Hellobee Boards

@graceandjoy: I’m sure I’ll still be a March mama, I went over 40 weeks and was induced with all 3 of the others I’ve also had to have a d&c for a missed miscarriage so I feel like my body just doesn’t like to let go.

So far I only have sore nipples and a nauseous feeling here and there, like I have to burp but it won’t come out. Pretty tired too but still managed to play softball last night in hot weather, I was surprised I got through it!

I just called and scheduled my appointments: my intake with a nurse is 7/30 and first official one is 8/14 although I’m pretty sure I’m going to reschedule it because I wanted a certain provider and for some reason didn’t speak up on the phone. I’m going to go later tonight to do my first beta and progesterone level. I’m nervous because my progesterone is always very very low and the suppositories are not a good time. They usually pull me in for an ultrasound once hcg is high enough so that’ll probably be in 2-3 weeks!

Anyone get a ton of apparent fertile CM in early pregnancy? I didn't even know I was pregnant at this point in my last pregnancy, and didn't really pay attention to CM anyways.

Cautiously dipping my toes into this board! I hear this is where the March mamas are hanging out?

Location: Ottawa, ON
EDD: March 11, 2020
How far along: 3 weeks 6 days
First child? #2 - DS, B, is 3
First doctor appointment: None yet - have to call my GP and my fertility clinic (was scheduled to redo my HSG and start fertility meds next month)
Any symptoms so far? Not much? Maybe a little tired, but that's kind of expected chasing around a toddler... It was actually the *absence* of symptoms that made me test at 11dpo (yesterday!) - I normally cramp like a mother from ovulation until CD2 or 3. This cycle, almost nothing.
Who have you told: SO and the dentist, lol! Had a dentist appointment this morning and I was due for xrays. "Yeah... about that..."

Still no symptoms here, feeling fine, still testing because I'm a nut. My first appointment will be on 7/26 so long way to go!

I have only told my husband, my dentist, you all, and our son's daycare. I'm thinking of talking to my boss this week, because I'm a teacher and I'm already worried about working with 2 little ones. Talking to my son's daycare, it looks like we'd be paying around $4350 a month for two full-time children (!!!) and I don't make that much each month! Kinda freaking out and not sure what to do... don't really want to be a stay at home mom full-time, but not sure a part-time option would be available to me.

@chereshae: btw, it's awesome that you don't even need to take fertility meds now!

@jomarma: Ugh I am sorry, finance is such a stress. We managed to not have to put 2 full-time at the same time; my little one goes half days. Now oldest is going to Kindergarten so #2 will switch to full time this Sept. So now I've just prolonged an expensive daycare bill for another 4+ years I thought I only have 2 more years to go!

@graceandjoy: I know! We knew if we had a baby this year, we'd have one year overlap where it would be extra expensive. When our oldest is 4, he can go to the preschool where I work where I get a tuition reduction, so he'd be around $7000 for the entire year! I'm just not sure how we're going to handle this year where they both need expensive daycare. I can take a year off, but that'd be very expensive too, and I'm not sure I can handle a toddler and an infant by myself for a year. I'm on summer break with my toddler now and super surprised how much attention he takes compared to last summer! #hesallovertheplace

@Eebolleh: My last 2 leaves were unpaid as well, it was rough! This time supposedly I am getting up to 55%... We will see cuz I’ll really need it

@Phillybaby2013: Welcome and hello fellow 3rd time mama! That’s a beautiful line right there!

I just made myself puke? while cleaning my ears out? I barely poked a spot in my ear and I instantly puked. What. The. Heck!?

@Eebolleh: Yeah, managed to keep things under wraps. Thanks!

Hi, I just wanted to pop in and say that unfortunately I already lost the pregnancy. I found out the results from my first blood draw and although they said they were great, I knew they were too low for the dates. I took some more tests and they got lighter and lighter and I started bleeding on Independence Day.

Hoping all the best for everyone else, have a happy and healthy 9 months

@dinosaurgiraffefox: o man, I'm sorry

@graceandjoy: counting down to the 26th also. That will be all the first appointments for me (intake, U/S, & OB)

@Eebolleh: that's not cool! My dating scan with my first was coded as something about checking a non viable pregnancy, it freaked me out, but I guess it's common coding for the initial scan.

@Eebolleh: I went in at 6 weeks 4 days I think and just made it to see/hear hb; but I know 6 weeks is iffy! With my first I think there was nothing at 6 weeks.

@Sams Mom: I get lost b/c I'd post in the Jan thread thinking it's this thread, vice versa, lol!

Also feeling pretty sick everyday, just trying to make it through the work day. Plus my two kids were sick back to back, each for like 5-6 days, so it's been an absolute mess over in this house. I just want all of us to feel better and actually enjoy summer together, our last summer as a family of 4!
