Hellobee Boards

@Rescuemom10: Welcome.

i've been super bloated too as well as being hungry ALL THE TIME. i've always needed breakfast first thing in the morning, but i'm waking up in the middle of the night with my stomach hurting, i have to be eating something ever hour at work and i feel like i'm never full. except for yesterday. we had a memorial day bbq at my neighbors' house and i was scared of being hungry, so i ate before i went and then ate there. and then i felt sick because i ate so much. got by without drinking by saying i was wiped out from being in the sun all day at the beach.

U/S on thursday! hope everything went well today green grass!!

OK...I'm ready to update now. We had quite a shock at our appt today. We have FOUR babies! 1 embryo is normal and the other split into triplets. It's really rare and we are in quite a major amount of shock. The triplets will be at high risk of miscarriage and a quad pregnancy is extremely dangerous - so we have some thinking to do. I've already dealt with the repercussions of saying so on my blog so I'm a bit scared about saying so on a wider forum like this, but I have to think about my safety and the safety of my baby(ies) so I hope everyone will be supportive.

@Mrs Green Grass: Wishing you guys the absolute best with everything, no matter what. Wow, just wow!

@Mrs Green Grass: Best of Luck to you. You need to make the best choice for you and your family. Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy which ever way your path takes you. So sorry to hear that people are giving you their opinions rather than support.

@Mrs Green Grass: WOW. amazing! ignore those stupid people (especially anonymous losers)... I saw that on your blog.... Do what's best for you, your body & your family!!!! A friend of mine is a high-risk OB specifically dealing with multiples and people do this all of the time, but very few openly discuss it.

@Mrs Green Grass: Thoughts and prayers are with you! We are here for you!!!!

Our second ultrasound went great today, we are measuring right on schedule and got some great pics. Heartbeat was 164. I'm so relieved. We've been released from the RE to the OB.

@Mrs Green Grass: Wow, what surprising news! I wish you all luck and send lots of support your way!

@kayakgirl73: Congrats! Glad all is well.

I'm a little concerned that they didn't tell me anything about heartbeat speed yesterday. They also were all measuring a bit small. I have no idea if that's normal for quads or what (the singleton was bigger than the trips). The NP didn't seem slightly concerned.

Can't wait until next week!

And thanks for all of the support.

@Mrs Green Grass: Wow! What a big surprise! Will be thinking of you guys and wish you luck, no matter what!

@Jumping Jacks: YES! I am burning up all the time! Usually at night my husband is the one who is hot and I'm all covered up. Last couple of weeks, I'm kicking off the blankets while he's all wrapped up.

I'm 7w5d. First appointment is on Monday and I can't wait! I don't really "feel" pregnant, so I'm anxious to get some confirmation. I'm crazy bloated and my boobs are just barely tender. Other than that, I feel pretty normal!

had our dating U/S yesterday and LO is measuring right on track for EDD January 15th! so I'm 7w3d.

it was fun to see the HB blinking at us. We go back in a month. It's gonna feel like forever getting to that appt!

still really hungry all the time and bloated. trying to get a lot of sleep and snack on good things throughout the day as well as drink a ton of water.

@heartsnsunshine: yes, it will be transvaginal. I almost forgot to give my husband a heads up...he needed to be prepared for that!

@dagret: Thanks for the input .... I definitely explained to DH about it.... He was a little weirded out about lol....

January 9 due date for me! I think that will be adjusted, as my doc figured that off LMP, and I actually ovulate late in my cycle. As we progress, I bet it's going to be around Jan 12 (huge difference, right?

Right now, the evening bloat is killing me. DH wants to take weekly pictures of my belly (which shows nothing but bloat right now - I'm only 8w2d) but I keep telling him it has to be first thing in the morning before I blow up like a balloon.

I've also noticed that if I don't eat every few hours, I am suddenly a Hoover capable of sucking up all food in Texas. Seriously. It happened yesterday - we went to the store to pick up something for dinner, and I had to get something to snack on for the trip home, or I was going to gnaw my own arm off.

Congrats to all the January mamas!

@BlueWolverine: Did you mention your ovulation time to your dr.? I'm the same way, I ovulated much later in my cycle they gave me a EDD of jan. 13th but according to my ovulation and BD timing its more like Jan. 18th....

I had ultrasounds at 6 and 8 weeks but that was because I was under the care of an RE. We were battling IF and are pregnant as a result of IUI. It must stink not to have seen anything yet. Hang in there everyone.

My first OB appointment is Friday. They just called to confirm. They will be giving me a thumb drive of information. Wowza.

@Mrs Green Grass: i'll be thinking about you today! hope everything is okay and you get the answers you need to make whatever decision you need to to have a healthy pregnancy and baby/babies.
