Shall we start part 2 off with a roll call? Catch up on part 1 here
Estimated due date: August 1st
How many weeks: 8 weeks today!!!
Weight gain/bloat: I've been fluctuating between +1-3 pounds. Hoping not to gain much more for the first trimester lol but we'll see about that
Symptoms: Not many honestly...which of course makes me worry at times, but I'm also thankful. I'm dealing with sore boobs, mild food aversions (so mild I can still eat them, just don't feel like eating them), and a little more burpy/gassy than usual.
Cravings: CARBS all the TIME!
Next appointment: 1st prenatal appt is the 1st week of January. I've already had a couple U/S though for dating purposes and fetal HR follow up since my first U/S was so early the heart had just started beating.
@skipper2010: Thanks for starting this!!! Can't believe we're already on a second thread!
Estimated due date: August 9st
How many weeks: 6 weeks 4 days!
Weight gain/bloat: I've only put on about .2 of a pound. So, that is good.
Symptoms: Wasn't much at first but things seem to be picking up. Constipation (which is subsiding! thankfully!), gas/burping, sore boobs/nipples, exhausted, and the most recent, morning sickness (managable though).
Cravings: A lot of carbs and yesterday I totally NEEEEDED a booster juice.
Next appointment: I need to book a follow up appointment with my doctor. Just had an U/S last night, baby is healthy with 126 bpm heart rate. Very exciting!
Estimated due date: August 24th
How many weeks: 4 weeks/5 days
Weight gain/bloat: None yet!
Symptoms: Hardly anything! I did have a sore upper back in the beginning but gone now!
Cravings: Water!
Next appointment: 1st prenatal appt is Jan 31st but that may change, we are looking at changing hospitals. Looking at the oh-so-famous Mayo Clinic!
@MrsJuneBee: omg, I didn't even think about water being a craving! I wake up in the mornings feeling like I've been in a desert for 3 months!!!
@.twist.: Yes!! I can drink a full glass of water and still feel like I haven't drank a thing!
@.twist.: @MrsJuneBee: I'm always super thirsty too! No matter how much I drink my mouth still feels dry!
Estimated due date: Aug 11
How many weeks: 6 weeks, 4 days
Weight gain/bloat: I'm still down a couple pounds, but had to go out and buy a pair of jeans that were two sizes bigger than usual to deal with the bloat just to get through my two week vacation from dress pants. And my boobs have finally started getting bigger too :)
Symptoms: Not much. Bloating, and sore boobs.
Cravings: None. No interest in anything remotely sweet. i always love empty carbs, but am trying really hard to take advantage of this time of feeling good to bulk up on my leafy greens and lean proteins.
Next appointment: First OB appointment is Jan 4.
Estimated due date: August 4st
How many weeks: 7w, 4d
Weight gain/bloat: maybe 1 pound
Symptoms: My boobs have been super sore and I've gained at least a cup size. Fatique (in bed by 8 most nights!). The last week morning sickness started, and it's gotten progressively worse. I feel nausea most of the time and have thrown up a couple of times.
Cravings: at this point I'm just trying to find food I can eat...Before the morning sickness I was thirsty all the time, now I can't stand water. Ginger lemonade is a lifesaver.
Next appointment: Jan 4
@MrsJuneBee: So thirsty all the time too. I have a bottle in my purse, because I go from perfectly fine one minute, to "OH MY GOD, I'M SO PARCHED AS IF I'VE BEEN ROAMING THE DESERT FOR WEEKS... I'M GONNA DIE!!" in about 3 seconds flat.
Glad I'm not the only one, of course it just add to the pee'ing too!
Estimated due date: August 1st
How many weeks: 6w/4d
Weight gain/bloat: None
Symptoms: Had some bad nausea for a few days but then didn't have any yesterday. I pretty much didn't stop eating yesterday though so maybe that helped. A pharmacist suggested eating small snacks. I also got pukey for a few days. Like a lot of you I'm super thirsty and drink lemon water alllll day. I've been bloated and for a few days a new level of exhaustion. I slept for 12 hours lastnight, thank goodness I took a vacation day today!
Cravings: Ceasar salad. I've been having more aversions than cravings.
Next appointment: 1st prenatal appt is Jan 28th.
Estimated due date: August 7th
How many weeks: 7 weeks 1 day
Weight gain/bloat: I've actually lost four pounds, but the bloat is ridiculous - I look like I've put on about 10 pounds.
Symptoms: bloat, sore boobs, some occasional cramps, nausea, and a bunch of my favourite foods taste strange
Cravings: fruit sherbet, fries with gravy, and sandwiches with a ton of cheese.
Next appointment: my first midwives appointment is January 2nd, and my first ultrasound is January 11. I see the doctor for bloodwork results, etc on the 15th, and then I'll decide if I want to see the doctor or the midwives.
Estimated due date: August 15th
How many weeks: 6 weeks 2 days
Weight gain/bloat: Not sure...maybe 5ish??
Symptoms: Complete exhaustion (I was sleeping by 8 yesterday!) sore boobs, back ache and random indigestion
Cravings: CARBS all the TIME!
Next appointment: Jan 4th!
So I read today that we can't have chamomile tea! I live on that stuff...
Estimated due date: August 21st
How many weeks: 5+1
Weight gain/bloat: Not checking my weight yet, but I'm pretty bloated at times.
Symptoms: Had some AF-like cramps in the evenings and sore boobs, but both of those are starting to fade which is freaking me out a little. Lots of trips to the ladies room and I'm tired, but not much of anything else.
Cravings: None
Next appointment: First pre-natal is 1/25 so I'm looking forward to that!
@MrsJuneBee: Mayo clinic? Are you a MN Bee?
Estimated due date: FF says August 11, but I really have no idea :(
How many weeks: I don't know for sure. I think I am about 4 weeks, but I have not had a doctor's appointment yet to confirm. Right after I took my at home test, I went to a walk in clinic bc I do not have a family doctor, and he confirmed that I am pregnant. Two days after that, we flew out of the country, and from here we are moving to a new province! I won't know for sure how far along I am until I get a doctor at our new home. The wait is driving me insane!
Weight gain/bloat: It's hard to say. Maybe 2lbs... But it is all bloat/belly fat lol.
Symptoms: Peeing twice as much as normal, some smells make me feel nauseous, and some cramping (which is kind of scary).
Cravings: Carbs, carbs, and more carbs!
Next appointment:
At this point I do not know. I hate that I don't have a doctor, but moving across the country at the same time I find out I am pregnant makes things a bit complicated. That is the first thing on my list when we get to our new home. Even before unpacking lol.
@FutureMrsTimmins: Oh, that would be so frustrating not having a doctor. Are you moving to my part of the country? that could be pretty cool :)
@MrsJuneBee: It is if you're in that part of the state. I'm near the Twin Cities and all we got was a quick flurry this morning. Windy, but no snow!
@MrsCarnival: So far I think we have gotten 4-7 inches or something? Very windy now, I was thinking of cutting out a half hour early to get home! It gets dark so early....
I am constantly thirsty too! I thought it was just me and the fact that I already drink a lot of water to begin with. I am constantly exhausted now which is difficult at the moment because my in-laws are here from out of state for the week and we aren't telling them just yet.
i LOVE this august board of mommies. wishing the BEST for you all!
Estimated due date: August 2nd
How many weeks: 7weeks 5 days
Weight gain/bloat: No weight gain...just a whole lotta bloat! My semi loose pants are starting to feel a little tighter around the waist!
Symptoms: I haven't gotten any intense morning sickness...but from about 3-7pm every night my stomach gets upset...not throwing up yet FX. My boobs were super sore a week or so ago but that has eased up.
Cravings: Cheese and fruit.
Next appointment: I have a lot of appointments coming up thanks in part to my last appointment showing I was not as far along as I thought and to my age (37):
Dec 28th..follow up ultrasound my OB recommmended...and they will go over the results of my blood work I had done a week ago.
Jan 3rd...dating ultrasound required for genetic testing (done at a different hospital downtown)
Jan 7th...CVS test
Jan 22nd....Standard pregnancy check up appointment...and I assume they will go over the results of the CVS
Feb 15th...Standard pregnancy check up appointment
@MrsJuneBee: im a MN bee too! in the cities like Carnival!
sorry guys. i cant make promises not to stalk this thread from time to time. woopsies!
Estimated Due Date: August 21st
How many weeks? 5w2d
Weight Gain/Bloat: Well, for me, I lost 5 ponds the week after my BFP because I cut out caffeine ... but I'm up 3 pounds from that. Otherwise, still the same.
Symptoms: Sore boobs whenever I even lay a finger on them, and holy moly my lower back hurts constantly.
Cravings: Water! I could drink an entire swimming pool and still be thirsty!
Next Appointment: January 22nd! It will be my first appointment at 10 weeks, so I am super excited! Totally jealous of you ladies that had super early u/s!
@.twist.: I actually am! We are moving to Edmonton! We will be there as of January 2nd :)
I'm glad I'm not the only one who is always thirsty! I usually hate water, but that's all I have been drinking... nonstop lol.
Estimated due date: August 7
How many weeks: 7 weeks today!
Weight gain/bloat: I haven't weighed myself in 2 weeks, so I'm not sure. I'll weigh myself again in the morning.
Symptoms: Morning sickness -- I feel sick or at least "off" after almost every time I eat, especially when I eat sweets. I get up at least a few times each night to pee. On and off boob pain. And HOLY CRAP. My dreams are so vivid and realistic it's terrifying.
Cravings: Macaroni and cheese!
Next appointment: Dec. 31 with the OB coordinator, then Jan. 2 for my first appointment with my regular OB. I think I get another ultrasound then. I'll be just shy of 9 weeks.
Estimated due date: August 17
How many weeks: 5 weeks 5 days
Weight gain/bloat: Pretty much the same, I tend to be +/- 3 pounds normally so I'm staying within that
Symptoms: My boobs are super sore and seem to be getting slightly bigger. I'm really small chested (barely an A) so a little growth seems like a whole lot. No morning sickness yet expect for one day when I thought for sure I was going to be sick in front of my students.
Cravings: None yet, but really thirsty like PP
Next appointment: First appointment and ultrasound on Jan. 10th. I can't wait!!!
To any bees who haven't told their families yet, are you planning to over the holidays? I've only told my sister so far, but we are planning to tell my parents when we visit for Christmas. Anyone doing anything exciting to break the news??
@Summer82: I told my mom the same day I got my BFP. Before it all became a reality, I had so many cute ideas to tell them if I found out before Christmas, and now I can't do them. I am kind of wishing we didn't spill the beans so quickly, but I was too excited! I couldn't keep it to myself!
@wifegoodman: no problem! I'm guilty of stalking your board too :)
Estimated due date: August 17
How many weeks: 5 weeks 5 days
Weight gain/bloat: No gain. I always fluctuate +/- 1 lb and am still there.
Symptoms: Occasional nipple soreness, mostly overnight; occasional upset stomach/nausea - and seems to be happening more frequently this week; very thirsty/dehydrated too!!; also, some increased CM -- sometimes thick and stretchy with a white/yellow tinge like EWCM can be in the luteal phase.
Cravings: None, but definitely increased hunger which I'm trying to keep in check.
Next appointment: First appointment and ultrasound on Jan. 2nd!!! Less than 2 weeks now!
@wifegoodman: Wow, there is quite a few of us! I suppose I haven't paid much attention, thinking there wouldn't be many of us!!
Question: How are some of you farther along in your pregnancies, but due before me? According to LMP of 11/14 and a 27 day cycle I am 5+2 right now and due on 8/21. I haven't seen a Doctor yet (not since the simple pee-test confirmation) and won't have my first appointment until 1/25, so maybe some of you have some better insight?
@Summer82: I haven't told anyone but the Bees and I finally get to tell DH on Saturday (tomorrow AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!). I have a little onesie for him to open as a Christmas gift! (the painted-over part is our last name)
He will likely call his family from where he's staying in FL to tell them, but I have these mugs to give to my family on New Year's Day when I'm back in town and can celebrate Xmas with them. So excited!
@FutureMrsTimmins: oooh! I am in Calgary! We're super close! ;)
@MrsCarnival: How are you even able to contain yourself!? I would be going CRAZY!!!!! Also, I just used my due date to figure out yours (you're a week and 3 days behind me, 10 days total, August 9 + 10 day = august 19), my due date is fairly accurate because I know when I ovulated, so I think you should be more like August 19th.
@.twist.: I see. I don't know when I O'ed, so I guess I will just have to go on LMP but it's good to know that I could be closer to the 19th! Does that make me 5+4 instead?
The ONLY thing that has kept my mouth shut is the fact that we already lose so many special moments when he travels and I don't want to make this another important thing that we talk about over the phone. I've been telling myself that he deserves to hear this one in person and that has really kept my resolve up.
@MrsCarnival: I went by my O date too! My O date gives me an EDD of Aug 24th, when I use LMP it says Aug 27th.
I am soooo excited for you tomorrow!!!
@MrsCarnival: Nope, if you are truly 5 weeks and 2 days then you should be August 19. If for some reason you are not 5 weeks and 2 days then that could change your due date (unless of course I don't knwo what I'm talking about at all! haha!) Too bad your next appointment isn't until Jan 25, because then hopefully they'll be able to give you a better idea!
