SAHM Things you like to do?
Things are pretty hectic around here so my hobbies are limited to reading and watching Bravo.
Spouse/Partner: Husband and I have been together since 2011, married since 2015.
First appointment? February 14th
Any symptoms? Constant need to pee, a little cramping, breakouts.
Found Out: we were trying so I started taking tests about 9 DPO (ok, probably 5 DPO if I am being honest, ha). Had quite a few negatives because I was testing so early. Then one day, after getting another negative that morning, I was sitting at my desk and all of a sudden my boobs felt super tingly and like a big rush of blood was entering. So I took a test and it was a squinter but I knew.
Other Kids: yes, a wonderful seven year old son. I am a little stressed about the age difference so I will be seeking/reading any similar scenarios. We also have a huge dog amd I am already stressed about his frequent barks waking sleeping newborn....
Job: I own a nonprofit consulting firm.
Likes: watching TV (esp Bravo; currently watching The Crown), reading magazines (esp food magazines), building elaborate Lego buildings, cooking.
Spouse: yes, he is an attorney and we have been together 17 or 18 years, married for 10.
First appt: because of some complicated medical issues I am dealing with I already saw a perinatologist at six weeks, akd we saw a heartbeat. Which was reassuring and great, esp in light of other medical stuff. Next up we see a genetic counselor and then have a "normal" first appointment on Feb 3rd w my regular ol' OBGYN. I will see the perinatologist a few more times too.
Symptoms: boobs sore and heavy and huge, nausea almost constantly, strong sense of smell, weird food cravings and aversions (my favorites all seem so gross now like coffee and salads).
I am happy to be here and co congratulations to all of you!
@clammycolt My sister was 7 and I was 5 when my brother was born and we loved it. We were big enough to really understand what was happening and to help out a little and honestly we've been his extra parents his whole life. We fought A LOT but we were fiercely protective of him.
We also have a loud dog and honestly I have the world's loudest husband (plus at the time my stepdaughter was a senior in high school so I had teenagers around quite a bit) and I was really worried about having a sleeping newborn in the mix but I think he was so used to the dog and the husband and the bustle of our house (I gave up on trying to shush everyone pretty quickly) that he slept straight through. Now once he is out he is out. You can play music full tilt or watch telly and this kid can sleep through it all. It is one of the few things I will concede that my husband was right about.
@beaandthebabes, thank you for that! We have not told him yet but it is his biggest dream (to be a big bro). I love hearing that you and your sis loved having a newborn join your crew. Thanks!
@clammycolt I lived in Portland for 2.5 years and my H Is from there so his whole family is still in oregon. I hope to move back eventually because I love it!
@clammycolt Our 1st and 3rd are 9 years apart and they have the most incredible relationship! I was nervous because he was hoping for a brother and got a sister. The minute he saw her at the hospital that’s all it took. She had him wrapped around her fingers! Each day before school if she’s still asleep he has to wake her up to say goodbye, he is so gentle and helpful with her 24/7. It’s wonderful and I don’t foresee it changing much.
How’d you find out? Hubby and I had been trying with no luck for 8 months, I have very erratic cycles and we cant figure out why. It wasn't surprising to have spotting and then no period, but that was how it happened last time. I had all the stuff lying around so I just figured why not take another HPT, and bam BFP shocked and elated!
Other children/pets? 1 DD almost 6yr old, not the age gap we wanted but blessed to get another at all. 3 cats, sibling throw always I found by the road and a kitten for my daughter.
Job? Radiologic Technologist, for almost 10 years now. I take all precautions and have no safety concerns for my current job.
Things you like to do? Read, sleep, play games with my kiddo
Spouse/partner? Hubby and i have been married for 7 years, know each other since 7th grade
First appointment? First official appointment is 2/14 but I am lucky enough to work with doctors willing to US so I've one unofficial US
Any symptoms? Sore boobs, so much worse than 1st pregnancy. Nauseous at different points of the day, starving and disgusted by food like a revolving door.
Hi everyone, glad to have found this group! Assuming everything goes well, I will be a first time mom!
Due date?
September 5th, based on LMP.
How did you find out?
Took a test (and one to confirm) when I was about five days late. Both BFPs! Came out and gave my husband two thumbs up which he took to mean “all clear, not pregnant.” 😂
Job?
Currently unemployed and looking for a job, so that’s a bit stressful! Have worked in public radio for the past five years but quit my most recent position in September to move closer to family.
Hobbies?
Reading, writing, walking, talking.
Other children/pregnancies?
Nope!
Pets?
Nope again.
Spouse?
Married, coming up on our first wedding anniversary in Feb. My husband is a UK citizen so we’re also going through the immigration process. Lots happening, but we have faith all will work out.
First Appointment?
Scheduled for 2/11, my lucky date!
Symptoms?
Mild nausea, sore boobs and slight cramping. Fatigue for sure. Got scared by some light pink spotting the last couple days (around 8 weeks) but seems OK and trying not to worry. Looking forward to my first appointment!
Just a heads up I probably will not be posting much do to the trauma of our last pregnancy (TFMR) and now this one being high risk due to an SCH. I'm around 6+3
Due date? 9/18, my LC birthday, which is insane. He was 5 days late so his due date was actually 9/13.
How’d you find out? DH demanded I take a test because I was having emotional breakdowns all week. My LC is 2 and I've ovulated maybe 5 times since I got pregnant with him. I didn't think pregnancy would be possible without ovulation induction meds, so this kind of surprised us (though I know how babies are made)
Other children 1 son, he's two. Things you like to do? Read, exercise, cook, hang out with friends and family. Spouse/partner? Husband, married 4 years. First appointment? Had an ER visit last Thursday and a follow up OB appointment today thanks to massive bleeding from an SCH. So far we have seen baby's heartbeat twice and things look good. But I'm on pelvic rest and generally told to take it easy.
Any symptoms? My morning sickness has already started, but mostly at night. I'm going to bed early and sleeping as much as I can.
How’d you find out? Super impatient testing, as this was our first month trying. We were very surprised to get a positive test at 9 dpo.
Other children/pets? Neither, though I would love a fur baby!
Job? I do acquisitions for an academic library. I love it!
Things you like to do? Reading, traveling, TV with the SO, baking, hiking/backpacking
Spouse/partner? My husband and I have been married for almost 9 years. He's super supportive and awesome, but we're a bit stressed because he doesn't have a full time job right now. 🙃
First appointment? 2/5 for intake and then we'll schedule the ultrasound from there
Any symptoms? Aside from the usual sore boobs and heightened sense of smell, I've also had a couple of freaky blood pressure drops. I read that's normal, but holy moly I'm not a fan.
Other interesting stuff: I live in Laramie, Wyoming. Our families are all in Georgia and Florida so I'm very excited to have found what seems like a wonderful support system. I'm VERY nervous about being pregnant and am thankful to see that I'm not the only one. I look forward to getting to know all of you!
@flinstone-2 OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!! This is amazing and wonderful news, my friend!!!! I was wondering where you went!! I'm so happy for you and I have EVERYTHING crossed for this rainbow baby!!!

Whatever happens will happen and it will all be okay.
@flinstone-2 so happy to have you here. I’m sorry it’s been bumpy and I’m right there with you about the worries. I’m gonna start the TTGP grad tread here on Thursday.
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*

Other children/pregnancies? This will be our first!
Pets? 1 year old Miniature American Eskimo and a 2 year old ginger cat
Spouse? 4 years together, engaged for 2.. getting married June 11th, 2021. Always wanted my first born at my wedding! x
First Appointment? Had an intake appointment with my new(lovely and amazing) midwife. Next one scheduled in 5 weeks with ultrasound.
Symptoms? I feel like trash but nothing major... knock on wood.
Anything else interesting? My fiance and are thousands of miles away from family and friends so we will be doing this completely alone! Plan on joining some mama groups around town.. but not really interested about sitting around and taking about my child all day. I'm a human too yunno?
beaandthebabes@chasingroygbiv it does seem like SCHs are common. My OB made me feel like this is very touch and go and day to day.. but my radiology report says its small? My other symptoms are crazy strong so I feel like LO is doing well. My OB said most people just don't bleed with them.. She seemed pessimistic rather than some of the optimistic doctors I've heard others have.
@tuesdayw1992 trust me, that not wanting to talk about your child all the time tends to change after they've arrived 😂 Also, if you need some pointers or support, hubby and I also live far from family. It's more difficult, especially when LO is being a pain and you just. Want. Five. Minutes. But it's not impossible. Just means you have to rely on each other and your local support group more

F born June 2018 W born September 2020 #3 due November 2022
@flinstone-2 My doctor wasn't hugely concerned about it and I bled A TON. The nurse at my high risk specialist (for SCH and Placenta Previa) said that they aren't terribly common but that almost everyone she has seen with one was a redhead which I thought was random. They basically kept an eye on it and it eventually went away on its own. I bled from it randomly throughout the first half of my pregnancy at one point for about a week straight. I am 100% not a doctor or a person with really any more knowledge than the google can give me but I did have a fairly large SCH and it really didn't bother anything apart from scaring me a few times. I'm not sure if something like location could make it more of a scary thing?
@beaandthebabes wait, what?! I'm a redhead, are you? When I gave birth to my son the doctor told me that I needed to take my prenatal vitamin for a few extra months because "redheads bleed more" and he assumed i lost a decent amount of blood. Also, did your doctor put you on bedrest or pelvic rest? I'm on pelvic rest and have stopped exercising for now because I'm afraid to irritate it.
@flinstone-2 One of my doctors (I have a few) said he doesn’t get “too excited” about SCH unless it’s large and close to baby. TW* I had them with my losses, but I also had them with 2 of my successful pregnancies! They weren’t very big. Hard to know with so many differing opinions! Try and think positive even though I know that can be easier said than done.
@flinstone-2 I am a redhead. I was put on pelvic rest. Basically they told me to be gentle with myself but not to be too stressed. I had an emergency c-section and my blood loss wasn't too bad. @chasingroygbiv One of my doctors said that if I had it with one pregnancy I would likely have it with others. I was hoping that wasn't true but that sounds pretty conclusive.

Also, if you need some pointers or support, hubby and I also live far from family. It's more difficult, especially when LO is being a pain and you just. Want. Five. Minutes. But it's not impossible. Just means you have to rely on each other and your local support group more

I am 100% not a doctor or a person with really any more knowledge than the google can give me but I did have a fairly large SCH and it really didn't bother anything apart from scaring me a few times. I'm not sure if something like location could make it more of a scary thing?

@chasingroygbiv One of my doctors said that if I had it with one pregnancy I would likely have it with others. I was hoping that wasn't true but that sounds pretty conclusive.
