I definitely feel like my stomach skin is being stretched to its limits. My belly button area seems like it could just rip wide open at any moment. I do not like this feeling.

Welp, I go here now. Positive test this morning at 10 DPO. We go on vacation on Thursday for a week and we'll see both of our families. I guess we'll announce then since we only see them in person a few times a year, but man, I'll only be literally days pregnant. Now I get to go through the terrible anxiety about the early weeks while on vacation... trying to remain positive! (Is it working? I don't think it's working.)

teraiin super cute! I wish we had done an announcement but pgal brain was too much for me. @easilyunamused you are so close!! I felt that way after dinner the other night. I was 50% convinced my belly was just going to explode open. I need to not eat so much these days! How long do you have for ten kicks when doing kick counts? I thought it was 10 in an hour but now I'm reading online it says ten in 2 hours? He's been quiet since I woke up at 11 (holy crap I slept in) and only hit 8 in an hour after drinking a glass of ice water and laying on my left side. I'm spiraling and panicking. I asked H to bring me a chocolate bar home to try to kick start him with some sugar... We finally built the nursery furniture and set the room up this weekend. Now we just have to put everything away. It's such a disaster right now. Everything is in the living room or hallway instead of boxed up in his room! But I'm laying on the couch doing kick counts instead. ☹️

Two sets of booties?! Twins?! Did I know this?! Haha at least I noticed!!

@teriian, sneaky sneaky! 😂 addymac I never do count kicks for that reason. Stresses me out too much. I'll poke him a bit and push around on my stomach to get him moving. Do you have juice?

No juice but DH brought home a chocolate bar so I ate half of it and am eating lunch and I felt two more kicks... so 10 in less than 2 hours! I'm going to have dessert now and eat a KitKat 😄 I should just have a constant supply of chocolate bars for "kick counts".... hehe

LO has been kicking me all damn day. Most of the time I love it, but I'm not in the best mood and am starting to get annoyed with it on top of everything else.

So DH came home from work this afternoon and said he didn't feel good and needed to lie down. This guy will have a fever/awful cold/whatever and ignore it and just go about his day anyway- he does not succumb to the mancold and RARELY naps. He's been asleep for almost two hours. He must feel AWFUL. I feel badly for him. And I want to stay away. Poor guy.

But then he got truly sick this spring when I was gone and refused to take care of himself. 😬 at least he did recover though.

I can't math, but you'd be due in March right? Post over there with us also!

I'm having light spotting so can't help but worrying a bit. (I'm only 5 1/2 weeksonly) It's not red so I'll just wait and see, but I wonder if I've been overdoing it. I rested all day yesterday tho... When googling I read that resting does not help prevent miscarriage so I'm kinda 😶 there goes my excuse to lay around all evening. I'm not that scared unless unless it gets worse, but feel free to tell me about how you had random spotting and it turned out fine. 😊

Spotting for no reason at all is super common, so just keep an eye on it. When's you're first dr appt?

I haven't made one yet because I'm waiting on DH's schedule but when I called them to see when they did first appt they said after 8 weeks. If it keeps on for several days I'll call and see if they'll see me right away.

I'm not that scared unless unless it gets worse, but feel free to tell me about how you had random spotting and it turned out fine. 😊 Echoing PP that spotting is super common. I had about 3 instances between 4-6 weeks of pregnancy, one of which was red and kinda scary looking but turned out to be nothing. Spotting is totally common and usually nothing to worry about unless it's accompanied by severe cramping. If laying around all evening will help you feel better physically/mentally, go ahead and do it! 1st tri is exhausting, let yourself rest I will say personally any spotting I have going forward will need to be closely monitored because I am Rh negative and my H is positive. If I spot again, I'm to call the doctor immediately for a sono and a rhogam shot. If I don't spot anymore, I get the shot at 28 weeks regardless (I'm 18w now). It sounds kinda scary, but now that I've done my research on it I'm not super worried.

I will also add the explanation I got from my RE is that where the baby implants is very vascular, so when the uterus starts to expand as the baby grows it can break some blood vessels. Most of the time the blood is reabsorbed into the body but sometimes it doesn't and finds its way out.
Hope it helps - it certainly helped me feel better when I was going through it.

That makes sense. I'd heard it explained before but couldn't remember.
