Pregnancy Info HOME

Hey Ladies! I am happy to report that my HCG levels are doubling every day and a half, so I am not as concerned about the slight spotting...I go back to the doctor for another ultrasound on Monday, but the last one this past Monday looked good also! I just can't seem to convince myself to stop worrying LOL! As far as symptoms go I am exhausted all day, have super sore bbs and am SO bloated!!! I am only 5 weeks 2 days and my clothes are seriously getting tight which has me paranoid! I HATE gaining weight, but it's for a good cause :) I really feel like I am having a girl, and if I do I like the name Mackenzie... :)

I love hearing these name suggestions. I was sort of hoping for a girl because my husband has all nephews but I think we're going to have a boy. When we were testing names, the name Henry really stuck out to me and I felt that it was truly our baby's name. We'll see!

I had my first u/s yesterday - that was quite an experience! My husband was funny to watch - he didn't know that he would witness an entire gyno exam! I'm 7w6d along now and I'm due Dec. 19. It was so strange to see someone else's heart beating in my own body. It seems much more real now that I have seen an actual little body. I've been walking around today smiling and snickering to myself when I think about the fact that I am growing a baby!

I still feel super tired and icky all day long, but no vomiting. I'll make it! I'm telling my family tonight and I'm really excited! How did you guys break the news?

Yay jen!! i cant wait to hear the good news about your ultrasound on monday!

arc, thats so awesome! is this your first baby?

10 weeks today!!! im feeling so tummy sick and the peeing is driving me crazy! i get up 5 or more time in the night to pee, im loosing so much sleep and cant wait for the 2nd trimester to start. otherwise, im feeling so good!!

its so nice to see so many people here! its to bad that posting pictures isnt possible. id love to see how everyone is growing week by week.

Hi ladies. Congratulations to all of us on the 1st trimester. Good luck for the rest of us that I know will be joining us soon.

I'm 8 weeks & like 10 days pregnant now. I could be a little off, cause I'm not keeping track. I had my first ultra sound 05/05/09. I'm only having one baby. The baby is growing fine. I saw head & body, and movement & the heart beat nice & strong. I'm a faithful reader, cause I get the notice in my e-mail account on what's going on with the ladies ect, but I just have no time to jump in & reply.

So far just getting morning sickness off/on. This pregnancy is very different from my other 2. I have 2 living children & both girls. One is 12 years old & the baby is 11 months. This is my final/last pregnancy.

Happy Mothers day! Hope all of you and your beans have a great day!

so, I found out today that my sons best friend has fifths disease... which is not good when you are pregnant and exposed to it. i am thinking that i am fine, but i will be calling my doctor first thing in the morning to see if I can be tested....anyone have any experience with this?? I am not freaking out, but I am on the verge.

hey tibbi5, man, can a pregnant woman catch a break?!?! glad to hear that you arent worried out of your mind though. i did a google search and it sound like even if you did catch it, your chances of having a serious problem are VERY low (like 5%). im keeping my fingers crossed for you but i really dont think they need to be! hang in there, we are all going to get to our due dates!!

Hi ladies. I hope everyone had a great mother's day. Mine was fun. Very relaxing. I go to the doctor on monday for a visit with the nurse and an ultrasound. I can't wait. I hope everything is ok with then baby. I hardley have any morning sickness. With my last one I had it really bad. Well have a great day everyone.

Hey ladies! I had my 3rd ultrasound yesterday and everything looked great! We were able to see the sac, yolk and a little fetal pole! It was adorable :) The doctor did say that based on the measurements I am 5w2d where I thought I was 6 weeks, but since I o'd late we really weren't sure until we saw the ultrasound. I can't wait to go back in 2 weeks to hear the heartbeat!

thanks chelsea, i talked to my doctor today, they didn't seem too alarmed so it is just "it is what it is". i have a drs appt monday, so i am going to ask for another u/s , just for peace of mind. anyway, happy pregnancies everyone!!

i got to hear the beans heartbeat today!!! it was so wonderful and so relieving. it was at an appointment with my specialist who is the doctor that found and treated my luteal phase defect (which saved my babys life after 7 miscarriages!!). he said that all looks wonderful! im going to have my first prenatal appt. next week and hope ill get to hear that heart again. hope all of you are great!

Hi Ladies,
I haven't been on in awhile but just read all of your posts to catch up. I'm glad everyone is doing well. Chelsea, that is awesome. I got to hear the hb at my last da also and its so reassuring isn't it? I really believe that you are past the danger zone and I am so happy for you.
Tibbi5, wow, I've got my fingers crossed for you but if the docs think you're ok then they are probably right. But talk about nerve wracking.
Austynsmommy please let us know how the da goes.
I've got another u/s on May 29th, my dh's birthday. We can't wait to see how much our baby has grown. I'll try my best to keep checking in regularly. Look forward to reading more good news!!!

Hi ladies. My appointment went well. I'm due December 23rd. I also had an ultrasound which was nice. Baby's heart rate is 179. I can't wait to find out what were all having. Does anyone have myspace or facebook? If you want to add me you can. It is kinda of nice to put a picture with a face. My email is amandashields120 at yahoo dot com.

DECEMBER BABY! :) I should be ready to pop by Christmas!

i had my docters appt. monday, got to hear the heartbeat, i cried!! I swear at this point in a pregnancy you just hold your breath until the next appt. I had my bloodwork today and everything went well, so i guess we are starting off healthy, that is all i can ask for. good luck everyone and happy growing!!!!!

hi everyone! so whats new with you and your beans? i had my first prenatal appt. yesterday at 12 weeks exactly and everything is going just great! got to hear bean again, such a wonderful thing. is anyone getting another early ultrasound done? dr. said i can do one at 13 or 14 weeks if id like.
id love to hear how everyone is doing and catch up with you girls. have a really great weekend!
