Jena-DH and i are so excited....i am still in shock too! I am due around Dec 2...my reg doc says End of Nov...today 4/14 i am 6wks7d..my belly is getting big! i had to buy some maternity shirts and comfy pants....maternity pants are too big!

I haven't had to buy anything new.. yet. Today (4/14) I am 6w3d. I think we will both deliver in November though, for sure! So amazing!!!

Question. I am due Dec 2nd. This is my second child after a decade. I am 6wks 7 days. I have symptoms that are odd and I wonder if it's twins. I had to buy maternity clothes at 6 weeks. I am either severly bloated or fat. I was a size 10 but now nothing fits unless it is low rise jeans. My mood swings were beyond horrible. No morning sickness though. Just really really hungry. (I start to feel sick if I dont eat) I didnt show with my first until I was 5 mths. I am 32 this time but I dont understand these symptoms. Also, I now have SO much energy I can't stand it. I have to be doing something all the time and my sex drive went from 0 to super charged in the last few days. Any similarities to anyone?

C, well, I don't have tons of energy or a sex drive, but I wish I did! :) You could be having twins since you are growing faster, but it's also different with your second and third pregnancies. You just show much sooner. But, you never know. This is my first, so I can't speak from experience regarding subsequent pregnancies, but I've heard a lot about showing later the first time. When do you go to the doctor again? Also, this is a dumb question, but both of you said you are 6w7d - isn't that 7 weeks? :) I'm confused!

I am a 26 day cycle and i have conflicting cal on days. It is either Nov 28 or Dec 2nd. I think the doc will go with Dec 2nd. I am 7 weeks definitly. I have not seen the doctor yet. I called to make the appt. and they made it for April 26th. I dont have any health problems or anything. I just wondered what the deal was for twins since I am perimenopausal before all this. My dr told me that I ovulate only sometimes. Which means that I could release more eggs the next time. I know that the second is different but that was 13 years ago, over 12 years since birth (2/93) so it is more like a first one. I just thought it odd and wondered what everyone else was going through. I think it might be severe bloating. Maybe?

Jena-don't be confused, 6wks7d, 7 wks, same thing! :-) Im just so used to saying 6wks blahblah days, u know! But yes i am 7wks!
