I've already updated for this week but I made what I feel is a personal victory today. I pulled out the box I kept from my first pregnancy that had my maternity jeans and (score!) a couple of maternity tops. I also ran across the picture album I started and the pics of the bfp. It was a little sad for me, but I'm not dwelling on the negative. I did run across a baby book though(kind of a generic what to expect when your expecting book) so that was a nice find.
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms) Today I feel pregnant. Nausea check. Sore boobs check. Heartburn check. Strong desire to take a nap for the next 7 months check.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) Anxiety is around an 8 today. This weekend was pretty bad though. My nausea disappeared Saturday- which is nerve wrecking to go from feeling sick all the time to fine one day. Luckily Monday it came back and has been joined by heartburn. I made my next couple of appointments yesterday and that brought on some extra anxiety too. My OB wants an extra ultrasound at 10 weeks since that's when I lost my 2nd pregnancy (my first was lost during week 8 which is this week- so fun times for the next month). I scheduled my NT scan for the 23rd and just scheduling that appointment filled me with anxiety. I found out about both miscarriages during this appointment, so it is an anxiety trigger for me.
4. When is your first or next appointment? My 10 week ultrasound is June 15th My 2nd OB visit is June 21st My NT scan is June 23rd
5. Rants/raves/whatever My husband's family is pissing me off. We have been to 2 family events since finding out we were pregnant. We have had 2 miscarriages and do not want to tell anyone about this pregnancy until we are in the 2nd trimester at the earliest. His aunt and uncle (who are the same age as my husband) would not leave us alone asking about it and congratulating us. I'm at the point now that I don't want to see them during this pregnancy or any other future ones. Why can't they just talk about me not drinking behind my back and speculate. I find is so obnoxious to make a big deal about something when the couple clearly doesn't want to discuss.

@LilLynch2015 wtf! Do they know about your losses? If they don't, it may be a swell time to educate them on the reasons your don't ask if someone is pregnant.
Hi everyone….. I am 8 weeks after having previous CP in October and MC at 7 weeks in February. This will be our first baby. Had my first appointment at 6 weeks 3 days ( thought we were 7 weeks) and saw a heartbeat which was sooo reassuring. 2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms) This week I'm sick. Went to the dr on Tuesday as I have a tendency to get bronchitis and started to have similar feelings of tightness in my chest. On an inhaler and robutussin as needed but hoping to avoid needing anything else. Pretty freaked out by it since I had bad bronchitis leading up to my miscarriage in February.
Pregnancy symptoms wise, my boobs are pretty sore and were up a cup size by last week. I hadn't had any nausea prior to this week, but have coughed until I vomited twice this week. Not sure if its part morning sickness or just bronchitis Robutussin makes me nauseous so no clue.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) I'll feel better after my next appointment and after this cold or bronchitis is gone.
4. When is your first or next appointment? Next appointment is Friday. I have a seriously understanding OB who offered me a 2 week check-in for a HB check just to ease my nerves.
It makes me happy to see so many good updates from people here!
Checking in a little late:
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms) Not much new as far as symptoms go. My nips are sore and I don't have much of an appetite. Funny thing is though I do eat a regular size meal when I do sit down to eat. When reading other posts here I found myself in agreement often with those of you saying you have such little energy. I have little motivation to do much and I'm so tired!
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) Ugh. I'm just feeling so negative right now. I feel like this will be another loss and I will never get to have another baby. With ds, I had major reflux started by now and I don't have it yet. With all of my losses, I never had reflux. That is my gauge on how my pregnancy is progressing even though I know symptoms can be different for different pregnancies.
4. When is your first or next appointment? Tomorrow! I will be getting an u/s at 10:00 a.m. I'm sooo nervous. It's been a long time since I've seen a good u/s and I just don't know how I would be able to handle things if the news isn't good tomorrow.
5. Rants/Raves Big kudos to DH for picking up my slack around here with cooking and taking care of DS. They are outside playing as I am camped out on the couch.

@RocksInTheWater I'm sorry you're feeling negative today. FX for great news tomorrow! I'll be thinking of you. Let us know how it goes!
I have a mini rant about H. I got home today and complained that I feel 10x more bloated in the evenings compared to mornings. His response? "You definitely are looking more...uh...stout from the side." STOUT. Wth H? Haha, I can't quit laughing because it's totally true, I am definitely thicker than the usual, but I feel like there had to be a better term than stout.

@cjs260 men are dumbasses. Haha. DH told me he thought I gained 5-7 lbs. fast forward to my OB appointment where I actually lost 2. The bloat at night like you mentioned is insane!
ThePax89 they do know about my loses and my husband brought it up again when they were relentlessly questioning him. His aunt then went on to say she had 8 miscarriages. I'm sorry but even before I had my first lost I knew that you didn't question people on possible pregnancies (especially someone you know has a history of loss). So it makes me wonder if she is lying about having had miscarriages (and why would anyone do that) or if she is just literally the most obnoxious person alive.
RocksInTheWater I forgot about that video. It's a classic and amazing. Good luck today!
@LilLynch2015 nobody who had 8 miscarriages would ever talk like that. I've had 2 and tread lightly around the topic. Maybe she's had 8 "I feel pregnant, but my period came, and my tests were negative". I pray she didn't have 8. That's terrible.
US went great! HR was 173. They adjusted my dates by one day, which gives me the due date that Fertility Friend gave me when I was tracking. Which made me go
Now I just have to figure out how to change my ticker. It was a stroke of beginners luck that I got it sorted in the first place...
@LiLynch2015 I also call BS on their 8 MC claims. No way you could be that cavalier about it after going through 8 losses. I'm betting it was "oh, that was a really heavy, crampy period. Maybe..."
@aca12017@cjs260@susykat77@ceclarlinetlo THANK YOU! Oh man, I am so glad I joined the bump so I have some place that I can go to exclaim like a crazy idiot! Otherwise I'd be accosting random people on the street to tell them my good news, just to get it out of my system...
@cjs260@LoneStar21416@ceclarlinetlo@poetryandoceans Thanks everyone! i couldn't really see the HB today but our dr did and said it looks good we did an ultrasound 2 weeks ago that was much better quality. Today was at the office rather than separately and they used a US machine that seemed pretty old and didn't have the best quality. Either way it was still reassuring. Back in 2 weeks for a regular appointment and then onto monthly visits I think . Starting antibiotics today so hopefully that will help me kick this bronchitis.
@aca12017 I'm glad you felt reassured and it sounds like the doc and you have a good relationship that you feel comfortable enough to trust his/her judgement
Sorry for the late update >.< been trying to distract myself this week and not obsess over pregnancy. It makes me too nervous I just want to get to the scan.
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms) Just tired that seems to be the only symptom that reassures me I'm pregnant at this point. A few waves of nausea but nothing to really complain of. The biggest thing is that after being on pelvic rest and making sure to take things really easy my bleeding has finally slowed and now it's only when I wipe thank goodness. So I have managed to be patient and wait for my appointment.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) Okay I think, luckily it was a busy week here and I was busy doing things all week so the time passed quickly. I have also been snatching a few hours of sleep every evening when DH is home to watch DS I just cannot make it through the day without a nap.
4. When is your first or next appointment? I have successfully managed to be patient and my appointment is June 9th but I am sooo ready for it to be here I just want to know that everything is okay. I am going to ask for another U/S at 10 weeks just to make sure that is when we found out about our MMC so I just to have that reassurance.
5. Rants/raves/whatever DH is being a butt head he keeps getting grumpy over my naps and complains that I am making dinner too late. I sleep when he gets home for 2-3 hours. I just wish he would stop complaining about dinner and make it for himself for once.
