I see there hasn't been much activity on here recently and was hoping there were some newly pregnant metro Detroit ladies out there!!!!

I'm only about 4 weeks, hubby & I just found out & still in a little shock. Mainly just some stomach cramping, hoping that's normal? :-/

    Congratulations!! And some cramping is normal (kindof feels like menstrual cramps). If you have any bleeding contact your doctor immediately. I had some pretty painful cramping from about 5-9 weeks. Drink some extra fluids, that can help settle them a bit. I'm due in January and still only *just* getting used to the idea. Lots to do!!

    Ok thanks! One night was pretty bad cramping but not much since, no blood. I feel like since I don't have many symptoms it might not be true. I peed on another stick last night just to be sure!

    We haven't told anyone yet & I'm dying to. When did you tell your close family & friends?

    Congrats to you too!

    Yeah definitely! I have my first apt July 16th and ultra sound Aug 4th, wish it was sooner just because I'm anxious!

    Hi Ladies, I'm just popping in here, optimistically. I'm also due in March with baby #1.
    @nedry2ad I also am having very concerning period-like cramps! They scare me because I never had them with any of my previous (failed) pregnancies.
    We also have not told anyone, and won't until I show, due to our extreme history of loss.
    I hope this is the one! :)

    Congrats! I'm due in March too with baby #5. Cramping is normal as long as it's not too severe and you're not bleeding. Although keep in mind a little bit of spotting is also normal... :)

    Congratulations to everyone!! I'm fairly local to the Rochester area as well. I'm 15 weeks now and most of my very close friends knew immediately. I had a really bad m/c at 12 weeks though so didn't want to tell everyone right away. I told mom about 8 weeks, dad about 10, one brother just last week and another who lives far away doesn't know yet ( i want to tell him in person). I had a small placental bleed a couple weeks ago too, which luckily resolved itself quickly. I have my anatomy scan in 4 weeks: hoping for a girl!! :)

    Congrats everyone!! Now I'm into the horrible morning sickness stage. I'm so excited to be pregnant but feel so incredibly awful I have no energy to be excited.

    I work a lot of hours but lately I'm going in late & leaving early and not the most productive when there (which is way out of character).

    How's everyone else feeling??
    And where's everyone from??
    I live I'm Warren but hoping to move to the Royal Oak area soon :-)

    Diclegis!!! I am not usually a fan of taking extra medications (especially during pregnancy) BUT I was getting so nauseous that I couldn't eat and lost a ton of weight. It has helped me and cut down my morning sickness by over 95% I'd say. 
    I've started feeling much better recently and i hope I'm moving out of the first trimester icky feeling stage. I'm almost 16 weeks now and glad for it. But now I'm starting to notice a lot of the small body changes which are becoming uncomfortable (for sleeping/maneuvering easily at work, etc) 
    As I mentioned I'm from the Rochester area :)

    I'm in Livonia and expecting my first March 20th and have been cramping everyday! From what I've read it is normal unless there is blood (if that happen call your doctor!) I'm so excited even with the cramps and fatigue!

    I'm loving all these new posts! I hope it means that the Detroit board might get some more activity.

    I'm due in January in Harrison Twp. 

    Congratulations to all of you girls!!

    Congratulations ladies!

    I am due March 25th 2015. I am from Northville. Anyone heard any good reviews about Providence Park Hospital in Novi? 
    I am trying to figure out which obstetrician to  go to and Novi would be the closest location. As the hospital is fairly new, anyone know how the nurses and staff are in general?

    Also, any luck finding prenatal exercise classes?

    Good to see local activity :)

    Providence Park Novi has really good RNs.  I have had a few friends deliver there and were very happy with the staff (from the Doctors all the way down to the RN techs), their rooms (private and spacious with room for dad to stay the night) and not too much complaining about the food (but it is still hospital food :) )
