Hellobee Boards

Location: SC

EDD: April 2nd

First child? No, #2

Any symptoms? My wife has been tired, itchy, tender and has felt a little sick, just like with DS at this point.

Who have you told? Nobody

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? I feel hopeful and excited and we have had lots of fun trying to remember all of the things from her first pregnancy and comparing them.

@CoolCate: Keep positive thoughts!

Hi all! Excited but nervous to be here!
EDD:April 5th

First child? 2nd. First one is 2.5 year old girl

Any symptoms? I have been super tired, thirsty, nauseous already and my boobs have been sore. Also cramps at times.

Who have you told? My husband, my best friend and my sister and her husband.

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? I keep experiencing days where my boobs arent as sore so that worries me but then it comes back so I'm sure it's fine. Just worried in general about having two kids. Probably my number one worry is morning sickness. I had it so bad last time and it sucked!

@CoolCate: ugh it's the worst! I'm not looking forward to morning sickness again! I'm already feeling gaggy and low appetite but at the same time starving.

@CoolCate: I'm crampy too but I remember cramping the entire first trimester last time and it's totally normal. It's actually a sign that baby is implanting properly. As long as you don't have bleeding I'm sure you're fine!! I know it's stressful though!

EDD: April 9!

First child? Third

Any symptoms? None yet, aside from cramping

Who have you told? Husband,
mother, BIL/SIL and some friends.

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? None! My older two have been keeping me on my toes lol.

@sorrycharlie: Yay so excited we are in the same month again! How exciting! Number 3!!

@CoolCate: Ugh that sounds stressful! I'm sure you just want a comfortable place while you're not feeling great.

Location: ON, Canada

EDD: April 4th is my best guess

First child? Nope, second, DD will be 2.5 when the new baby is born

Any symptoms? So thirsty and peeing a lot, which I didn't have last pregnancy. Also really bloated, which I also didn't have last time. Some waves of nausea but not bad at all- I know it'll get worse!

Who have you told? DH obviously, my bff and my parents

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? So many! Obviously miscarriage and normal pregnancy fears. this was a bit unexpected as well because it happened quick, which is awesome but I'm also starting a new job Tuesday and have a huge exam in October, so hoping I can just manage everything!

I'm also already nervous about making it to the hospital... Had DD in 6 hours from my water breaking... and my husband works 50 minutes from home and the hospital is at least 45 minutes in the opposite direction.

@turquoisemama: DD1 was a "precipitous birth" (water broke randomly @5pm, fully dilated by 8:30pm) .. went into labor w/DD2 and from first "upset belly" contraction to birth was 9 hours. I was nervous too, but - they do what they want

I'm going to tentatively join...

Location: New Zealand

EDD: mid-April

First child? Pregnancy #4, baby #3 (missed miscarriage in February)

Any symptoms? One sore boob (!) and I feel pretty tired.

Who have you told? Just DH and my bestie back home.

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? 50% terrified, 50% hopeful and 100% surprised because I was pretty sure we'd missed the window for this cycle.

SUPER tentatively joining since I literally just POAS an hour ago!

EDD: mid April

First child? #3! Sort of freaking out about this now ha. DD is 5 next month and DS is 2.5.

Any symptoms? I've been super tired and bitchy, I was sort of hoping there was a reason behind it!

Who have you told? Just Hellobee! I just ordered the same shirt we used to tell my parents we were pregnant with #2 for my son, we're obviously not telling the kids yet but I'm going to give it to DH to tell him. It gets here Tuesday so hopefully I can wait that long!

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? Sort of freaking out about the whole #3 thing, we were waffling back and forth about it for a very long time and decided to just try until our youngest turns 3 and then reassess. I wasn't expecting it to actually happen before our deadline!

Also DS who is 2.5 randomly told me a I had a "baby boy in my tummy" in today, completely out of the blue!

OK, if @HappyBaker: has joined up, I guess I can't wait any longer

Location: Tennessee

EDD: April 17

First child? Nope, DS is 2.5 (Another January 2015 mom here! Though he was due in Feb - born at 36w3d)

Any symptoms? Sore boobs, but that's all I can really attribute to pregnancy. I'm usually tired and hungry, so those aren't really new feelings

Who have you told? DH, a BFF, and we'll tell our small group tonight. We'll wait at least a few weeks to tell anyone else.

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? Super excited, in shock (it took 9 months & Clomid to conceive DS, and this was only our 2nd month trying), but also scared that this won't be a sticky baby. Trying to focus on the excited feelings and ignore the fearful ones.

@HappyBaker: Congrats to you, too! I'm just a scaredy cat But I got a positive digital this morning and the pink lines have been darkening all weekend, so I think it's really real!

I am still in shock. We were trying for #2 naturally and 2 weeks before our appointment with the RE to start the process of our FET, I see double-lines! LO1 (ah! First time typing that!) was an April 2015 baby so this is all very surreal.

Location: New England

EDD: April 15

First child? 2nd

Any symptoms? None! My pregnancy with LO1 was the same. I think I had bad MOTN cramps the first few weeks, but that was it for a long time. We'll see.

Who have you told? Just DH.

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? I know people have done it throughout history, but the thought of a toddler and a newborn scares me! Especially as a SAHM with a husband who works pretty long hours. But people have done it! So if this baby is sticky, I will too!

Let's do this, guys!!

@HeartAbandoned: Thank you! Sounds like we're in a similar boat with our journey to get pregnant the first time (IVF for me) and age of our LOs (also 2.5! --and born 2.5 weeks early!). For me, it doesn't quite seem right that it happened naturally and I'm waiting for my body to be like, "Oh! Oh no, we don't do this. It's never this easy - sorry, my mistake." That sounds horrible. Anyway, positive thoughts!

How did it go telling your small group? That must've been fun!
