Upcoming appointments this week? Finally have my first ultrasound on Tuesday! 10am!

How big is baby? Somewhere says tomato seed! But I think that's an overstatement.
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope, but I'm going to call the office and get something on the books.
Any new symptoms or changes? Doin ok! Boobs hurt and I got dizzy a bit last night and had trouble getting comfortable. But I wasn't home this weekend so hopefully my own bed will serve me better.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Just still processing everything. I don't think (thankfully really) that betas are indicated in my case but it's weird because it seems like everyone on the internet gets them. Also thanks to all of you who replied to my CD questions!

GTKY: How many people have you told about your pregnancy? My best friends and my parents know because they all knew when my IUI was. Unfortunately I was covering Ortho call for trauma this weekend and with the higher radiation exposure I had to tell the doc I am working with. Who has then told everyone. So much for secrecy and protecting after loss.

No appointments this week.
The bloat is getting more noticeable to DH. Back twinges are also happening.
My husband has told way more people about this pregnancy than I have. I'm nervous and thinking about career prospects because I'm in the middle of a career switch and unemployed.
5. Husband, local best friends and in-laws.
MC 4/15
BFP 10/10/16
How big is baby? A blueberry
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope
Any new symptoms or changes? Really bad nausea and bloating. It seems to be a really fine balance between eating too much (when the bloating gets really uncomfortable) and eating too little (when the nausea is bad).
Rants/Raves/Questions?
GTKY: How many people have you told about your pregnancy? My husband, chiropractor, dentist and work bff.
How big is baby? A Sweet Pea
No appointments this week.
New Symptoms? I'm really tired this week and my breasts are really sore and swollen.
We have told my mom and a couple of close friends. We want to wait to tell our dad's and siblings until after our ultrasound next week.
2. No idea... guess I should check what app says.
3. First appt not till 11 weeks
4. Just cramping and extremely bloated. Already look like I'm 3 months.
5. Surprisingly very few symptoms this time around. Makes me kinda wonder if that means different gender or just that none of it has hit yet. Hate waiting till 11 weeks for first appt. DH said we can't tell anyone till 8 weeks so 2 more to go.
@DungeonTrollMel GL with your early ultrasound this week! Exciting! FX that this is a sticky bean for you.
@lizerspitz GL with the job search... I know this must be a difficult time to be doing this but we can't always plan these things. That's cute that your DH is so excited!
@MotherHen You're my EDD buddy! I can definitely relate to your symptoms. I've learned that it is possible to be simultaneously nauseous and hungry. SO not a good combo! I find that at times I will start to stuff my face and then stop cold turkey, regretting my decision, as the nausea hits me like a ton of bricks.
@Praying41 Sorry you have to wait until 11 weeks for your first appointment
