The weekly catch all.

I heard my babies heartbeat on the home Doppler we bought from Amazon this morning! So exciting! Baby is sitting towards my right side. What a wonderful way to start the day!!!

@Wearmi1 I also found baby's hb for the first time yesterday, and again this morning. Such an amazing sound. I plan to slow down with the doppler use now and limit it to maybe once a week, but I couldn't resist listening one more time.

I see mixed information about the safety of home dopplers. Does anyone have reliable information on that?

Is anyone else kind of not loving the whole pregnant thing? I am so excited to have a baby, but I do not enjoy pregnancy. The nausea and vomiting and gaining weight and extreme exhaustion and food aversions... this part isn't fun.

@meg2704 I do not like being pregnant. This will be my last pregnancy. My last pregnancy was very rough and this one is starting out the same. Hopefully it gets better soon!

@meg2704 The 1st tri is hard to love, especially if you're having symptoms which are really disruptive. I didn't love being pregnant with my first in the 1st tri, but she was also a surprise pregnancy so I had those feelings to deal with too. My 2nd and 3rd pregnancies happened after long battles with secondary infertility, so as awful as I feel, I'm just so glad to be pregnant. Once I get into 2nd and 3rd tri, I LOVE being pregnant. Only time in my life where I feel really beautiful

I used to have a neighbour who had 4 kids and she always complained about how much she hated being pregnant with all of them haha.

@mkrltx I haven't tried to use mine since I was like 6 weeks. I was up early this morning and decided to give it a go! Sure enough I found it. I only listened for 2-3 minutes but it was awesome!

@meg2704 I felt the same way. I really disliked being pregnant up until about week 8 or so. Then my really bad symptoms seemed to fade a bit. The constant feeling of vomiting went away and I started taking meds for heartburn and that really helped a lot for me. I too am having a hard time with gaining weight. It makes me feel uncomfortable about myself and really just fat and judge mental about myself of everything I'm eating.

thank you all for your responses. I am 8 weeks today and my symptoms are getting worse. I think part of it may be the recent diagnosis of hypothyroidism. I have to take the medicine on an empty stomach first thing in the morning, and before I would sit in bed for a little while and eat crackers and sip water before getting up.

Its all going to be worth it in the end - but ugh it's a struggle!

I just saw the Target Black Friday ad online. They're going to have all fisher price baby gyms 50% off and all bright starts and Einstein toys half off as well. The baby stuff is on page 28 of their add. There is also a baby monitor system for 129.99 that is regularly 259.99.

@meg2704 My mom used to always tell me how much she loved being pregnant and how healthy she felt. I'm so mad at her for either having 3 really easy pregnancies or for blocking out these first few weeks. It's the worst. I feel fat, oily, sick, tired, gross... blahhh. I'm not impressed by pregnancy so far.

@Wearmi1 I hear ya on the weight gain. It's a hard pill to swallow. I knew it would be. I just didn't think I would feel this gross.

Went to a baby shower at work this afternoon, and everyone was talking about being pregnant, and registries, and babies, and it's so hard to not tell!!
