1) When is your EDD/how far are you? April 7th - 9 weeks, 4 days

2) Any appointments this week? Not until 9/22

3) Symptoms? I've been feeling much better with diclegis. I have been feeling down in the dumps because I've been a crabby biotch. Hoping it's just hormones and the stress of starting back to school. Poor DH.

BluesGal10 · September 2016

1) When is your EDD/how far are you?
4/3, 10 wks, 2 days.
2) When is your first appointment?
Yesterday. Sorry if it causes any issues, but we got a sonogram to figure out where the little bugger was, as it was evading the heartbeat machine. After locating it on the sonogram (DH got a picture), we finally found the heartbeat, and what a beautiful sound it was! Meet Baby S:

3) Symptoms?
Tired, hungry, and boobs are sore some days, not others.
4) GTKY: What's your go to comfort food?
Usually ice cream.

mrsw0920 · September 2016

1) When is your EDD/how far are you?
April 15th 2017, 8 weeks 4 daysish

2) When is your first appointment?
yesterday! Baby measured 7 weeks 4 days instead of 8 weeks 3 days. We weren't charting/temping or anything though so I'm not 100% on ovulation date. Dr. wasn't concerned, he said the heartbeat was 169 and everything looks good. He is keeping my due date the 15th for now.
3) Symptoms?
morning sickness off and on, fatigue, sore boobs, acne.
4) GTKY: What's your go to comfort food?
Cookies!

kitkat8387 · September 2016

1) When is your EDD/how far are you?
4/4 - 10 weeks 1 day
2) When is your first appointment?
Had my first appointment on 8/22 and got to see heartbeat! Next one is on 9/19 for the first trimester screening
3) Symptoms?
Terrible nausea, only occasional vomiting but feel sick basically all day and night! Also dealing with acne, sore boobs, and fatigue but those are nothing compared to the constant nausea.
4) GTKY: What's your go to comfort food?
Usually pizza but now nothing sounds good except crackers and toast

Hope the nausea subsides by the magical 12 week mark so I can get back to eating real food!
