Keep yourself busy with other things besides learning more about baby. We all have a very long time to wait to be obsessing about time already! Find some new hobbies, workout, spend time with friends/family, get involved in your community, or if you work...really dive into that.

plumpous

Yes I feel it too!
So many things can't come too soon. My first doctor appointment is Tuesday and I feel like I've been waiting so long. I even feel that waiting each week to see what fruit size the baby is this week is like torture... Ha ha.
Most of all, I want to start telling and I want to start showing already! It's like time is standing still.
I'm 8 and a half weeks now.

I feel the exact same way! I'm 8 weeks &5 days! And just want to know the gender already and start showing, and feel kicks and I'm always on the bump! Time is going so slow. My friend is pregnant too and she's at 25 weeks and she says once you know the gender it seemed to her that time started flying! I hope so!

I'm 6 weeks 4 days. And I feel the same way!! I can't wait to feel the baby move and find out what I'm having.... :-w

adge223

Totally feel ya! 6weeks and I feel like time could not go by slower!! It doesn't help that I don't have my first appt till 9wks and ultrasound at 12....it seems forever away!! Trying to keep busy but it's not helping!

Pink283

I remember feeling that way during my first pregnancy.  My advice would be to enjoy this time to yourself as much as possible.  Take naps and enjoy time with your hubby.  I'm pregnant with my 3rd and it's going by more quickly because I'm so busy with my other kiddos.  That being said, I cant't wait for my first appointment in 2 weeks!  I love seeing my little bean for the first time!  

ShaquilaStewart

I'm glad I'm not the only one ! It can become so frustrating! Omg @plumpous I'm exactly the same im 6 weeks 5 days and I've already read the fruit size for week 7 and the other stuff they tell you about how much the baby has changed . Oh I'm so impatient ! I can't wait to be in the 2nd trimester

ShaquilaStewart

@zulytorres I hope so too ! Time can't go any slower for me !

ShaquilaStewart

@Pink283 I have been sleeping and spending lots of time with hubby but uno when u spend too much time with him .. And he starts to annoy u every little movement haha ! I have an an appointment to see my dr when I'm 8 weeks ( so about a week and a half away ) but no appointment for US yet . I think I'll cry when I see baby for the first time.

ShaquilaStewart

@michellet78 me too !!! That emoji U put cracked me up because that's exactly me right now ! Haha

mrsjstrader

I think I feel that way because I am so nauseous!  I think once I get past the sickies I will be able to return to a regular functioning day.  Right now ALL DAY LONG I am focused on not getting sick!  They say that morning sickness usually peaks at 9 weeks, and I will be 9 weeks on Tuesday.  Praying for a steady decline after that.  >-

ShaquilaStewart

@mrsjstrader oh no ! I'm lucky I have no sickness but I'm really tired and when I'm awake I'm really bored I just want time to speeeeeed up a lot so I can start buying things and prepare for a baby shower ! I'm nowhere near there yet hope u feel better soon !

ruthsurface

Oh my gosh! I wish I would have waited to find out I was pregnant! We found out at 4w and are now 6w2d. First dr appointment isn't until March 17th. Literally I have read two whole baby books, downloaded about 6 apps, purchased nursery furniture and rearranged our whole house accordingly, and we just bought a new car yesterday (room for car seat)! All this on top of working about 50 hours a week. So much for being tired!! It somehow does seem quite real still... Can't wait to see our baby!

debbiefellowescarter

This is my 2nd pregnancy and likely to be my last. Im 7 weeks 2 days and although time is going so slowly.... Im making the most of being pregnant... the time will soon fly!♡

ShaquilaStewart

@ruthsurface haha ! U did make me laugh I too have about 4 apps and I've read almost all of what to expect when ur expecting but I haven't bought anything yet waiting for 12 weeks to be OVERRRRRR !!! Awww me too can't wait to meet our baby !!!! Makes me wanna scream !

ShaquilaStewart

@debbiefellowescarter awww I think if I knew wat it was like to be pregnant from experience Id probably enjoy being pregnant too but with the fear of miscarriage etc it makes me want Atleast the first 12 weeks to be finished by now owww ! In 2 days I'll have 5 weeks to go until I can start enjoying this x
Congrats on ur pregnancy

Cynthia1207

The first trimester is the worst IMO. It dragged with my first, it's dragging now, I feel tired and nauseous. I can't wait for second tri. There's so much more to look forward to. I'm trying to enjoy this trimester as this will be my last pregnancy, but it's hard. I'm just looking forward to hearing the heartbeat but that's only going to be in probably a month from now...

OrwellianTruth

I think once I tell people I'm pregnant and I'm able to talk about it with family and friends the waiting time will be easier..... I am so glad I have this board...

Imangan

I'm 9 weeks 2 days and my god I am bored. I've googled every symptom over the last 5 weeks and scared myself to death (so much scare mongering out there) I've slept read books and tried not to puke on myself or my other half...... I am praying that the next 32 weeks are not like the last 5!! As for the "glow" the only glow I've had is a big red face after being sick all day

smfeuro

Time feels like its going in reverse to me because it kind of is. I would have been 7 weeks today if my doctor hadn't measured me 6 days behind when she did an early ultrasound (because of previous miscarriage). I'm kind of hoping that at the next ultrasound I will have somehow "caught up" and I will only have a couple more weeks to go before I'm out of the woods.

MrsN092714

I am 5w2d, got my bfp at 3w5d, so not even two weeks ago! Each day is creeping by, I am waiting on a referral to an OB so I don't even have a Dr, never mind my first apt scheduled. Had some bleeding yesterday, so am going in for an ultrasound tomorrow. I am just dying to get out of the first tri. I was doing so well in not stressing the first trimester but that went out the window yesterday. I just want to be in a place where I'm feel more confident and less scared!

ShaquilaStewart

Me to everyone im bored , tired and more bored all I do is look at how many weeks I have til 12 weeks I split it up as much as I can to make it seem like lesser time ' so 5 weeks left , that's 7 days 5 times '

LiveNLove44

Haha, OP, I felt the same way with DD! I found that this time around, I am much better at just "doing life" which makes the time pass much more quickly. I try to remain only vaguely aware of my pregnancy because if I focus to much on how it's making me tired, sick, or otherwise, it makes the days go by so slowly! I try to stay busy and distracted at all times Make some plans for the upcoming weeks so you have something to get ready for or experience. Make a point to do some date nights or adventures with friends to keep your mind off the fatigue, ms, other. I hope it passes quickly for you Try to enjoy this time with your LO! Once they're out, the time FLIES!!!

ShaquilaStewart

@LiveNLove44 haha ! Thank you I shall take your advice and arrange some dates with my husband as these are the last few months of just him and I .. Oh gosh the thought of that has got me tearing up , I never thought that before ! But Yh I'll keep myself as occupied as possible trouble is I have a pretty boring life ! Haha

soap1122

This is exactly how I'm feeling here lol
Glad I'm not alone
I have like 3 apps and checking on the weekly baby size everyday. Time is going soooo slow... I'm w6 and after my last miscarriage I'm so worry right now and I just hope I've passed 12 weeks when I wake up tomorrow ..

ShaquilaStewart

@soap1122 I know it's horrible isn't it ! I'm going to be 7 weeks tomorrow and I already can't wait to be 8 weeks , then 9 then 10 looool we are ever so impatient but I think it's because we're scared more than anything !
