I have an ultrasound scheduled for tmw. I'm sorry nervous.. with my first pregnancy, after the excitement set in I knew something was wrong and sure enough we miscarried. With my daughter i felt so yucky, I never worried about whether or not I was actually pregnant. This time, I mostly feel fine (just extremely tired. But no food aversions) and that is making me worry something is wrong. I just want to see/hear a heart beat tomorrow!!

First sonogram today and everything looked great! Ruled out ectopic pregnancy! Heard the heartbeat and measured at 6 weeks 2days. 1 day more than my LMP, so they left my due date at January 24th. Now I'll just have my regular check ups at 8,12, etc. so happy we got to see the baby today!!

Had mine last week but i didn't update anyone. Becuase im "low risk" (younger than 35. No previous losses. No health issues) i just visited with the RN for my first appointment. So when i went in the RN that i saw is the one I'll be seeing alot. She is my contact person if i have any questions/concerns. The one who will contact me etc. Anyway...i get there and i friggen know this nurse personally. She used to work with me (im a nurse). She didn't realize it because we worked together before i got married and i changed my last name. She asked if i was ok with it I'm like "yea I'm ok with it if you are. " she laughed and congratulated me i was like "well congrats you are the first person i know personally I've told im pregnant." it went alright it wasn't awkward. I mostly had alot of questions asked about my health/family history. Had some labs drawn and had to pee in a cup. My UA came back i have a mild UTI so they are currently running cultures before putting me on antibiotics. Doctor said it was ok to wait until those came back since i was asymptomatic and she would rather prescribe me the right antibiotic than have me on the wrong one and have to take a different one later. No ultrasound or heartbeat done. I will hear heartbeat at end of june. Probably have UA redone at that point too. Maybe sooner? Not really sure when I'll have to pee in a cup again.

I have my first OB appt since being released from the RE this Friday.  So ready for it but also anxious because I have no idea what to expect.  I have been with my RE for so long! lol!

So I had my 1st appointment and ultrasound this afternoon. Wasn't sure of my LMP and I had my IUD taken out April 11th. So I was assuming I got preggo instantly and was about 8/9 weeks along. 

My doctor thought I was probably 6 weeks so we went and did a dating US.... 
I got pregnant while my IUD was still in and had no idea. 
My doctor said wow that's a giant baby lol
12 weeks due December 13
so sad to say I'm moving over to dec 16 bmb! Loved hanging with you ladies! Good luck everyone!!

So I had my first appt today with the RN and CNM. They remembered me from my first pregnancy so that was sweet. The midwifery practice I go to is crunchy, so no ultrasound. They don't even try for the Doppler this early. Just pee in a cup, a pap I was overdue for, and a pelvic - during which the CNM said oh yep your pregnant lol. 
We talked about genetic testing, which I didn't do last time. I think I am going to do the first tri screening this time around though. 
I'm glad to have the whole process going now. I feel like today was the first step in getting to labor and a newborn.

@ashbozso awe! Baby is so cute! We'll miss you!

@ashbozso What a crazy fun surprise! And you're almost out of the 1st tri, yay! We'll miss you over here. Pop in and say hey from time to time.

I have my first u/s tomorrow.  I need it to go well!  

ceclarlinetlo

@rocksinthewater fx for you!! 

ChaoticWolf

Woah @ashbozso that's an amazing surprise! Good luck in Dec. 16! Did you feel preggo at all when your IUD was still in?

I don't have a medical appointment until the 17th, but I am going to view the childcare center at my work tomorrow for an information session and to check on tuition prices and age minimums for attending. Since I work on a college campus there's a daycare on site for students and staff, and its staffed really well and has a phenomenal rating online, but it also has long waiting lists to get in. So yay for practical planning.

Thank you!!

I had my first appointment today. That moment when you see your little baby and are so relieved it's not just in your head- the best. I measured a couple days ahead so I'm 8 weeks today and due Jan 11th. Heartrate was 167 and strong. I was given a different prescription for my severe nausea. Hoping it helps!

stumptownmama

@ashbozo wow! Great surprise! Kind of nice to fly through the first tri! 

mrskimm09

@ashbozso how awesome! Congrats. H&H9!!  

HairBossMama

@PaukMeKiande no I didn't at all. I actually thought there were twins in there because I was so nauseous and tired at my calculation of 4 weeks pregnant lol 
also because my stomach was showing more. Thanks guys I will def check in on you, hoping for quick and safe 1st trimesters to you all!

I made an early appointment to discuss meds and my blood type and risk for multiples. My "first" appointment is scheduled for June 14th, it'll be an education session I guess, then I have my first US on June 22nd!!! I can't wait! I just want to see/hear the baby to confirm all is well. I'm really anxious to know if I have only 1 baby or 2 or many. Last cycle I was on fertility drugs (lupron, menopure, ganarelix) and doctor said they shouldn't affect future cycles, but some people said it can increase the chance of multiples, so I'm nervous. Symptoms are still very mild, so I'm thinking it's just 1. They did a urine test to confirm the pregnancy, so that was cool having the OB say "you're pregnant!"
