KristoKekerooni · March 2018

When are you due? November 15

How far along are you? 4 Weeks exactly, or 9DP5DT

How are you feeling? At the moment, elated. We just got betas back, so I am just in awe. I can't believe this is finally happening. Beyond that, a little nauseous, but I think that is all the pent up anxiety and anticipation.

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound? Next set of Betas on Monday, US one week from Monday

Any questions or concerns? I feel like I have been trying to get knocked up for my whole life, now I don't know what to do.

GTKY: What do you do for work? 911 dispatcher!

KristoKekerooni · March 2018

@thebobloblaw , I was a 911 dispatcher while I was in college! It was... interesting.

thebobloblaw · March 2018

@KristoKekerooni haha, interesting it definitely is. I love it though!

pink_polkadots · March 2018

@KristoKekerooni @thebobloblaw I bet you both have some crazy stories from being a 911 dispatcher!

KristoKekerooni · March 2018

@thebobloblaw , I'm glad you do! I only lasted about 8 months, so that tells you how much I cared for it... haha. Did you do dispatching and call taking or just one or the other?

nerdeebird · March 2018

When are you due? November 10th or 11th depending on the app

How far along are you? 4 weeks 5 days

How are you feeling? pretty good. anxious and nervous and excited but no real symptoms other than my boobs hurt and I'm usually dead tired by 7/8pm. And not having my usual caffeine intake is killer!

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound? first U/S will be at about 7 weeks on march 26th. I CANNOT wait!!

Any questions or concerns? this is my first pregnancy so my mind is running a million miles a minute! One question is when does it really hit you and you really feel pregnant? I don't really feel different so it hasn't quite hit me that this is really happening!

GTKY: What do you do for work? I am a PhD student in the sciences

pink_polkadots · March 2018

@ecologyphdmama. First... I was reading your screen name as some complicated word that doesn’t exist (ecologyphyd) mama... now the PhD makes it make sense and I feel dumb

also... the caffeine withdrawal is real and it’s slowly killing my soul. And lastly... the first ultrasound and hearing the heartbeat helps it sink in. And having the actual bump instead of a “ehhh maybe she just had a big meal” kind of stomach.

thebobloblaw · March 2018

@KristoKekerooni we do both dispatching and call taking.

middleschoolmommy · March 2018

When are you due?
11/13/18
How far along are you?
4 weeks 5 days
How are you feeling?
TIRED. Annoyed with having to pee so often and the constant headache! Thankful that I'm pregnant with, hopefully, my rainbow baby!
When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound?
I'm calling doctors tomorrow to try and get something scheduled ASAP. I'm diabetic and need to go over my medication and if they are safe to continue.
Any questions or concerns?
I'm choosing to believe that this pregnancy will result in a FULL TERM HEALTHY baby. I was so nervous with my first! He ended up being delivered at 29 weeks and it was the most traumatic experience of my life. We've been ttc #2 for 2 years (tw- with one chemical pregnancy about 5 months after we started trying. Nothing else until now). I'm concerned about a few things. My current diabetes medications are AMAZING with sugar control, but they are new and I'm not sure they have had any studies done with pregnancy. I'm not looking forward to the enhanced carpal tunnel, at all.
GTKY: What do you do for work?
I am a middle school math teacher! I'm not sure how I feel about the timing of this pregnancy. I'll be done with the first trimester at the end of the school year (most stressful time of year) and then I'll be starting a new school year right before entering the 3rd trimester! I guess I can look forward to an awesome summer and try to rest up as much as possible!

pink_polkadots · March 2018

@mockingjay1 pregnancy after loss is incredibly terrifying. I’m praying for you and your rainbow sticky baby.

carrcco · March 2018

Oh @mockingjay1 I’m so sorry to hear about your losses, and I’m with you - full term and healthy, here you come! Sending you good energy for it!

Due 11/13, currently 4w6d

feeling... tired. Omgosh I forgot what this felt like. Headaches. Sobbed watch SING for the 30th time with my 2yr old (any other Jan16 bumpies also here?!) A little nervous because it’s still so early. Already annoyed that I can’t have wine when my husband has some

ecl623 · March 2018

When are you due?11/11

How are you feeling?Tired, some mild pinching pain in my uterus, hoping it’s just growing pains.

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound?3/29 is my confirmation of pregnancy appointment then first ultrasound on 4/2.

Any questions or concerns?
Worried as I had a mc in early January and at the end of January my sister lost her baby at 38 weeks due to a cord accident. Making me feel like I’ll never stop being worried.

GTKY: What do you do for work?
Assistant manager for a dental office.

runningmom5 · March 2018

Does anyone have rib pain? I have had it in both sides for a couple of weeks...

pink_polkadots · March 2018

@Janie585 does it feel like muscular or bone pain? Maybe it could be gas pains?

runningmom5 · March 2018

@pink_polkadots Kind of an achy almost bruised feeling.

ginjs · March 2018

When are you due? EDD 11/11

How far along are you? 5w1d

How are you feeling? Not too bad. Been getting waves of queasiness, but nothing terrible. Occasional skin crawling feeling which isn’t great, but bearable.

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound?
First ultrasound is 3/27. I had betas drawn last week, and everything looks good so far. I know it’s only 2 more weeks, but it seems so far!

Any questions or concerns?
Just feeling a little anxious, and like I should be “doing” something. *TW I had a CP in December, so every little thing makes me nervous right now. I felt better after getting my betas last week, but any slight twinge makes me worry right now. Hoping that feeling will go away soon. Maybe after the ultrasound! TW*

GTKY: What do you do for work?
I am a dance teacher. Mostly ballet, but a little bit of lyrical, tap and jazz too.

runningmom5 · March 2018

@ginjs I feel anxious too!!! I had a chemical just last month so I also worry about every little twinge, whereas when I was pregnant with my daughter and son the same things would not have worried me. My first U/S is also 3/27! Best of luck to you!

pink_polkadots · March 2018

@Janie585 hmmm can’t say then. I hope it’s not to painful for you! Maybe post in the symptoms thread, maybe some other ladies who aren’t checking in on this thread may have that pain and can help you.

pink_polkadots · March 2018

Lots of 11/11 EDD’s!

ginjs · March 2018

@janie585 One of the things I am appreciating about these boards is not feeling like I am the only one! Best of luck to you too!
