Oh my word- the Pregnancy Brain is AWFUL this time around for me!!! I don't remember it affecting me as much this early during my first pregnancy either- I'm saying dumb things/getting my words & thoughts mixed up. I am forgetting and misplacing everything! My husband thinks it's hilarious because I normally am pretty organized...all I can say is I'm glad I'm not the only "dummy" out there!:)0

Everyone's been quiet! I hope ya'll are all doing well. Just thought I would make a confession. I had my first pregnancy binge this past Saturday night. Oh my. I ate about 700 calories in one sitting for dessert, which consisted of girl scout thin mints, m&m pretzels, & cookie cake!!!! It put me over my daily goal about 600-700 too. I just couldn't control myself, it was terrible. Has anyone else done this yet? I also went over by a few hundred Friday. Not starting this 1st trimester off so well lol. Now since Monday, when m/s started, I HAVE to eat at least every 2 hours or I get really nausiated. I just want my normal appetite & stomach back!0

Kerrbear.. don't feel bad. yes, we have all done it
even though we might not admit it!! I was doing sooooo good and the other day I had chips/salsa/queso/ TWO FRIED FISH TACOS (i usually get grilled) and the fries off my daugthers plate. I think I was like... Oh, well, I've fallen off the wagon may as well make the best of it!
I can so tell a difference too because I felt like crap! but it was worth it and I have been thinking about those stupid tacos ever since. I never get the regular ones... so now that I know what I'm missing those grilled tacos sure won't taste as good! grrrrr....
This happened the last pregnancy. I never really ate real ice cream or real ranch dressing. Then, I did (not together) so I knew how great the "real" stuff tasted! Ha!0 -
Hi ladies!!
First time mom, due Oct 26. Just saw our first ultrasound yesterday!!! There's a heartbeat, it's REAL!!! I can't believe I'm pregnant some days, and then the nausea kicks in, and I'm already planning to ground the kid for making mommy sick. LOL.
I'm in a unique situation: I have the Lap Band, with which I lost over 100 lbs years ago and kept it off, but I still needed to lose another 50. I'm at 210 right now, but despite NOT dieting at all, and having the band fixed twice, I've not gained any weight. I had just bought a Garmin HRM/GPS wristband to train marathon walking this spring in preparation for trying to have a baby and to drop 30 lbs. I bought an ovulation app, went for a prenatal visit with my PCP, even started on prenatal vitamins. I was determined to get myself ready for tater...and guess what. The first time Todd and I said, eh, we don't need to "prevent" this time...BAM! preggo.
I'm delirious with happiness. He'd already proposed formally before we knew we'd conceived. Our families are drunk with joy and now that it's real, I'm becoming Mommy and putting myself on a schedule with good diet and exercise.
One thing tho...My doctor said even though traditional guidelines say someone with my BMI (obese) should not gain more than 10 - 20 lbs, he said because of my height (5'7) I WOULD gain 25 - 35 lbs. He said most of it is baby, placenta, amniotic fluid. Once I had baby I'd probably be the same weight or close to it.
That surprised me...but I'm not taking it as a license to eat. I am not thrilled I'm 210 lbs still, BUT, I NEVER want to go back to 300 lbs! I joined this group to help me track and stay mindful with other ladies.0 -

Welcome! I think we'll be having our babies very close together! I'm due 11/2, but will have a c-section about 1wk before my due date. It's happy to hear stories of families being so happy with a pregnancy...brings tears to my eyes as some families out there are less than supportive. I started my last two pregnancies at 204lbs and gained around 25lbs each (and I'm only 5'3") and lost all the gained 25lbs by 3 months after giving birth. And I didn't watch what I was eating then, just ate what I wanted really. You won't have the same body afterwards, but I'm sure the weight will come off.

I posted this on the first trimester board, but this one seems a bit more active, so I'll post here, too:
Hi everybody,
I've been lurking around this group since I got my BFP on Feb 25, and this is my first posting (aside from my intro). I had an appt with my GP last week, and he is referring me to an OB/GYN as he doesn't deliver babies. I spoke with the GP's receptionist today, she said I won't get a call back about my first OB/GYN appt for about a month, at which point I'll be about 10-11 weeks. It seems kind of late to me, I thought I would be in for my appointment by that time, not just setting one up at that point. Is this normal, or does it seems late to you ladies? Also, I just made a long-distance move last year, so my GP is fairly new to me. My old GP was my doc from birth to age 29, and I also had a female gyno for several years, who, after I got married, always said, "Call as soon as you get pregnant and I'll get you in early!" I'm not sure if I'm questioning things because I'm a nervous first-timer, or if because I don't know my new doc as well as my old ones so I'm questioning things more... My husband and I haven't told anybody yet that we're expecting, I was hoping to wait until my first OB/GYN appt (I know far too many people who m/c around the 6-8 week mark, and my in-laws are the type who like to bring things up over and over and I'm afraid that if I do m/c they'd want to talk about it all the time). To add to the stress of keeping everything to myself at this point, hubby is 3 time zones until late Saturday, so things fester in my mind all day until I get to talk to him just before bed time....
Anyway, sorry that was so long, just a lot on my mind and nobody to talk to right now!

Hey Jodi,
I was pregnant last year and miscarried at 9 weeks. My first ultrasound/appointment wasn't scheduled until 11 weeks at first. I had to beg some folks in the office to let me come in early for an untrasound because I knew I was going to be at a party with all my friends the next week and wouldn't be able to "fake it" around them. When I got to the ultrasound room, there was no heartbeat. The main reason that they gave me for the later appointment is that insurance is covering less and less of the prenatal visits.
I am now freshly pregnant again (just took a test 2 days ago) and I will do everything I can to hear a heartbeat as soon as possible. I have two friends that are about a month ahead of me and both of them were able to go in right around 9 weeks for an ultrasound and to hear the heartbeat. I don't know why it is different with every doc office. I would call and see if they can see you earlier. Tell them you are a nervous first-timer and you need some peace of mind.
Good luck with everything!

congrats!! It's funny I feel weird posting on here because I have not told anyone yet. (well, besides my husband).... but I'm going to try to eat healthy and not go crazy!! I hope this helps, plus I'd like to keep up with other women who are also pregnant and focused on a healthy lifestyle.
Me too! Just told my parents because I need my step-dad to help do some accelerated home repairs with my husband Everyone else is in the dark until after 12 weeks which should mean I'll be telling everyone at Easter!
I'm due October 26th, that's the tentative date of course until my first ultrasound in two more weeks.0 -
Second child due on October 20,20120

Had my 1st ultrasound yesterday and saw the little gummy bear! They dont' do the doppler during 1st trimester anymore, at least there, but we saw the heart beating and the little nubs of arms & legs moving around. We were very surprised to be able to see that this early. It was very exciting and heart warming! According to LMP my due date is 10/26 and the ultrasound was only off by one day showing me as a day less, but she said he will stick with my original due date.
8 wks 4 days now. M/S has gotten sooooooooo much better. It's practically non-existent. That had me concerned so seeing the ultrasound yesterday eased my mind tons! Now that the M/S is better and I don't feel the need to eat as much maybe I can go back to a normal weight gain for this trimester. Up 3 lbs already but maybe I can salvage it and keep it within the 5lb range. Yesterday was the 1st day in about 2 weeks that I did not go over my calories but I was actually under....shew finally.
Good luck with everyone's 1st ultrasounds!!0 -

Yay I'm so excited for you! We have the same due date! My appointment isn't until April 4th to see the lil' one but knowing that you could see that much now makes me so much more excited for my appointment!0 -

It's so fun to read what everyone is experiencing. I'm due October 28 and had my first ultrasound last week. I was able to hear the heartbeat and see a picture of my little baby! It was so amazing- I wasn't quite prepared for it but loved every second of it!
I had horrible m/s at 5 and 6 weeks and it's starting to subside so that's amazing. I actually lost 3 lbs because I couldn't eat anything. I have a feeling that won't last because I can eat now and am seeming to lean towards junk food. Not ideal but it works
Congrats ladies!
Oh and I feel so funny writing about this because I haven't told anyone IRL yet. I'm thinking Easter weekend will be a good time to share the news.0 -

10/29 here
Yay another October baby! We'll all have halloween themed baby showers :laugh:0 -
I am just going to jump right in!
EDD October 17th.
This baby #4. We have 3 girls. DH is hoping for a little man, but I am kinda hoping for another girl. After 3 I know what to do! Lol.0 -
How's everyone doing? This thread kind of trickled down so I thought I'd bump it back up.
I'm 9 wks 2 days. I'm feeling ok. My MS has subsided for the most part but I am so darn tired all of the time! Naps are officially a part of my daily routine now. My husband comes home every day and wakes me up on the couch. Naps used to ruin my sleeping schedule but I have no problems sleeping any time, any place now!
I'm also experiencing a lot of dizzy spells. I eat and drink water all of the time so I'm not really sure what else I can do for that. It really throws a wrench into my workout schedule. I can walk for maybe 20/30 minutes at a time. I really hope that goes away soon!
My next Dr. appt in next Thurs- just a follow up.
On another note, has anyone ever changed OB's. My regular gyno isn't an OB and I'm not really sure if I connected with the OB who did my first appointment. Thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?

My GP wasn't an OB either, I ended up going to a group of gyno/OBs, they set it up so you see one of each of them (just in case you don't like one of em). Maybe you could find a practice group like that?0 -
I hear you on the fatigue and dizziness! The dizzy spells and blackouts was my first indication I was pregnant actually. I kept falling into walls and stuff. I thought there was something wrong with my thyroid...but it was just baby
I also feel like I could sleep any where any time. Unfortunately I cannot sleep at night! I suffer from insomnia and when pregnant it gets 10x worse. *sigh* Glad you are able to sleep though!
I never had to change my OB luckily. I had a midwife with my 1st and she left the practice she transferred me to a OB in the same practice that she thought I would like...and I have been with him since! 9 years! I feel very blessed to have such a great doctor who knows my history so well. I hope you find a OB you like and get along with!0 -
Napping is now a part of my daily life as well. I usually don't sleep so well but boy I am loving the sleep. Not loving the exhaustion but the sleep is so nice!0
-
Any one else have their m/s start going away and then come back with a unholy vengeance?
Oh and my OB and I changed my due date to October 20th to correlate more with my ovulation date and not my LMP. Which I am really glad about because the 1st u/s said Skittle was measuring behind, but right on target with ovulation dates.0 -
I am due Nov 4th with #2, but will be last week of Oct with a repeat c-sect. I have not been doing much of anything the last 8 weeks because of ms and the tiredness. I am hoping it subsides soon because I want to keep weight gain down as much as possible. Unfortunately I do not have my first apt until the end of April and u/s probably won't be until second apt at 16 weeks. This is pretty routine at my dr's office, just makes for a long wait for me. Looking forward to second trimester and hopefully feeling better soon.0

I have my first ultrasound tomorrow! VERY excited, I know the risks drop a lot once we see a healthy heartbeat and development. We've been waiting to tell everyone until we see the lil' munchkin on camera so hopefully everything goes wonderfully and we can tell the family on Easter!0

Yay!! Enjoy it so much!
I have a follow up Dr. appointment tomorrow. I'm just excited to hear the heartbeat (hopefully)! I had a vaginal ultrasound a few weeks ago and could see and hear the little babe! Amazing- can't wait to hear and see more 0 -

Doctor had an emergency C-section to attend to so they postponed until this afternoon...SO IMPATIENT 0

I didn't really have m/s to start, just a few mornings where I felt slightly nauseaus, or just felt a bit burpy/icky after breakfast. Now I'm at 10w2d ad I'm starting to feel worse. On Friday evening I thought I was going to have to ask my husband to pull over when we were driving because I had a huge wave of nausea. This morning I was a bit queasy, and about 20 minutes ago I was finishing my lunch and almost bolted to the bathroom to get sick. I thought I was in the clear for m/s, but I'm not so sure now!0 -
Oh how frustrating! Darn ladies and their need to have babiesDoctor had an emergency C-section to attend to so they postponed until this afternoon...SO IMPATIENT
jls8209 - That is what is going on. I had m/s in the very beginning...then it eased up and now it is worse!!! Ugh I hate it! I am 11w 4d and thought it was supposed to be getting better...not worse.
TMI QUESTION!!! Please forgive me....but I need to ask. I never had this with my other pregnancies.... *ahem* Has anyone else finding themselves horney beyond all belief? :blushing:
DH and I have not been having much sex because of 1) My fear of another m/c 2) Feeling sick 3) Being waaaay tired 4) Having to use vaginal progesterone suppositories before bed 5) kids But all of sudden I want it like ALL the time. Because DH works so much and all the other above factors we still aren't getting much bedding time except on the weekends...then it is on like Donkey Kong!
Am I the only one? I thought sex drive wasn't supposed to ramp up till like after 20 weeks. I feel almost like a perve....:embarassed:0
