[shasy03]

Welcome to the MedHelp Pregnancy July 2011 forum!!!!  I am excited to get the chance to be your new CL!  I will be here every step of the way to help and give assistance where I can!  I hope that we have a great experience together and in just a short time we are holding our babies tight as ever!  

I want to start off with people introducing yourselves.  It's nice to know the people who are close with us in our journey and a little bit about them!  Please know that if you need anything you may contact me and I will get back with you.  I'm normally around the computer most of the day (my job is pretty easy most of the time).  

So to start let us know when you are do and share any other information about your journey to where you are now, if you want!  



Congrats and I hope that everyone has a happy healthy nine months!!!

Hi all. I'm Shannon, 37 years old and this is my 2nd pregnancy. I have a beautiful, healthy DS who is 11 months old. I am pg with twins and due July 27. Me and my DH will have 3 under 2 - yikes! But me and my DH wanted our kids close in age so we are thrilled. We have had 4 u/s and so far, so good - we have seen the h/b's every time. I had all-day nausea for weeks, but it finally seems to be getting better. It hasn't been lasting all day the past few days. Besides that I'm exhausted. It's all worth it in the end. I wish everyone a happy and healthy 9 months!

Hi, I'm Britni. I will be 7 weeks tomorrow, i'm guessing! I skipped a period in october (pretty sure) so I'm just going off of my conception date, which is also an estimate! I'm guessing an Aug 4 due date, but will know for sure in one week, my first ob appt/us is Dec 22! It can't get here fast enough! We'll see if I'm right or if I'm a different date! just praying everything is ok, this wait is worse than the 2ww in my opinion!!! this will be our second, I have one little girl who is 13.5 months! :) heres to a happy and healthy 9 months to everyone!

Well, I am 24 years old and currently preggers with my third.  I have a daughter who is 5 and a son who is 3.  I had very easy pregnancies with my first two.  This one has definatley been the exception.  I have been sick just about every day.  I have my first OB appointment this friday Dec. 3.  I am not used to all of the abbreviations I have seen used in the forum.  Hopefully I will catch on.

Hi Ladies!

A bit about myself.....I'm 36 and have the greastest little boy in the world with Down Syndrome.  He just turned 6 months old and I just found out I'm pregnant :)  Due date July 31 :)  I'm considered high risk for a few reasons.  My first pregnancy was in 2008 and I lost my little boy at 6 1/2 months.  I got pregnant again and it turned out to be a blighted ovum.  My 3rd pregnancy I had my gorgeious little Vaun.  Fingers crossed for this one!

Everyone take care :)

From now on his/her nickname will be smudge because that is what they looked like on the screen and in the pics! I am 6w5d today and little smudge was measuring in at 7weeks and 1cm long!!!! I am over the moon (yet still cautious)

Hello!  My name is Jennifer & this is my 8th pregnancy.  I have 3 children, 16, 14 & 8.  I just found out that we are preg again & had my first beta done on Tuesday.  It came back @ 1000 & progesterone was 12.6.  Thinking the beta may be a little on the low side but I go back on Tuesday for a repeat draw & another u/s.

[BabyAnderson]

Hi everbody, My 2ww is finally over. I cried my self to sleep last night because I took a HPT yesterday morning and it was negative. I couldnt believe it. I went in for my Beta this morning and the nurse asked if I took a HPT this morning and I said no because I took one yesterday and it was negative. I didnt want to take one in the morning because I had to go in to work and was in a mtg all day. Anyways she made me take one in her office and it was a  I couldnt believe it. I am soooo excited. My beta was 70.. I am hoping and praying that it doubles when I go back on Thursday...If all goes well I would be due July 25th!!

I am 5w6d along and due on the 13 of July 2011. This is my third pg, I have a 17month old daughter and had one m/c. I lost the first after 10w I had cramping and bleeding early on. With my girl everything went great no cramps or bleeding at all just really bad morning sickness.

Now I just took a pgt on Friday that was positive, but other then headaches, mood swings, and being really tired, I have no symptoms. I've been havin cramps on and off for over a week now(before I thought it was my period coming) but no bleeding. I dont have any morning sickness and that worries me abit. I have yet to make an appt with my doc. Hopefully all goes well:) All I can do is stay positive and hope for the best!

Congrats to everyone!

Hello ladies and hi Tash!!!  I thought I'd join the July 2011 group!  I found out on November 8th (9dpo) that I am pregnant!  I had an IUD removed (after 3 yrs) on Aug. 18th - so I was very lucky to get pregnant so quickly!  This is my 2nd pregnancy.  We have a 3 yr old son.  So nice to meet all you ladies and hear your stories of your journeys to conceiving! I go see my Midwife this coming Wednesday for my first appointment!  

Happy 9 Months to you all!

[tash1975]

Hi everyone. This is my 4th pregnancy - I have a 5 year old and a 4 year old and had one m/c between them. I had a mirena IUD removed August 23rd, 2010 had 1st AF on Sept 5th, 2nd AF on Oct 3rd and then got my BFP 1/Nov/10 at 10 dpo ( very very faint positive). Pee'd on a stick again at 11 dpo, 13 dpo and 15 dpo also and the line got a little darker each time which made me happy! Pregnancy confirmed with Bl test this week. Due July 15th, 2011. So far feeling really super tired and sore sensitiive boobs. Occasionally I feel a bit off coloured this week but no bad morning sickness yet which I suffered with both my kids ( but not the m/c). I am 5 weeks tomorrow so there's a long way to go!

I am really happy/ excited but completely petrified and nervous at the same time. My midwife does not do betas till 6/7 weeks and will have an untrasound around 7/8 weeks to check heartbeat etc and check there is only 1 ( yikes!)

Hope you all have a great 9 mths!!

[krichar]

Just got my 1st beta results!!! i was 15dp3dt and 13dp5dt (so technically 18dpo) and my beta was 1069!!! I go again on Friday to see how they are rising!

[tones99]

Just to update. Got another beta and my levels had gone from 293 5 days ago to 1470!  I'm cautiously happy hoping that I'm back in the race

[hopefullyagain]

Hi, so I've taken two pregnancy tests so far (4 days apart) and they both say "pregnant"! I'm thinking I'm around 4 weeks and 3 days at this point. We have a smart/wonderful/handsome 5 year old son. My husband and I have been TTC for over a year now; we got pregnant but had a m/c in August of this year at 9 weeks, found out at the first OB visit at 9 weeks. This will be my third pregnancy and we are hoping/praying for this pregnancy/baby to be as healthy as our first.

Congratulations to all!

To Kelliebubba, I am right there with you on the half scared half anticipation! I have to keep talking myself out of going crazy! Good luck to all!!!

[kimbler]
