Week 6: Sweet Pea

Posted Monday, July 09, 2007 3:18 PM


Growing like crazy, baby is starting to sprout eyes, ears, nose, cheeks and chin. Those little hands and feet- still webbed like paddles- might wiggle by week's end, the heart is beating (almost twice as fast as yours!), and blood is starting to circulate.

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

We had our first OB appointment this morning. We are at 6 weeks and 5 days. How overwhelming!! I can't believe I'm gonna be a mom. Hearing the heartbeat was the most emotional part of the journey. I'm very excited!!!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

Just as expected, started my morning sickness right on the first day of the 6th week. Blah! We had a very eventful day telling the family yesterday though. It was so fun to see their excitement! First appointment is April 9th. We can't wait!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

Still no morning sickness.  My results from my initial dr visit came back normal.  I guess that's good.  My first ultrasound is in 2 weeks.  I can't wait to see our little creation!  I'm not looking forward to the next dr appt though :(

WEEK 6 TOMORROW!!!! Yeahhh! We actually had our first ultrasound on wednesday and all the little "sweet pea" looks like is a heartbeat! IT WAS AMAZING!!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

Can't believe it is so small!  I am still feeling fine, no morning sickness or anything.  My friends keep saying it may hit me in the next couple weeks.  I am hoping they are wrong.  We have our first DR. appt on the 26!! We can't wait!!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

It's so exciting!!! Can't wait to see his heart beating, I am going for my first ultrasound on the 4th of April. My hubby and I are just ecstatic. I feel great so far (knock on wood!!!) and all I can think about is our little sweet pea.

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

WOOHOO!  I am going to be a mom!  We are 6 weeks 2 days today.  Our first prenatal visit is on the 22nd of July.  What happens during the first visit?  I forgot to ask the doctor when I got my blood test results.  The hubby is thrilled as well.  My mom is just overjoyed because this is about the same time she got pregnant with me.  All she could say was, "My baby is having a baby."

We are 6 weeks as of 07/12. I go for my first U/S 07/18! I cant wait and have such excitement and nerves all at once. I am so in love with our sweet pea and hope to hear/see the heartbeat on Friday!!!!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

This is my first time writing.  This is my second pregnancy, the first ended in miscarriage at 7 weeks. (I got pregnant in February and miscarried in April)  Not fun.  I am now 6 weeks and 5 days.  I am excited and very nervous.  We had our 1st ob appt. this past Wed., just the preliminary stuff.  Not ultrasound.  The comes is 2 1/2 weeks.  I can't wait.  The  morning sickness started this week and man is it bad.  

Now I am experiencing some pain on my right side.  It makes me scared.  Anyone else experienced this?

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

I am 6 weeks today! My hubby and I are very excited. Our mom's cired when we told them that they were going to be grandma's. Everyone else that we have told is excited for us too! I can't believe that I have a little person growing inside me. It's so amazing to think about!

The "all day long" sickness started for me two days ago. Everyone keeps telling me to keep eating and I will feel better, but the thought of food makes me feel even more sick. Is anyone else having this?

We have our first OB visit in a month. The office I go to doesn't have you come in until you are 8-10 weeks along. Is that weird?

wendygirl~I also am having some cramping. Everyone I have talked to says that is normal, as long as it's not an unbearable pain. But if you are worried about it, I would call you doctor.

Posted by Mark & Sara    Thursday, July 31, 2008 3:31 PM


re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

oh you are definately not alone in the 'all day sickness'. Mine started the day i found out (5 weeks).  the thought of food or smell of it makes me sick as well but i find if you take your prenatal vitamins in the am and eat very small, light meals throughout the day you will find it gets a little better. I am in my 6th week now and i just discovered this little trick yesterday.

This is my second one and i didnt have this problem with my first pregnancy, but i think im making up for it now.  

I have had a miscarriage in Jan. as well and am having some cramping this time too. it is more than likely just your body stretching and growing to accomadate the little one, or so ive heard.

Good luck to all you ladies and congrats!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

I've questioned since early last week if I was pregnant, and I just confirmed this morning with a home pregnancy test that I am indeed pregnant! And tomorrow will be the first day of week 6! I'm still in a state of disbelief because it happened a lot sooner than I expected. I took myself off the pill in late May, had a period 6 weeks later and found my self pregnant just a couple weeks after that! My first appointment with my midwife isn't until September 2, so my husband and I are anxiously awaiting that! Congrats to everyone else who also recently started this journey!

Just found out yesterday we are expecting, and today is week six and I feel great! That is so exciting. I have my first OB apt. on Aug. 18. :)

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

This is my second pregnacy I wrote last week on the apple seed but I found out on friday that I was actually 6 weeks last thursday.  I have my first midwife appointment on September 24, it will be my 12 week appointment.  I have been feeling a little quezzy at night but I think maybe I should eat something after I take my vitamins.  My midwife recommends taking them at night because they do make some women feel sick and that way there you get to sleep it off.  I find it works best for me that way.

Posted by BabyRushon#2    Monday, August 18, 2008 9:50 PM


re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

Had my first mini doctors appointment on Friday.  Unfortunantly because we had an ectopic pregnancy in March, the doctor didn't want to go too far without an ultrasound to make sure that this baby is where it's supposed to be.  This has been the longest and scariest wait ever.  Ultrasound appointment tomorrow.  Every little twing scares me.  I know what kind of pain accompanies a baby in  your tube, and I've felt nothing like it so far, but it's still really nerve racking.  Hard to be excited when you aren't sure how long it's going to go on for.

Posted by Baby Mamma    Tuesday, August 19, 2008 2:08 PM


re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

Yay!  Week 6!  I have my first u/s on week 8 and cant wait!  My hubby deploys that same week so i am so happy that he will get to see at least one u/s and hopefully hear the heartbeat before he leaves for 4 months! I am just glad he will be back before the birth!

Posted by Nikibug    Tuesday, August 19, 2008 8:00 PM


re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

Saw the little heart beat last Wednesday at our ultrasound.  I think that they do it a bit different up here in Canada, cause most women don't get a U/S until they are about 18 weeks for the first one.  We got this one just to make sure that baby was in the right place.  Pretty powerful for something so small.

i still can't believe we're preggers...we just found out yesterday after trying for 6 mos and about to start clomid.  we feel so blessed!  we aren't scheduled for an u/s for another 2-3 weeks, and i can hardly stand it!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

Oh yes, our little sweet pea.  It's so exciting to know how fast baby is growing.  From a poppyseed to a sweet pea!  I'm definitely feeling the morning sickness now.  Last week I was a little worried because I felt fine, but now it is hitting me.  I've had a couple of close calls, but no puking yet.  Is anyone still having cramping and pressure in the lower ab?

I'm so excited to have a Sweet Pea! I can't believe it! We found out a week ago yesterday and I'm the same as MandiG... it doesn't feel real! We are starting to tell our friends and family now, which makes it feel more real. And the bloating, cramps and nasea definitely makes me know something is going on inside my body! This is our first child and we are all so excited! Our first Dr. Apt is on Oct. 9th... I'm counting down the days!

Posted by hparrott    Monday, September 22, 2008 8:48 PM


re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

So I'd love to hear from someone who's had the confirmation and first doc apt??  What do they do then?  We found out at our in-laws, out of state, but have been giving it a week or so to sink in, and find a doc. We'll go for an ultrasound on Tuesday, which is just so unreal!  We'll only be 7 weeks then though, so i hope that they'll be able to hear the heart beat... does anyone know if 7 weeks is too early?  We're pumped and overwhelmed at the same time!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

reaching SIX WEEKS today just makes it more offiicial for some reason. Even tho we knew from the moment of conception, 5 test later and a doctor confirmation didn't make it real until today!  I think it's b/c the symptoms have KICKED IN!!!!   but it's all worth it, right, ladies :)

I'll be 6 weeks on Tuesday and my husband and I are so excited! This is our first baby and we got pregnant the week he came home from Iraq.  What a surprise and a welcome home gift! We were shocked at how quickly it happened! Our first OB appointment is November 18th! So far, I've felt just fine.  I'm hoping that morning sickness stays away but not holding my breath!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

Hooray for sweet peas! My husband and I lost a baby early this year, but I did not miscarry on my own. So when we went for our first pre-natal appointment thinking I was 9.5 weeks, the baby had died three weeks earlier. It was a rough time. So I griped enough that my new doctor let me come in early (Election Day!) and at 6 weeks, 1 day, we saw a heartbeat! A heart in a sweet pea... Amazing!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

We are so excited! Our sweet pea is about to become a blueberry and I can't believe it. I just can't wait to go to the Dr. and make sure everything is in order. Pray for us! I'll pray for all of you! God bless all the those growing babies out there!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

We just found out we were pregnant last Thursday, I can't believe we're already 6 weeks, and is already the size of a Sweet Pea!  We were thinking of wait to tell everyone until after the first trimester, (since i had a miscarriage a couple years back), but we decided to tell our families on Christmas instead. What a great Christmas this will be for us and our families! We were not trying to get pregnant, but now that we are, we can't be more excited.  Are lives will definitely change, but I know it will be great! Our baby will be surrounded by love and happiness. Congrats to all you 6 weekers!  I can't wait for my first prenatal appointment on the 22nd of December. Blessing to you all =)

My husband and I have also decided to tell our families on Christmas, we just can't wait any longer.  We are going to wrap little pairs of baby shoes and either write a note or write on the bottom of them, "I can't wait to meet you around  8-12-09"  to surprise everyone during present time!

Had an ultrasound today (I work in u/s so easy access); I'm 6w2d but the baby was measuring at least 7 weeks. Our little sweet pea looks more like a little blob right now! We are so very excited...saw the heartbeat; we are ECSTATIC to see that right now! Won't have our first OB appt. till Jan.23rd, which I will be about 10 weeks by then! So very exciting...hope all is going well for the other mommies and daddies out there! :)

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

I am six weeks too and so excited! I think my hubby is taking it easy because he doesn't want to get his hopes up until we see the heartbeat. Our first apt isn't until January 19th! I feel like I'm going to go crazy waiting till then.

Yes, I'm having morning sickness too, sensitivity to smells, some light cramping which is normal and my boobs are huge and hurt like hell.... fun fun!!! But it's all worth it. Good luck to you all :)

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

Yeah, I had spotting for about a week. I went to the doctor today and she checked me and said that is is normal to have that in the first trimester, as long as it's not a lot of blood and is not accompanied with severe cramping.

We are very excited about our little sweet pea! I have been struggling with pretty nasty morning sickness for the past week, before that it was only about 15 minutes a day.  FUN TIMES! We don't go to the doc until the 30th of Jan and can not wait to see our beautiful baby's heart beating!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

We love our little Sweat Pea already. We are 6 weeks, 6 days. We found out and had confirmed by the doctor a weeks ago, but not set to go see the ob until the 21st. Can't wait to hear the little heart beat. My body is going crazy, I have every symptom listed in my book for the 1st trimester. The worst is the all day nausea, I don't want to eat because everything looks so discusting and tastes and smells funny, but Sweet Pea wants me to. The burping is really embarrassing too, my family thinks it is really cute, however when I am at work, it's not really cute. They say the worse I feel the healthier our little one is. Tomorrow we are moving onto blueberry size, but still gonna call it Sweet Pea until born (not finding out the sex until birth).

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

Just found out on Friday that we are having our first baby.  Truly is a miracle after we gave up on fertility treatments one year ago!  Still can't believe it's true.

On week six as of Wednesday! My HCG level is raising just fine thank god! I can't wait to go and hear the heartbeat maybe that will finally make it real for me!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

I am six weeks too but I am showing a lot so I think I may be a litte farther along. My first doctors appt is February 10th and this is our second. Our daughter is 4 1/2. Is anyone starting to show more and does the stomach feel tight? I remember of course being pregnant with our first. You just forget.

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

6 weeks AND my birthday!  I still can't believe it.  First U/S at the end of the month-I can't wait to hear the heartbeat.  My fiance is being just the sweetest thing ever; every day I think he takes on more of a role as my personal caretaker.   Not that I want to be waited on hand and foot, but he's so sweet.  I'm thrilled, but I'm so scared!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

This is my first pregnancy and I'm 6 weeks!  I have a question, my first Dr. appointment isn't until Feb. 3, is that too late? Secondly, they are just having me see a nurse that day - therefore I assume no ultrasound/heartbeat will be done.  Is this right?  I am concerned bcs. it seems like a lot of moms on here are already seeing the heartbeat!  Also, I have no m/s whatsoever (knock on wood) but my BBS hurt! and I have to pee all the time.  Thanks!!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

My doctor's office just told me that they don't do an ultrasound until 20 weeks!  Didn't some of you get them around 6-8wks?  And, if so, how did you acquire one?  Thanks!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

JuneBride - there is nothing for your to worry about.  I am just 6 weeks today.  I have a dr apt on Jan 20th and an ultrasound scheduled on Feb 2... this is only because I have a history of m/s.  If they don't want to do an ultrasound until 20 weeks 0 that is a good sign.  Congrats and good luck!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

Very happy, nervous and  scared because our last pregnancy ended at 8 weeks.  We have our 1st ultrasound this week sometime and until I hear my baby's heartbeat it won't feel real.

6 weeks, 3 days today...  Went into the doctor last week and was originally told we were 6 1/2 last week...turned out to look more like 5 1/2...so, we go back this friday for another u/s...to make sure everything is okay...little nervous.  It's my first and we had some trouble getting pregnant (I have PCOS), so my fingers are crossed...

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

I am 6 weeks today!  We are so excited and can't wait to find out what it is! How come some people get to hear the heart beat so early? and I was told I have to wait until 12 weeks? is it Dr preference?

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

6 week preggors today and I'm very excited that my little sweetpea has not made me sick at all today.  I go for my first prenatal visit tomorrow and am very anxious to ask the OBGYN if we're having twins.  I have no idea...but alot of my friends and family keep telling me that.  Keeping my fingers crossed...

Posted by ChiPeace    Wednesday, January 21, 2009 5:23 PM


re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

we are assuming I am six weeks but not for sure, had an ultrasound at the E.R. due to having back pain and they wanted to make sure the pregnancy was in my uterus.  My N/P said the ultrasound looked fine but i was to early to see a heartbeat... and since we are not excactly sure how far along I am and a m/c in the past my N/P wants to do an ultrasound on the 28th to see the heartbeat...I really thought it was going to be hard to get pregnant again but the Lord proved me wrong and Im glad!! I have had some tightening, bloating , nausea and a little crampy 4 about 2 wks now and my N/P said that was normal as long as there was not any bleeding, Please keep  us in your prayers when we go next week and I will keep you all in ours, May we all have healthy full-term pregancy and God Bless you all!!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

Yay!!! Our first little sweet pea! I've had a really hard time with the all day nausea and puking, but my bbs are getting gianormous (dh likes that) and the prenatal vitamins are making my skin and hair beautiful! My mom was so so excited to hear that her first grandbaby is on the way. My first ob appt isn't until Feb 26 and it's killing me! They said that it'll be with a nurse, but that they're sending me to the hospital for bloodwork...does that mean an u/s too?

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

I am 6 weeks as of yesterday, first pregnancy. My 1st appointment is next Wednesday (day before week 7). We're telling my stepchildren first, then the rest of the family. I have no idea yet what to expect from my visit, I hope I get to either see something or hear the heartbeat just so it hits me that I am really pregnant. Fortunately, I haven't experienced any problems, I hope it stays that way. Congrats to all the new moms (and dads) what an exciting thing to experience. It blows my mind!!!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

Hi, so I am assuming I am on week six (but last week I thought I was too). I am not going to the OB/GYN until Feb. 9th. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and I have been doing really well as of lately (as far as the RA goes - taking 50 mg injections of Enbrel once a week, until got the good news - RA doctor wanted me off of the Enbrel for about 6 + months before we had our first pregnancy though), but I thought that the OB/GYN might would have seen me at 6 weeks instead of 8-10 because of that. I am going to a new doctor because I recently moved to Huntsville, Alabama - Dr. John Wheeler. One of my husband's family members suggested him. My last Dr. was a woman. I've thought about calling other places to see if I can get fitted in this week or next week instead. I guess I may have nothing to worry about since 8 - 10 weeks is normal (but am i normal with the RA?). I guess that two weeks isn't as long as it seems.

I do want to ask a question though... Sunday morning when I woke up the right side of my tail bone was hurting (still is) like it's bruised. It's not a sharp pain at all, but just a bruised sore feeling. Should I be concerned and calling the doctor? Also, I am not really eating more but gaining a good bit, showing clearly all the signs and getting stretch marks (bought tummy butter - hope it helps) so I hope I am having twins (probably not though)... I'm a gluten for punishment (RA and twins). It is possible that the sore tail bone is just the  RA (random pains and bruising are par for the course)? During the night last night I was afraid it was an ectopic p. until I woke up and read the signs, symptoms and all... so I laid that worry to rest.

God bless you all and the beautiful babies you are carrying. I am waiting until Feb 7 (probably) to tell our families, so wish me luck with that. I have seen my parents twice since then and will see them this weekend also, so it's been very hard not to tell them. My cousin is having a baby and will be due in Sept, like me. I found out Sat. morn. from my mom and wanted to jump up and say, "ME TOO!!!". If I could stand to wait I'd almost wait till after the 1st trimester, because I keep thinking that I am going to wake up and it not be real or wake up to find i've had a miscarriage. My husband and I were really starting to think that we'd wouldn't be able to have kids without help. God is blessing us though. God is always bigger than the problems. With Him anything is possible, so I will try not to worry about a miscarriage and just be prayerful. Oh, and we haven't even found a church home yet up here. Sad. I guess we'll just keep looking.

Sorry, I talk way too much... Congrats to you all!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

Yeah! My husband and i are 6 weeks and 4 days pregnant! I have been to doctor twice but no ultrasound yet... They just wanted to check my HCG level and make sure it was rising normally since i had a miscarriage in october. Everything is looking wonderful so far! We go this Thursday Jan 29th to hear heartbeat and see baby!!! We are so EXCITED!!! WISH US LUCK!!!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

I am 6 weeks and 2 days today. I am so excited, and still can't really believe it. We go to the doctor on the 28th, so I'm hoping we'll at least be able to see the heartbeat. My hubby still seems to be in shock that it's real! I get dizzy occasionally, but no m/s yet (knock on wood). I know that's ok, but it still makes me nervous that I don't "feel" more pregnant...

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

I totally agree with andreagibbs...I wish I felt more pregnant.  I'm almost at 7 weeks and I don't think it will feel real until the first appt on Feb. 9th.  I keep taking prego tests just to make sure and try to convince myself that it is real!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

I am 6 weeks pregnant and this is our second sweet pea!  Our first baby was stillborn back in March and we miss her dearly.  We are very excited about our new baby and very positive.  I didn't know if anyone out there is also going through a pregnancy after a loss.  I also have Rhuematoid Arthritis (RA) (our baby being stillborn had nothing to do with RA...it was Group B Strep, you'll find out more about that in week 35-37) and I wanted to let mrc7sjsc know that I did pretty well without medication during my first pregnancy.  I went off Humira about 3 months before conceiving our first time and went off Mobic 2 weeks before conceiving this time.  Watch out for the weight gain...as soon as I started putting on about 15-20 extra pounds, the RA went to my knee.  I luckily only gained a total of 25 lbs, but my knee is still suffering.  Who knows??? you may be one of the lucky ones who goes into remission!  I also have the soar right lower back...prenatal yoga helps!

Sleep has been AWFUL though. Anyone  else experience lack of sleep?? I can also feel the nausea starting on and off..hopefully it won't be too bad...well so excited..Congrats all you sweet peas out there

We are both ecstatic about our little sweet pea... although it might still be closer to an apple seed as I'm just starting my 6th week.  I have my first ultrasound on March 10th and we're both excited.  We're waiting until after that appt to tell our family & friends the big news.  Our 1-year anniversary is Monday... what a perfect time to bring a new addition into our household!  We were talking about getting a puppy but I think that will be put on the back burner for now.

My DH and I are very much in shock still, but happy :) I think we are in denial (I did the pregnancy test twice to be sure, and the other day I was thinking of doing a third test) and it probably won't sink in until belly starts to grow. My first Appt is March 18!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

I'm still not sure if I'm pregnant but I'm following the schedule like I am.  I really want to be but I have been on implanon for about a year and a half so I don't know.  My fiance and I didn't feel we were ready for another child seeing as I already have two from a previous relationship, but once the possibility arose we really got excited.  I'm hoping to be but I'm scared to test or go to the doctor because they say implanon can cause false negatives--don't want disappointments--what should I do?

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

I just found out I was six weeks and 1 day based on size of baby.  It thought I was a little further along.  I saw his heart beating but didn't hear it.  The Dr. said the quality would be that good because it was an ER visit for threatened miscarriage.  My first Dr Appt is this coming Tuesday.  I had a miscarriage last June, I think I was further along but that time they didn't see a baby or hear a heart beat. So I'm actually exciting I saw the baby this time and have pictures.  I just ask everyone for their prayers.  Thanks

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

I'm about to be six weeks pregnant in two days! I found out a week ago I was pregnant, and yesterday was my first ultrasound!!  I saw my little one's heart beating, but I couldn't hear it either . . . this is my first pregnancy so I am overwhelmed with joy and I have LOTS of questions. Lets all hope it is a happy and healthy experience overall!!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

i am at 6wks now also, went to get a ultrasound yesterday to see if the heartbeat was there, so relieved it was! yay! it was a pulsating blob! haha, but had a miscarriage my first time around this exact same time, so i am so happy everything is going great! i am having cramping though, but they are saying it is due to my uterus expanding, and i am tired all the time!

The ony symptom that I have experienced is fatigue!!! I have felt quizzy once or twice but no sickness. I guess I am lucky even though my grandmother says to be patient, it will come. LOL!!! Good luck to all the pregnant women out there.

I had to have surgery back in April to take care of the reasons I wasn't getting pregnant, and then we managed to get pregnant right away in my next cycle. :) Can't wait for our first sono on 6/16!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

I'm so excited to make it to 6 weeks!  After two miscarriages, every day seems like a gift.  Of course, every gas bubble, cramp, pain, whatever sends me into panic mode...  i started taking prenatals as soon as I tested positive, but didn't call the doctor until two days ago.  I'm a nervous and excited to go to in.  I associate that visit with bad memories.  Hopefully this monkey hangs in there!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

I'd never been pregnant and was wondering if I was fertile at all. I went off the OCP 4-5 months ago. We were using the lunar calender, lazily, and it turns out I am fertile! My husband and I are thrilled. My only negative symptoms are a little cramping and gas. My skin is clear, my nails are longer, and I have a nose like a bloodhound. Welcome, my little Sweet Pea. Take your time growing, I love being pregnant.

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

We found out we are expecting our first child, we were married March 8,2008 and we have been trying for about 8 months.  We are so excited but our first appointment with our midwife is not until July 7, 2009 when we are almost 10 weeks.  I kinda wish we could go and hear the heartbeat as I am sure that would make this more real????  :) So far the worst things is the automatica wake up at 5:30 to go to the bathroom.  Other then that things have been smooth sailing :)

Posted by Terrely    Monday, June 15, 2009 10:35 AM


re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

We are on week 6 with our first baby!  YAY!!!  We have our ultrasound scheduled for July 1 so I am so excited about going and hearing a hearbeat.  I think it will make it more real for my husband when he hears that!  We recently had a miscarriage so I am excited to pass the point where we lost the last baby so fingers crossed everything goes smooth with this little pea.

It's so nice to hear that everyone is doing well. We went yesterday for our sonogram and saw the heartbeat. My husband got motion sickness from the screen...lol. We go back in two weeks!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

Just found out that we were pregnant with our first last Monday.  I missed my period the week before and I just had that feeling.  Took the test and it was positive!  We just celebrated our 1 year anniversary on 6/21.  I did one of those online calculators to figure out how far along I was and it said 6 weeks and 2 days.  Haven't had any sickness yet, just tired and had really bad headaches.  I don't have my doctor appointment until 7/16.  I am really excited for that, but it seems so far away!  We have already told our family, we were so excited...I always thought that I would wait, but once it happened we couldn't wait to tell everyone!....I told my hubby that the baby is sweet pea sized and he suggested that we name it that, just like in Popeye :) I am really enjoying reading everyone's comments and seeing that you all are going through similar experiences.  Good luck to all!!!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

Nitty03- I'm now 6 weeks with my first but I've been a nanny for several years and I have always said I'd rather deal with twins than anything less than 18 months apart.  So good luck.

My husband and I don't have our first u/s til the end of August (around 9 weeks).  I'm jealous of everyone getting one at 6 weeks.  So far I'm not really sick or anything.  Had cramps for most of weeks 4 and 5 and I'm so tired all the time I'm falling asleep sitting up.  Also can't stop eating all day.  Got the tired and hungry part before I knew I was preggo.

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

Confirmed yesterday that I'm 6 weeks and 2 days. We had our first ultrasound and saw our little sweat pea (looks more like a jelly bean). We even heard the heart beat and saw it flicker. Truly amazing. Feeling good so far. Like many here, no morning sickness-just a tad crampy and a bit sleepy. No increase in appetite, but when I do get hungry its like I have to eat right away or I'm going to starve. lol. So excited for what is to come. Good luck to all :-)

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

I am very nervous still, i think that it is just that we are all so happy that we will not let ourselves believe life is this good. I know great people that have had miscarriages so i am thinking why would it work for me. Not many symptoms either. My boobs are sore off and on but not as bad as they were. my stomach feels like mush most of the time but no delivery to the porcelin throne yet. All i crave is crap food so i am constantly trying to avoid it. my sense of smell is very strong. Not very tired yet either. I have to wait til the 8th for the doc appt so hopefully it goes well. Good luck to all of us.

It's not that bad as of yet, just feel a little nauseous but not enough to throw up. Anyways, we are so....excited as we have been trying for the last three years. We started going to a fertility specialist and the month we decided to "take a break from tic" I got pregnant! Still can't believe it but am so....HAPPY!!! Congratulations everyone!!

I think I'm 5w4d (according to my last period) but I've been gaining a lot of weight (4 pounds in 1 week) and I was nauseous before I found out I was pregnant (I thought it was because I had a sinus infection though). Could I be further along or am I just gaining a lot of weight fast?

To The Person Above: I Gained Weight Really Fast Too, But Then When I Started Having More Nausea Around The Beginning Of This Week, I Lost A Few Pounds. Don't Worry :)

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

We are 6 weeks today.  First appt. on Nov. 17th.  I am so anxious and excited.  I can't wait to hear and see the heartbeat!  Is anyone else having extremely CRAZY dreams at night?  I dreamed about cotton candy and talking animals last night...and that was only one night!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

We're 5 weeks and 6 days and my first ob/gyn appointment is tomorrow, Yea! I'm still waiting for morning sickness to kick in. I've been nauseous from time to time but nothing too bad. I hope that's all I get bec I really hate puking. Yuck! to AGULFMAN: As far as weird dreams, I've had a few but I'm sure I'll have many more. I did with my first child. Really off the wall stuff!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

We had our first u/s on Wednesday and got to see our tiny, super-busy baby.  How cool is it to imagine someone so tiny (a sweet pea or a grain of rice, as my OB termed him/her) with a steady heartbeat!  It was definitely a magical experience.  oh, and I can totally relate to the dreams.  God only knows what I'll dream of next!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

We are 6 weeks today, and it is all so exciting. This is our first. We have yet to tell the family, we are planning on telling everyone on Thanksgiving. My little Sweet Pea is growing!! Yay!!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

We are 6 weeks today!  We found out a couple weeks ago and have our first appointment in a couple weeks.  We've told immediate family but are waiting to tell everyone else until after the first trimester.  We're so excited!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

We are 6 weeks today and super excited! This is our first baby. We found out the day before Thanksgiving, I took 3 tests that day and 1 more on Thanksgiving day just to be sure!  We told our immediate families on Thanksgiving a few very close friends, everyone else will wait until after the first trimester.  I will be calling my doctor tomorrow to schedule my appt, I can't wait to get in there!

This tool is so cool, it's nice to have something to compare the baby to!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

I just had my first ultrasound.  They think i'm 5 weeks and 6 days.  we could see the sweet pea but barely.  She could barely find a heartbeat, i could hear it but i think it was my heartbeat.  it wasn't fast. OB said it was still a little early.  We scheduled for me to come back in two weeks....  I'm nervous....  Any thoughts?

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

First u/s is on Feb. 17th! We can't wait to hear the heartbeat!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

Wow, after trying for 3 years, we are at 6 weeks! We just found out last week, and everything is making me nervous! I'm so glad my OB makes appointments right away and doesn't make us wait! I don't think I could handle it! This is our first and I'm trying to relax and take it easy, not get too worried. I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

Hooray. We're in the middle of our 6th week right now, which is so exciting. The morning sickness (or all day sickness for me) has definitely set in. I'm looking forward to hearing the heartbeat sometime in the next couple of weeks. I think our sweet pea will seem more real to me then!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

Found out Monday Jan. 18th I was pregnant! The doctor's office said I was 6 weeks, but The Bump is saying 5 weeks.  My doctor can't fit me in for my first exam until Feb. 15th and I feel that is too far away!  What if something goes wrong in the meantime?  I have already had 2 miscarriages in 2009, both at around the 6 week mark.  But this one is different in that I am NOT bleeding like I did with the previous two.  My boobs feel real sore and heavy and I get real hungry at odd times.  Not extremely tired yet, but my back and feet ache sometimes at work (I stand on my feet my whole shift).  No sickness yet!  Just anxious that all will be well when I go for my dr's appt!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

I am 6 weeks 4 days today. I had my first appointment with my Dr. on Monday. He was concernec to hear that I was having light cramping, and because of that wants to do an early ultrasound tomorrow to make sure everything is ok looking inside. I am really nervous because he termed me High Risk. I am just hoping that everything goes smoothly and that I can make it through the 1st trimester, but the next 6 weeks feel like forever!

Posted by babygruden    Wednesday, January 27, 2010 7:13 PM


re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow!  We are so excited - but i guess it still doesn't seem real!  I, too have been having light cramping - feels like just before i would start my period.  But, from the book i've had my nose in - What to expect when you're expecting -  cramping is normal, it said that it is the uterus expanding... so who knows.  It's all so new and different.  I can relate to the sore boobs!  haven't had much morning sickness yet... thought i have felt uneasy at times.  My appetite is a lot different - i'm starving in the morning and at lunch time - but when dinner roles around i don't seem to want much to do with it.   Can't wait until my OB appt - not till 2/16!

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

We are 6w6d thank god! after an m/c 5 months ago we have been ttc ever since! we are supersticious of telling people but we are so anxious to meet this little person!!! i am just now starting to feel nausea...thats really all though! nothing else.

i have seen the little heartbeat and due to our m/c, we are lucky to have an ob that has agreed to see us every week until 13 to make sure that we are ok.

i am praying to god and asking my little pea to grow for us! we cant wait to meet the apple of our eye! <3

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

I went this morning to have my first u/s. I'm 6w2d... It was AMAZING!!! I could see the flicker of the heatbeat, it was very emotional, because my husband and I were trying to get pregnant for awhile! My HGC levels are perfect too. Finally we can start celebrating :) xo

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

Ok ladies, I just came from my 1st u/s and the doctor could not find the heartbeat! I am 6weeks and 3days today, Doc said "its not uncommon", but that did not help me from worrying! Anyone else have this problem? Any advice will surely help. Thank You in Advance

re: Week 6: Sweet Pea

I am 6wks and 3days. I have my first apt on 3/30. I'm not sure what to expect even though this is my fourth child. I have a new Dr. I am hoping to hear or see something wonderful!

Our first appointment is next Friday, and we can't wait to hear our baby's heartbeat.  I am feeling really queezy at night time and smells are really starting to get to me...  I have a five year old son and he can't wait for his lil bro or sis to be born.  My husband is super excited, for this is his first child.  Best wishes to everyone!
