Hi ladies! I hope to see more posts here soon!
Thanks @GoldenKeys for the post!

I'm only 5 weeks 4 days but so far so good no symptoms to really speak of. It still really feels surreal. I had 3 betas and opted to wait to see the OB instead of continuing with RE. (We are not covered at the RE).

I knew my DH was the one right away, which is funny. We met in 2000, had some on and off run ins but life was different then. We met up again in 2004, married in 2010 he had dragged his feet long enough!

Hope to hear from some more grads!
@KateLouise @teenie16 @ewenner I lurked on another board and saw you there

Of course @sonpetitlapin too!

Hello All!

I am 9 weeks 4 days and not too bad so far. I have all the same issues, tired, hungry, sore boobs, and heartburn. I've had 2 ultrasounds so far. We heard the heartbeat last week:x I go back for my MaterniT test next week. It will be good to know and my BF is excited to find out the sex so early.

I knew he was special early on. But I, like everyone else, had been hurt before so I didn't want to care for him too much. But about 4 months into our relationship he had to look for a new place to live because his lease was almost up. So one day when we were out he asked if we could look at some of the apartments he was considering and I became so upset and angry. After he confronted me on my mood shift I surprised us both with my answer. I didn't want him to sign a year lease because of what that would mean for "our" living situation. So when his lease was up he moved in with me.... A year later we bought a house together..... 9 months later we're expecting our first child.

@goldenkeys Thanks for doing the post!!

I'm not too into the other boards so I keep coming back to this one.

Hi Ladies!!!

Thank you again @Goldenkeys for the post and congrats and welcome @kindershiltz!!!

I am 12w4d today. I had my 12 week appointment and he heard the heartbeat!! Otherwise it was boring. Which is great since the past 2 months have been nuts with doctors appointments.

We got the T21 results in. Baby's results are normal!!! Whew!! I am so happy. Now to get through the anatomy scan. And we are having a boy!!!! We are so excited!!!

kindershlitz for mentioning me. I can barely remember to check in on the PG>35 board, let alone on here! I am a slacker.

Anyway, I am now 34 weeks (what?!?!?!) and things are going along well. Baby has got himself head down now, which basically means he headbutts my cervix all day long (while simultaneously kicking and punching the rest of me). DH and I are nowhere near ready. The baby's room is currently a crib and a whole lot of unopened boxes of stuff. Yikes! We should probably get working on that.

I hope that all the ladies on this board are doing well. I'm sure there are so many new people on here that I've never "met," and wish you all the best in your journeys.

Hi all!

I'm 7w3d (estimated). I don't have my first appt until May 4th after our cruise (tomorrow - super excited). I'm hoping all is well during the check up. As for symptoms, sore breasts, fatigue all day, a little cramping, and the beginning of possible nausea. Hoping it holds off until after our cruise since it's the anniversary cruise for my DH and I.

I knew he was the one...eventually

. We actually met online...and being the cautious person I am, it takes a little time for me to get to know him. He will never let me forget how long it took for me to even hold his hand. But, fastforward a year later after our wedding, and we're celebrating the fact that I'm pregnant! He's wonderful!

I hope everyone is doing well. Best wishes!

Hello ladies. Thanks for mentioning me GoldenKeys, I only lurk on here from time to time.

The last couple of weeks have been really crazy, so I'm about to talk about a whole heap of stuff.

Most importantly, my MIL, who has terminal cancer, has gotten very sick very suddenly. She's in hospice at the moment, initially for respite care, but the doctors have said she can't be at home on her own. We already knew this, because she's been having falls, and while she can make things like her breakfast at the bench, she can't then carry it anywhere to eat.

So we've been busy finding a residential care facility for her, and visiting her every day, and trying to make this transition as easy as possible for her. She's particularly sad about her 4 cats and what will happen to them.

In the meantime she has a friend who is very into alternative health options. I'm supportive of this generally, and think anything that helps people feel at their best nutritionally or emotionally is going to help their body fight the cancer. I am not supportive of it when said friend starts telling my MIL that the fact she missed out on a trial is all part of a conspiracy, and telling her not to go into residential care but to go and stay with some other friends who have some electro magnetic pulsing machine that will cure her, and she (the friend) will come and sit with her with a laptop. Ummm.....everything on the net (including the American Cancer Society) says there is no proof this works despite what providers claim, and she needs more medical care than you sitting on your laptop. She needs to be wheel-chaired to the toilet, and showered by someone. She is on serious painkillers, and the drs expect the cancer will make her start hallucinating soon. Would you just go away with your conspiracy crap and false hope, and think about bringing her some joy.

Onto me, I've been having cramping and contraction type things. Turns out I had an STI, although antibiotics haven't really helped. Now I have thrush which the dr thinks could also cause my cramping. My mw just said nothing much we can do, if you start bleeding go to the hospital. I do understand that it's too early to do anything, but naturally I'm worried. I wonder if maybe it's stress.

QOTW: DH and I have been together since the night we met. I knew I would marry him after we'd been dating a month. I didn't tell him that though because I didn't want him to think I was crazy

Thanks for letting me wah on ladies. I hope all is well with you!

Congrats to the new grads and thank you for rounding us up, @GoldenKeys

@KateLouise I really hope things settle down for your family and you can relax some.

My life has been a bit insane - husband has been feeling unwell after a mold exposure in our (now former) apartment a few months ago, we're in the middle of a very complicated house purchase where quite a few things are going wrong (both with the house itself and some of the administrative purchase issues), there was a big theft from our apartment storage lockers (we "only" lost an expensive bike), my work has been extra stressful with a new boss arriving and everyone jostling to show off in front of him, and I'm trying to finish final revisions on my (defended!) phd thesis.

Thankfully, husband's health is slowly improving, the house situation is not a lost cause, work is work and not worth stressing over, and I'm making some progress on the thesis revisions. Most of all, the pregnancy still seems to be going well, and although I'm developing thunder thighs this last month, the baby is kicking, poking and stretching like it should be. I really need the next three weeks to get everything wrapped up before he arrives, but then look forward to figuring out life in our new little family.

Phew, so that's it for me. Things are unusually complex but not bad, and I look forward to a day (perhaps sometime in July?) when I can take a breather and laugh about it all. One upside is that I haven't had a lot of time to stress out over the upcoming labor and delivery.

Que sera, sera... (Aka "Serenity now! Insanity later...")
