnant in April 2013 with a miscarriage in May 2013, and now pregnant again! We're very grateful it didn't take us as long to get pregnant this time.
Symptoms: Hungry all the time but nothing sounds good except Taco Salad, Navajo Tacos, and Bean Dip, sore nipples, bloating
How long have you been trying for? my husband and I were planning on waiting til next yr to TTC, however went on vacation to Mexico in July & a few weeks later got BFP
My name is Lauren, I am from Dayton OH. Took us 3 months to get that BFP and we are due around April 17th. I haven't had too many symptoms, other than being exhausted and going to bed at 930. Had some cramping in the first week that has subsided now and a little indigestion. NO morning sickness yet!
@sugar rush I am more than ok with you running this board! I am very excited someone took on the challenge. I work full time so I don't know if I would have the time to run it well. Thank you!
Ladies, I'm glad to meet you all. Right now I'm trying so hard not to burst into tears. On another post I was accused (falsely) of being nasty to women with losses in their past. I'm pretty much devastated right now because I would never never do this - I may not have suffered a loss but my road has not been an easy one. I am not that sort of person and the ganging up on people is making me feel like there is really no reason for me to stay on this forum. Its causing me to much pain. This may not be the proper post for this but I'd I started a new thread I know i would get jumped on for something - who knows what. I think I have to say goodbye, already.
@sugar rush if we continue to have posts for our group I recommend we call it FTP (first time pregnancy) and not FTM as we learned in the other thread that is a broader term and we don't want to offend anyone if we are wanting to hear mostly first pregnancy responses and questions with no judgement.
Don't leave! Just chalk it up to a misunderstanding. That thread did turn rather ugly and I think emotions are just running high. In the end, I don't think anyone is wishing ill upon anyone else and im sure its hard to get a gauge tones through the internet. Please stay and participate, we are all going through such an exciting time!

Thank you sugar rush. Maybe it's my emotions running wild but people (not here on this post) have been so hateful and horrible that it's starting to really effect me emotionally and I don't think it's good for baby I just never thought these women would be so horrible and mean. I need to take a break. Maybe I'll see you all in a month or so when I'm not so devastated by the cruelness of strangers
How long have you been trying for? First time was a charm!
Preg Symptoms: I guess I never realized how essential poop is to our well being... I eat prunes like its my job and had the hubs install a more comfy toilet seat. (Tmi?) I guess this is life right now! I keep telling myself its better than constantly vomiting. But really, I just want to poo.
I hope you come back! I am hoping things will get better once hormones have leveled out. There are some cruel people on here but there are also tons of nice and helpful ones!
So many of you are getting in to the dr. Before I am! I am jealous! My dr will not see me until after 8 weeks, i will be almost 9 when I go to my first appt. To those of you who have already gone, how did it go? What do they do?
Hey!! What a great board!!! Where are you from? New Hampshire Estimated due date: April 16th I do t go to my first appointment until sept 20th though!!! So far away!!!!!!! How long have you been trying: ditched the pill at the end of June and here I am...feeling blessed Symptoms: mild cramping, feeling tired today, but it was my first day back (I'm a teacher), and some gas...otherwise I feel great and trying not to worry!!!!
Oh and to @Bthlgh this app has a great feature that some of the others don't its the ability to ignore a certain person and not have to read their comments! I have ignored a couple people that I have been able to tell we obviously will not agree on anything and not to even bother reading their opinions. Don't leave just take control and do your own thing.

When I had my positive HPT, I called the doctors office the next day to see what I had to do. They scheduled me an appointment the next day to come in to meet with the nurse practitioner for some basic info and do an HCg test. The staff at my docs office was so cute and congratulatory, it made me totally giddy! My numbers came back a day later at 309, so they wanted me to come back for a re-test, which I did a couple days later where my results were 2,709 so they (and I) were super pleased!
At that point we thought I was 6 weeks, so we scheduled my first OB appt for 8 weeks which included first ultrasound to get more accurate due date and informational session and general check up. So I went in for my ultrasound and it turns out that only THEN was I 6 weeks, but the little peanut was in there (and quite visible) and I saw the heartbeat. We about lost it crying!
I did my OB intro visit last week where we got all the necessary info for genetic testing, cord blood banking, etc. and then they did a blood draw to run a full pre-natal panel and all came back good. So far, so good. Im praying constantly for happy and healthy pregnancy!
Whew, sorry this got long! So much to say that I haven't been telling others yet!!!
Thank Sugar Rush, I'm glad it was so long! Since I haven't had an appointment yet it's really nice to hear what others have been like. Everyone is different but it helps subside the nerves. I am so happy yours went so well.
@sugarrush thanks for all the info! I wish I could go and find out what my levels are and be sure I know how far along I am! PS I think you are my first Bump friend!
