Introducing myself, 1st time pregnant!! Yayyy!!

Melissadmag

Hi everyone, I'm Melissa and we found out we were expecting our first child on March 29th, I am 5 weeks today and it is just so crazy! I do feel tired and incredibly nauseated as soon as I get the least bit hungry but it just doesn't feel real. I am so incredibly happy that we are expecting, I just can't wait to I guess feel something going on in me that feels like their is something definitely growing in there. Also, I am so worried every time I pee that there might be blood and this whole thing will just end. I want to fast forward to the second trimester so that I can feel fully confident and excited about this pregnancy...Anyone else going through that? I guess the worry of motherhood starts the second you get that second line on the test. I am supposed to be due December 8th if I calculated everything correctly, but I guess I will find out at my first appointment which isn't until the end of this month. Anyway, can't wait to start talking with all of you and congratulations to everyone!!

Hello! We just found out today we are pregnant with out first! My due date is december 6th based on my OBs calculations. I too feel nervous and apprehensive about these next few weeks until we can hear the heartbeat. I dont feel any different except for sore nipples and bloated. But I did over induldge a little this past holiday weekend. best of luck to you! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!
Youll have to update me on your due date when you meet with your OB.

You are not alone, Melissa. I am having the same fears about blood and really any abnormal feeling in my body. I don't have any typical symptoms like nausea or fatigue yet so I keep wondering if it's real!!!

It's hard to let go of the worry. My family doctor told me this morning that the only thing I can do is keep myself healthy, stay active, make sure my body (and Baby Appleseed) gets enough nutrition, and gestate. Isn't it amazing what our bodies are doing right now?!

I'm so glad you posted this! I feel the same way. My biggest fear is seeing blood on the toilet paper. I've been experiencing nausea, but it helps me to know that something's going on in there so I've welcomed it My EDD is 12/10 but my first appt isn't until next week! Happy and Healthy nine months!

Right there with you. This is my first as well. EDD is dec 1st and I can't wait for my first appointment to get here. I was never a hypochondriac before this but now I feel like I over analyze every little symptom lol. Will be so relieved when that second trimester hits. Best wishes for a happy, healthy pregnancy!

I feel the same way too! It just doesn't feel real yet. If I calculated correctly I'm 5w6d.

Smallangel

Feel the same as well, especially with the fear of seeing blood.
I seem to feel the cramps more when I need to urinate and dread every trip. Currently 5wks 2days and can't wait for a scan to see that my Sprout is growing perfectly normal.
EDD is 6th Dec.
A h&h 9 months to us all and roll on 2nd tri! >:D< =D>

Hello Melissa and all of the other gals in my birth club
My fiancé and I found out we were expecting on the thirty-first at our confirmation appointment. I'd taken a test before hand, but I thought it was a mistake before the appointment since I'd taken three other tests! We are so excited.
I've been experiencing all of the "pleasures" or pregnancy so far. Sore nipples, morning sickness, fatigue, weight gain, and so much more! On the bright side, we're both looking forward to our appointment on the fourteenth.
You are not the only one experiencing all of these fear and emotions. I've been a wreck worrying about losing my little miracle(s). My cousin just lost her child two weeks before I learned of my own, so it has solidified that fear.
So far, so good, though. Let's just hope that all goes well for all of us!

I am currently 5w3d and overall feel great. A little bloated here and there but no nausea or breast tenderness... Super excited for baby #1. Welcome Melissa!

I am definitely trying to enjoy every moment of it (that I'm awake for lol). How did you get the countdown timeline on your profile? I am trying to avoid it posting to my facebook until the 2nd trimester but it would be fun to have that up here where eveyone knows  

Melissadmag

I am definitely having the soreness as well blah! I will for sure update the due date when I find out. I'm so excited I just want my first appointment to be here already but I have to wait all month. Oh well, at least I got the doctor I want for my first appointment so I'm pretty pleased with that since he has an amazing reputation. Anyway, good luck to you as well!

I know, I am in awe! All last week I was like hmph baby is only a poppy seed, that's almost nothing, but this week it's an apple seed, that's really getting somewhere! It's funny because I keep going back and forth between wanting my bump to start showing and still wanting to keep my flat stomach for a little longer. I guess mostly I just want to start feeling something more official than sleepiness and nausea when I'm hungry. Anyway, this is fun! I'm so glad I get to talk about this instead of keeping it secret for another two months!  

cvtcamilla

Right there with you! So glad you posted that! I dont have any other symptoms than sore boobs and frequent urination. I hope that that's just my body's way of being pregnant, cause everywhere I read everybody is feeling Nausea and overly tiredness. I'm so worried everyday to see blood cause you read everywhere the common of miscarriages. Even tough I don't want to have that mindset, it's hard cause you don't want to loose your miracle! I just can't wait for the second trimester!

Hey Melissa! And everyone else

This is also my first pregnancy, and so far I'm feeling great! I'm 6 weeks tomorrow (due 12/2), have my PCP appt on Friday and I'll schedule my OB for around 10 weeks. Super excited and hard to keep a secret....we want to at least keep it to ourselves until we hear the heartbeat! Good luck to all of you!

Melissadmag

Good luck to you as well, we failed so hard at keeping it a secret. Within 5 minutes of telling my husband he was telling his brother which I felt it would be unfair to leave my sister out so it was a bit of a domino chain reaction with telling people. Awh well, we still have the extended family, friends, and coworkers to tell
