March 2014 babies

I have my first ultrasound on the 22nd. When I went to the OB to confirm the pregnancy on the 11th, he said it was borderline too early to confirm a heartbeat, so I am looking forward to seeing that. (Candb- I hope maybe that was what happened with you- it was too early to see it. +++ vibes to you.)
I am now having nausea (all day, no puking though) and constipation, and fatigue. And food aversions.
I reset my settings here to gain 1/2 lb per week, but my plan is to try to eat under that until 2nd trimester. Weight gain in 1st trimester should be miniml (1-5 lbs) so no need to go crazy with extra calories now, especially since I am just barely into the "normal" BMI range. My main concern is the choices I am making. Vegetables sound revolting, I can do fruit, but my sodium and sugar counts are going way over what they should be.0 -

Hey agian all! Looks like we have a good group going here. Mommy_hood - thanks for inviting us! I'll join.
AFM, yesterday was a "good" day of symptoms. I had some very vivid dreams, was extremely tired (husband said I was walking around like a zombie when I woke up), and my boobs hurt quite a bit. Today the symptoms are a little less noticeable but I was nauseous walking into work. It seems like my symptoms come and go and that happened with my last pregnancy too. I'm on my 3rd pregnancy, but this is my first baby, as I miscarried at 6weeks (in October), and then at 14weeks (in March). So, I love all of the symptoms!! I'm still hoping this is a sticky baby. Hope you're all doing well.0 -
Hi ladies! I'm new to this board and due March 12th. After 2 years of TTC, we were finally successful with IVF. First ultrasound appt next week. Excited to see if one or two embies have stuck!0

Due date March 14th....first baby. I am super nervous and excited at the same time, I was 11 pounds into my weight loss goals, I wanted to lose another 40ilbs. But I understand the importance of being healthy thanks to MFP so that my weight gain is within healthy rage. Will be switching to maintenance and hopefully enjoying the ride...0

So I am freaking out just a little. I started spotting pink yesterday, just a small amount but it really freaked me out. I had a pelvic exam 6 days ago but I wouldn't think that would have anything to do with it? I'm not having any cramping and I already called the OB clinic and they told me not to worry unless its bright red and alot of it, or if I have severe cramping. Has anyone else had this happen? I don't remember it happening with my son. My next appt isn't until the 30th so I just need some more positive feedback. Thank you!0

some spotting can be normal during early stages of pregnancy. if your D isn't all that concerned I wouldn't be either, but to put your mind at ease you can always request to be seen, your body your baby. is this your first pregnancy?0

Hi everyone, I've just found out I am pregnant with #2. It's a bit of a surprise so still getting used to the idea! I am unsure of exact due date but it will most likely be late March. I have blood tests next week and a dating scan in a couple of weeks.
Hope to stay fit and healthy in this pregnancy as in my last I ate everything and anything and did little exercise.0 -
Hello!
This is baby #1 for me and is due March 14th. I am super excited. This is my 3rd pregnancy but the first 2 ended in miscarriages. This pregnancy has been a roller coaster so far.
I had light cramping and was urged to go to the ER because of my history even though I wasn't bleeding. At 5 weeks 4 days the Dr. couldn't see a baby in the gestational sac and thus gave me the diagnosis of a blighted ovum.
1 week later I went for a follow up with my OBGYN and SURPRISE there inside was a healthy baby with a strong heart beat and a new yolk sack.
I am completely thrilled to be having an amazing pregnancy so far. I have light morning sickness and am extremely tired but a nap and some sprite and I am back at being able to workout and keep in shape.
I am looking forward to taking this long wonderful adventure with all of you!! My goal is to only gain about 20-25lbs as I am slightly overweight.
I have started doing prenatal yoga and I have already started using The Tracy Anderson: Pregnancy Project and I am loving both. I also have continued to go to the gym with my husband lifting light weights. I am now doing a working out of some kind at least once a day and sometimes twice a day. Working out really seems to help with my nausea especially the yoga!0 -
BabiesComing - hi! This is my 3rd pregnancy as well, with 2 previous m/c. I hope we both have sticky babies! I am due March 15. My first ultrasound is next week on Wed. I am nervous but looking forward to seeing if things are going well. It will be nice just to have a check up to know if I can start getting excited.
So how are you all doing? I have a UTI (yay). I went to Urgent Care on Friday and am now taking cephalexin (antibiotic) 2x a day for 10 days. Am also drinking cranberry juice, and that really seems to help. I definitely don't like taking antibiotics but I know the UTI needs to be treated. My symptoms come and go. I'm usually a little nauseous in the morning, and have lots of urps throughout the day (where stuff comes up your throat and then goes back down... yuck!). Am also having lots more saliva. I'm starting to count down the weeks to the 2nd trimester. :-)0 -
Hi everyone! I'm due march 27. I had my hcg betas done at 5 and 5+2 and my numbers were 8000 and 15000. Do you think it's strange that it is doubling so quickly still? I have read that doubling should slow down... Also had my first real bout of sickness today. Ugh. I hate throwing up.
Anyway, congratulations to all!! I wish everyone a good and healthy pregnancy!0 -
@Doubleduofa, Babiescoming, and Anniebear: Welcome!
@Moondust: I hope you clear up soon. Uti's suck.
General update: I am starving all the time, but not a damn thing sounds good. I'm also having trouble distinguishing between hunger and nausea.0 -
Hi ladies!
I just found out this past Sunday that I'm pregnant with my first! I think I'm about 5 weeks along (due March 26th-ish according to google), and have my first appointment with my Dr. on 8/22. So excited...and terrified!
As far as fitness and nutrition go, what were the first changes you made to your routine? Immediately, I know I need to drink more water and cut back on the caffeine (which I needed to do anyway!). I tend to eat a lot of frozen meals for lunch- Healthy Choice and the like- are those something I should steer clear of?0 -

More water, less caffeine, yes. I think also higher carbs becomes a thing, depending on what your ratios were before. I used to be a drinker, and thought I would miss it, but beer/wine doesn't even smell good at this point. There are certain things you're not supposed to eat now, cold deli meat, stuff like that. Also, micro nutrient requirements are different, but that's generally covered by your prenatal vit.
As for fitness, most say you can continue what you did before if you have no complications, but at a lower intensity. I'm still lifting, but not as frequently and way lower weight.0 -
hjay - congratulations! I'm due about the same time.
I've just beeing trying to eat more whole foods all around. I haven't been able to work out as much because I'm exhausted and now feeling pretty sick all the time. However, best intentions aside, today, all I can stomach is ruffles chips (only the Lord knows why - I'm not a big chip eater and all other chips sound disgusting) and fruit. I also have some tea and gatorade in my bag.0 -
I haven't started feeling sick at all yet, hopefully it stays that way for a while! So for now I while continue to try and eat healthy and then I guess I will eat anything that I can stand!
I've been doing Jillian Michael's Ripped in 30, do you guys think that's safe to do still? At some point, I'm sure my stomach will get in the way, but for now?0 -
Yes, it's safe. I've hear that you can continue your workout program. If you have complications, or are unually tired, I'd relax a bit, but it is really good for you to remain active.

Hi everyone i'm so excited about this group. I took a test this wknd and it was positive!! I confirmed it at the clinic yesterday, I'm just 7 wks almost 8 wks with a due date for March 14th!!
I am beyond happy and feeling so blessed!! This is my 3rd pregnancy, my two girls are 13 & 12 and we have been trying for another baby for 7 years!! This is an answer to prayer for sure!!
@HealthyBodySi...I'm just curious about the not eating cold deli meat comment, can you give me more info on this? I don't remember this from my past pregnancies.
Thank you

The cold deli meat thing is apparently a risk for listeria (a bacteria). They recommend that you heat your cold cuts in the microwave before eating (or you could put your sandwich in the toaster oven or panini maker). Some women eat cold cuts...it's really up to you.
I'm jealous that you didn't even find out until you were 7 weeks or so. My all day sickness just kick in yesterday at 5+4 and I hate it!0 -
Yeah, listeria.

Wow. According to my diary I just had a 758 cal lunch. And I still feel both starved and nauseous.
Luckily, I have my snack drawer at work.0 -
Welcome new ladies! I'm glad there's more of us posting here.
Healthy - Yep, I'm with you on being hungry and nauseous at the same time.
1 week as of today until my first u/s. I wish it were today!! My food aversions are weird this time. I'm finding that apples are gross (and I LOVE apples).
Also, I went up 2 lbs today. Really weird as I didn't eat a lot yesterday (yogurt and fruit for lunch). I'm hoping it's just water weight. I'm having some lemon in hot water... I heard that helps with water retention.0 -
I just recently found out I'm pregnant, due March 28! I'm super excited, but really nervous too. My last pregnancy ended in a full term stillbirth. I'm hoping for a healthy, active pregnancy this time! 0

My husband was complaining yesterday that even though he didn't do a lot at work, he was unreasonably tired and feeling sort of nauseous. I laughed at him for like five minutes straight and told him he was having sympathy preggo symptoms. He didn't believe me that that was a real thing.0

Hope everyone is feeling good, sending lots of sticky vibes to those of you with previous losses. ++++++++++0

Hi all! Expecting baby #3 March 31 /14. Although we weren't really trying not to conceive I was still a bit surprised. Didn't get a chance to hit my goal weight beforehand so I'm very nervous about weight gain. Need to work hard to keep fit this time around. anyone else in the same boat? 0

Hey ladies. Not so good news here.
This weekend my symptoms went away. I was extremely upset on Sunday, and pretty sure that things were not going well. I had my OB ultrasound appointment today. So, the baby was only measuring 6.5 weeks. I should be 8w4d. The doctor didn't see a heartbeat. She said she wouldn't expect to see a heartbeat if the baby really is that early though. She asked if my periods were regular (they are - usually 28 days, and maybe twice a year they are 30 days). I told her my symptoms had gone away the past few days. She said she still doesn't want to call it yet though. (I do - I'm sure I will miscarry) She's having me take hcg and progesterone blood tests today and Friday (yay more tracks on my arms haha), and then will have me come back next week for another ultrasound no matter how the hcg is looking to see if there's any growth progress. Anyways, I do agree that she's doing the right thing - I know that some cycles do vary, and I know growth rates vary, but I really don't think that's the case for me. The baby could be a little smaller, but 2 weeks smaller is too much of a deviation for me. There was a nice 6.5-week sack and baby... so that was at least nice to see. I'm sure I'll miscarry though. The lack of symptoms is kindof a give-away to me. My husband and I will try again, although I'm sure I'll probably have to go to a fertility doctor for tests etc.
So, I most likely won't be posting again. Good luck to the rest of you all with your pregnancies!! Happy and healthy 9 months.0 -

Ladies ... We are closing in on the end of our first trimester! I don't know about you but these have been the longest 3 months ever! I can't wait for the 12 week ultrasound just to see the bub and make sure everything is okay!0
