Hellobee Boards

Congratulations from a June 2013 mama!

Ah! The board is here! Congrats from another June '13 mama (though my little one arrived in May!).

Gosh, June thread already?!? Congrats from a Junebug 12 mama

I've been waiting to see this thread. I'm a June 2013 mama. @owlmom: My LO was due June 1 and she arrived on her due date!

Good luck to all the June 2014 mamas, it's a great month to have a baby!

EDD: June 1

When Did You Find Out?: 10dpo - 9/18

Child Number: #2

Where You Live: Chicago

What kind of provider will you see?: OBGYN

When's Your First Appointment?: TBD

What kind of birth do you want?: Like @owlmom, my first was an emergency c-section. I dilated to 9.5 centimeters after being induced. I never made it to 10 after hours of waiting and heart rate was an issue. My epidural failed and they couldn't get me numb so I had to go under general so neither DH or I witnessed DS's birth, which was awful. I definitely want to do a vbac but may be open to scheduled c-section as well.

What You're Most Excited For: 8 week ultrasound and finding out the gender.

What You're Most Scared About: Morning sickness.

Symptoms so far: Not much at all, thankfully.

I am so glad I did a search! I was just about to start this thread I added a couple of things at the end of mine for fun.
EDD (if you have one): June 2

When did you find out? 12 DPO on 9/23/13

Child Number: #2; LO #1 is 13.5 mos

Where you live: Boston, MA

What kind of provider will you see? Probably an OB in the practice I went to before, though I’ve been thinking about using a birth center instead.

When’s your first appointment? November 5th (10w1d)

What kind of birth do you want? Unmedicated, natural delivery if possible (same as LO #1)

What are you most excited for? Feeling the baby move and hearing the heartbeat

What are you most nervous about? Everything to be okay with the pregnancy and how LO is going to react to having a sibling.

Symptoms so far: Exhaustion, some lightheadedness

How did you tell your partner (share a pic if you want to)?: I printed a pic of LO with the caption “Soon to be BIG Brother” on it and had LO hand it to DH. He was excited

When/How will you tell everyone else? I have told two of my close friends (also moms) and will probably wait to tell everyone else until after we hear the heartbeat.

Congrats June mamas! I'm hoping to join you - will test Friday

@Orvis18: Love this pic!!!

@Chastenet: Would LOVE to have you join us! Am I crazy... maybe I am remembering incorrectly, but did you have a long TTC process with your first child?

Starting to feel like I might be having some PG symptoms. I didn't eat breakfast before driving to work today (I usually don't but have been trying to eat something this week). Before I got to work, I was feeling quite nauseous. I am also not enjoying my (decaf) coffee - at all. I have been drinking decaf for a couple months and it was fine, but I haven't finished my morning cup the past two days.

@kentuckygirl: I wouldn't say it was long - average I guess...We got pregnant on our 2nd cycle TTC, but I miscarried at 6 weeks, then got my sticky bfp on cycle 3 after that. So in total, 6 months.
Happy to hear you are having some symptoms - that's aways reassuring in the early weeks

Got my second beta results and I am happy! In 48 hours, the numbers definitely doubled. I was at 72 on Tuesday and am at 175 today!

So many people know we did IVF that we are going to start telling them we are expecting. I've already told my twin sister but I am so excited to call my mom and dad tonight!!! I know it's early but I can't keep this news and feel okay about sharing early even if, heaven forbid, something were to happen.

Is anyone else sharing your news yet?

@Mrs. Jump Rope: Thank you!!! Hope to see you on this side very soon!

@swedishfish: Thank you so much!!!

@kentuckygirl: We have told a few very close friends but have not shared with our families yet. I want to wait unitl our first appointment on 11/5 to make sure things are okay. We waited until almost 10 weeks last time, right after we heard the heart beat for the first time. I feel more relaxed this time around but I still want to be cautious, but that's just how I am in general

Another June 2013 mama-I can't believe it's been a year since I was in your shoes. Best wishes to all of you for happy pregnancies and healthy babies! @kentuckygirl: I'm across the river in Southern Indiana!

EDD (if you have one): June 6

When did you find out? 14 DPO on 9/27/13

Child Number: #2; LO #1 is 13.5 mos

Where you live: Chicago

What kind of provider will you see? Midwife - hopefully my experience will be as good as for DD who was born in France.

When’s your first appointment? Oct 4 - they want me to poas and get my medical history - kind of a useless appointment if you ask me - I think this could be done with my first "real" pre-natal appt.

What kind of birth do you want? Unmedicated, natural delivery if possible.

What are you most excited for? Seeing the heartbeat, knowing everything is developing ok and feeling the baby move. Also, seeing my little girl as a big sister.

What are you most nervous about? Hoping for a healthy pregnancy and LO. Also worried about handling 2 under 2 - and my boss's reaction.

Symptoms so far: Cramping - same as last time.
How did you tell your partner (share a pic if you want to)?: I came out of the bathroom with my pee stick and hand and showed him the result

When/How will you tell everyone else? Probably will be hard to keep from my mom & sister for very long since they live nearby and I see them a lot. Will tell DH's family when we visit in November. Will tell rest of my family & my brother & sil probably in December because I would like to wait until after sil's baby shower since she had a really hard time ttc and I don't want to steal her thunder.

@beachbee: @Chastenet: Welcome!!! So glad to see you both here!

@beachbee: So sorry to hear you lost 2 LOs in your last pregnancy, and I hope that this time you have a healthy LO!

@kentuckygirl: thanks!! It's been a long road but I'm cautiously optimistic for a sticky baby!

@beachbee: I'm so sorry to hear about your last pregnancy. I'm praying for a healthy baby for you, and for all of us!

@Tundra Daisy: congratulations!!

My only new symptom this week is having to pee every 15 mins. I forgot how much that part sucked last time. Lol.

EDD: June 9

When Did You Find Out?: Sept 27th , Unfortunately the same day I realized that I lost my wedding rings

Child Number: #1

Where You Live: Wisconsin

What kind of provider will you see?: OBGYN

When's Your First Appointment?: Haven't scheduled it yet, most likely the first part of November

What kind of birth do you want?: I'm not sure if I'm cut out for a natural birth, but I'm not ruling it out, and on the other side I would really like to avoid a c-section if at all possible, so my ideal birth would probably be somewhere in between.

What You're Most Excited For: I'm not really sure, I don't think it's quite sunk in yet. All I can wrap my head around at this point is designing the nursery, but it hasn't sunk in that there will be an actual baby in there lol.

What You're Most Scared About: Since it's so early, having a sticky baby.

Symptoms so far: Mild cramping and gassiness. No morning sickness yet.
