Hellobee Boards

@sandy: I only get sick in the morning and at night, so I feel like that is a movement in the right direction. I can't believe we are almost out of the first trimester!!! Yay!!!

I had my second scan yesterday and saw my lil bean. Heard the heartbeat and measuring in as expected at 9 weeks. Dr prescribed a prenatal with b6 to help alleviate the nausea. NT scan scheduled for June 12. Hoping to get good results and squeeze in a father's day announcement. Had a strange hot flash and almost passed out at work earlier this week and 2 coworkers called me right out with "are you pregnant". I tried to laugh it off but they know something is up. Not ready to let them know yet... parents first.

Man I had a rough day yesterday... I was at work till 11am. I had a horrible sinus headache (I always get it before it rains), and since I was afraid to take anything, I couldn't even look at the comp screen & felt so nauseous so I went home. I had to literally sleep in a dark room with a warm cloth covering my forehead/eyes.

I eventually got up to go to my NT scan... Was very happy to see a happy, moving & pretty big (compared to 8 wks) baby! It waved at us (or so I thought haha). For a while the baby wasn't in optimal position; the tech kept telling me to cough as babies sometimes move around when you cough. Thankfully they were able to get what they needed from me. I got blood taken, and they actually did abdominal and vaginal (to check my cervix).

I'm supposed to go back in a month for "part 2", and then one more time for a full anatomy scan.

So I just had breakfast less than an hour ago and I want a second breakfast already!

Last day of the first trimester (13w2d today) and hoping it gets better! I haven't been posting but have been following along, haven't really felt good enough to have anything great to share and this group moves so fast!

I definitely have a bump now, which is weird since I have lost five pounds and not gained any of it back, but I don't mind since I looooove the bump! Hoping I can manage to hide it for another few weeks, and then I'll tell my work. NOT looking forward to that.

@Mrs.Lilac: Yay for not feeling so sick anymore!

And... who is planning this party?! What's the bride gonna do, sit there and watch everyone else drink wine at HER party?! Does this person understand what it means to be pregnant?!

@snowjewelz: risk of miscarriage goes way down at 12w but the second tri doesn't begin Until 13w and a few days. Confusing!

@snowjewelz: it varies where you look, but I was just thinking 40 weeks divided by three trimesters means that each trimester is thirteen weeks and a couple days. But some people say 12 weeks, and some say 14. I was just going mathmatically And then I'm just dreading telling htem because I accepted a promotion right around the time I got my bfp, and then I won't be returning to work after the baby is born. I just feel bad haha that's all.

@missybear: you definitely don't need to tell them you are returning or not at this point. Just get a copy of the maternity leave policy to see what it says. At my old job I just had to notify them 60 days before my leave was to begin and verify that I was returning to work in order to receive benefits. Some jobs make you pay back your leave if you do not return (mind did).

How is everyone doing???

I am sitting and trying to get used to no more weekly u/s we went to OB Tuesday, very uneventful......lol We go back *6/9 for check up and she did say Doppler to hear heart beat, I am also hoping we can get an u/s in my books baby looks so much like a baby at 12 weeks

@babypie: SO cute, maybe I could get one for my dog

@babypie: super cute!

I've decided week 10 has been the worst for me so far. Nausea came back at 9w, my food aversions are back, my boobs are frieking killing, and I just want to sleep all day but my 2 year old doesn't like that idea much! I'm 10w tomorrow and hoping that this turn around soon. I feel so much worse this time around. It must be a girl!

Anyone else have a strong feeling about boy v girl? Last time I really thought he was it was a boy and it was a boy. I am having strong girl vibes this time so we shall see!

@winniebee: sorry the nausea/aversions are back. I will say I think week 10 was one of the toughest for me too. I felt awful and just being sick for so long was really getting to me. I'm hoping it is the peak of the all day sickness for you. I feel like once I hit 12 weeks things improved a lot. I'm almost 13 weeks and although I still get sick and still deal with aversions/smells it's so much better

@winniebee: We are thinking it's a girl. I used to think I wanted a boy first but I guess I've changed my mind. The ultrasound tech said "he" at my appointment the other day which bugged me out!!! But it's definitely too early to tell.

Hope you are feeling better! Nausea hit me around 9-10 weeks, which is funny because I thought I was in the clear around then.

@magnolia: The ultrasound tech guessed "boy" during my NT scan with my last pregnancy but we have a lovely girl! We asked them not even to guess this time because it really is too early. I can't wait to know!

@winniebee: Oh no! I can't believe it all came back! I hope it goes away asap!

At almost the tail end of 11 wks I feel much better! I still can't really figure out though if I really feel better, or just got used to not feeling good lol.

After the NT scan last week I still have no idea. DH says it looks like a boy cause it has big feet?! I think when we have our 12 week appt next week I will ask if they can see anything yet~

@snowjewelz: big feet LOL!!!

The ultrasound tech showed me a shot of little hands at the last appointment.... So cute!!!!

@MrsF: Why do they try to guess so early??? So annoying! I am anxious to find out too!
****I have follow up perinatal appt tomorrow 5/28 and regular OB appt 6/9******

@snowjewelz: haha, it's probably just gas!!! I'm probably just excited to start feeling things for real!
