Saw the heartbeat and even a little arm move around! Doctor said "normal" and 10 weeks 5 days! Right on schedule

Well I'm finally telling everyone, I'm keeping it off of facebook until after our 20 week appointment but I'm telling everyone "important" ahead of time...plus I think my facebook friends list could use a little culling before I go all public with it.

Everyone has been pretty positive. Other than my sister who I think is just feeling jealous, she had two kids without being married and pretty young so she didn't quite get the same reactions as I'm getting. But that's understandable and I think that she'll come around

Hi Everyone!

I'm switching to this thread because my due date was changed to October 1st. That, and this thread is a bit more active than the September 2012 one

Hope you are all doing well!

Yah, this is my 2nd so I'm showing a bit already too- 11 weeks 4 days. I've gained somewhere between 3 to 4 lbs but I've been trying to keep working out pretty reguarly.
Just this week, I've started to finally feel m/s free...I don't want to jinx myself, but it's been WONDERFUL to be able to eat and not feel sick for a half hour to an hour after.
Exciting that most if not all of us are almost into the 2nd trimester!! Just a little while to go:)

Bad news at scan. Ive had a silent miscarriage. Going to hospital on tuesday to have the op.

I hope you ladies have a healthy and happy pregnancy. I shall be leaving the group now.

So sorry, Maria. Thoughts/Prayers your way...

Finally got to see my baby today! Measured at exactly 12w, which is also where I am according my my LMP, so due date is still Oct 29th. On the way to the clinic hubby and I were discussing teeth/braces. He has great, naturally straight teeth, while I have terrible teeth genes on both sides of the family. Mine are cavity-prone and I had braces when I was younger. I told hubby I want to try to avoid soothers/thumb sucking if possible to help prevent the need for braces 13 years down the road, and what did the baby do during the u/s? Stuck it's thumb in its mouth! Looks like it takes after me! :laugh: Hubby was hoping for twins, I was relieved when the u/s tech said there's only one baby in there. :happy:

We're finally going to announce our pregnancy to our immediate families tonight, I can't wait for my parents' reaction! I also can't wait to hear what my cousin will say. We visited with her over easter and found out she is due 2 days ahead of me. It was hard not to spill the beans about my own pregnancy! Still going to wait another week before telling extended family and friends, may tell work next week, too. Will probably depend on how I'm looking, I'm not showing yet, but I'm definitely not as slim as I was a few weeks ago!

I'm due with baby #3 October 13th but since this will be my first time laboring and having a 100% natural delivery, i'm fully expecting to be pregnant until the end of October.

Anyone find out gender yet?

Hi! I'm due 10/3 with my 2nd child. We have a daughter who turned 2 in January. My 18 wk ultrasound is scheduled on May3rd (my birthday), can't wait to find out!!! We'd love to have a boy this time but obviously just want the baby to be healthy!! I've been getting mostly boy guesses from others. My mom, husband and I are thinking girl though. I keep changing my mind though!! ha ha... Congrats to everyone!

I hear ya! I'm paranoid too! I had m/s so bad this time (and early, it started at like 5 wks!) and finally started feeling good around 14 wks. Then I was paranoid because I felt good. ha ha... no reason, just nerves I guess. I wanted to wait to tell people and my DH spilled the beans early to friends. We told our parents immediately (5wks) and I finally just announced on FB around Easter.

Good luck at your U/S!! And hang in there! We are keeping names a secret this time because of my mom and MIL. I don't want/need their opinions!!! ha ha

I have an appointment at 16 weeks- May 11th, but I can't find out the sex until I'm 20 weeks- my doctor's rule. I think I'm ok with waiting this time around- I'm not as anxious I guess since it's my second- I don't know! Last time I had a dream beforehand that it was a girl- and it was! Still waiting for a gender-reveal dream for this one:) My mom and I were thinking it's a boy, just because I've been so much sicker this time around, but I know that can be misleading.

We have a fun idea for the gender reveal this time- maybe some of you have heard of a Pink/Blue Party...? We have the ultrasound tech write down the sex of the baby and seal it in an envelope- we don't even find out at that point! Then we take it to a baker, and have them make cupcakes with either a pink or blue filling. We then have our friends/family over for the party and all bite into the cupcakes at the same time to find out! Plus those who think it's a boy wear blue to the party, and a girl, pink. I'm excited for this lil' spin on things:) So I guess about 6 more weeks til I find out!

We're not telling anybody our names (or ideas) either. I don't want anybody to make a comment that will make me doubt the names we've chosen. The last time my SIL was pregnant, our FIL gave her a list of names he wanted them to choose from! Of course, there were several Polish male/female variations of his name on the list. I think he gave them a list because he was disappointed they didn't chose a Polish name for their first child. Uh, hello?! You had two kids, you've already had your chance to pick names!

Just checking in- how is everyone doing? I'm finally starting to feel like my pants are too tight! I couldn't button my dress pants this morning- rigged them with a ponytail holder.

I have my next appt May 2 and I am more than excited to hear the heartbeat again! We've told our family and close friends the good news and I think after the next Dr's appt we'll spread the good word to everyone. I've been a little paranoid and didn't want to tell anyone too soon.

I got myself two pairs of belly bands, one in brown and one in black which hide my unbuttoned pants pretty well, it will let me expand the use of my current wardrobe at least another month or so! I highly recommend them.

I can't believe all you ladies who aren't even in Maternity pants yet...although I think my first time around I didn't show til 16-ish weeks. But I'm almost 14 weeks and have been in Maternity clothes for like 3 weeks already- got quite the baby bump, but have only gained 5 lbs! Oh well- I'll stop being jealous of you all now;)

Still no maternity clothes here- I have to wear tall pants so I'm a little nervous about looking for maternity pants for work. I've been keeping my eyes open though. I'm hoping I start showing soon- I just look like I'm gaining all the weight I lost in the past year!

I went to the Dr. yesterday and heard a nice strong heartbeat. It's amazing how such a small thing can make your whole day brighter. My husband recorded so I watched it several times throughout the day

I have to share the news with my softball team tonight. They're going to be bummed they're losing their first basemen (well, eventually). I'm still playing for as long as I'm comfortable. Anyone else playing any sports right now?
