While we wait, how is everyone feeling? When is your first prenatal visit? How old are you? Is this your first?
I'm a bit bloated/gassy and a bit tired, and my boobs (normally As) are HUGE (realistically, they're probably just slightly fuller As, but to me they're huge ). My confirmation appointment is on October 19. I'm about to turn 40, so I'm pretty concerned about miscarriage and chromosomal abnormality risk but trying to keep calm. We have a 3.25 year old.
I’m feeling ok physically - some nausea, boobs are sore/heavy, and headaches the last few days (although I’m blaming caffeine withdrawal). Mentally - a mess, my first blood draw came back great but my second is tomorrow and I’m so nervous. I had an ectopic in February so I really hope my numbers double and my progesterone is ok.
As long as HCG looks good I should get an US around 6 weeks to confirm baby is in the right place.
I’m 34 and will be “AMA” by the time this LO is born so I’m interested to see what that will mean. This will be our 2nd child, DD is 2 1/2!
I’m 32 and this is my second. My son is 4, turning 5 in July.
Ive had nausea, sore boobs (and growing boobs lol), tired, had some cramping last week. i found out I was pregnant super early, 5 days before my missed period, so I’ve know a week now. I’m 4w2d estimated.
I won’t see the midwife until 10 weeks. My appointment is on October 30th. Until then I’m just keeping positive that everything will stick and I’ll make it that far! I don’t have any reason to expect a miscarriage but it’s always in the back of my mind.
Hi all, welcome to the PPs above! Great news @nmbrcrnchr1 !
Still no board to call our own, huh?
I started spotting this morning after a BM. Called the nurse who said not to worry unless I start cramping or bleeding heavily; she also said not to have any intercourse. I asked whether it could be a sign of low progesterone and she basically dismissed it (but didn't provide an explanation). I still had a bit throughout the day but it got lighter. Otherwise, I'm still tired, sore boobs, and have started burping. Trying not to panic (the tiredness helps with that - not enough energy to worry!).
@nmbrcrnchr1 Thank you. No spotting this morning. The HCG test line is about the same as yesterday's. I'm trying not to obsess, but it's hard -- I leave for a week-long work trip to Europe this weekend and am dreading the idea of miscarrying away from home. Thankfully I have a good friend in the city I'm going to. Still have the burping and sore boobs, so hanging on to hope!
I also have occasional pangs, wouldn't really call them pains, near my right ovary, but I think I ovulated from my left side (not sure, though).
Hope everyone is doing well! Have you all told your partners? I told DH that I was in limbo - positive but spotting. He has been great in letting me rest.
@marijaa333 I told BF right after I took the test. He was sleeping and a little confused at first, but then grabbed me and hugged me super tight. He’s so happy and is taking the credit for getting it done lol.
Hi!!! I have been waiting for our board to open up.
My EDD is June 3rd. This is my 5th pregnancy. I'm 34 and my kids are 16, 4, 2, and 1.
As of now, my only symptom is heartburn and tiredness. I did have some queasiness last week but that has faded. I usually don't get nauseas until week 6 so it was strange to have it right away. I have also had dizzy spells where the room will suddenly start spinning. That usually hits me around late 2nd trimester. Last time I actually had episodes of passing out.
My first ultrasound and prenatal appointment is Oct. 22nd.
People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

@marijaa333 I typically stalk BMBs on the regular and they’ve been so random the last few with when they have opened them. They opened feb and March on the same date (so super early for March) and then May wasn’t live until Sept 5th! So we might have another week or so of hanging out here.
as for the pants, for my first I was in regular jeans for a long time (prob 16 weeks) but now that I know how fabulous maternity jeans are I expect to pull them out before the end of the month 😂 that and I’m about 20lbs heavier this time than last.
Hi All! Jumping in as well 🙂. Baby’s Eta is 6/9, this will be my 3rd. I have 2 DDs that we worked VERY hard for. Lot of help and medications, DD was 2 years of trying, DD2 was 4 years. This was out 1st month of “eh, let’s see what happens!” And shockingly we are pregnant. We are both over the moon excited.
So far ive had killer boob pain, exhaustion & a little queasy. I had HG with my second so I’m doing everything Incan not to experience it this time around. I have a confirmation appt with my primary on Tuesday. That way I can have my HG meds filled.
I look forward to “meeting” everyone 😁.

this will be my 2nd, dd is 3. i was really active on the august 15 bmb with her, so i’m excited to be back. i have my first appointment on 10/17 to have a quick ultrasound and make sure this bub is in the right spot. i lost 30 lbs with my daughter because of morning sickness so i’m a little nervous about that.
i already had 2 beta draws at 3w3d (75) and 3w5d (240) so i’m cautiously optimistic.
@nmbrcrnchr1 thanks for the 'inside info' on the mysterious BMB creation process. You'd think they would automate that?
Thanks also for the pants estimate, ha! I actually had serious bloat last week but now I'm back in my regular jeans as if nothing is unusual (still gassy, but much less bloat, apologies for TMI content).
I have been waking at 5am all week! What is with that?
Welcome to the three PPs immediately above! And congrats!
@marijaa333 I’m so curious to see how long I can stay in my regular clothes, but also trying to hide it at work. I’m hoping to keep it secret until the 2nd trimester, but it’s going to be tough. Is the spotting all resolved for you?
@TJtheGoat ah, yes, telling work. Another topic on my mind, as I'm about to (have to) accept a new project...
Thanks for asking, the spotting lasted a day (I think it was Tuesday). I may have overdone it on Monday, walking instead of driving my three year old back from school, which took two hours. I was pushing him in a dinky stroller up and down hills and was pretty wiped that evening. Then the spotting came after a BM on Tuesday but was gone by that night. I am having good progression lines so far, so fingers crossed.
@marijaa333 I spotted like this with DD. My OB called it an “irritable cervix.” I’d spot a little after too much walking, a BM, sex, etc. It stopped after 13 weeks but freaked me out every time!
Tentively joining the group! I got a very faint BPF on Friday (12 DPO) but went to my OB later that day for something unrelated and it was negative. Been testing the last few mornings and it’s still positive and slightly darker (and I turned a digital test this morning!) Getting a beta done on Tuesday so I’m hoping for good news so I can begin to be fully excited! EDD is 6/9 and it would be #2 for us!
Hello, I didn't really give an intro before and will give a longer one when our board opens. I am in my mid-30s pregnant with my second, my son just turned two. I got my BFP at 3w2d, had a beer-fest the next day so I tested early lol. I was on here for my first and had an amazing time, I still chat with 40ish of them daily.
How far along: 4w5d / June 5th Feeling: I have been nauseous for the last week already, I didn't feel anything till week 6ish with my first. Somehow my breasts are getting sorer, this morning was bad, felt like a mix between a punch to the boob and a titty twister lol. Other: I had a work trip and already told my 4 person team. Most work trips are a bit boozy and after turning down drinks twice I was getting questions. I am really close to 2 out of 3 so I would have told if things didn't go alright to them anyways.
I’ll be joining as well! BFP this morning, though it wasn’t a surprise, I was pretty sure since my boobs hurt and I was nauseated and exhausted. EDD is June 5. I have a DS who is 1.5. Looking forward to chatting with everyone!

Hi @nmbrcrnchr1 ! I’m glad to see a familiar screen name.
Eta: I realized I didn’t tw the loss stuff. Sorry!
Just got my blood work result and I can breathe a little easier today
Monday @ 11dpo - 48
Today @ 13dpo - 162
and my progesterone was at a 19 so they are happy with that.
Congratulations @nmbrcrnchr1! So happy to see you post, and hope this is a happy, healthy, smooth nine months for you!

My first ultrasound and prenatal appointment is Oct. 22nd.
i told my DH shortly after I tested. I was going to wait until after my positive beta but didn’t want to not tell him in case they came back bad.
Feeling okay. Had some Bleeding the other day but none since. Going for second HCG tomorrow. Have a 3.5 yo DD and an angel baby from MC in June.
@TJtheGoat There you are! Congratulations!
