Hellobee Boards

We've told all of our immediate family plus a few close friends (and DHs work). I didn't want to tell anyone else until 11/12 weeks, but we were at a family wedding yesterday and told my aunts, uncles and step-siblings. It was totally worth it though to see their reactions in person We did have to make it very clear that we aren't making any announcements outside family (mostly trying to make sure they don't say anything on FB), but I'm still a bit worried one of them will leak it!

I'm a bit nervous about telling my job, just because I have no idea if I plan to return after March and if I did, what it would look like. I'm waiting to tell them until I around 12 weeks.

@BabyBoecksMom: oh wow! You deserve a day off! I get cramps too if I do too much or work out at a higher pace. It's scary at the time though!

Aloha! I just joined this website via a friend sending me an invite. I'm excited to be a part of this online community so I can relate with and gain wisdom from the rest of you mommas. So here goes!:

EDD if you have one: Doc said March 7, Ultra sound tech said March 5. Color me confused. O.o
When Did You Find Out?: June 28
Child Number: First babe
Where You Live: Maryland
What kind of provider will you see?: OBGYN
When's Your First Appointment?: July 8th
What kind of birth do you want?: Typical hospital birth, with hopefully little whining from my own mouth (I'm a baby when it comes to pain).
What You're Most Excited For: A healthy baby & the next phase of my life with my husband.
What You're Most Scared About: Having a hard time adjusting to motherhood and becoming isolated/depressed.

Any fun plans for the summer (or winter in Aus)?: Probably just going to spend time with the hubby while I can!
Share a picture of your bfp, announcement, &/or chart: None to share.

Bao: Thanks! I figured as much with the dates. I secretly hope for a birth date of 3/3 since 3 is my lucky number. My dad likes to hint that it's close to his birth day of Feb. 24, of which he would not mind sharing with his first grandbaby!

@PixieStix: Welcome! My sister used to be an ultrasound tech and she said, in the beginning especially, that the date on the ultrasound can vary by up to a week compared to your estimated due date.

@Mrsjets: I got bumped down to March 30th at my dating ultrasound... booooo!

@Mrsjets: very true - I hadn't thought of that! All I could think of was that I'm now the last person on the list - haha! And this very well could be an April Fool's baby

@PixieStix: Welcome!

@BabyBoecksMom: I'm right there with you! I have April 1 in my head though based on when I think we conceived... we'll have to flip the meaning of that day if thats what's in store for us

@PixieStix: congratulations and welcome!!
@MrsRcCar: I have a rather large reusable water bottle that I constantly fill throughout the day. Having it with me all day seems to help me remember to drink more!

I had my second prenatal appt today! I'm 10 weeks 2 days. We were able to hear the heartbeat. It was amazing. Beating at around 170!

Hope everyone is well!

I'm having some spotting It's very light, only when I wipe, but my pelvis is a little sore. I called my OB office and I'm waiting on a nurse to call me back. I've been spotting a little here and there since Sunday, but I didn't feel alarmed until my pelvis started getting sore.

It sucks...I hope they can get me in to check things out.

@Dandelion: oh man I hope they get you in soon and find out baby is perfect. Thinking of you.

@fussygal: I am going to do something with DS - I was thinking of a simple 'I'm gonna be a big brother' shirt. But I don't want to do it until I feel comfortable with it on Facebook. I posted my first pregnancy related thing at 20 weeks last time but I'm already showing that much now at 12 weeks!
Don't be nervous about telling your boss, it's ok not to know what you want yet! I didn't know I wouldn't be going back until my (1 year) mat leave was almost over.

@Dandelion: I know this doesn't help, because it didn't really help me, but a lot of people do have spotting and cramping. I had them at around 4 weeks then again at 6 weeks and knock on wood I am still pregnant many weeks later. I know it's hard. Just try and take it easy When is your next US?

@PixieStix: Hey again! Since you are new I wanted to let you know that if you click "reply" next to the persons name who you want to comment to, it will send a notification to them so they can see what you said. You can also reply to multiple people at one time, which is great! I hope that makes sense it took me a while to learn some of the tricks of Hellobee so I thought I would share one with you!

@PixieStix: There you go! And I got an email saying you replied to me so I didn't miss anything

@X0X0X0: yay! how old is your DD? lots of second time mamas for march!

@ChattyCathy: i probably won't register since i just had a baby last year! we have pretty much everything we need. i registered around 25 weeks or so with my first.

@X0X0X0: welcome!!

@X0X0X0: yup, I understand!

@X0X0X0: Congrats and Welcome.

@PixieStix: I need to find a good big mug that I can take with me easily. Perhaps it is time to dig for my jamba mug.

Yesterday I had a pretty good day in terms of feeling ok. I got a full day without medicine. Today I have not been so lucky. I am staying home today and just going to rest up. I am hoping to feel better soon.

Has anyone else lost weight since they found out they were pregnant? I am down a little more then 10 pounds. I know my doctor is going to have kittens when I go to see her on September 3.....

@matador84: Ahhh I'm so jealous of you right now!

@X0X0X0: Welcome and congrats! We have the same EDD!

@MrsRcCar: I have the same one as PixieStix and it has been such a help to have all that water with me at all times.
