Re: FTM check in / August
Feeling better than expected so far symptom wise. Just some cramping and sore boobs. Emotional - excited, nervous, anxious about friends & families reactions. (Not sure why I feel this way- anyone else feel the same?)
I have a feeling these next few weeks are going to drag on.. I just want to tell everyone! It’s a hard secret to keep and I’ve only known for just over a week.
GTKY: I’m 27 and fiancé is 26. We’ve been together for almost 8 years. It’s about a 50/50 split for my friends that have babies / ones that don’t. None of his close friends have babies yet.
I am 5 weeks 7 days (6 weeks?) today, due on April 2nd.
I am feeling really scared to let myself get excited because of the high chance of loss early on, especially since I am 35 and overweight.
I am currently on vacation out of the country so I haven't scheduled or had an appointment yet. I called the obgyn clinic I want but they are closed for holidays until August 12th anyways, so I sent a request for an appointment to another clinic as well a few days ago just to be sure, but haven't heard back (I am in Canada so things take a little longer, though I could go see my family doctor if I was home for the initial blood tests).
We haven't told anyone about the pregnancy so kath1414 I really feel you- I am also dying to share the secret, every day drags on, I can't wait to have my first ultrasound and get to the end of the trimester. I think I will tell a close friend or two when I get back from vacation so I don't explode... also so I have some support if I mc.
GTKY: I am 35 and SO is 30, we have been together for 7 years.
I am feeling super excited but also anxious. I feel like there is so much I need to learn and do to prepare. I am also overweight and that makes me even more concerned.
My first US is 8/21 and first prenatal visit is 8/26. Looking forward to seeing a heartbeat.
I am 27, my fiancé is 28. We’ve been together for 7 years.
@kissofkira That’s awesome you will get an u/s so soon! Where I live it’s only standard to have an anatomy one at 20 wks unless there’s a reason for another. (Early one for dating, late one for size for example). One problem with our Canadian health care system. There is a place I could go and pay $25 for an early one just to see the heart beat so I think I’ll do that. My friend had an ectopic and lost a Fallopian tube so that worries me.
Im 5weeks 4 days, due April 5!
I am 26 and my husband is 27. We are excited, but trying not to dwell on it too much until we have an ultrasound.
I had my first blood test today. My first US is
September 12. It seems like forever from now, but that was the earliest opening my OB had.
Ive had tender breasts, back aches, and some serious gas! I’m cool with it as long as it means I’m progressing.
Im having a hard time keeping quiet about it to family and friends. They all know we were trying and keep asking about how “things” are going.
I'm currently 4w3d based on LMP
I'm 34 and DH is 35. This is our first pregnancy, after several years of trying and finally undergoing treatment. I'm feeling a little anxious to be honest, mainly because I dont have very many symptoms. I personally also know of several friends and family who've had early miscarriages, and then gone on to have successful pregnancies. I'm afraid of this and i think i'll feel better after my 7 week ultrasound. I know it doesnt happen to everyone, but i'm still nervous about it.
Upcoming appointments: 7 week ultrasound on 8/29
i asked this question in the other announcement group, but could you tell me if EDD is calculated based on LMP or ovulation (i assume ovulation is more accurate) but i'm not sure.
How are you feeling? (Emotions, symptoms, etc) I'm super excited! Nervous since it took so much time and assistance to get pregnant but trying to live in the moment and just enjoy being pregnant. My main symptom is that I'm incredibly tired and fatigued.
Upcoming appointments: Our first ultrasound is scheduled for August 20th! DH and I are very excited for it.
Rants, raves, questions: Nothing at the moment. I'm sure as time goes on I'll have plenty of feelings and questions.
GTKY: How old is everyone and their SO? I'm 31 and DH is 37. We've been together for 7 years.
There is a heartbreaking announcement I have to make
I have just lost my twins in the Morning
As I told you before I had conceived through ivf and this was my second cycle. Miscarriage happened exactly the same way it happened in the first one. That was my 35th day and today was 38th. I woke up in the Morning and started bleeding. I went to the doctor. They quickly gave few injection to control the situation. Got me admitted and within one n hlf hour I blended clots and lost them. Today was the worst day of my life. Feeling very helpless as nobody knew the reason why this is happening as I am conceiving but it is not staying more than 5 weeks and get aborted naturally. Please please please if any of you know anything about why this could happen please let me know. All the best to you guys. I will pray for you all your well being.
How are you feeling? (Emotions, symptoms, etc) I'm excited, but it still doesn’t feel real yet. I’m nervous about the statistics of pregnancy loss in the early months and trying not to read into everything. Trying to stay positive and remember some things are out of my control and to just enjoy feeling good!
Upcoming appointments: Our first appointment isn’t until August 30th. We will be almost 9 weeks by then!
Rants, raves, questions: Nothing at the moment!
GTKY: How old is everyone and their SO? I'm 32 and DH is 33. We've been married for 3 years.
My estimated due date is April 8, and my first appointment will be September 3 at almost nine weeks.
I’m 28, and my husband is 38. We just celebrated our fifth anniversary, and we’re excited about this next chapter.
I have spells of extreme exhaustion and have been waking up early, early in the morning. The good news is I’m so tired I’m able to go back to sleep fairly quickly 🤣. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m going to bed earlier than usual or if I am just restless. Occasional discomfort but overall feeling pretty good.
Our first prenatal appointment is August 26th.
I’m 33 and hubby is 35
I was getting a bit worried because the few days before that I felt absolutely nothing!!
We have finally told all our parents and immediate family. Quite a few friends know as well! My first appt is on the 30th.. hopefully I’ll get a quick little ultrasound to see the heartbeat! That will make it all feel more real I think! It still doesn’t feel real.
You and i have our appointments on the same day. I'm so looking forward to seeing the heartbeat. Like you, i also worry cos it doesnt seem real right now, since there are no signs of anything going on down there, except for the bloat.
edit: fixed typos.
Some light nausea (more in the afternoon), cramps, and definitely fatigue! I've been napping every day when I get home from work.
First appointment isn't until September 10th. It feels like forever away, but I'll be well over 7 weeks at that point, so I'm hoping to hear a heartbeat.
I'm 34 and SO is 35. I'm cautiously excited but like others on this thread finding it hard not to be super anxious at the same time! It's really helpful to read through these comments to know that others are feeling the same. We haven't told anyone yet because I really want to get through the first appointment first.
