I'm still feeling nauseous most of the day and don't really have an appetite, but I keep eating in hopes it will make the nausea go away. I'm also still pretty tired. But I'm being positive that this will start to subside in a week or two
-
I had my first midwife appointment today and they weren't able to find the heartbeat with the Doppler. I'm only 9w6d and she wasn't concerned, but I'm still kinda stressed. I have my NT scan on August 11th so I won't get any reassurance until then.
-
Hey guys! I'm so excited to be joining this board. I almost joined immediately, and then panicked that family or friends would find out here instead of in person (hence the deleted comment)
Location: Charlotte, NC
EDD: 2/12
How far along: 12 weeks tomorrow
First child? Second, I have a daughter
First doctor appointment: my NT scan is a week from today
Any symptoms so far? Ugh just as sick as with my DD. That didn't go away until 18-20 weeks, so I'm moving through it. I get lightheaded and dizzy, esp with this heat. Tired but can't sleep well and am up once an hour to pee. With DD I didn't sleep well again until after she was born. But those sweet little ones are so worth all of this!
Who have you told? Family, close friends, some coworkers. Waiting to the NT scan to tell the world.
-
@Kelley_lovelikecrazy: welcome and congrats!
@ms.line: 9 weeks is SUPER early with a Doppler from what I've heard, so try not to stress! (Way easier said than done). Trust your OB! S/he would send you for an immediate ultrasound if s/he was concerned.
@fancyfunction: I think we're due the same day, right? I hope we both turn the corner soon!
-
@Crystal: yes! And I hope so too!
-
@Kelley_lovelikecrazy: welcome!! Congrats!!
-
@fancyfunction: my sickness didn't even start till 9 weeks. That terrifies me that it's going to last forever.
@ms.line: 9 weeks is so early!! I tried at 11 and couldn't find one. With my DS I couldn't until 14 weeks because the placenta was in the front.
-
@Crystal: @Ladybee: Thanks for the reassurance, ladies. You're right, I should trust my midwife! I'm glad I saw the heartbeat at the RE's two weeks ago or I'd probably really be flipping out.
-
@ms.line: I understand the anxiety. We go Monday for our 12 week scan and I'm thinking about trying to find the HB before then. My logical mind knows it's a bad idea since it cause more anxiety if I can't find it.
-
@ladybee: It probably isn't a good idea, but I'd understand if you did it.
Yesterday I was about to ask my midwife to skip the doppler entirely, just to prevent unnecessary anxiety, but but then my irrational self was like WHATEVER JUST DO IT, and now of course I have unnecessary anxiety!

@Kelley_lovelikecrazy: congrats! We're due date twins!
@ms.line: since you saw the heartbeat two weeks ago the odds are definitely in your favor. But still, it would have been reassuring to hear that heartbeat.
The nausea hasn't subsided here either. I'm pretty tired of it, but grateful for everything. But still would like to be one of those people who sail through pregnancy with no symptoms.
-
@ms.line: I totally get the irrational monster popping out! I keep trying to find the HB on my at home Doppler, then I worry if I can't find it, and I worry I'm Radiating my baby. I think I need to put it away for awhile.
@ladybee: oh goodness gracious, you poor thing! I ant believe is started so late!!! How are you feeling now?
@NeonPink1234: I'm so glad to hear you are having symptoms. That sounds weird, but it has to be extra reassuring, especially after your scare.
-
@Crystal: Today has been a shockingly good day! The rest of this week has been brutal so I'm hoping now that I'm over the 12 week mark it'll get better. Thank you for asking!

Hello - Just an update we had our ultrasound on Wednesday and everything went perfect! Ugh all the aniexty leading up we were so relieved to see our baby. The heart beat was 145! Crazy to see your little one in you and moving around. We did the genetic testing, which is so scary and nervewrecking to go through. Thankfully the doctor said the amount of fluid on the back of neck looked perfect and the babies nostril bones were growing, which I guess is a sign for downs if they are not. That definitely gave us some reassurance all will be good. Now we are just waiting for the results to come back, ugh this waiting game is crazy!
Best of luck to everyone and I hope you all get some rest this weekend

@ms.line: I'm Feb 6

Hi everyone,
I've been a hb lurker for awhile and finally decided to hop on and show my "face" haha.
Due date: 2-20-2016
This is my second child (but 4th pregnancy.. First two pregnancies ended in miscarriAges.) my boy is 15 mo and they will be just about 22 mo apart.
Location is San Francisco Bay Area
I'm a sahm currently.
What else? Almost 11 weeks now and have had naseuA since week 5.. But the good thing is I never throw up though I always feel like it.
My first appt was 10 weeks hb was 185 and the booger was kicking away -

Do any of you ladies have February birthdays? Mine is February 5th. The fact that I'll be 37 weeks pregnant killed all my big 30th birthday party plans!!
-
@ms.line: Me!! My birthday is the 6th! If I make it to 39 weeks, I am scheduled to deliver on your birthday. I'm pumped to have this baby before my 31st birthday.
Eta: are you allowed to drink in the hospital? I'd love wine for my birthday. How bad would that look lol
-
@ladybee: Haha, I know, I totally wish I were going to have this baby while I'm still 29. Hopefully you make it to 39 weeks so I have a birthday buddy!
I'm sure DH could smuggle some wine in for you! I definitely plan on having a glass of wine on my birthday (and my baby will still be cookin'), so I say go for it!
-
Ugh, hello bee ate my post! Let's see if I can remember what I said... (Pregnancy brain is killing me, I can't remember anything)
@ms.line: my 3-0 is in a few weeks. We had planned to go to Vegas, and while it looks like we are still going, this trip will be MUCH different than I had envisioned.
@ladybee: I think nurses might be used to it, lol. I have a VERY long list of things I want my DH to bring me post delivery- HUGE Starbucks coffee, margarita, sushi, etc.
-
Look at what my app said this morning about the size of my baby, I thought it was hilarious. (And in the midst of my constant worrying, I need to remember everything IS awesome)
-
@Crystal: when I had my son the nurse and I got into a screaming match because I wanted diet coke RIGHT NOW. Because of my c/s she was worried about the gas in pop but eventually caved.
-
@ladybee: over a diet coke?! Give the pregnant lady what she needs!!! I'm glad you eventually won.
-
@ms.line: My due date has been moved forward to 2/8/16.
thanks for keeping this list!

Hi everyone,
I'm back from vacation and boy did I need it! Got a chance to really relax, unplug, and start to really enjoy this pregnancy. I'm not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow, plus I have to tell my boss I'm pregnant while trying to get a promotion. Eek!It's been so fun catching up on everyone's updates. I'm still super tired all the time, but the nausea has subsided which is nice. I'm super hungry and can't stop eating. We'll see what the scale says tomorrow morning... My next appt with the midwife is in a week, and I'm visiting the l&d floor before then (still haven't decided whether I want to deliver at the hospital or at home...), so I'm looking forward to getting more info soon.
At my ultrasound last week, they changed my due date to 10 days earlier. I still don't quite understand how, since I was so sure of my dates. Do y'all know what it means? That I got my dates wrong and actually conceived 10 days earlier than I thought? Or that my baby is bigger than expected at its gestational age, but still conceived when I thought? It's very confusing...
Anyway, it's nice to be back and to hear from all of you!
-
@saboma: this happened to me with DS. I'm not sure why it was moved up (6 days) but I know my dates weren't wrong because I was temping, taking medication to ovulate and using ovulation sticks. Then I had him a week early so who knows! I think they are just big for gestational age. DS is a taller, heavier kid now.
-
@saboma: That's a big change in due date! It would surprise me if you were off on your ovulation date by a whole 10 days, so maybe you're just growing a big baby!
ETA: Of course you have to make the decision that feels right to you, but I would totally deliver at home if I could! (Home births are not legislated in my state, so only lay midwives will attend them, which I don't feel totally comfortable with. But if I could get a CNM at home that would be ideal!)

@saboma: aww a home birth would be so awesome! For my first labor we barely made it to the hospital and I pushed ds out in 5 min.. So home labor would have been nice esp since I looove the water. But I'm too worried about possible medical interventions just in case something happens so I'll prob always deliver at a hospital. Let us know hat you decide!!!
-
@saboma: @mrs.kiwi: @ms.line: you are so brave to even consider a home birth! That thought never even crossed my mind.
-
@Crystal: agreed. I'm too afraid.
-
@ladybee: hospital all the way for me. And drug me up. Please and thank you.
-
@Crystal: ha that was me the first time. As soon as back labor started I was drugged.
-
@ladybee: lol! I so admire people that want to do it drug free, but I don't know if I'm capable of that. Wake me when it's over, mmmmkay?
-
@Crystal: @ladybee: I'm not gonna lie, I'm afraid, too!
