Chicky - My first appointment is scheduled for May 14! I can't wait. And my first ultrasound is on May 2 where I'll be a little over 6 weeks. I'm so nervous that I'm going to go to the ultrasound and nothing will be there!
Wow, you are lucky to get in so early, I'm going to be almost 11 weeks at my first, now sure exactly what they are doing though.0 -

Awww, like a graduate :flowerforyou:0 -
I'm joining Faughorn- see you ladies in a few weeks! Enjoy your first ultrasounds and Dr's appointments!
And hopefully some of you will move out of the m/s and tiredness. I am finally starting to feel human again! I don't feel like I'm going to fall asleep every ten minutes and I can actually eat regular food!
Good luck all! Off to 2nd tri!0 -
I am officially joining this thread!
I have to keep telling myself "your pregnant", because it has taken me 9 years to get here. I'm a little over 5 weeks, so it's still quite early, and I'm due 12/19 (first child).
So far, I've only had some mild nausea a couple of times, peeing A LOT, and semi-sore breasts.
I was trying to log calories, but I'm kind of giving up on that. I still measure everything out to make sure I'm not going overboard. I gained about 10-15 pounds during our IVF cycle, because I can't diet when I'm stressed. So, I feel really pudgy already.
I have my first ultrasound on May 3rd when I'll be a little over 7 weeks. I can't wait!!! They transferred two embryos in, so I'm excited to see how many babies we may have. I have a gut feeling that it's only one, but my husband is sure it's twins.

Welcome to all of the newbies! Its so nice to hear that everyone is moving right along!
I've been MIA lately, sorry pals! I've been hit by the lazies and have become a zombie. I am finally not feeling the nausea anymore which is awesome! Still having some food aversions but I think it will be easier to eat and log my calories without the nausea. I'm having issues with constipation (boo) my dr. told me that it was okay to take colace. I feel so bloated and fat already! My boobs are huge, for me (lol)! We had our first appt yesterday at what I thought was 8wks, they feel like i'm 7wks, which whatev. However, when she checked me she said my uterus felt bigger than 7 wks, but when she tried to use the us to hear the heart beat there was nothing. So now i'm going for an US so they can measure the babe and see how far along I really am and I am going for routine bloodwork. Hopefully, we'll find out my edd soon! My MIL thinks that its twins and thats why my uterus is larger, who knows. I'm a fraternal twin, so it does run in our family.
I'm going to start logging my food again since the nausea went away and aiming to get aleast 30min of some sort of exercise 6days a week!0 -
I had my 1st Ob appt yesterday too. I'm 8wks3d. I got an ultrasound and I was able to see my little gummy bear's heart beating. My boobs feel bigger too and they are so tender. My edd is November 28th..Keep us updated!Welcome to all of the newbies! Its so nice to hear that everyone is moving right along!

Glad to hear appointments are going well! One more week until mine. Am I the only one who is ridiculously hungry?? It's almost annoying. I must exercise tonight or I'm going to be way over calories again. This baby is hungry!0

I'm Nov 28 too! Today was the first day I haven't felt sick. I am suddenly ravenous and made a huge dinne rof mashed potatoes and homemade chicken tenders. I am trying not to go back for seconds...0

Nope, not alone... I have morning sickness in the morning then by afternoon feeling better and then starving...it's like what the heck? Then finally calms down several hours later...0 -
I've been eating a lot more too! My mom visited today and told me she was in maternity clothes by 6 weeks when she was pregnant with me! I bought myself a "Prenatal Pilates" dvd that I will hopefully do everyday. I'm a little worried to be doing core work right now, but the lady in the video is 36 weeks pregnant and looks awesome. Anyone have any opinions on doing core work in the first trimester?0

From what I've read, there are no issues with it. I personally haven't done much specific core work, but I'm working my core when I do zumba or turbo jam. Also I still do some strength training that works my core like push ups and planks.0 -
You know, I researched the core work thing a lot, and everything I've heard says it's okay. After the second tri, most sites recommended avoiding any exercises where you lay on your back, something to do with the vagus nerve?? My ob said it was fine and to keep doing everything I was already doing as much as I felt up to.
You know, has anyone else found that exercising helps their nausea? I find I'm much less nauseous mid-day if I've exercised, and dinner will stay put more. Think I'm just imagining it?
On a side note, I'm eating a handful of sour jelly beans and pickle slices, together, for a snack right now. It's staying put, and it's DELICIOUS. How pregnant is that!0 -

I have found that exercising really helps nausea and fatigue. I haven't felt too bad and I have a feeling that exercise has really helped that....jelly beans and pickles...interesting lol I am kind of upset I haven't had any weird food things like that yet! 0 -
I'm also hungry all the time.. so I think this is normal.. I set my calories to maintenance calories and I find if I stick to that, I'm fine during the day.
For your core, I heard it was super good to keep your core in shape and even strengthen in, because you'll be using it alot during delivery.. just don't do the exercises where you're laying on your back... Yoga, Tai chi, zumba, all great for that
I'm feeling a little better, my nausea is waaaayyy down, and I feel like I have more energy
I don't know if i'm imagining things, but I feel my baby bump already, and I'm in maternity pants all the way lol.. only gained 2 pounds so far, so I'm still on track - I'm at 10 weeks
Dr. appt in 1 week!!! :flowerforyou:0 -
I'm only 4+ weeks and my boobs feel bigger already!0

I'm only 4+ weeks and my boobs feel bigger already!
I'm still waiting for that symptom! haha So is my husband, but I can tell he's keeping an eye on it!
Thanks for the core advice ladies, I will go ahead and start my Prenatal Pilates. I watched it this weekend (while lounging on the couch eating goldfish crackers), and I can only hope to look like the instructor does at 36 weeks! (I know that's not likely!)
The fatigue seems to have hit me today, and I have slight nausea occasionally, but that's really all except for the peeing all the time. I was feeling anxious today about all of it, because now all we can do is sit and wait until the ultrasound, so I had my hcg levels checked again. (I work in a medical clinic, so all I have to do is ask!) They have doubled quickly since last Wednesday! I think they have bets going at work on if there will be two in there!

That is also what my husband seems most concerned with...lol...men! The fatigue sucks, just hang in there. That's really the main symptom I had, I feel a little naseous if I don't eat regularly but nothing too bad.0 -

Hi I joined MFP a little over a week ago. I have quite a bit of weight to lose. I found out yesterday that I am 9 weeks pregnant!!! I am a little terrified because although i was a healthy weight with my last pregnancy 5 years ago i developed pre eclampsia so this time around i am quite concerned. I just want to have a healthy pregnancy and hopefully not gain more weight than i really need to. I am aiming to walk, cross trainer and swim on alternate days with rest days too. I was thinking i might try zumba too. Glad there is this group : )0

Congratulations!! I understand about not wanting to gain more weight than what is needed. I think I'm off to a bad start already!
chickybuns - I went to bed last night at 7pm!!!! I told my husband "I do NOT feel guilty, my body is busy growing a baby!". I guess I did wake up at 8:30 to eat a cupcake that he brought home with him...0
