Daily (or weekly??) post

nwshay

I know its early, but lets start a regular post. What do you ladies think, every day or every week?? The questions can change, but heres what I will put for now. Who ever wants to start it everyday, can, especially since I'm on the west coast so I'll be waking probably the latest. Suggestions welcome!

When did you find out?

What symptoms are you experiencing?

How far along? 

Any anxiety, fear, or questions brewing??

When did you find out? This morning at my in laws! I have had suspicions for at least a week though... Weird, I know...  

What symptoms are you experiencing? Strange feeling in (what I assume) uterus area.. Like a pressure or pulling sensation. Heightened sense of smell. Heart burn, indigestion

How far along? 4 wks and 2 days

Any anxiety, fear, or questions brewing?? I had a CP last month so I'm a little freaked. but I found out earlier last time, and hadnt had a missed period, so I'm feeling a little better... But still. Its scary

mom2adoodle

Thanks for starting this! I'm in for either every day or week. I think it depends on how active the board wants to be. It'll probably diminish clutter if we do this every day. 


When did you find out? Christmas Eve but shared with DH Christmas day. 

What symptoms are you experiencing? Slight cramping/pulling, fatigue and headaches. 

How far along? Based on O date 3 weeks and 5 days 

Any anxiety, fear, or questions brewing?? Just hoping I don't see spotting/blood every time I use the restroom! Hoping for the best. 

nwshay

Ugh @mom2adoodle I've been doing the same thing every time I use the bathroom. Every time I wipe I'm convinced I'll see blood.

Yeah, that cramping/pulling is weird, huh? Not painful. Just... different.

When did you find out? 3 days ago

What symptoms are you experiencing? Very tender boobs, lightning bolts in the boobs lol, sore and darker nipples. Mild nausea off and on. Pelvic pressure, crampy sometimes. Not hungry all the time, but when I get hungry I need to eat right away or my stomach will eat itself.

How far along? 3 weeks and 5 days I think? My EDD on FF is different than on LMP calculators.

Any anxiety, fear, or questions brewing?? Worried about making it to the second tri of course. This is my third, so I feel like an old pro in some ways, but that worry is unavoidable.

ETA question: Why does The Bump think I'm 4w4d when I'm only 12 dpo? I O'd on CD 14, so shouldn't that be 3w5d?

Jen080916

And also, I agree with @mom2adoodle about a daily thread. It would really help keep the board organized.

That's odd. What was your O date? 

persingerma

Found out on Christmas day (thank goodness walgreens was open! Had VERY faint lines, so I wanted a digital test to be sure).

Not many symptoms so far. Heartburn, tender breasts, and the pulling/cramp-like sensation a lot of others have been feeling. Found a nice article about it though. Explained it very well. https://www.parents.com/pregnancy/my-body/aches-pains/cramping-during-pregnancy/

I'm 4 weeks along today.

As for anxieties, much the same as everyone else. Still worried that I'll see blood, still can't quite believe it's true...

Jen080916

@mom2adoodle I O'd on Dec 15, CD 1 was Dec 2. I was actually very surprised I O'd on CD 14, I had been having irregular periods the past two cycles. My EDD from FF is Sept 6.

SuperFudge00

I think daily is too much, but I think weekly would be great.

When did you find out?

12/23

What symptoms are you experiencing?

Morning sickness and bloat

How far along?

3 weeks 3 days

Any anxiety, fear, or questions brewing??

2 under 2 and AMA

mom2adoodle

@hotmessexpress0809 I o'ed on December 14th and FF has me down for a Sep 5 due date. I tend to trust FF on most things lol. Is the Bump going off your LMP? I have longer cycles so I know if I inputted that data most due date predictors would have me farther along then I think/know I am by confirming O.

Kristin15172004

I think weekly will be fine.

When did you find out? last night!

What symptoms are you experiencing? bloat like crazy!!

How far along? 3 weeks 2 days

Any anxiety, fear, or questions brewing?? nervous about having a baby and a 5 year old! I know DD will be a big helper, but scared about how ill juggle everything. I am currently a pt student, work pt in retail, own a bow business, and try to take care of our house. A friend of mine just had a baby last month and any time I hold her and have to tend to DD, I get a little flustered. Trying to hold a nb and help dd with what she needs is a little daunting. I know I'll figure it out, but that's the big thing that scares me. I am also scared about the birth, DD's was terrible! I will be doing a lot of things different this time around!

TheTamedShrew

When did you find out? Last Monday, 12/21

What symptoms are you experiencing? Bloat, sore boobs, mild cramping/pulling sensations

How far along? 4w4d

Any anxiety, fear, or questions brewing?? Mainly just wondering if we should move to a bigger house. I think our house will feel cramped with two kids.

reesaXden

When did you find out? Last night at 11dpo. Line was super dark but still took a digital this morning!

What symptoms are you experiencing? Nothing quite yet. I am super crampy though... Maybe just gas but still nervousness after our previous loss.

How far along? 3w4d

Any anxiety, fear, or questions brewing?? Just trying to be in the moment and not worry. Can we be to second tri yet?!

Alyeena

When did you find out? About a week ago, I forst tested five days after my frozen embryo transfer.

How far along? 4 weeks 3 days

Any anxiety, fear? Of course, we have been TTC for four years now, we both are infertile and we conceived with IVF, we got our first bfp this summer but I misscaried at 8 weeks. This was our first frozen embryo transfer. I am pretty terrified honestly, not of being a parent but of losing this baby again.
That is one thing with infertlity, nothing about a baby ever scares you after al of that. I don't care if I never get another full night of sleep again if it means I can finnally have a healthy baby.

nwshay

FX for you @Alyeena . I can't imagine going through such a stressful and emotional time. GL!

So everyone- lets do weekly for now, since there aren't a ton of us yet, then once it gets crazier we will do weekly to keep the clutter down.

I think there is something called 'ticker change' that is like this where you post when your ticker changes to a new week.  For example my ticker says I'm 4 weeks and 2 days pregnant so when my ticker changes to 5 week (which is a Friday, I think  ) thats the day of the week that I answer the questions like the one on this post. We did it in my June14 when I was preggo with #1  But for now here's whats up with us the week!

When did you find out? Christmas Eve

What symptoms are you experiencing? fatigue, constant urge to pee, and the runs 

How far along? 4 weeks 2 days

Any anxiety, fear, or questions brewing?? Anxiety for my first OB appt.  With my first we had a scare that I was ectopic and had to go in for blood work everyday until I was about 9 weeks.  Im hoping that my hcg and progesterone levels are nice and strong from the beginning this time!

izzetoot

@Krisitn15172004 I have the same anxiety! My SIL has 2 boys, one is 3 and the other almost a year, they will be almost the exact age diff between my mine, assuming everything goes to plan And when I watch her juggle both boys it just seem so overwhelming! But her kids adore each other and watching them play and seeing the older one try to help his mama out with the baby is just too cute.  I fear that I wont have the same one on one time that I have with my son now that I cherish so much bc Ill constantly be attending to a newborn.  But I have a feeling once this baby is here my inner mom will just know what to do, like I experienced when the first blessed our lives  

sunshinern96

When did you find out? 3 days ago

What symptoms are you experiencing? Extremely hungry, bloated like crazy, some breast and nipple pain and larger breasts, occasional dizziness, fatigue

How far along? 3 weeks 5 days

Any anxiety, fear, or questions brewing?? I had an ectopic pregnancy in the fall and ended up having surgery to remove my right tube on Oct 3. Hoping that this baby is in the right spot and is healthy! Should have an early ultrasound during my 6th week but need to confirm everything tomorrow with my doctor. I also have hypothyroidism which I didn't have during my last pregnancy. I'm hoping everything goes smoothly with that as well!

nwshay

Keep us updated @sunshinern96 ! Hoping for the best for ya

When did you find out? Wednesday, 12/23

What symptoms are you experiencing? Mostly just light cramping and a "pulling" feeling.

How far along? 4w3d

Any anxiety, fear, or questions brewing? I'm a bit paranoid right now about a loss. Like some others here, every time I go to the bathroom I'm worried I'll see spotting or blood. I've never had a loss since this is my first pregnancy, but my SIL had an early loss just a month or two ago so I'm extra nervous.

JessicaC0203

When did you find out? Monday, 12/21/15

What symptoms are you experiencing? Not much. Some nausea at times. Extreme thirst though was my first hint that I was pregnant. 

How far along? 4w3d

Any anxiety, fear, or questions brewing? Keeping my FX that this is a healthy pregnancy. I know closer to the U/S my anxiety will grow as I still have fear of another blighted ovum. Using mindfulness and knowing it is beyond my control. 

Thinking of everyone that is also PGAL! And CONGRATS to everyone!

homebird

When did you find out? Christmas Day

What symptoms are you experiencing? Exhaustion, peeing more

How far along? Almost 4 weeks I think. Check the siggy. 

Any anxiety, fear, or questions brewing?? I am anxious about going from 2 - 3 kids. We discussed all the pros and cons before TTC. I felt comfortable with it (obviously since we purposefully tried to get pregnant) but there will always be some unknowns that we'll have to deal with down the road. The two biggies for me are finding a bigger vehicle and figuring out the logistics of room sharing (we have a three bedroom house so one of the kids is going to end up sharing). 

Oh, and I am also diagnosed with severe Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Depression. The hormones of early pregnancy always mess with my anxiety in particular, and I'm already dealing with the effects of that. So I'm just trying to figure out how to manage my symptoms without medication. Done it before, I can do it again.

When did you find out?

Dec 26th. Would have found out Chridtmas morning but our luggage, and my tests, got delayed


What symptoms are you experiencing?

Constant, mild nausea. Possible an increased appetite too

How far along?

3w 5d


Any anxiety, fear, or questions brewing??

None, I'm surprisingly chill. Just the normal "I really hope this sticks" thoughts but with my last pregnancy I had pretty bad cramping at this point which scared me but none this time so I'm much more relaxed.

JVW731

When did you find out? 12/27

What symptoms are you experiencing?sore boobs, some tiredness & more frequent urination

How far along? Just under 4 weeks based on my lmp.

Any anxiety, fear, or questions brewing??more shock & excitement then anxiety & fear.

mommytimesfour

When did you find out? This morning!

What symptoms are you experiencing? I'm still really early so not many symptoms yet, just sore boobs and some cramping.

How far along? 3w3d

Any anxiety, fear, or questions brewing??
A little nervous to add baby #3 to the mix and shake up our good little routine we have going on now, but overall I'm pretty excited and confident that everything will work out.

Smashbox29

When did you find out? This morning 12/27! 9dpo

What symptoms are you experiencing? Still early so only sore nipples and maybe peeing more frequently.

How far along? 3 weeks and 2 days. I feel super early so I will be testing until I miss AF to make sure this isn't a CP.

Any anxiety, fear or questions brewing?
Like stated above I am nervous this isn't sticky bean yet. I been testing since 7dpo and I am afraid of a CP. I never been pregnant before so it's all new to me.

Just want to make it to AF expected day and not start.

JVW731

This will be baby #3 for us too. @JLmama118 Congrats!

foxxytwt

I poas on the 23rd and got my beta done on Christmas Eve to confirm

Heart burn already and I want hot wings constantly. I would normally get mild buffalo fingers but no I was HOT wings, which isn't helping the heartburn

4 weeks 1 days

We already started the name debates luckily were pretty much on the same page and know we have a ton of time. We used our #1 boy name with DS and I don't know if there's another boy name I'll like as much

Tues the 22nd 

Super sniffer... (the main reason I tested) I can smell everything,  like a mile away. Light period type cramping on and off. More tire but not too bad.  Kinda basking in the no morning sickness. ..but I probably have a week or two before it hits. 

4 week 4 days

I'm just trying to stay positive and keep my normal routine all though I've already switched to low impact workouts. As I said in my intro...  My second pregnancy, after a textbook perfect pregnancy/birth with my first , I lost my son 19 weeks along. after that loss my next pregnancy came with complications and I was high risk and it was a very scary pregnancy. So now i am just trying to be aware of my body and be positive this will not have t he same complications.

What symptoms are you experiencing?
Cramping, waves of nausea, and are breasts

How far along? According to Ovia 4w4d with an EDD of 9/1/16

Any anxiety, fear, or questions brewing??
I had major anxiety over my cramps over the weekend. I went to urgent care and they did a beta on Thursday and it was only 68, but yesterday it was up to 170! Yahoo!

jilligirl16

1. I found out on Christmas morning! What a gift!

2. My symptoms are: fatigue, moodiness, sore nipps.

3. I am apparently about four weeks or almost 4 weeks. I have two different apps telling me two different things.

4. I guess I am most anxious about being pregnant and tired while having a 9 1/2 month old to look after. I really hope that I can keep up with him.

sareej521

Hello ladies, glad to have some others along with me on this wonderful journey!

I found out Christmas day that we are pregnant again!

As far as symptoms go I definitely have some cramping, giant boobs that are growing more and more sore each passing day, increase in acne, fatigue and ITCHINESS! (ugh!)

Im 4w 3D and due September 2nd

After 2 losses this summer I've been having a really hard time trying to ignore the cramping. I know it happened almost the entire pregnancy with my daughter and she's a happy healthy 2.5 year old but it's always hard to put those fears to rest. I just really want to give her a sibling... So far I feel really good about this pregnancy though which something just felt off with the 2 this summer, fingers crossed we get our rainbow!

JennM205

Hi all!

I found out 12/22 that we are expecting LO #2!

Symptoms - Fatigue, fatigue, fatigue...though that could also be partially due to 5 straight days with my family over the holidays.

I am 4w4d, due 9/1.

My current anxieties are pretty general right now...hoping for a healthy pregnancy and baby...apprehensive of the transition from one LO to two... But I'm also just really happy and excited to be expecting again!

Sarafuss

When did you find out?  10dpo, Christmas Eve.  I had a few squinters before then but I got a positive digital on Christmas Eve.

What symptoms are you experiencing?  Mild cramping, RLP.  That's about it so far.

How far along? 4w1d

Any anxiety, fear, or questions brewing??  Well, I had my first beta yesterday and the nurse called with the results that afternoon and was very gloom and doom.  My hcg was 49 and she said it isn't as high as they like it to be and it could be a chemical pregnancy.  Which really pissed me off.  49 isn't that low and this is my 4th pregnancy (3rd with this RE clinic) and they have always said that they want it between 50 and 100 at 14dpo.  I don't know how you can determine that it might be a chemical without a second beta to compare it to.  But she has me all freaked out and I keep going to the restroom to check for spotting (none) and every cramp is causing me anxiety.  And cramping is fine at this point!  Anyway, I took another FRER this morning and it is much darker than it was two days ago when I last tested (and the test line is as dark as the control line) so that has calmed me down.  I'm going to be so mad if she has me stressed over nothing.  I plan to talk to the nurse about it after my second beta on Wednesday.  

izzetoot

@Sarafuss thats so annoying, im sorry That happened to me last pregnancy so I purposefully waited over the weekend to go in for blood work hoping the numbers would be higher bc I was further along. Im STILL waiting for results. Hoping your numbers triple by Wed and agree that darker lines mean something is getting stronger! Hang in there mama!

KatBH

That's terrible @Sarafuss ! My beta on 13dpo was way lower than that at 27 and they said it was a little low, but as long as it increased 3 days later it was okay.

Sarafuss

Thanks @izzetoot and @KatBH!  @izzetoot when do you think you will get your results?  Update when you do!

izzetoot

They said "in the morning" I tried calling once already and it went to voicemail! Im trying to wait another 15 mins before calling again

duchessofravity

4w5d following a frozen embryo transfer on 12/16. Started testing 12/22 got a faint pos 12/23, beta 32 on 12/24 and 183 on 12/27. Hoping this one sticks. Super nervous after 5 ivf transfers and a chemical over a year ago. This is our first. Edd 9/1

We should check in daily. You don't have to post but it will keep this tidy if you post here when you want to.

My boobs are huge. I blame it on the estrogen and progesterone shots. Soreness i blame on the little squishy.

Emillz5

When did you find out?
Last night, when I was 2 days late.

What symptoms are you experiencing?
My stomach just feels weird after I eat, and I am having some cramping. My boobs kind of hurt.

How far along? 
4 weeks 2 days

Any anxiety, fear, or questions brewing??
It just doesn't feel real yet! I am so excited and also anxious. I feel like I have a lot of planning to do
