Hellobee Boards

@ChattyCathy: I had the same thing a few days ago that's why I thought I was out this month. I'm still having some spotting and cramping. With my first LO I had spotting and full on red bleeding and everything turned out just fine. Try not to worry. My OB said unless I'm bleeding through a pad an hour or have intense cramps I can't handle then usually things are ok. Just keep an eye on it

@ChattyCathy: Hope everything is ok with you! I've been having some dull cramping, lower backache and some reddish-brown discharge today at work that freaked.me.out. But it didn't last long so I didn't even call my OB.

@NorCalWayfarer: thanks, and you too! The bleeding was only like twice in one hour. It was never like dripping or made it to my underwear or anything. So I'm not really sure if it's a bad sign or not? The cramping went away prob 4 hours but came back about an hour ago I really hope this is ok.

Side note: I told my mom what was going on because I was so terrified and she said,"well now that you miscarried you can lose more weight." hey, thanks mom! I feel like my parents are not supportive about this at all. Whatevs.

I'm trying to figure out if this is a normal symptom. I eat my normal usual amounts of food but feel extremely full and sick to my stomach like even 6 hrs later. It feels like the food has sat in my stomach the whole time. I even feel like I can almost feel it sitting there. Very uncomfortable. I took a heartburn pill and tums but it didn't help. Anyone else feel like this?

I was (still am) very nervous to join! it just seems so early still and i'm petrified of a MC. but here goes anyways....

EDD if you have one: March 12, from LMP
When Did You Find Out?: 15 DPO, while camping. We had been visiting family earlier in the week and so I assumed that maybe my LP was lengthening, but when I was three days late...I decided it was time, POAS at the campground, two lines came up right away!
Child Number: First!
Where You Live: Atlantic Canada
What kind of provider will you see?: Midwife - hopefully
When's Your First Appointment?: I had an appointment with my NP to put in a referral for the midwife services here, but haven't heard back yet from the Midwife yet.
What kind of birth do you want?: at this point I'd like to do it as naturally as possible but we will have to see.
What You're Most Excited For: a baby bump!
What You're Most Scared About: MC, i've been lurking these boards long enough and done enough research to see that it is pretty common....
Symptoms so far: Acne! i feel like i'm 14 again! and some light cramping, peeing lots...
Any fun plans for the summer (or winter in Aus)?: We are hoping to go camping again a few times, lots of days at the beach and DH is planning to do some major renovation work in the garage...
Share a picture of your bfp, announcement, &/or chart: I will as soon as I get it off my phone. We are hoping to tell my parents this weekend, it's early, but I know they would be so hurt if we didn't tell them right away. We are hoping to take some pics of us at the beach holding up a measuring tape and a caption that says "our family is growing by two feet!" haha, we always end up doing lots of renovations on our house, so it seemed fitting. I plan of print the pic and giving it to my parents to tell them.

@ChattyCathy: Hi! Sorry to pop in here (I'm on the Feb 2014 boards) but I like seeing who's joining March so far
Just wanted to tell you that maybe 5 or so of us on the Feb board have had spotting, including me. AND I've had a past M/C so I know its the first thing that crossed my mind too. And since then all of us have had our first ultrasounds and all is OK Just wanted to give reassurance that spotting (especially old blood) isn't necessarily anything to worry about (most times its not). I know its scary but since I've had 2 u/s I feel much better about it. I had some spotting after both appointments because apparently the cervix is especially sensitive when you're KU and the transvag ultrasound itself caused it!
So just try to relax

@ChattyCathy: Oh AND you should definitely get on DH's insurance (it'll be so much easier for so many reasons) ASAP and when you call an OB tell them about your history. They SHOULD give you a little extra TLC in the first tri to make you feel better and keep an eye on things.
I went to a new OB for this pregnancy and told them about my MC history (I only had 1 my first preg in Jan). They saw me at 5.5 weeks, 6.5 weeks and I'm going again at 8.5 (Monday). They just want to monitor growth and put my mind at ease. I highly recommend finding an OB that will do that for you, it makes a big difference (in my opinion).

Ok, sorry to crash this thread, ladies! xo

@Mrs. Champagne: lol, me too... I may or may not know my dates- I blame it on nursing and funky cycles, which is kinda true I just really want to get everything checked out asap.

I'm tired today, had to drag my sorry carcass out of the house today, when I really would have rather stayed in bed. Trying to keep things as normal as possible for C, plus I know I'll be happier doing things even though it's hard. Other than that it's just hiding this huge pooch that is all I see right now, my boss is super stressed this week- hearing this news is not something she needs right now.

My husband has taken over feeding cats in the morning, I almost yacked over the cat food smell yesterday morning (it was even dry cat food).

@runsyellowlites: Called the midwives today, I won't know until later in August if they will take me on!!! so late, so it was was recommended that we send in a referral to the OBS clinic in town.

the acne is unreal! I just ordered proactiv - the kind for teenagers...these zits have got to go!

We are off camping (again) tomorrow for the weekend, this time with my parents, and we are going to break the news! First granchild for my parents, and they have been not so subtle in hinting that they want grandkids for the past year! here is a picture we are going to put in a frame and wrap up for them to open. What do you think? I hope they get it right away!

We like to do renovations (is like the word...hmmm, well we seem to do a lot of them anyways!)

@lemondrop: I can't stand the dry cat food either! we had to move it to a room where i don't spend much time, I can smell it just walking by....yuck!

@mrs. champagne: best idea ever!

@mrsk: I love your announcement pic! so cute! ugh, I have a few pimples on my back! On my back! WTH? I hope this it because I'm gonna freak if it continues

@lemondrop: I feel exhausted and run down too, I'm trying to keep J's days as busy as before but it's tough!

@runsyellowlites: so happy you love your new MW, she sounds awesome!

I hope all you ladies with cramping get some relief soon!

I feel the moodiness coming...I've had to catch myself before snapping at DH. I hope I can continue to control it!

@mrsk that picture is so cute! I'm sure they will get it right away!

@mrsk cute take on the normal growing by two feet!

i haven't decide how to announce it! it has been really fun this time around telling close friends because I didn't get to tell people the first go around until I was in the hospital--so that was how I had to break the news I was pregnant. I am thinking like maybe a 1 fish, 2 fish, red fish, blue fish-rhyming type thing? Everything I've seen on pinterest I've had other friends do so I want to "try" and be creative!

EDD if you have one: March 14. According to my doctor, but I have a dating ultrasound to get a more accurate date.
When Did You Find Out?: I found out Tuesday morning
Child Number: 2
Where You Live: NW Ohio
What kind of provider will you see?: OB/GYN
When's Your First Appointment?: I had my first appointment today with the NP in their office. I love the NP, I plan to meet the rest of the doctors in the office during my pregnancy.
What kind of birth do you want?: I would like a similar birth to what I had with N. I went in open to not getting pain meds but back labor was awful.
What You're Most Excited For: Having a sibling for N.
What You're Most Scared About: MC, I am absolutely terrified about it. I am crossing my fingers and toes that everything remains well.
Symptoms so far: The worst morning sickness! Also peeing like every two point five seconds!
Any fun plans for the summer (or winter in Aus)?: We are hoping to go to the RenFest in Michigan. We also have a couple weddings coming up. For our anniversary we hope to get a cabin and just relax as our little family. Perhaps we may hike a little too.

Is anyone else showing yet? I already look like I did with LO at 15 weeks. Granted, with her that was tiny but at this rate I'm gonna blow up! I don't know how long I will be able to hide this for...

Just got back from the lab. I called the NP this afternoon after I had spotting/bleeding all day today. She recommended I go in to measure my hgc levels today and 48 hours later. We'll know more Monday (either early miscarriage or things are ok). Not looking forward to this weekend--we had planned to tell my parents, but apparently there may be nothing to tell.
