FTM - Checkin!

hfooter

I figured we should make one for us!

How are you feeling?

What is the one thing you are most excited for?

hfooter

How are you feeling? Fine other than like my boobs are gonna explode. I'm already a bigger breasted girl so the fact that they are growing and will continue to go is really frustrating!

What is the one thing you are most excited for? To find out the sex and to be able to start buying gender specific items!

I'm totally getting sick of eating. I have pretty constant nausea and eating every two hours helps to keep it kinda manageable. Breasts are super sore. Cramping takes my breath away sometimes.

This week the thing I'm most excited for is telling my family the news. I have my first appointment tomorrow so I can see how things are going before telling them. I'm nervous though that my sister won't show as much excitement as I'm hoping for. It's the first grandbaby for both sides.

Turn4Cindy

How are you feeling?
I'm feeling ok. Occasional cramping and occasional nausea. Both manageable. Boobies are in pain. My throat is sore, so I'm coming down with something. I'd say that's the worst part. I'm happy to be pregnant despite symptoms!

What is the one thing you are most excited for?
For now, it's my first U/S on Friday! I'll be 7 wks that day and I hope to hear a heartbeat!

Soupy84

How are you feeling? I am too tired to do anything productive. M/S is the worst I have encountered so far in this pregnancy & my last (ended in m/c). BBs are very sore and I needed to buy a new bra because they have already grown into the next cup size.

What is the one thing you are most excited for? Spilling the beans to my family. After our loss, I couldnt bring myself to tell my family until after we pass our first trimester. Anxiously waiting to tell my parents that their first grand-baby is indeed on his way!

Thanks for starting this! 

Nausea is really starting to kick in and I hate it. I have to force myself to eat every hour or two and it's getting harder and harder to find anything that sounds good. I woke up every hour last night (not on purpose) bc I was worried that if I didn't eat throughout the night I'd be really sick in the morning. It helped a little, but I lost a lot of sleep.

Right now I'm most looking forward to our first ultrasound next Tuesday. I'll be 7w3d and I'm really hoping to hear a heartbeat and get confirmation that everything's ok.

 How are you feeling? 

I'm feeling pretty good on and off. I just got over a cold which made my nausea seem worse. I hate hoe I got from not hungry to starving in a matter of seconds.  It is hard to eat when you are trying to teach as well. I'm also exhausted all day. Even with going to bed super early I still could take naps during the day if I could. 

 What is the one thing you are most excited for?

In 2 weeks I have my first ultrasound. I can't wait to get to see my little peanut!

Kate070

Not feeling too bad, beyond exhaustion and moodiness.

I'm most excited for my first ultrasound (they're making me wait til 10 weeks!), making it public, and finding out the sex.

JAM85

I am high risk due to Lupus so I am pretty much nervous everyday. I have fairly consistent low grade nausea that occasionally perks up worse, sore and swollen boobs, heart palpitations (no one really mentioned that symptom before but apparently quite a number of women get it) and occasional cramp or ache. I am 6 weeks today and have my first u/a with a perinatalogist since I am high risk and I am very nervous to see how things are going and hope they are good!

alphalyrae

This week has been rough in my opinion. I've been struggling to keep my symptoms in check, especially at work. My temper is flaring, and DH usually gets the bulk of it. I was furious that he turned the light on next to the bed last night and then went upstairs to use the bathroom. I actually didn't say anything because I understood that it was a silly reason to be annoyed. DH loves my boobs right now. Sadly for him, he can't touch them. I will kick him in the balls. We ordered a doppler last night for peace of mind since we are still 4 weeks out from out next appointment, and then after that, it's a good 8 weeks until the anatomy scan. I'm excited for it to arrive and try out at 9 or 10 weeks.

sparklingdiamond

I am not feeling too bad actually.  Mostly just really tired all the time.  I rarely feel nauseous, but at night, food just does not sound good and I have to make myself eat something.  Other than that, I don't have too many symptoms at all.

Right now, I am really looking forward to the first appt on Monday!  I feel like it'll never get here and I just want to see a heartbeat and know the baby is okay!

Magheeta

I'm feeling better this week than I did last. My boobs are really sore/sensitive this week, and I'm still tired. I've definitely notice I'm much moodier in the evenings, and I'm thankful DH is understanding.

I'm looking forward to telling most of our family. Definitely nervous about telling my mom, but she will have to come to grips with the fact that I'm an adult sooner than later. It's been an ongoing struggle since I moved out almost 10 years ago!

gutsysneakers

How are you feeling? Feeling pretty good - pretty exhausted and boobs (especially the nips are killing me). Nausea comes in around 10am and stays for a few hours. No puking yet I just wish I had more energy. 

What is the one thing you are most excited for? In six days, I have my first appointment and hopefully will get to see Squishy.

Meg&Austin

How are you feeling? Not too bad. Lightheaded a lot, have felt a lot of pressure I guess you could say in my belly. Def feeling fat and this acne which I have never had to deal with, which I'm sure makes it worse, is making me never want to leave the house.

What is the one thing you are most excited for? Telling the rest of the family. Will be 9 weeks on Friday so getting close at least although after being here and seeing such late losses not sure why I don't just tell now sincre really anything can happen anytime.

BBer4

How are you feeling? The nausea is starting, still mild but not fun. My fingers are crossed that it won't get any worse. I am exhausted all the time, ready for a nap already and I am now always bloated rather than just bloated in the evenings.

What is the one thing you are most excited for? I can't wait until I am actually showing. It seems so weird that something so huge is happening in my life and no one else can tell that anything is going on. I'm also looking forward to leaving 1st tri!

ErikaLynn75

How I'm feeling: Tired. And I have cramps mostly at night. Other than that, I think I've gotten off easy as far as symptoms go. Of course I'm not quite 6 weeks yet, so it may be just around the corner. 

What I'm excited for: Telling our families (at Thanksgiving) and shopping for the baby. Also decorating the nursery. 

Jessy336

I'm feeling ok - boobs sooooo sore! They haven't grown noticeably yet (thank god! Already a 38 D!!). Some cramps, and a little gaggy first thing in the AM(although seems to be better this week than last).

DH & I can't wait to tell our families. We had our first U/S yesterday and I'm a week earlier than we had thought (only about 5 weeks instead of 6). I go back to the dr tomorrow for a follow up (and prob more blood work) so we'll see what happens. I want to see what the dr says before talking to our parents.

CallMeMrsChaos

How are you feeling? I feel great. Just a bit tired all the time. I still do not have any nausea, but I am only 6 weeks as of tomorrow. I just fear its lurking on the horizon, although i am keeping my fingers crossed that I am one of the "lucky ones".

What is the one thing you are most excited for? I too can't wait until I am showing. I want it to be more obvious to everyone and not just DH and I. Also I am looking forward to my ultrasound, which is still a million miles away. I just want to know that everything is okay, but its not scheduled til the 10th week. I am so very jealous of all you ladies who get them much earlier.

nightmare_of_beauty

Feeling? Not good at all. Woke up early for the first time to go to the bathroom and basically laid it bed till my alarm went off. Ug! Now I'm at working dealing with being tired and cramps. I've had the cramp since before finding out I was pr. And my boobs hurt like heck last night! I'm ready for this part to be over! 

Excited? Going shopping with my mom for the baby! I really don't want a shower, so instead of a shower, my mom is taking me shopping for baby things closer to time. I can't wait! 

TheLordsCanary

I'm feeling ok so far, no real morning sickness yet (thank goodness!). I just get tired really easily and I have the sore boob thing going on, and a little bit of cramping. Nothing major

I think the thing I'm most excited about is when it actually starts to show. It will be such a new experience!

talkthewholetime

I' m feeling OK so far! Tired, sore boobs and my skin looks like shit, but over all really good.

I'm excited to see the heart beat in 2 weeks, so I can stop being so nervous! We had our first appointment yesterday, and the doctor took a peek with the U/S...we could see the sac and she thought she could see the fetal pole, but it was too early to see anything good! (She warned me 230948234 times, and made me promise I wouldn't freak when we couldn't see anything, so I feel pretty good)

kristine526

I'm feeling pretty good. Sore boobs. My exhaustion and nausea kick in late afternoon/evening, but even that is manageable.

Today I'm most excited that my mom got a 30% off coupon for Kohls and that Kohls cash starts this weekend. HELLLLOOOO maternity clothes! I'm also counting down the days until our next appointment (2w6d) so we can hear the heartbeat. (I'll be 11w5d) OH, and I'm excited that I'll be 9 weeks tomorrow!

kramja01

*Sigh* I'm late to the party, as usual.

How are you feeling? Bad back cramps the last two days

What is the one thing you are most excited for? I'm excited/scared shitless for my viability ultrasound tomorrow.

julesf817

Feeling pretty good, though yesterday i started feeling some mild nausea in the morning and it's continued this morning. Eating regularly seems to help. But I'm also finding that not a whole lot sounds appetizing, and the thought of going to the grocery store and making dinner is not at all appealing. Pretty tired, partly because i keep waking up to pee in the middle of the night. no matter how early i go to bed that alarm is going off too early. was snappy with DH this morning for asking me a simple question. Not used to having him there while i get ready (he's off this week) and with that and feeling nauseous i had no patience.

Most excited for? Finally showing. right now i just feel blah because my clothes are getting tight. i want a bump so everyone knows what's going on! and meeting baby for the first time.

ksgirl0604

How are you feeling?  6 weeks is a b!tch!!  Zofran is making me feel like a human but the side effects are awful.  I second the person that said their bbs are going to explode.  mine are out of control.  i can't wait for 2nd tri already!

What is the one thing you are most excited for?  2nd tri.  sonogram on monday and seeing (fingers crossed) a heartbeat for the first time.  finding out the gender!  but right now it's fun to hear everyone's guesses.

JessRubinkowski

Yay for a FTM check in!

How are you feeling? Down in the dumps, my first appointment isn't until Oct. 24th and that's just for family history and bloodwork. I'll be nine weeks along by then and that seems like a really long time to wait for a first appointment. My boobs have already grown an extra inch and I already had huge boobs to start with. Other than that and fatigue, I have no other symptoms which is pretty nice. I feel terrible for everyone going through m/s.

What are you most excited for? Getting to hear the heartbeat for the first time with DH!

laura3462

I am soo nauseated, throw up 1-2x/day. Trying the SeaBands, ginger, eating every 2 hrs, food one hour, liquids the next hour. Nothing seems to help. Tired as can be since my 3yrold is up at night. 

Excited for 1st tri to be finished maybe I will feel better.

blkswn

I'm always exhausted. Nausea is a daily thing now and boobs are sore!

I'm really excited about first appointment and finally announcing to my fam! (And I'm secretly excited about bigger boobs. I'd gladly give up my IBTC membership card lol)

deeandsteve

I have up and down days.  Some days I feel refreshed and great and other days like I just want to puke my brains out!

I'm excited to find out the sex.  I've already been to my first appt. and baby is doing really well!

yvanehtnioj

I'm feeling pretty darn good! I've been in a great mood. Lack of appetite, extra trips to the bathroom, sore/full boobs & needing to go to bed early are my symptoms so far.

I'm really excited for my first appointment. I'll be 7w6d and I'm really hoping to see a gummi bear in there I think it will also sink in that there's really something in there.

Titanstar

I've been feeling really good. Boobs are sore & I have difficultly sleeping. But hardly any morning sickness.

I've had an ultrasound & have seen the baby & it's heart beating. It's doing very well!! Excited about my 12 week visit next month where I get to hear the heartbeat!!

andoll8

How are you feeling? amazing (finally). i seem to have passed over the hump as far as MS and nausea are concerned. I'm eating normally, and constipation is under control.

What is the one thing you are most excited for? i'm ready to tell our families: it's so hard waiting...AARRGGHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MMason12

How am I feeling: My breast are insanely tender and sore. And holy crap I don't think my nipples can get any bigger than what they have.  I also have days where all I want to do is sleep all day. I swear just finding the energy to shower is hard let alone dragging my butt all the way into work.  Good thing I get to work from home two days a week if I choose to. 

What am I looking forward to: Our second ultrasound tomorrow. I am hoping we finally get to see our little bean along with a heartbeat.  But at 6w2d it is still a little early to where we have to be seeing the heartbeat. 

mileswithmyles

How are you feeling? Nauseous, sore boobs, but pretty good other than that.

What is the one thing you are most excited for?Making it past the first trimester.  After my loss last time, I am so anxious.

husker10

hfooter Thanks for starting this

How are you feeling? Meh, ok.  Some cramping and my poor boobs hurt.  But overall, good.

What is the one thing you are most excited for? To make it past 13 weeks, fx.  Then I'll really let myself get excited.

Yay, another Corgi person! I cracked up when I found this, because it reminds me of my Corgi.

AmandaShaley

How I am feeling: my sports bra has been keeping my Boobs from feeling sore all day, though when I take it off its pretty painful for about 10 minutes (and if course I notice the soreness through the rest of the night). I've been waking up ever morning at 4 no matter what time I go to sleep in order to use the bathroom and eat something. I'm wide awake and refreshed, but when I wake up 2 hours later with my alarm, I feel zombie like.

What I'm excited for: the first u/s on the 9th! And our family gathering mid November (before Thanksgiving), which will be the perfect time for an announcement...

Arinias

kramja01 GL at your u/s tomorrow!! FX for you!
hfooter Thanks for setting this up!

How are you feeling?  Been alright, boobs are sore and seem ginormous, nausea has started creeping in, but it is still manageable. I have a hard time eating at night, I never want food. All this burping is driving me crazy.

What is the one thing you are most excited for?  My first u/s, which is Tuesday. I am going to be bouncing off the walls at work until then. Also really looking forward to telling our families in November.
