Hellobee Boards

So my DH and I have a super bad flu. I have the worst runny/stuffy nose, muscle aches and I have been puking all day. I don't know if some of these things are just pregnancy related. DH just seems to have a sore throat, a bad cough and muscle pain. In any case I feel pretty ikky.

@pui: ugh...so sorry you aren't feeling well. I have similar symptoms to your hubby and I am just overall feeling terrible. I am freaking out because my fever just hit 99.6. Trying to get it to fall naturally.

Hope you feel better quickly. Being sick and pregnant is no joke.

@pui: Yuck. Hope you both feel better soon!

@Apples4Teacher: Welcome and congratulations! I'm a teacher too and I'm really nervous about missing the beginning of the school year.

@Mrs.Someone: Aw fun! Let us know how the announcements go!

@babybean404: I can only take 3 months so I will probably go back around Thanksgiving. A beginning of the school year baby was my biggest worry, but 8 months of ttc later, here we are! I'm really excited of course, just wondering how everything will work out and what state the kids/classroom will be in when I finally show up!

@Mrs.Someone: lurking to say that I hope your announcement goes well!

@pui: @beckysue: hope you guys are feeling better!!

@Mrs.Someone: how did it go?? i'm sure they were excited for you guys!

@bakerbee: @msmug: @pui: hope your appts go great tomorrow!

i feel like i'm always sooo freaking hungry these days! any picture of food on fb or ig makes me want to eat it NOW. i'm trying to control myself but man its hard.

Hey there. I had a miscarriage this weekend, so I am out of this thread. Went to the hospital this morning and it was confirmed with a scan. It was a really hard weekend, but trying to think positive things -- like at least we can get pregnant.

@ottilie: I am so so sorry about your miscarriage and proud of you for thinking positive. Good luck when you try again!

@ottilie: So sorry to hear this news Take care of yourself, we'll be thinking of you.

EDD: 8/31, which also happens to be lo's birthday!

I've been waiting to join this thread for a while, cautiously joining today after having a great ultrasound this morning. I spotted the day after my BFP, then I had a full week of spotting during week 5, which (knock on wood) hasn't reappeared, but was enough to really freak me out for a while. I had an early appointment with my OB last week because of the spotting, but it was too soon to hear the heartbeat, so I was still really anxious that something was wrong. I had an another ultrasound this morning (as part of a research study I was participating in while ttc) where we finally heard the heartbeat and everything looked great!

EDD: based on the measurements at today's ultrasound, 8/24.
When Did You Find Out?: December 14
Child Number: 1
Where You Live: NC
What kind of provider will you see?: OB
When's Your First Appointment?: first official appointment with my OB is 1/8.
What kind of birth do you want?: I haven't thought much about it. I really just want a healthy baby + healthy me, so whatever kind of birth leads to those outcomes!
What You're Most Excited For: seeing my husband as a dad, holding my baby for the first time, and (superficially) decorating the nursery/cute baby clothes!
What You're Most Scared About: miscarriage. I was termed "threatened miscarriage" because of spotting (mostly brown spotting, but for a full week) so it's been occupying far too much of my thoughts thus far.
Symptoms so far: nausea, sore boobs (that have already grown a size; I had to buy a new bra this weekend), constipation, and fatigue (just snuck out of my office and took a nap in my car)

@ottilie: I am so sorry to hear about your miscarriage I'm so impressed that you're thinking so positively...keep taking care of yourself.

@ottilie: I'm so sorry.

@jmarionsmith: welcome! i too am due right around my DS' bday!

@erind425: welcome and congrats on the great u/s this morning!

@jmarionsmith: Welcome! I am due 8/7 and I bet I was in the same study as you!!! Was it the one with the accelerometer?

@erind425: @babybean404: i'm also in nc!! yay!

@erind425: @jmarionsmith: @babybean404: I'm in NC too! Crazy how many of us there are

I had my ultrasound! Everything looks great!

Also "Aww" moment from my DH. I was laughing a bit and saying how the baby pretty much just looks like a blob inside a blob and DH responded with "Yeah but it's OUR blob!"

@ottilie: so sorry to hear. hope to see you back on these boards soon!

@jmarionsmith,@erind425 : welcome and congrats!
@pui: congrats on your blob!!!!

I had my u/s appt today too. Turns out we're having twins! My first reaction when they said there were two in there was "Holy $hit!" and then I was like "This is crazy!!!" The doctor laughed at me and agreed.

@pui: yay!!!! so cute!!!

@msmug: OMG double congrats to you!!! that IS crazy!!

@pui: Yea for a healthy blob/baby!

Popping over from the July board to say congrats!

@pui: Love!!

@msmug: Eek, how exciting! I was actually secretly disappointed at our first u/s when our OB said, "first things first, it's just one."
