Hellobee Boards

@Mrs. Pen: I have belly bands and I hate them. That's why I just bought shorts. For days before I was walking around with my shorts completely unbuttoned haha! And gym good job. I feel so sick I can hardly move all day!

@Weswife: what's wrong with nacho cheese sauce??

@Weswife: I'm actually completing a whole 30 I started before I found out I was pregnant. It's been tough with my food aversions. But I have been drinking kombucha and that's technically not allowed cause there's not enough studies to say if it's safe or not. But my doctor didn't exactly say no when I asked her haha..

Oh believe me, I haven't made it to the gym much in the last couple weeks! Most days just going to work is a huge accomplishment. So when I make it, I'm super proud and feel good about myself

Girls have any if you had trouble flossing or brushing your teeth? The past two nights flossing makes me gag and tonight I actually threw up intensely from flossing one tooth... That's all I got to! And brushing my teeth hurts... A few days ago my teeth became so sensitive on the outside by my cheeks it hurts to brush! Is this normal?

Well, hey there, ladies - hope you guys don't mind if I jump in! My due date was waffling a little between the end of Feb and the beginning of March, but my appointment today says it's definitely March 5, so I'm gonna jump in over here.

Location: Eastern Massachusetts

EDD: March 5

How far along: 9w4d

First child? No, I have a one-year-old son

First doctor appointment: NT scan is scheduled for Aug 22

Any symptoms so far? Nausea, but my morning sickness isn't nearly as bad this time around as it was with my son!

Who have you told? My husband's family, my two BFFs, and my last due date group

@raspberries: congrats and welcome!!

@LoveHope: I hate brushing my teeth

@raspberries: yep! I am doing this in 2 weeks. I am also debating planning on CVS (I'm 39 years old) but I think I am leaning against it..

@raspberries: we aren't actually sure on mine. It was the 15th based off the app! But at my first appt. she got three measurements and it was ranging from March 18-20. Three pictures and one says the 18, one the 19, and one the 20 lol!!! So I am hoping at our appt. on Tuesday we get a better idea!

@raspberries: I'm not sure on my due date! We can stick with the 20th for now haha. During my ultrasound it was the 25th, but she said at only around seven weeks even the dating ultrasounds aren't super accurate cause it's difficult to get a good visual on the baby. So at my 20 week scan I'm sure I'll find out more. Based on LMP and conception date, my EDD is the 20th.
A difference of five days isn't a huge deal but it will feel like it at 38-40 weeks!

@Mrs. Pen: Gotcha - I'll update your due date after your next scan if they change it. (Is your next ultrasound at 20 weeks for sex? Do you get out of the 12 week NT scan, or did they just do that at your last one?) That's totally a good reminder that due dates are just a suggestion and totally not accurate, haha!

@LoveHope: congrats!! Best sound ever!

@Weswife: Oh, I know the feeling . I have to brush my teeth quickly so I don't get sick. Oh, the joy lol

Does anyone else's hospital do an pre-intake meeting class? Mine did, and I went today and ended up switching from OB to a midwife group within the same hospital! I am happy I did and was able to learn what a midwife was and the differences. Plus, I live 45 minutes from The hospital and appointments will now be every 6 weeks versus 4.

Oh my gosh I'm so so so bloated too. I look really pregnant right now and I'm only 9 weeks!
This was a really rough week, I had to miss 2 days of work I was so sick, feeling better today though.
I haven't been to the gym in 2 weeks it's closed this weekend for a competition, but I'm really hoping on Monday to get back. I have 7 days off starting on Sunday, so I'm going to try really hard to get back into a routine. My pass is wayy too expensive to not use for 2 weeks!
@raspberries: welcome! Thanks for making the due day list! Even though I'm due on March 12, I'm guessing I'll have my baby on feb 23

@mrsmacSLP: not really. I was 45 minutes away the first time too. But I didn't go into labor, I was induced so it turned out to be a non issue.
My sister delivered the same place, same distance, for the first she arrived with plenty of time. Her second was much faster, and she delivered less than twenty minutes after arriving!
I won't let myself worry I guess haha- not too productive.
Two hours is pretty far though!!
I can't remember, is this your first l?

@MrsB2012: oh hunny, I need to workout too! I just havent had the energy

@Mrs. Pen: I was induced the first time around too. I'm a little worried about labor starting naturally this time around, since I've never had contractions without piton before.

@MrsB2012: If I have this baby on the same day that I had my son (38w1d) then he'll be born on Feb 20th!

@Weswife: Hope your appt goes well! I have the same issue - I had bought a (pretty expensive) dress last time and justified it by saying I'd def be able to wear it while pregnant since the stomach area was flowy, but it was my boobs that didn't fit anymore!

@raspberries: yup same here. I'm also really anxious about the possibility of needing to be induced. So far my blood pressure is great and I hope I can keep managing it well. Unfortunately, my BP is only managed well when I eat really strictly healthy and work out. I'm doing the best I can right now, but it's gonna be hard.

@mrsmacSLP: ewwww that is disgusting. My first wave of nausea was when I was performing wound care to this para I see.. And there was this disgusting discharge and I almost lost it. Thankfully the pt didn't notice and I held it together.

@lilyann: it's at 7:45 tomorrow!!! I'm nervous!!
