Hellobee Boards

@Sams Mom: I am soooo happy to see you on here! Congrats momma! Feel free to join our Jan board since we have a few more ladies.

Location: CA
EDD: March 4, 2020
How far along: 3 weeks 5 days
First child? No, we have a 2y4m son
First doctor appointment: haven't called yet
Any symptoms so far? super smell? maybe getting overheated?
Who have you told: no one! still in shock, though I've been giving some big hints to my husband.

After a very realistic dream on Sunday where I had morning sickness and a positive test, I took 3 cheap walmart blue dyes and a FRER and they all said pregnant! I'm a little surprised, it happened pretty fast, so of course I'm very happy but still trying to adjust to the idea of having two babies and the future of work and our house and all that. This is also our first ::planned:: pregnancy, as our last was a surprise, and it's weird to know about the baby before any symptoms. I was about 7 weeks along in my last pregnancy before I figured out I was pregnant.

I'm going to buy one more real test today and hopefully tell my husband tonight. My last baby was a March 6 due date and was born in February, so we shall see! Trying to figure out all the first trimester stuff that I no longer remember...

@jomarma: So exciting! Let us know if you tell tonight!
I've never ever ever been able to keep anything from DH haha. Both times I just run in front of him holding the test, lol!

@Sams Mom: I know! Waiting is going to be so rough. I have to call tomorrow but I did email my doctor today.

@jomarma: with my son I didn't find out I was pregnant until nearly 7 weeks, so this will definitely be an eternity

Location: New England
EDD: March 7, 2020
How far along: 3 weeks 3 days I think
First child? 4th
First doctor appointment: haven't called yet
Any symptoms so far?: I tested because I felt lightheaded and had some random bouts of nausea.
Who have you told: My best friend that lives across the country from me, a friend from my first birth group and that’s it. With the way our schedules line up I’m waiting until tomorrow night to tell my husband.

If you saw my other post I was ridiculously skeptical about this but after 8 positive tests since yesterday I’m ready to accept it. I’ve gotten rid of all my baby things and just got my dress last Thursday for a wedding I’m maid of honor in in mid September, so naturally I’m freaking out a little. Probably going to hide it as long as humanly possibly because Of the wedding but it is my 4th so we’ll see how that goes.

I’m also debating how I want to approach this pregnancy, usually because of past issues I do serial beta/progesterone draws and early ultrasounds but part of me just kind of wants to go with the flow and be more zen with this pregnancy. I’m also not a very zen person and I always end up on progesterone supplementation because it’s always very low so I just don’t know.

Oh, I’m also due on my late brother’s birthday who passed in 2011 and that’s feeling pretty darn special and meant to be right now!

@dinosaurgiraffefox: Hehe, I was in Dec '14 and Dec '16 OR Jan '17 since that was the due date.

I've been around for a while... I fell off b/c I realized someone I know IRL was following my posts on here and while I had nothing to hide, it felt kinda awkward when I discuss TMI stuff on here. So I left and just lurked for a while!

@dinosaurgiraffefox: How are you feeling on #4! I think how you feel is how I feel about #3 hahah. No baby things, was planning to finally work out and get into shape, etc. Lol!

@Eebolleh: I sit in an office all day and it's so hard to pull it together. I think my 1st pregnancy, someone was able to tell b/c I was just slouched over at my desk half the time!

@dinosaurgiraffefox: Yess I decided this year I was finally gonna try to squeeze in more self care, and then this, lol. I guess I'm self caring all right by laying around feeling sick all the time!

Location: Southwest USA
EDD: February 12
How far along: 7 weeks tomorrow
First child? No. 6 year old DS
First doctor appointment: last week for bloodwork and urine. I got back next week for an ultrasound
Any symptoms so far? Terrible Nausea, fatigue. Also I’m freezing cold. It’s 110+ degrees where I live and I can’t get warm.
Who have you told: my husband, and a few close friends. Oh also my boss because I work where there can be health hazards.

I used to be semi active on here when my son was a baby. I came back briefly when I got pregnant in December but then I miscarried. I am still nervous about that possibility but trying to remain hopeful.

@MamaJ: Congratulations and welcome! Ohh I feel you on being cold! But FWIW my office is a freezer!

@Sams Mom: Good enough for me! We've never waited to tell families anyway! But my SIL was on vacation so I'm planning to tell her today pending dr appt.

@graceandjoy: you're due on my birthday!

@graceandjoy: I'll have another c sentinel, so I'll likely be the end of February... And if my 3 year old is 100% right about this pregnancy, he told me around ovulation I have 2 babies in my belly. So twins would put me earlier in February likely.

Is anyone else just absolutely exhausted? I'll be 4 weeks tomorrow and I can't hardly wake up. It doesn't help that I had to cut back from a pot of coffee a day to 1 1/2 cups a day.

@Sams Mom: Oh man, I feel like so far this is my only symptom. Just exhausted. The 4:30 am wake ups my toddler graces us with have been especially brutal.

I keep waiting for other symptoms to show up. It makes me a little nervous. I want to keep testing, but I'm not sure what that will prove at this point! Phone appointment on Friday, and I think I'll wait until later in July for a in office visit.

@Sams Mom: extremely exhausted. I’ve been going to bed at 830 right after my son goes to bed. After work I just sit on the couch trying to keep my eyes open until 830.

Dry heaving has also become part of my morning routine
