Hellobee Boards

So this feels premature since I JUST got my BFP earlier today, but I just can't wait to join in on the conversations here! Also, sorry in advance, but I tend to be very chatty and probably annoying, haha.

EDD: December 16th

When Did You Find Out?: TODAY!

Child Number: TWO! First child is Xander (13 months)

Where do you live?: New England

What kind of provider will you see?: My practice has both OBs and midwives - I saw mostly midwives last time, but because of my ITP (low platelet count), I was switched to an OB late in my pregnancy. I'm guessing they'll make me stick with an OB this time around.

When's Your First Appointment?: I haven't even called yet!

What kind of birth do you want?: I have no idea. Last time, I was convinced I was getting an epidural, but because of my ITP, I wasn't able to and ended up having to deliver without meds. I cried the whole time and swore I'd never do that again, but now I'm thinking... maybe? I'm crazy...

What You're Most Excited For: Telling our parents!

What You're Most Scared About: Miscarriage

Symptoms so far: None so far (not even 4 weeks yet)

@Adira: congratulations! So exciting

@littlek: @MrsF: @theotherstark: @sandy: Thank you ladies!

And wow, there's a nice mix of first time moms and second time moms here! This should be fun!

Thanks for the warm welcome mamas!

@adira congrats! your son is adorable!!!

@theotherstark: I am so nervous to see my OB!! I think the first appt will be more of a check in than anything else because it is so early. when I last saw him over the summer he told me to come in as soon as I got pg and he would put me on progesterone. which I am confused about because from what I've read it is mostly used pre-conception?

@MrsMangoMochi: Aww, I would love to have a turkey baby. it's maybe my favorite holiday. although we may all be lookin like we ate the entire turkey by that time

Just got off my flight from London to the USA. Worst flight EVER! Threw up on the plane a lot and couldn't go to the toilet as we had to keep seat belts on. It was so horrendous. Had to get extra sick bags. I felt do bad for the people around me. praying this doesn't last. Iwas totally fine 2 days ago and now I haven't slept in 2 nights as I'm so sick. I'm scared il be like this for weeks.

@Mrs.Lilac: Oh no, I'm so sorry. Sounds like a rough flight.

@littlek: yeah it was BAD. Poor girl sat on my row. The air stewards were a bit worried I was infecting the plane with some disease so I had to eventually say it was morning sickness. Not loving that a bunch of strangers know I'm ku before my friends!

@AngelicOne: I really hope you don't go through that too. I have only been nauseated so far and not actually sick so not sure what was going on on the plane to make me so sick. Urg.

Sorry, I'm having a pity party. I'm now having a 6 hour layover which isn't helping. Sitting with sick bag at the ready.

Just wanted to add, I bought some anti sickness bands and I think they are helping so go get some if you feel sick! Anything to feel less ill right?

@Mrs.Lilac: Sorry you've been so sick That flight sounds awful! Glad that the pressure bands are helping and I'm sure you'll feel so much better once your flights are over.

@Mrs.Lilac: Yes, same here. I've just had the nauseated feeling so far. I get really anxious when flying so the m/s will make it loads of fun. I was looking into those bands yesterday on Amazon. Sorry about the long layover. Hope your last flight isn't too long.

How's everyone doing? The weekend always go by so fast and the week soooo slow. I have a huge work deadline and everything is backed up so I know the end of my week is going to SUCK.

@littlek: Once you passed when AF was supposed to arrive and didn't, did you feel better? I'm worried about the same thing - just waiting for AF to be officially late and hoping that that takes some of the edge off!

@littlek: I hear you! How far along will you be at your u/s?

@littlek: Does your practice usually do u/s that early or is there a reason why you've having one that early? I don't think I'll get one until 12+ weeks at my practice...

@sandy: I really like Sprout & Ovia so far!

Wow, I missed so much over the weekend! So happy to see so many additions to the group!

@mrs.lilac: Yuck I am so sorry you had a terrible flight. Welcome to the USA and I hope you have a fabulous vacation!

@adira: WELCOME WELCOME! So excited for you to join us! For some odd reason, my OB gave me an u/s when I went in for blood test at just 4 weeks! And I'm going back this Friday for another u/s! They said I can have an u/s every week if I want to?! It's very strange and def not the norm that I'm seeing on the boards.

So just found out SIL is expecting #2, she's due 11/30. Her #1 literally just turned 1 so they'll be less than 2 years apart! Got me to start thinking about how we want to space out #1 and #2!

@Adira: I was originally scheduled for 10 weeks and I was like, there is no way in hell I'm waiting 10 weeks.

@Adira: I wouldn't go in any earlier than 6 weeks, but maybe see if they can get you in at 8, that's way better.

@Adira: I had bleeding last pregnancy too and went in for an early U/S. ***fingers crossed (knocking on wood) no spotting/bleeding this pregnancy for either of us.

@littlek: I have had no spotting whatsoever too! And I still have no other symptoms other than slight bloating & cramping
