Hellobee Boards

@cascademom: I don't think it's that bad, but write your OB if it will make you feel better! My sister had really bad congestion during pregnancy. I think she tried to use saline, but I think eventually resorted to Rhinocort (rx) and Afrin (used sparingly)... Oh actually, now I remember her diluting the Afrin in saline 1:3 or something.

@78h2o: @MrsBrewer: I did a quick email to my OB/her awesome assistant. It's okay to use. I totally forgot about the congestion that I got with pregnancy. It hit me like a ton of bricks yesterday. We had a nice outside dinner with my parents. I felt so drunk and lightheaded for someone not drinking. I'm glad to know that it's safe to use for pregnancy. Babycenter is still evil.

@hilsy85: Yes, twins would be super crazy! Although I've seen first hand that it's very doable! (my little brother and sister are twins)

@hilsy85: wow! Congratulations doll!

@hilsy85: congrats and welcome!!!!

Second beta went well, and progesterone went up enough that I don't need suppositories, although she did give me some samples. I left a message requesting the exact number.

@78h2o: now I'm allowing myself to feel a little more excited!! I have very little symptoms so far!

@hilsy85: @dc yoga bee: I am jealous of you no-symptom folks! I am soooo sleepy, even with going to bed at 9pm every night! Also, I'm taking B6/unisom and I feel like it's really helping, but the nausea is still always there. Ack!

@78h2o: I definitely do have the possibility, but I'm not sure how I would feel about twins! Granted, if I were pregnant with twins right now, I would be very excited and feel blessed, but at the same time, I don't think I'm going to hope for twins right now! LOL

@cascademom: Yeah, I would probably fall asleep at 7pm if I didn't have to stay up to get J to bed. Usually I don't get her down until 8-8:30, and then I need to pack her lunch, finish dishes/laundry/tidy up, and then I pass out. I am usually such a night owl and stay up until midnight... so, very unusual for me! I know though that sleep is key to keeping the nausea manageable. I was working full time and going to school full time last time around and I was always sicker after a less than optimal night's sleep. I know the nausea is going to get way worse, but I do think the b6/unisom is helping. I'm not crazy about taking it, and have considered forgoing it to see if it really is indeed helping, but I'm scared. Last pregnancy, I would throw up all day, including on the interstate commuting to and from work... I really don't want to revisit that!

I really don't have many symptoms yet. Only fatigue and occasional cramps. I'm considering myself lucky so far and I really don't want to jinx myself!

@hilsy85: I'm fully prepared for the next weeks to be tough. Right now, it's hovering on low grade nausea, generally eh. Today's a better day than the past few. I had a bit more energy today than a couple of days ago. Morning sickness is my reassurance with pregnancy. I'm totally okay with feeling like crap for awhile as long as the baby's okay and growing.

I am nervous to join but may as well.

Location:

EDD: June 5

How far along: just over 4 weeks

First child? #2. First is a little almost 14 month old

First doctor appointment: nothing yet

Any symptoms so far? Headaches. Sometimes my nipples are sore but no real symptoms which makes me nervous because with my son the moment the 2 lines showed I was sick.

Who have you told? Hubs and my bff.just going to keep it between us for a bit. I dont know how long I will last though. Plus my MIL lives with us will see is she catches on.

Congrats to all u June 15 mamas!

@cascademom: oh totally, I would probably feel happy if I had some sort of nausea We'll see what happens

@dc yoga bee: if you wanted to get together a due date list that would be great!! I am not at all organized with stuff like that, but I can try to help update it periodically.

There are a lot of 2nd time mamas on here, so I wanted to hear more about all your first LOs!

Age of 1st LO:
Name (if comfortable:
what is your fave thing about them:
Anything you are working on before LO2 comes:

@hilsy85: thanks!

Age of 1st LO: almost 14 months
Name (if comfortable): G
What is your favorite thing about them: right now he just cracks us up. He is the only baby around my friends and family over where I live so he is a ham. He eats up the attention and just enjoys being silly. Hearing him try to talk is also funny/cute. He is also really starting to take notice of our dog so he is LO's new buddy!
Anything you are working on before # 2 comes: nothing yet. Just trying to get into a bigger place.

@BabyMats: Congratulations!

You people are killing me wishing for nausea! Trust me, you don't want it! I don't even find it reassuring... I had it with my first pregnancy and I still had a mc at 7.5 weeks.

I will say that so far I am not as sick as I was with the first two pregnancies... hopefully it stays that way!

@hilsy85:
Age of 1st LO: She will be 22 months on Saturday.
Name: Julia
What is your fave thing about them: Gosh, this is a hard one. I guess I would say her huge heart. She has always loved animals and babies. She shares all her food with our dog (even her favorites) and is so gentle and sweet with her baby dolls. I know she will be a great big sis.

Anything you are working on before LO2 comes: We are working on potty training now... she is starting to ask to use it more and more, so I am hopeful that we can get her potty trained by the time LO2 arrives. We are going to move LO out of her room and set up a big girl room... hopefully months before baby arrives, so she doesn't feel like the baby is booting her out of her room! I'd like to have her transitioned to a big girl bed, as we plan to leave the crib in the nursery, but we'll see!

Ok, first time moms, I have some questions for you!
How long did you TTC?
How old are you (if you are comfortable answering):
How many kids do you hope to have?
What part of pregnancy are you most looking forward to?
What part of pregnancy are you most nervous about?

@78h2o: I loooove the name Julia! Actually that's on our list of baby names She is a doll!

How long did you TTC?
Just about 5 months (I have PCOS) , but I ended up getting pregnant with my first round of Clomid

How old are you (if you are comfortable answering):
I just turned 26 in July

How many kids do you hope to have?
I've always wanted a big family 4+, but I don't think that's financially feasible for DH and I. I'm thinking more along the lines of 2-3

What part of pregnancy are you most looking forward to?
Everything! I think pregnancy is such a beautiful and amazing thing! I can't wait until I finally have a noticeable bump!

What part of pregnancy are you most nervous about?
Feeling sick. My mom had the worst morning sickness when she was pregnant with me. She was sick up until she delivered, it never went away! But so far so good!

@BabyMats: congratulations!!
@78h2o: congrats onlo #2!!!!

@cascademom: congratulations!!!!!!!!!

Hello bloat! This is unreal. I'll be 5 weeks tomorrow! My undies are getting so tight. Baby must be going straight to my butt I was doing really well working out and clothes that were falling off of me are now tight. And my stomach is sticking out. Other than that, my only other symptom is going to the bathroom more frequently. How are you guys this morning?
