Hellobee Boards

Just came back from the dr's- had bloodwork done today so they can see how far along I am and get me an appt for my dating ultrasound... Weird bc I'm going to the same practice as before and didn't need bloodwork to confirm for my first. Anyone else need to do bloodwork?

@lavender: thanks! Fortunately my GP is super nice and caring and doesn't mind doing everything he can to make me feel at ease. He may think I'm crazy but doesn't show it at least He said that since my ob doesn't do them he'll do it whenever I want.
Even though I'm scared I do still feel positive. This feels like IT

@citymouse: I'm having the opposite like @MrsKoala: say but I hope your get better

So I had my doc appt today and it was fine but really just confirmation so he could refer me to an ob-gyn cause he doesn't do any prenatal care which is fine as I just starting going to him as my primary care last Thursday the day before I got my bfp, but he did do the blood work so when I go see my ob-gyn he'll have a jump start which I appreciate him doing:) so now I'm waiting for them to call with my new doc and schedule my first appt which I hope is soon I'm anxious to see if my levels are rising unlike last time. Also I had a dentist appt tomorrow for an Extraction and when I called and talk to him about the pregnancy he said congrats and it was still ok to go ahead with it because he's only using a local and it won't hurt the baby which I'm still a little nervous about but I already did X-rays weeks ago so I don't have to do that.

And in the way of symptoms I'm just tired, hot due to the Florida weather, hungry every 30mins to an hour, I'm having a metallic type taste from time to time, thirst, peeing a lot, and really really sore breast but. Know it's worth it!!!

SORRY FOR THE BOOK LADIES just doing some catching up

@lavender: that's what I thought too and I already told DH I don't feel comfortable with it but my wisdom tooth has been in pain but I'm definitely going to voice my concerns when I get there in the morning

@Honeygold89: keep me updated! And def voice your concern again, good luck tomorrow!

@citymouse: I am going to do that for sure

@lavender: I will and thanks

@citymouse: the only thing about that is I don't have my ob yet because I seem my primary care who is referring me to an ob so I asked my primary today before I left his office what did he think about that and he told me to call the dentist and ask him cause he wasn't too sure with him not being in the prenatal care field

@BlueberryPie: Yay, glad you're here We got our BFPs on the same day and according to FF we have the same due date! But I think my doc will say its Feb 19th with @danizaur.
Would be neat though if you and I were BFP and Due Date Twins!

@BlueberryPie: Yay!! Welcome! Im a first timer too. i know what you mean about the wait till the first appt. Mine is July 8th and I already have a countdown app for it. Haha! 25 more days for me! Cant wait!

@citymouse: I am not constipated so far this time, but with my first I was, and it's weird, but eating Corn Pops cereal was the only thing that helped me! I took Benefiber, ate all the right fruits, drank all the stuff you're supposed to, but good ol' Corn Pops won. haha! I can't seem to remember--is this your first? If you get super sick and get prescribed Zofran, just a heads up that it makes that issue MUCH worse, so be sure to take lots of things to help your system along if you end up on it.

I'm realizing the first tri is so different with the second. With my first, I had betas drawn, and had my first ultrasound at 5.5 weeks. This time they're like, uhhh just come in when you're somewhere between 8 and 10 weeks and we'll do an ultrasound to confirm dating. So, I'm waiting until July 1 to know exactly how far along I am! That, and I already have a belly--like as big as I was with my DD at 20-24 weeks. They aren't kidding when they say you show earlier with the second.

Ok, so add me to the list of girls who are the OPPOSITE of backed up. Sheesh.
@Danizaur: Ditto on the gas and fatigue! And that is soooo cute about your hubby! Mine was like that the first time around but now he's a little scared to get excited (after MC). He said he won't get excited until we are out of the first tri. I don't believe him, I think he'll be excited after the first appt when we hear everything is ok. It was our first appt last time that we were told the pregnancy was failing so that will be a huge hurdle for us. We never had a happy appointment so I can't wait for this one. I feel really good about it! Gotta stay positive!

@erinpye: I love making tea with grated ginger! I also add some lemon and rosemary. I always just made it because it tasted good, but I never thought of it for nausea. Thanks for the tip

Wowza, as I mentioned I'm taking tests obsessively since I have so many left over. The wondfo hcg is finally looking dark but I also took a wondfo LH for fun since I've read they can be positive. It's sooooo dark!
