@NorCalWayfarer: how much spotting/bleeding?

@runsyellowlites: I had super bad nip pain the last week or so but I am good this week! hope it goes away for you soon. @Bao: you saw the pic! i'm not going to be able to hide it either!@NorCalWayfarer: thoughts your way! i had major bleeding at 10 weeks with my first. it was okay in the end but so scary.

@NorCalWayfarer: hugs! Whatever you do stay off Google!

@NorCalWayfarer: that sounds just like what I had with LO, except for me it was dripping (sorry) out red. I was shaking and bawling and could barely talk to the nurse. My LO is 10.5 months and healthy as can be. Hang in there.

@NorCalWayfarer: stalking here. How are you holding up? I'm so hopeful that you have a sticky baby. Hugs, mama, and try to take it easy tonight.

@NorCalWayfarer: maybe so. I think whatever is fine, so long as you listen to your body. You're not going to make it worse-my doctor reminded me a million times that nothing I did caused the miscarriages, so don't worry about that. Hopefully you have a growing little one, and soon this is just a bad memory on the road to a very happy rest of your pregnancy!

@NorCalWayfarer: thinking of you!!!

I've been cramping off and on again today but I hope it's just normal. I go in Monday, Wednesday and Friday for hcg level testing so hopefully that will help me feel better about things. Oh and holy bloat today! Oh man it was bad!!!

Hope everyone is doing well

@NorCalWayfarer: how are you doing today??

@ChattyCathy: fingers crossed.for you too!

And congrats to all the March mamas!

@MrsRcCar: uggh! miserable stuff, no real solutions here, other than as unfortunate as it sounds, throwing up actually made me feel better, but I had incredible amounts of stomach acid

Hope everyone is doing alright today- sticky, sticky little beans please!

I had my first hunger meltdown today, we were traveling and didn't have a great eating schedule, so I got hungry and cranky and ready to cry, but got a pre-dinner slice of pizza out of it, so all got better with the world. This belly bumplet is getting out of control, I won't be able to hide this for long, I was 12-14 weeks last time it was like this-

I got called out about being pregnant at a family function last night. I tried to play it off but I'm horrible at lying. I wish even if people thought it they would keep it to themselves because obviously I'm not ready to share yet.

@bao that's so annoying! I agree that people should keep it to themselves.

@shaynanigans I asked the person at Victoria's Secret to measure me today while I was at the mall and I have already gone up a size! I think I might get some wireless bras in the size she told me just to be more comfortable.

I don't think I'm necessarily showing, but I am definitely feeling bloated and feel like my stomach area is bigger than normal. I am eating all the time (I need to eat every 2ish hours or I get ravenous, have headaches and get bad stomach pains) but have been staying around the same weight.

Luckily no sickness yet. I got nauseous and actually threw up at 6 dpo...thinking it might have been implantation sickness, but who knows! My biggest symptom outside of bloating and extreme hunger/thirst has been very sore boobs.

@Bao: I am sorry that people weren't more respectful about asking you! More people in my family found yesterday but we are a super close family, so I don't mind them knowing. They all found out around now last time too.

My mom, dad, N and I were at a family reunion yesterday and I was feeling awful! N was being a doll so that was good and my mom and dad pitched in a lot so I could do the minimum. I am hoping today goes better, we are doing family pictures and N's 9 month pictures today.

@ChattyCathy: HEre is a link to an HCG levels chart. http://www.babymed.com/hcg-level-in-early-pregnancy

I wrote on the pregnant and breastfeeding board this morning...but my boobs are killing me! I am sitting here with soothies in my bra because I am just in pain! DS clamped down on my nip last night so hard it left teeth marks and searing pain.

Not sure if I can hold out on breastfeeding another 6 weeks...it's that bad! Don't really want to switch to formula, but dang it hurts.

I am really getting big! Undeniably prego looking. Having a really hard time sleeping at night between wake ups with DS and just pregnancy insomnia (I think).

@Mrsjets: he had some at around 4 months but threw it up constantly and i just said screw this. i don't want to have to go through that again/find right formula unless i realllly have to when i can go to cows milk in about 6 weeks. it's a tough call unless i get really desperate.

Such a terrible stomach virus over here
Trying to keep as much fluid in as possible. The doctor didn't seem too worried just said to keep getting fluids.
Any tips?

@matador84: thanks!

@BLUEDIAMOND: Oh no sorry you're not feeling well. Hopefully you have plenty of broth, ginger ale and Gatorade.

@runsyellowlites: Holy cow I've been so tired today. I already took a morning nap and could fall asleep right now.

@lisamarieloves: same!! One Thursday night I didn't drink and my entire family was so suspicious until the next night when I did. So annoying! I'm going to keep faking it. Haha

@runsyellowlites: just blood today. I should get the results in an hour or less!!!

@NorCalWayfarer: well fx for you lady! Did you go today also? My lab must be so annoyed of me now, calling every hour trying to get my results.

Hello all,
De-lurking on this thread finally to maybe get some positive advice. My EDD is March 4. I'm almost 7 weeks along and feeling just. so. crummy.

I know I should be thrilled! and excited! and over the moon! (especially since this little one is over a year and a half in the making), but I just can't seem to get excited. Once MS kicked in last week, I just don't have the energy to be happy and that makes me feel even MORE terrible.

Those of you who have been here before - any words of wisdom? It gets better, right? I'm not a terrible person, am I?

Thanks and congratulations to all of us!
