EED May 1 here!! I am so very very grateful to not feel nauseous anymore. The exhaustion hasn't left me for a single minute (as I yawn while typing this). I actually fell asleep last night on my couch waiting for my friend to text me when to leave (we were meeting each other). I was a half hour late. Whoops a daisy!

I am SO looking forward to the second trimester. I scheduled a celebratory hair appointment! I'm starting to get anxiously impatient about finding out sex. I just want to buy cute things already!!

I know me too!!! I am leaving on Jan to visit half of my fam and they are going to throw me a shower, and they keep asking if know the sex yet. I'm like no, not yet, hopefully at next app. It's very unlikely but I've heard some at 16wks found out to my fingers are crossed.

I'm also looking forward to movement! Contemplating on buying a Doppler, just haven't decided yet.

@MrsTAmaral I hear ya sister!! I have my next appt on Nov 6 (my birthday!!) so I'm hoping we'll get something good but I'm not counting on it. My next appt after that is early December so I'm guessing that we'll be able to tell everyone for Christmas.

13 weeks tomorrow and feeling pretty normal and great!

Had my first tri screening this week and it was so great seeing the little baby! I've been feeling fantastic and hoping this continues. I just told my bosses today and we are going to officially announce to Facebook on Saturday. My u/s tech took lots of photos and even tried some in 3D. This was the best so I wanted to share. Hard to see at first but head/nose at top, arm across belly and other arm across face and two little legs bent and you can see a foot on the left.

EDD May 1- had 2nd ultrasound and NT scan today. Everything is perfect thus far. So blessed! It was amazing to see a little baby kicking and waving and moving around!! Especially after the first US at 6+ weeks when we still had a yolk sac. Heartbeat still 160 BPM. Hoping to hear more and more good news from the early May ladies! ☺

wingardium3 · October 2014

@Sunshine4020‌ Yay!! I was waiting to see your u/s update today. Happy everything went well for you and baby!

MrsPDX · October 2014

May 6th. I'm now 12w1d, and my symptoms kind of went away around 10 weeks (or lessened), well they are back! Tonight I cried for no reason for like 30 min, my boobs are so incredibly sore, I am so exhausted I can barely make it through the day, and Monday I through up at breakfast...UGH! Second Trimester, I am ready for you!

emilyanimals15 · October 2014

May 4 here. Getting NT scan on Monday (when I hit 13 weeks). A little nervous even though everything looked good at 10.5 weeks. Definitely less nauseous and tired but still vomited a little this week. Can't wait until Monday to see what's going on!

wingardium3 · October 2014

Did you ladies schedule your NT scan on your own, or did your OB/MW offer it to you, then it was booked?

rlcrowther · October 2014

@wingardium3‌ we told our ob we wanted testing at our first appt and she ordered the test a few weeks later.

ck4567 · October 2014

May 3rd here. My nt scan last Thursday went great. I got a picture of the baby sucking her thumb!! So precious! She wouldn't cooperate though so it took 3 tries to get her in the right position for the measurements. Finally after I ate spicy Cheetos she moved.

The results from the nt were all normal! Very happy about that. I am looking forward to also knowing Monday if my sch has gone down in size based on the pics from the nt scan.

wingardium3 · October 2014

@rlcrowther‌ Thank you! I'm going to have to ask at my next app.

Sunshine4020 · October 2014

@wingardium3 there's a short window of time you can do it in, so call and get it scheduled if you want to!!

wingardium3 · October 2014

@Sunshine4020‌ Thanks you! I'm going to look into it Monday.

texasmama15 · October 2014

@jerseyAKL I can't seem to eat anything healthy so I feel ya on food issues. I've never heard of the blood type diet, I'll have to look into that! Sounds interesting.

browneyedgirl00 · October 2014

I too have been eating everything in sight and told myself that I need to start eating more healthy options! We had our NT on Monday and all looked well - it was so cool to see those little hands and feet on the monitor. I had a little bit of pink spotting today and freaked out. Luckily, my doctor fit me in, did another sonogram and an internal exam, and she seems to think there's no need to worry. Phew! Hope everyone else is feeling good and healthy!

knightmansmama · October 2014

13w3d and went in because I thought I had a yeast infection and I was right. Since I was already there my doc gave me an ultrasound! It was amazing to see how much bigger baby already looked from my 12 week appt last Wednesday. My little one looked right at me! I hope everyone else is feeling good and hanging in there! Were almost to second tri!!

dukwok · October 2014

Hello ladies! I'm 13w4d, I was wondering if any of you can feel your uterus yet? I was reading that it's possible to feel the fundus above the pubic bone at this time. But I'm not really sure what I'm feeling around for haha.

rlcrowther · October 2014

13w5d just got blood work back that confirmed we are having a boy! we are so excited!! ❤️

wingardium3 · October 2014

Agh! M/s came back today something fierce. Been great for the last few weeks until today. Next app is on the 10th. I CANT NOT WAIT. I have this feeling I won't be getting a u/s, but I'm going ask my MW for once, since I haven't had one since week 6. @rlcrowther‌ Congrats on the boy!
@JerseyAKL‌ I am also looking into a doppler. Let me know if you do and how you like it!

happy924 · October 2014

I'm 13 weeks tomorrow. I am really feeling no symptoms at all. I feel great. Is that normal?

Sunshine4020 · November 2014

Hi again early May ladies! I'm 15 Weeks today! Woohoo! Libido is slowly returning and ugly breakouts are not quite as bad. Whew! How are you all feeling?

knightmansmama · November 2014

I'll be 15 weeks Sunday and I still feel pretty good. I still get really tired but I guess it was silly to assume the exhaustion would go away. I found out this week that we are having a little girl and that has made all the suffering of the first trimester worth it. I am so excited!! I have this weird bout of back acne and arm acne come on out of no where as well as an itchy belly and boobs. Grow baby grow!!

saralynn91 · November 2014

My libido is finally returning too! And I have energy to clean and cook again. My bf is pretty happy. I still have a little acne but it's not raging across my face like it was. And I can feel my uterus now! I am totally a belly sleeper and i feel this little ball under my belly button. Definitely have itching on boobs and belly, headaches, and random growing pains, but I'll take this over first trimester any day.

dukwok · November 2014

15 weeks tomorrow! I feel good too, still a little constipated, bloated and cranky. I'm also getting headaches, which REALLY suck! I've only gained another lb since 12 weeks, is that okay?? I read you're supposed to gain approx. 1lb/week in the 2nd trimester. Next US is on Tuesday, I'm nervous and worried, so praying everything is going well so far!

MrsPDX · November 2014

Anyone experiencing uterus pain? Ahh 13-14 weeks this started, especially at night and in AM.

ck4567 · November 2014

Almost 15 weeks!! Libido is coming back, yay! Still tired but not as much. It's easier to eat better now due to decreased carb cravings. One bad symptom this week has been anxiety that I can't seem to turn off. I am hoping that will go away ASAP.

Yes same! For 2 nights kept waking up. I was starting to panic but midwife said it's normal as everything stretching or was I constipated so could be either? Sorry mine was constipated cramps tmi. 14w 2d today

JustMoiAgain · November 2014

I will be 15 weeks on Sunday. All is well except starting to get a sore back on the left side. I have been feeling flutters, baby LOVES Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and I am happy to oblige.....

Oh yay, at least I am not alone! I figured it was probably stretching... maybe it is constipation..either way I won't worry.

sbride68 · November 2014

May 6th here. I have had nausea on and off but only thrown up like maybe 4 or 5 times since finding out at 2 or so weeks along. I have worried between each appointment as well. We just had our 13 week appointment last week so we won't have another until November 25th

that just seems way too long! Lol I was thinking of getting a fetal Doppler to use between appointments to check heartbeat and heart rate. My mother in law is a nurse so I figured she could help figure out the first time to make sure it is baby's heartbeat and not mine. But I feel like the worrying is normal. I am just starting to feel great though like I have the glow that everyone talks about. I hope that is comes for the rest of you ladies too!! Just starting to get a little bump the past couple weeks too. I can't wait to feel my little monkey move

my friends little boy is two and he says that it is spongebob in my belly so he says hi and bye to spongebob whenever I see him

I am super anxious for our gender ultrasound next month. It can't come soon enough!!!

Plum23 · November 2014

14w5d and symptoms have changed quite a bit in the last couple weeks. I feel lots of mild pain/ stretching in lower abdomen. Nothing awful just a bit uncomfortable.
Weird bizarro dreams too. I've started writing them down. Bump is beginning to show too!

cabartosh · November 2014

OMG!!! 14w5d today - had an u/s to follow up on a cyst and looked at LO while she was there. HE was very cooperative! Unexpectedly found out we are having another boy!!!!

ashleymritchie · November 2014

15 weeks today! My only symptoms are sensitive breasts, occasional heartburn, growing pains and boom! a huge belly out of nowhere.

sdrhodes12 · November 2014

15w today! Boobs are sore again, and my appetite is crazy right now! Eating everything... I've been lucky and have had no m/s the whole time. People are noticing my bump! I also am not sure if I felt baby yesterday. I felt a tapping and then 5 min later felt again. People told me it would feel like butterflies, but it didn't feel that way. That's why I'm wondering if it was muscle spasms or something stretching. I guess I'll find out soon enough! I'm feeling great though! Hopefully I stay this way!

wingardium3 · November 2014

15 weeks today! My sleep habits are in a funk, still have tender breast, nausea has came back, and headaches are slowly getting better. Appointment on Monday, and I'm really hoping I can have a u/s. I haven't had one since 6weeks.

expecting1stlilmiracle · November 2014

Ahhh wish i could hug you all!! It's wonderful to hear the differences and similarities. Ladies we are doneeee with 1st tri. Isn't that crazy!!! I had ivf for my first so this is going so fast as it was a surprise pregnancy. Still nauseous and all that but so worth it. I'm going to one of those 3D places for a gender sonogram on the 20th. My sis is doing a gender reveal party and i didnt want to wait till Dec and risk baby not showing. Should be fun!! Xoxo

evakatharina · November 2014

I'm 14 wks 6 days now and I'm really feeling a lot better. I still can't eat very much and only can eat certain things, but I haven't felt that urge to puke in a nice long time (except when I gag from brushing teeth).

The most amazing thing though is finally having some freaking energy again!!! I still have some bad days, but some normal too!

My bloating is also way down and I can see my real little bump!

jennnyboomboom · November 2014

15w1d here!! we had an appt with my OB this past Thursday, which was my birthday, and finally got to hear the heartbeat on the Doppler! it was so awesome!

we have our FAS scheduled for 12/8! can't wait to find out what we're having!

I'm really hoping my libido jump starts soon. I'm thinkng DH does too!

wingardium3 · November 2014

It's been a few weeks, how is everyone doing?

Here is my update:

Currently 17wks. Acne and appetite have kicked in. Headaches have gone away a bit.

I ordered my doppler yesterday. I also have started a baby registry and bought a new pregnancy journal.

Hope you all are doing well.
