Hellobee Boards

@IRunForFun: @madger: I run too, but am definitely anti do anything while preggo, so have done no running since finding out. My do nothing is still pretty active, so I don't get myself too down about no working out while preggo.

I was with my bff today, sooooo hard not to tell her, but I want to be with our DHs and after u/s and we see hb (hopefully!) Tuesday.

@Tanjowen: Praying for your little bean

@sunnyday: I was with my Mom and sister last night and kept it a secret. So hard!

I had told 3 friends by now... This time around I just don't really care about the "12 week rule" anymore. Last time, I did FB annoucement of an ultrasound with "it's a girl! coming winter 2014" some time after we found out the gender.

This time, we'll probably announce around the same time and just put DD in a big sister shirt.

@IRunForFun: Yes. It is totally normal. Mine are short like that too.

One more week till ultrasound! Sometimes I feel like I'm not really pregnant b/c we haven't even see/heard the baby!

And I neeeed 1st trimester to be over... Sometimes I sleep as early as 8pm and STTN and still feel tired!

@faithlove224: I am having this too and sometimes it feels literally like I am bleeding (but I am not). Really weird sensation.

My doctor said it was completely normal and to expect it

u/s tomorrow!!! I am pretty excited, but anxious too. Desperate to see a little flicker of a hb! DH is taking the afternoon off work and coming. Should time out okay to get kids from daycare after it's done.

Holiday Monday here today, going to my parents for bbq when kids wake from naps, I just had a quick power nap instead of being productive around the house, knowing I will need the energy while at their place. They would be like wtf if I was conked on couch, like I have been in eaRly evening lately.

@sunnyday: Aww that's so great!! Glad you had a good appt and finally got to see the baby!

@snowjewelz: I've turned our basement into a dumping ground, it's actually scary, lol. I need daytime hours without kids to plow through it, I have Friday off and kids in daycare, so hoping then...until then.....ruins here too!

@sunnyday: Aww hooray! Sweet little bean!

@snowjewelz: @sunnyday: Yes, I am already feeling overwhelmed thinking of going through old baby stuff! I bet (hope) once we get out of the first tri everything will seem a little easier/less exhausting.

Soooo tomorrow is my first doc appointment! I'm a little nervous even though it's just the blood work stuff.
I've been so anxious lately. I've been pregnant before (8 years ago) but had a MC (so no kiddos yet). I just have so many feelings. I want to be super excited but I'm only letting it go so far.
Maybe I'll feel better after tomorrow's appointment.. I dunno.
Also.. glad to know crampy feelings are normal, I've been obsessing!
Oh. And I'm tearing up just writing this. I think my emotions are going into overdrive.

@IRunForFun: Not until about 9 weeks! My doctor usually does 8, but they were all booked up. It's going to be a tough wait but I'm excited to (hopefully) see a nice clear picture at that time.

@mybell208: The first trimester is always so nerve wracking. I hope you are able to stay calm and peaceful and that you have a GREAT doctor appointment!

@mybell208: hope your appointment goes well!

I had my 1st appointment this morning. Doctor said everything look good. My cervix was nice and closed. Said I was really pregnant, my uterus is sitting right on top of my bladder. That explains why I pee every 20 mins. Then just did some blood work. I go back on 6/8, 9w exactly, for an ultrasound. Fingers crossed DH can be home that week and can come. Then I will go back at 10 weeks for the harmony test. But since I am over 35 I will go to another doctor for an ultrasound at 12 weeks and will even have my anatomy one there as well. She said that is the only abnormal procedure (verses last time) I will have since I am over 35, unless something comes up. She said that she has zero concerns about my pregnancy since I had such a great one last time and I am perfectly healthy. So that was nice to hear.

@snowjewelz @babypugs @sunnyday @smurfette - thanks for the support! My appointment was pretty uneventful, which is what I expected, so I'm not sure why I was nervous. I just had blood drawn & urinalysis, no exam. I will go back in 2 weeks for my ultrasound. My NP gave me an updated due date of Jan 15th which is only a day difference.

Hi, I'm brand new to this board. I just found out I'm pregnant and seem to have JUST made the cusp by having a Jan 29, 2017 due date

Location: Bay Area, California
EDD: Jan 29, 2017
How far along: 4 weeks
First child? Yes!
First doctor appointment: Yes, mostly to confirm I'm pregnant, still yet to do any real tests.
Any symptoms so far? Not really, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Who have you told? One of my best friends who is about to give birth, since I had so many questions for her!

Is anyone going with a midwife vs. an OB?

@irunforfun -- A few of my friends have used a midwife (or about to), and I'm considering it myself. I hope you're able to go the route you want!

@MrsCDH: we didn't tell anyone until our first ultrasound (including our parents) with our first, and we are going to do the same this time around. luckily, my practice does a dating ultrasound around 8 weeks, so I didn't have to keep it a secret forever! We told our parents and siblings and a small handful of friends after that first scan, everyone else around 13 weeks, and posted it on FB after the anatomy scan with our first.

@norcal_gal: Welcome!! I'm from the east coast but love the bay area!!

@mybell208: Haven't seriously considered a midwife, but I am going to a new OB this time and I hope I like her! I do have one other doc I can check out but I hope I won't have to!

@MrsCDH: Depends what you are doing those 2 weeks... Will people want to go drinking? Make you eat a lot of unsafe foods? I'd say if it's just a week or two just hang in there, but sometimes it's hard! I outed myself to my boss at 8 weeks b/c I was so miserable at work and he thought I was upset at him!

Should not have worn this maxi dress today... I look SO pregnant (partly b/c my stomach never shrunk back to what it was), I have to really suck it in when walking around...
