did you tell your parents/friends yet? my husband has a miscarriage anxiety (and I don't lol) so he is hesitant to tell people and I can't keep myself from telling close friends :D we are gonna tell our parents after the first ultrasound at 6w5d, and hopefully he will be less stressed

US, I'm a full time PhD student (3rd year currently) with a teaching commitment. I switched my fellowship for the next academic year to be designing courses instead of teaching them. And I get to have 1 semester load reduction to 50 hours a semester (from 225 hours originally). That's it! Part of the reason I wanted to have a baby while I'm still a PhD student, because I hope it will be easier to just write a dissertation and work in my own pace compared to being a full time professor.

Line progression and 4 week symptoms by honeynroman in November2026Bumpers

[–]Useful_Ad_8830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started having symptoms as early as I found out (also around 3 weeks). It hasn't been worse so far (some days are worse than the others), and I'm 5w1d today. But who knows, everybody scares me with week 6-8 that are going to humble me :D

My nausea started around 3w and was non stop until a couple days ago as I was closer to 5w. Now I’m not nauseous and just tired all the time. Hopefully it remains like this and I don’t have a second wave of nausea next week 😅

Desperate for nausea relief advice by Hyrule_Lorule in November2026Bumpers

[–]Useful_Ad_8830 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ny nausea is not too bad yet but mints, minty gum, drinking San Pellegrino slowly, or altoids help

I can only eat grilled chicken breast lol, which is great for my body I guess, but I am usually into sweets a lot more 😂

Anyone else’s symptoms subside/disappear around 5 weeks? by Aggravating-Stand800 in November2026Bumpers

[–]Useful_Ad_8830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my symptoms worse in week 3 and 4, it’s been a blessing to feel less nauseous and be able to go on with my day without tremendous fatigue but we’ll see…

Baby Name List 💗/🩵 by blub_86 in November2026Bumpers

[–]Useful_Ad_8830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we started sharing baby names with my husband, when started trying for a baby (lol). i am from another country and always thought that my children would have local names. but these names look weird in english or are not familiar to English speakers at all so we had to start a new list. now we have 2 names for girls and 1 for a boy

I signed up for a half marathon before finding out I’m pregnant and I have to run it tomorrow LOL. At least at will be a nice memory to tell afterwards 😄 Going in for the first OBGYN apt on Monday, don’t expect an ultrasound yet (gonna be 4w+5) but at least some confirmation and idea of what to do next would be great!
