TTC #1 since 10/2012. BFP#1 11/28/12, MC, BFP #2 CP BFP #3 10/21/2013, EDD 7/3/2014 Beta #1 (4W6D): 1768 Beta #2 (5W1D): 5255 1st US at 6W4D HB of 112 BPM!
First time mommy too! I had a terrible scare early yesterday morning because I started bleeding with no pain. I went to the hospital and the bleeding stopped. After they confirmed my hcg levels were where they should be with a blood test they gave me an ultrasound because they thought it could be an etopic pregnancy. Turns out baby is snug as a bug in my uterus and I got to see the heart beat which is 160. Also they said I am RH+ which is great! During the ultrasound they saw a small tear in placenta because of the stretching of the uterus which was the reason for the quick bleeding. So yesterday was one of the scariest and happiest day of my life... this pregnancy stuff is such a rollercoaster ride. Congrats to all you new mommies :-)
Yes. I'm also a FTM. After the rollercoaster ride that is TTC, I thought that I wouldn't worry as much once I got KU. Boy was I wrong. Happy and Healthy 9 months to you all.
I am also a newbie go in for a US tomorrow bc of spotting and a little bleeding. Had blood drawn today to make sure levels are okay. Praying everything goes well! Really want to be excited but hesitant due to spotting. Either way, congrats to all of you!!!
I'm a ftm and am excited and nervous and scared. It's hard to know everything is going perfectly. My husband and I are so thrilled to be having this child! We have been trying for many months and I miscarry almost every time. This is the farthest I've made it so far. Prayers please!

I'm a FTM. Very nerve wracking but so exciting. I'll feel so much better after we tell our parents and I can tell a friend IRL. It's lonely not sharing!
