I had my dating scan yeterday morning. Everything looks fine, not that I could really work out what she was looking at. I seem to be getting every symptom like clockwork. I subrcribe to those whattoexpect.com emails and it seems like whatever is in the email that day is spot-on for me, the nipples, the boobs, the hunger, the sickness, the sense of smell etc etc. To be honest even though some of those things aren't that pleasant, there's definately some comfort in knowing you are "normal".0

I'm 11 weeks today. I still have a "toddler palate". I just want breads and dairy. Coffee, super sweet foods, vegetables, and fruit make me sick. I told my husband it feels like the food has "too much flavor." I've been drinking low sodium V8 and eating simple salads to at least get some nutrition. My husband made broccoli with dinner (one of my favorite veggies) and I nearly passed out it smelled so gross. Pregnancy is so weird.0

Hello! Got my BFP this morning at only 3 weeks 5 days. Had a D&C in May for a missed miscarriage. I had stillborn mono mono identical twin girls last September. We also have a brilliant 3 year old boy. He's amazing and the love of my life! I am really looking forward to a normal healthy textbook pregnancy like I had with my son. I'm hoping to distract myself with good health and fitness. Congrats to all you ladies! I wish you a happy & healthy 9 months!0

Today is my last day in Week 12. Tomorrow I will be 13 weeks pregnant! YAY!!! Good bye first trimester!
Wishing all of you first trimesters the best of luck and health! - I'm glad this trimester is over - let the second trimester begin!
Less nausea, more baby bump and more excitement and less anxiety over the possibilities of miscarriage!
Good luck everyone and congrats!0 -
10 weeks tomorrow...I feel like I have been craving different things every week. Last week I wanted dairy - cream cheese, sour cream, ice cream. This week its tomatoes - fresh ones, soup, and watermelon etc. I used to eat a salad every day with dinner - made them for the whole family every day - I can't make them or choke them down for the past few weeks. It totally grosses me out - ick! I can't even seem to eat cooked vegetables. The other day, I did eat some salad at my MIL's house - only because we haven't told her yet and I am such a salad person usually...I had to put 3X as much dressing on it to mask the flavor. It is the lettuce that really puts me over the edge. I am usually a coffee person too - haven't been able to drink it for 4 weeks now...I did manage a few sips of hubby's over the weekend, and had some this morning. I have been getting such horrible headaches...I think caffeine withdrawal.0

Sorry, yes that's a Big Fat Positive! I'll take the congratulations! Thank you!0 -
Big Fat Positive on a pregnancy test. I guess I've been trying to have my second child for so long now that I'm abusing the lingo. I've been on lots of TTC (Trying to Conceive) boards for a long time and have been forced to learn the acronyms which I used to despise and am now using them. I've been using boards mostly on Baby Center and that's how they all talk. ;b 0

Had a great first prenatal exam today. 11 weeks along, blood pressure is great and all my initial tests are good. Went for blood work and will know more at my next appointment. Also into maternity pants as of today, as nothing I own fits, other than sweat pants and they are snug. Doctor was surprised to find the heartbeat as soon as she touched my stomach, as she said they can be a bit elusive and hide for a few more weeks yet. Wasn't able to get a measurement on if I am measuring big or not, as my uterus tips backwards and they couldn't find the top today. So no answer on the twin question yet. However, my ultrasound is tomorrow, so will know one way or the other then! Can't wait! Hope everyone is doing well and feeling better as the end of the first trimester nears.0

Lol, no worries. I am the opposite, accidental first pregnancy so I know nothing!! Ask me about weight lifting and I am your girl though!0 -
So all of a sudden I have a little tummy. One of the things I have found so weird and interesting with this pregnancy thing is how things just seem to suddenly...pop... and there they are. My nipples were normal one day and huge the next, the same with my boobs. Now the belly is there and I swear it wasn't there 2 days ago....0

Hi everyone!! I'm new here, first time I've posted on MFP! We found out on Sunday that we are expecting baby #3 (4 weeks pregnant), we are excited and scared at the same time. We already have 2 boys that are 6 and 2, so adding a 3rd child will be interesting! With my last 2 pregnancies I didn't watch what I ate at all, gained 50 lbs the first time and about 20 lbs the second. This pregnancy I'm determined to be healthy, walk every day, and not gain an enormous amount of weight. I had preeclampsia with my last 2 pregnancies so I'm hopeful that if I eat better and don't gain too much my blood pressure will stay down, or at least be a little better. With both my boys I was completely fine until I was close to the end and then had to be induced @ 37 weeks. I think I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I actually went into labor naturally!
I made a commitment to myself that I'd walk at least 30 minutes everyday and so far I've done that since we took our test. The only issues I've had so far is that I'm completely exhausted!! It seems that no matter how early I go to bed I still feel like I need more sleep. Is anyone else in their 1st trimester having this problem? When will it let up? Other than that I get little waves of nausea, but no actual vomiting. The cramps are kind of a pain to deal with so I'm hoping those go away in the next couple weeks.
I've found that I'm more paranoid this time around compared to my other 2 pregnancies. I'm super anxious to go to my 1st doc appointment, which isn't until the end of August. I want it to get here so that I can have the ultrasound and see that everything is ok!
Love reading everyone's posts and wish everyone luck in their pregnancies! Can't wait to read more!!0 -
Ultrasound was great today......and my husband is thrilled that there was only one baby, not two! I am a little disappointed. However, baby is 12 weeks, so my due date has been bumped up to February 14, 2013. HR was good, baby was moving up a storm during the exam and development all looked normal. :-)0

WOOT! Congrats!0 -
Well, I'm now 13 weeks and 2 days, so I guess that means I need to move on to the second trimester board. Thanks all and I'll see you over there!0

Had an ultrasound this morning to confirm my due date since my cycle is not the typical 28 day one, and we are where we thought we were at - 10 weeks, so due date is still Feb 28, 2013. Hubby and I heard a nice strong heart beat and saw it moving around. It did try to hide its heart beat, but the tech was super patient. It definitely feels more real now.0

Hello all,
Happy to find this group. I am 4wks and 3 days. This is my 5th pregnancy, no children. I seem concieve naturally then miscarry. Its been a long road. I'm hoping this is my healthy baby! I'm due April 10th. So far I've only had heart burn and bloating. I'm on progesterone. I had my second beta HCG yesterday, so hopefully I'll find out my numbers today. I'm also 40 years old, so my reproductive years are seriously dwindling!
Glad to be here for the support.0 -
Wow, I leave to go camping for a week and come back to realize there are lots of new pregnancies. Congrats to all! I will be 14 weeks in 3 days, so I will see you all in the 2nd trimester board! See you soon, good luck to all!0

Fell off the wagon and started eating trash. absolute trash. not neccesarily because of the pregnancy, but i just used it as an excuse to eat more food!!!!!
Anyway hopefully i am back on track today. Currently 6 weeks and 2 days0 -
Hi ladies!
Found out that I'm pregnant with Baby #2 last week. I have one son who will be 3 in September. I spent nearly 2 years losing the ridiculous amount of baby weight that I put on (80lbs!) and I want to avoid that issue this time around. I'm joining this group to hopefully stay on track better during this pregnancy than during my first. I never have a problem with exercising, I have issues with eating too much. Last time I threw caution to the wind to just have one point in my life where I wasn't dieting and it was a disaster.
Now that I know how bad it can get, I won't let that happen again! It is still very early in my pregnancy (5w 4d) but my attitude about food changed as soon as I got that +. Looking forward to having a truly healthy pregnancy this time around!0 -

Welcome! I have a 3 year old too and gained too much weight. I kept some of it on with the excuse of trying to conceive #2 (2 losses since then). It was hard to get motivated to lose weight when I felt I was going to get pregnant and fat again. This time I refuse to gain extra weight! I lost 8 pounds before getting pregnant and am going to stick to the maintenance plan for the 1st trimester. I'll rethink my diet if my sweet baby makes it to 2nd trimester. I'm trying no to gain any extra weight this trimester and am 4 weeks 5 days along. Friend me if you want some support!0 -
That's exactly what I'm doing. Eating my maintenance calorie level and eating back any exercise calories because I exercise daily. Last time I gained about 10lbs in the first trimester even though I exercises! No bueno.0
-
I excercised lot with my first pregnancy but ate a lot as well. I was strong enough for a natural birth but super fat. How do you all figure out your maintenance calories. MFP put me at 2000 cals for maintenance but it seems high.0

Emotional day for me today. I hit 10 weeks today, and my weekly photo (done every Friday since week 7) confirms that I have just the slightest of bumps, so YAY! I feel like I'm actually pregnant, and not just super tired with really sore boobs! This afternoon, when I went to the bathroom, I wiped just the tiniest bit of pink tinge. I am so freaked out! I lost a baby 10 1/2 years ago at 13 weeks, and am just so worried that it's going to happen again. I've been to the bathroom three times since then (darn baby makes me pee all.the.time), and one of those times I wiped pink tinge again, the other two times were clear. DH and I were intimate last night, so I'm hoping that's all it is. I'd totally go to the doc this afternoon, but we live in a small town and we don't have an ultrasound tech on staff - one is contracted out by appointment only.
Anyway, if anyone prays, I'd love some prayer! My mind is playing tricks on me, making me think I feel cramps, etc. Thanks, gals!0 -

I will pray for you and baby! In May I was 11 weeks along when I found my little baby had passed a few weeks prior. Can you call you doctor for advice? Please take it easy! Keep your feet up and drink lots of water. Keep us posted.0
