Hellobee Boards

Location: California
EDD: 6/30?
How far along: 4 weeks and 1 day
First child? Second. I have a 2 year old DS.
First doctor appointment: 11/16 although I’m hoping to go in for my second beta today. I need to call the dr’s office when it opens.
Any symptoms so far? Bloating and sore nipples, feeling a little more tired than usual.
Who have you told? Just told DH yesterday! And DS although i’m not sure how much he understands. He says “no” when we ask if he wants a baby brother or sister.

Congratulations, ladies! 🤰
Sending wishes for a happy and healthy 9 mos!

@starlitsky: yeah my husband thinks I'm gonna cave and will want to find out. My doctors office doent do the blood test, we would have to wait till 20 weeks. I have a feeling it's a boy though. I joke with hubby thst if it's two babies we will find out though. Haha he got a good laugh at that. We know itll be one. We found out for both of my previous babies. We have a boy and a girl so we are happy with whatever.

I have a friend who has guessed the gender of 9 pregnancies and has not been wrong. She has to be around you though. I need to pay her a visit and ask her what she thinks. She guessed my son and my daughter.

@cyoung: wow what does she base the guess on? Just a general feeling she has? That’s an amazing track record!

Btw I still think it’s amazing that your first 2 are so young and close in age! You are a super mama! I’m nervous about going from 1 to 2 kids!

@cyoung: That was my caveat to my husband for being team green too! If there was more than one we could find out because that is way too much to go into blind, but otherwise it was easy not knowing. You always have the entertainment of people's horror that you WOULDN'T find out the gender, and just HOW will you have everything you need... blah blah blah

It also made for a lot less opinions because all they could react to was the fact that I was pregnant, none of their gender biases had any ground to dig into if they didn't know.

Hi ladies! So excited to be joining!!

Location: Canada
EDD: June 29/19
How far along: 4w2d
First child? No, 3rd.
First doctor appointment: I have a midwife meet and greet on Oct 31 (and another one with a second midwifery group on Nov 22 but if I like this first one I think I’ll cancel the second one)
Any symptoms so far? Super tired, sore boobs, feeling blah, oh and INSOMNIA! Which I think is making me feeling crappier because I’m so tired!
Who have you told? Husband and 3 of my friends (just told my husband haha)

We have a boy and a girl and plan on finding out the sex of this one. Hopefully with the NIPT! My kiddos will all likely be born within 3 weeks. Not ideal but... doesn’t really matter to me! Counting down the days until maternity leave

I'm nervous ladies. I took a digital last night and it said "not pregnant." I was terrified that I was having a chemical so I took some regular line tests.
My lines are getting darker but they look so light to me. My last pregnancies the lines got super dark quick. The first two were at 3 am and the bottom is at 6 am. I know lines csnt tell you much but I need some reassurance. Do you think everything is okay. I'll be 4 week tomorrow. The lines do look a bit darker in person. My phone takes bad pics.

@cyoung: Step away from the tests. (You might not fully grasp the craziness of that statement), but step away from the tests. You are just now coming up on your missed AF. concentration of hcg varies throughout the day based on hydration level and hold length. Wait a couple days, test with the same brand and go from there.

@cyoung: stop testing!! Plus testing three hours apart is really going to tell you NOTHING. You can’t even compare them because the second one is only a three hour hold etc.

Today, you are pregnant!

@QBbride: hmm not super tender yet! is it just on one side or all over?

oh are you basing your EDD of 6/29 on your LMP? if I did that, mine would be way off since my cycle was super long this time!

@QBbride: my LMP was 9/6 🤣 I should have told them 9/23 based on 2 weeks before my suspected actual ovulation.

@QBbride: I know! I have long cycles anyway but this time it was extra long! I was waiting to ovulate forEVER!

I've been having some slight back pain and randomly it feels like my cervix is being stabbed. The tiredness is hitting me fianlly and I feel full super easily especially in the mornings. I'm 4 weeks today and I've officially missed my period. Fingers crossed.

@cyoung: yay! I feel like it’s always a big milestone when you miss your period... like, the tests were right and this isn’t all in my head 🤣

@starlitsky: still the same, thanks for asking. No better but no worse, so I guess that’s good?!

The ironic thing is I had to put in my first choice for my vacation days next year (so crappy trying to plan your year 1+ year in advance) and I got prime vacation - like 3 weeks in July. And now I won’t be able to use any of it because i’ll Be off on maternity leave 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Location: usa
EDD: July 7
How far along: 3w4d
First child? 3rd
First doctor appointment: not scheduled yet
Any symptoms so far? None
Who have you told? Just DH. Going to tell my mom and siblings over Christmas when we visit, then work and the world after 20 weeks

Excited to join you ladies! Here's my pee sticks from yesterday and today - feeling good about how my lines are looking so far. I had a chemical last year so FX these lines stay dark this time around.

@bananasareyellow: amazing lines! Yay for baby #3, this will be my third too!

@cyoung: oh no! Can you get in for betas? I know how much agony being in limbo is!

My tenderness seems better today. I think I haven’t been drinking enough water. I drank a big glass before bed yesterday. But now of course I’m thinking disappearing symptoms. I can’t be pleased haha.

@cyoung: I'm so sorry. I hope you are back on the pregnancy boards soon worth your rainbow.

@bananasareyellow: they’re 3 (will be 4 on July 8) and 5 (will be 6 on June 13) and this babe is due June 29! All the birthdays in like 3 weeks 🤣

How old are yours??

Yes! I loved having mine two years apart but it’s been a couple years of chaos and the first year was a blur! This time I think it will be nice to have a 6yo and 4yo plus a newborn. My 4yo will start kindergarten in september 2020, so I can get her settled into kindergarten and it will be like my first glorious maternity leave with only one child during the day! (I can take an 18m maternity leave this time!)
