Hellobee Boards

@futuremama: thank you!! How are you feeling, lucky baby buddy?

@LovelyPlum: I feel like poo I took a four hour nap yesterday afternoon and still slept for 8 hours last night. Then my vitamins made me sick this morning. This nausea is brutal, but I'll take it because I didn't have any symptoms with #1 or 2.

@luckypenny: somewhere northeast fl- Atlantic beach, jax, or st augustine. Where are you from there?

@Dandelion: I have one scheduled for the 19th, but I might also be going in this week to follow up from my ER adventure last week. I've already had an ultrasound, courstesy of the ER as well, but clearly they didn't see anything-I was 4+3 when they did it. Not sure when my next us will.be, but I will be 7 weeks at my appt.

@futuremama: meeee toooo! Like seriously, gross. But I'm counting my blessings, because this is all.pretty new and different!

@cmbknyc: I like the pregnancy confirmation appointment...it's nice to have someone tell you you're not crazy and that this is for real, lol

@luckypenny: my doctor said anywhere between six and eight weeks was normal. I just couldnt get in earlier because he is out of town! It sounds to me like you should be fine, but if you want to call, it can't hurt, right?

@SupernovaJ: yay more April mama's!!! Welcome and congratulations

Hi! I am new to the boards!

EDD if you have one: April 13th
When Did You Find Out?: 3 days before my missed period
Child Number: One
Where You Live: ND
What kind of provider will you see?: I am seeing a regular MD who will transfer me out to an OBGYN in the late weeks of my pregnancy
When's Your First Appointment?: I had my blood test on the 1st, but my first appt to just talk to the Dr. is Thursday
What kind of birth do you want?: I would like natural, but I am open to meds/other so long as both me and baby are healthy
What You're Most Excited For: Finding out the sex!
What You're Most Scared About: Miscarriage and labor
Symptoms so far: Extreme fatigue, cravings, slight bouts of nausea throughout the day
Any fun plans for the end of summer/fall?: I am going on a business trip to Alabama end of September, but other than that I have nothing going on

@SupernovaJ: congrats and welcome! I suffer from fomo too lol. Good thing is I've been too tired to care lately! Lol plus baby can make a pretty good excuse!
@megz06: congratulations!

@luckypenny: that'll be nice to visit jax for thanksgiving. A lot closer to drive then NJ! I love veto, it's so pretty down there. I have close friends that live in Melbourne so we sometimes head to vero to play

@SupernovaJ: hey there! Glad you decided to join
@megz06: welcome to HB! And congrats!

So my good news of the day: my hcg was 495 on Saturday, up from 214 on Thursday. I was anxious to get the number, but I am so happy with it! Also, it looks like they want to do an ultrasound next Monday to check things out. OK by me-I will be six weeks and will hopefully get to see a heartbeat! My last six week scan went horribly wrong, so I am super excited to have a good one. I'm hopeful. This pregnancy feels so different than the last two! Five weeks today

Do anyone else's ab muscles hurt all the time? I know they are stretching, but I'm a little surprised at how quickly it has happened. Maybe because this is the third? Not sure, but it seriously feels like I've done about 500 sit ups every day for the last week. I have actually considered buying one of.those compression bands just so my ab muscles don't have to work so hard at the end of the day. Pathetic? Maybe. But I'm over it

Thanks everyone!

Hi all...I am tentatively chiming in here but nervous about it. I'm still adjusting to this whole "being pregnant" thing, and it doesn't yet feel entirely real.

EDD if you have one: April 2
When Did You Find Out?: Two days after my missed period...maybe like 15 dpo?
Child Number: One
Where You Live: PA
What kind of provider will you see?: My ob/gyn is at a women's healthcare practice, so I'll see a mix of her, certified nurse midwives, NPs
When's Your First Appointment?: Had a blood test to confirm on Thursday, and I will call to schedule an appt. today
What kind of birth do you want?: No strong feelings on this, honestly. Interested in unmedicated but definitely open to an epidural.
What You're Most Excited For: Meeting this baby.
What You're Most Scared About: The reality of parenting, telling everyone (I hate attention)
Symptoms so far: Eh. I've been a little more tired than usual, and I wear out really quickly when I exercise. I've had some cramping, pretty bad breakouts, and today I think I am starting to get just a little bit queasy. I mostly feel normal, though.
Any fun plans for the end of summer/fall?: We've got a bunch of weddings to travel to this fall. I'm also a teacher who goes back to school in a couple weeks, and I'm excited about that too.

@SupernovaJ: @megz06: @gilmoregirl: Yay! Welcome

@LovelyPlum: Great news about the numbers! And yes about the abs. Although its much lower than crunches. But sometimes they make me double over. Yuck

So new this week is the nausea. Woo hoo! a couple mornings I've had cold sweats, dizzy and feeling vom-y. Trying to stay hydrated and food in the tummy, but thats so hard when you feel like that! Other than that mostly just tired. Napping and then still passing out at night. We'll see how this all works out when I go back to school in two weeks!

Just popping in from the November board to say congrats to you ladies! Wishing all of you a happy and healthy 9 months!
