@MyNamesTaken same thing happened to me...and I still can't get What to Expect....to stop sending me emails about my Nov 16 baby that I don't have. It is totally a sucker punch...sorry mama
@rainafire77 i am so sorry love. You shouldnt have found out that way.
@MyNamesTaken that happened to me with my 1st PG for what was supposed to be my Jan 16 baby. I cried that whole day bc i also had just had a chemical pregnancy.
@Texafornian log into whattoexpect and go to your settings and you should be able to "delete" stuff.
@HollyGolightly09 i had some cramps lately also, typically 1 sided but then i have a BM and it goes away. But before i realized the correlation i was freaking out. It sucks how many "normal" symptoms are also "scary" symptoms and theres almost no way to differentiate until it's too late.
sidenote...if i make it thru today with no spotting...MOST PREGNANT EVER day!
@lahearn18 Congratulations!! All my fingers are crossed for you and your LO!
Last night messed with my head so badly. I'm on monostat and probiotics because I have some kind of infection, and last night I had a few clumps of orange-y CM. I did my research, and chances are it's just from the infection, not blood, because there was no hint of color anywhere but the CM, but it still messed with my mind all night. On top of that, I had cramps on and off all night, though I'm 99% they're from gas. Either way, I woke up this morning convinced I was going to find blood and that would be the end of it. Which obviously didn't happen, but my brain is still in overdrive. And I really need a nap.
@amandarene112 thanks love. and ugh that would totally mess me up too! i feel like everytime i go to the restroom i am mentally preparing myself to see blood.
Has anyone's round ligament pain lasted all day? I sneezed really hard this morning, and was screaming from the pain it hurt so bad on my right side, and it's been 8 hours and it's still killing me.
@healtherwilson321 how far along are you? I would touch base with your doc. I had some abdominal pain when i was stretching/trying to pop my back the other day, and sometimes when i sneeze, but nothing that lasted more than a brief few moments.
Hi, I'm Kim! How far along are you? 8 weeks and 3 days
How are you doing? (Mentally, physically...) Physically great! No issues. Mentally - still getting my head wrapped around this whole thing. I am 39 and my husband is 52. He has two kids (20 and 18) so this was a little bananas.... :-)
When is your next appointment? Wednesday, Feb 15 (10 weeks)
Rant/Rave/Questions? My husband is DYING to know the baby's sex ASAP (which we can after 10 week tests) but if it were up to me I wouldn't find out until birth. I am trying to get him to wait a bit (the doc will know but we don't have to) but he really wants to know (not sure why). I am thinking maybe i can delay him and be like "oh gee, yeah the doctor called but I haven't called back..." (yeah right!) ;-)
GTKY: What did you want to be when you were little? Is it at all similar to what you actually do? When i was 5 years old i told everyone when i grew up I wanted to be a WIFE. I always wanted to be married - and I am! I never really thought about kids - and when i met my husband and he had two i figured, "well - i guess this worked out!" - little did i know, i was destined to have my own. :-) As for job, I work full time as a corporate recruiter - but I work from home 5 days a week (yeah, I'm lucky). I don't think any little girl says "when i grow up, I want to be a recruiter!" (haha!) but it's good work and I love it.
@lahearn18 I already had an ultrasound scheduled for today. Baby's doing good, but the pain is because I have 2 giant corpus luteal cysts on my right side, one is 5 cm and the other 2 cm. She said when I sneezed they probably got jostled really good. Baby's measuring right on track though! 7w4d, heartbeat 158!
@rainafire77 I gasped reading that. I am so so incredibly sorry. I'm furious with how this is being handled and my heart breaks for you. Love and hugs to you. Thoughts and prayers.

okay so i just want to say i love our PGAL group here, and I am really sad for the recent losses. Like forreal, this sucks seeing the losses, especially because I know what it is like to be the one posting it. I told DH that i have strange internet friends that I really like, and he just looked at me like I grew an antler lol. So love to you all, and FX for sticky sticky babies. (I am for some odd reason in a really good mood today, let's see how long this lasts)
@lahearn18 Me too! So thankful for all of you... I was telling DH I told y'all about me telling him we could have sex if he didn't jostle me, and he gave me quite the side eye, lol.
@lahearn18 ditto. It's funny, I was a part of the Nov 16 board and totally didn't get involved at first because I wanted to be far along enough to be "sure." Ironically...that pregnancy was my first (and I pray ONLY) loss. This time I'm kind of like you know what? F it! I'm going in with the mindset that this baby WILL stick damn it and therefore I'm participating. Obviously still cautious but at least I know y'all are here to Internet hug me should the worst occur. And I think that's the beauty of this group...we all get it, the ups and downs etc. pregnancy is such a different experience when you're carrying a rainbow.
I've legit teared up with all of the recent losses as I just feel so dang much for mama's that go through that trauma and especially when it's not the first occurrence. I just want sticky babies and happy families all around...
Edited: @HollyGolightly09 I hope you told him oral was off the table unless he wants a barf bath!
@HollyGolightly09 I was kind of mean this morning after my shower...I waltzed out all naked and asked, "are you SURE these don't look bigger?" Bahaha. Look but no touch hombre.
Yes! I like our BMB as a whole, and I love this group. Knowing you guys know exactly what I'm going through, and having both your support and experience has been so meaningful already, I can't imagine how I'll feel in seven months!
I'm with you on the #bigboobproblems train...but they at least used to be perky! It's like DD1 sucked the life out of them...I went back to the same bra size but there's space in the top of my bra now...sigh
Ugh, I am being really ridiculous and hormonal about my boobs right now to the point where DH thinks I'm being melodramatic. I'm a solid size D, so not huge, but big enough, and they've always been really perky. I cried in the bathroom the yesterday when I found my pasties because I realized I may never be able to go braless again. It made me irrationally sad!
I was a b cup before DS and am again a B cup but now just like flat B cups like a whoopie cushion, I will most definitely be getting a boob job after I have and breastfeed my babies, I've always wanted one anyways cuz ya know #ittybittytittycommittee
@amandarene112 I'm a solid D and I'm yea no...I can't go braless anymore. In fact ,I know I fail the pencil test as is but pretty sure I can hold 2-4 pencils in place now lol
@Texafornian Haha, I often stick a pen of pencil in my cleavage while I'm working because it's convenient, and I always lose my pens. At least I'll be able to keep track of multiple writing utensils at once.
Another fellow itty bitty titty committee member here. I had no boobs pre-pregnancy, as in trainer's As fit great. Thanks to baby I am up to a B cup now much to DH's delight. Still cannot hold anything between or under my boobs though.
