CCLow87 · July 2015

Due Date: March 28 or April 1

Biggest fear about labor: My first was breech, so I had a paralyzing fear with my second that she wouldn't turn head down. Ever. Well, she did. But I have a feeling that fear will carry over to this baby.

Any symptoms yet: Pregnancy brain (forgetting things), exhaustion, gas/bloat, VIVID dreams, I've had two SLIGHT bouts of m/s.. but nothing that's really a big deal.

loveymay · July 2015

Due date: April 1

Biggest fear about labor: tearing, pain, baby being in distress. This will be my first, so I really don't know what to expect.

Symptoms: fatigue has set in big time! Also bloating, gas, backaches.

Questions for the group: when will you call your doctor to schedule your appointment? My doctor told me she sees patients between 6-8 weeks, so I'm thinking I'll call sometime next week.

Best baby gif: I can't gif, wahh!! I tried and tried last night, but couldn't get it to work. Maybe I'm not using the right URL? :'(

alyshamarie007 · July 2015

Due date: March 28

Biggest fear about labor: everything went so fast with my first that I'm afraid I won't make it to the hospital this time.

Any symptoms yet: fatigue and bloat

No questions for the group yet, but I'm excited for mor people to get their bfps. I'm also hoping you guys don't mind me hanging out in the bmb since I technically have a March due date. I just feel like everyone in March is way ahead of where am I now, so I'm kinda hanging out in both.

My gif won't show up on mobile....boo!

Is anyone else having issues with formatting? Anytime I use my iPad, the formatting is messed up, and I just tried to retype my post using my phone, but its still messed up.

alyshamarie007 · July 2015

Same here. My iPad doesn't format correctly.

CCLow87 · July 2015

@alyshamarie007 - My DD based on when I ovulated in March 28 too.

Have no fear. I think we're fine here!

I called my doctor to confirm the pregnancy and she scheduled me at week 4 but we will see from there

ekneipp · July 2015

Due date: March 31, but like a few of you I would love to be in this group. It already feels like March is a pretty established group.

Biggest fear: right now it's not for labor, it's to get through the first trimester. But for labor, I had a water birth with a midwife last time, loved it. Because of a change in insurance, I don't have that option now so a little nervous about a "land birth".

Symptoms: none yet. I am exhausted, but that's bc my 11 month old is teething and nights are rough right now!

Questions: nothing yet

Gif: i am soooo technologically ungifted!!

ekneipp · July 2015

Argh, my formatting is off too...I tried the <> button

Never mind...got it!

alyshamarie007 · July 2015

My doctor won't see me until week 12

they do require me to do a 30 min educational phone appt with the np, even though I did that with my first. I am going to ask for an ultrasound for dating, since they dated me based on my LMP, which is March 22. I asked for one at 8 weeks last time,, so hopefully they will do one again this time. Basically, every doctor is different.

I called midwife service yesterday and they said they will not see me until 9 weeks. My GP said to come in on Tuesday start blood work.

tigerfish227 · July 2015

Due Date: April 1st

Biggest fear about labor: TBH I'm not even worried about that yet. Just get me thru 1st tri!

Any symptoms yet: I'm an emotional wreck, I've been super tired the last couple days but mostly I'm just pretty much in shock.

Questions for the group: not yet.

I kinda feel like this just happened so...

heim0117 · July 2015

Due Date: I don't know yet because my periods are irregular and I wasn't charting. My best guess is April 11, but I'll find out at a dating u/s next week. Biggest Fear About Labor: Being induced again. My last baby was in the NICU for a week, so nervous about that as well. Any symptoms yet: Queasy and stuffy nose. I had a stuffy nose during my entire last pregnancy! Questions for the group: Are there any teachers out there? Best "baby" themed gif: I don't have a reliable PC to do this with- just an iPad!

CCLow87 · July 2015

@heim0117 If you already have a + test, you're due before April 11!

yay! (Date of conception for that due date was just 3 days ago! lol) I'd say you're within the first few days of April!!

jkg0527 · July 2015

Due Date: 4/1 Biggest fear about labor: I had an emergency c-section due to high bp, loss of amniotic fluid and DD being breach, so I think I'll have to do another c-section. I'm more worried about after surgery. Last time I was on the verge of needing a blood transfusion and going to ICU 9 hours after my surgery. Any symptoms yet: My left boob leaked colostrum which is the reason I tested. I have to pee constantly, my lower back hurts so badly and my boobs are sore as he'll and getting back to my breast feeding size. Questions for the group: If this wasn't a planned pregnancy, what made you test so early? @Heim0117, I teach hs math

dcrosson · July 2015

Due Date: March 31st

Biggest fear about labor: I really don't know...when me and my dr had previously talked about me getting pregnant he said I'll have to do a c-section due to medical problems, so the surgery scares me.

Any symptoms yet: sore boobs, tired

Questions for the group: no questions yet

heim0117 · July 2015

@jkg0527 Aweaome! I teach middle and high school English. Will you take 6 weeks or just stay off until the following school year? @cclow87 Good to know! Can't wait until they can give me a date!

jkg0527 · July 2015

@heim0117 I'm not sure. I will have to take at least 8 weeks because of my c-section. Last time I had a hernia and had problems healing. I'm thinking with a 3 yr old added to the mix I will take a bit to heal. Ideally I'd like to go back mid May and end the year, but it may not happen. What about you?

tigerfish227 · July 2015

@jkg0527 I wouldn't exactly say mine was unplanned (was waiting for my cycles to start after a mc almost 6 weeks ago and we weren't as careful as we should have been) but I tested because I was exhausted and way too emotional. I was trying to rule out being pregnant and went into shock when I got 2 lines instead of 1.

yls2011 · July 2015

Due Date: April 1!

Biggest fear about labor: Emergency or unnecessary C-section

Any symptoms yet: Fatigue, intermittent cramping every day.

Questions for the group: Are you all as nervous about m/c as I am?

Edit: Yaaay first GIF post ever!

heim0117 · July 2015

@jkg0527 I'm not sure what I'll do yet. Last time I had a summer birth and didn't take any time off extra and regretted it. I hate not finishing up the year myself though so I may go back for the last few weeks.

jkg0527 · July 2015

@yls2011 I'm nervous about an mc as well, even though I haven't had any before.

PeggyOlsonFTW · July 2015

Due Date: March 30th

Biggest fear about labor: Going through 4 hours of pushing only to end up with a csection again. Csection recovery with a toddler...

Any symptoms yet: Sore boobs and exhaustion

Questions for the group: I'll get back to you

Katherine8908 · July 2015

Due Date: not sure I wasn't tracking

Biggest fear about labor: having to be induced again ... Horrible

Any symptoms yet: sore boobs & tired

Questions for the group: none yet

Best "baby" themed gif:... I don't know how to add this ..

Phoopy · July 2015

Due Date: April 4 Biggest fear about labor: An emergency C-section or giving birth at home (although home birth is pretty normal here, I live in Amsterdam, Holland). I was exceptionally lucky to eventually have had a natural birth with DS, but he came so quickly the midwives were preparing to deliver him at home. I freaked and the contractions slowed enough for an ambulance to get me to the hospital. Yikes. Any symptoms yet: Crazy fatigue, which I remember from my first pregnancy. This is the reason I tested... Questions for the group: Nothing comes to mind, but I'm sure we'll have lots to talk about! Best "baby" themed gif: I can't get these to work! Sorry.
