Hellobee Boards

For those of you that took diclegis did you feel tired all day after taking it? I don't know if I should blame my current exhaustion on pregnancy or the medicine.
Also I want melted cheese, of the mozzarella stick variety

@KNS: so far iI'm not noticing too much of a difference other then being really tired.

Location: Arkansas

EDD: November 17

First child? 2nd!

Any symptoms? so much nausea. Had a rough weekend with some vomiting. Breast pain early on but has gone away now.

Who have you told? Husband and immediate family. We were going to wait until after the first trimester but had to be around both sides over the weekend for my birthday and there was no way to keep the nausea and vomiting hidden.

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? I had zero morning sickness with LO1 and this is making me miserable. My first appointment is next week and I'm nervous. Just hope all is as it should be.
It took a couple years and clomid to conceive our first. This one I was supposed to start clomid again that cycle but I decided to push it back a month or two and ending up conceiving anyway. So it was a shock that it happened naturally for us.

Hope everyone is feeling well or at least hanging in there!

@mrsbubbletea: I am embracing the rubber band trick on my jeans right now and changing into comfy pants the min I get home.

@snarkybiochemist: I have never tried that. It sounds so uncomfortable to me, unless I used like a scrunchy. Lol! My jeans feel ok until I sit down. So I can imagine that a rubber band would just cut right into my stomach when I sit down.

ETA I luckily barely have to wear real clothes since I wear scrubs to work!!

@snarkybiochemist: when I unzip my pants in the car (lol) the zipper always bothers me!

I love seeing all the new November 2017 moms joining!

I just finished my first ultrasound. Baby is measuring right on track, 8 weeks 3 days, with a heartbeat of 160. I literally cried in my car afterwards as I am so happy.

It makes the horrible nausea/vomitting worth it! How is everybody's morning sickness going?

@SugarMaple: Congrats! So wonderful to see your bean!

@mrsbubbletea: @knittylady: @snarkybiochemist: Thank you!

I am trying the b6/unisom combo at home. I did get a script for compazine from the NP that did my intake, but I'm nervous about taking it after seeing the side effects / risks. I haven't filled it and probably won't unless I get dehydrated (and talk to my primary doc). YES, to getting through the feeling crappy part-- it will be worth it!

@Shopoholicmom: amazing! So happy to see all these healthy reports

Thanks ladies!

Side question - does anyone know why my "reply" button doesn't work? I can't even click it to generate the "@username." Thoughts?

@Shopoholicmom: yay!

Location: New Jersey (Philly 'burbs)
EDD: November 24th
First child? THIRD!
Any symptoms? Not really - I'm tired, but I have 2 toddlers, so I'm pretty sure that is just standard operating procedure. No nausea or food aversions like I had my first 2 pregnancies. Mildly irritated (but like I said before 2 toddlers, not a lot of sleep = irritation) Some bloating, some twingy cramps. Nothing that if I didn't have a positive HPT would alert me to being pregnant.
Who have you told? More people than I thought I would - basically everyone except immediate family and close friends (we're working out -> in apparently). I told a lot of people at work, my mom friends from my 1st pregnancy, and a handful of randos (my accountant, personal trainer, etc.)
Current thoughts/feelings/fears? - I have been referring to this baby as a she since the moment I found out I was pregnant but symptoms are unlike either my previous pregnancies (one of each b/g)
My first OB appt is April 6th - we plan to tell our families at the holidays (Easter/Passover) - I'm excited and nervous about having THREE! Happy to be joining the November 2017 Mama group!

@Jennibenni: Yes. I am chewing gum at work right now, which I NEVER do. But...yuck.

Also, I have felt better today (morning sickness wise) than I have in weeks. All thanks to the million carbs I ate so far. I tried to each a normal lunch (salad/veggies) and threw it up. I may just eat a loaf of bread a day and call it good

@Jennibenni: I seem to have a lot of extra saliva and it has a gross taste. I hate chewing gum b/c the flavor goes away so fast but it does help for the few minutes the strong flavor is present.
@MomBrarian: Welcome
I am in the Philly 'burbs on the PA side

@MomBrarian: Welcome and congrats! I feel you on the chasing 2 kids exhaustion LOL. My symptoms this time are MUCH milder as well, which is a very good thing. If it wasn't for the huge bloated belly and sore boobs I would be pretty worried about this little bean. I have told a lot of people now too!

@snarkybiochemist: preggie pops helped me for nausea but ended up making my teeth hurt

@snarkybiochemist: When I had HG with my second they recommended ice cubes. Frozen stuff helps apparently. I really liked lime popsicles because they were frozen but had the fruity tart thing that preggie pops offered.

6 weeks today and the nausea is definitely stepping it up! I am just super mindful about not letting my tummy get too empty. I hope it doesnt get much worse, that would be nice!

@Jennibenni: maybe I'll give them a try

Getting nervous for my ultrasound tomorrow, no reason to worry but I can't seem to help myself.
