Hellobee Boards

@megz06: I posted on the appointment thread, but I got my flu shot yesterday. I had never had one either. I'm going to be honest with you...The shot was not bad, it didn't hurt until about 5 seconds afterwards it started burning a little and then throbbed the rest of the day. Today I'm fine... just a tiny bit noticeable.

@luckypenny: I'm still not needing maternity clothes, but I did buy some full panel jeans at target this week. I'm thinking one day soon, my jeans will be unbearable all of a sudden.

The check out lady asked me "How's the baby?" as she scanned my jeans and that kinda took me by surprise a little. Kinda forward of her... haha! I guess I'll get used to it eventually... When there's a belly, I'm sure people will be all sorts of forward.

@jhd: Hope that packing is going well!

@Dandelion: I know one of my good friends is due in February, she announced forever ago. Other than her, there hasn't been much action. All my friends are already done having kids or just had one. But I am weird and still haven't announced to anyone, except family, and a couple friends I've hung out with lately.

@PEAPIE: haha well I guess the maternity pants clued her in. Still pretty rude though!

@nana87: I am so glad it went well and you found a cute dress!

I'm feeling baby move more and more now. Its nice to have that reassurance. Anyone else starting to feel flips yet?

@PEAPIE: that's happened to me a few times this past week. It's weird that people can now know without me telling them. Not used to it yet!

@nana87: that's awesome! I'm glad that it went so well. And yay for a cute dress. Maternity clothes are seriously the best.

@jhd: that is so sweet! What a great surprise for you. I agree, moving is exciting, but leaving people is really hard. I had a hard time when we left our last church...everyone threw us a party, and I definitely cried.

@Dandelion: I'm feeling something! Only when I'm laying down, though. It mostly feels like bubbles, but I think baby may have kicked/run into my bladder over the weekend, though. It very much surprised me! DH's new favorite game is to tickle my stomach and make the baby move. He can't feel baby yet, but it makes him endlessly happy. Silly boys.

@megz06: oh my gosh, what a great surprise! Nice job, DH! Glad you got a weekend to feel pampered

As for me, I'm feeling a little bit better, but I think I'm having some blood pressure issues. I almost fainted while cantoring at church yesterday...not my finest hour. Feeling better today, but it's disorienting!

@Dandelion: eek that must be so exciting to feel definite baby movements. i'm 15 weeks in and i *think* i might feel things here and there, but the movements are so subtle i keep thinking it's gas or something. i may be reading too much into it, but it does feel like slight bubbling or light popping sensations. i think it's still too early for me to tell - maybe after 16 weeks i'll have more confidence it's the baby.

@Dandelion: I feel little movements here and there.. yesterday I swore up and down that I got kicked twice, but I think I'm imaging things. lol

@megz06: That is so awesome of your DH to do!! what a fun weekend!!

@luckypenny: I have mine on Thursday, and it can't get here soon enough! 16 weeks today!

@LovelyPlum: I've had a few almost fainting moments also, and some where I have just been completely off balance. craziness! It is not a good feeling at all!

Can everyone please describe their round ligament pain?

I need to find out if what I experienced yesterday was normal. I always wake up stiff and uncomfortable, but yesterday I had some pinching in my pelvic region when I would bend down or side to side. It is ok today, and it hasn't happened, but I need to know what may be normal or not. I looked online and it said it should be ok unless I am bleeding or the pain was become unbearable.

How is everyone doing today? I thought I should update you all on my adventures... sorry if I'm repeating from the other thread!

So I mentioned that I almost passed out again on Sunday. It's been happening a bit more now that I am pregnant, and I thought it might be a good idea to call my doctor and at least let them know what's up. Turns out that was the right instinct, because they want me to get an EKG and an echo, as well as send me for a cardiology consult. Apparently, this is routine for this office for multiple instances of blood pressure issues, but of course, that didn't prevent me from freaking last night. But, I'm feeling better this morning, thank goodness.

Moral of the story: pregnancy is crazy.

@LovelyPlum: that's really scary about the blood pressure issues, but great about the doctor being responsive, and also less nausea!

@megz06: what an awesome surprise from your dh! that's fantastic!

@jhd: that's adorable that your kids did that!

@Dandelion: no baby movements yet, I can't wait!

I've been getting really bad gas pains lately, usually after dinner which I think must be because I eat too much--I'm really good at eating small frequent meals during the day, but it's so much harder at dinner, especially if we're eating with other people, like last night we went out to dinner with my dad. Sooo not fun, but I guess better than straight up nausea? I went had gone about 10 days without vomiting and then on Friday puked multiple times (though not since then, fingers crossed...), so at least it's getting less frequent, right?

@luckypenny: hooray for your appointment, but booo I'm sorry it's starting for you now! and ugh yeah, it was baaaad! Not the first time I threw up at all--that's been pretty regular--but the first time it had been that bad since earlier in the first tri. I won't get into too many details, but suffice it to say, I was out in public...gross...

@luckypenny: Throwing up, NOW? I hope it's short lived. What the heck... Have a good appointment!!!!

@PEAPIE: that's funny!
@luckypenny: hope you feel better & the sickness doesn't last
@nana87: I'm embarrassed to say I have freaked out more than once about pain only to figure out a little while later it was only gas!!
@LovelyPlum: yay for a day without Zofran! I have only been needing it in the evenings lately & yesterday didn't need any!

@HazelEyes: Ahhhh exciting!!

@HazelEyes: how exciting!!

@LovelyPlum: Glad everyone was happy and supportive. It makes it all the more realistic when its out there.

Hope you all had a great weekend as well. I went shopping with two of my gf's. The one, who is my BFF, is super baby crazy, and now that I'm pregnant she's using me as an excuse to purchase tons of baby stuff. Most of it is gender neutral, and she said if I have a boy, I get all the boy stuff and same for a girl, lol. Otherwise, the rest will go away for whenever she has kids. She bought like 5 outfits, 2 blankets, bibs, and some onsies. I bought a hooded bath towel and the first set of onsies.

I told DH that in a few weeks he should be able to press his ear to my stomach and listen to the baby's heartbeat, according to my app. He wanted to try last night, so I laid on the couch and he listened. He said, "All I hear is gurgle, gurgle." Lol.

Then he went, "Hi baby, it's your Daddy. I love you, little baby." It was seriously the most adorable thing ever. The St. Bernard felt left out, so he came and sat his head on my tummy, gave DH a slobbery kiss then me, and then decided his bone was more important, lol. Love my little family!

@megz06: how sweet!

@LovelyPlum: how cute your pup runs to the door!
