QOTW: I really admire Ben and Jen Affleck.  It seems like they put family before the celebrity lifestyle and they seem like the real deal.  So far Kate and William are impressing me, too.

I am 12 weeks! Getting so close to that end of first tri date.  I finally graduated from the OB yesterday and they gave me a parting gift-a little onesie with their logo on it and a tote also.  Last week I cut down on all my meds and I gave myself my last PIO shot Wednesday.  My levels still seemed good although my progesterone for the first time since using PIO was under 40 (30.9). They didn't express any concern though.  Estradiol was over 2000.

Hi, I'd like to join too! I have one little bean and my EDD is 4/11/14. I'm 7 weeks today. I saw the heartbeat yesterday, which was incredible. I return to my RE next week for another u/s, then we will talk about graduating to my OB.   

lin681

Hi!! I'd like to join! My EDD is 4/2/14.
Iam 8 weeks 2 days today.
I graduated from ob yesterday!!!

beautifuldreamer1234

11 weeks tomorrow. I'm on vacation out of the country and really feeling how much slower I need to take things. NT scan next Thursday!

daiseydooda

I don't really have a celebrity parent couple that I know of or like maybe Angelina Jolie and Brad.

Today I am 11 weeks and counting the days to my last pio. Tues I have my NT scan and first tri screening. I am super nervous and scared I hope all is well with the baby.

BrideJackie11

This is my last first tri check-in!  I am 13w2d.  I finished up PIO and delestrogen last week so no more shots.  We did the panorama and I got the results last night.  It's a girl!!!  We are shocked and super excited.  It feels more real now that we know the gender.  No spotting in a couple weeks.  I have been down graded from high risk to moderate risk due to the pituitary tumor.

QOTW: I don't really have a celebrity couple that I admire as parents.  I'll have to think more about it.  The Affleck's are a great pic.  Tori Spelling and her husband I kinda like.

Welcome to all the new ladies!

I had my first OB appt on Monday and it was fine.  I got to see the bean again and it's measuring right on track.  The US machine was not nearly as good as the one in my RE's office, but we did see it kicking around in there.  So cool!

AustinAg03

Hi ladies.  Well, I guess I can consider myself super lucky because I already got to quit taking my estrogen last week 8.5 weeks (super placenta?) and my terrible morning sickness all but disappeared!  It's been glorious!  I've also halfed my progesterone doses, so hopefully in the next week or two I'll be done with that too!  Of course, feeling so good makes me feel not pregnant and super nervous, but I'm trying to relax.  I really want to get a doppler but DH thinks it will just add to my crazy.  We are awaiting test results to find out the gender which is exciting.  NT scan is in 1.5 weeks.

QOTD: I agree with the Afflecks.  They just seem to put family before everything else.  Jennifer recently testified at a hearing against the paparazzi and it was hard to hear the sadness in her voice when talking about what they do to her kids.  Fame comes with at a high price, but they chose it, I guess. 

katka512

Ill be 12w on Sunday! I've been nauseous since 6 weeks but just started vomiting this week. I thought I was almost to the point of feeling better, so that's a bit disappointing. Had my first OB appt Tuesday and baby was moving around like crazy! Welcome to the new ladies!

sweett1998

Hello!  I'm about 6.5 weeks long with 2 lil monkeys in there!  We had our second ultrasound this week and I was able to see and hear the heartbeats.  Very cool!  I also was able to stop my PIO shots!!!  YAY!!  My level was 229.5.....so well over what they were wanting it to be.  I still haven't had much m/s.....more tired than anything.   My nurse said maybe I'm a lucky one and won't really get m/s......but...I'm still very early in the pregnancy.

Hey all. Had another run to the ER yesterday, because i was bleeding like a period. But they did u/s and b/w and everything else looks fine. I'm kind of at a loss why this is happening. I just want to relax but it seems there is always something to mar this.

qotd: I like the Afflecks, honestly. You never hear things in the media about their children or them, so I'm assuming they are just trying to raise their children like normal people.

megs3084

7 weeks today. I got to hear both heartbeats this week but we did find 2 small sch. I'm not bleeding but the ri is having me hold my lovenox for now and restricting my activity.

Rachnan

Would like to join. 1 LO EDD 4/11/14. Thanks!

BlueEyedDreamer

Hi, ladies! I can't believe this is my last first-tri check-in! I look forward to seeing you all in second-tri!

We had a big scare this week with heavy bleeding that turned out to be a SCH. The bleeding was pretty bad for a couple of days but is starting to lighten up. My next u/s is on Monday, and my OB thinks we should be able to find out the sex - we're so excited! I'm also hoping he'll tell us that the SCH is resolving... In the meantime, I'm just trying to take it easy and not worry too much.

QOTW: None!

Pr@yinforbe@n

Hey ladies! 8w1D here we had another u/s this week and we seen our little one moving its head! It was so cute! The RE said seeing fetal movement this early is a great sign and decreases miscarriage rate to <5%! Yay! 2 more weeks before I am released from RE and I called to set up my 1st appt with my obgyn and she isn't seeing patients right now!!! So that has me stressed of course bc I guess I am doctor shopping now
Still been luck as for MS. Just nausea every now and then but pretty severe constant constipation..ugh
Qotw I don't really have a celebrity couple but agree with the others about the Aflecks

zazu13

So, so, so excited to be posting here. I am 7 weeks and we saw two heartbeats at yesterday's ultrasound. I will have repeat ultrasounds for the next two weeks and taking daily lovenox injections and monthly intralipid infusions for a while.

I don't follow celebrities much so I'll pass on this week's question. My parents are celebrities to me and I think they did a pretty great job. If I'm going to look up to any parents it will be them.

ccollins06

I'd like to join! I am 6 weeks today with an EDD of 4/19. First ultrasound is Friday and we are SO FREAKING EXCITED!!

QOTW: I don't follow celebs too closely so I guess I will jump on the Ben & Jen bandwagon!

Balabusta

Hello all of you gorgeous ladies! Today I had my first pre-natal workup with a surprise ultrasound! Originally, they were not going to do an ultrasound, but since I had told the nurse I was so cautious since we've been trying for so long, she said to me, "Well, normally at 10 weeks we can hear baby on the doppler, but since you're 9w6d, lets see if we can get you in for an ultrasound instead!". I was so happy to see my little gummy bear on the big screen. Heart rate was 170, everything nice and smooth!

 

QOTW: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner look like very good parents!
