Hump Day, no real Bump Day.

4w4d here. I don't ever puke during pregnancy, but instead have diarrhea...which has started.

All my past pregnancies I've lived on unisom and I've already started taking that to help with the nausea.

Had my first hcg draw yesterday and it was 1275, so I was super excited. Have a follow up draw tomorrow and as long as all goes well we will schedule my first scan.

3w6d. I have to see my doc next week for something unrelated so I'll mention the pregnancy then and hopefully get an early dating scan. I'm fairly certain of my O date but my last period was in October.

Also started taking my dialectin already in the hopes I won't puke as much as last time. Last night I was making pretend puke sounds and my DD was laughing so hard. Not cool kid.

4w1d here. Bloated like whoa. I probably won't be wearing pants for awhile. Dresses/skirts + leggings for the foreseeable future.

Also, the heartburn is killing me. I had to get some Tums to carry around with me.

Can't wait for my repeat beta tomorrow! I really hope it doubles appropriately.

Zantac is your friend. I took one daily during third tri last pregnancy. It is a godsend. I've already had to take one several days this week.

I'm trying to hold off because the heartburn isn't very consistent. But it becomes more frequent, I'll definitely partake.

I can't wait until it's a little bit busier up in here.

Yassssss! I keep checking the board hoping to have someone to talk to since I can't complain to anyone IRL. But this place is still *crickets*.

All the bloat. Like bad enough to where I got on the scale this morning. I'm expecting a bump quickly. This is my 3rd pregnancy and I started to have something at the end of the first trimester with my second. It's all good though. Can we talk about exhaustion and hormones? I'm a sleepy sobbing mess! 😆

Same. I was towards the end of the month when I joined S15 and it was already busy. It's so weird to be among the first here. Weird and boring.SaveSave

Anyone else keep peeing on all the sticks? FFWC I have peed on probably 10 sticks.

yes...I was peeing on sticks until I got my first beta done. I got my bfp a week before my expected period though, so I was anxious until I actually missed AF.

yes to the exhaustion. It doesn't help that I'm off work all week so it's way too easy to be lazy.

I'm planning to go through my maternity clothes this week sometime. My philosophy on them is to start wearing them whenever because you don't get to wear them long enough to get your monies worth...and they're way more comfortable anyways!

I've decided to alternate POAS with betas. So I got my BFP on Monday (peed on 2 wondfos, a CB digital OPK, one shitty 7-eleven blue due, a CB digital, and a FRER), beta yesterday, more POAS today (two wondfos and the last shitty 7-eleven blue dye), and then final beta tomorrow.

I've got a shit ton of wondfos, so I'll probably keep POAS until I have my first ultrasound in two weeks.

Also, I'm pretty sure that going off my heart med (per my cardiologist's instructions) is making me get migraines. As if I'm not feeling shitty enough.

I get migraines too and they get worse during pregnancy. Last pregnancy I was taking fioricet & it worked pretty good....

Yeah, I think that's what they're going to put me on. The RE wasn't in today and the office is close tomorrow, so the nurse will talk to him about it on Monday.

I'll be honest, it's not as quick & efficient as regular migraine mess, but it makes it tolerable. I feel like I had a headache to some degree from about 12 weeks to 35 weeks last time.
