I went to the doctor on the 19th to confirm that I'm pregnant for the first time! I'm currently projected for April 15th. I am a bit anxious though; I don't have my first pre-natal appointment until September 15th! Since this is my first, I have a lot of questions I really want ask. I know there's tons of info on the web, but it always helps calm the nerves to talk to a doctor.

My first appointment is Sept 4 so next week!! But I went to the doctor to confirm it Aug 4 so it's been a long wait!

Rou- I told my parents that I was pregnant when I was on vacation as well. I knew that I would never be able to keep it a secret if we were sharing a house for a week. I bought my son a T-shirt that said "I'm going to be a big brother" and bad my mom get him dressed. She literally fell on the floor. My dad thought that I was joking. Once they got over the shock though, I was glad I told them that way.

Not much to update on me. I go back to the doctor Sept. 10th for just a routing check up but they said at that point they should be able to hear the heartbeat with the Doppler machine so I'm excited about that. I still have those headaches, but the doctor said that it was normal and for me not to cut all of my caffeine out. The nausea is lessening more and more but I am still exhausted! Hope everyone has a good week!

Hey, all--congrats to everyone! My (tentative) due date is April 29th, although my first appointment is Sept. 17th. I'm a little nervous because I've been having "spotting" a little this week... Not to be TMI girl, but we've had sex three times this week, and the day after each time, there will be a point when I go to the bathroom and I'll see a little deep red/brown blood when I wipe. I've read that that can happen after sex, and that 30-40% of women will have a little bleeding, but this is my first pregnancy and I don't know if I should be worried or not. Of course, it's a Saturday, so now that I want to ask a doctor about it, everything's closed (unless I want to go to the emergency room, and I don't think the situation warrants that). I called the "nurse hotline" through my health insurance plan, and they told me to wait until Monday and call my doctor! And of course, I have to go back to school (I teach) on Monday, which means it'll be trickier for me to get in to see someone because I'll actually be, you know, working. Grr!! Has anyone else had this experience? Should I be worried?
