I'm mostly symptomless still. I occasionally have adversions to the idea of certain foods, and I'm tired, but that's nothing new. It makes me nervous.
My first appointment isn't until Oct 7th. I'll be 11 weeks. Luckily our September calendar is packed with travel, parties, and fundraisers to pass the time. I just want to know things are ok in there, and to tell people!

I'm honestly feeling pretty terrible most days. Nauseated, exhausted, short of breath, and dizzy. I'm also super nervous that everything is going okay in there and wish I had a window that I could open and check. I have an appointment with the high risk doctor next week and an appointment with my family doctor the week after. I'm not seeing the OB until October. I'm going to request an early ultrasound just to make sure that everything is progressing well. So far I've told my best friend and 2 coworkers (because I almost passed out at work the other day so I figured I might need some people who know). My folks are on the road coming up and will be here this weekend and I'm so excited!

I've been so tempted to call to see if I could get in earlier, but then I tell myself to calm down and be patient.
H has a conference in Boston next week so I'm flying out the last day and we'll make a long weekend of it. I'm so excited for an adult trip!
Then the week after we're throwing a 60th surprise party for my mom, so that will keep me busy too.
October will be here before we know it!

I’m farther along, but I don’t have BMB and I want one. My nausea has mostly passed, but I’m still nauseous in the morning. Some heartburn. Nothing awful anymore. I still take unisom and B6 or I wake up vomiting. linny, I’m also looking forward to October as that’s when my 20 week Appt is! I’m excited to see baby and hoping all is OK!

People are commenting on my weightloss. I've been really committed to the BBM challenges on GD since April. I feel like because of that people are paying more attention to my body, which is not great for hiding things for another 4 weeks.
I do bloat up in the evenings. It's crazy the difference between morning and evening.

I'm getting so anxious to share it with everyone lol I so want to tell my mom but I want to make it through my first appointment first. If I were feeling really sick I'm sure I would have already caved, but since I'm mostly ok I've kept quiet. I think I'll have our girls tell, when the time comes. My 4 year old is going to be so excited.

Remember how 2 days ago I said I had no symptoms? That's no longer the case. Living on ginger ale and saltines this evening.

My mom is wanting to book our rooms for our annual trip to Florida in March. I just called my OB to see if I could travel that far along and he said no. I'm bummed, and now trying to come up with a reason we can't go. I might end up just telling her.

It did 😊 my family doctor had ordered some blood testing which I did last week. The high risk doctor checked and noticed that my thyroid levels are a little low, which I guess sometimes happens in early pregnancy, so I'm going to take synthroid for about 6 weeks and then test again. He also sent in a request for an ultrasound and I'll probably go next week. I also called and made an appointment at the OB clinic today and I go in October 1, which is a little early, but they'd like to see me because of my history.

I've lost 4 lbs as of this morning because of nausea, loss of appetite, and feeling full after a couple of bites. Oy

Had my ultrasound this morning and... I'm not sure how to feel. I was estimating around 8 weeks from LMP but baby is measuring 6w2d. There was a heartbeat of about 120. I remember DS measuring small, but never that small. I'm assuming that I'll get a call from the doctor later today or tomorrow letting me know that I'm going to have another ultrasound next week.

I don’t know if this helps, but I was measuring behind with my first. I ovulate late and wasn’t tracking. Hopefully just a late ovulation!

I was actually looking at the app I use to track my periods and noticed that my LMP was longer than usual, and I had spotting afterwards too. So I'm hoping it's a combo of late O/implantation and small baby. I'm going to see my family doctor tomorrow for something else so I'll see what he has to say, and then give a ring to the high risk doctor if I haven't heard from him by then.

I never O on day 14, even when doing medicated cycles. Hopefully it's just a late O situation. Try focusing on that great heartbeat. I'm sorry that you're feeling unsure. First tri is so hard.
I actually kind of hate the going off LMP thing. Even with knowing my ovulation day was nearly a week later than the standard day 14 (It was a medicated, monitored cycle), my OB still used LMP and then every measurement I was a week off and even had to schedule an induction before my actual due date, with my first. She came on her own at exactly 40 weeks per O, or a week late per LMP.
