Re: First Time Preg (FTP) Weekly Check in!
We TTC for right at two years and were going through infertility treatments.
My boobs are ginormous and aching. I can't get enough to eat. I feel like I'm eating every two hours. My stomach is upset but nothing that's making me sick yet. Cramps are intermittent and nothing too painful. I took a two hour nap yesterday and that hasn't happened in a very long time.

How long have you been trying for? Got off BC in March 2013 but was still preventing until June. Was going to try in June but then we went on a family vacation during FW! So we tried in July and was fortunate to get KU the first try! I've been charting and on TTC board since June though.
Preg Symptoms: I'm 5w4d and I'm experienced:: bloating, breast tenderness, nausea, crazy sense of smell, constipation, headaches, fatigue, cramping, heartburn, and a weird taste in my mouth. Luckily, all have been manageable though!
Every symptom in the book but the nausea is horrendous, I can barely get out of bed. Anyone else this bad?
Bedsides insane nausea, we are very excited!
We weren't really trying, just kind "whatever happens happens" and it happened right away--we were married June 28 so it happened within a couple weeks of that! I was on the pill but my perscription ran out so while I waited to get into the doctor we didn't worry about protection...and now we have a little one coming!
As of right now, I'm not feeling many symptoms. I'm kind of scared about that because I did have really sore boobs and mild pelvic cramping for weeks and now it's kind of gone. I'm still a little more gassy than usual, but other than that and the hunger not much is happening.
I have a doctors appointment today to go over some bloodwork for PCOS so I'm going to bring it up at the appointment and hopefully get some confirmation that the little one is alright in there.
Started dating February 6, 2012
Estimated due date? April 9, 2014
How long have you been trying for? Went off BC June 30th and got pregnant immediately.
Preg Symptoms: nausea comes and goes throughout the day, mild cramping, sore boobs, frequent trips to the bathroom, and some days where I'm beyond exhausted.
**If any of you are suffering morning sickness or nausea, I went to babies r us and bought Preggie Pop Drops and they have been helpful. They are little hard candies that help reduce the nausea feeling. They are a little sour but tasty!**
Where are you from? St. Paul, Minnesota
Estimated due date? April 23, 2014- but I have an appointment on 8/29, so hopefully I'll get a more accurate date.
How long have you been trying for? We got married in October, 2012 and have been trying ever since...so 9 or 10 months.
Preg Symptoms: holy sore boobs! That's my main symptom, although I feel as though it's lessened in the last day or so, either that or I'm just getting used to it. Not really anything else, kind of just waiting for MS to kick in. I may regret saying so now, but I'm looking forward to MS and more symptoms, to solidify the idea of me being pregnant and this not all being just a dream. It doesn't seem real yet, and I'm really scared that it all may be taken away from me too soon.
EDD: April 12
My husband and I were trying but not trying for about 3 months. This positive really surprised me, but made me sooo happy!
Symptoms: extreme tiredness, sore nipples are dying down, boobs a little sore, had minor cramping, diarrhea, bouts of nausea but never harsh, weight loss which is weird. Oh and lots of cm
Best wishes for all of us here
EDD: 4/1
How long have you been trying for?: I say almost a year, but due to health problems my dr. Says 6 months
Pregnancy symptoms: everything! M/s exhausted, sore boobs, peeing a ton, throwing up whenever I eat a real meal. The only thing I don't think I have is moodiness. My friend turns things blue when she's pregnant so I guess I don't have that one either.
EDD: April 20
TTC: well I have a hormone imbalance that prevents me from using birth control pills so since getting married November 2011 DH and I have just been using the rhythm method. I thought maybe something was wrong in July when we went 6 months without even using protection and didnt get pregnant... I went to a GYN to get checked and during the exam he said it looks like you might be pregnant! Tests later confirmed.
Symptoms: SO TIRED... I can nap during the day... I have never EVER been a nap person. Also my boobs are growing and tender. No morning sickness yet although my toothbrush came dangerously close to the back of my mouth and I could feel there would have been consequences had it gone any further. I've been eating lots of fruit and I feel pretty great about that. Also my skin is clearing up!!! I've had adult acne for over 2 years and it seems to be going away!
Where are you from? Iowa
Estimated due date? April 15

Estimated due date? 04.09.14
How long have you been trying for? 5 months
Symptoms: Oy, I think I have ALL the symptoms! Most annoying would be bloating (I'm talking painful gas that I can't get seem to rid of and pants that don't fit over the bulging belly - not easy to hide when most of my clothes don't fit!), nausea, sore boobs, and acne. Very much looking forward to 2nd trimester!
I am originally from New Jersey but currently reside in Japan.
Estimated due date: April 27th, 2014
How long have you been trying?
On and off for about 8 months. I took about 3 to 4 months off throughout the 8 months as I'd get discouraged.
Symptoms: definitely gas, bloating, sore boobs and nips (tmi), dry itchy throat almost like that feeling you get before you come down with a sore throat, slight cramping on and off, and in the beginning I had dry patches on my skin that would pop up bit they have just about completely cleared up now. Oh and did I mention bloating? Haha
Estimated due date? April 25, 2014
How long have you been trying for? We have been "not trying, but open to it" for about 18 months. This was a total surprise as we just closed on a new house a week and a half ago!

How's everyone doin, btw?
Whats the plans this weekend??
How are you?
Eh, im feeling a little down today. Ive been dealing with symptoms since week 4 (on week 8 now) and im getting to a breaking point. I should feel lucky and blessed for the symptoms, but living like this every day is making me miserable. My darling SO is taking me out to dinner and we are going to have our first viewing of the goodies to be had at babies r us, and then im going home for sleepy time. Im cranky. I need it.

I know how you feel on the symptoms front. But I hear Babies R Us for the first time is so much fun, you'll have a blast! (I actually refuse to go until I need a pick me up so that's a great idea!) And why not go to bed early? You won't be able to soon!
Hope the weekend brings you a little relief!

Preg Symptoms: You name it & I have it..especially rough "all day sickness" (morning, my butt!), exhaustion, gas, & tender boobs...had the constipation, but constantly drinking something has helped.
Congrats & good luck all!
My EDD is April 7 and honestly I was not TTC (hope this doesn't upset/offend anyone)
I've experienced a wealth of symptoms. Larger breasts, super crazy hunger, nausea and not being able to eat the way I normally do. I haven't been throwing up my guts which I am happy for and I certainly hope it stays that way. I have been kinda constipated and all I enjoy eating is soup..... Oh yea I'm ALWAYS tired.
