Hellobee Boards

@runsyellowlites: I'm so sorry for your loss.

@runsyellowlites: I hadn't seen the post. So, so sorry to hear.

Hey all! New March momma joining in. Hope you don't mind! I'm due March 5th with our first and I can't wait to meet LO!

@catomd00: Welcome!

I've been so tired these past two days. I'm loving it! Such a change from my stupid insomnia last week that made me so sick. I just hope the tiredness lasts tonight and that I fall asleep early so. Can wake up and be at work at 6 blah! I might go get some unisom though. Does anyone find it helped sleep at the same time helping the nausea?

@runsyellowlites: I'm so sorry Sending positive thoughts for you and your family!

Hi everyone. Hope your Monday is off to a good start..

Mine kind of sucks because it's rainy and storming and I just got back from a week long vacation at the beach. Booo!

We told our family when we arrived on vacation.. 3 days before I hit 10 weeks. It was my mom, step dad, FIL, MIL, SIL. They were SO shocked and happy. I thought my mom knew but she had no idea!

The next day we told BIL and his wife. Of course the second we tell them she says "I KNEW IT!" UGH. She's been accusing me of being pregnant for the past year, so obviously at some point or another she was going to be right! She drives me mental.

That's all the people that know for now besides my BFF. I made it VERY clear that no one was allowed to say anything until my 12 week ultrasound. Everyone was understanding... and then my step dad emailed his dad and told him!! He lives far away and won't tell any one, but it was pretty frustrating. So my mom yelled at him and told him he better not tell anyone else.

ANYWAYS - long story short, great trip, and everyone is pumped! I'll be 11 weeks tomorrow and my US is next Thursday... 10 days away. Can't wait

@Mrs. Champagne: Yay! Glad it went well this weekend

@ChattyCathy: LOL - you're silly! Why do you keep checking your cervix?? You don't want to cause an infection by checking it. At this point, you just have to trust that you're pregnant until you hear otherwise from your doctor. You'll drive yourself nuts constantly stressing and checking (and the stress is not good for the baby - or you). The first trimester is tough because you don't have a bump or kicks to remind you that all is well. But soon enough, that will come - I promise! Just try to relax and bask knowing you're pregnant

@ChattyCathy: you are pregnant! Stop checking your cervix! I don't want you to get an infection.

Just wanted to check in with the March mamas!

Love and hugs to @ShayNanigans and @runsyellowlites. So sorry for you loss.

Oy, so a few weeks back I wrote about how I felt I overexerted myself swimming and I was so freaked out the few days after, you'd think I'd have learned...
This weekend I walked probably 3 miles around the city with my friend, including a few big hills. I haven't been very active since being pregnant so of course I was feeling pretty winded and toward the middle of the walk I was getting all crampy in my legs and just felt tired. We only took a few small breaks and I wasn't drinking a lot of water so now I'm completely freaking out that I've done something terrible and my next appointment isn't until Sept. 13th. I tend to worry like a madwoman and can be a wee bit of a hypochondriac so I'm trying to reassure myself, but gosh if it isn't hard to now worry in these early stages! I just feel so guilty and silly for not thinking that it could be an issue until I was in already feeling poorly.

@chattycathy I think the nausea is a good sign! Stop checkin!

@fussygal: Don't worry - I have overexerted myself more than I should this pregnancy, since DD is so active (and now super clingy). As long as you listen to your body and give it some rest, you'll be just fine. Babies are resilient. One day won't make that big of a difference, as long as you give yourself some rest and drink lots of water to make up for it

@lemondrop: Dude! So jealous of you right now. I swear I had a couple of nudges over the weekend when I was in bed, but I think I'm still way too early for that (only 9w 1d). I passed it off as gas, but it really felt like movement. I can't wait to start feeling those little nudges!

@fussygal: I know what you mean. I worked a longer shift than normal on Saturday and I felt like crap Sunday morning. I'm a children's librarian so I'm up on my feet a lot. Plus I got busy and I don't think I drank enough water for a couple hours in the afternoon.

I also worked yesterday which normally isn't an issue but I am so tired today and feel a bit off. Trying to take it easier today but since I nanny 3 kids MWF it's not as relaxing as I would like

@BabyBoecksMom: Cam was poking my belly button (not very gently as I'm sure you know!) and I felt something nudge back! Sibling rivalry begins.

I swear if I hadn't felt it before, I wouldn't notice it at all, but I concentrate on that feeling all the time now... my obsession!. It didn't feel like gas, and I'm convinced a prune/olive sized thing inside going ape shit is noticeable if you know what to look for

@MamaChin: I haven't really felt pregnant at all! I don't check my cervix, I'd have no idea what to look for and I wouldn't want to get an infection.

@ChattyCathy: Nope, I'm taking some classes at a community college nearby. I've been very slowly working on a business degree over the past few years.

Glad to hear most are well. I had an u/s last week and baby was moving around a ton. Feeling good and getting very big! OB says I'm due anywhere from Feb 27-Mar 8. Only symptom really bothering me is my annoying tongue problem! It felt like I burned it last week and now it just feels bitten around the sides. It really hurts! Super bizarre and I'm chalking it up to the pregnancy because I have no idea what else it could be.

Love that you ladies are all doing so well. The losses have really affected me and I can't help but feel guilty...I know it's irrational but I can't help it.

I started a job on Thursday - it's only part time but full time for a month while training. OMG is it the hardest thing in the world to leave my LO, dive 45 mins, work for 8.5 hours, drive for 45 mins, make dinner, eat, and spend a few minutes of quality time before our bedtime routine. I miss him so much and I am so exhausted! Kudos to all the WOHMs!

On a happier note, my MS has got so much better! It's still there first thing in he morning and when I brush my teeth but its so much better the rest of the day Yay 2nd tri!

Hey Marchies - I haven't posted in a while! I had a scan today at 12w5d, my first one!! Everything looks good apparently, but my blood pressure was a bit high (not surprised, I was FLIPPING OUT before the appointment when they took it - first scan and all, worried they wouldn't find anything in there like most I'm sure!) It feels a lot more real now!! I couldn't believe there was actually a little baby with a profile and a spine and everything in there!
Glad to have the day off work now, my husband and I just moved into our new house and I'm doing some cleaning up and settling in.
Hope everyone is still doing okay!!

Ok it's me again with the irrational fears.... How do you keep yourself busy for a whole month til the next appointment? And if the baby was 10.4 weeks and I saw it dancing and heard the heartbeat what are my chances of miscarriaging? I thought I would be feeling more comfortable and I did for a day but now I can't help thinking the bads blah!

I'm sorry I'm the emotionally unstable one of the group.
