1st Time Mommy 2b
Posted: 10-03-05 14:43pm

Just found out august 31 that I am pregnant. So excited and scared at the same time. I have never seen my husband so excited and it's the cutest thing ever. Right now the only symptoms I have is sore breasts and then I have been eating a whole lot everyonce in awhile I will feel sick to my stomach but I don't throw up. And I don't even feel like i'm pregnant at all
but everytime i've been to the doctors they tell me everything is great. So I can't wait. It's the most exciting point in my life and it makes me even more happier to see how excited my husband is. My due date is may 19, 2006. In my opinion that's way to far away

I agree- it takes ages to have a baby !!!!!!!
I'm due november 10th with my 2nd, and I think even that is too far away!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot wait to see what she looks like.

Enjoy your pregnancy, hope all goes well.

Thats What I Thought
Posted: 10-06-05 13:08pm

I'm 16 weeks + 3 days, and I thought when I arrived at the 16 weeks mark i'd be 4 months pregnant but that isn't right, because if you calculate from my lmp which is 12june, I will be 4 months pregnant 12oct, right?

I couldn't get my head around it at first, I mean 12 weeks is 3 months , 20 weeks is 5 months, but thats just a general count, if you think of it, 1 week is 7 days, 4 weeks is 28 days (not 30 or 31 like each month), so infact we arrive at the 4 month mark at 17 weeks + 2 days.

Its actually disappointiing when u think of it like that, I felt a little down when I managed to figure it out. But hey 16 weeks is still 16 weeks!! Better then nothing :d

Anarella, you count from your last menstrual period, but you count as 4 weeks per month. So your monthly mark will not be on the 12th every month.

For example, my last menstrual period is june 30th, but my 4 month mark is october 20th.

This is why your actually pregnant for 9 months... But looking at the calender, its 10 lol. This is also why your estimated due date isnt for the 12th of the month either.

This is all confusing, maybe they work it out differently in different countries, but the way I calculate it, is the same way as all the tickers/calenders work it out, infact doc, me, online calenders have all given me the same due date!.

My due date is 19th march, which is exactly 9 months + 1 week (week for that unit of..... Ohh whats the word.... U know, give or take 1 week, bloody hell, don't u just hate it when u know what to say but can't think of the word :x ).
Anyway thats the way they do it over here, hehe who knows

I forgot you were from italy lol, I have no idea if it is different than here in the us.

My due date is april 6th and I am 14 weeks and 2 days today.

Your due date is 2 weeks and 4 days ahead of mine.. Which here in the us would of made your 16th week starting at october 2nd?

Try this link, I love it lol. You put in your due date and it tells you when you start a new week!

I miss being pregnant. I want another baby already. Seeing everybody go through their pregnancies on here.

I discovered this site when my baby was about 9 weeks old, if I remember right. I wish I had of come across it earlier.

All the girls who are due the first week of april - 2006. I was exactly like you one year ago this time. I had 2 due dates. April 1, and april 6....

I had my baby april 13th.... I hated being pregnant then, but miss it now.

I love my little booger soo much..But suffered a little bit of post partum about 1 month ago. Its hard but you get through it.

Lil blaze..Is a great girl to talk to on here...She has alot of good advice!!..If you ever need anything "real" ask her....

She's genuine, and no caca.

Have a happy thanksgiving everyone!!!!

Hiya pocket!

I used that date calculator on the link u wrote (ty by the way, its a cool site), and it said the same thing as all the rest i've used, and said i'm due 19th march like doc said. Also said i'm in 16th week, which started 3rd oct, now i'm 16 weeks + 5 days!.

I guess the only difference between here and over there is that we calculate 1 month being 30/31 days and not 4 weeks like over there, the important thing is at least the due date is the same which ever way you calculate it lol.

I just can't wait for my man, the last week i've grown so impatient hehe (how i'm gonna stay came for nearly another 23 weeks, I don't know! :d )
its probably due to my bump getting bigger day by day, and I feel him a lot now so its impossible to forget even for 1 sec that i'm pregnant!! :d

hey sammy, am sure i'll feel the same way u do, hope I don't get baby blues though!! :d

Annarelle, your right, as long as you have a due date, it doent really matter haha.

Sammy, I have gotten a few due dates too... April 5th, 6th, and 7th. I am hoping I am late like you were, my father passed away april 14th, 2004. I would love nothing more than to give birth that day, but I know I don't have much of a choice lol. I believe this baby is already a sign, being due so close to when I lost my dad. Then again, my sister's bday is march 28th... So if I am early, they may share a birthday haha

Due Date Shmoo Date
Posted: 10-11-05 19:44pm

Knowing the exact due date is all well and good, but it doesn't make much difference in the end- baby comes when baby comes.

I was due january 9th with my first, and it had been changed from feb 12th, feb 7th, and some other date I can't remember.
My waters broke on january 15th.


Every time I go to my appointment they remind me of how many weeks and days along I am. (36 weeks now)
the way I like to count it, is backwards- i've got a calander with my due date markled as zero, and the previous day marked one, the one before that two etc, so i've looked at the calander today, and see I have 26 "sleeps" left.
Whether or not I actually get them all- or even a couple of bonus extras this time is another thing !!!!!!!!

Good luck
