Hellobee Boards

@Rockies11: That's a bummer that you have to wait for the results. At my RE's office you got a call about 4 hours after each hCG test with your numbers. I think all of your signs sound positive so try not to worry.

@delight: Congratulations! That's exciting

@Mrs. Sunshine: omg i didn't know stuffy nose was a symptom. i've had one for the last few days and thought i was just getting sick. and ya my breathing is awful. i'm COMPLETELY gassed after a flight of stairs, dh was making fun of me last night. everything seems to take a lot out of me.
today i am feeling horrible. so sick. and all i can effing eat is bagels. all bagels, all the time. sooooo sorry, LO, you are getting zero nutrition

@Mrs. Sunshine: I've gone back and forth between a runny nose in the morning and a stuff nose at night! Also the shortness of breath took me by surprise.

@loki: Oh my! I'm feeling totally awful too. Last week I wasn't feeling well either but I think because I was on vacation and able to take a nap whenever I needed to helped. Now that I am back at work its awful. Nausea and indigestion! I feel awful complaining but I just feel so crappy right now!

@Banana330: I hadn't thought of ginger snaps but I might need to try those!!

@Mrs. Sunshine: Oh I love baby carrots, gonna try that out too! Thanks!

@Mrs. Sunshine: @loki: @HappyBluebird: Ya, single serve apple sauce really cold, cheese strings, goldfish crackers, watermelon and plain lays are all my saviours.

@Banana330: @HappyBluebird: ya watermelon sounds amazing to me too right now!

@HappyBluebird: mine were/are huge i'm so sad, i hated them already, i dont' want them getting bigger. they're so awful. and SO painful. second time moms, please tell me this pain ends... seriously, walking hurts. i literally grabbed and held them walking down the stairs to the subway this morning. i didn't care who saw.

@loki: they sell them at the motherhood store at our mall. I'm sure you can snag them online too. They are just little candies with ginger & vitamins. They're all natural. A friend introduced them to me last pregnancy &they really helped me get through getting ready to go to work in the morning. I think they are officially called preggy pop drops. My friends husband even swears by them for hangovers! They are awesome

Gone for a few days and it looks like I missed a lot!

Welcome @delight: @Mrs. Sunshine:! Another second time mom here with an earlier than expected pregnancy. I'm glad to see a couple more to join @marionberry and me.

Nausea has kicked in hard core. Pretty much nauseous constantly. I was in a wedding over the weekend and almost had to bail in the middle of the ceremony because I got the worst wave and broke out in a cold sweat. Luckily the ceremony ended shortly and I was able to hold it together.

I think someone asked how you are able to do this again. Simple, the second trimester makes you forget the first trimester. Even though I remember that I was nauseous for about 8 weeks last time, I did not remember it being this miserable.

@PawPrints: Looks great thanks for doing this!

@PawPrints: looks awesome. My EDD is highly likely to change once I see my doctor but we'll stick with what my period tracker app says for now.

@PawPrints: Awesome thanks for making that! Hoping we get some new April mamas soon to fill in that empty week!

Adding Windswept.

Anybody have any advice on how to deal with the afternoon sleepiness? Not sure if I'm overly tired from vacation naps last week or if this is just the new normal but by 1 or 2pm I'm so tired I feel like I need a serious nap!

@NeekieRose: I guess some days I could go out to my car and take a nap. I could get away with the 5 minute power nap once in a while when I'm by myself at work but most days I can't sleep at my desk since it's in the middle of our office and everyone can see me!

@HappyBluebird: hmmm...yeah, a walk might work better then! I used to have an interior office so that if I closed my door no one could see me. Now I have a window (yah!), but that means I would need to close the blinds in addition to my door and that seems like a hassle.

I'm seriously considering just working from home a couple days a week for the next month so I can take naps. But that doesn't help for the other days.

@PawPrints: Thanks for doing this! Like @loki mentioned, our due dates are April 12th but I have my first appointment today so that may change. I'll let you know.
@HappyBluebird: I'm having the hardest time with exhaustion this time around. I try to catch a nap whenever I can, but it's hard with a lo. If you don't have an office you can nap in for a couple mins, go out to your car and set an alarm on your phone. I've done that when I only had a cubicle.

@lilyofthewest: @sunshinemcc: @happybluebird: thanks ladies! I'm happy to join the group!
@marionberry: thanks and yes sounds like you are in the same boat as me!
@windswept: thanks! Also, We were Team green the first time around and I loved the suspense and surprise at the end. We haven't made up our minds about this pregnancy but will likely go TG again.

@PawPrints: that calendar is awesome! The green looks fine to me, If windswept is the only one so far!

I was hoping to get blood drawn today at the doctor's because I had to take L in for her one year appointment. Unfortunately I thought the appointment was at 11am and it was 10am. Whoops. Pregnancy brain already? So I guess I'll just hold tight and hope all is going well until next week when I've rescheduled her appointment. The spotting has stopped completely.

@HappyBluebird: oh man the exhaustion hasn't hit me yet but I'm not looking forward to it.

welp. 6w1d and i just puked up my entire lunch. so that was awesome! can't wait for the next 6 weeks haha. but also kinda happy because... it's a good sign, right?!?!
