Wow...

[Basylica]

Does this make me first??

I got 2 positive HPTs on monday, and another on wednesday...
Period isn't due until the 28th though!! *eep*

EDD would be dec 3rd or so, i'm figuring

I got the pos on 9dpo, and i'm slightly freaked at the thought of TWO little peas in this pod

So...yeah

[Kristeremy]

I just got . I'm afraid to believe it! We actually had 2 lines last night, but they were after the blasted 10 minute limit, so I was afraid to trust it. But they were there today, within the time limit!

I'm so happy and so scared! We lost our last baby at 6 weeks, so it will be hard not to be fearful. But those lines were really there!

According to date of O, we're due 12/6! I'm so happy! And so freakin' emotional!!! Must be because I had 2 lines!

I still can't say the 'P' word yet!

Two little peas just make the pod more cozy!

Congrats!!!!

[Basylica]

I totally know that feeling, and i've done this all before!!

*eeek*

I'm trying to nail down birth center stuffs and insurance stuffs right now.
I don't want to go back to where my son was born (long story) but there are several good birthcenters who can bill out of network to my current ins (cigna) which means we'll have to pay like 40%....blah!
Still, better than a hospital birth IMHO.

BUT, one of the centers I was looking at, is VERY close to my work, which would make appts easier on me (I can go during "lunch"...not need a sitter for the baby...etc) AND she's almost approved as in-network for my employer's insurance (united health)

SO, i'm waiting to hear from her, and I emailed my office mgr about switching insurance under the guise about it being cheaper (which it probably will...since we pay "family" rates for 3 people, it's double what the two of us were. According to the rumor mill, insurance here is free...so if they will switch me...that'll help!)
Hopefully they don't have enrollment things (ie, new hire or birth/marriage only) and I can switch. *Crosses fingers*

A fully covered midwife birth would ROCK!!
Last time we got a big discount ontop of the 40% rate, and it was still 1500 bucks. Eep.

Congrats though! Very sticky thoughts for you!

I'm already planning of course, but I can't think the P word until after i'm "late" lol.

If you haven't done one already, I bought one of the new digi tests for this babe (they came out when I was like 6m preg with my son...lol) and the little screen popping up PREGNANT is definately soothing

Trying to squint and justify faint lines just isn't the same

Hi ladies,

I hope I am joining this group. I am 11 days post ov, had cramps day 9 and 10. I bought tests tonight but am scared to test and get a neg. I have a history of false negatives. My EDD would be 12/5 ish but my two babies both came 10-14 days "late" so it would be more like the 15th.

Anyway, I'm puttin in my reservation and hopefully I'll make it here in the next few days.

Kristermy, hang in there. I had a mc also and the next pregnancy is hard until you pass the point you mc'd. But then the relief is so sweet. It will come. Talk to your baby and ask her to stay this time.

COngratulations everyone!!

[doularn]

I won't be joining the party this time. Best wishes for a wonderful pregnancy and amazing birth.

[Ambiebambie101]

I got my positive today, and my due date is the 6th of December according to my O date.
I'm so nervous!

[Kristeremy]

Doularn--best wishes next time!

Ambiebambie101--Congrats! I'm due on the 6th, too! I am trying very hard not to be nervous, but I so am.

I'm having lots of symptoms, though, and that's encouraging! My boobs are tender, I'm emotional, a bit crampy, and EXHAUSTED! That's very encouraging!

[Ambiebambie101]

I'm not really having any symptoms.
I'm a little nauseous.
My nips are kinda sensitive.
I'm tired.
That's it. It's kind of freaking me out. I plan on testing again tonight, just to make sure that I am. The line on my test was so thin looking, but everyone said that it was still a line though, so I'll probably go to confirm sometime this week with bloodwork.

[Kristeremy]

I had blood drawn Friday-the first day I was sure I saw a line w/i the time limit. My progesterone was very low last time and I miscarried at 6 weeks. I go through phases with being nervous/not nervous. Right now I've been having achy twinges on the right, and it scares me because I worry about ectopic.

I tend to be a worrier.

Jumping in from November, especially since I'm due late Nov and could theoretically go into Dec...

I'm 5w4d and today I finally started feeling really queasy. Prior to that, I didn't have much in the way of symptoms. So don't let lack of symptoms freak you out. Besides, you DO have symptoms... You listed 3 of the major ones right there!

I already had my 6 week OB appt (based on LMP, they think I'm due 11/14, but my OB agrees that since I have long cycles and I CHART, I'm not really due then, so it's more like 23rd or 24th, and he even pushed my 8 week u/s back a bit to make it closer to 8 weeks... they'll officially change the due date in my chart after that u/s). They didn't do a blood test, but did do a urine test and said "Yep, you're pregnant!" I was like "Well duh, I'm slightly queasy, slightly fatigued in the afternoons, and my pants absolutely don't fit anymore". That's my biggest symptom - the pants not fitting. I tend to pop out before AF is even due. It happened even with my first pregnancy! Probably lack of abdominal muscles.

For the hpt, I used those $1 ones from Dollar General. They're great little tests! But it freaked me out a bit that they don't show the line right away (or at least they didn't for me). It was about a minute before you started to see a faint line. Last preg, I'd used EPT, and it was a very immediate line. So these tests work great, but just psyche me out a bit! But within the 3 minute time frame, it was definitely a line. And basically, if you have a line within 10 minutes, it's positive. After 10 minutes, it could be an evaporation line.

[Kristeremy]

We were using Dollar General tests. It's great feeling like I'm not throwing money away. But it's interesting that you noticed a delayed line, too.

By date of O, I'm due 12/6, but I wouldn't be surprised if I have a November baby-we'll just have to jump back and forth from both boards! Besides, there's a lot more action at the November board right now! Still waiting for the Dec bfps!

I was freaking out yesterday because I had some rather sharp twinges in my right abdomen--totally made me nervous about ectopic. But thankfully, I kinda calmed down. I'm trying really hard to just say in the moment!

In this moment, I want to take a nap, but I need to go take a shower while dd is sleeping. So off I go.

Yeah, and the lady said "That's alot of tests" when I walked up with 5 of them while we were still TTC. But last preg, I bought a 4-pack of EPT from Costco, and only needed 1. So I figured if I had that many this time, I would only need 1 again. It worked!

Yep! I have no clue whether I might go early or late, since last preg went WAY WAY WAY early (PROM at 29 weeks). The OB doesn't think it will happen again though. And family history suggests anytime from a week early to a week late. So who knows?

Weekend before last, I was freaking out because of pains in the middle of my lower abdomen. Then I remembered having pains down there with #1. Just stuff stretching!!! Didn't help that we'd DTD that morning, so I had "stuff" leaking out that felt kind of like AF starting. I also wonder if maybe the pains were related to DTD... I dunno.

Today, my freak out is the fact that I laid down and tried to feel the uterus I shouldn't feel for another 6.5 weeks, and I felt "something"... bladder? I don't know. But it shouldn't be my uterus... If it is, we'd be looking at twins. And of course that brings the mixed emotions - 2 are a double blessing, but they're also more work! Anyway, I don't think it's my uterus I'm feeling. I think I'm just insane. And my mind will be put at ease a week from Friday when I have an u/s.

[Basylica]

I was REALLY tired, and had butterflies in my tummy with my first. thats about it for symptoms. No sore bbs, no MS...nothing really.
I wore my pre-preg pants until 20w when I just sized up and wore those until 30w. lol.

I did the same thing with the preg tests myself. I bought a 3pk of digitals to use if/when I did get a positive, and then recently bought a 15pk of aimstrips.
and I used ONE before I got a positive with this one on my cycle beforehand. Doh.

Now i'm overloaded with preg tests! lol.

By LMP i'm due 11/30, but by O date, i'm due 12/3....so i'm hopping back and forth between the two months right now too. Waiting for more BFP!

I've taken er, 4 aimsticks and 2 digitals and they were all pos. I think i'm pregnant

[Cathi]

I'm here! Wow, what a surprise we got this last weekend. Two + HPTs confirmed it and we're due around Dec 3rd. We're stoked! But we haven't told our other two kiddos yet. Can't wait to meet everyone!!

[mother_sunshine]

Congrats Mamas! I'm happy to join you. Just got a yesterday and today (to make sure ). EDD is 12/8.

Kristeremy, I think it's totally normal for you to feel this way. I do too. I had 2 miscarriages between our second and third births, and when I was pregnant I was so nervous and scared for most of the pregnancy. Even though I had another child since the 2 miscarriages, it's still in the back of my mind that it could happen again and nothing is promised. I'm trying to enjoy every minute of this blissfulness hoping and praying that I will get to hold this wee little one in my arms in about 9 months. I just wanted to make sure you knew you were normal to feel this way.

Take care, Sara

[Kristeremy]

Thanks, Sara. I'm trying to trust it, too. Worrying now won't change any outcomes anyway. I'm just trying to enjoy every moment.
