How far along are you? 5w 5d



Any fun symptoms going on? Tired and thirsty, and I've been having weird feelings in my breasts that are very similar to what letdown felt like when I was nursing. I keep reflexively checking to see if I've soaked through my shirt, even though my boobs remain completely deflated, milkless shells of their former selves. 


Any appointments this week? Nope, nothing until Nov. 12


Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? I really want pie.

Can we start a support group?  My boobs are just a ghost of what they once were.

How far along are you? No idea

Any fun symptoms going on? Exhaustion. And I'm being a total birch to my husband which I sorta feel bad about and sorta am happy I have an excuse to birch about all the stuff I want to and normally keep my mouth shut about.

Any appointments this week? Nope. No one wants to see me any time soon (I think)

Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? I'm eating food I know is going to make me sick, but it's so good I don't care. I am going to have to hide it, DH and I promised no money on food. But it's sooo good.

Yes! We need a catchy name. Baggy Boobs Anonymous? Previously Perky Pairs? Dude, Where's my Rack?

It happened overnight too; add that to the list of things I wasn't prepared for.

Uh oh, this has happened to me already too, except I can't blame a current kid for it! I'm just an old lady at 38, and I also lost about 15 pounds (why it had to come from the breasts and not the hips is annoying!)

Once upon a time I was a DD cup. Now I'm a C. I'll probably be an A after baby. Boo

Yes!  Please add my deflated water balloons to the group.

How far along are you? 7 w 4 d

Any fun symptoms going on? Nausea and vomiting, extreme exhaustion, I had a little spotting over the weekend but that's gone now. Tender breasts.

Any appointments this week?nope, still hanging on for another 2 weeks till I go in

Rants/Raves/Random thoughts?
I broke down and told my mom. I feel so horrible, and I was freaking out about the spotting, I just needed her sympathy.

DD is being a terror lately and I don't have any energy to keep up with her. I just want to sleep all day, but of course I have trouble napping when she does. Sigh.

Ugh! It's the worst! I'm excited to get some boobs back with breastfeeding again and pregnancy. It's crazy how quickly they deflated when I stopped BFing DS!

Mine are such a depressing, empty, saggy shell of what they were. At 23 this is devastating...not really but maybe a little bit.

How far along are you? 7w 3 days

Any fun symptoms going on? So many...I'm exhausted, always feel hungry but nothing sounds appetizing. I have some nausea and vomited a couple times. I feel like I can't get relief. Although I feel like crap, I'm happy!!

Any appointments this week? I graduated from the RE last week. First appt with the OB is Friday. I'll be 8 weeks then.

Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? I'm still feeling out my OB. Not sure if I will stay with her but I'm giving her another chance. When I was going through my IF testing, she wasn't taking me seriously. Every issue I brought up to her, she told me was completely normal. When I went to the RE, he told me it wasn't normal. I guess I just lost a lot of trust. So, we'll see....

[sandandsea]

How far along are you? 5w 5d

Any fun symptoms going on? a little less sleepy, a little more queasy, and still sore/swollen chest - seriously this surprised me last time too, but my bras are already super tight and overflowing.

Any appointments this week? 10/30 is my first

Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? So far, this PG seems sooo much like the beginning of my last PG, so I'm hoping it's a good sign! I'm also craving salty snacks. This time, I have the Preggie pops ready and know all the tricks so I'm hoping the MS (all day for me) isn't as bad.

Yes!  I keep checking this too!!! But mine are huge and swollen now.

How far along are you?

I thought I was 7 weeks 3 days based on LMP, Ultrasound showed 5weeks 5 days.

Any fun symptoms going on?

Lots of nausea and exhaustion.

Any appointments this week?

Had my first appointment and ultrasound this morning.

Rants/Raves/Random thoughts?

I'm not happy about being pushed back a week and a half. I will be going back in two weeks for another ultrasound to confirm my due date. That's what happened to me today too! I thought I was 6w +1, and then they told me 5w+4.

[mymilkshake]

How far along are you? 5weeks 4 days

Any fun symptoms going on? Tired, but not sleeping well so theres that. Intermittent nausea but really nothing terrible yet.

Any appointments this week? Had my first u/s today. They measured me at 5 weeks 4 days and I was immediately nervous because I thought I was 6 weeks 1 day. I mentioned that I thought I ovulated on CD 17 and not 14. The nurse was very reassuring and said everything looked right on target and I seem to be on track for when I O'd. I definetely feel better after looking atthe roster here and seeing that the girls with due dates right behind me were in week5 too! I'm not sure what info I was pluggin into ovia I guess??!

Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? Before I got pregnant, I was supposed to have a polyp removed tomorrow. My sister and my parents all knew about it. I told my parents I was pregnant last week because my mom was asking me everyday about it! And I'm going to tell my sister tonight. She's pregnant and due in February and I'm pretty sure will be pretty excited about our kids being so close in age. Fingers crossed everything keeps looking good!

[twobananas]

How far along are you? 4w 1d

Any fun symptoms going on? Nope, feeling pretty good so far, other than crazy chapped lips.. not sure where that's coming from.

Any appointments this week? None, just scheduled my first in Nov when I'll be 8 weeks!

Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? Anyone know of a fun site that tells you the size of the baby? Other than the traditional fruit sizes..

[pistachiomuffin]

How far along are you? 4w5d

Any fun symptoms going on? The sides of my face have a burning sensation. I had this last pregnancy too and it was one thing that made me think I was pregnant now too. Not feeling anything else yet.

Any appointments this week? Nope, I see the midwife on the 29th and have an ultrasound on the 9th.

Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? We were working with an re, my sister is a nurse at the same clinic so my family knew that we've been trying. I talked to my mom today and had to lie like crazy when she asked how things were going. We aren't telling my family for another week and a half because that's the next time we will all be together. I just don't want to see anyone until then so I can stop making up stories!

[high5]

How far along are you? 4 weeks 5 days

Any fun symptoms going on? I am like I have a stomach flu . So tired and sore boobs.

Any appointments this week? Nope, not until November 1st and I am so hoping I get an ultrasouond.

Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? I was no where near as sick this early with my last pregnancy and that freaks me out slightly. I am lucky today my DD took her naps because I just did not have the energy for a full day of it.

[Andrea]

I walked into my house tonight & my husband lovingly said, "Babe you look SO tired. Like you have the flu tired." Good thing he's cute.

My H asked me if I was doing okay at least once an hour all weekend. Finally I was like "Do I look/act that awful that you need to keep asking?" And his response was "I'm just worried about you because I love you". Then I realized that this is HIS first too, and he's allowed to be anxious just like me.

[towncargirl]

How far along are you? 7 weeks 4 days baby is measuring 7+5

Any fun symptoms going on? Morning sickness galore. Puked yesterday when I had a migraine. And my Bewbs are huge and killing me!

Any appointments this week?
Had one today!! Baby is measuring 7 weeks 5 days and had a extremely healthy heartbeat. This is the first time I've made it to a second ultrasound where the baby was healthy I am over the moon! I have graduated from my specialist and have to find a regular ob now!
Rants/Raves/Random thoughts?
Even with our loss history I'm itching to tell everyone. Especially my siblings as they are all really young still. Hubby is making me wait.

Lol, mine is in the same boat. After a pointed look he said, "growing a baby is hard work love, gotta be exhausting!"

[packerfan4life]

How far along are you? 6 week, I think

Any fun symptoms going on? Occasional nausea, I think my boobs are bigger but they're not sore any more, and I'm tired, but I'm always tired, this is just giving me an excuse to embrace a 9pm bedtime

Any appointments this week? No, my goal this week is to actually call and set up an ob appt. First step - find an ob

Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? We announced to our immediate families and one of my best friends this weekend. It's exciting for other people to know. Makes it feel more real.

[titania]

twobananas, the ovia app has a couple of options you can use for size instead of the traditional fruit.

[flojo973]

twobananas, I like this "guys" guide to baby size.

I like the Ovia options. I'm a raspberry today! The peppercorn may be my favorite so far though... it's possible that may be my nickname for this little one.

Love the nickname!  I bounce between all of them, but right now I am Brookesia Micra Chameleon!  The nickname I have been using is Muffin... I have my fingers crossed that one week the Parisian Bakery will have a muffin size

[regal]

How far along are you? 4w 4d

Any fun symptoms going on? sore boobs, constant heartburn, some nausea, super bitch

Any appointments this week? I just called the midwife yesterday, first appointment is usually at 8 weeks but I might see if I can just at 12 weeks for the US and blood work. At the first appointment they just tell you about the practice and do paperwork, but I've been there for two previous pregnancies and my midwife will likely be the same.

Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? My anxiety is starting already, I was hoping to make it through the whole pregnancy without needing meds, but I'm starting to think I'll be begging for them after first tri.

[broadwaymama]

How far along are you? 7 weeks 4 days

Rants/Raves/Random thoughts?
Just so sick of feeling sick! I want to eat again

regal, Hope you can get your anxiety under control.

broadwaymama, I miss food so much. I heart eating.
