Hellobee Boards

I really need to expand my maternity wear! I have one pair of jeans and one pair of work pants, a dress, and 2 tops that are maternity. I have been fitting in more normal clothes the rest of the time, but they are becoming less flattering! I had a July due date last time and didn't need a maternity jacket. I don't plan to get one this time either, but I live in the south so we have fairly mild winters.

@meadow: nope, just for a long weekend. And I'm a dietitian

@catomd00: right near there in Whitefield! We are staying at the Mountain View Grand. The Poconos were an idea for us too!

@MrsKRB: Dietitian - I knew that... you were the one who helped me calm down on the ridiculous amount of protein I thought I needed to eat early on. I'll blame it on babybrain

@catomd00: Mt Washington is amazing. My husband and I went there on one day of our honeymoon and it really blew my mind how much the wildlife changed as we climbed the mountain. Of course it was a foggy day at the summit, but still pretty remarkable

@Ree723: So glad that your NT scan went so well!! A weekend in Paris sounds lovely! How exciting

@Ree723: we wanted to do a tropical one with #1 but it was less than a year after our honeymoon, so decided against it. We thought about it this time but I'm not ready to leave DD for that long yet! DH has promised me a 5 year trip though so I will be ready haha - 2 years to go!

@meadow: it's absolutely beautiful! I grew up in NH and while I don't miss the freezing cold weather, theres a ton of beautiful places there to visit. Much different from Baltimore!

Hi ladies. I'm going to join along here if that's ok... I was posting in the July board but my due date is now June 30th. And I'll likely have a c section which I think is done at 39 weeks so around June 23.

This is baby number 2 for us. My son will be two in March! We find out if we are having a boy or girl on February 4th. I'm thinking boy!

With my son I had a really bad 3rd degree tear, and at my follow up with the OB she said a c section might be best for the next baby. Here (Ontario Canada) I see my family doctor until about 28 weeks and then get sent to the OBs. My preference is strong for a c section. I'm hoping the OBs will agree. I need to find out if they can actually just tell me "no".

I am 14 weeks 3 days. And I've been following along here silently since I got my BFP

@Mrs. Champagne: welcome!!! Such a cute ultrasound picture

@Mrs. Champagne: yay, glad you jumped in!

I hope everybody had a happy New Year!

@Mrs. Pink: I take a prenatal, B-12, Vit D, and a calcium/magnesium pill. (I was taking a flax-seed but to much controversy so I dropped it).

No cravings yet for me... kind of the opposite actually I'm still struggling with a lack of appetite. Most food doesn't sound good to eat and when it does sound good I'm only able to get a couple bites down before I lose all interest in it or can't stomach it any more. This has been made worse the last couple days by a head cold I'm struggling through. And then it doesn't help I'm picky eater.

I actually had my first pregnancy break down (or I'm blaming the pregnancy at least!) because of this. After two days of eating practically nothing; there wasn't anything appetizing in the house and the few things I did find appetizing I could only manage to eat more then a bite or two of it before I had to stop. And I wasn't about to go out in the 15 degree weather to grocery store at 9 at night so I just lost it! I was sobbing uncontrollably because I was hungry and I only wanted to eat but there was nothing to eat! And darn-it I was pregnant so I should be eating everything in sight instead of being disgusted by food! About 15 minutes later after lots of ugly crying I finally passed out and went to the grocery store in the morning. I an laugh about it now but I was pretty embarrassed by it earlier...

@Mrs. Champagne: Welcome! I've been lurking in the July forum since my due date is June 28th so I totally understand!

I haven't switched out to maternity clothes yet, I'm plus size and tall so I doubt I really buy much true maternity clothes anyways. I have bought a few loose tops and couple pants a size up (a couple weeks ago when I needed new ones anyways). But I haven't really gotten a bump yet so I haven't needed to change clothes anyways (though somethings are getting snug!)

@catomd00: thanks!! I honestly don't care either way! We want 3-4 and I have no preference if they are all boys or a girl thrown in too what do you think you're having??

@RKitty: @Mrs. Pink: @meadow: @MMcAlli: @runnerd: @MrsKRB: @RKitty: wow thanks so much for the welcome hope I didn't miss anyone!

For those that didn't find out or are team green, what's your prediction? Any gut feelings RE boy or girl? I'm thinking boy for me. My husband is picking girl to make things interesting, haha.

My doctor called today and said my iron is low. I've been exhausted so makes sense. I have to take three iron pills a day. Hopefully they work well and I have energy soon.

@catomd00: Ooh, a five year trip sounds great too! I've asked for a ten year trip to some place super exotic, like the Maldives, but we'll see if that actually eventuates!

@Mrs. Champagne: Congrats and welcome! What a sweet baby picture! I'm going to say boy based on your ultrasound pic too, but I am terrible at this game so I am most likely wrong!

@RKitty: Don't feel bad - I got seriously grumpy with DH last week when he ate the last piece of leftover pizza for breakfast. We'd been out shopping all morning and all I was thinking about was having that pizza for lunch; I mentioned it on the way home and he sheepishly told me he ate it. I may have cried a little and refused to speak to him for the rest of the afternoon. Pregnancy hormones are no joke, ha!

@Mrs. Pink: @catomd00: Can't wait to find out what you ladies are having! Tomorrow for both of you, right?

@Mrs. Champagne: I'm team green......but since early on I've been thinking girls. My husband says boys to keep it interesting. I keep dreaming about boys - so who knows

@Ree723: I had similar feelings recently when my husband ate the last slice of pizza from the fridge! Must be something about leftover pizza!

I went to the gym on my way home tonight. I'm allowed 20 minutes of treadmill without going over 140bpm. I made it to about 18 minutes keeping my heart rate at 120bpm and under. Then my stomach started feeling "icky". I've been having a lot of gas the past few days and honesty I wasn't sure if it was related to that or if it was more of a sign that I was pushing myself too far, so I quit at 18 minutes to be on the safe side. I am fully aware this is the lamest sounding workout - but June until my BFP I wasn't allowed to do anything vigorous like jumping to prevent OHSS while on fertility meds. While I did walk 3 - 5 miles per day all summer, I got out of the habit this fall. Then I've been honestly too tired the past few months to really want to go to the gym (especially since I generally find treadmills boring). So while I do move around a lot at work and sit for a max of 2 hours per work day - I figure I should walk on a treadmill once in a while - not for weight reasons - but to just keep my heart in shape and generally MOVE. Each time I've gone to the bathroom since I got home I get nervous at what I'm going to see. I hope I'm overreacting. (Sorry for the ramble - I just scrolled and saw how long this got!)

Excited for everyone who has appointments this week and are finding out gender! Yay

@meadow: yeah pregnancy workouts.... Tmi but I get runner's runs when I workout too hard now, sucky.

@catomd00: mi e too! I'm having the tech put it in an envelope and then we'll open it when he gets home!

@catomd00: first girl! Congratulations!!

I *think* I've been feeling baby move. It doesn't really feel like butterflies or bubbles though, more like a muscle twitch? I'm just going to keep pretending that's what it is

-17w6d

@meadow: lol!!! I have been doing some pretty mild walking the past week, bc I can't do hardcore exercise due to my bleeding incidents - I have been describing my workouts as very lame to DH as well; 10 on elliptical, 15min walk, etc

-15w5d

@catomd00: Congratulations! Yay for Girl. Glad your husband was able to make it to the appointment & you didn't have to stare at the envelope all day!

@Mrs. Pink: congrats!!

Hubby is super happy with another girl-- and we won't need to buy anything really!

@Mrs. Pink: congrats!! Girls are catching up I'm sure everything will be fine! Step away from Google!
