Hellobee Boards

@Eko: Awesome!! Yay for a great appointment.

Location: Suburbs of Chicago (IL)

EDD: June 2

How far along: 10 weeks

First child? Nope. Already have a 13 month old boy!

First doctor appointment: End of October. Had my dating ultrasound 10/27.

Any symptoms so far? So. Much. Nausea.

Who have you told? Close family and friends

Other fun things to note, I was still nursing baby #1 and had inly had 1 period since he was born. I truly thought I was further along than I am! Also, congrats everyone!!

@Meltini: Congrats and welcome!! So did you just recently find out you were pregnant???

@78h2o: I didn't think x-rays were needed for a crown? I have to have one replaced within the next couple of weeks.

@LindsayInNY: My dentist requires an x-ray. They say they need to be able to confirm proper placement before using the permanent cement. ETA: my dentist said x-Rays are fine during any trimester...it's just that I don't feel comfortable with it. I asked my OB about anesthetic, but not x-rays (since I didn't expect I'd need them) and she said no anesthetic during first tri. Again, my dentist said they have an anesthetic that is ok at any point, but I didn't feel comfortable. I think it's Cat C.

I got my crown put back on today, again with temporary cement, but I just pressed on it with my tongue and it feels loose. So annoyed!

@78h2o: I had a root canal there so I don't think I have to worry about anesthesia. I mentioned being pregnant since I have a cleaning scheduled and they noted no X-rays but didn't say anything about the crown. I guess we'll see! Mine's about 12 years old, fell out a year ago when I ate a stale AirHead (ugh). Was cemented back and has been okay until a couple weeks ago. It's come out while eating (so gross) and I'm afraid I'm gonna swallow it or something. Co-insurance goes up next year so now I have no choice but to replace it. And it's not cheap! Ugh!

@BabyMats: I was eating lots of fruits & veggies and on a healthy kick too... And now all of it makes me gag! @LindsayInNY @dc yoga bee I've started the BRAT diet (minus the bananas... I couldn't eat it) & it's been helpful. I can basically only stomach snacks warm food is yucky at the moment

@Meltini: @lisa1783: welcome!
@eko: glad your appt went well!

@Eko: glad your appt went well!

Just left a good checkup. Strong heartbeat and measuring just slightly ahead of EDD. Such a relief. I've been so much more nervous this pregnancy than with LO1.

@Mrs.KMM: just thinking about you and wondering how did your appointment go?

@BabyMats: thanks!

@Eko: so glad the US went well for you! has your spotting stopped? Mine is still on and off.

I've been eating bad foods too...like french fries and chicken nuggets, ah!

@MrsKMM: my doctor said B6 is fine. Just break up the pills to take a smaller amount. Sometimes it comes in 100 or 200mg which is too much. I read a couple journal articles on it and am comfortable taking up to 100 per day. I don't know how much of an effect it has, but it's worth a try. I am so sorry you are feeling miserable. I have definitely cried due to nausea once or twice this pregnancy and I know last time, when I didn't really take meds for nausea, I cried on a daily basis. I spent so many mornings/nights sleeping on the bathroom floor. Ugh! I can say from experience though, it's worth it.

@lisa1783: welcome!

@Jess1483: thinking about you today! Hope you have a great appointment. What time is it?

@LindsayInNY: I am not really showing at all. The bloat gets the better of me sometimes, but really no bump or belly to speak of. Also, I have been fairing well as far as symptoms go. I don't really have m/s, just fatigue, sore boobs, and lots of gas, which is really attractive. I like to think that my year of taking prenatals before actually getting ku helped, but maybe it's good genetics.

@LindsayInNY: I think sometimes too the fatigue can be blamed on the workday. Some days the fatigue feels like I had a long day at work, but I'll notice it when some days i need to go to bed at like 8 or I struggle to get up in the morning. The bloat I just notice more if I wear some of my tighter jeans. DH says he doesn't notice either. I would count your blessings on not feeling too miserable, as hard as that sounds. After have a couple good u/s appointments, I am feeling really happy I lucked out on symptoms so far.

@LindsayInNY: I'm a little bigger to begin with (size 16) but I'm definitely not showing yet, but I know I'm not able to button my pants. I have a feeling that it's only because of bloat though. I don't think I have any sort of baby bump yet.

As far as symptoms, I was really only nauseated for 1-2 weeks between weeks 6-7, and now (9.5 weeks) it's completely gone for me! Other than that I don't have many other symptoms!

@LindsayInNY: That was all I had really as well. You could just be lucking out too!

@Eko: After this whole IF journey, I wouldn't mind lucking out somewhere

@Jess1483: Good luck today!!!

Sorry - I didn't get back on the computer last night but my appointment yesterday afternoon went well! Baby is measuring 2-3 days small but my OB wasn't at all concerned (he said the error at this point is +/- 3 days anyways) and we could definitely see the little heart beating away. So cool! He also said I have a small bleed (but I haven't had any spotting). Again - not concerned by it. And we confirmed that there is just 1 in there!

@LindsayInNY: No symptoms here either - some days I feel really tired and some of it might be bump related but I think it's more trying to reason with a 2.5 year old why he can't have ketchup and candy for dinner.
