Hellobee Boards

@BelugaBean: yay! So glad everything is ok and you got to see the baby

@birdofafeather: sorry your appointment didn't go as you expected.. But I think that's good you got to hear the heartbeat at least. Hopefully you're more close to 7 weeks so you won't be too let down at your next US!

Don't want to jinx it, but this first trimester seemed to have flown by- can't believe I will be 12 weeks on Monday! at this point I'm just ready for everyone to know- im sick of trying to hid my increasingly growing bump! Planning on telling everyone after our US on Monday.

@birdofafeather: ugh that's annoying they couldn't give you a more definitive date, but yay for seeing the heartbeat! And I hear ya on the fatigue!!
@belugabean: so glad everything is ok!!
@NovBaby1112: I am only 10 wks thurs but I also think it's gone by fast, I think bc I had more appts this time around.

I'm stopping my estrogen and progesterone meds! I've been doing twice daily injections since the second week of January. I'm so glad to be done! I've got to get my blood drawn once more next week to be sure my body is doing what it's supposed to. I really have to trust that everything is going ok now. Maybe I'll get some feeling back at my injection sites.

@babybronco: I am so sorry, poor mama. That sounds beyond awful. Hang in there....we're rooting for you.

Have you ever checked out helpher.org? It might be a good resource for you during this time. Also, a chance to connect with other mamas who are going through the same thing. Even though it won't make you feel better, maybe some true commiseration could help, at least emotionally?

@Rainbow Sprinkles: Yes. It is a great site. I'm afraid they are leaning toward me having a case of HG.

Thanks for the encouragement all!

@birdofafeather: what is that? I'm sorry you have to wait all that time!

@Leialou: congrats!!! Does it feel more real in a way now?

@babybronco: gosh I am so sorry you're having such a rough time with m/s. Here's hoping you have the worlds easiest newborn to make up for it.

@babybronco: oh no! You poor thing, that sounds truly awful I hopeyou find some relief soon!

@Leialou: yay for no more meds! i can't even imagine, I hate shots!

@natalie403: I've told my immediate fam (mom dad and sisters) but dying to tell DHs fam and our friends! Soon enough!

@babybronco: hang in there! Praying for you!

I'm feeling okay as long as I eat something like every 2 hours if I go awhile without eating, I feel super sick! Everything sounds good to me lol, so not much help there! Not sleeping well at all- I have been waking up really early unable to fall back asleep so come 6pm I am just exhausted.

I know its early- but anyone thinking of names yet?? Boy names are soooo hard! I can't wait to find out what we are having just so we can focus on 1. We have a girls name picked out we both love (Evelyn) but boys are tough for some reason. We have totally opposite tastes I guess.

@NovBaby1112: We have had a first name picked out for each gender for the past year. I really hope we still like them in 7 months because we do not agree on most names.

@Bea: 10 wks today and so tired! Nausea hits some nights around 6 and I end up skipping dinner. Otherwise ok.

Not even thinking of names til we know the sex! (Which should be in about 2 wks hopefully!)

@NovBaby1112: I like it! Our girls name is Cecelia(/Cecilia?), which we considered for dd. Backup is Julia. boys name is after our dads. His dad's first name (he passed a few years ago) then my dads (in another language) then he would have an "ethnic" name of MIL's choosing from her heritage (dd does too) then last name. Any of our kids would have MIL choosing their second middle name to follow what we did with dd. Although hopefully we have a healthy lo in there and this will be the last.

I'm 10 weeks tomorrow and I've been feeling much better this week! Only a little nausea here and there and much less tired. Of course it made me worry, but I was able to find the baby's heartbeat on the doppler. I love that thing! As far as names go, we're pretty set on a boy and a girl name, just not sure yet on the middle name if it's a boy. Good thing we've got plenty of time

@jodyblair: I love the Doppler too...trying not to over use it, maybe every couple of days, but love having it around for when I am feeling worried.

@Bea: I have been in the same boat... cereal has been one of the only things I have been able to eat ok! Also saltines with peanut butter and pb&j sandwiches. I am also at 10 wks! Maybe try some of those?? Even if they didn't sound appetizing I was able to eat them ok!

@NovBaby1112: I always find boys names so much harder!! I love Evelyn that was my grandma's name

@jodyblair: you were able to find it on the doppler at 10 wks?? My friend gave me hers but I always assumed it was way too early to try!!!

@2littlepumpkins: I know what you mean. I'm so nervous now! It will be 3 weeks between my last RE appointment where I found out I lost a twin, to my first OB appointment. It's too long of a wait and I'm going crazy.

@2littlepumpkins: I would have been more nervous but the ultrasound tech told us yesterday that we can announce. Granted, DH asked her and what she didn't know was that we already told people. She probably thought we haven't told anyone, which isn't true. So because of that DH and I are a bit more hopeful. She said the twins are growing (exact same size) and heartbeats are strong and both were moving. But my sister's m/c at 11 weeks still makes me a bit cautious, but at the same time, I want everyone else to know. Right now, I'm staying tight lipped but it's getting harder and harder each week. Maybe I'll let the DH tell a few more people. Maybe that will help him wait 2 more weeks until we are at 12 weeks.

@2littlepumpkins: I feel like I've relaxed a bit since I'm close to 12 weeks, but then I start to get nervous about other stuff, just hoping my NT scan and blood work comes back okay...it's hard to not worry!

@natalie403: boy names are so hard- no clue why!

@Rainbow Sprinkles: yea that's tough! Your girls have such beautiful names too!

@Leialou: my appointment on Monday will be two weeks from my last (and last u/s.) I wonder if that's why I'm so nervous. I had so much going on in the earlier part of this trimester that I was getting checked on all the time.

@hilsy85: good luck Monday!

@bluestriped bee: that's great that you got some reassurance! I saw your other thread... Have you decided what you're going to do?

@NovBaby1112: true!! Last pregnancy I was more confident everything was ok. I never even googled all the different trisomies (except D.S.) A few days ago I was definitely reading up on all that stuff. I need to stay off google!
