add me please 4-14

Re: ***OFFICIAL APRIL 2011 MOMMIES TO BE THREAD***

Looks like there's quite a few of us due in April! I seem to be the newest addition here as I have the latest EDD, but I also have very short cycles (23-24 days) so when I got my BFP I was only 14 DPO. What symptoms have you girls had so far?

For me, I've been feeling those pinching "cramps". They come and go and aren't horribly painful. More uncomfortable. Otherwise I feel GREAT!

ETA: Definitely am with you on the tiredness. Thank goodness I'm off from work in the summer because I've been napping every day at 3:00. Hope that phase passes quickly! lol And I also think my boobs have already started to get bigger which I really don't want (I'm already a 36D!!!) lol

Re: ***OFFICIAL APRIL 2011 MOMMIES TO BE THREAD***

I've had the same with the cramps.. but lately they have been few and far inbetween.. aslo I have sore boobs but I always have gotten that before AF so that's not too different for me.. I started to have m/s a few days ago and it was really bad yesterday but today I feel like it was gone.. But when I ate I couldn't eat that much otherwise I would feel sick..Oh.. and I've been soooo tired!!!

Re: ***OFFICIAL APRIL 2011 MOMMIES TO BE THREAD***

I've had morning sickness/nausea that comes and goes throughout the day. I wake up either fine or really nauseous and it goes away and comes back in waves. My boobs are just starting to get sore, not too bad but my nipples feel like theyre black and blue. And of course, the discharge, lots of it...gross!!

Forgot to mention...I burp up everything I eat!

ETA: EXHAUSTION EXHAUSTION EXHAUSTION....I'm surprised I'm up this late....i'm actually typing with one eye open

Re: ***OFFICIAL APRIL 2011 MOMMIES TO BE THREAD***

sore breasts come and go
had some mild cramping a week ago
the worst is the tiredness ALL THE TIME!
no morning sickness or nausea...didnt have it with my first pregnancy either....im hoping i dont get it with this one

Re: ***OFFICIAL APRIL 2011 MOMMIES TO BE THREAD***

I have been soooo tired and very thirsty. I also feel cramping, every now and then. I keep getting nervous that I should be feeling more.

Re: ***OFFICIAL APRIL 2011 MOMMIES TO BE THREAD***

Thanks for adding me!! Fridays are a hard day for me to come on the boards because DH is home all day.

Anyway, I have had some minor cramping and I am totally exhausted. One last symptom I'm starting to feel is tenderness in my breasts.

Congrats to all of us!!!!

Re: ***OFFICIAL APRIL 2011 MOMMIES TO BE THREAD***

So excited for this thread and I am so happy to see so many of us on it!!

As with many of you, I have been having dull minor cramping on and off since I got my BFP. I go to the bathroom every 20 minutes and I have been EXHAUSTED! I am in bed every night no later than 9pm (and that with taking an afternoon nap). I am a teacher, but worked summer session and it just ended on Friday, so I am soo excited to be off for the next 3 weeks, so I can just relax.
I have sore/tender boobs and my skin has broken out like a teenager

But so far, I am loving everything about being pregnant!!!

Re: ***OFFICIAL APRIL 2011 MOMMIES TO BE THREAD***

I completely agree with the tiredness! I can barely keep my eyes open some afternoons and that's after going to bed at about 10 the night before and not getting up until 7.

I'm feeling some cramps too - nothing painful, but sometimes uncomfortable. I feel it more when I'm trying to sleep or sitting at my desk at work. I guess I'm probably just more aware of it then.

Oh yeah, and my boobs are so sore!!!!

I LOVE being pregnant though, so I don't mind the changes at all :)

Re: ***OFFICIAL APRIL 2011 MOMMIES TO BE THREAD***

You can add me!!!!!!

April 22, 2011

Re: ***OFFICIAL APRIL 2011 MOMMIES TO BE THREAD***

My cramps have pretty much stopped although I do get twinges that come and go. I've had very very light brown spotting (dr. said totally normal). I've had the occasional waves of nausea but nothing terrible. My boobs are fine although I just realized today that my nips have gotten huge Sorry for the TMI. Happy and healthy 9 months, girls!!!

Re: ***OFFICIAL APRIL 2011 MOMMIES TO BE THREAD***

I am an April Mommy to be!! April 2nd for me!!

Re: ***OFFICIAL APRIL 2011 MOMMIES TO BE THREAD***

You can add me too. April 18th

Re: ***OFFICIAL APRIL 2011 MOMMIES TO BE THREAD***

I'm in hiding, but I got my BFP about 2 weeks ago and I estimate I'm ~4 weeks pregnant. I'm still in shock over this! My EDD is mid-April, but my 1st Dr's appt is next week.

Sticky dust for all us!

Re: ***OFFICIAL APRIL 2011 MOMMIES TO BE THREAD***

how's everyone doing?? I don't have my appt for another 2 weeks!! I can't wait to tell our family!! So far, I keep forgetting I'm pregnant since I'm not even 6 weeks yet. I really don't have any symptoms except being tired. Knock on wood it stays that way!! This is my 2nd pregnancy..anyone else onto DC#2?!

Re: ***OFFICIAL APRIL 2011 MOMMIES TO BE THREAD***

So I went for my first appointment today. She changed my EDD to April 27th. Darn. I'd rather she move it up not back.

Anyway. I am feeling well overall. Still tired. And today I have been really crampy which makes me nervous. I know it is normal but I don't remember having it when I was pg with DC#1.

How is everyone else doing?

Re: ***OFFICIAL APRIL 2011 MOMMIES TO BE THREAD***

My tiredness has seemed to go away a little which is perfect timing to go back to work in a few weeks. Boobs are getting huge already and are pretty sore (just on the top! lol). I had some light light light spotting yesterday but that was it and according to the dr it was normal...t.g.! The hardest part for me has been figuring out what I can and cannot eat....I'm a flexitarian (mostly vegetarian but occassionally I'll eat chicken) so my diet is really limited to begin with. I'm learning day by day and freaking out each time I find out I ate something I wasn't suppose to! lol

Re: ***OFFICIAL APRIL 2011 MOMMIES TO BE THREAD***

I got my BFP a few days ago! I think I'm due around 4.28. I feel a little nauseous and tired. Unfortunately, I can't seem to sleep at night because I'm excited/anxious about everything. We don't have our first Dr's appointment until 9/7 when I'm 7 weeks.

We have only told my mom so far. I think we plan on telling his parents next week. We wanted to wait, but we think his brother is proposing in early September and we didn't want to steal their thunder. We will tell my dad around the same time too! I'm imagining that we'll tell our siblings pretty soon around then because it's unlikely our parents can keep that quiet about it.

I think we will wait until 12 weeks to tell everyone else except I am having a hard time keeping it in.

So excited to be joining this thread!
