GTKY: How did you find out you're pregnant? I found out Jan. 12. I was 3 days late which is not super alarming, but I saw that plus sign and I knew it wasnt a drill! Never been pregnant before or had false positives so, it was a BIG you're-gonna-be-a-mom ton of bricks landing on my head. I wish I could experience that avalanche of emotions again! I wanted to wait until my husband's bday to surprise him but that didn't last long lol thankfully I made a video a second after I took the 3rd pregnancy test, so I just sent him that!

GTKY: How did you find out you're pregnant? I was expecting my period back in January and I hadn't seen any spotting at all the couple days before I was expecting it. Used a test to confirm I wasn't pregnant and turns out I was. I guess I just knew.

Next Friday we have the ultrasound. Super excited (and a little nervous. For my 1st daughter she didn't cooperate so we had to go back 2 more times so they could finish getting all the scans.. took them til the 3rd time to find the stomach. All was well, but I was so worried inbetween. Hoping this time we just need the 1 ultrasound! How are you feeling? / Symptoms: Feeling pretty good, except i feel so huge! Was sick last week, not sure if it was pregnancy related or not. Felt like i had a fever.. chillls, sweats, body aches and so sleepy.. but i never actually had a fever. Took off work on friday to sleep and felt much better!
GTKY: How did you find out you're pregnant? We had been trying for 6 months, so i was sad when i was spotting.. then thought maybe it was implantation bleeding. Waited until I was almost a week past my period to take the test.

Firmly into the second tri insomnia Questions?
GTKY: DH was leaving for a work retreat the morning of 9 dpo and I wanted to test while he was home. I had a super squinter. Retested and got betas the next morning.

EDD: 9/16 Team Blue/Pink/Green: will be finding out on the 30th, crossed! FTM/STM: STM Special concerns i.e. AMA/IF/High-risk etc. (If comfortable): not too much, hashimoto's disease, monitoring thyroid levels frequently, that's about it. Any recent/upcoming appointments? Anatomy scan and 20 week appt on the 30th. How are you feeling? / Symptoms: feeling pretty good currently, some constipation and headaches are the biggest issues. Lots of kicks! Questions? Nope
GTKY: How did you find out you're pregnant? I mentioned this in another GTKY thread, but I had a nasty stomach bug the weekend before my BFP. We just started trying and I knew I could start testing soon (usually have an 12ish day LP) and got a super squinter that I didn't believe on 8 or 9 DPO? And continued to test and saw the line got darker. I waited like 4 days before telling my H because he was sick and really cranky and I didn't feel like he would have responded the way I wanted.
Can you believe we're almost half way there!!!! Drop any celebratory gifs! 3 days away from the 20 week point, unbelievable!
EDD: 9/21 Team Blue/Pink/Green: Pink FTM/STM: FTM Special concerns i.e. AMA/IF/High-risk etc. (If comfortable): I am 35 so considered AMA but my once I got through my first trimester my doctors haven't done anything different than if I wasn't AMA Any recent/upcoming appointments? Anatomy scan next Friday, 5/4 How are you feeling? / Symptoms: honestly, really good which scares me a bit. I was struggling with constipation in a bad way but started Colace every day and have found that good fats, such as EVOO in my oatmeal help a ton. Then my anxiety kicks in and I begin to worry if something is wrong because I can actually go to the bathroom right now. Questions? We have been visiting daycares and did a hospital tour. Minus about 3 questions, I really don't know what to ask, I feel stupid sometimes
GTKY: How did you find out you're pregnant? My doctor and the fertility clinic basically told us our next step was an IUI. I think my HSG test cleared things out and boom, I wasn't expecting it that month at all and ended up pregnant.
EDD: September 21 Team Blue/Pink/Green: We found out 5/3! FTM/STM: FTM Special concerns i.e. AMA/IF/High-risk etc. (If comfortable): Nothing high risk right now thankfully. I experienced a serious back injury that resulted in several herniated discs 2.5 years ago. My back is doing well so far, but I've been preventatively doing my PT excercises and saw my chiro after some sciatic pain a couple of weeks ago. Will see my PT right away if I experience more pain. Any recent/upcoming appointments? Anatomy scan on May 3rd! How are you feeling? / Symptoms: I'm feeling pretty good physically. I was so sick my first trimester so I'm grateful to be feeling so good now. Questions?
GTKY: How did you find out you're pregnant? We'd been trying for seven months (tracking my cycle, OPKs, the whole nine yards) and it was my time of month to test. I thought that month was a throw away because my cycle had been weird (didn't ovulate until CD 20, we were traveling etc). Anyways, I woke up on MLK day which I had off from work and decided to test. Placed the test on the counter and started brushing my teeth. I glanced over at the test and it was already obviously positive. My husband works from home so I asked him to come into the bathroom and then asked if he saw a second line too. We were both surprised!
@lisac113 There are some really good articles and lists of questions to ask daycares out there. I just did a google search and that helped me come up with a list of questions.
