Just dropping in to say the metallic taste has hit me. It’s terrible and makes everything I eat taste off. So that’s fun.

Just got our dating scan done. Saw one healthy baby so far and a good heartbeat. Saw a little movement but it turns out, my dates are about a week off. My EDD is now 10/20 instead of 10/13. Yay for a heartbeat!

Pregnant women should have people assigned to change their baby's diapers. Even with the zofran I got sick today after dd's diaper change.

Here is my magical garden AW. We still want to do a bunch more things. But we made a tiny raised bed for her flowers and seeds, have sticks painted white for them to paint all colorful, lots of garden tools hung, fairy garden pots, hop scotch path, and finally completed the slate wall for chalk and water painting!!! She loves it!  |

OMG - I think I felt baby this morning!!!! I had just woken up laying flat on my back. It wasn't a popping or a flutter or a swishing, but more like three squirming sensations right in a row up against the front of my abdomen. I've thought a number of times in the past week or more that maaaaybe I felt a swishing when laying still, reclined on the couch or in bed in the evenings, but it's always too fleeting and sudden to be sure. But unless I was still in a half dream state this morning (which I don't think was.... Haha!) then I'm pretty convinced this was really something!

I have such a dumb question related to dating scans and ovulation. 🤦♀️
So, I know for certain the day the deed was done because it was one time in like a month and a half. So that's obvious. But I was unsure the exact date of my period. So when I calculated based on conception date, I get a week earlier than the dating scan says. Baby did have good heart beat and looked fine. Sooooo, did I ovulate late and the one swimmer than managed to get away was just chilling up in there waiting for my egg for a few days?? I feel like I remember being kind of a late ovulater when I was tracking while TTC with my ExH but that was so long ago. Or can dating scans be a few days off? Lol! I feel so dumb asking all this but I hate how the dates arent really matching. Or could it be that baby is lacking in growth or something?

Sperm can live for a few days so it's very possible the sperm was already chilling up in your tube when you ovulated. The number of days for implantation to occur can also vary. Between the 2 you could easily make up a week's worth of time causing the difference between the conception based due date and the dating scan. |

So using the date you had intercourse can give you a good estimate of due date, but it's unlikely to be precise since there's still a window of time for things to take place. There's so much magic that all has to happen in there! I wouldn't worry about the dates not lining up 😊 |

The only people who will know an exact conception date are those who are doing In Vitro or possibly IUI. For people doing it the old fashioned way, it can be up to a week after you do the deed, depending on when you ovulate and how long it takes for it to fertilize/implant.
The calculator I used based on LMP said my conception date was 5 days after we did it.

Hope all goes well today akwild! I've been trying to think of what other types of threads we had on my last BMB. Thoughts on adding a weekly appointment thread? Or do we just want to keep the appointment chat in the weekly check-in/randoms like we have been? |

Or do we just want to keep the appointment chat in the weekly check-in/randoms like we have been? I think that as our pregnancies progress we'll naturally come into a lot more topics. Gear and nurseries and names and birth plans and hospital bags and postpartum necessities, etc, etc, etc!! |

I feel like you guys talked about this weeks ago but we've had a few other people join including myself.
Almost all of us are STM/TTM, so what are you doing differently this time around?
I feel like I was more so "by the book" about certain things last time.

I think the biggest things I'm hoping to do differently are to worry and obsess less, and to take better care of MYSELF in the early postpartum weeks. I'm also simply hoping to survive..... I'm trying to set my expectations real, real low! |

We just got home from our appointment. We saw a nice little baby with a strong heartbeat. My LMP put us at 8 weeks today by my OB measured at 8w4d. So she said that’s the date we will go with. I get lab work and the harmony test in 2 weeks and another appointment in 4.

I feel like I was more so "by the book" about certain things last time. I'm not resting as much, which sucks. And I'm definitely more chill about things in general, because I've been through all this stuff already, so I'm not asking about/researching every symptom. This pregnancy is so far exactly like my first one, so I'm just biding my time and trying to do the stuff I did before to help the morning sickness. |

It’s probably way too soon for UOs and FFFCs 😈 But those are my fav. |
