anyone else getting cramps ugh it's like they're almost period cramps... not fun. I'm also terrified they could be the start of an early m/c even though I know they're normal and I'm not spotting. Who would have thought I'd be a worry wart this early on.
I know cramps are scary, but they are so normal. Try to relax (I know easier said than done).
thanks! I know I just need to relax... I think its because they are worse today than they've been the past few days. But they're on and off... so I can deal. Ugh I hate cramps (even if they mean pregnancy!)
I also had cramps yesterday and was completely freaked out. They seem to have disappeared today and no spotting. I think I will be nervous for the first 8 weeks or so though.
I think I'm a September. I literally just took a test 10 minutes ago. DH is asleep, and I of course can't sleep at all. Due date calculators are saying around 9/8/14. Congrats to all the other mommys!
@Everyusernameistaken Yay! Due date twins! When did you have your first? My DS is almost 14 months old.
And I agree with everyone that the cramping is unsettling despite being completely normal. With my first I had mild cramping and light spotting which was terribly unsettling. This time it seems I have been saved the spotting at least but not the cramping.

For my insurance I have to see my primary doc to be referred to the OB and I go for that appt today. I have had spotting all week and bright red blood when I wiped last night. My last pregnancy ended in a miscarriage so I am a wreck. Is there anything I can ask the primary doc to check today or do I have to wait to see the OB (another 2 weeks probably)? Can't wait until our board is up!

Yes @flyawaycricket I'm getting a ton of cramps. They're normal. My first pregnancy I had cramps so bad they sent me for an emergency u/s thinking it might be ectopic. Turns out it was just constipation. I kept telling them I thought it was that but they kept saying no. Ah well got to see my little squish early (I peeked at the monitor afterwards) and get confirmation!

Could you maybe get an ultrasound? Best wishes to you.

I'm sorry you are spotting. I would push for an u/s. Good luck, I'll be thinking of you!
I just got my BFP and am due 9/15/2014... I was hoping to jump in the Sept 2014 group!! I hope that is formed soon. Next cycle we were going to start IUI, so this is my little Christmas miracle I am so very very excited. And to make my DS a big brother?! Just an outstanding way to begin 2014!
Anyone getting any morning sickness yet? I was nauseous with DD1 but never really threw up. Last night and into today I've felt so sick that the smell of boiling water was making me want to hurl. I hate feeling sick, but at the same time it feels good to know the symptoms mean it's really happening!
P.S. I'm super annoyed that our board isn't up. I remember when I was trying last cycle, I'd lurk the August board and theirs was up waaay before they had anyone with an August due date!
So the primary doc refused to run any tests or do an ultrasound as they are not "medically necessary" which I understand but it doesn't help my anxiety any. He said no exercise or lifting over 15lbs until I see the OB on Jan 27th. Fingers crossed it all works out! Thanks for the well wishes.
@Porcupine0912 T&P's for you. I am also spotting. It started last night. Mainly brown blood, but a few hints of red. Hopefully we both have sticky babies in there!

Sorry to hear you are spotting too! Definitely hope we both have sticky babies and will be enjoying pregnancy rather than worrying very soon!

I went grocery shopping today and as soon as I stepped foot into the store I thought I was going to hurl. The rotisserie chicken smelled so strong. I've been getting nauseous after I eat.

Cramps that felt exactly like period cramps were my first symptom with my son (now almost two years old,) and they're my main symptom now. Totally normal.
I didn't know you all were hanging out here! haha. First time I've checked First Tri!
Anyway, hello all and congrats to everyone! I've really enjoyed the BMB for each of my other pregnancies/babies. I can't believe they don't have ours up yet.
This is my third (surprise!). So far symptoms are just light cramping and sore stomach muscles. I haven't had any MS yet, but I have a feeling it's coming. I'm also not looking forward to not wanting to drink my coffee. (with both my other pregnancies, I could hardly drink it during first tri) Needless to say, I'm soaking it in now!!
Looking forward to chatting with everyone!
I am convinced that coffee is God's gift to mothers.
I'm PG with #3 and was not prepared for how quickly my body went into pregnancy mode. I had a really horrible day feeling overwhelmed with the changes happening in my body already. I was silly and stepped on the scale and have already gained weight. That's when the spiral began. Needless to say I won't be stepping on the scale anytime soon. I'm in a better headspace but it's clear that the hormones are raging over here. Anyone else dealing with that? How do you deal with it in the moment?
Re: September 2014
I have 15 month old twin girls and hoping for just one baby this time around! Though my dreams keep having newborn twins in them!

New Mom-to-be over here! EDD 9/1. My husband and I are so excited!
I'm new to boards, so if possible could someone fill me in on what all the acronyms mean? I figured out EDD and TTC, but I'm lost on the rest. :-/
Thanks! I'm excited to have other Mommys around to chat with!
