Thanks Milk! I didn't know if anyone would want to do it or not! We can set up a schedule for who ever wants to maintain the thread every week, and start it on Sundays. :) Cool beans!

No problem. We don't need to set up a schedule or anything. Last time I was pregnant the weekly threads were started by someone every week without having to worry about a schedule or anything.

So, I woke up with some cramps this morning. I was kind of worried but I realized that they weren't menstrual cramps but my uterus getting stretched out and ready. I don't remember this happening as early, but I guess every pregnancy is different.

I thought I was going to have a hard time giving up coffee (I have a nice cup a day) but yesterday when I thought about it's rich, creamy goodness I had to swallow hard and started to feel a little nauseous. So far, so good and I'm not really suffering headaches from caffeine withdrawls like last time. :thumb

[Can't Be Happier]

I was wondering if I could join you all.

I tested positive on Wednesday.... From all of the websites I think I am due on Dec 6, but I guess I will find out more at my appoinment on April 27th.

We are looking forward to adding another one to the family. We have a little girl who turned one yesterday.:innocent

Hey all, thought I would say hi and subscribe!

I had really bad round ligament pain yesterday after being out and about running errands for 4-5 hours yesterday. Nausea isn't so bad yet, just here and there.

Hi and congrats to all!!!

[Bethkm]

Me too! I'm so happy to join this forum!

Due 12/6/06 with number 2.

I'm exhausted and nauseated all the time. No puking yet and I really don't feel like puking, just have that swimmy feeling in my head and nothing sounds good to eat. Or, I make somethign and think it's gross half way through. I'm heading to the basement right now to sort through what I have stored in maternity clothes!

ETA: Monica, I've noticed a lot of stretching and stuff earlier this time too, I've heard of people feeling these things sooner if it's not the first pregnancy.

That's exactly how I feel right now...minus the nausea (and a wave hit me as I typed that :lol ). I just feel really light-headed and dizzy and I'm so dog tired. Must.take.nap...

[whoMe]

:wave
no time to post now, just subbing!

[whoMe]

Awww... I killed it... (btw, Milk Maker, you have me on the list twice...)

This is #1 for me (should we start including that info with the due dates?) and I have almost no symptoms. After 7 months of trying, it's really really hard to believe right now. Boobs may be a little bigger, and I'm thirsty all the time. Besides that, I just have a vaguely uneasy feeling in my tummy, but nothing I can't explain away as anything else.

When is it going to feel real!?

[sophiamama]

With my first, I didn't really get hit with symptoms (morning sickness, exhaustion, etc) until closer to 8 weeks......this is my second time around and I have been feeling them almost immediately!

[She2dancer]

This is my first, and other than breast tenderness (my cats crawling on top of me in the middle of the night kills --- ouch), I am feeling fine...I keep wondering, am I really pregnant...I guess I should enjoy the lack of symptoms because I am sure it will not last forever....

[party_of_seven]

Add me to the list too please!

I got a BFP this morning.

Beth and Monica-
I've noticed that I'm more crampy too! It's my 2nd baby as well. I did have cramps when I had my miscarriage, and freak out every time I go to the bathroom!

I'm doing good! Called the ob/gyn today and set up my first intake and appt for May 2nd. According to him I'm 4 weeks today and due on 12/19. With dd I was a week late, and if I'm going to go over a week, I'll have a Christmas baby! I just need sticky baby vibes because I'm trying to be zen about the whole mc thing and it's hard! But this pg feels different than when I had my mc.... like the crampies... :) so I'm still hopeful! :D

[Jazmommie]

Guess I will know for sure tomorrow or the next day--had a blood test today.

This would be #4 --I am feeling very sore & pulling feelings & have sore breasts .
My others are 18 ,14 & 7 so this was a surprise!!
I had a short period Mar 3-6-& felt like I had a UTI the next few weeks so I do not know if I am further along --maybe 6 or 7 weeks maybe 5 .

Appt is May 12.
What web site to check EDD?

[sophiamama]

There are bunches online......I use this one for edd http://www.amazingpregnancy.com/duedate/

Congrats!

[Fluffhead]

I actually started this same thread on 4-6 :down so I am just confused why there is a second one now?

[NocturnalDaze]

My EDD for #2 is 12/14/06.

Right now I'm really thirsty, hungry, sore boobs, not exactly crampy but I definately feel something going on. I've had one real bout of nausea. I was only nauseous 3 or 4 times with dd so I'm hoping for the same this time. Somehow I doubt it though.

[Twilight]

I am joining today - I'm due with #2 on December 2. I held off joining for a bit because of nerves from a previous m/c. I had a blighted ovum and miscarried in November. I'm feeling better about this one now... I'm feeling queasy most of the time, have the sore boobs, and I'm tired... just exhausted all the time. Oh and I'm a bottomless pit when it comes to eating... I can't stop.

Looking forward to getting to know you all :)

[emdeecee_sierra]

I keep taking HPTs just to assure myself... what? that this isn't a dream? I had a "chemical pg" (erg I despise that term) a few months ago and I'm just a huge bit nervous that this isn't true. I'm only 12dpo; maybe it will seem more real after AF is truly late. So far I only have sore breasts. I know it will feel more real, too, when the 24 hour morning sickness sets in. I have had a few fleeting moments of nausea. Just long enough for me to notice and think, "Ug. I feel gross. What the heck? OH! WAIT! That's a GREAT thing!! Bring it on!"

So I'm feeling a bit in limbo. Not wanting to really start posting here. Not wanting to jinx this in any way. Even DH hasn't said much about the pg. I think we're both just sort of waiting for me to start acting really pg. I keep telling myself to seize the day, eat, enjoy myself, relax and be happy that I'm pg and feeling great so far, because most likely in a few days I'm going to feel like garbage, nothing will sound good to eat, every smell will make me want to hurl, I'll be so narcoleptically tired I won't be able to keep my eyes open....

And I can't wait.

[miranda]

SierraTahoe! I don't know if you remember me from the TTC boards. I'm hoping that you will officially be joing in the DDC here soon! Take care.

[TesalynsMommy04]

WHOOOOHOOOOO Sierra!!!! I LOVE seeing all my TTC Buddies over here! :) I'm hoping for sticky baby too because I also had a chemical pg back in October and I'm nervous about it too. But I'm feeling very confident about this pregnancy! :) So glad for you to join us!

[patricia1]

Hi, I am happy to join this group. I just got a positive, and according to a due date predictor, I am expecting 12/19/06! For this pregnancy, I have all the symptoms. For my first, I had very few. My biggest symptom is cramping and feeling lower abdominal pressure. Sore nibs, slight nausea, very thirsty and occasionally feeling hungry. I'm nursing so I'm concerned this is contributing to the cramping, and feeling so thirsty.
It's nice to read what you other mamas are experiencing. It's also great to see similar EDDs!

[~*~MamaJava~*~]

Got a positive on Tuesday! EDD 12/19 - doesn't that make two or three of us now?
I had a m/c in October so I am trying not to get too nervous. I am crazy thirsty, bloated, gassy, tired and hungry, yay - all good signs!

[mamabearsoblessed]

HI!!!! Just got my :+ this am.
EDD is 12/25. One year to the day of my m/c. I passed the sac on Christmas Day. Its been quite a road as this has been my second time around battling infert.. I am so happy to be withh all of you ladies and a big HI!!!! to my ttc/one thread girls!!!:love
Congratulations and prayers all around:thumb

[meritodd1221]

due for MP tomorrow, but have gotten positives every day this week, starting out faint, and getting darker by the day. :D

[milk_maker]

I am officially pregnant in the military's eyes and I've got my registration appointment next Tuesday. I spoke with the nurse over the phone and told her that I wanted to stay in family practice because I will be homebirthing. She seemed pretty receptive to the idea so I'm looking forward to meeting her. I'm hoping she can help me figure out how to get a referral for a homebirth midwife so TriCare will pay for it. It's not looking too good though because I can't find a CNM who does homebirths here. They're all CPMs.

[raversangel]

just got my :+ this morning! i'm so excited! it was faint, but definatly there! i would be due around 12/20/06 :D which is really odd for us b/c my dh, and two ds's b-days are but 3 weeks apart!! and mine is in the spring, so this little one is going to be the odd man out ;)

[Kritto]

I'm due 12/30 by my count (my first). Feeling hungry all the time (with occasional slight waves of nausea- nothing bad so far), tired all the time and frequently dizzy. I think I need a nap...
