I'll be the first!

[Mom2Cora]

We just found out this week we're expecting #2 !!!
EDD~ December 1st

Just thought I'd start something going here in the December area since no one has yet...come introduce yourself!!

[coleslaw]

Hey Mom2Cora!! Congrats to you! I just found out a couple a days ago and am due 12/7. This is my 2nd also. I'm already bulging a little and feeling my stomach stretch and I am only 12 dpo. I hope you say yes because now I'm thinking twins.

I didn't know they had these due date baords!! I started a thread in the I'm Pregnant section. Glad we're here now!! Can't wait to get to know you!

[Mom2Cora]

Hiya Coleslaw!! Congrats!!
I'm bloated and having major round ligament pains already! I dont think I remember having those til close to the 2nd tri last time around. But this was actually my first first symptom before I even tested.
We had taken clomid this cycle so our chance of twins goes up about 10% or so, so thats been a big topic of discussion..I REALLY dont want twins! :LOL

Other than the pains and fatigue, I'm feeling really good so far

I don't want to jinx myself. But coleslaw and I have a certain day in common. That's all I'm gonna say :LOL

[mommyheidi]

We just found out yesterday that we're expecting #2 as well - also on 12/7! Of course now I've convinced myself that since I've told some people I'm prego that AF will start tomorrow. This after using 5 tests...

[Kundalini-Mama]

So, my fellow pearl harbor girls, are either of you wicked paranoid that your period is going to start tomorrow?? I'm 13dpo today, & it always starts on 14dpo.

I just want to be pregnant so darn bad!!

I took 2 FRER on 11 & 12 dpo, the first was incredibly faintly positive, and the 2nd is faint. I just don't want another chemical pregnancy

AAAhhhhh.

So I can stop worrying about a chemical pregnancy in another week, I figure, and then I can just concentrate on getting through to the 12 week mark.

I forgot how stressful the beginnning of pregnancy is :LOL

Amy

[mommyheidi]

Can you tell me what a chemical pregnancy is? Now I'm freaking out!

I am worried I'll start, too, I've heard that some people have had positives and then still gotten AF. All I can do is wait I suppose, but I thought the waiting part was over...

[Kundalini-Mama]

oh jeez, I didn't mean to give you another stress

A chemical pregnancy is basically just what you said, you get a , but then you start your period a couple of days later, and it is usually a little heavier and a little longer. I had one back in November.

I've been doing some Reiki on my uterus :LOL , but I also have been doing a lot of imagery of a little embryo digging deeper into my uterine wall.

All we can do is wait it out, as you so noted.


to all of us

[coleslaw]

Welcome Heidi and Amy!!! Good to see you! Pretty funny to all be due on the same day!

Amy, yes I still keep thinking this is all going to go away. But everyday I feel progress with my little one. I feel the extra blood flowing through my heart. And I am already seeing an increase in my belly! A good thing, yet...

I am also worried because I have been so very sad lately. One of our two cats, the one that took to me much more, was killed by a car on Sunday morning. I won't go into the details of the day, but luckily a neighbor told us and we found her instead of wondering forever what happened. She was the cutest cat ever, really. And the best personality, so easy going, quiet, but not silent. Lots of things. So I have been crying my eyes out whenever I am separate from my dd (I scared her the first day when the news came by crying). So anyway, I feel so badly that this little one is starting off his life with his Mommy in mourning. I keep thinking the stress will weaken him and he'll "let go." But so far, he's a strong one!

When are you all telling people? We haven't told family yet, but I let a couple of friends know. Ooops!

[Mom2Cora]

Congrats All!!

I'm definately worried, I am 5 weeks today and m/c'd at 5 weeks in 2001 so I'd like to get past this day
I have low progesterone and had to take suppositories with DD, but this one is a clomid baby and my progesterone looks really good so far. I'm just scared that my body will stop producing it one day. I'll be much less worried once we hear the heartbeat. I have my first prenatal on the 26th and I'll be 8w6d but dont think we'll be able to hear it then.

We have told both sets of our parents and our siblings, one of my grandmothers and our best friends. Jason also told 2 of his professors :LOL

I wish you all healthy pregnancies and babies!

[witchbaby]

i just wanted to drop by and wish all you ladies a safe and healthy pregnancy! i gave birth to my own december baby in 2003 and look forward to eavesdropping on your pregnancies and reliving my own...
*hugs* and congrats to all of you!

[MountainLovinMama]

I'm due with #2 on December 6. Still edgy...after the stress of TTC, the stress of the beginning of pg seems like "happier" stress, but still, it is stressful! I'm feeling great, though!

[mommyheidi]

"we" haven't told anyone, but I've told some close friends and my mother. Dh doesn't want to tell anyone yet just in case... I tell him to stop trying to to jinx it! Tomorrow I'm taking another test, I'll be 30 days then.

Coleslaw - I'm so sorry about your kitty! I hope you feel better though!

AmyD - so is that the same thing as an early m/c or something completely different??? I'm so clueless here...

[laurata]

Yeah, a chemical pregnancy is essentially a very early miscarriage- what in the past would have just been passed off as a late period, or not noticed at all. They're "becoming" more common because of how sensitive hpts are. I had one in December. :-( However, I will be tenatively joining you.

I've taken about 5 tests over the past two days, all of which have been faint positives. I'm nervous that I'll have another very early loss, but I feel hopeful that this is a sticky. I think I'll feel relieved when I get to 6-8 weeks, and even more so once I pass week 13!

I expect this babe will make an appearance by Christmas. There will be no sharing of due dates from this mama as I don't want folks to be asking, "Isn't that baby here yet?" for the last 6-8 weeks. So my answer to "When are you due?" will be "Sometime between Turkey Day and New Years, whenever she's ready."

Oh, and at this point, I don't plan on telling ANYONE until I hit the second trimester. I want to relish in the secret knowledge, yk? I might just wait until I start to show, which I think would be very funny. People will think I'm just starting to get fat again! :LOL:

Sicky Baby Vibes for us all!

[Kundalini-Mama]

Hi mamas!!

Well my period was due yesterday, and thankfully, a no-show.

I'm still incredibly nervous, and like you said laurata, I will feel much better after 8 weeks, and even better at 13.

I'm going to start a new thread, about who we have told and why, so look out for it!

Congratulations to our new Dec 2004 members!!

Amy

[coleslaw]

Hey Laura and kristi !!! Congratulations!! Good to see you over here.

[tarablesue]

HEY Everyone! I have graduated after my very short stay at the TTC board ( I was only there a month, but we have been TTC since July 2003)

I am due around Dec 4th. I go to the doctor April 7.
Congratulations to you all!

[Adamsmama]

Hi everyone! By my LMP I'm due Nov. 29th...by O date my EDD is Dec. 3rd...I'm willing to bet my Dr. moves me to Dec. 1st. (They moved me 2 days from lmp last time). Anyway, I had a chem. pg last month ... I tested so faint it was barely visiable at first and got a little darker with FRER at 10 dpo. This time I tested at 10, 11, 12, & 13 dpo and each day + and each day slightly darker. 13 dpo was an e.p.t. and it was a good 2nd line. We told family the next day and friends a few days later. I had sore breasts, dizziness, mood swings, frequent urination and very vivid dreams during the 2ww...and it continues. No morning sickness yet!

[mommyheidi]

Vivid dreams

I was thinking about this when I woke up this AM for my usual temp. taking; I've had really vivid dreams for about a week -week & 1/2 now and I had forgotten that I had them while PG with DD. Still no morning sickness though, although I've been gagging a lot lately... They should invent a shorter toothbrush for pregnant women.

[coleslaw]

Welcome Tara and Alex!!!

mommyheidi, the toothbrush gagging was my first symptom with my first. It was terrible!! So sorry it's happening to you.

After feeling my body changing every day almost all day for about a week, things have quieted down. I feel a very distant feeling of nausea, but crossing my fingers that this pg will be different!!
