thank you cyndi!!!
i'm glad to hear that everyone is doing well.
i hit my ten week mark today.
i've noticed my enercy is starting to come back. still not fully there.. but atleast i can stay awake at work now. =)
my m/s is getting better. it's still here. and still not just in the morning. but it's getting better. THANK GOODNESS! can't wait till my dr's appot next wednesday... question tho. when i went four weeks ago.. they said that they would do some blood work and try to get a heart beat.. but the doctor said that it will prolly be too early. how true is that. i will be eleven weeks when i go. i hear a lot about women hearing the heartbeat at seven weeks and stuff. just was wondering.
hope everyone has a wonderful day! ↑

Hello Ladies..I just got back from my appt, just a routine phys exam. They tried to find hb with doppler and couldn't. He only tried for maybe a minute and said that not to worry that it is hard to find this early (I am 10 wks tomorrow). I wasn't too worried as we heard the hb 2 weeks ago with the wand u/s and the hr was 130 then and blob looked great! I have to go to high risk for a scan (because I am 35), should be next week. Also found out I was postive for the cystic fibrosis gene (had a couisn that had it), have to have hubby tested for the gene. I am trying not to worry too much about this until we get his testing done. My m/s is subsiding some, I am more hungry now than a couple weeks ago, still get touches of nausea here and there. Hope everyone else is doing well. Jeni--Awesone about your appt. KLC--You should be able to get the hr by the u/s, if they do a doppler, you might not get to hear it Hopefully they will do an u/s for you so you can have peace of mind! Must get bacl to work. Take Care +++Cyndi+++ ↑

Hello, ladies! Glad everyone is starting to feel better these days. I am so excited because today I wore maternity pants for the first time!!! Yaaay! Honestly, my normal pants still fit, but they've just gotten really snug, and I'm not a fan of being uncomfortable. Also, I'm almost at 12 weeks (on Saturday). Just a little bit longer and I'll be moving to the second trimester board!!! ↑

Hi ladies I posted in the other thread then noticed that a new one had been made. Wow I have some catching up to do. I have had VERY bad morning sickness so have not posted in a while but had been posting in the 'new year babies' but I will still fill everyone in here. I am 11wks today going by my lmp & am having a good day regarding morning sickness. I have a 3yr dd & a 1yr ds so this will be #3. I had very bad m/s with ds til 20wks, but things are looking up this time as I am feeling less sick & starting to feel VERY hungry, though it is mainly for fruit & salad as greasy things make me yak. Anyway hope to post more frequently now that I'm feeling better & am glad to hear that everyone is starting to feel better too. ↑

i saw my baby's heatbeat at 7 weeks. technically you can see heartbeat at 5 weeks ↑
Name: baby2jan13 | Date: Jun 20th, 2008 10:59 AM
klc03, as far as the heartbeat goes, I had my last docs appointment at 9 weeks. He tried to get a heartbeat but said it's just too early, but next appt (I'll be 14 weeks then) we will definitely get one. So I am not surprised at all...All I've gotten is seeing rhe heartbeat through ultrasound. ↑
Name: Kimmer23 | Date: Jun 20th, 2008 2:00 PM
Hey girls! I went to my u/s today, so I wanted to give you all a quick update. All is well! The baby measured exactly 10 wks., and her/his little heart was beating 179bpm. yay!! I feel way better now :) My dh is really cute at the u/s too - it's so cool! How is everyone else? By the way, my doctor said you can't hear the little heartbeat on doppler until at least 10 wks. (and not always then). So, cyndi, try not to worry. I'm sure all is well. But, I would ask for an u/s if you are worried at all. I hope everyone starts feeling better as we get closer to the end of the first trimester. ↑
Name: austynsmommy | Date: Jun 20th, 2008 2:28 PM
I will be 13 weeks when I go again. I cant wait. I hope I can hear the heart beat. I am doing oki. I just hate my husbands stupid work schedule. He works 12 hour days 5 days a week. We are planning on moving closer to family. I miss my family so much. I havent seen them in over a month. Have a great day ladies. ↑
Name: cyndilea1973 | Date: Jun 20th, 2008 4:37 PM
Kimmer--YAY on the wonderful u/s! Mcbee--SO cute about wearing the comfy maternity pants! I started wearing mine a couple weeks ago, also out of comfort. I wore my regular jeans today and MAN do I regret it LOL. I wasn't too worried about not picking up the hb with the doppler, I have known other women who had their doc try this before 10 weeks and spent like 30 minutes looking for it and no success, so I really didn't expect him to find it in under 1 minute! I can wait until my u/s July 1st to see little peanut and hear the hb, I would have liked an u/s yesterday, but can wait another week and a couple days. My hubby goes June 30 for his bloodtests for Cystic Fibrosis, so we'll find out those results mid-July. I am not going to worry until we get the results. Hope everyone else is hanging in there with the m/s..mine is getting weaker everyday! YAY! though I still get a little bit of it after I eat. Won't be long and we will be moving over to the 2nd tri boards..how exciting! Have a great weekend ladies! +++Cyndi+++ ↑

I'm so glad that everyone on this thread is supportive and NICE. Not so much on other threads. I guess it's just that January moms are the greatest! I wonder if I'm having hormone issues... hmmmm... could be, I suppose. ↑
Name: mcbee | Date: Jun 21st, 2008 11:58 AM
Seriously, make me stop. I am arguing with two women on another thread. What is my issue. I am so completely not a confrontational person. In fact, I am a really nice person who wants everybody to be happy. Is this hormone thing going to last until January?!?! Anyway, on a brighter note, I"M 12 WEEKS TODAY!!! Yay! ↑
Name: austynsmommy | Date: Jun 21st, 2008 12:20 PM
Good morning ladies. I am also very emotional lately. A friend of mine had a baby may 26 and he had to have heart surgery and when they were taking him of the machines he had a heart attack. He has been on life support for a week now and they are going to take him off it today. I just feel so bad for her. This is her first. I will stop writing now. Have a great day everyone. ↑
Name: mcbee | Date: Jun 21st, 2008 1:25 PM
austynsmommy, I am so sorry to hear that. Here I am being a big baby about some stupid argument on another thread. One of my nieces was born with heart problems and had to have open heart surgery when she was only 3 days old. It's so tough to see someone so helpless going through something so hard. Your friend and her little one are in my thoughts. Keep your chin up. ↑
Name: epigg | Date: Jun 21st, 2008 8:18 PM
Kimmer23, Yay on the great u/s. I have an u/s on Tues. I will be ten weeks then. I can't wait! I am still quite sick everyday, but hanging in there. The other night, apparently I didn't get the bathroom door latched and my poor baby girl walkd in when I was throwing up. She is still talking about it! Out of the blue she'll say, "Mommy got sick." I felt terrible. She is only two, and has never seen me sick before. Anyway, glad all is well with everyone. Austynsmommy, so sorry about your friend. When I was pregnant with my daughter, my sister's brother in-law and wife lost a baby at full term due to a blood clot that she passed to the baby. It was a terrible thing to see them go through. On a brighter note, they do have a healthy one year old little girl now! ↑

Okay, this is going to make me sound like a total dork. My sister-in-law came over tonight with her hubby and my nephew (just turned 1 in March). She layed him down and asked me if I, by chance had any bottles yet. Well, I do (we've started buying things - yay!), so I gave her one, and she put some milk in it to try and get my nephew to sleep. Well, they left a little while ago, and she left the bottle on the counter, and it still has a little milk in it. Well, I got totally emotional! I got so excited b/c that's the kind of thing I'll be getting to see around here pretty soon. There was one of my bottles with milk in it. It kind of made this all finally seem real to me. We've been down such a long road trying to have a baby, and it looks like we're finally going to have one. And now, I have bottles sitting around my house! I know, I'm a total dork! Sorry to ramble! ↑

Hey girls! Thanks for the well wishes on my u/s...I was super excited! I think I'm just the type of person that expects the worst, so when everything was perfect, I was kinda shocked! :) mcbee - I think that's adorable, not dorky. I can't wanit to see that kind of stuff around our place too. And, I understand with the whole - you try so hard to have this happen, so you want it soooo much now. How are people feeling - ausynsmommy? E586? epigg? cyndi - good luck with your tests and your next appt. - I hope you hear that beautiful little hb! SO, I have a question - anyone buying/renting a doppler? I wanted to, but my dh thinks it's a waste since we'll be able to hear the baby's hb at every appt. And, eventually I'll be able to feel the baby kick...I don't know. ↑
Name: mcbee | Date: Jun 23rd, 2008 11:37 AM
Kimmer, I've thought about renting a doppler. Really it's because so many people are asking to go to doctor's appt.s with me. Obviously, I can't take everybody every time, but if I have a doppler, then they all get a little piece of the appt. Also, there's one at Target here that I thought about getting, but I doubt it's as good as the one you can rent because it's really not very expensive (I always feel like you get what you pay for). ↑

I am feeling great. No morning sickness. I am 11 weeks and 6 days. ↑

Hi ladies. I had my NT ultrasound. All is good with bubs. No sign of Down Syndrome and its growing normal and healthy with a heart rate of 171bpm. Is that good? I am currently 12 weeks. Maybe. I am either 11w5d or 12w2d. Don't know until I see doc and ask her cos I forgot. Lol. Hope everyone is going well :D Cos I know I can't stop eating. Lol. ↑
Name: E586467 | Date: Jun 24th, 2008 7:04 AM
Hi ladies how are you? Well my morning sickness has mostly gone away - thank god - & I am even starting to eat strange things. Hubby worked late last night (we own our own business, so unfortunately this is common) & when he got home he couldn't help but laugh, cause here I was eating half an avocado & a bowl of chocolate ice-cream & all he could say was 'yep your pregnant' then kept laughing. I was surprised too at what I was eating when he brought it too my attention, but I didn't care as I'm glad to be having cravings instead of vomiting. I'll be 12wks on Thursday but will find out for sure how far along I am next Thursday when I have my U/S. Fingers crossed everything is fine. dd keeps saying it's twins, so I guess we'll soon find out. ↑
Name: MrsT | Date: Jun 24th, 2008 8:00 AM
Hi everyone - Hope you don't mind if I jump in! I'm 42 and 10 wks pregnant with my first baby. Husband and I are still in shock! Have only told the two Grandmothers-to-be so far and want to keep things quiet till I've had a few tests done. So far, I've been really lucky - sore boobs and tired but nothing else. In fact, at times it doesn't feel like I'm pregnant and if I hadn't had the scan and seen the baby 2 weeks ago, I could almost believe I'm imagining everything! I hope to keep it my little secret for another month or so so this is just between us! ↑
Name: mcbee | Date: Jun 24th, 2008 10:31 AM
E586467, That is so funny! Avocado and chocolate ice cream! My hubby went to the store to get me some caffeine free pop, waffles and dill pickle chips (have to be the chips because I like to suck on them - whatever). He saw a guy that he works with at the store, and the guy looked at what he was buying and asked, "Got a pregnant wife at home?" I thought that was so funny! 1sttimemum - that's great that your tests came back normal. I always love it when I get good news. It's such a relief. I hope you ladies have a wonderful day! ↑

hello all! Just wanted to check in... things still doing ok. still having some symptoms but the nausia is not as bad. I hit 8 weeks yesterday :) I don't go to the doc again for 2 1/2 weeks. I hate this waiting period. I've been having a lot of back soreness and that period type "yuck" feeling... anyone else? Pants are getting a little snug but not as fast as I was expecting. Praying our little miracle holds on tight! 4 more weeks til safety zone!! Hope everyone else is doing good. - Kelly ↑
Name: epigg | Date: Jun 25th, 2008 12:38 PM
YAY! I had my u/s yesterday. The baby was moving all over and measured 10w4d, whihc is right on. Everything looked great. I go back on July 23. No u/s then, he will just listen to the heartbeat. What a relief. The all day naseau is not letting up, unfortunately. But, I'll take it as long as this baby is healthy! I throw up anything I eat at supper time, so I tend to wake up in the middle of the night for cereal, or whatever else I can get my hands on quickly. I have had a real craving for icecream sandwiches. Austynsmommy, I am so jealous, but happy for you too. I can't wait to feel "good" again! ↑

E586... twins! ohmigod... i will be JEALOUS if you do. i've been praying for multiples!!!
i go today for my bloodwork and (fingers crossed) to hear the heartbeat... i'm one day shy of eleven weeks... and im really thin.. so everyone thinks that i'll be able to hear it. im hoping i hear atleast two or three little heartbeats!!! haha.

i hate that!!!!! i wish i could get one every visit. =)
