Hellobee Boards

Hi all! I just got my BFP on Monday, but it was so faint, I was waiting for my lines to darken before I joined. I'm so excited to be joining you!!

Location: NYC

EDD: February 14th My Valentine's baby! It's actually kind of crazy because that's also my husband's birthday.

How far along: 3w4d

First child? Yes!

First doctor appointment: None yet, still trying to research and figure out who I want to go with.

Any symptoms so far? Nothing really, just some bloating.

Who have you told? So far just DH, but I will probably tell my parents this weekend. I talk to my mom every couple days and when I talked to her yesterday it took all my willpower not to tell her!

@swedishfish: That's annoying! Are you going to try to go in today?

@Aria: yay! welcome! I'm so happy to see you here :)@swedishfish: that's annoying

@Aria: Yay! Congratulations!

@Aria: Congratulations and welcome!

@Mrs. Coral: it's always kind of weird to not have to go in hey?

I had a dr appt yesterday to confirm ( just a urine test.) then went over some questions as I'm still breast feeding. She wants me to go for a dating ultrasound as I've only had 2 cycles postpartum. So I'll have that in 2-3 weeks then I'll go back to the dr in the middle of July. All boring until then .

I've been thread lurking for a little bit but I think it's time for me to join

Location: southern NJ

EDD: By date of last period, February 12

How far along: 4ish weeks?

First child? Second.... DD will be two and a half when the new baby comes

First doctor appointment: June 23rd

Any symptoms so far? Sore boobs, fatigue and bloating

Who have you told? Just DD and DH.... And now Hellobee lol

I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone!

@autumn865: welcome and congrats!
@swedishfish: looks good! Thanks for doing that!

Any guesses if you'll deliver on time or close to? I was 2.5 weeks early with #1, so I'm guessing this one will come at the end of Jan.. around the 27th

@MrsB2012: I was induced one week late with R. She arrived at 41+1. I'm sure I'll go late again.

Hi ladies! I just made an appointment for my first ultrasound, so I guess this is happening!

Location: TN

EDD: By LMP, 2/12

How far along: 4 weeks

First child? Yes!

First doctor appointment: 6/30

Any symptoms so far? Sore boobs, mild nausea (but that might be all in my head...)

Who have you told? Just DH, HB, and the doctor's office. We'll tell our immediate families after the appointment on the 30th.

Looking forward to experiencing this with you all!

@HeartAbandoned: congratulations!

@swedishfish: Love the calendar, thanks for making that!
@HeartAbandoned: Congrats again!

I made my first appointment today for 6/24! She made it based on my LMP, so it's going to be pretty early for me because of my long cycles, I'll only be 6w3d. Anyone know if you can see anything on an ultrasound that early?

Location: Massachusetts

EDD: Feb 7, 2015

How far along: 4 weeks

First child? 2nd. DS is 21 months old

First doctor appointment: haven't set it yet (perhaps I'll call today!)

Any symptoms so far? Hot flashes! Hormonal craziness. Full breasts, light cramping.

Who have you told? Just my husband.

How is everyone feeling today? Are you doing anything to get ready for baby yet?

I am feeling good. My biggest symptom so far is sore/heavy boobs, and that isn't changing. I also seem to be having some indigestion, but nothing too bad. I had a dream last night that my first pregnancy craving was Chick-fil-A chicken nuggets. I wouldn't be surprised if that turns out to be true!

I downloaded a couple of apps yesterday - Sprout Pregnancy and I'm Expecting, as recommended by some other Bees. I'm excited to use them! I also had DH take my first weekly photo yesterday. Thursdays are my week-change days, so I figured we could get started! We also started talking about where the baby's room will be. Our house is 3 bedrooms, with the spare rooms currently used as an office & guest room. There is furniture moving in our future, but we'll wait until later on the pregnancy to make any major changes.

@HeartAbandoned: I've been feeling good so far. Just a little bit of cramping yesterday, but otherwise no symptoms to speak of. This weekend I hope to start cleaning out the future nursery while I'm still feeling good. It's just a half bedroom attached to our bedroom, but right now it's full of all the junk we didn't know what to do with when we moved in.

@MrsTal: I hope your beta goes well!

Congrats everyone!!

Location: Massachusetts
EDD: February 6, 2015
How far along: 5weeks
First child? yes
First doctor appointment:Had beta levels checked went from 58 to 343 ( 17dpo) so really excited! First Dr appt is July 1st i will be 8wks
Any symptoms so far? Bloating, sometimes feel VERY hungry, tied in the middle of the day, sensitive nipples and my boobs look so weird like they come to a tip very odd lol
Who have you told? My husband, my mom, grandma, close family, will tell my in laws on fathers day

My question is do you ladies have bloating that comes and goes?? All last week I looked huge and super bloated even up until yesterday very bloated. Today i dont feel bloated at all... is that normal? I had a CP in March so just very aware of symptoms and just hoping its normal

@Marzipan & Mtex14 great to see other Massachusets mammas.

@Mtex14 your symptoms sound like mine. Every once in a while I suddenly feel completely not pregnant. I also had a chemical so the disappearing symptoms really freak me out.

@MrsTal good luck on your beta!

@mtex14: congratulations! My bloating comes and goes too. I think it's normal.

@marzipan: welcome!
@HeartAbandoned: I'm feeling pretty good. Some cramping which makes me nervous haha. I never had any with my first. Aside from that and being exhausted, I'm all good in the hood. My dr said if I stop breastfeeding that I'll have quite a bit more energy, but I'm not ready for that yet. I hope to make it until the end of July ( her 1st bday. ) but my supply is tanking so I'm not sure I'll make it until then.
I used Sprout and the babycenter apps the first time around. I liked using them together. One had good information and one had good pictures haha. I put them both back on my phone now.
It's always exciting talking about the changes you'll be making to the house hey? We have to decide if we will buy another crib, or move our daughter into a toddler bed. She will be 18 months when the new babe is born, but the new baby will sleep in our room for the first 3-4 months most likely. Lots of decisions!

@MrsTal: Good luck with your betas today

@Aria: I've never heard of a half bedroom attached to the master. That's so handy!!

@mtex14: Congrats and Welcome! I know that some days I feel super bloated and some days I feel normal, so I'm sure that's normal. I know all my other symptoms will come and go as well.

@autumn865: Like I said above, dd will be 18 months so we're trying to figure out if she will be OK moved to a toddler bed. I guess we will just have to wait and see. The crib we have is one of the ones you can make into a bed so worse case, we just buy another crib and then use her crib as a bed when she's ready. I'd rather just buy a toddler bed though I think. How old is your daughter?
I've also been browsing the maternity clothes haha. I hear the second time around you show a lot earlier. I don't have much from the first time, just a couple pairs of shorts. I'll need pants this time around as we will be going through the winter. It's so expensive here! I see a trip to the States in my future to get some better deals

Holy this board is moving today!! Glad to see lots of new faces

@MrsB2012: I've had a fair amount of cramping too! I never had that with my first. Though I'm surprised how poor my memory is of last time! My son is only 21 months old, but I found myself Googling "what to do in the first trimester"! Like what to eat (and not eat), etc.
