GTKY: What are you most excited about for your pregnancy?

Schumerator · July 2016

Can't believe I'm making this thread! I've been in a state of disbelief as we told some people in our lives this weekend. I kept saying it and they were like are you serious?! And I was like I guess so! LOL

How far along are you? EDD? 4w1d - 03/19/17

How are you feeling? Pretty great actually! I had a tiny bit of cramping last night, but no spotting so I'm not letting it get to me. Extremely sore boobs. I always had sore boobs during AF so I thought it was nothing but this is a whole new level!

R/R/Other: I stopped temping late last week because my temp went down slightly and I was like noooope I can't be going crazy over that and there's no reason for it any more! The tests say I'm pregnant so I'm going with that lol.

Questions: Anyone else just not really feel pregnant yet? I keep saying it out loud but it just doesn't feel real to me! I'm still super excited though

Also both my mom and my best friend asked if I was lying when I was wearing my "napping for two" shirt. I was like yes I purposefully ordered a shirt to trick you all! Jokes on you! No. Why would I do that lol, it was pretty funny.

GTKY: What are you most excited about for your pregnancy? Definitely feeling the baby move for the first time! As much as I try to imagine what that will feel like, I can't seem to wrap my head around it!

How far along are you? EDD?
4+1, March 19, 2017!

How are you feeling?
Fine, just hungry a lot.

R/R/Other:
I have my first appointment with the nurse tomorrow! I was prepared to have to wait til 8 or 10 weeks, but they scheduled it for tomorrow! Yay!

Questions:

GTKY: What are you most excited about for your pregnancy?
Starting to show!

@Schumerator I also don't really feel pregnant. I have to keep reminding myself it's real!

SandwichLover · July 2016

Hi ladies!

How far along are you? EDD? 6 weeks today, EDD based on O date 3/6

How are you feeling? I feel very tired, kind of emotional, sore boobs, and I've been a little queasy the past couple days. No actual getting sick, though.

R/R/Other:

Questions:

GTKY: What are you most excited about for your pregnancy?

I think like @FrancesGrace630 I want be farther along and start to show, get that cute baby bump going on. Right now I'm just bloated and I don't enjoy hiding how I'm feeling/the reason I'm feeling this way. It's stressful to me.

Robi1 · July 2016

How far along are you? EDD? 4w2d - 3/18/17

How are you feeling? I am not yet feeling any symptoms, which is fantastic, and I hope it keeps up. I'm not looking forward to the fatigue hitting since I'm already tired normally with two toddlers. I have been feeling really fantastic the last two weeks so hopefully this pregnancy just agrees with me!

R/R/Other: I am still temping... I love seeing the temps stay high up and knowing the science behind why - it is SO COOL. I stopped taking cheapies though. Since I've now been pregnant three times with no losses, knowing how common they are I am a little paranoid this time around.

Questions:

GTKY: What are you most excited about for your pregnancy? Giving birth again! I love birthing babies, and I get to use a brand new gorgeous birthing center and hopefully have a water birth this time! Also, I'm looking forward to my oldest really getting what being pregnant is - she was so young the first time I was pregnant that she didn't really get it, but she knows all about pregnancy now, so I think that will be really special.

Robi1 · July 2016

Yep, I don't feel pregnant at all either, and I'm thrilled about that! It takes a while for it to feel real. I regularly forgot I was pregnant until pretty late in the second trimester last time around.

How far along are you? EDD? 6+2, March 3

How are you feeling? Great! I'm tired and have sore boobies but otherwise I feel wonderful. I'm trying to keep my nerves under control and just enjoy this process.

R/R/Other: I didn't temp the cycle I got KU, of course! So I'm not sure about O day, but by my guesstimate, I think I'm actually 6 weeks on the dot today. I guess we will see what they say at my first U/S (July 27th).

Questions: @Schumerator - I totally agree I don't feel like it's real yet!

GTKY: What are you most excited about for your pregnancy?

Right now, I can't wait to share the news. We are desperately trying to keep it under wraps until the u/s. That's two weeks and two days away. It's already leaked to some coworkers... Hoping for the best!

kiki75 · July 2016

How far along are you? EDD? 4+0, March 20

How are you feeling? Not at all pregnant. Which freaks me out. If I hadn't been trying and hadn't been paying attention to when AF was due (like I pretty much never did when I wasn't on BC), there is absolutely nothing that would compel me to take a test at this point.

R/R/Other:

Questions: Any of you know when the exhaustion normally sets in? I went on a chore frenzy yesterday because I want to get some stuff done before that happens.

GTKY: What are you most excited about for your pregnancy? I'm really excited to tell my parents and friends. And I, uh, happen to already have some really cute maternity clothes I'm looking forward to wearing.

SandwichLover · July 2016

@Kiki75 I started to get really tired midway through the 4th week. I love that you already have some maternity clothes! I really can't wait to wear maternity clothes. I've been scoping them out but haven't bought any yet.

MollyandD · July 2016

How far along are you? EDD? 5 weeks. 3/10/17

How are you feeling? Totally normal for the most part. Mild queasy feelings here and there and fatigue are my only symptoms.

R/R/Other: Nothing new, other I wish people who know wouldn't treat me different yet.

Questions:

GTKY: What are you most excited about for your pregnancy? The part where it's over. I want a baby, but I'm not looking forward to the uncomfortable part to follow.

BigBadWolf12 · July 2016

How far along are you? EDD? 4+6, March 16 by O date

How are you feeling? Normal, just a bit tired. I also don't feel pregnant, @Schumerator

R/R/Other: I already like to talk to the baby ("grow, baby, grow!", "I love you" and "I can't wait to meet you" mostly), but we are living with the inlaws right now so I have to do it in my head or quietly in our room.... Although, I was also crazy ttc and regularly talked to my eggs and DH's sperm..."swim spermies!" and "go eggy, go!" haha

Questions: I have seen a link around TB several times in my lurking while ttc about the percent chance of NOT having a loss by week .... Can't find it now. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
Edit: found something like it at least.... Already feeling better!

GTKY: What are you most excited about for your pregnancy? Like @MollyandD a baby at the end!! But for the pregnancy itself probably when I can feel the baby move (or at least when I can not worry about a risk of loss so much)

ElleB11 · July 2016

How far along are you? EDD? 4w3d due March 18th

How are you feeling? Mostly normal. I got super tired at 8:30 last night but it's not necessarily pregnancy related.

R/R/Other: I just found out that my sister is pregnant and due a few days after me. I'm excited to be going through this with her!

Questions:

GTKY: What are you most excited about for your pregnancy? Right now, just making it to the second trimester.

Cats*in*space · July 2016

@Buthanya That post is excellent. You should share with the rest of the BMB. I kept feeling like i couldn't think of this as being real yet, b/c I assumed the risk of miscarriage was 15-25% the ENTIRE 12 weeks. This makes me feel so much better.

How far along are you? EDD? 6+3, March 4th

How are you feeling? Tired, bloating in evenings, boobs still sore and heavy. No morning sickness or aversions yet.

R/R/Other: I can rant about random things here, ya? I work in a cubicle and the new girl next to me doesn't quite know office etiquette yet and today specifically it is driving me nutty. She is eating crunchy food, has her space heater on (its gonna be 94 today- is that really necessary?), and to she has acrylic nails and is excellent an going *clackity clack clack clack* all day long on her keyboard.

Questions: Does this bloat thing end? so much discomfort.

GTKY: What are you most excited about for your pregnancy? In the near term, I'm really excited to tell our families. I was hoping to do it in person, but I'll be 15 weeks the next time we see everyone together. Not sure if we'll make a special trip instead.

Scarlett830 · July 2016

@Buthayna I've seen that link as well, or something very similar. Definitely share with the rest of the board! I think a few other BMBs might've had it up, too.

Sugargirl1019 · July 2016

How far along are you? EDD? 4+1 March 20

How are you feeling? Fine!

R/R/Other: nopesss I'm boring. Just nervous baby won't stick..

Questions: nope..

GTKY: What are you most excited about for your pregnancy? Looking cute AF with a 7 month bump. Feeling baby move!

Schumerator · July 2016

@Sugargirl1019 SO many prayers for you that you have sticky baby in there! Hope you can keep your worries low, though I know that will be tough!

mtmama2 · July 2016

How far along are you? EDD? 3w 4d EDD 3/24/17

How are you feeling? Bloated and tired. I've also found myself thinking about food wayyy more than usual.

R/R/Other: I am still in shock that I am actually pregnant! I tested last Friday and had a negative so I didn't test again until Monday morning. I ran a 1/2 marathon on Sunday morning and I have this horrible, irrational fear that it will somehow negatively affect the baby and pregnancy.

Questions: None yet

GTKY: What are you most excited about for your pregnancy? Feeling baby move and finding out the sex! I can't wait to officially name "Baby C" and decorate the nursery and buy an excessive amount of clothes and baby stuff!!!

wintersong · July 2016

4 weeks +2

Pretty good! The tiredness has started, and imbloated enough to momentarily think "oh, is that a cramp?" Nope, just has.

I am so happy to be pregnant!! My husband abt I we're not trilying for an absurd amount of time, but this as cycle 10 and it was starting to feel interminable. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to keep nursing my son without too much aversion. (He's 17 months.) I really hope I dont have to night wean, cause nobody got energy for that, lol. That is the sum of my pregnant thoughts, lol, all jumbled together.

Questions: Is 4 weeks too soon to be wearing maternity clothes? Because.......

Gtky: How kind people are to you when you are showing!
