Hellobee Boards

@megz06: @gilmoregirl: welcome and congratulations!!!!

@LovelyPlum: so excited about your numbers!!! I'm so happy for you that this is feeling different than the past (pretty sure that sentence included some horrible grammar lol but too tired to fix it!)

I'm having more food aversions and lack of hunger than m/s....Sunday will be week 6 so we'll see what happens, I've read that week is common for the onset of m/s

@cmbknyc: I'm having the aversion thing, too. Also, smells will make my stomach turn. I'll be 6 weeks next week (not sure exactly what day), so I'm a little worried what crops up at that point, too!

Last year, while pregnant with S, I was so groggy tired for the entire 9 months. It was so awful. But, this time around, I feel like I have more energy than usual. I'm not looking forward to fatigue setting in, since it kicked my butt last time (it's also a point of contention with me and the loss). If I can have an easy pregnancy this time around, I'll definitely welcome it!

@jill_a55: congratulations and welcome!!
That's pretty awesome that you will have the same ob as your mom!

@SupernovaJ: Thanks! I feel like all those teenage years of fairly good skin are coming back to bite me!
@MrsSpadusa: Thanks! I guess that would be the best recommendation I could get!
@luckypenny: Thanks! Must be a good date then!!

@jill_a55, congrats!

I have the cystic acne that you and @SupernovaJ mention too...it actually hurts to wash my face and it makes me feel so gross. Although it's also worse in my head than it is in actuality. Here's hoping it won't last!

@SupernovaJ: I had the same thing all during my 4th week and still do experience this occasionally in my 5th fellow Bees and my OB both assured me it's normal - just your uterus stretching
I was told I should only be concerned If you start bleeding/spotting red

I know - especially since we've never been through this before but I keep telling myself the less stress the better and focus on how I've made to the next week

@luckypenny: I just saw this Did you call your doc? How are you?

@cmbknyc: that's really reassuring. i soo agree, since this is my first pregnancy i have no idea what's normal and what's not. i guess it makes sense though...expanding uterus. i just didn't think i would feel anything so early on. but it is very slight. i will keep on eye out for any spotting... thank you!

@jill_a55: hi there! Welcome, and congrats!

@SupernovaJ: I have that, too. I am pretty sure it is normal, but it is scary! I was so sure AF was going to show at any minute.

@LovelyPlum: they make. Zofran tab that dissolves under your tongue and works better/faster then the oral tab. If you find you can't keep the tabs down, I would ask about those. I still have no idea why most docs prescribe an oral tab when they have better options available!

I know it is normal to have bloating, but at 4 weeks and 3 days, my lower belly is pretty round and squishy already. My pants fit a little tighter, but I still button and zip them no problem. I don't feel bloated, and I am drinking up to 9 cups of water a day. Is this normal?

@Dandelion: Thank you! Twins run in my family, and I was wondering if this is an early sign, but people said I'd probably sicker (I haven't thrown up. Just nausea since around my missed period).

@megz06: I'm there, too! Not feeling bloated, just feeling big. My belly definitely feels harder than it did with the last two pregnancies. And I definitely feel like my hips have gained padding overnight. I haven't gained any weight. but everything just feels rearranged down there. Moral of the story: I like yoga pants

Should we start a due date list? I don't think it necessarily has to. Be a separate thread, like some months have, but it would be nice to do! I'm pretty sure September mamas have one in their main thread that different people re-post to update things like due dates, gender, etc. It is hard to know how to organize-too many thrieads get confusing, but one big one can get out of hand without something to keep us on track! I'm such a nerd and have been reading other month threads for ideas. Nerdy much?

@luckypenny: yay for the list!

So tonight was my first complete emotional breakdown...... Over coffee.lol. DH is less then supportive of my java habit at the moment and its been a source of grief for us both(even though I'm limiting it to 2 weak brewed cups per day if I can tolerate that much and making sure everything else I eat doesn't have caffeine in it) . Tonight he saw a Starbucks and suggested we go and then said oh wait- cant you're pregnant. I don't think I've ever cried so much in my life. He didn't mean it badly but I really wish our DH could know what we are going through with all this cant do this, can't do that, and changing bodies. Ugh
, sorry for the venting- needed to get that out!

ahhhhhhhhhh!! I just posted on the August POAS board but thought I'd pop in here as well!

EDD if you have one: April 18
When Did You Find Out?: today!! CD 28
Child Number: 1!
Where You Live: NYC, though I'm actually temporarily living in the UK right now for my phd research. I'll be home for at least 7 weeks starting at the end of this month though
What kind of provider will you see?: ob/gyn
When's Your First Appointment?: haven't called yet, but hopefully soon after I get home around Labor Day, which will be around the right time for an 8 week appointment
What kind of birth do you want?: the ob/gyn I chose awhile back delivers at a hospital with a birthing center for low risk pregnancies. my hope would be to deliver there since it's a little homier/more comfortable but still inside a hospital, which makes me less anxious in case anything goes wrong
What You're Most Excited For: feeling kicks! seeing my husband's face filled with love for our lo (haha that sounds soooo cheesy)
What You're Most Scared About: I'm away from home right now...I need to rethink my travel plans for my dissertation research and that's overwhelming!
Symptoms so far: nothing that I thought was unusual--fatigue, some cramping, some gassiness/constipation...
Any fun plans for the end of summer/fall?: I'm just looking forward to being home! DH and I were going to go to Italy around Thanksgiving, but we'll have to think about whether we still want to do that or if I should maximize my time here doing research so I can get home sooner
