What is one great thing about a winter due date?

wintersong139

Weeks? 5--I am so excited to finally be out of the poppyseed club! I have been here since 3 week and a few days, so I was stuck on poppyseed for awhile. ;-)


How do you feel? Great! I am so excited that I am still pregnant, I don't mind any of the symptoms. It's a good feeling. :-)


What is one great thing about a winter due date? All the Christmas presents our LO is going to get before she/he is even born!

Weeks? EIGHT! Holy shit so exciting!


How do you feel? For the okay part I am 90% feeling great. I have some strong food aversion but seem to be loving carbs!!! I eat every few hours, if not I feel like garbage. But baby P is worth any symptom in the book!


What is one great thing about a winter due date?
Agree with the thought that for the first 3 months, I am really not going to want to be out and about exposing baby P to germs etc., and with feedings and sleeping we will pretty much be home bound anyway

Weeks?     5wks, 6days


How do you feel?  Lately I have been getting lots of headaches and the fatigue is slowly kicking in.  My boobs have grown two cup sizes already, but other than those things, I feel about 90% great.


What is one great thing about a winter due date?  well its close to my baby girls birthday, so I think her becoming a big sister is something to great

Weeks? I am 5 weeks along today.


How do you feel?  I feel fine physically.  Just a little tired, but I contribute that to not sleeping well at night and chasing around a 21-month old.  I also feel incredibly irritable.  Every little thing DD and DH does sets me off and I feel terrible about it.


What is one great thing about a winter due date? I am excited that this LO's birthday will be well spread out from DD's September birthday.  I am excited to not be in my 3rd trimester in the summer (that was brutal) and to be able to splurge on the holiday's and not have to worry about how I look in that sweater dress because I'll have my bump. I've never been a fan of the winter months, so this gives me something to really look forward to!

Good point! I have never been able to rock a sweater dress. Looks like this is my year to shine. :-)

Weeks? 7! I can't believe it!


How do you feel? The same. Having some nausea if I don't eat. My boobs are kind of sore and I'm tired all the time, but I think it's getting better. I'm starting to relax about the pregnancy, at least for this week.


What is one great thing about a winter due date? I'll have plenty of time to get skinny for summer I can hide inside w/ my babes until I'm ready. I won't be gigantic in August (good point!). I'll be able to enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas w/out worrying about calories. I love a winter due date!

Weeks? 5 weeks!

How do you feel? I wasn't doing that bad until yesterday and now my anxiety is actually terrible. My doctor had my go off my anxiety medicine cold turkey and when I told my OB-GYN at my appointment yesterday she was shocked because of withdrawal symptoms. A good friend is also a PhD and she was shocked and thinks I need to find a new psychiatrist who specializes in per-natal. I just feel like I'm about to cry at any moment. I'm so happy though to be pregnant, I would do anything to protect this little apple seed. 


What is one great thing about a winter due date? Not being crazy hot at the end of pregnancy, in the middle of summer.

Weeks: 5 (for real this time. I found a due date calculator that measures based on ovulation day and used that since I O'd on CD 20) How do you feel: Overall pretty good. Although I am tired a lot and waking up in the middle of the night with cramps is getting old. What us the one great thing about a winter due date: Not being big in the heat of the summer! I feel bad for my poor cousin who will be 8 months in August with our 98 temps and 200% humidity.

So we are now EDD twins? :-)

Weeks? 6 weeks, 1 day
How do you feel? Today I woke up with a headache, but I think it's from sinus pressure because I have a bit of a stuffy nose and DD had been fighting a runny nose over the weekend. Other than that, pregnancy wise, it's just my tender boobs that are most bothersome right now. No morning sickness yet...
What is one great thing about a winter due date? That it won't be miserably hot, last time I was due in August... fun times. Also, that I'll be pregnant during all the holidays and I think that'll be fun. I won't feel so guilty about eating all the goodies.

Weeks?  8 weeks - Raspberry baby!

How do you feel?  Tired!  Still have some nausea in the evenings but the medication I'm on has made it much more manageable.

What is one great thing about a winter due date?  Not being hugely pregnant during the triple digit temps that we get in August and September.  Plus having time to shed the baby weight before swimsuit season rolls around again.  And being able to take advantage of Black Friday/holiday season sales to buy baby stuff!

Weeks? EIGHT! A little itty bitty raspberry  


How do you feel? Mainly tired ... however, I have had a little more energy the last few days but I tend to crash in the afternoon. My boobs are slightly sore but not nearly as bad as they were a few weeks ago. Craving lots of carbs - mainly flaming hot cheetos. We will be camping this weekend and I will be buying myself a bag to indulge in over the weekend.  


What is one great thing about a winter due date? I am excited about being pregnant during the holidays! Even though I will be huge at Thanksgiving and Christmas I am glad that I'll get to spend some time with extended family before this baby comes. I'm also excited about getting to hole up in the house with this little one I like to just hang out at home - that's my sweet spot - it will be nice to have some good time together as a family.

Weeks? 7 weeks! Little blueberry in there! (Edited: I put the wrong number down.)

How do you feel? Miserable, actually. Nausea and food aversion have settled in, and I think it's triggering my anxiety. I'm trying to stay off-med, so the past few days have been a bit distressing. On the plus side though, I think my boobs have started getting a little bigger and my hubby seems to like it lol. Oh, and I'm excited that my first u/s is this afternoon!

What is one great thing about a winter due date? I definitely agree that it'll be great to not be unbearably hot in the last trimester. On a silly note, musicals are my thing, so I'm a little bit way too excited to sing songs from Frozen to my future little ice prince/princess. Hubby sang a bit of "Do you wanna build a snowman?" into my tummy the other day and the thought made me stupidly giddy.

Weeks? 7w5d

How do you feel? Okay, depending on the moment. Symptoms come and go - fatigue, sensitive nipples, light nausea and food aversions. I think moodiness has finally set in as of this morning. 

What is one great thing about a winter due date? I'm not a fan of winter at all (hello, we freeze our butts off in Minnesota!) so it will be good to have something positive to look forward to. It's also perfect timing because baby will be a little older - and hopefully easier - to take hiking or on weekend road trips once summer rolls around.
