I know this is supposed to be on Tuesdays, but I created it today because it seems like there hasn't been one yet. How are all the FTMs feeling?
Re: First-Time Mother (FTM) Check-In Week of 1/10
I'm feeling ok. My nausea is pretty severe. No throwing up yet but tons of dry heaving. I'm not surprised I haven't vomited though. My body hates doing it. Even if there's a virus that needs to get out. Otherwise, I'm enjoying the exhaustion. I've been sleeping so well.
I'm thankful for my symptoms. They help me remember that I actually am pregnant. The PGAL brain is real. I have my first appointment tomorrow. I'm hoping if things look good, I'll mentally be able to calm down.
Also, I can't wait to start doing all the baby shopping! My mom has already started, haha.
My EDD is 9/13. So far, my nausea has been very mild, and it comes and goes. You're 1.5 weeks ahead of me. Do you remember when yours first began/got worse?
This is my first pregnancy, so I have not yet experienced a loss (knock on wood), but I have still been so anxious about it since even before getting pregnant. I cannot wait for my first appointment, and it seems SO FAR AWAY, even though it is only 2 weeks away. I can only imagine how it must feel after a loss. Hoping today goes by SO QUICKLY for you!
Thank you! Hopefully your two weeks goes by quickly! Mine was scheduled two weeks out as well. Honestly, it felt like forever when we scheduled it but the time did pass pretty quickly.
@smsaulino First, congratulations! That's awesome that you've gone from not sleeping to sleeping! I haven't been sleeping so well, I guess because of the change in hormones.
@SkilledSailor I hope your appointment goes well today, I will be sending good thoughts your way!!! I can’t wait to hear updates. And I am with you on the PGAL brain. My last was a CP so we have made it farther this time but I am so nervous and trying to not get too excited until our US next week.
@zoeycakes I wouldn’t worry too much about the nausea or MS. Mine is also just mild nausea and I know some people don’t get MS at all. That’s exciting that you have your appointment schedule. My was scheduled 3 weeks out but I agree it does go by faster than u think!!!
@smsaulino Don’t worry symptoms can come and go sometimes. But if you start to worry you can always call your Dr and they may just reassure you or schedule to see you sooner.
@lagygin I’m glad your appt. went well! Spotting can be very common! Usually they want to check you out if it’s bright red or clots. Darker is usually older blood leftover from before. Also sex can cause some bleeding as well.
@zuzu43 my ms was very mild last time and this time it was even more so then disappeared. My OB told me today it usually gets worse around week 9, so we’ll see what happens this weekend. Lots of people have no sickness though.
