going- Don't feel bad. I am also pregnant and not married. I'm 22 and pregnant with #3. They all have the same father so it's not as bad as it sounds, lol. Me and my b/f have been together since high school (over 6 years now), we just never got married. We've been together over 6 years and lived together for 5. We have a 5 year old and a 3 year old already. We own a house together. So we live like a married couple, just don't have a marraige certificate. ↑
callme- Thanks for the reassurance! People do it all the time now but for some reason there is still sort of a stigma to the whole thing. It doesn't bother us though and I guess that is all that matters. My parents however are now harping for us to get married but I just feel no need to rush just because of baby! ↑
Hey guys how is everyone? I had my ultrasound today I think I am 5 weeks 6 days and we saw a flicker of a heart beat/ fetal pole a bit small to measure and the gestational sac has nearly tripled in size from .6mm to 1.72cm so all is good here I go back in 2 weeks at 8 weeks July 24th. We are still not sure on the exact dat of how far along think we may be off by 1-2 days good luck! ↑
Hi ladies and big congrats to everyone! According to my LMP I am due around March 11 but haven't gotten a definite date yet. Went in for my bw today and my betas were 436...progesterone 32.5 and lining was 15.8. I guess that is all good since he said no extra progesterone for me...just baby aspirin. KATIE - I think we are almost due at the same time. My dh's birthday is the 6th so it shall be interesting....I am doing my best to keep it from Dh...he said he wants me to leave the test on the sink when I take it and that is how he wants to find out. He doesn't want to know too early b/c we've had our hopes up and then dashed twice before...so WHEN I make it to 8 weeks I'm going to take him to dinner and give him a "love you" card w/ the u/s pic in it. That is three weeks away! Hopefully I'll be busy enough entertaining family to keep it a secret for that long...sure is hard though...Anyway, Congrats to everyone and I hope to get to know everyone over the next 9 months! ↑
Amanda, we have the same due date!!! Schar, glad that you had a good appt. Do you know what the baby's heart rate was? My first appt is next friday. I can't wait. I have been feeling very nauseous and very tired. ↑
Hi Girls,
I'm due March 8thish. It's wonderful to have all of you to chat to. I also had a mc in Feb. My #s are rising appropriately & my first u/s is on the 21st. I have a good feeling about this pregnancy.
Actually, the first thing I noticed both times I was pregnant were the veins in my boobs. The 1st time, I had no idea what that meant & this time I knew. My husband came in to the bedroom & asked why i was staring at my boobs in the mirror? I sooooo badly, wanted to explain, but waiting until I got a bfp.
I am trying not to tell friends & fam yet. However, I'm going home in a few weeks & don't know if I'll be able to keep it from my mom.
very excited!!
Wishing you all a happy, healthy pregnancy. ↑
no I didn't get to find out what the heart rate was I think cause the ultrasound machine was too old too tell this early I was 5wk 6 days wee could see the heart beat just not sure how fast it was they couldn't measure but the babys sac went from .6cm to 1.72cm in 6 days so hes growing away! ↑
Morning girls...today I go back for my second beta and progesterone draw. Does anyone wake up in the middle of the night? I keep waking up at the exact same time...and not to go to the bathroom either...just keep waking up. anyway, hope everyone has a great FRIDAY!!! ↑
thanks schar - it's not looking promising for me...my hcg only rose 7 in 48 hours - drs didn't test progesterone. i'm not as thirsty and my stomach doesn't look as bloated - no spotting or cramping. i go in monday for more bw and an u/s...i don't they see anything since i will only be
5w 5d - glad to hear things are progressing nicely for you. ↑
AMANDA, I'm sorry your numbers didn't rise appropriately. You are having them checked again on Monday so wait for those results. Don't give up hope. Your not spotting or cramping are you? Hang in there! Are you still feeling symptoms? ↑
thanks Kaite - I'm not spotting or cramping but it might take my body a while to realize - that is what happened w/ the first m/c. My bbs aren't as sore this morning....i just feel numb all over. I'm sick of trying and trying and watching everyone get bfps and go on to have healthy pregnancies. I know I am meant t be a mom and I do my best to stay positive...but like I've said before...it's hard to see the bright side when you've only had neg experiences. DH is out of town which makes it harder to handle too....I have no expectations for Monday - to be quite honest I'm numb all over. How are you feeling? Have you told your kids yet? I bet they will be/are thrilled....when do you go back to the doctor? I do wish everyone the best - sorry to be a debbie downer. ↑
sorry pba74 I have had 2 m/c this year this is my third pregnancy and I understand what you are going through but if your hcg doesn't at least get close to doubling then it won't continue to rise it can take a week to 10 days foryour body too pick this up you do ovulate though about 2-3 weeks after a miscarriage again I aams sorry I prayed alot to get where I am now and I am still worried I hope things get better for you ↑
I think i am due around March 17th according to my LMP but i haven't even gotten a chance to set up an appointment yet, i am very nervous though i had a miscarriage in November and it was so hard. I just pray that everything is okay this time. But glad to have other ladies due around the same time. And any advice or anything would be great. I don't really have any girl friends to talk to about all this, I am a little a head of the curve with my friends i am 19 and have been married for a year and a half and none of my friends are even in relationships let alone pregnant. ↑
I have an US August 6th.I have been sick since 2 days before I expected my period.I have also been peeing a lot,but my boobs really aren't too sore yet.My daughter was due March 30th and she got here April 11th after I was induced,so I kind of doubt this little one will make an appearence on time. ↑

hi everyone - congrats to you all! my LMP was 6/11 i think i am due around march 22nd.
i had my hormone levels tested last week and all looked good, but i had a m/c in May and am freaking out at every turn - mostly because my symptoms are varying from day to day.
i don't have any nausea yet, but have been very tired. my bbs are def. bigger and more sensitive, but i am scared because they aren't as sore as they were yesterday.
is anyone else dealing with total symptom paranoia? ↑
I am due March 7. This is my third baby. I am very excited. I am definately bloated and uncomfortable. I have been in to have my blood drawn but my 1st Dr. appt isn't until 8/18. ↑
hi everyone... well i just found out after missing my period for 2 weeks that i was pregnant.. im about 5 weeks or so by people on here calculations... symptoms... let me see well sore boobs, not a good sleeping habit at all its hard for me to fall asleep, not eating much, really really moody.. and the mst of all my jeans part where you button doesnt want to fit around my stomach... but other than that im scared since this is my first baby ↑
Hey all, Pba how are u? Welcome to all the new comers!! I am now about 7 weeks horrible!!!! nausea my nose just drains in the back of my throat and all I can take is benadryl if u have any other ideas let me know cause I can't eat I know about the crackers etc anything new? ↑
I'm due Dec 11th, but just wanted to stop in and say hi to Schar. Congrats girl! I know how long you've wanted this and how hard you've tried.... I'm so, so happy for you! ↑
hi ladies - i am scared out of my mind because i'm having some cramps and very light brown cm.
i had my hcg tested yesterday - it went from 250 to 8000 in a week, which is encouraging, but then the cramping started last night and i noticed the cm this morning. has this happened to anyone else? ↑
Hello Ladies!
Officially found out I'm pregnant this week and completely thrilled. My DD is 14 months, needless to say we're so excited and scared. I think I'm more anxious for my first (with this preg) OBGYN appt next week.
Good luck! ↑
Hi all - I got my BFP on july 4th, making me due March 5th - the day before my next birthday!! Quite a present indeed! I actually work as an RN in ER and OB - so I thought I'd pass on some of the suggestions the docs I work with give to their pregnant patients. For nausea - preggo pops help some, can also take a unisom & Vit B6(50 mg) daily to help with the nausea. Also small meals every 2-3 hours ( as horrible as it sounds when nauseous, it really does help) Only pain reliever they reccomend is Tylenol - Ibuprofen & naproxen can decrease bone growth in the fetus. For the sore bb's - the only help is to wear a very supportive bra all the time especially for those of us with larger sizes - the decreased movement helps from making them more sore as they grow. Anyone have any other questions I can try to help with? Congrats to all!!! ↑
Misspie- I would tell you not to worry so much right away. I started to have light brown spotting last Friday night and continued on and off till about Monday morning. I talked to my Dr. and he said it is perfectly normal and as long as it doesn't persist to bright red blood or serious cramping (like doubled over in pain) then you should be fine! I hope all is well with you and will be keeping you in myprayers! ↑
I'm due March 19th. I havent made my dr. appt yet. Hey does anyone know about medicaid here? I applied for it but never got a list of clinics to go to. I'm in a different county then ↑
