@grecianern- That’s fantastic! Possibly two sets of twins between you and tintri. I can’t wait for [name]Jan[/name]-Feb when we all start announcing our babies births, especially what the twins get named! [name]Do[/name] you have any ideas yet? Take good care of yourself.
@bonniepetro- I’m nervous too, is this your first baby? Having a baby near your birthday is fun, my son was born two days after my birthday. I think the chocolate cake my brothers got me the day after my birthday is what made me go into labor lol.
I’m curious, how is everyone doing with their symptoms? I’ve not really had any and I think I’m almost 11 weeks along. Is that sometimes normal or a sign of problems? I have to wait until [name]Wednesday[/name] for my first Dr. appointment and I’m so nervous since there is no way for me to know if everything is OK. I hope they send me for an ultrasound immediately after my appointment. I think this is by far the worst part of pregnancy even without morning sickness or other symptoms, if could just feel baby I’d be reassured but I don’t even really feel pregnant except for maybe getting a bit more exhausted than I used to when I have to wrangle my wild two year old.
Wow I’m so excited about the possibility of twins for tintri and grecianern! It sounds pretty exciting for both of you and I’m glad tests have been right on track too
Thanks for the reassurance everyone, with the heart beat. You know how it is, you live for the doctors visits so you can check that everything is okay! Can’t wait for my 10 week ultrasound next week.
Lovewn - my only symptoms (I will be 10 weeks tomorrow) have been exhaustion and a little extra heartburn. Pretty much the same as last time with my now 3 year old. It is great not having morning sickness but nerve wracking when you don’t feel pregnant, I totally know what you mean!
I’m new here but thought I’d jump right in. I just found out I’m expecting again! Which is a huge surprise we always said we didn’t want more then an 8 year gap, but we are excited. My doctor appointment is next [name]Tuesday[/name]. I’m not sure of the due date yet I haven’t had a real period since my youngest was born (he just turned 1) which I contributed to breastfeeding. [name]Glad[/name] to have found this forum, I love baby names!
Congratulations to Heartsandstars, [name]Amanda[/name], Alexandriam, and everyone else expecting this winter.
And double congratulations to Grecianern on the TWINS! [name]How[/name] excellent. Tintri, maybe you too?! Ooh that would be fun.
Congratulations to you all ladies!! And two sets of twins - how lucky are we!
I’m so happy this thread has been started too. I’m due Feb 5th next year. Today I’m 6 wks 5 days. I haven’t had any symptoms at all so I can’t wait fir my ultrasound on Thursday to see if the babys ok in there.
Best wishes for all the girls TTC our there. Hopefully you get your BFP soon. For those that don’t know my story hubby and I were TTC for 3 years. I have PCOS and blocked tubes so this is our IVF baby!!! Soooo excited!!
Congrats milenaviloet! It is so exciting to hear about families fighting and overcoming infertility issues.
As far as symptoms, I’m only 4 weeks along right now so I haven’t noticed many. I do get occasional cramps. I especially notice them after I’ve been sitting or laying for a long time and then get up. Also, been running to the bathroom several times a night ALREADY! Can’t imagine what it’s going to be like in a few months!
[name]Hi[/name] all, I am expecting my first on 20 Feb which for me is a summer baby as I am in [name]New[/name] Zealand. Absolutely love this website, have lots of names already, though I know my DH will be vetoing most of them! Fun to dream though, and I have got 8 months to work on him haha.
First of all; a BIG congrats to all of you! Lovewn, Hearts&Stars, [name]Amanda[/name], [name]Whit[/name], [name]Gracie[/name] (twins!!!), [name]Bonnie[/name], [name]Alexandria[/name], Mouseynz and [name]Tina[/name], yay for babies! Tintri and [name]Milena[/name]; I think I’ve already congratulated you, but if not, another yay for you! [name]Sarah[/name]; thanks for starting the thread, and lots and lots of wishes in the babywell for you!
Tintri, how sweet would twins be? I’ve never wanted them myself, but since you’ve been trying so long, I think it would be wonderful. Besides, you could use two of your fabulous names instead of just one!
I am due I don’t know when as this was an accident, but I’ll find out in two weeks… My daughter is (almost) three months so this is crazy. I think I might be between 5 and 7 weeks along, which would put my due date in early to mid February. My symptoms this far are fatigue, nausea, and an aversion to cooked food (I’ve mainly been eating fruit, vegetables and biscuits/crackers for the past few days). I’m starting to get excited, although I still feel overwhelmed.
Oh, dear, you are actually pregnant? My warmest congratulations to you, Otter(can I also call you Otter if you call me Vics?) and all the other ladies expecting! Yay for new babies! I can say for sure you will all have great, enjoyable pregnancy, labor and be fantastic mothers. My very best wishes! I know you will do your best:)))) ([name]Just[/name] saw you, [name]Ottilie[/name],posting here and wanted to add my two cents. [name]Hope[/name] I will join the pregnancy board in 1,5-2 year or so).
I’m so (hesitantly) excited to be joining in on this thread! My husband and I have been trying for 10 months. I have endometriosis, and have been on Clomid for the past 3 cycles. My endometriosis has been getting worse and worse and we were talking about the probability of having another surgery. Then Friday (my birthday) I got a BFP! It appeared within about 2 seconds and both lines were bright pink, no doubt! I don’t go to the doctor until [name]July[/name] 12th, which seems like an eternity! Congrats to everyone here!

This is my first baby. I have two step chilren, so I’m used to multi tasking. I’m very nervous about the pregnancy. I had cervical cancer within the last year and this was not a planned pregnancy. My doctor assures me that I’m healthy and it will all be fine so I’m trying not to panic.
As far as symptoms, my chest is swollen and incredibly sore, my back aches, and it feels like something in clawing at my uterus. I have been getting migraines too, and of course I have to pee constantly. I am thankful however that I have yet to have any morning sickness. I definitely have a heightened sense of smell and have started developing some food aversions, but no sickness yet! Woo hoo!
Congratulations to tvland, ottilie, sunshinetina, mouseynz, alexandriam, milenaviolet and anyone else I missed! I am glad we have such a good thread going already.
Today I had my 10 week ultrasound (you are supposed to go for the first time between 8 and 10 weeks but I had work commitments weeks 8 and 9 unfortunately so I had to wait to 10 weeks). It went really well - baby was moving all over the place and everything looked great! They were using a brand new super fancy machine they had just gotten that morning, so we got a really clear picture. I wasn’t super worried since I had two unexpected early ultrasounds that showed the heart beat, but I was glad to see everything was right on track. I am due [name]Jan[/name]. 11 and he said he wouldn’t change that even if I measured a little behind or a little ahead. Next up I have an ultrasound with a radiologist at week 12 to check for nuchal translucency (you can opt out for that screening test if you want). Soon, I will try to get my husband to talk names, though he isn’t the most interested in the process (but very opinionated about the end result). I look forward to more good news from everyone!
Oh, I’m so glad that so many more people are joining this thread. Welcome tvland, ottilie, and the others who just joined.
bonniepetro: Wow, I would be nervous too, but that’s great that your doctor says all is well now. Hopefully the symptoms will subside in a few weeks as you make it into the second trimester.
heartsandstars: Yay! Healthy baby. I’m glad your doctor was wrong about the heartbeat being concerning. It’s strange how different doctors say different things. My doctor could not even find my first child’s heartbeat with a Doppler at 8 weeks and was not at all concerned, just sent me to the ultrasound; a few years before when my mom was pregnant with my much younger brother her doctor told her the pregnancy was definitely not viable when they couldn’t find the heartbeat at 7 weeks with the Doppler, then the ultrasound showed everything was okay. Doctors really shouldn’t say such concerning things when there is no conclusive evidence that something is wrong.
I am so nervous, tomorrow is finally my first doctors appointment. Hopefully I’ll be reassured by a wiggly baby with a strong heartbeat and can finally know my real due date. No reason to think I won’t I guess, except that I don’t even feel pregnant, but my husband says I have more symptoms than I think and that even if I hadn’t told him yet, he would have guessed a while ago.
My doctors don’t even do dopplers before 11 weeks. They automatically do an ultrasound, and most of the time, its an internal ultrasound. It’s too hard otherwise.
But, I actually bought a prenatal doppler for home. I am so nervous about these babies, that I just wanted the comfort to hear them at home. It should arrive in the mail today or tomorrow… but I realized last night that I’m only 9 weeks - we may not even be able to hear the babies for a few more weeks. duh.
This has been the longest wait ever to get to the next appt. I am so worried all the time, and so eager for these babies - I just want to make sure that they are there and everything is ok.
I’ve been doing a lot of reading… ridiculous amounts. It sounds like I’ll be lucky to hit 37 weeks, so hopefully these kids grow healthy and become the tax breaks that their parents need!
Well, I’m back. I hung out on the TTC forum for a while, but got way too busy with work to keep up. Now I’m back to part-time so I hope to be around a bit more.
After a miscarriage in February, I’m now 9 weeks (9+2) pregnant. This pregnancy started out the same as my first with lots of spotting. My doctor wanted to see me as soon as I got back from vacation (before would have been to early to see much) and I was relieved to see a heartbeat, even if it was a bit fast (180ish). Measured exactly on schedule (6+3) too. Two days later I started bleeding like I had started my period and I was convinced I was miscarrying again. It was a [name]Sunday[/name], so my doctor saw me on [name]Monday[/name] and to my surprise, the baby was there with a healthy heartbeat and everything! She did, however, find a fundal subchorionic hemorrhage that had caused the bleeding and was threatening the pregnancy.
Now, two and a half weeks later, things seem to be going ok. I had an appointment on [name]Monday[/name] and because I hadn’t had any more bleeding, she didn’t think an ultrasound was necessary. She did see a blood vessel on my cervix that is probably responsible for the spotting (not the bleeding) and will keep an eye on it.
So, I’m starting to relax…a little. The morning sickness (read: morning-noon-and-night sickness) is wearing on me and making it very challenging to stay hydrated, but I’m thankful that’s it’s there to reassure me.
So that’s me. Due [name]January[/name] 21…and ready for the first trimester to be behind me!
