Hi y'all! (:

1) I have felt so good the past few days, aside from constipation & not being able to eat meat still....
2) my husband goes to bed about 9, and I don't like going to bed without him so I get about 10 hours of sleep or so.
3) I work at a k-8 school, so currently out for the summer! Yay!!
4) was just talking to my husband about this last night. I feel super bloated but surprisingly haven't gained anything. But I eat like a hog so it's gonna catch up to me before I know it!
5) 8w5d!
6) 23rd of this month.

GTKU: I'm from Southern Oklahoma! (:

@AshleighSue I forgot to mention the constipation - its getting ridiculous! I don't know what to do about it, and I'm sure a lot of it is because all I eat is bread all day long. I throw up most other foods. 

I'm not really sure what questions to ask - I haven't really asked much to be honest with you. I trust my doctor a lot, and he is pretty thorough. I def asked about some bad cramps I was having, and the two times I saw my babies I asked him if they were ok lol. Even when hearing the heartbeat I ask him to make sure they are good heartbearts. I can't wait to see them again, it eases my nerves so much. I can't wait until I am further along so I can really feel pregnant, and not wonder.

1) Nausea, fatigue, constipation AND diarrhea (I'm super talented!)
2) However much it is, it isn't enough. I've also been waking up for an hour or so in the middle of the night
3) My background is in biochemistry, but I've been exploring some other areas lately.
4) I look like I've gained a million pounds, but it's probably less than five.
5) 8 weeks + 1
6) The 25th! I haven't seen the doc since it was confirmed that it was twins. She was weirdly excited about it when we spoke on the phone.

GTKU: I live in New York.

Anyone else burp and hiccup a lot??

AshleighhSue

@keshakdavis yes!! I burp all the time. And sneeze! I've never sneezed so much in my life.
@NenaB54 sounds like me! I go tmw to have my blood drawn for my progesterone levels....praying everything comes back good. I just wanna go to the doctors everyday to make sure everything is going like it's suppose to be and of course so I can see them (:

1) I cannot stop burping and hiccuping! I am so glad to hear other mamas (esp. of twins have that).  I have been sick, but feeling good today.  Just constipated (no fun), constant heartburn, and fatigue.  I had an ultrasound this morning and saw the babies though so I am riding high! Both of their heartbeats are great and the doc said I am now below the 1% risk for miscarriage.  

2) 8-9 hours typically, but I find I also need a catnap after work these days.

3) I work for a law firm.

4) I have lost 3 lbs but I really find that hard to believe given my carb-heavy diet and how I look haha.

5) 7weeks5days

6) Headed for my last appointment at the fertility office next week before seeing the OB-Gyn the following week.

1) symptoms today are nausea, exhaustion, and sore boobs.
2) 7 hours typically
3) I'm a SAHM to our 3 girls.
4) as of my last appt I think I hadn't gained any weight. Not sure now, the scale messes with my head so I try to stay away from it.
5) 11 weeks 2 days
6) next Drs appt is less than 2 weeks away on June 30.

Hi ladies!! 

1) What symptoms are you having this morning? Lots and lots of nausea that comes and goes throughout the day.  I've also been experiencing lightheadedness when I wake up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.  It's a real chore to eat but I feel much worse if I don't eat a proper meal. I can't wait until food starts tasting better again!

2) How many hours do you average of sleep each night? Between 8-9 but I usually wake up around 3am for some water and a snack to help my morning go better. 

3) What kind of work do you do? HR at a church. 

4) How much weight have you gained or lost? I think I've lost around 2 pounds. 

5) How far along are you? 10 weeks 4 days. 

6) When is your next doctor's appointment? June 26 with my regular physician and July 1 for my next ultrasound.

Hi everyone.

1. Super tired, sore boobs, aversion to most foods, bloated, constipated
2. About 8-9 hrs and I sometimes nap as well.
3. We own a restaurant but I'm a SAHM at this point.
4. I've been hovering in the same area, not really gaining or losing.
5. 7 wks & 4 days
6. Monday 6/22 is my last appt with the fertility doc (which is very exciting b/c we're over the 2.5 hour drive that has become an integral part of our lives!) Then I'm already scheduled with my local OBGYN the following week. I feel so fortunate to have an u/s 2 weeks in a row. It's like a dream!

@happyandhopeful3 you're at 7 w and your doc said you're below 1% chance of miscarriage! !! That is the BEST news I've heard all day! I'm 9 w 5d so that helps ease my worries

MamaZen

@happyandhopeful3 Congrats on the awesome Dr report! I know that feels great!

littleloves3

@keshakdavis and @mamazen yes thanks!  They said once the growth and heartrate measured right where they were supposed to, it lowers me to less than 1%!  I hope that makes everyone feel better ;-) 

daisiemay22

Yes it makes me feel a LOT better. I'm 8 w5d and our RE transferred me to ob. No more 3 hour journey. I spoke to them on Friday I'm now off estrogen and I stop POI shots the 29th. When she said once the pregnancy is viable and I was like holy this is gonna happen. Can't wait to watch my 2 little olives grow.

Hi everyone! First post and excited to share!

1. Terrible heartburn and burping, just about every time I burp, I also gag and come close to throwing up... Again. Most of my nausea is in the evenings, can't remember the last night I cooked much less ate a normal dinner. Fatigue, early PM headaches, and of course tender boobs. TMI - my nipples feel raw all the time!
2. Usually 7-8 hours with an occasional nap after work, but I also get up at 5:20 every morning, so I'm in bed pretty early.
3. I'm an occupational therapist in a rehab hospital, lot of heavy lifting and very little down time, caseload of 6-9 patients very day.
4. I've gained about 2 lb according to our home scale
5. 11 wks 1 day, and I've got two wiggle worms in there!
6. Next appointment is July 13! So ready for the first trimester woes to be over and done with!!!
