Hellobee Boards

@KaitlynB: mine just woke me up 45 minutes before my alarm! Well that and having to pee!

I think I'm ready to join now that the shock has worn off a bit. Congrats to all the Oct 2013 mommies on your BFPs!

Due Date: October 11th based on O date
Months It Took to Conceive: 6 months/4 cycles (took a 2 month break)
DPO You Found Out You Were Preggo On: 12 DPO
Symptoms That Made You Think You Were Pregnant: mild heartburn for 7 days in a row, headaches, cramping/pulling sensation, sore nipples
Child Number: 1
What You're Most Excited For: to tell friends and family
What You're Most Scared About: like most...miscarriage, but also just how much our lives will change once the baby is here.

@Mrs Spoon: Congratulations and welcome!

Today was my first Barre class since finding out about our pregnancy. HOLY COW! My abs ache, even with the modifications. I can't wait to get back to my normal low-impact classes (I'm doing a bootcamp now that ends next Tuesday).

@KaitlynB: I had cramping throughout my last pregnancy, and it always freaked me out, but once I started asking about it and looking for people talking about it, it seems way more common than I expected- lots of people have (sometimes pretty intense!) cramps with no associated problems!

@KJfromNJ: Yeah, I always want to know where I can sign up for one of those pregnancies where you have no symptoms and don't gain much weight and can't tell you're pregnant till there's a baby crowning between your legs.

@Lozza: Bwahahahaha, you can sign me up for that too. It kills me, especially because some of those women have had kids and BEEN pregnant before, and I just want to ask them, "How did you not know?"

@Lozza: I totally agree... i still have a month before my appt. other than my crazy swollen boobs my symptoms have backed off and i have no one to talk about it with other than my hubs. Thank god we are telling my parents this weekend. i'm 5 weeks today.

I feel the same way. 5 weeks in and still no real symptoms. Gagging on my prenatal vitamin every evening (gosh they're huge) and passing on wine at dinner is all I'm doing so far. We've told my immediate family but no one else. Can't wait to start feeling a bit more pregnant!

This is like the TWW on steroids. I just want to make everything is ok in there. I comfort myself with the knowledge that something must be moving along because I'm fighting the urge to vomit every other minute.

@KJfromNJ: Yikes, I'm sorry. I know my sister going through her pregnancies had migraines and high blood pressure. I'll ask her if she used any natural rememdies or if there was anything she was able to do to combat it. I hope it goes away for you.

@KJfromNJ: yikes, that sounds awful! Something that helps me when I can't take meds is to lay completely flat on the bed or couch with no pillows. It's weird, but I think it helps my neck muscles to relax. I hope you feel better soon!

Due Date: according to my calculations, October 17, but my drs. Office is saying October 20 based on lmp.

Months It Took to Conceive: This one----8 months, I think. I've lost track.
DPO You Found Out You Were Preggo On: I tested on 13 dpo, and got a shadowy line on a dollar tree test, but a digital and frer showed up instantly.
Symptoms That Made You Think You Were Pregnant: gas, bloat, headaches, heavy/full boobs, no Pms cravings, weird cramps.
Child Number: 1, here----we sadly lost our first child, our daughter at 20 weeks.
What You're Most Excited For: Being pregnant again. I'm praying for a sticky baby. I would welcome morning sickness because that would make me feel like something is going on and rally sticking around.
What You're Most Scared About: Losing another child.

We go to the doctor on March 11 and my doctor already started me on progesterone just in case, even though that wasn't my problem last time. Hoping it all works!!!!

Super excited to be here!

@Mrs Spoon: Congrats and welcome!

@Jennimac: Welcome as well!

Thanks for the headache comments guys! I feel almost normal (haha) today and I think a lot of it had to do with food choices... I am afraid the non stick-to-your-ribs foods aren't doing great... after we did errands I had some cheese and crackers and cashews... and now the thought of cashews make me nauseus... hubby got chinese for dinner and got me some, I could barely eat any chicken but rice was amazing. I'm sure this will bode well for my weight, oy.

I called the doctor this AM and they weren't concerned as long as I didn't have swelling or vision changes. Unless I have changes like that they'll just have me come in on the 19th. I would have been happy to go in and get checked out, but I'm fine with NOT too! I feel like I can breath a little today which is good.

And more huge congrats to @Jennimac: - glad to see you on here!

I purchased a roxy baby blanket like a year and a half ago... lol and since i work at a dance recital/dress up costume company i'm constantly storing cute little costumes like baby tutus and fancy dresses

@Mrs. Monkey: EXACTLY! Carbs are my nemesis. What time is it there? I haven' t been grocery shopping since getting my BFP so I'm trying to think of filling breakfasts. I used to be NOT a breakfast person at all, just maybe coffee. Now? Ice cream (1/2 pint) yseterday, currently making rice in the rice maker for today. ITS AN ISSUE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think spaghetti squash will be my saviour so I get turkey meatballs and cheese without the carbs PLEASE let my body be ok with spaghetti sqauash!!!

i've been eating a slice of cinnamon raisin swirl bread before leaving for work in the morning and once i get settled in at the office I make myself a packet of oatmeal with banana slices. I like the "weight control" oatmeal because it has higher protein and fiber and less sugar. I add milk to make it creamier but you can just do it with hot water

I guess I'm lucky with no food aversions yet (knock on wood). I eat oatmeal every morning for breakfast. It's pretty filling and has iron which I guess I'm supposed to be getting extra of these days.

@evansjamie one o f my close friends could not eat meat the whole first trimester and couldnt even cook her husband dinner with meat without getting sick. I hope you won't have it that bad!

@KaitlynB: FX it's nothing, I know that can be normal with some women. My friend told me that if you need more than a panty liner it's not normal, but panty liner or less, without cramps, is not necessarily a cause for concern. FRIEND advice not a doctor's (well I think her doc told her with her 2 pregnancies) but some food for thought
