Re: First Time Moms!

  • @flowerpower5838 Please go post on someone else's thread you've already made your point, so move on sweetheart. Again I feel like I'm repeating myself I know all too well about MCs my 3 close friends at 30 years old have had them! I'm not going to repeat myself as to why it is disheartening to hear.

  • Welcome! I am also a first timer- everything is so much scarier than I imagined. I'm hoping to relax soon and just be excited!

    Same here but I don't think I can fully relax until I'm at least 20wks

    This isn't your thread - not that it would matter if you did. People like you are the reason MC is so stigmatized. If women can't come to a forum like this and feel supported, where else? Women are expected not to talk about MC IRL, so that leaves boards like these. If you don't like it, leave.

    I honestly feel bad for you. How sad that you can't be empathetic to women that have experienced loss and are petrified what their next pregnancy may or may not bring.

  • 6-7weeks along (find out exact date next week at my 2nd ultrasound). I am exhausted all the time but I don't sleep at night, my boobs cannot be touched and have grown a cup size, restless and my lower back has a consistent dull pain. Oh an nauseous and morning vomiting. Turned off most foods... But... Does anyone know where I can get a good cheese bun in the GTA? Lol cravings!! I thought I would love being pregnant... Not so much yet. Super excited and so much more relaxed than usual. But ready for my 2nd trimester already!!!
  • First time mom here too. My EDD is March 22nd. I'm 6 weeks and 4 days. I've been feeling like I'm going to throw up but haven't yet. I have my first appointment August 31st and me and my hubby are very excited!! Excited to share this experience with y'all.
  • Hello fellow FTMs! It's so nice to "meet" you all and read about your experiences. I'm 8 weeks 2 days with EDD 03/13. DH and I got married in early June, so this is a surprise honeymoon baby. We're equal parts excited and nervous. I'm experiencing a lot of the same symptoms as many of you, especially nausea and cramping. I look forward to sharing this expereince with you all.

    FTM from Peoria, IL. . . Of course i am very worried about doing everything right but my friends say i will be a wonderful mommy ♡
  • Hi FTM's! So excited to be joining all of you on this crazy journey! I'm 6w1d with EDD 3/29. Going for my first US in a week! Is anyone else planning to bring their hubby/partner to the first one??
  • Hey y'all, FTM here too! EDD March 28! My husband and I just got married in June, and happened to bring this little miracle back from our honeymoon! Our first appointment is next week and we are so excited!
  • FTM here! I feel like I posted here already but can't find my post :((

    I am currently 8w3d! Super excited my DH and I have been married almost 2 years. Our anniversary is actually next week!! We are both 25 and will be 26 in January & February and the baby is due in March (14th)!! Lol we are praying for a healthy baby and no complications during the birth! Congratulations to the rest of you mommas!!
  • I'm a FTM too! I'm 33, and my SO and I have been trying for 16 months- we were about to go to a fertility specialist until my birthday rolled around and... A few weeks later I get at BFP! We are so excited- I'm 6 weeks 2 days and my symptoms are painful boobs, burning sensation in my nipples, insomnia, moodiness, heat sensitivity, cramping, and a voracious craving for meat with lime or vinegar on it! It's weird because pre-pregnancy I wasn't a big meat eater! I guess I need protein and iron, so carne asada tacos for me!

    First time momma-to-be here! We are due March 15th, so I am 8 weeks 3 days today. I had my second ultrasound on Wednesday of this week and we got to HEAR the heartbeat - 170 BPM. Amazing! DH & I have had 2 MMC in the last 8 months so getting to see baby growing & being healthy is amazing.
  • I found out on June 26th, which was also our 5 year wedding anniversary. I'm now 6w2d pregnant, and due March 9th.

    I feel hungover. All the time. And all I can eat is peaches and rice crispies. I feel miserable, but overwhelmingly happy and excited at the same time. My boobs hurt, so of course, my cat keep trying to smush them.

    My husband is out of town every week Monday-Friday, so that's been a little challenging. But it's helping me stay on a more suitable diet.

    I have 4 dogs... One has figured it out so far. It's adorable.

    So, only one of our three dogs has it figured out in our household. The funny thing is that we have a farm and I SWEAR my horse and one of our donkeys know... They are acting so differently than usual when I'm around. They say equines are very sensitive creatures, even more so than dogs!
  • 6w3d here, first timer, brown discharge abt every other day.
  • I have 2 dogs and 3 cats, im expecting my dogs to notice, how are other people animals noticing/mood behavior?
  • I'm a first time at 7 weeks along. When people ask, I generally sum how I feel by saying "I'm in a constant state of hunger and tiredness. If I'm not hungry or tired, then I'm aching and REALLY have to pee."

    I've also noticed the pregnancy brain thing. I do stupid little things that make me wonder why I did them because I know better than that. It's so much fun when it happens at work...(not really)... I feel like I'm letting everyone down because I'm one of the more knowledgable baristas, but I forget stupid stuff. Like today, I had to remake 5+ drinks because as soon as I finished them, I realized they were wrong. *sigh*

    Also, @ALBrin815 I have 5 cats, and I've definitely noticed some changes in them. Two are constantly either vying for my attention (at all hours) or up my butt. The one that used to be near me so much I called her my shadow now wants almost nothing to do with me. The baby that I call my feral child (bc we didn't find her until she was 6-8 weeks old, and she's very skittish around humans) has been coming up to me more often for some attention. The fifth one hasn't really changed in behavior too much, but he seems discontent, like he knows something is off with me.

  • First time "mom". Right now I'm just feeling a mixture of emotions. My husband is super excited , like super super excited lol and I want to feel the way he does. But It's hard with all the pregnancy symptoms. We also just got married back in November and weren't planning on having kids for a couple of years. To be honest right now I'm just really scared.

  • Aloha! First time pregnant10w2d - although I've been a nanny and sitter for almost 7 years. I have all te hands on experience but actually being pregnant is a bit scary. I was able to attend a beautiful ceremony 2 weeks ago that allowed me to release all my fears and I feel better. First trimester has been rough but it's a good time for me to strengthen my mind as I would love to have an all natural water birth.
    I've waited a long time for this. Been patient and now that it's happening I can't stop smiling. I wish u all the very best, lots of blessings to u all. <3

    Like you all, I'm a first time mom. My first prenatal appt is in 2 days and I'm hoping for the best ofcourse. I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow!
    I've had horrible symptoms so far. Always extremely nauseous and most food is repulsive (except BLTs and pineapple - oddly). I have a constant headache and exhaustion to the point I pass out at 730pm and wake 12 hours later. Not to mention the exhaustion comes back around 2pm until I pass out. The bloat is beyond uncomfortable and nothing fits. I'm constantly dying of thirst.
    I found out I was pregnant 2 days before my bfs birthday on Aug 3rd (what a shock to him!). With all the symptoms I'm feeling miserable and just hope the maladies pass soon. :(
    I am due March 31st (unless the ob tells differently on Friday :) )
  • FTM mom! Just found this discussion. I'm due march 2nd and I'm 25 :) I was reading all of your posts and lots of you seen a doctor so quickly! Unfortunately where I live I had to wait until I was 13 weeks before I got to see a doctor!!!! Longest wait of my life!!! All I had to go off of was 5 positive pregnancy tests and A LOT of horrible symptoms haha. Lots of you even had super early ultrasounds I'm so jealous! I'm 16 weeks tomorrow and I have my so conditions ultrasound on October 9th and I'm so excited to find out if it's a boy or girl! DH is hoping for a boy :) so glad I'm into the second trimester since the first was awful! I had every symptom in the book. I actually lost weight because I was so sick! Anyone else have a difficult first trimester??
