    Hi again all - I've been having mild abdominal pressure (and the occasional cramp) - those also scare me as I had a m/c in October. But, I'm just hoping it's the uterus stretching and not something else!! As far as other symptoms go, they still seem to be there, which I am thankful for. I have nausea that comes and goes, although sometimes food *makes* me nauseous instead of helps! Definitely seem to be having some mood swings, bleeding gums when I floss, peeing a bunch, and super exhausted. Oh and a big huge zit on my back. Ugh LOL. How are you all feeling? Hope you're having a good Thursday!

    Oh and kmburns3 - yes it is very overwelming!!! I have been looking at maternity clothes too even though I know I won't need them for a while (I'm due Sept. 24).

    All the "stuff' is overwhelming and honestly you don't need half of it, add it all up and its gets very expensive too... you get it and don't use it and it a waste or you barely use it and again its a waste of space or they are not interested in it. I had a swing with my first and NEVER used it, but upon having the second.... you don't hold as much as there are 2 to split time between we did use it then. But I have always loved the bouncy/vibration chair.

    Anyone else having practically no symptoms? I know I should be grateful but I just don't feel pregnant.

    Yes!! It was the same for my fist! Sometimes I don't feel pregnant at all. I am JUST starting to get tired, I guess. And my husband might say I'm a bit more moody but not really...Sometimes I get this feeling that it was a false positive or something ha ha

    Welcome to the new joiners! I have to say, I'm so glad I found this group. I've had constant, low-grade cramps for the last week and a half, and it's very reassuring to learn that I'm not the only one.

    Apart from the cramps, I don't feel too different, actually. One thing I have noticed is that I no longer want coffee. But not wanting coffee doesn't change my long-established chemical dependence on caffeine. So I have to force myself to drink a cup in the morning, or deal with the headache all day if I don't. Should I just cut the coffee, and hope the headaches go away eventually?

    Same here on the cramps side and coffee!

    I slowly weened myself off coffee this week. Even though I still crave it, I don't get headaches anymore. I just drank less and less each day.

    Due September 14, 2013 with our first. We are insanely excited after 2 and a half years of trying. We mc-ed last July and are praying for a sticky baby. We are 7 weeks today and saw the heartbeat last Thursday. :happy: I didn't experience any morning sickness until 6 1/2 weeks. At first I was worried, and I now realized I should have enjoyed it! Heartburn and nausea equals no fun. Enjoy being symptomless!

    Gah... woke up at 3:40 this morning because of a pain in my right hip and could not go back to sleep. Sciatica? Other than that and the occasional insomnia, I've been pretty lucky when it comes to not having many adverse symptoms. I'm at 7 weeks - due Sept 15ish? My first appointment is a week from Wednesday so I hope to get a more official due date at that time.

    Also, cannot stop eating today! I'm on vacation, so there are a lot of tempting treats to fend off!

    Hi everyone! I'm due September 8th. We've had a scan and everything was going just fine: heart beat and a good length. I've felt queasy for a while and started throwing up last Thursday. I wonder if this is because the littlie is moving from feeding off the yolk sac to attaching to the placenta, which must be a change hormonally.

    I was at goal weight when I got pregnant and my weight shot up 3kg (about 6lb?) in 3 weeks. For the last 3 weeks it's plateaued, which is the same pattern as with my son. The queasiness makes my appetite very variable. I'm not logging anything or using my fit bit for now. If I've gained too much at 20 weeks I might start logging again, but mainly I just want to listen to my body. As for exercise, as exhaustion triggers my vomiting and I don't drive, I'm trying to rest as much as possible. I didn't leave the house yesterday and I didn't throw up, so I may be best off being boring for a while :laugh:

    I had meat cravings in the first few weeks, not having eaten meat since I was 11, so had a few mouthfuls, but I've gone off it again now. I have been anaemic since having my son and losing weight, so that may have been the cause.

    Hope everyone's doing well. Xxx

    I'm due Sept. 30th with my first!! :D
  • I am due Sept 28th (pending confirmation from my doc on Friday).

    I have been finding my appetite has been lower than usual. I have to update my tracker for maintenance.

    I have three month left my PT so I am hoping to have minimal weight gain in my first trimester and then a healthy 25 to 30lbs weight gain for the rest of my pregnancy.

    I know I am going to confirm with my doc about having my heart rate going higher than 140bpm. When I'm running/jogging, I'm usually at 155-165bpm.

    MrsBarkhouse - ya I have't been all that hungry, until this week (I am 6w1d now). I thin the super-hunger is supposed to come a little later when the baby gets bigger. FX for you!!!
  • I just started my 9th week and my clothes are already getting too tight! :embarassed: Super embarassed. I guess I better watch my calories a little closer.

    Well, just had the first ultrasound, and baby is measuring slightly further along than we thought, a couple of days, and has a really good strong heartbeat. We're very relieved and very happy, and have some pics on a disc, one of which features the baby looking the shape of a tiny little roast chicken. The other new s is that the ob thinks there might be another nestled back there as well, so having another u/s in 2 weeks to check. Exciting times!

    Oh, and I've been told to gain virtually no weight..back to counting for me.
  • Hi my name is Hanna, have been waiting a while for a Sept 2013 group to start :)

    Lets get our dates down...

    Kimf412 - Sept -
    VickyClare75 - 2nd Sept -
    Pukenui - 5th Sept - (Hanna)
    toonces80 - 9th Sept -
    Bella692 - Early Sept

    What are your goals during pregnancy? Mine is to lose weight very slowly during the first trimester, with the guidance of a pregnancy dietician. I was getting into the swing of weight loss and was having great results when i found out i was pregnant, so want to keep it up, at a healthy rate of course!!!

    Congratulations everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Hanna, would you update me please? I was VickyClare75 and have restarted on here. Could you change my name please :)
  • Good Morning, Everyone! I am so excited to find this discussion board. What are your thoughts on starting a group? I have gone through the posts and put together our due dates. Let's continue updating! I have some listed as TBD because they gave a "mid month" date or didn't post a date (that I saw). Congrats ladies!!

    I am due Sept 23, 2013. Not quite sure that it's accurate as I got pregnant immediately following a miscarriage. I did not have my period. This will be my second, as I have a daughter. She'll be two months shy of her 3rd birthday when baby #2 is due.

    Seams - thanks for listing out the due dates! I didn't realize there were so many of us on this thread. Congrats and good luck ladies! I go for my first OB appt (and hopefully ultrasound) on Tuesday. Getting more and more excited, but also very nervous.
  • Hey! No problem. Good luck on Tuesday!
