Due July 17th I found out really really early lol

christycalifornia

@jb2609 Wow! I retract my statement! Good on ya!

powellgirl

I’m due July 16th, I also found out super early @jb2609! I already had my yearly appointment scheduled for next Wednesday, so I guess that will technically be my first.

I had the same feeling in my abdomen that I had with my first, so I knew I was pregnant again.

I’m so excited to know this early, but at the same time it’s so much longer until we can tell people!

DH was at work when I found out so when he got home I asked him if he had plans for July 16th. He looked at me like I was crazy lol and asked what for. I told him it sounded like a good day to have a baby!

What's your EDD? How big is baby? July 15, 2018! 

How are you feeling? Any specific symptoms yet? Nope

Any appointments scheduled? Nope, but I called to schedule the first appointment, I think I'll have to wait 4 more weeks.

Rants/Raves? I'm sooooooo excited!

Questions? Nope

GTKY: How did you tell your SO? Yesterday I had a really faint positive, I told H I thought it was positive and showed him, he wasn't sure he saw anything. This morning I took 2 tests, I just said, look I think these are really positive! He's happy, we've been talking about baby #2 for a while but the whole thing this morning was pretty anticlimactic  lol.

What's your EDD? How big is baby? July 16 

How are you feeling? Any specific symptoms yet?

Pretty good so far, little tired but that could also be because I’m always chasing my 18m DD 

Any appointments scheduled? 

Not yet, will call once we get back from vacation 

Rants/Raves?

So excited, it still hasn’t fully hit me. 

Questions?

GTKY: How did you tell your SO?
I woke him up as soon as I POS to tell him before I left for work. It was a very faint line so I tested again that day and the next to make sure. 

djh513

What's your EDD? How big is baby? July 17 I believe. 

How are you feeling? Any specific symptoms yet? A little tired, but that’s it. 

Any appointments scheduled? I will be calling my midwife tomorrow. 

Rants/Raves? I am feeling a little anxious about this pregnancy. Not sure why. And I’m worried about breastfeeding/weaning my Nov 16 baby. 

Questions? None. 

GTKY: How did you tell your SO? We were getting family pictures yesterday morning for DS one year. I tested positive that morning so I had our photographer bring a chalkboard that said “This birthday boy is going to be a big brother!” and she brought it out to use as a prop. My husband was so surprised (it was our first month trying)... we got some cute pictures!

Waiting on all the July 15-21 people to join us...

Hi everyone! I didn't see this thread until just now!

What's your EDD? How big is baby? July 15th, a poppy seed

How are you feeling? Any specific symptoms yet? Physically I feel pretty good! A little tired and some random nausea, but nothing other than that. Mentally, well that is a different story.

Any appointments scheduled? I go back to the RE next Wednesday the 15th for a scan and another round of bloodwork.

Rants/Raves? This still all just seems so surreal, and I am having some trouble letting myself get excited. It was a long journey to get here, with some bumps along the way. Sometimes I almost wish I could just fast forward to second tri so that I could feel a little more in the clear.

Questions? Not that I can think of right now.

GTKY: How did you tell your SO? At this point in the game doing anything cutesy was kind of out the window. DH was probably more anxious waiting for the call back than I was. He had happened to run out to check the mail when I did finally get the results, so I basically just met him at the door on his way back in with ugly cry face and "I'm pregnant". He immediately just pulled me in to hug me, and this was the 3rd time I have ever seen him tear up in the close to 15 years that we have known each other.

@Pinky917, hi due date twin! 

tgortney

What's your EDD? How big is baby?

July 16, according to LMP. Poppy seed, maybe

How are you feeling? Any specific symptoms yet?

Mentally, I’m struggling with this pregnancy due to being PGAL but physically, I’m fine other than some bloating.

Any appointments scheduled?

None yet. TBH, I’m freaking out about being in FL on vacation right now because I’m in/going to be in the 2 cities that have had Zika cases this year. So I’m getting me and DH tested ASAP when I get back home.

Rants/Raves?
I’m already getting getting hot thinking about a summer third trimester lol

Questions?

GTKY: How did you tell your SO?
I’m on vacation right now without DH, he’s coming down today but when I found out, I had to tell him via FaceTime. Boo.

djh513

@tgortney Yes, the third tri summer is going to be rough! My first baby was a November 16 baby so everything I knew is going to be flip-flopped this time. 

The other thing I can’t imagine is a summer maternity leave. DS and I cocooned in the house during my winter mat leave.

My DD is an October 15 baby, I was pregnant during a HOT summer but I loved living in flowy maxi dresses. Now I'm like crap am I going to need to wear pants and stuff?

trying to enjoy every moment of this pregnancy and almost forgot how hard and worrying it is 

Questions?

GTKY: How did you tell your SO?
over the phone unfortunately because he saw me about to take the test as he had to run out for work. Wish I could have a bit more of an exciting announcement 

dreamalways

What’s your EDD? How big is baby?
Going off of ovulation, July 20.(Which is my sons birthday, so I am hoping for a different day ha ha) Chia seed.

How are you feeling? Any specific symptoms yet?
Nauseous at times. And sore boobs. I’m ready to know how baby is And hoping everything is going to go good.

Any appointments scheduled?
Not yet. I am waiting for my husbands insurance to kick in. His employers were suppose to have it going the beginning of last month. I hope they get their act together soon!

Rants/Raves?
Just annoyed with my husbands work right now... but hopefully it will get situated soon.

Questions?

GTKY: How did you tell your SO?
He knew that I would be taking a test and texted me once he got to work. I wanted to do something cute this time, seeing how this is the last one, but that didn’t happen.

What's your EDD? How big is baby? July 15

How are you feeling? Any specific symptoms yet?

Gas and bloating
Super sore boobs
Hunger and... Hanger
Adversion to favorite foods 
Pimples
Exhaustion and when I'm awake I'm no, its like I'm super-caffeinated (which I'm not..)

Any appointments scheduled? 

11/30!

Rants/Raves?

Why isnt it acceptable to nap at work?!?!

GTKY: How did you tell your SO?

I told him I thought I was, tested early and had no line. Waited until a few days before my period and he was the one that couldn't wait for the time to go off. Quickly after testing it turned to the pregnant line and he told me. Still a shock even though I had the inkling. He's gotten sappier every day since getting it. It's fairly adorable and complete opposite of how it was with my DS.

mrsj1215

Estimated due date is July 15th! Baby is the size of a poppyseed.

I am feeling excited, but have been battling a cold for the last week. My boobs are sore& I have had some back pain. Also have felt very emotional today.

My first appointment is 11/21. So ready!!

No rants. Raves- just so excited about what's to come!!

I took a pregnancy test(DH didn't even know I had bought one yet). I got up and took it before he even woke up! I was going to try to think of something cutesy to do, but when I got that positive I was just so excited. I ran in our room and shook him, and said your going to want to wake up and see this! He woke up and looked at the test and jumped out if bed and hugged me!!

@mrsj1215  That is so sweet! 

mrsj1215

Thank you @kat029! So is yours! It's just all so exciting!

What's your EDD? How big is baby?  7/21/17

How are you feeling? Any specific symptoms yet?  Cautiously optimistic (darned PGAL brain)  No symptoms - it’s a little weird that taking estrogen pills and sticking progesterone suppositories up there are what’s keeping baby in place.

Any appointments scheduled?  First u/s next Tuesday AM - but we won’t see much so early, I was advised it’s just to make sure things are where they’re supposed to be.

Rants/Raves?  Just happy to be here

Questions?  None, thanks

GTKY: How did you tell your SO?  This was an IVF FET, so while hardly guaranteed, it was a little less of a surprise.  Two days before beta I POAS, and I just put one of those cheesy “Guess What?  I’m going to be a big sister!” bandanas on the dog.  Of course, because the dog gets so excited when DH gets home from work she was bouncing all over the place and he couldn’t read it immediately.

Hi due date friends! My EDD is 7/16/18 and our first appointment is 12/4. I can't wait!!!! I found out last Tuesday morning and went to Target after work to get my husband a gift!

tgortney

@djh513 my DS was a May 16 baby and we stayed inside ALL the time because it was so flippin’ hot.

@runsomewhere I have to wear pants because my job requires it for safety reasons. I was in third tri with DS for Feb, March and April and basically wanted to die from April heat.... I live in NC

Luckily, I will be taking 3 months off for Mat leave so that’s exciting! When I get back, it’ll be the start of the holidays with Halloween!

What's your EDD? How big is baby?
July 19th based on LMP, Poppy seed! 

How are you feeling? Any specific symptoms yet?
Feeling okay - a little light headed at times, and am out of breath every time I go up our stairs.  I've also been getting pinchy cramps and am so tired!! 

Any appointments scheduled?
Just saw my GP yesterday, and she gave me the run down!  Had my blood work done this morning and have scheduled my first ultrasound for January 5!!! Can't wait!  I'm so shocked that I don't need to see anybody now until then... my GP was like "yeah, nothing really happens in early pregnancy"... I figured I'd be there all the time lol.

Rants/Raves?
None

Questions?
None yet! 

GTKY: How did you tell your SO?
I just woke him up and I was bawling my eyes out - then he looked at the test at it was faint so he didn't believe me.  I still think he doesn't believe it lol.. I showed him a darker positive from yesterday and he is finally coming around.

comealongponds

What's your EDD? How big is baby? - July 18, poppy seed

How are you feeling? Any specific symptoms yet? - I think I'm occasionally nauseous but it might be in my head. Minor cramping/awareness of my uterus. 

Any appointments scheduled? - bloodwork and dating US in a couple weeks, probably the last week of this month 

Rants/Raves? - reeeeeally hoping I have a nice, easy pregnancy like last time but I'd like this baby (oh please let there only be one) to stay put to closer to term

Questions? - nope

GTKY: How did you tell your SO?  - I told him before I went for a shower after work to make me a drink when I came back down. Took the test on a whim and was shocked it was positive. When I went back down I told him I guess he better just get me a rye-free coke and showed him the test. 

djh513

@comealongponds I also had such an easy pregnancy with my November 2016 baby but, like you, he came early at 36 weeks - hoping for at least an extra week this time. How about you?!

comealongponds

@djh513 my boys were 33 weekers so I'm really hoping to make to to at least 36 but preferably 38!

Not really

Any appointments scheduled?

December 6th- first appointment

Rants/Raves?

Very excited. First time pregnancy.  

Questions?

GTKY: How did you tell your SO?
He was still sleeping in bed when I took the pregnancy test.  I just leaned over to him and bed and whispered "Guess what...I'm pregnant"

What's your EDD? How big is baby? July 17, 2018 based on LMP!! 

How are you feeling? Any specific symptoms yet? I feel excited and also have been nauseous since week 4. 

Any appointments scheduled? first OB/midwife appointment on Dec 6.

Rants/Raves? nope, just happy right now  

Questions? not yet 

GTKY: How did you tell your SO? I was in a Florida for work when I found out so I ordered this “Hello Daddy” onesie for him online, put it in a box with my positive pregnancy test when I got home and told him I brought him back a present. His reaction was amazing! He was so ecstatic.

What's your EDD? How big is baby?
July 16, according to LMP. 

How are you feeling? Any specific symptoms yet?
So far so good. Had some cramping off and on for a couple of weeks, but that seems to have subsided. Normally crazy morning sickness has settled in at this point so knock on wood we’re not there yet. I had HG with DS so maybe my body is giving me a break this time around. It’s just a little nerve wracking not having that normal symptom, though.

Any appointments scheduled?
I have an intake appointment Tues (the 28) then my first prenatal on Dec 13.

Rants/Raves?
This is baby number three and I’m feeling more anxious than the first time around when I was PGAL. I don’t know if it’s the lack of early symptoms or what, but my first U/S can’t come soon enough. Also, DH is convinced it’s twins and he’s been right about the sex of both DD and DS so I’m internally freaking out. Lol. 

Questions?

GTKY: How did you tell your SO?
It was an “oh sh*t I’m late” moment. Nothing cutesy here, it was too much of a surprise.

just a reminder we are moving away from
the due date check ins to ticker day check in due to board vote feeling as though there were too many check ins
