**May 2010 Mamas**

congrats ladies!!

I thought we could use a thread, looking forward to getting to know you!

Happy, healthy, easy 9 months!


Name: Karin
First child?: YES!
EDD: 5/2/10 (give or take, havent had my first OB appt. yet)
Weeks: 4w4d
Symtoms: sore boobs, small bouts of nausea and if I have it this early, I think I am really in for it Also crampy. Sleeping problems, cant fall asleep or stay asleep - last night was hell!

Question, how did you get your Beta done? I called my PCP today to get the paperwork to take to the lab and they told me that i need to make an appointment to be seen? No appointment for a week. I guess I might as well just wait for my first OB appt. in 3 weeks

Re: **May 2010 Mamas**

Congrats to you too!!!! Looks like we are buddies on the same track!


First child?: YES
EDD: 5/2/10 I think. I played with the online calendars, but no official date from the dr. yet.
Weeks: I am in my 4th week
Symtoms: sore boobs, some crampiness on and off, but that is it. I had two betas so far, but I am under the care of an RE so I go almost every week. I was just saying to DH this morning that I don't have many symptoms, which totally freaks me out! I try to keep the crazy thoughts out of my head!!! I have to go Tuesday for b/w and sono. I am hoping to see a little something at the sono Somtimes I feel like I "don't belong" on pregnancy sites. I am almost scared I am going to jinx something. If you haven't noticed, I am a bit of a neurotic

Re: **May 2010 Mamas**

hello!! congrats to you both!!


First child?: NO - DS is 20 months old.

EDD: 5/2/10 depending on which website i go with. no official date yet since my first appt is not until 9/22

Weeks: I am in my 4th week

Sono: 9/22

Symtoms: not much besides a little nausea here and there. maybe i'm too busy with DS that i haven't really noticed.

Re: **May 2010 Mamas**

Hi Girls!!

1st child- Yes Yes Yes!!

EDD-5/6/10-unofficial!

symptoms- really really sore boobs (especially at night), cramping, hormonal! (i really feel like AF is coming!) extremely tired mid afternoons and trouble staying asleep

I have also had IVF so im sooo scared that this is just a mistake and im not really PG!! I just cant believe that it finally happened! I go to the RE next thursday for more blood and 1st sono- what do we expect to see then? The sac? I just really want to get to that 3 month marker so i know things will hopefully be OK! lots of to all of us!

Re: **May 2010 Mamas**

Any updates?

I had my first appointment yesterday at 7w2d. The sonogram looked good and we got to see the baby and the heartbeat which was really fast.

Next appointment is for 12 weeks but I have to go to genetic counseling and also for the test to check for likelihood of Down Syndrome. Just praying everything is ok with the baby.

Re: **May 2010 Mamas**

my first beta came back at 150 (at 4w) and since then, I have been waiting for my first OB appt. which is scheduled for 9/23. I am 7w3d and will be 8w3d at my first appt!

i am feeling pretty good, some nausea but no puking (thank god) minimal aversions, mostly like car fumes get to me.

we are debating on when to break the news to people. our first wedding anniversary is coming up on 10/10 so we are debating on telling our families then! We will be about 11w. We have our parents albums to give to our parents and we are thinking about placing a sono picture at the very end, as the last photo in the back of the albums I dont know if we can wait that long!

I am going to do Intelligenger at 10 weeks I have a feeling that its a boy but who knows!
