Hellobee Boards

@Ocean girl: on the freezing: YES! I'm 10 weeks and it has tapered off a bit in the last couple, but I still get moments where I'm huddled under a blanket on the sofa just waiting to stop shivering. Before that I would be cold at work constantly. It was actually one of my first symptoms.

@Ocean girl: @greenebee: Welcome ladies!!!!

Also! To those of you who are already researching car seats and strollers, I found an amazing website! I am super lazy at research so I love when other people do it for me, I found this website VERY informative!

@lawbee11: what's your due date? I'm just about 8 weeks too. I think we're about the same timing wise. By my calculations, I'm due Aug. 17.

@marissamakes: welcome!!! I think our due dates might be super close! I'm due August 9!

@marissamakes: Welcome!! Like .twist., my OB dated me Aug 9, but the tech dated the baby to be due Aug 12 so I'm just aiming in between there for delivery. haha!

@.twist.: Thanks for the link!!! I'm THE worst googler ever and haven't even begun researching baby/nursery items. Totally checking out your link!!

If other ladies want to post useful sites for various baby items, that'd be fantastic!!!!!!!

@marissamakes: haha funniest thing. I just had another doctors appointment and she said that I should actually be going with 8/12. So, what do you know, we're dead on!

@Alivoo01: haha don't worry, if I find any more links or sources I will be posting them. I have a girlfriend who's had two little girls, she is like the research QUEEN, I will be asking for all her advice and probably posting it here. I don't trust myself to do a thorough enough job! I'm SO lazy.

I just had my second doctors appointment. Everything went really well, she wasn't concerned about the spotting at all and said (as I already knew) red and cramping is bad and to get that checked out asap, but usually brown, old blood is nothing to be concerned about. I have so many forms for blood work, genetic testing, and something else that I don't even know what it's for, but all standard stuff. I was super excited that everything seemed on track. Oh and she bumped my due date back to the 12th. Which is a little frustrating! haha I was originally the 1st, then the 9th, now the 12th.

Next appointment as of today is January 23 for my lengthy prenatal appointment.

@Modern Daisy: Welcome! yay! I really hate the stuffy nose. Who knew that would be a pregnancy symptom. hmph.

@lawbee11 I'm also 8 weeks on Sunday! Woo hoo! Due date 8/18/2013?

@Modern Daisy: @JamieLee: If you girls are looking for any relief, I've been trying breathe right strips at night and that really clears me up so I can get a good nights sleep.

@.twist.: Glad everything went well at your appointment!

@Modern Daisy: Yay! Welcome & congrats!!

@greenebee: Yep--8/18! It may change once I have an u/s, but for now that's what it is!

@Alivoo01: Yep! I loved that too, she did all the grunt work and all I have to do is decide which one I like best. hahaha

@Mrs D: Thanks! Hooray for DD twins!!

so i had mu first u/s last friday, officially im due 8/15/13. however, im having a scheduled c-section(since i had one with my first, and it's unlikely i can deliver vaginally) so i will have LO anytime between 8/8/13 and 8/15/13. i'm leaning towards 8/8 since i went 6 days past my due date the first time, and was not pleasent! lol we saw/heard the heartbeat, which is always amazing!

hope you ladies are feeling/doing well. sorry i'm not on here much. DS has been sick since christmas with a fever and yet ANOTHER ear infection(3rd in 4 months) so it's been a little hectic.

@Mrs Bicycle: it can happen! haha. i went from an april 2012 mama to a May 2012 mama. i was due 4/26/12 and had him 5/2.

Y'all, I have a serious problem. I just POAS again for about the hundredth time!! I am 40 dpo and still peeing on sticks!! Someone needs to confiscate them from me.

@.twist.: @lawbee11: I'm right there with you...I frantically check all tp for any signs of blood bc I am am totally paranoid...even middle of the night I turn on the light to check that nothing is there...total issues...

@Ocean girl: @marissamakes: @Modern Daisy: Welcome Ladies! Congratulations!

@Ocean girl: If I'm just sitting, then I get terribly cold. The second I move around, I get a hotflash. There's no winning!

@Mrs D: How big was the "hardened uterus"? I went looking for it, but didn't find anything and then it occurred to me that it might be much smaller than I expected.

@.twist.: That website - I love you. 'Nuff said. I'm glad your appointment went well. Did the spotting stop?

I think I'm not drinking enough. I'm getting massive headache and when it's combined with the gaggy nausea feeling, it's downright unpleasant. But I just went out for drinks and downed 3 diet cokes. I feel so much better. I work in a lab, and can't drink in there, but maybe I'll just have to chug a lot when I have breaks.

I also had my freakout moment this morning, where I felt no symptoms (and knew better than to freak out too). Didn't last long, this has been the worst day for nausea yet.

So I haven't actually gotten sick yet but my nausea has been pretty bad, especially when I'm hungry. Today was the closest I've come to losing it...my hubby is a builder and he had a trailer of construction waste. I came with him to the dump because we're going to Home Depot after to look at screen doors. Well, the last time I went with him, it was a place that just took construction waste so it wasn't too bad. That place closed so he goes to a new place that is all kinds of garbage. It's a big enclosed building full of trash...I'm sitting here gagging! It's so stinky! Not to mention I haven't had breakfast yet and it's 10:30...this was a terrible idea!

I'm sure this will be funny looking back on it, as long as I don't lose it on the pavement!

@JamieLee: oh no! Hopefully you got out of there without incident.... Although it is a dump so if you do have to barf just find a pile of junk to do it on! hehe

@redsmarties: I had a taco salad for lunch yesterday, it was so incredibly delicious and I can't stop thinking about how much I'd love another one right now. Starving ALL the time as well!!!

@Mrs Bicycle: Wahoo!! Yes I worry about getting bumped to Sept as well, but I guess it isn't something we can control (although we can hope for!!)

Ahh months! I mean weeks!
