ManthaWolf · January 2015

I just found out that I'm about 4 weeks along with #1 as well

The app is telling me that my due date will be around the same time as yours. I am happy that there are a few people that will be going through this first time around at the same time as me!

dragonfly09292012 · January 2015

Awesome! So glad to meet you both! Are either of you experiencing any symptoms?

cupc4ke12 · January 2015

Im always hungry and tired. Thats about it.

SweetnSassy23 · January 2015

Welcome! H&H 9 months.

ManthaWolf · January 2015

Ditto on the always hungry and tired. I am also having some cramping and feeling super bloated, bleh.

sydp44 · January 2015

I just found out I'm pregnant and due Oct 4th! So I'm about 4 weeks along and this is my first!!!! Do any of you have advice for beauty products...I read that you need to change you shampoo..lotions...and makeup..is that true?

dragonfly09292012 · January 2015

I haven't heard that about the makeup and beauty products. That's interesting.

kmf2411 · January 2015

Hey y'all! I just found out I was pregnant with #1 too. I'm due oct. 1 according to the app, but go to the dr in a week and a half. I'm super excited and sooo nervous!! Glad you started this thread for first timers!
Are any of y'all experiencing sore boobs? I think I could cut mine off and it would hurt less than they do now! Lol

dragonfly09292012 · January 2015

Hi! I am just now starting to get sore boobs. Congrats on the pregnancy! I experienced my first "morning sickness" incident this evening so that was interesting. Anyone else have morning sickness?

kmf2411 · January 2015

Congrats on yalls too!! No morning sickness yet. Hopefully it never comes!

brite12 · January 2015

Hi ladies , found out about a week and a half ago, will be 5 weeks Tom, our first. Symptoms really just exhausted, sore boobs but not terrible. No nausea or anything just yet. Anyone with ultrasounds yet?

anorthro · January 2015

Hi everyone! I found out on 1/23 and my due date is 10/5. This will be our first as well. I didn't have many symptoms until just a few days ago, but I have really sore boobs and do feel a little hungry. I'm also finding that I'm waking up much earlier - I usually sleep until 8:00am but I've been waking up without an alarm at 5:30am this whole week. No morning sickness yet. Anyone experiencing the early wake-up, too?

brite12 · January 2015

I'm having trouble staying asleep, constantly wake up, tossing and turning. I'm thinking it's all anxiety . Congrats!

njfeders · January 2015

Hi! My partner and I have been successful on our second attempt with iui and we are just over four weeks as well. So excited! My partner is carrying and she's been super tired.

dragonfly09292012 · January 2015

I have been having night sweats since before I knew I was pregnant. I got them about two days before and I thought this is strange having these night sweats now I know it's due to hormone changes. I have been bloated and felt some cramping and stretching in my stomach. I have had a lot of anxiety as being pregnant first time is pretty scary. I'm just praying for a healthy baby and great pregnancy. (:

Jbo375 · January 2015

I'm 5 weeks tomorrow EDD October 2. Yesterday was the first day I felt extremely hungry. A little nauseous here and there. My boobs are Ginormous and hurt so bad! Since like 3 dpo. I feel extremely fat too! Lol does anyone else feel like they weigh 400 lbs?

I had anxiety too. Sometimes hard to breath. I think that it's normal. A lot of my gfs had difficulty breathing and feeling anxious when they were pregnant.

Try to take deep breaths in through your nose out through your mouth:) ️hope this helps! :? X

mjvermeulen5 · January 2015

Hi all!!! I just found out on Sunday too!! I am waiting confirmation of the due date through early prenatal screening... I had SUPER irregular periods after coming off the pill... my last period was beginning of November! Pregnancy tests were negative at the end of December... So we will see!!! I had been feeling crampy and bloated for a few weeks and then a week ago my boobs practically doubled in size!! And are SO sore!! Also my stomach seems to be super unhappy with everything I eat and I'm rarely hungry... But SO thirsty! But I wouldn't trade it for anything. ❤️❤️ congrats ladies! Can't wait to chat with you all more!!!! And keeping my fingers crossed for no morning sickness or food aversions!!

ajhollanddenis27 · January 2015

I found out I was pregnant on 1/26. This app tells me my due date is October 2nd! First time!!! I'm nervous, excited, happy and scarred all at the same time. Anyway, I have been waking up at 5:00 or 5:30 this entire week as well!

klynnolson · January 2015

Due on October 3rd with our first. Had a miscarriage at 6 wks in June so we are so nervous to even accept we are pregnant. Going for an ultrasound Tuesday and can't wait to officially be able to see our baby! So glad to be able to talk to someone! It's hard keeping a secret! Can't wait to experience this journey with you all!!

kcfield13 · January 2015

I'm glad I'm not the only one with boobs hurting this bad!! I knew I was pregnant wayyyy before I could test because of them. Have you found anything that eases the pain?

lastbrnangel · January 2015

First Beta 243 Second Beta 800 EDD 10/04/15

Congratulations to everyone...I cant wait to form relationships with everyone.

KRomo16 · January 2015

Hi everyone! This is my first Pregnancy as well! I am 5 weeks! I got my BFP on Saturday 24th and Confirmed with my doctor on Tuesday 27th. I just have really sore bbs and some mild cramps every now and then but that's all the symptoms so far. I was about 25lbs overweight of my normal weight to begin with so I was already feeling fat before I found out LOL! I'm worried I won't show soon since I am already fat!

Amberena · January 2015

Hello all! This is my first pregnancy and I'm definitely still in shock. Found out last Sunday 1/25. I'm 5 weeks today and EDD is October 2nd! Symptoms have been mild so far. Boobs were sore all this week but feel better today. Not nauseous yet but do have some strong food aversions. Most notable symptom is waking up at 2am to pee every night this week. I NEVER have to pee in the middle of the night.

This is super exciting! Good luck and positive thoughts to everyone!

ShellHowe · January 2015

Hi! I'm due 1 Oct and with our first. I think like everyone else so excited yet nervous. Morning sickness has hit me. Should in fact be called ALL day sickness. Hot ginger drinks are helping a little.
Good luck

nanemia · January 2015

Hi I'm Nadia and if everything works out allright we'll have our first child on 10 October.
We had an icsi cycle and I got 2 blastocysts on day5 transferred. My official blood is on Monday but I couldn't wait and went for a blood test on Tuesday (hcg18) and Thursday again (73). So excited. Just hope it stays. We've been trying for 5 years!!!

nanemia · January 2015

...ops and congrats everyone!

Jbo375 · January 2015

I have to wear a bra all the time! Like a sports bra of something to hold them and support or it feels like they are going to fall off! Lol I am so suprised bc I had my boobs done like 5 years ago and lost a lot of sensation for some reason it's come back. Not fun! Have you found anything to help?

I also too have anxiety! I find yoga/meditation to be the beSt for this.
If you've never done it before, I suggest a guided meditation. You can find some on iTunes etc. I find those much easier than just trying your best to think of nothing!
I also find a good walk outside does the trick, but w the coldness on the northeast I haven't been doing that!

vinni510 · January 2015

Hi, I am also first time mommy to be . Found out pretty early - 1/21(on my birthday!!) couldn't believe it at all. Dr confirmed on 1/23.. I will see dr next week, as per calculator I'm due 10/1.
Symptoms were- dizziness( real bad), nausea, cold, headache & sore breast. By now cold & headache have settled down- still dizzy, nauseous and very very hungry.
Congrats to all mommy to be!!

CandiPuff · January 2015

Hello Ladies, This is my first pregnancy too. (: I've taken three tests in the past two days and they all say positive so when I go confirm with the doctor in two weeks I hope it's for certain that I am. The app says I would due October 11th. No sickness yet but I've had sore breasts and super oily hair. Nice to meet you all!

I'm the same...just wearing a sports bra at all times. I'm super big chested already and they've grown...(ughh!) so a sports bra is all that fits anyway. I do massage them as best I can in the shower. That helps a little.

tangela2013 · January 2015

Hi ladies!
Just found out on 1/29 that I'm pregnant with our first baby too. My EDD is Oct 10th --- my first appointment isn't until the first week in March and I cannot wait to finally get to see him or her!!
So far I'm feeling great, but I know that can change any day now!

joselyn930 · January 2015

Hey guys! Congrats on being an October Mommie!! I just found out I was pregnant yesterday! Also a first time mom and im super nervous & sore. My boobs are out of control!

I went shopping for prenatal pills today but im not sure if the Similac brand is the right choice! Any recom. ?

dragonfly09292012 · January 2015

I went with Women's One a Day for my prenatal. I think as long as your getting at least the minimum amount of needed folic acid, etc. you will be fine. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 9 months!
