How far along are you? 3w 5d - got my nice bright 2 lines today and feeling much better than the last 2 days!
When is your first (next) appointment? None yet. I have new insurance and have to switch OBs. I'll be doing research this week.
Symptoms/rants/raves? Dizzy off and on for the last week. I'm starting to get emotional and teary for no reason. And my boobs are sore and they've grown! I'm busting out my maternity clothes today just for the bigger no-wire bras.
GTKY: Where are you from (state, city, region of the country, whatever you feel comfortable with): LA baby here! I'm one of the few LA residents that was born here and actually stayed.
When is your first (next) appointment? Not until December 9th :-(
Symptoms/rants/raves? Crampy and sore boobs. I am still in shock that I got a positive! With all of the halloween parties and a wedding in Mexico next week, it is going to be real interesting hiding a pregnancy. NBR: I am home sick today with bronchitis and I am missing my team's last cross country meet of the season. Thankfully, the high school coach was willing to fill in for me today :-(
GTKY: Where are you from (state, city, region of the country, whatever you feel comfortable with): Philly suburbs
**First time poster, long time lurker** I hope it's okay to join in!
How far along are you? 3w2d
When is your first (next) appointment? Nov. 16
Symptoms/rants/raves? Other than mild cramps every once in a while and feeling tired, no symptoms yet... with DD, major nausea and exhaustion came on around 6 weeks. I'm graciously taking these symptom free weeks without complaint.
GTKY: Where are you from (state, city, region of the country, whatever you feel comfortable with): Knoxville, TN
How far along are you? 5 weeks, 4 days according to Ovia app but heres my question, I believe that I ovulated later in my cycle, so does that mean they still date back to the first date of last period, or is it pushed back depending on ovulation? Any insight appreciated!
When is your first (next) appointment? November 13th... the wait is killing me!
Symptoms/rants/raves? I am SO TIRED all I want to do is sleep, and I've got some cramping on & off. My back pain/soreness is getting better (or I'm just getting used to it) and my chest is sore & definitely growing...
GTKY: Where are you from (state, city, region of the country, whatever you feel comfortable with): From the northern end of the NJ Shore (Central Jersey).
Yay! Thanks so much @chelseakae07 for starting this thread!
How far along are you? 4 weeks 5 days
When is your first (next) appointment? The birthing center I've chosen requires an orientation before scheduling a first prenatal appointment so that will be happening the Saturday after this one. (I think it's silly since I already do my well woman care with them and know what they're about, but it's the rules apparently.) Then they do the first u/s between 8 and 12 weeks.
Symptoms/rants/raves? My boobs are sore and as of this morning they look like they're growing. Popping out of the top of my sports bra and regular bra! Still thirsty/ have to pee frequently. Also feeling a little extra sleepy... currently considering wether to nap at lunch again hmmmmmm. Plus I'm starting to feel a little nauseated here and there, but no barfing yet so FX it stays at just a little yucky feeling once in a while.
GTKY: Where are you from (state, city, region of the country, whatever you feel comfortable with): I'm originally from the deep south, but moved with my DH here to the midwest. We love it here and are putting down roots, although I sure do miss the food!
When is your first (next) appointment? Haven't made one yet. Will schedule one soon for mist likely 8-10 weeks
Symptoms/rants/raves? Nothing much today. Feel hungry, then take one bite and don't want it anymore. I'm trying to get my house clean and animal chores caught up before sickness really sets in!
GTKY: Where are you from (state, city, region of the country, whatever you feel comfortable with): Northern CA, but really north, not like "bay area" northern ca
How far along are you? 4 weeks and 4 days! (according to the trusty internet)
When is your first (next) appointment? Not scheduled yet. Just moved to town, I need to look into my options so if anyone from the suburbs of Minneapolis wants to give me some insight/advice/reviews, that'd be great!
Symptoms/rants/raves? Same as @SouthernVOL, I had major nausea at 6 weeks with DS so I am LOVING the symptom-free weeks right now other than some mild tiredness.
GTKY: Where are you from: We recently moved back to my hometown, one of the southern Minneapolis suburbs.
When is your first (next) appointment? November 3rd. It's a viability check but I doubt I'll have an ultrasound this early
Symptoms/rants/raves? I've been too stressed out lately. I've had issues with my liver for some time so I'm seeing my OB early. I'm really worried about it and having some pain but went to my PCP today so he put my mind at ease. I've had several anxiety attacks so I'm just trying to stay positive and focus on baby.
@SouthernVOL I went to school at UTC in Chattanooga but we did all of our partying at UT (the good old days..) My parents live in Greeneville, TN.. Not too far from you. Welcome and congrats!
When is your first (next) appointment? Thursday to confirm and answer some questions
Symptoms/rants/raves? In the last symptom post I said I hadn't had much nausea. I think I jinxed myself. I went to work this morning and I've been exhausted and gagging 24/7. I gave up coffee last week but caved and had one today to combat the fatigue and I felt like I was having a heart attack. Racing heart, light headed, felt like I was going to black out. And overwhelming nausea every time I bent over (I work as a cleaner so bending over is like 70% of my job). My boss took one look at me and told me to go home. On my way out the door he jokingly asked if I'm pregnant. I wasn't planning on telling him until Friday after my dr appointment so I can tell him any restrictions but I may end up telling him tomorrow just because I can't hide the morning sickness. Ugh. I'm mostly worried about my brother's engagement party tomorrow night and being able to hide it from my family. On the upside, I'm no longer worried that there's some mistake and I'm not actually pregnant.

How far along are you? 4 weeks, 2 days When is your first (next) appointment? My first appointment is not until Dec 7th sadly. Symptoms/rants/raves? I'm having a good deal of cramping, hungry and nauseous at the same time, and bloat. GTKY: Where are you from (state, city, region of the country, whatever you feel comfortable with): We live outside of Chicago, somewhat in the country.
When is your first/next appointment? I have two appointments on November 5. One with the high-risk OB for a viability scan and the other with my regular OB so she can check everything out. She's determined to get this baby through 9 months, I love her.
Symptoms/rants/raves? Sooooo tired. But that's partially from quitting caffeine. I've had a shorter fuse today with my lovely high schoolers, but I'm not sure if it's hormones or if they were just extra ridiculous today. Maybe both. Lol.

When is yourfirst (next) appointment? November 16th
Symptoms/rants/raves? Nothing too much going on today. My nipples are a little bit sore. I'm a tiny bit nauseated. I'm still having general abdominal/pelvic cramping and discomfort. I'm exhausted which was only made worse by being up all night with my DH who was sick and then having to clean the house today for company. Back is fairly sore after all the scrubbing toilets, vacuuming, mopping floors etc. I've been a little bloated at night after dinner and a little gassy when I wake up in the morning. All in all though I feel pretty good. Hopefully MS can hold off till my mother is done visiting.
