September Mommies-to-be Thread

I noticed that so many of us are scared and it is early for many of us but I thought I would start a thread to get to know each other and support each other in these early weeks. I almost feel like we are hijacking the pg board

So I am about 5w1d and my first doctor's appt is Monday 1/7. I just have on and off AF like cramping and I am taking 800 mcg of Folic Acid a day.

I am scared to death that I am going to have a m/c. I had a partial molar pregnancy in November 2006 and it has ruined the euphoric innocence of pregnancy for me but I am trying to stay positive and live in the present. I was thinking of going and buying another HPT today to make sure it's still positive. But I guess no spotting or bleeding is a good sign.

Next.........



Sticky dust for all

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

I am crashing... (I am early in my pregnancy 2 due August) try not to stress I was and still am feeling the same way about the MC thing... think positive (I took 7 pregnancy tests - because i could not even believe it)

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

I am so glad my doctor's are able to squeeze me in today so tomorrow I will have more of an idea and hopefully be able to relax and enjoy!

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

I just found out on 1/1/08 and im in the same boat. Im scared to death. I am forcing myself to wake up to eat and take my vitamins because i normally work nites so i can easily sleep through a day. My biggest fear is MC and i cant stop thinking it. im trying to remain positive. My doctors appt is friday and then feb 1st is my first ultra sound. I wish they can tell me everything is ok tommorow. Good luck. This support system is going to be awesome!!!

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

thats a good idea. im feeling tired... but i dont know if thats just me taking it easy. Finding it hard to eat and take the vitamins and drink a lot of water. I hope i didnt mess anything up. They said tommorow they are going to do paperwork take some blood and do an exam. They dont want to do the ultrasound tommorow becuase if they dont hear anything or see anything they dont want me to get worked up or scared. Which is understandable.

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

Add me too!!

This is PG #2 for me and I am still so excited!!

I did an online due date calculator and it said Sept 8th. I have a Doc appointment on 1/15 and DH is coming with me. I will give you a better update then.

to my September Mommies!

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

Can I join too? We got our BFP on 12/30, and our EDD is 9/9/08. This is our second baby, we have a 2 year old son. Hopefully I can help out w. any newbie questions. :) Our first doc appt is 1/28.

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

Welcome Bella and 1 more! Congratulations and best wishes!

How is everyone feeling? I feel pretty good actually. The cramping has subsided and just a little more tired than usual. Trying to remain upbeat and optomistic. The more I logically deduce the more I feel I have nothing to worry about.

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

Hi my fellow September mommies to be....Well according to my online due date calculate it has me at August 30

I am a bit nervous only b/c I havent been experiencing any symptoms besides my ginormous boobs!!!

I had cramps a few days ago but that seems to have gone away...

I took a 125th HPT last night and the line appeared as soon as the pee hit the stick and it was really dark so thats whats keeping me sane...I go Tuesday for my first doc appt but only for bloodwork I think.....

Looking forward to experiencing my pregnancy together with you ladies!!!

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

Im also a cautious September mommy to be. We finally conceived after our try with IVF. Have been for two blood tests so far, first one beta was 180, second 627. I am 5 weeks exactly today. I go for one more blood test on Monday and then my first sono is on the 22nd. Im cautiously excited and more than anything else, I'm exhausted.

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

i am a september mommy-to-be i am also very nervous, this is my first time being PG, and i don't have many symptoms so i still POAS every morning (thank goodness for dollar tree tests!). i have slightly sore boobs, and i am exhausted all the time, and quite gassy but other than that i feel totally normal!

my first appointment is on the 14th and i can't wait! DH and i already told our parents, and we are telling our sisters and grandparents next week.

this is still kind of surreal

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

I found out that I was PG the day before Christmas Eve. My EDD I calcuated is Aug. 31st. I had AF like cramping the first week I found out. My boobs feel like a ton of bricks (they were big enough already,I don't know how to deal with these things). I felt sick the past 2 days, but I started feeling better today. I have been really tired! My first OB appt. was supposed to be the 16th, but changed it to the 21st. Congrats to you all! Glad we can all compare notes!

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

I am having similar symptoms that I had w. DS, some nausea and cramping/muscle soreness in my belly. Whats different is that I have more bloating, by the end of the day I cannot get my pants closed lol, but I think that is gas. My appetite is not great, I am already craving fruits and veggies. -and red meat, which I v. rarely eat. With DS I was addicted to cheesburgers, which may explain the weight gain I had lol.

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

I can "cautiously" enter this thread.

According to online caluclators, I am 4 weeks and 3 days. I found out on 1/1/08. My "online" due date is 9/10/08 and my first doc's appt is January 24th.

I am experiencing bloating and cramping and some tiredness. Oh and very tender boobs!!! But nothing so extreme that I am in bad discomfort. I hope it stays this way but I know there is a long journey ahead.

Like others have mentioned, it is a nerve wracking and senstive time. I have been worried with each passing day but really excited as well.

By the way, I cannot believe I actually posted on a pregnancy thread.

Many prayers and love to all of us and all our preggos!!!!!!!!!

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

I will also most likely be a September Mommy! I found out yesterday, 1/4 and have confirmed with 4 tests! haha I will probably be going to the Dr. Monday for bloodwork. I am roughly 5 weeks 2 days according to the online calculators.
I have a very close with my family and have told my parents, siblings, and grandparents.
I am nervous and hope that we all have a healthy 8 months ahead of us!!

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

HI!! as per the computer I'm due 9/12.

I have a dr. appt on the 16th but so worried since I will not even be 6 weeks at the appt. (already had the appt. for my annual). I know it might to early to see the heartbeat

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

I was wondering if anyone is feeling really emotional. I have wanted a baby for a long time now but i was not going to try until june and it happened early. Im excited but i feel like i start crying out of nowhere. I feel happy, nervous, and emotional all at the same time.
