So who is due in June?
I'm due June 11 and was wondering how everyone is feeling at this stage of their pregnancy?!? I am at the point that sometimes iforget that I am PG because I have so much energy and the MS is NON-EXISTENT!
How are your doctor's treating you? Have you had any screenings or tests done yet? I go for my AFP test January 7 and then we schedule my level II at that appoitnment...
I am starting to get soo excited... It's finally becoming REAL!

Re: So who is due in June?
I'm due June 15th. I pretty much have had no symptoms - I felt a little naseous a few times but nothing I would consider morning sickness. I actually lost weight and then gained a few pounds - and I feel fine.
I haven't had any tests yet. It all hit me so quickly (LAST WEEK  ) So far so good! I'm hoping the next 6 months go as smoothly as the first 3 have.

Re: So who is due in June?
I am due June 25th. I haven't had any m/s but I have been very tired. I had and internal songram at 7 weeks to see the heartbeat and just heard the heartbeat with a dopler on the 15th. I declined the AFP so other than that, no tests for me besides the usual bloodwork. I have gained 9 lbs already!!!!!

Re: So who is due in June?
I'm due June 1st.
I've had my ultrascreen and everything came back Great.
My doc didn't mention anything to me about AFP... (not even sure what that is)
I have my level II on Jan. 16... but at our last sono the tech was about 90% sure it's a  !!!
But I'm going to make it official after our Level II and we have everything confirmed.
I've been feeling good. I get very queezy in the mornings sometimes. My stomach has been stretching as well. I'm looking forward to finally feeling the baby!
Other than that I'm doing great!

Cheryl, I'm having the AFP today. This is what it is:
What is an alpha-fetoprotein screening (AFP)?
Alpha-fetoprotein screening is a blood test that measures the level of alpha-fetoprotein in the mothers' blood during pregnancy. AFP is a protein normally produced by the fetal liver and is present in the fluid surrounding the fetus (amniotic fluid), and crosses the placenta into the mother's blood. The AFP blood test is also called MSAFP (maternal serum AFP).
Abnormal levels of AFP may signal the following:
open neural tube defects (ONTD) such as spina bifida.
Down syndrome.
other chromosomal abnormalities.
defects in the abdominal wall of the fetus.
twins - more than one fetus is making the protein.
a miscalculated due date, as the levels vary throughout pregnancy.
How is an alpha-fetoprotein test performed?
Although the specific details of each procedure vary slightly, generally, an alpha-fetoprotein test follows this process:
Blood is usually drawn from a vein between the 15th and 20th weeks of pregnancy (16th to 18th is ideal).
The blood sample is then sent off for laboratory analysis.
Results are usually available within one to two weeks or less, depending on the laboratory.

Re: So who is due in June?
Yah!!! There are so many of us
I am due June 6 but will be delivering via c-section the 2nd to last week in May 
I was sooo sick the first trimester. I was hospitalized because of all the vomiting I tore my esophogus and I was very dehydrated. Now I am just getting fatter and sleeping all the time.
I have been sick for 2 days with bronchitis so that has been fun
I had the ultrascreen and everything came back great Level II is on Jan 5th and my AFP is on Dec 27th.

Re: So who is due in June?
I am due June 14th. I have been feeling great. No M/S only VERY tired!!! I am still very tired. I have gained two pounds and i have popped out a little. I go for my blood test on the 9th and then i will schedule my level two. I have had two internals and one sonogram so far. For some reason my group doesn't share the heart beat until the level two
