Anyone pregnant in OC?

beatingxheart · July 2017

Looks like this place has not seen anyone for a few months. If you are pregnant in OC, introduce yourself and we can talk I guess lol. I am newly 26 and a FTM. I grew up in Georgia. I have with with my boyfriend for 4 years. I am currently 6 weeks and 5 days. I got pregnant on birth control on my bday. My EDD is March 15th. I have lived in OC since 2011.

Im Kara, 4w2d and a FTM in OC. I grew up in Tustin and am 28. EDD is April 8th. We got pregnant pretty easy but I'm very nervous since I have a family history of MCs. Trying to stay cool calm and collected even though I want to plan everything already lol!

@heandmemakethree congrats! I'm having such a hard time trying to hold off til week 12 to start planning too! I want to get everything done yesterday lol

Sorry, had not seen this. I am 12w2d right now. I live in south OC. I hope things are going good for you @karabeers. We are planning to move to SD. Congratulations on all your pregnancies!! I found out I am having a boy through the Harmony test. I have been so nauseous this past week out of nowhere & overwhelmed that I do not even know what to start with. I ordered a book off amazon that never came. Is this everyones first baby? How is everything going so far? Vent if you want.

this is my first. i am 6.5 weeks along now. i have been reading every baby book the library has to offer and watching a lot of netflix/amazon documenaries about babies to help satiate my obsession until we can tell people.

Vent: a girlfriend of mine is pregnant and has told everyone and is only 2 weeks further along than me. it was so hard to stay calm when she told me she was pregnant because if i was too excited for her i would have broken down and spilled the beans. also, my guy is out of town at burning man for 2 weeks so i am all alone with this since he has no service. feeling a little emotionally isolated

This is my first as well! I'm 8 weeks 2 days and have my first ultrasound coming up. Pretty excited! I've read quite a few books already too and trying to keep my excitement in is difficult.

Congrats @beatingxheart on your little boy! How exciting! Can't wait to find out ours

I hope it goes well @karabeers . Thank you! Have you announced or told anyone? When is your due date? Hope your appt goes well! Let us know

@heandmemakethree That sucks! I am sorry girl. He should have stayed with you. Ugh men! When do you think you will announce or tell people close to you? I think I told my dad a few days after I took a test lol I had to tell someone. When is your due date? Anyway let us know how everything is going!!

Yay we are all FTMs ...that is awesome!
Venting...
My guy has been getting on my last nerve lol. Idk what it is but everything he does is like knives to my head. Lol . I have to distract myself too. I never got that book on Amazon (3rd party seller deleted account) so I guess I need to find another. It is so hard to focus on school right now. I just want to hibernate!
I got on Diclegis Sept 1, which is helping me eat at night. I have been sick since my last post. The nausea/throwing up all hit me that week. I had not been sick before that & thought it would pass...but no. I throw up everything if I eat in the morning/day. I have lost weight from my prepregnancy weight so just hoping this goes away. So much for no sickness and having a boy!

Speaking of that, have you guys looked at old wives tales for fun to see if yours could be girl or boy accordinf to them? If not it is ok. I know it is 50/50. I did them before I did Harmony. Ramzi theory and a lot (not all) of the OWT's were true for me. The chinese calendar was not right though, for me at least. I know health is most important. I just thought they were fun to do/look at.
Here is a few links:

#1: Skin changes: very dry

Boy
#2: Acne: no Boy
#3: Glow: yes, especially the first few weeks after I found out... Boy
#4: Linea negra: mine goes below my belly button.. Boy
#5: Baking soda: never did it so N/A
#6: Hair texture: my hair is not falling out like it did sometimes before I was pregnant so I guess it is better. Boy
#7: Body hair: growing extra fast. I hate this. Boy
#8: Weight gain: just in my belly bc I just have a small bump so far...before I was losing weight it was just in my belly too ...Boy
#9: Foot temp: colder Boy
#10: Foot growth: no idea. Might be too early to tell N/A
#11: Cravings: sour and salty...I cannot even eat or do not want sweets right now blagh boy
#12: Carrying high low: low so far Boy
#13: Dad's weight gain: not so far. Although, he does think he has a pseudo pregnancy (like a sympathy pregnancy lol). He complained about his nipple yesterday & has felt sick a couple times..it is weird. No weight gain though Boy
#14: Headaches: Yes some. Boy
#15: Sleeping position: I always slept on my left so still left, but I get restless and switch during the night. I will say Boy since left is where I usually wake up.
#16: Nipple color: I do not know...I do not think so. Girl
#17: Breast size: My boobs have not really grown much. My left is a little bigger naturally (I think it is for most). Girl
#18: Clumsiness: Definitely increased because I have knocked over my drink a bunch, dropped things on my foot, and stubbed my toe into random things more. Lol Boy
They did not have this one but here is another main one
#19 Heartbeat: He did not measure the heartbeat at my first 2 appts (I just heard/saw it), but the nurse that did my NT measured it. It was 164bpm. OWT is below 140bpm is boy and above 140bpm is girl. It did not seem that fast at my other appts, but I do not know since it was not measured. Girl

Results
Boy: 14
Girl: 3
N/A: 2

I am 13w2d today and my baby boy is measuring 6 days ahead so 14wks. They said I am not further along just bc baby is so idk how that all works. My due date is March 15th. I had the NT 2wks after the appt where I did Harmony. Neck measured 1.7mm. Here is scan from NT on Sept 1:

I am due April 20. I am going on a big international vacation with my mom in early October and she lives across the country so I want to be able to tell her in person. It will be just as I turn 12 weeks so perfect timing. I want her to hear first (aside from his family) before my friends so mid-October when I get back from vacay I will tell friends.

However, I am also considering a new job at work and I don't want things to be impacted by the news so I'm not telling work just yet. It's kind of a sticky situation but I should know more in the next couple of weeks. And @beatingxheart I almost have all the same "wives tale" things as you so I hope/suspect it is a boy also

Hi ladies! I live in Fullerton & work in Newport Beach. I'm excited to be 10W6D! I'm 38 & unfortunately have already had 2 miscarriages. I have a good gut feeling about this one because I feel nauseous almost every day - a good sign I hear. My EDD is April 14, 2 weeks after my sister's wedding & 2 weeks before my birthday. It's going to be a fun spring & summer

we plan to tell our families this Sunday at our 5 year anniversary lunch, & our friends next week. We plan to tell the rest of the internet through our Halloween costume.

All this planning is a lot of fun!! Have you ladies thought about how to announce?
