I am so sorry! I always see the Jan thread when I go onto HB so I just automatically go in there! </p> <p>Long story short, I was tested for low PAPP-A which I also later realized happened in my last pregnancy. So I went from freaking out to thinking we should be okay since DD2 was obviously okay. I guess the extra scans will just be all the more reassuring! </p> <p>My big 20 week scan isn't till 10/4! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/february-2020-mamas/page/4#post-2895741 Wed, 28 Aug 2019 19:40:39 +0000 MamaJ 2895741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: we really are!</p> <p>How is everyone doing? I have a regular appointment tomorrow and my anatomy scan is at the end of sept. I’ve finally told my coworkers and family. Other than that nothing new or exciting here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/february-2020-mamas/page/4#post-2895723 Wed, 28 Aug 2019 16:41:38 +0000 Sams Mom 2895723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are slacking hardcore on this board. I know we're still in the boring stretch with monthly appointments and anatomy scan still 5+ weeks out </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/february-2020-mamas/page/4#post-2895006 Mon, 19 Aug 2019 22:42:28 +0000 Eebolleh 2895006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: diclectin/diclegis are both unisom and a bvitamin. I’ve been taking diclectin the entire pregnancy and it’s perfectly safe so unisom is safe as well. However, it made me super sleepy for a few weeks then you adjust to it, so it probably isn’t helping me sleep anymore. </p> <p>I have never slept so well since having my daughter. I lay down and sleep for a solid 8-9 hours every night. Only recently have I had to get up once at night to pee. I had a lot of insomnia with my first pregnancy, hopefully this one is better. I am starting to feel really achey and sore just from laying in my bed but I’m generally comfortable sleeping on my back. I am not looking forward to forced side sleeping. I think I’ll buy a snoogle or pregnancy pillow at that point. Sleep is too precious! </p> <p>@MamaJ: I’m still feeling pretty awful myself! I was told to try to reduce my declectin but there’s no way! Yuck. </p> <p>@graceandjoy: I kept thinking I felt flutter myself. It was that just a bowel movement? I’m not sure! Haha. I don’t recall when I first felt movement with my first baby but I had an anterior placenta last time and I have a posterior placenta this time. I’m hoping I feel kicks soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/february-2020-mamas/page/4#post-2894624 Thu, 15 Aug 2019 08:15:24 +0000 graceandjoy 2894624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: LOL! I hope Unisom helps somewhat!<br /> And aww to the flutters! I've felt random things here &amp; there but didn't pay attention enough or just thought they were gas, haha! </p> <p>@MamaJ: Oh wow, "might" have seen is so hard to really confirm! But I'm glad singleton is doing well! And I'm sorry for the sheer exhaustion... I feel ya and hope it gets a little better as time goes on!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/february-2020-mamas/page/4#post-2894609 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 19:37:08 +0000 MamaJ 2894609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>👋🏻 Oh hi. I’ve been really MIA. Things have been crazy at work plus my exhaustion. I just barely make it through the evenings before I crash. </p> <p>On my 8 week ultrasound they might have seen a vanishing twin. At my 12 week scan they said there was only one baby. Still have no clue if it was a vanishing twin or not. </p> <p>I am still feeling super sick. I’m also struggling with sleep at times and my doc said no to melatonin. Interesting how some agree and some don’t. Glad I’m not alone on the sleep issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/february-2020-mamas/page/4#post-2894608 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 19:08:14 +0000 Sams Mom 2894608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I just felt my first flutters 😱 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/february-2020-mamas/page/4#post-2894607 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 18:36:02 +0000 Sams Mom 2894607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@graceandjoy: so the nurse (not his usual) emailed me back. She said Unisom, melatonin, or Tylenol PM. Melatonin and Benadryl don't work for me, so I imagine the Tylenol PM won't either.</p> <p>She also suggested a long walk in the evening to make sure I'm tired, ummmm I don't need a walk to make me exhausted... 😂 Lady, it's like 85% humidity here with triple digit heat indexes, there is no walking right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/february-2020-mamas/page/4#post-2894550 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 11:26:05 +0000 graceandjoy 2894550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: I also remember someone told me if you really need extra help, sudafed (sp?) should be okay too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/february-2020-mamas/page/4#post-2894547 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 11:21:59 +0000 Sams Mom 2894547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@graceandjoy: I know they told me I could take it with B6 to help with nausea, forgot it's actually for sleep </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/february-2020-mamas/page/4#post-2894544 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 11:08:55 +0000 graceandjoy 2894544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: btw I think unisom is safe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/february-2020-mamas/page/4#post-2894525 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 08:45:08 +0000 graceandjoy 2894525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: Ugh, I'm no help but I def had bouts of really bad pregnancy insomnia recently and it really sucks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/february-2020-mamas/page/4#post-2894516 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 08:01:48 +0000 Sams Mom 2894516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pregnancy safe sleep aids?

Boys are great (maybe a little biased because that's all I have). I don't know what it's like with little girls, but my son is stuck a mommy's boy (I love it now, but won't let it continue into adulthood 😂). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/february-2020-mamas/page/3#post-2894276 Mon, 12 Aug 2019 09:10:23 +0000 graceandjoy 2894276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Eebolleh: So glad you had a good time with your family! I keep saying I'm much better too (which I am), but I also did dry-heaved for like 5 min this morning from brushing my teeth soo.... </p> <p>Btw, we're having a boy :happy: </p> <p>:heart: Feb &amp; Mar Due Date Roll Call :heart:</p> <p>2/11: ROSERED879 (#1)<br /> 2/12: MAMAJ (#2)<br /> 2/15: GRACEANDJOY (#3) :boy:<br /> 2/21: EEBOLLEH (#2)<br /> 2/25: SAMS MOM (#2) :teamgreen:<br /> 3/4: JOMARMA (#2)<br /> 3/9: PHILLYBABY2013 (#3)<br /> 3/11: CHERESHAE (#2)</p> <p>Keeping our angel baby (&amp; mama) in our :heart:<br /> DINOSAURGIRAFFEFOX </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/february-2020-mamas/page/3#post-2894152 Fri, 09 Aug 2019 23:55:13 +0000 Eebolleh 2894152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry everyone! I have been so busy, we had a family staycation this week. We had great weather and my husband finally got to get a break from his stressful work. I had to go back to work for 3/4 of a day today and then we had our FTS. Baby is totally a baby now, but just a little peanut. Screening was perfect and baby is something like 90th percentile for CRL. I am convinced I’m going to have a giant boy baby this time. I’m 5’3 and like 110 lbs and my husband is 6’4. My daughter was already 8 lbs, I’m anticipating a 10lb boy. Eeep! </p> <p>They couldn’t say if it was a boy or girl yet, so I need to wait until October for confirmation. </p> <p>I am starting to feel... a little better? Sort of? I actually feel horrible right now, but I’m feeling decent during the daytime. I’m getting a little more energy back as well, and I’ve been able to tackle a few projects during nap times recently. We just took apart our guest room to make way for the nursery. We also needed to purge a few closets to get all our clothes into the master bedroom closet. I’m starting to feel like I’m able to shake off the first trimester blahs. </p> <p>I also registered to get a midwife instead of my family doctors. I hated the process last time, so I’m hoping the midwife is a more natural process. I ran out of diclectin and I called my midwife, spoke to the midwife after a single ring and they called my refill in for me on the spot! I haven’t even met with her yet but they seem really awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/february-2020-mamas/page/3#post-2894095 Fri, 09 Aug 2019 12:09:24 +0000 graceandjoy 2894095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:heart: Feb &amp; Mar Due Date Roll Call :heart:</p> <p>2/11: ROSERED879 (#1)<br /> 2/12: MAMAJ (#2)<br /> 2/15: GRACEANDJOY (#3)<br /> 2/21: EEBOLLEH (#2)<br /> 2/25: SAMS MOM (#2)<br /> 3/4: JOMARMA (#2)<br /> 3/9: PHILLYBABY2013 (#3)<br /> 3/11: CHERESHAE (#2)</p> <p>Keeping our angel baby (&amp; mama) in our :heart:<br /> DINOSAURGIRAFFEFOX </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/february-2020-mamas/page/3#post-2894094 Fri, 09 Aug 2019 12:08:57 +0000 graceandjoy 2894094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rosered879: Yay congratulations!

Like I couldn't sleep unless I ate something. I was looking at my phone for hrs when I couldn't sleep, but now I try not to pick up my phone and just force myself to rest even if I'm not asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/february-2020-mamas/page/3#post-2893927 Thu, 08 Aug 2019 09:30:28 +0000 Sams Mom 2893927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@graceandjoy: I am 10 weeks tomorrow by ovulation and 10+2 by LMP. I am counting down to the second tri when all the magical feeling better starts.</p> <p>My son woke me up at 12:30 last night because he had to pee and is "afraid of the dark" (he is using it as an excuse here lately, even though he gets up by himself most nights). I turn on my phone light, he goes pee, I can't go back to sleep. I realize I'm starving, so I get a giant bowl of fruit loops at like 1, and stay up until almost 2 because I can't sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/february-2020-mamas/page/3#post-2893925 Thu, 08 Aug 2019 09:22:52 +0000 Sams Mom 2893925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:heart: Feb &amp; Mar Due Date Roll Call :heart:</p> <p>2/12: MAMAJ (#2)<br /> 2/15: GRACEANDJOY (#3)<br /> 2/21: EEBOLLEH (#2)<br /> 2/25: SAMS MOM (#2)<br /> 3/4: JOMARMA (#2)<br /> 3/9: PHILLYBABY2013 (#3)<br /> 3/11: CHERESHAE (#2)</p> <p>Keeping our angel baby (&amp; mama) in our :heart:<br /> DINOSAURGIRAFFEFOX </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/february-2020-mamas/page/3#post-2893923 Thu, 08 Aug 2019 09:19:21 +0000 graceandjoy 2893923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: So now I'm 12.5 weeks and I do feel better, so hopefully you will start to! I always felt sick in the mornings and evenings and now that seems alleviated. But already getting up to pee at least 1-2x at night then have trouble falling back asleep even though I'm so tired! I also seem to be entering the "eat everything in sight" phase lol. </p> <p>I told my boss yesterday and a few other people at work. I feel SO awkward telling everyone though, so now I'm just letting the bump hang out and wait for people to realize, haha. I can't remember how I've told people the last 2 times either... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/february-2020-mamas/page/3#post-2893917 Thu, 08 Aug 2019 08:22:41 +0000 Sams Mom 2893917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so tired of being tired 😴 Even though I know I'm years out from good sleep. </p> <p>How is everyone else doing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/february-2020-mamas/page/3#post-2893850 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 13:32:41 +0000 graceandjoy 2893850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: I know, I always have to dig this one up haha!
