nugget2ehf

when are you due? Oct. 11th

how are you feeling? Fine for the most part. Besides being tired and crampy and a little bloated. I did have sore boobs but that pretty much went away. And I keep thinking I might be nauseous but I chug water and end up feeling better, so I don't think that's really started yet.

when is your first/next appointment/ultrasound? March 1st for first appt and ultrasound at 8 wks

any questions or concerns? All the questions, but otherwise just can't wait for the appointment and to be able to tell people after first tri

GTKY: if you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Probably pizza. Or potatoes made any way = ultimate comfort food

breanneestafford1

when are you due?
I think Oct 9

how are you feeling?
Good overall. A little naseous mom and off. Tired. 

when is your first/next appointment/ultrasound?
First apt is 2/22. Can’t wait ! 

any questions or concerns?
Not really. Just anxious for my apt. 

GTKY: if you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? 
Ohhh probably sushi or Mexican. 

chyvie

when are you due?
October 12

how are you feeling?
Overall just tired and sore boobs with lots of gas!

when is your first/next appointment/ultrasound?
Feb. 19th for an ultrasound at the fertility clinic for my OB referral
 
any questions or concerns?
worried about the sleep loss when the baby comes, as I love my 8-9 hours every night and I sleep like a log.

GTKY: if you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Anything carbs! my total weakness and with PCOS it is so bad for me!

rabtaido1214

when are you due? 10/8

how are you feeling? Nervous, but excited. Physically feeling very bloated, very slight nausea. Intermittent cramping. Pain when laying down in bed for about a half hour, then goes away. Cramping and pain seem to favor the right side.

when is your first/next appointment/ultrasound? 10/7 is my first appointment (~10 weeks), but the ultrasound may not be until almost 20 weeks, which I am not loving. I really want to know there is a heart beat and it is not ectopic.

any questions or concerns? Aside from something that would land me in an ER (I.e. crippling pain, bleeding) are there any early signs for ectopic pregnancy?

GTKY: if you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Sushi, and sadly that will be on hold for a while!

sammierose464

when are you due? EDD is 10/12

how are you feeling? meh. Nausea decided to set in today. I'm struggling to get good sleep so I'm tired and cranky. My boobs are super sore.

when is your first/next appointment/ultrasound? First appt is 2/28. I am due for my yearly (was supposed to be 2/14 until I found out I'm pregnant so they moved it two weeks). I've been told it won't be much, which is a little disappointing. I was hoping for an ultrasound.

any questions or concerns?

GTKY: if you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? pizza. always pizza.

nasalot188

@rabtaido1214 im nervous about possible ectopic as well. I've known 2 ppl who have had one. From what I understand they are quite rare. Many of them bleed out on their own without intervention. If you have persistent headaches/sharp pains in one side that don't go away, call your doctor. Even though your ultrasound may be later, they should be able to find a fetal heaetbeat via doppler much ealrier and that should ease your mind

holly_owensmom

when are you due? 10/8

how are you feeling? Ok. A little bloated.

when is your first/next appointment/ultrasound?
Thursday!

any questions or concerns?
ive been spotting. I’m trying not to let it worry me, but it’s hard. 

GTKY: if you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
probably a chipotle burrito bowl. Or any type of Mexican food really. 

pebbledam

when are you due? Oct 11

how are you feeling? Like I'm coming down with a cold.

when is your first/next appointment/ultrasound? March 1 (omg, why is it so far away still!?)

any questions or concerns? Is it really a big deal to clean the litter box?

GTKY: Pizza, pizza, pizza!

@nasalot188 - hi DD buddy!
@kiwi2628 - FX for a heartbeat!!
@hannaht8516 - I love that we have the same DD and appointment date! Do you plan on keeping your appointments on Thursdays?

nugget2ehf

@pebbledam That's so funny! I'm open to any day, but I can try! I know it seems so far away. I made the appointment on February 1 and it seemed soooo far away. Now I keep telling myself we're already almost halfway there. We can make it!

nasalot188

@pebbledam the worry with cat litter is toxoplasmosis which can be contracted through cat feces. I don't think the risk is huge if you're cleaning the box daily...but better safe...And also good excuse to make someone else do it 

kiwi2628

@pebbledam Feline feces can contain toxoplasmosis, which is a parasite that can be transmitted to humans. For most people, even pregnant people, its not a big deal, but can cause a MC in rare cases. Now, toxoplasmosis requires 24+ hours after the defecation to have the ability to aerosolize, and actually more cases of toxo are causes by people gardening (stray/outdoor cats poop in flower beds and it decomposes and as you garden/weed/etc you aerosolize it), but still, better safe than sorry.  Cat urine is very safe to clean, but of course, there are always potential poop particles in the litter, so...yea.

estellegetty

For the October 8-14 due date ladies   

when are you due? This has been kind of tricky since my Endocrinologist and my OBGYN do not seem to agree. According to my LMP I’m due Oct. 12th. I’m hoping to confirm at my sonogram later in the month. 

how are you feeling? So exhausted. I don’t remember being THIS tired with my daughter. I also threw up for the first time tonight...again this didn’t happen with Hannah.  

when is your first/next appointment/ultrasound?
My ultrasound is February 28th! Cannot wait!! 
any questions or concerns? Nope just want to figure out my due date. 

GTKY: if you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Hmmmm Anything Mexican or Sushi. Fun fact: I stopped eating meat when back in 2016 when I was pregnant with my daughter. It grossed me out so much and I’ve never looked back! 

pebbledam

@hannaht8516 - Thursdays work best for my husband, so we'll probably be mostly on Thursdays. So close, but so far away!
@nasalot188, @kiwi2628 - I'm aware about the toxoplasmosis, but I'm more curious about how big the risk is. I have a very finbicky cat that requires a very clean litter box. Although I'm sure I could talk my husband into cleaning it once a day, I'm not sure he would do twice a day like I'm doing. 

jennybean80

@nasalot188 yum! Poutine!!

when are you due?
Oct 14

how are you feeling?
Tired, sore boobs and a touch of nausea

when is your first/next appointment/ultrasound?
I saw my GP today to book ultrasounds and get a referral to an OB (switching practices after my last pregnancy). U/S booked for March 1. 

any questions or concerns?
nope

GTKY: if you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Probably pizza, or roast beef dinner (always with Yorkshire Pudding)

kiwi2628

@pebbledam, if your cat is indoor only and has been most of his life and his poops are normal (not soft), the risk of him having toxo is on the lower side. Is it possible? Of course, I have seen 10 year old indoor cats with toxo (I am a vet if you remember!), but an actively shedding toxo cat is uncommon. Also, many people are actually immune to toxo if they have a cat since they have been exposed to it already.

For me- I know I will probably clean my cats box a few times while pregnant since my H goes on a lot of business trips, so I plan to wear gloves and a mask and wash my hands very well after, but for the most part, he will be cleaning once daily (whether he wants to or not), but that is my comfort level and I know I already have had exposure from work, and will continue to have exposure at work

sammierose464

@estellegetty I feel like we're practically the same person based on things you've posted! My EDD is 10/12 and I have an appt 2/28 too.

nugget2ehf

Today is one of those days where I feel like I'VE ALREADY BEEN PREGNANT FOREVER and I'm only 6 weeks (tomorrow). And I just want to get to my doctors appointment, still two weeks away. And I don't have many symptoms yet (which I know is still fine), but I'm like GAHHH. Anyone else?

kiwi2628

@hannaht8516 I feel you. I feel like its been ages since I got a BFP and I am so ready to tell everyone. As for the other part, that is the literal only positive point about getting pregnant with IVF...so many ultrasounds! I had one today, I have one next week, I have one the week after that and probably the week after that, and bloodwork each time. Its exceedingly reassuring.

nugget2ehf

@kiwi2628 Yes, it feels like it's been ages. Told my husband that the first trimester isn't over til mid April, and that's when we could tell people, and he was like "THAT LONG??". We will tell family after the first appointment, but we're dying to tell people.

But congrats on everything looking great and prayers for the rest of this (ridiculously long but amazing) journey!

joey2831

when are you due?
Oct 8

how are you feeling?
Tired and bloated

when is your first/next appointment/ultrasound?
March 2

any questions or concerns?
I'm high risk due to having preeclampsia and the HELLP syndrome from my first pregnancy

GTKY: if you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?  PIZZA!!!!

acciocoffee

@hannaht8516 We had originally planned to wait until April to tell our families, but I just keep moving it up because I keep telling other people. We will probably tell them in March now. I'm pretty sure I have told about 10 people already though so I might not make it.

bethica83

When are you due?
EDD is Oct 8

How are you feeling?
Not really pregnant. Worst symptom is dry skin so far. I am happy about this! I am a little bloated too but not bad.

When is your first/next dr appointment?
I have an appt this Friday the 16th with my primary and will schedule my first OB appointment then.

Any questions/concerns?
Not really yet... keeping this secret is freaking killing me though. I wanna blab!

GTKY:If you could eat only one meal gor the rest of your life what would it be? Probably burger and fries with a side salad!

nugget2ehf

@acciocoffee Oh same, it'll be a MAJOR accomplishment if everyone doesn't figure it out by then. I'm terrible at lying and I have no poker face. We have a wedding and an engagement party to go to before then, so I'm going to have to practice my fake drinking. Because I can't come up with enough excuses that are believable.

acciocoffee

@hannaht8516 I also just feel like since this is our third pregnancy I don't really need to do some big announcement. I'm fine with people just figuring it out whenever. I don't really care. So I've heard of people saying they are on antibiotics for a sinus infection which is why they can't drink. I'm not a huge drinker so nobody really notices if I don't drink. With DD though I had my work Christmas party to get through and I had the bartender just make me a sprite with a lime in it and nobody seemed to question it. 

bethica83

@hannaht8516 and @acciocoffee I went to stuff wedding invites with my friend and her mom. They drank wine, I had to drink tea. I had my Whole30 reintroduction to fall back on as the reason.

Then my friend straight up asked me how TTC was going and I had to lie to her face.

It was hard but I want to get past the next few weeks yet.

nugget2ehf

@acciocoffee I'm not planning a huge thing either, just want to be further along. But I guess if people start figuring it out in March or so I won't be mad. I plan on just holding a beer or wine and switching off with my husband every once in a while, or filling a beer bottle with water. Or trying the soda with lime. I wouldn't be able to get away with just saying 'no thanks'. I don't drink much, besides at social gatherings I'll at least have one. So my people would notice. Especially when they're already expecting us to have kids anytime. Luckily both our families live in other states so it's not as hard as hiding it from them face to face.

@bethica83 I've so far used that I was already hungover and that I've been having bad heartburn (because I normally have acid reflux). But I won't be able to use those for long. I'll have to fake it. I'm just a terrible liar! 

bethica83

@hannaht8516 my next excuse is that I decided to give up liquid calories for now. Maybe you can use Lent?? I am not religious so my close friends would see through that but thought I'd throw it out there since it starts today.

mandy870

When are you due? October 14

how are you feeling? Huge (I look like I’m more like 5 months than 5 weeks) gassy, bloated, exhausted, uncomfortable. 

when is your first/next appointment/ultrasound?My first appointment is next week. 

any questions or concerns? I’m concerned about this huge bump I already have. I can’t even hide my pregnancy and I already need maternity clothes. People keep telling me it must be twins or I’m further than I think but I had my period in January and NO twins do not run in either of our families!!! This is my second child, maybe that makes a difference? 

GTKY: if you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Pizza

charlie2

Due date: October 14th

How are you feeling? Blah. I’ve started feeling nauseous the past few days, nothing too bad right now, heartburn, bloating, has, all the fun stuff.

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound: March 5th. Seems so far away.

questions/concerns: getting through first trimester and being able to do my job. I counted how many days I had left of first trimester last night and cried when I figured it out. Such a long time whenever you’re in the trenches.

gtky: if you can only eat one meal for the rest of your life what would it be? My mom makes homemade taco shells and I always joke with her that if I’m ever on my way to the electric chair that’s what I’m asking for, homemade tacos!!

julia_l

When are you due?
Oct 10th

How are you feeling?
Mentalty: Mostly anxious. After 9 years of trying to get preggers, I'm happy but fearful of losing it.
Physically: Fatigued! The boobs are pretty tender, but most of the bloat has gone away. My sense of smell isn't as intense anymore. Occasional nausea, no vomiting (I am relieved to see not everyone else is puking their brains out!)

When is your first appointment/ultrasound? 
Feb 28. I am impatiently counting down the days!

Any questions or concerns?
Nope

GTKY: if you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Sushi!

nmbrcrnchr1

when are you due? Oct 12/13

how are you feeling? So far so good, only symptoms I’ve had are gas and exhaustion. 

when is your first/next appointment/ultrasound?
4th beta test tomorrow to make sure my levels are going up still 

any questions or concerns? Just anxious about my levels, but glad for the blood test that provide confirmation they are rising.

GTKY: if you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Probably tacos!

lest12

 I think I belong here but I'm not quite sure yet

when are you due? Somewhere between the 10th and 15th - I wasn't tracking and honestly don't remember my LMP.  I won't really know until my US.

how are you feeling?  OK.  The shock is wearing off and I'm a little nervous because we thought we were done after #2, but excited.  Physically I'm exhausted and nauseous but it isn't too bad.

when is your first/next appointment/ultrasound?  I've had some bloodwork done, and now I'm waiting for an US on 2/27.

any questions or concerns? Not really

GTKY: if you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?  Oh non-pregnant me would say steak frites.  Pregnant me is thinking ziti and meatballs.

 

sunnyknightsarah

When are you due?  Oct 13 based on LMP but as many others said, we’ll see what the doctor says

how are you feeling? Nauseous and very sore breasts. But I’m managing well so far without anyone knowing I’m pregnant (other than my husband)

when is your first/next appointment/ultrasound? **TW loss mentioned** I had 2 miscarriages (in aug and dec 2017), so my doctor had me come in for blood work done this past Monday. **TW end** 

My doctors are happy with my HcG levels. They put me on progesterone to boost those levels a little. Since they are erring on the side of caution, they are bringing me in for my first ultrasound next week at 6 weeks, 4 days instead of waiting until the 8 week mark like they normally do. 

any questions or concerns? Not right now! 

GTKY: if you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Vodka rigatoni #allllllthepasta 

knottied146b66ebdea70c9

Hey @chyvie I’m just like you. Due October 12, totally gassy right now, and afraid of not getting 8-9 hours of sleep. Cheers!
