Me! I've mostly been a lurker here but used to participate in the last board.
I'm due 9/7. This will be my third and no heartburn here but the nausea has already begun.

I had nausea at the get go which is why I tested early. I always get smacked with symptoms as soon as the first drop of HCG hits my blood, then they die down after a few days before picking up up around 5-7 weeks. I either was getting the stomach bug my girls had or was pregnant and when I never started puking I tested and got a faint line. I'm mostly just exhausted and moody right now. This is pregnancy number four, baby number three for me as well. |

Heyyy. I'm here. Got a faint line last night the day before AF is due and got a stronger line this AM, which is the earliest I've ever gotten a +. Due date calculator says 9/10. This will be my 5th pregnancy. I have an 18 month old DS who is amazing and 3 angels. I lost the last just in October so I'm freaking out a bit, but trying to stay optimistic.
I'm going to be starting with aspirin, lovenox, and progesterone ASAP and going in for early ultrasounds and hormone checks. I'm excited to see baby early.
I was going to wait until tomorrow to test, but I had some right sided sharp pains and then yesterday I was queasy all day so I picked up a test for shits and giggles.

I always forget how wild pregnancy cravings can be. Also, I'm having a lot of symptoms that I normally don't get for another few weeks so that's interesting.
I said to my bff that maybe it's twins and that's why I feel like things are happening faster 😂

Twins would delight my husband. I'd probably die a little. |

Yes, I'm having cravings already, but nothing too weird or like, meltdown worthy if I don't get it. Not yet at least. I've outright sobbed over cravings in previous pregnancies. I got my first faint line at 8dpo, so yes to faint positives! |

I got my first faint line at 8dpo, so yes to faint positives! That's so funny because my husband has been joking I'm having twins because the nausea is so early this time. I think it started at 6-7 weeks with my last two. I would also not be thrilled because daycare is hella expensive here, and we couldn't afford my 3 year old plus two infants in daycare. And I don't think I would be a good stay at home mom. |

If I wound up with twins I'd probably try to convince my mom to stay with us at least through the winter lol. My folks currently live in Florida and are planning on going full time in their motorhome when they retire at the end of the summer. And my in laws live 2 hours from us but don't speak English and have health issues.
Otherwise I think I'd be okay with twins. I already went to part time at my work after DS was born and was planning on cutting my hours even more. Twins I'd probably just be a SAHM for a few years.

We can't afford for one of us to stay home and we definitely can't afford three in DC. My mom used to watch the girls four days a week and my MIL the fifth before we moved this past summer. We'd be SOL with twins since we're two hours away now.
The likelihood of me having twins is basically ziltch. I got a BFP with DD2 at 8dpo as well so I don't think the early BFP means much. I'm not worried about it. Hopefully I don't eat those words lol.

Yeah, I'm pretty lucky here. We get $490 a month atm for DS, and would get similar for any other children we have, until they're 5. We also live in a relatively low cost of living province

Poking my foot in. BFP yesterday and today so I think I go here now.
EDD is 9/12. This is my fifth pregnancy and will be my (Fingers crossed) third take home baby. We had back to back losses including one very late loss. So I have no idea what to expect out of my emotions this go around.
So far I feel fine. I get pretty bad sickness weeks 6-16 usually. Not looking forward to that again!

The exhaustion is real. We worked hard yesterday setting up DSs bedroom and I feel like I haven't had any energy at all today.

Welcome donnameagle! I'm getting over a mild three day stomach bug. I wasn't sure for a while if the mild diarrhea was pregnancy related, but I finally feel better today so I think it was a bug. I had to start the morning routine of running right for the crackers this morning. |
