I'm due October 1st---I'll be 9 weeks tomorrow and I am so anxious for the second trimester to get here. I have all-day nausea and exhaustion so severe I fall asleep while working, cooking, driving, etc. Scary. I'm also bloated as heck and feel like I'm gaining tons of weight already which is really not good. We have told close family and a few friends, but are saving the "general" announcement until after the first trimester. We are getting a nuchal translucency and I do want to make sure that all is well genetically, so that is a hurdle I'm dying to leap over with ease! 12 weeks can not come soon enough...this is my first and so I'm so not sure of what to expect and am terrified about possible miscarriage/problems.

Congrats to everyone and hope we all have safe and healthy pregnancies!

Hey, for all you soon to be new mommas out there!! Helpful hint!!

Sign up for your neighborhood freecycle (google it)... in the last two days I got a huge bag of NB baby cloths (sleepers, socks, onesies, ect), an expensive stroller (like new), and I'm about to pick up a large box of maternity cloths. I'm a total cheap skate, so the more money I save now then more crap I can buy for baby later!

YAYYY!!! I also get to be a member of this group =D
My baby is due October 19th, my birthday, so we're really excited!!
This is our first, so I'm wondering how far all of you have taken this... Are you already trying to figure out names? Have you thought about finding out the gender when you can?
The most pressing question I have though, especially after reading about all the mc's women have posted about on this site, is how afraid I should be right now? Because I had to wade through the red tape of getting an appointment through Army health care, my first appointment isn't until Friday and I'm both looking forward to and dredding it more and more. I don't know if I could handle a mc... reading about the strength with which other mothers have overcome it is so scary because I can't imagine a more horrible feeling. I don't want to be the downer here, I was just wondering about some of your feelings on the matter...
Thanks =)

I'm in! I got my bfp today.. Well not so fat lol but definitely positive! Crazy part is this is the same day I found out I was pregnant with my first :-) happy April fools day to us =) --

Congrats to you!! Welcome to the club!!! Have you an EDD??

I accidentally posted in here.. I'm December, whoops but most likely my dr won't let me past 37 wks do to diabetes n thyroid issues plus pre clampsia with previous pregnancy! Soooo I'll take November or December :-)

Hi all! My name is Lindsay. I am 8 weeks pregnant with my first baby. This baby is a bit of a miracle, as I'd said to myself, how sad it is that I'm going to be 30 on March 14, and that I have not yet experienced the joys of being a mother.

Well apparently, my body and mind wanted the same things. When I said to my hubby let's start trying for real now, I thought I'd be lucky enough to have things happen in the next year or so. Nope - first time's crazy luck :P

My baby is due in November (Nov. 9, 2010). I have this strange feeling that it will be a girl, and that's exactly what my dad said when he hugged me for the first time after he found out. On my mom's side of the family, there is an eery tradition that all of the first born's are girls with brown hair and hazel eyes. I hope the trend continues, but I'd be happy with a boy. Both myself and the daddy are brown-haired and hazel-eyed, so who knows?!

I'd really love to connect on here with others who have similar due dates. I had two buddies that I work with that were going to be expecting around the same time, but unfortunately both miscarried. I feel bad even talking to them about it, but I really feel like I want to chat to other women.

What a crazy, amazing process this is!!! For other first-timers, isn't it crazy that women have been doing this all our lives??? Isn't it insane that it seems like now is the first time I've actually noticed and respected the process.

Congratulations!! Looks like it was just meant to be!

I can definitely say I never realized how long 9 months can seem.. I'm only 11 weeks pregnant and I want to meet my baby now! haha!

i might as well post in here... I am due October 30! (according to my 1st u/s)

congrats to all and wishing you all a great pregnancy!!!!

My official due date is Oct 23, but they seem to be expecting a lot of complications. Doc says he will likely take the baby at 38 weeks, so at 19 weeks today, that puts me at my half way point.

I have a lot of 'issues', so doc and midwife are both warning me to be ready by the end of August. We are hoping to make it all the way through September, just keeping things positive!!
