  • 1. When is your due date? 10/21

    2. How was this past week? I have had major nausea for this entire pregnancy so far. I can eat but it has been unpleasant. It is actually starting to get a bit better and I have hope that it will disappear in the next few weeks. 

    Did you have any appointments or tests? Nothing for another few weeks. 

    3. Have you told many people your news yet? The people at work know. I work at a doctors office and had one of the nurses confirm my at home pregnancy test. We are such a small office that I told the Doctor because taking time off for appointments is difficult due to our small size. 

    4.  GTKY - occupation I am a patient coordinator at a plastic surgery center. 
  • yay @WRWrunnergirl you remembered!  ;)

    1. When is your due date? 10/21

    2. How was this past week?  Did you have any appointments or tests? i am getting blood drawn on monday for my MaterniT21 Plus test. next week won't be fun waiting for those results...

    3. Have you told many people your news yet? for some reason i am more open telling people for round 2. probably 20 people know right now. more will know as soon as test results come back. still undecided on if we are going to do social media this time.

  • Happy Friday! Cheers to getting to wear elastic-waisted pants for the next two days.  :D

    1. When is your due date? October 31st

    2. How was this past week?  Did you have any appointments or tests? No appointments or tests this week but feeling generally blah. Tired and nauseous but starting to sleep a bit better than I have been. 

    3. Have you told many people your news yet? Not yet, other than our healthcare team. I kind of like the idea of having a secret that is just mine and my husband's. We probably won't tell people for another four weeks or so.

    4.  GTKY - occupation: I work in our local ombudsman office on the executive admin team.
  • @keiraanne - My DH's birthday is the 31st! :)  And I'm the 30th.

    . When is your due date? October 9th

    2. How was this past week?  Did you have any appointments or tests? I'm ready to get some sleep this weekend! Next appointment isn't till April 10th.  

    3. Have you told many people your news yet? 
    I've been enjoying keeping the news a "secret" for a while, although my sister, a close friend, and my "nesties" have known since I first found out.  I told my principal today and we'll tell our families this weekend.  Not quite ready to broadcast it on social media.

    4.  GTKY - occupation: I'm an early childhood teacher, teaching 1st grade this year.
  • 1. When is your due date? October 30

    2. How was this past week?  Did you have any appointments or tests? We had the first ultrasound last Monday and got to see the heartbeat :) Other than that, this week has been dragging....I'm tired and sick but the kids have a billion activities. 

    3. Have you told many people your news yet? We've told both families and some of my friends. I haven't been doing social media lately so I don't think I'll ever announce it there. This is baby number eight, so I only told people that I knew would be supportive. 

    4.  GTKY - occupation - I'm a stay at home mom to seven, four of whom are homeschooling. 
  • 1. When is your due date? Oct 1st

    2. How was this past week?  Did you have any appointments or tests? Can't complain, feeling pretty good. I had my NT scan this week. 

    3. Have you told many people your news yet? Not many, family and a few close friends who have known since I became pregnant. I think I am going to start letting other friends know in the next few days. I told my boss last week but will need to tell others at work. 

    4.  GTKY - occupation - I work in clinical research.

  • @KSweet - The 30th is my birthday, so I happen to think that's a great due date! ;)

    Congrats on #8!!!  I'd love a large family, but DH doesn't have the same feelings.  He has a 12 and 15 year old who we have half the time. This is my 1st.  I'm really, really, really hoping I can convince him to try for one more after baby is born! 
  • @WRWrunnergirl  The 30th is fine with me but I've never gotten to my due date so I'm assuming I'll be a bit earlier :) 

    I'm an only child and was adamant I only wanted two children....we can see how that planned worked, lol! I love my big family but never thought I would have one so don't lose hope!

  • Hi Everyone! Thanks for starting this thread! 

    1. When is your due date?
    Oct. 3

    2. How was this past week?  Did you have any appointments or tests?
    I had my first Dr appointment since my confirmation of pregnancy. It was nice to hear the heartbeat. 
    I have my first ultrasound on Monday. I love and hate this one; I'm so excited to see the baby, but so nervous because of the NT Scan. I felt the same way with my first.

    3. Have you told many people your news yet?
    I was doing really well with only telling our families, my best friends, and my boss, but the last couple of weeks I've become so tired of trying to fool people so I've just kind of given up.

    4.  GTKY - occupation
    I'm a high school teacher. I had parent teacher interviews last week and I had a bunch of parents asking what I'll be teaching next year, I had such a hard time coming up with believable lies that eventually one mom just came straight out and asked if I wouldn't be there next year because I'm pregnant. I'm the worst liar.
  • anyone doing genetic testing? i know its been mentioned before.  i had blood drawn today and now the anxious waiting game begins...ugh this is the worst.

  • @lola4411 We are getting a requisition for the Panorama test at our next MW appointment on April 12th. Which test did you opt for? I can totally understand the nerve-wracking waiting game! Hoping it all works out beautifully for you. :)


  • 1. When is your due date? 10/30

    2. How was this past week?  Did you have any appointments or tests? Great, had a growth appointment 
    This past week and baby is measuring ahead.

    3. Have you told many people your news yet? My in laws know and my best friend that is it.

  • @keiraanne we opted for the MaterniT 21 plus.  i am not sure what the differences are between the tests.  thank you for your thoughts.  i am a nervous wreck!  i am trying to stay positive but it will be hard tomorrow as i have jury duty lol.  silver lining, i will find out the sex in about 5 days...i wish you the best as well and i know it will all work out for you too :)

  • @lola4411 Thank you! Nerve-wracking for sure, but fingers crossed that it's all ultimately for no reason. Are you in the U.S.? I've only been given the option of Panorama or Harmony and haven't heard of MaterniT 21 plus. 

    Exciting that you'll find out the sex! We can't wait to find out either. It'll be a relief to get these tests done and over with so that we can finally start to tell our families. 
  • @lola4411 I got the Harmony test last time and will probably do the same this time. I think I have to wait until at least ten weeks? I hadn't gotten them in previous pregnancy but I know we would still have the baby regardless but then I figured if something is wrong, it would be good to know ahead of time and it would be good for the doctor to be able to plan the delivery accordingly. Here's praying that all of our babies are healthy and happy :) 
  • @keiraanne yes, i am in ca. here is the link to maternit21: https://www.sequenom.com/tests/reproductive-health/maternit21-plus
    it sounds similar to panorama and harmony.  i had harmony done last time because i had a false positive for the AFP test.  i was 33 at the time so normally i wouldn't have had harmony done.  this time there was no doubt i was going to get the test done!  i cant wait to find out the sex!!!

    @KSweet i am over 10 weeks so that is why i got it done today. here's hoping us golden girls have healthy babies for sure :)

  • @lola4411 Golden girls, lol!

  • Hello, 

    1. When is your due date? 
    October 21st

    2. How was this past week?  Did you have any appointments or tests?
    Had my Harmony test drawn today, hopefully the results are back by my appointment next Thursday. 

    3. Have you told many people your news yet?
    Not too many.  Parents and a couple of close friends.  We will be more open after the next Dr appointment when i actually hear the heart beat, not just see a faint flicker on the ultrasound.

  • 1. Oct 3, really hoping I don't go early I love October
    2. Had check up today heard ❤️ at 150
    3. We are trying to tell everyone in person. At 42, it's great seeing all the shocked reactions and then getting apology texts later for their reaction.
    4. I'm an Executive Assistant for 2 SVPs at American Heart Association. We fought for the pulse ox test to be a mandatory test for newborns to help detect heart irregularities. Nite I'm glad we did!
