Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi girls I found out a couple days ago that I am 5weeks. I am due Sept8th! DH and I are thrilled. This is my first pregnancy.

Hi everyone, Welcome rosenow! This is my first pregnancy also and I am due September 9th. I don't plan on finding out the s_x - want to be surprised. I've started feeling nauseous this week - first I thought it was my sinuses but as I wasn't feeling any other related symptoms to that - lethargy, achy, fever - I've decided it must be the hormones! I guess that's a good sign.

Hi girls! Welcome Rosenow! Today is another good day. There were times throughout the day that I forgot I was pregnant. :-] At this point I'm not going to find out the s_x, but with so many ultrasounds (I'm high risk) it may be hard not to find out. We've kept it a secret 2x and found out once. The funny part is we waited until 7.5 months to find out. I'm still so excited.

Hi everyone! I went to PCM today and yep....confirmed pregnant! Hopefully, I will get into OB doctor by end of month! Question: Since I'm 38 and 'high risk' should I choose high risk OB doctor or just go to regular OB doctor and see if any problems arise?

Monkey8 - Do you have an OB that you like? Is your current GYN an OB? If so, I would talk to them about it. In my doctor's practice there are some doctors who consider them selves "high-risk" OBs but they are not perinatologists (High-risk - Fetal Medicine Specialist). My OB will see me for all of my "regular" appointments (monthly/bi-monthly/weekly). After my 1st appointment, she will refer me to perinatologist, who will perform my 1st trimester screen (11/12 weeks) and amnio (16 wks). So how is everyone feeling? I've been extremely light-headed and tired. Has memory-loss set in yet? It has for me!

I have felt completely normal and it's freaking me out! I got a BFP on 1/5. I wasn't due for AF until 1/8 and I feel great. It has me worried. I keep forgetting I'm pregnant! Anybody else feel fine??

jensam - When is your due date? I was so hungry last night. I didn't have a big dinner and ended up eating again before bed. I'm so exhausted! Anyone else been to the doctor yet?

hi ladies ! my name is kristina and i'm due on september 5th and would love to join in. this is my second pregnancy. my daughter is 3 so it's still a little fresh in my head. i have an ultrasound tomorrow to see the heartbeat and i'm worried sick over it. actually, started to feel sick for the first time today which is the exact same day i started to feel with the first pregnancy. would love to have ladies to chat with along the journey :-) also, can anyone tell me what week i'm in. i shouldn't be this confused about it, but if i was a full 6 weeks on sunday, am i now in my 7th week ? or my 6th week ? we are def. finding out the s_x. esp. the second time around, but it was lovely knowing the s_x the first time around too !

oh, and i was so happy to see people say they were dizzy/lightheaded b/c i've had that since the very beginning and didn't have that with my first pregnancy so it had me worried. exactly why it's nice to have people to chat with :-)

Hi girls. thanks for the warm welcome. I am not going to find out the s_x. There are so few surprises to be had in this world. I have been feeling very tired and light headaches here and there. I was so tired yesterday and I had a hard time sleeping last night which is unusual for me. I wish I had more pregnancy symptoms so that it would remind me that yes, it's true lol Lia: May I ask why you are considered high risk?

Welcome Kristina! I'm so excited for you for tomorrow. My appointment seems like its weeks away. Well it actually is :-] Please post after and give us an update on the sono and your visit. Week Calculation - So here is how someone explained it to me: The day of the week of your LMP is the day that your week changes. For example my last LMP was Dec 4 (a Friday) so my weeks will always change on Friday. Now I'm currently, 5w4d, but in my 6th week. Not to be confused with 6 weeks pregnant. On Friday, I will be 6w0d (6 weeks pregnant) and entering my 7th week. Think of it like…. when you were 15 months old you were 1 year-old but in your 2nd year of life. Similar concept. I hope I didn't confuse you more. I just tend to stick with the exact count it is a lot easier. There is also a question when it comes to calculating how many months, since gestation is 40 weeks that translates to 10 LUNAR months but not exactly 10 calendar months. Another Topic. LOL Rosenow - I'm considered high-risk because I'm over 35 and, more importantly, my son (1st) was born with a hole in his heart that went undetected throughout my entire pregnancy. The heart disease was the cause of his demise. So with my subsequent pregnancies, I've had multiple ultra-sounds, 1st trimester screens, amniocentesis, and fetal echocardiograms. With all the testing it makes it really hard to not find out. My curiosity is tested at least once a month and they know for certain after my amnio at 15 weeks. I know monkey8 mentioned telling some co-workers, has anyone else told anyone?

Hi girls. My dr just called and my bloowork came in. Friday I tested with 904 HCG so I am doing well so far. Still another 2 weeks before I get to listen to the babie heart beat. What a long way away!!! I am starting to look for baby stuff and cute little clothes! This is such an exciting time! Glad to have people to share it with.

Oh I'm thinking of telling my mom after my apt at 8w.

rosenow - where are you located?

Lia: I am located in Ontario

Hi ladies. I was just wondering if I could join you. I am 6w2d pregnant with my 3rd baby - I have two sons, 3 and 1. I'm figuring my due date to be September 5 but I won't know for sure until my first appointment which isn't until February 2.
