How far along are you?

Any news, concerns, exciting stuff?

I am 11w1d today!

This is further than I got with my last pregnancy and our first ultrasound was good, so overall I am feeling good. I definitely have my moments when symptoms subside and I worry about growth. We have our NT test ultrasound on Monday so I am anxiously awaiting that, while half preparing myself for bad news.

Side note, when I got pregnant the first time I signed up for Thyme Maternity's mailing list, which included coupons and other stuff from their affiliates. Tonight I came home to a package from Nestle to help me with my "upcoming first meeting with my baby in December." It still stings but I am happy that I am pregnant again and will likely be able to use this stuff sooner rather than later. If I wasn't pregnant right now I would have totally lost my shit!

*What kinds of things are you guys doing to try and stay positive? I feel like I am still telling myself "maybe" for everything and I can't quite go all in for this baby yet because of how I would feel if I lost it too, but that also makes me feel a bit sad because I want to be totally excited!

10 weeks!

Im yet to see the doctor as I had to cancel my appointment two weeks ago due to both my kids being sick. 

My new appointment is on the 24. Im super sick everyday, which Im seeing as a good sign. I have been able to find the heartbeat of the baby on my home doppler since week 8 so thats a stress reliever and probably the only keeping me calm as I wait for my appointment.

Im was due in December as well. Im so glad *fingers crossed* I'll be pregnant this December. Im hoping it takes some of the sting away.

10weeks 6 days

Just had my second appointment and things are looking good. I had another ultrasound and got to see baby moving and it was hard to get the babies heartbeat at first because the baby wouldnt quit moving.

I'm new to TB but I had a missed miscarriage in April. It was my first. I was 11 weeks along but the baby measured somewhere between 8-9 weeks. I am now 9 weeks pregnant and somewhat patiently (no, not really) waiting until my second doc appointment. We saw the baby and saw a strong heart beat and measured at 5+6, and my symptoms are still STRONG so hopeful this one is sticking it out.

Can't wait to see that follow up sono and see the baby GROW! Next appointment it next Wednesday and I've been proud of myself for not calling the doctor to get me in early. :-)

I know exactly what you mean. I catch myself saying things like "if this baby sticks around" and "as long as things go OK". I want to just be pumped! And I worry a lot about symptoms. The few days I've had relief have almost made me tearful. I hate the nausea and tender boobs, but they reassure me something is still happening! Wish I had an at home ultrasound machine.....

How strange so many of us were due in Dec! I was due Dec 31st.

Anyway, I'm 9w1d and feeling ok. Had a few freak- outs regarding other health issues (just diagnosed MTHFR, for one) and how they would affect the baby, but everything seems fine so far. Fairly nauseous and my boobs are killing me, so I feel pregnant at least!

Booked my harmony test, which will now happen in 1.5weeks so getting excited/ nervous to see the bub (I think they're doing an U/S as well), and to get that test underway. It would be amazing if we had it back before the NT as last time we were entirely blindsided during the NT (severe cystic hygroma, turned out to be Turners). Fingers crossed for all good things... But I too, am guilty of the "if" and "maybe" statements...
