Re: BOTB
1st trimester: When did you have your first ultrasound? Did they change your due date as a result of an early u/s? I had our first ultrasound at about 7 weeks. The following ultrasounds have pretty much set our date, so I haven't had to move anything around too much.
2nd trimester: If you?ve chosen nursery d?cor, what did you decide on? We're in the process right now, but I think we might go for a ladybug theme. Most of the bedding I've found is too pink for my taste. I would love to do a nursery without so much of a theme, but...
BTW: Celyn, can you add our name? Baby is a girl and her name is Scarlett Leigh. Thanks!

1st trimester: When did you have your first ultrasound? Did they change your due date as a result of an early u/s? My first ultrasound was during the fifth week and my date was changed because I ovulated later than a normal cycle and LO measured 2.5 weeks behind the due date based on my LMP.
2nd trimester: If you?ve chosen nursery d?cor, what did you decide on? We have yet to start shopping and registering for anything baby related. We are waiting until after the holidays when life calms down a bit. Since we are team green, we will be choosing decor that is neutral.
Updates: I have finally been feeling some fluttering movements that are definitely baby. It is so exciting but weird at the same time.
1st trimester: When did you have your first ultrasound? Did they change your due date as a result of an early u/s? We had our first ulrasound at about 7 weeks and then another at 12 weeks. They never changed my due date.
2nd trimester: If you?ve chosen nursery d?cor, what did you decide on? We chose PBK's Junior Varsity bedding so I guess sports is the theme.
3rd trimester: Have you had a prenatal massage? If not, go out and treat yourself, they?re wonderful
I did have a massage awhile back, but the place didn't have one of the tables with the belly holes. While it was nice, I think I will find a place with the table for next time.
Updates: LO is still breech. We are going in for a version on Saturday morning. We still aren't sure we'll go through with it, but we'll give it a shot if the doc thinks there's a good chance. If it does't work, we'll be meeting our son next Saturday the 18th!
1st trimester: When did you have your first ultrasound? Did they change your due date as a result of an early u/s? At 7 weeks. And then again at 15? No, they didn't. My doctor said they won't change it unless it is over 10 days discrepancy. As of now, our due date is June 6, but the baby is farther along (or uber long) than June 6 predicts.
2nd trimester: If you?ve chosen nursery d?cor, what did you decide on? We are doing a modern bird theme, but nothing too over the top.
TTC: Did anyone TTC while nighttime nursing? Did you still try to chart, whether with temps or just cervical data? N/A
1st trimester: When did you have your first ultrasound? Did they change your due date as a result of an early u/s? My first was at 6 weeks to confirm the pregnancy at the REI clinic. At my anatomy scan (19 weeks) they officially changed my due date, but only by 2 days.
2nd trimester: If you?ve chosen nursery d?cor, what did you decide on? Currently working on that- the walls are pale purple and I like pink, but can't find anything I love at BBB or Target, where we're registered. I'm still looking, there are just a lot of options.
3rd trimester: Have you had a prenatal massage? If not, go out and treat yourself, they?re wonderful
I'm now in the 3rd trimester and am hoping for gift certificates for Christmas for massages!!
L&D: Did you experience the chills, shaking, nausea or vomiting associated with hormonal surges while in active labor? Did it scare you? Um... yikes...??
Updates: On Friday I was told that I failed my 1-hour glucose test and I'm slightly anemic. I have the 3-hour glucose test on the 19th and have to start taking iron. I've just reintroduced beef to my diet (after going 2.5 years without) for the iron and that is very odd!

L&D: Did you experience the chills, shaking, nausea or vomiting associated with hormonal surges while in active labor? Did it scare you? It wasn't too bad during L&D, I do remember being cold an awful lot. However, afterward...holy sh!t...I can't count how many times I puked between the operating room and my actual pp room. Shaking, teeth chattering, nauseous every time they moved the gurney...it sucked. The hormonal "let down" per se was cra-azy. Didn't scare me so much, just sucked because I was trying to do skin to skin and they kept having to move baby so I could puke...and puking just after abdominal surgery = not so fun.
My first BOTB post, yay! (I'm not a newbie to the board, but mostly lurk since I don't get to post often)
1st trimester: When did you have your first ultrasound? Did they change your due date as a result of an early u/s? First ultrasound at 6 weeks. Due date was established as 4/22/11. Based on date of conception, it is 4/18/11 - very close. I also had ultrasounds at 13 weeks (NST) and 20 weeks (anatomy), both measuring me with due dates 4/19 and 4/17 respectively. The more recent ultrasounds seem more accurate since I know date of conception without a doubt and (TMI) I believe sperm can only live 72 hours, making the 4/22 due date impossible. They won't change my due date unless it is 10+ days off, which is fine with me.
2nd trimester: If you?ve chosen nursery d?cor, what did you decide on? My design inspiration: http://designdazzle.blogspot.com/2010/08/baby-nursery-silver-sage-paint-color.html. DH and I will be picking paint colors this weekend!
3rd trimester: Have you had a prenatal massage? If not, go out and treat yourself, they?re wonderful
N/A yet, but very much looking forward to them!
L&D: Did you experience the chills, shaking, nausea or vomiting associated with hormonal surges while in active labor? Did it scare you? N/A
First days: Did you experience PPD? Did you do anything for it? If so, what? N/A
Updates: Not really an update, since this is my first post... but found out last week that the baby is a girl! DH and I had no preference, but we're still excited!
1st trimester: When did you have your first ultrasound? Did they change your due date as a result of an early u/s? - I had my first u/s at 8w2d which is when we discovered that it was twins. At my NT scan (12w2d) and my anatomy scan (20w2d) both babies measured ahead but my due date hasn't been changed yet.
2nd trimester: If you?ve chosen nursery d?cor, what did you decide on? - We'll be doing a jungle/safari theme. One side will be girly and the other more neutral/boyish. I was able to find a brand that has coordinating bedding so that's what we're doing.
3rd trimester: Have you had a prenatal massage? If not, go out and treat yourself, they?re wonderful
- N/A but I'm hoping to possibly have one with this pregnancy
L&D: Did you experience the chills, shaking, nausea or vomiting associated with hormonal surges while in active labor? Did it scare you? - With C I definitely had the chills and shakes. I had forgotten about them telling us about that part during our classes so it did take me a bit off guard but my nurse was great explaining it and getting me more blankets to keep me comfortable.
First days: Did you experience PPD? Did you do anything for it? If so, what? - I didn't have it with C. Hoping to avoid it with these two as well.
Updates: You've already got the sexes/names of our babies in there, so nothing else new.

1st trimester: First u/s was at 6w. Due date was not changed, because it was on par with the timing for all the procedures.
2nd trimester: S2 moved into the nursery which was already decorated. I changed out the photos and name though. The theme is green/brown. Pics are here (although these are for the G setup): http://www.flickr.com/photos/avalikelava/sets/72157606517878862/
3rd trimester: Yes, those are heavenly!
L&D: Chills, no; shaking, no; vomiting: OH YES! Projectile. Ended up on the wall across the room. And DH slipped and fell in it flat on his back. If I wasn't high from the pain, and DH stressed out, it woulda been comedy.
First days: I got baby blues with G, all when my stomach seemed to deflate overnight. I was really sad that that was to be my only pregnancy and I missed it already. I didn't feel any sadness after S2.

1st trimester: When did you have your first ultrasound? Did they change your due date as a result of an early u/s? My first was at the 8 week appointment. The due date stayed the same which surprised me, I thought they would move it farther out.
2nd trimester: If you?ve chosen nursery d?cor, what did you decide on? I'm dreading this. I saw bed sets that I liked before getting pregnant, but now I haven't and I'm really torn on what I want to do. I'm hoping some inspiration will kick in after the first of the year when I'm a little further in to the second tri.
1st trimester: When did you have your first ultrasound? Did they change your due date as a result of an early u/s? Had my first u/s at 7 weeks due to spotting and was measuring right on track. I have continued to measure right on track and my EDD was never changed
2nd trimester: If you?ve chosen nursery d?cor, what did you decide on?Owl theme, with the Haley bedding from PBK, but it was tough to find bedding we loved that wasn't too girly for us
3rd trimester: Have you had a prenatal massage? If not, go out and treat yourself, they?re wonderful
I had one months ago and need another, badly.. just haven't found the time to schedule one
