Q: I am at 4 weeks and 4 days pregnant, 18dpo, due date is April 16th! Anyone else have similar dates?

Hello! I am 4 and a half weeks pregnant and my due date is April 16th. I am also at 18dpo. Anyone else with similar dates want to be friends here? I like to talk and learn a lot about pregnancy, I am in the middle of getting my doula certification, so I am trying to read as much as possible!

This is my second pregnancy, I have a daughter who is almost two. My husband is 31, we have been married for over two years lol. Even if you do not have similar dates as me regarding pregnancy, I would love to chat and be friends! Thanks, God bless and good luck to everyone!

I am so nauseated and tired every day all day long! Anyone else? Have you done anything that helps with feeling tired and queasy? I am taking zofran and it keeps me from throwing up, but not from feeling sick. Yesterday I felt more tired that I have ever been in my life!

I have shared our good news with close friends and family, and expect a lot more friends and family will find out when we go to my nephew's first bday party this Saturday! I posted our 12 week ultrasound picture of our daughter on facebook during my first pregnancy, so I will probably wait until my next ultrasound to post to facebook, which will be in September.

I have been so so nauseous the past few days! But I have not thrown up yet, maybe because I started taking zofran when I feel really sick. My doctor gave me zofran early because I had terrible hyperemesis during my first pregnancy. Anyone else feeling sick yet? If so, I feel your pain! I can not stand any cooked food, just the thought turns my stomach!

Hi ladies, it's great to find a forum with ladies due around the same tim as I am! I'm 5 wks 5 days & my EDD is April 20th 2013. I'm a mom of 2 boys & my husband & I are just as excited this time around as we were previously. As far as symptoms go, I've been urinating a lot, started having vivid dreams, some cramping & heartburn on a couple occasions.

When are you ladies planning to share your good news with the rest of the world -12wks or before?

Hi everyone! How are you all doing? I am doing well, my symptoms have been accelerating, I heard that women who breastfeed already have higher hormone amounts and that this pregnancy shot my hormone numbers through the roof! So that explained the pink discharge the other day, fingers crossed!. I am a lot more sluggish and I am starting to have stomach problems and queasy feelings. Sometimes I have painful twinges in my breasts and my energy is much lower. I saw a doctor finally yesterday at 11am and they did an ultrasound at 5 weeks and one day! You can see the little sesame seed in the picture, a baby dot! I had severe anxiety and postpartum depression with my last pregnancy, and unfortunately my anxiety is coming back much earlier this time. But I have so much to be happy about, and hopefully my daughter will keep me so busy I won't have time for anxiety! It is great to hear from everyone, I hope you are all well!

Hey there, I am 6 weeks along due April 6th. This is our first baby and we are super excited.
I have had a couple of normal symptoms. the one that sicks out the most is the cramping. I pretty much began cramping right after we conceived and haven't stopped..lol I'm even experiencing cramping just on one side. my NP says it's totally normal. As long as i am not doubled over in pain and bleeding, i have nothing to worry about. i am also experiencing breast tenderness and swelling, frequent urniation (more so within this last week), extremely tired, sensative to strong smells, and slight mood swings..lol. As far as I can tell, these are all normal healthy signs that our little one is doing well and growing quickly.

I have been married to my AMAZING husband for almost 3 years. We have the BEST relationship and are super excited about being parents.


Looking forward to being on this journey with you ladies

hi ladies! I'm so glad I found this post. I;ve been looking for people with roughly the same due date but so far they haven't been active on the forum. Baby is due April 13th so I am 5 weeks 2 days today. I have been experiencing queasiness throughout the day but only had vomiting one night so far. My breasts have been tender and I'm also constipated. Headaches come and go and I find that I am more irritable. I'm an RN so working 12 hour nights have been harder. I find I get tired more than I used to. Surprisingly though, I find that my appetite has decreased. I also got a UTI early on before I found out I was pregnant and I attributed all the nausea to the Macrobid that they put me on.

I'm 27 and DH is 30. It's our 4th cycle of TTC baby #1. It was a pleasant surprise when I tested on cycle day 27 when AF didn't show (I usually always get it on that day) and it was a BFP! I tested again the next day with a digital and it said "Pregnant 2-3 weeks" My first OB appt is on Thu

Hi all!

Due Aprill 11th here! While I am just over 5weeks and I have not yet experienced morning sickness (fingers crossed) I have the worst constipation EVER! I am doing everything to beat it. Today alone I had 3 full cups of prune juice and 1 full cup of beans!!!! It's going to be a LONG 9 months!

Aside from trying to fix the above complaint things are progressing smoothly. We haven't yet told anyone so things are still pretty relaxed here! I have yet to see the doctor, but have a few days off this week so hope to finally get in!!

Summer

Hi, I am so glad you all responded! I also have a lot of fears with this pregnancy, just this morning I discovered pink tinged discharge and I am freaking out a bit. This day is going to go so slowly because my first doctors appointment is tomorrow at 2pm! I have also had symptoms come and go day by day, yesterday I felt very pregnant, lots of pressure when I would bend over to clean up. Plus that feeling that makes your body feel heavy and weak, like fatigue, but different.

Overall, I have had some very light cramping and pressure in my uterus. I have felt twinges of pain in my breasts, have had a majorly huge appetite, vivid dreams, I get too warm easily like a hot flash, and I no longer crave or want any sweets or chocolate which happened in my last pregnancy. I have a 22 month old daughter here with me, but I am trying to take it easy on myself today due to a sleepless night and the blood tinted discharge. No cleaning today! I want another baby girl, but would adore a boy!
