Hellobee Boards

Yay! So glad this board is up! I guess I'll be the first.

Location: Canada
EDD: March 10th 2018 (we will see what the first scan says though)
First Child?: This LO#2
Any Symptoms: Nausea when I forget to eat and so sleepy as of 2pm
Who have you told: DH, BFF and Mum & MIL
Current Thoughts/Feelings/Fears:

Excited but nervous about having two kiddos, hoping I'll be able to handle it. Hoping for a healthy pregnancy and I can keep active right up until the due date like I did with DD1

Can't wait to chat with all the other March mums

I'm also very excited this is up! Here's to a happy and healthy 9 months

Location: Florida

EDD: March 23, 2018

First child? No, this will be LO#2. My daughter will be 3 on Halloween!

Any symptoms? Not really, just some mild cramping/fullness in my lower belly and some breast tenderness

Who have you told? My husband, best friend, and a couple of key coworkers/friends

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? I had a miscarriage in May so I'm obviously very scared of that. Also juggling two kids and how my daughter will feel about a new baby. Finances as well. So, a lot!

@SweetiePie: yay! So glad the transfer went well for you, and a boy! How wonderful.

I have a little girl and although I really want to just have a healthy baby, I'm so interested in what it would be like to have a boy.
I can't wait to have a scan. I'm seeing my doc on Friday!

We will have a 3+ year age gap too, I think it's nice that my DD got to really be the baby and have lots of one on one attention

@Mrs.Panda: oops I do t know my gender yet, that's sweetie pie

@StrawberryShortie: Oops! Fixed it I find that I'm having fog brain this time around already hahaha

I'm in Tampa! It is very hot here lol I went to Canada a few years ago (Guelph, Toronto, Markham) and it was soooo beautiful! I have toyed with the idea of picking up and moving up there, but the winters are so brutal, especially for a Florida girl

@SweetiePie: Yay to a successful transfer and Yay to knowing what you're having!!! That is so exciting. I want to know ASAP lol

@StrawberryShortie: I'm hopeful that this means they will stick if they're causing this much mayhem already

I'm just here as a cheerleader DD will be 3 March 2nd. Out due date board is still super close- I could not have imagined what amazing friends I would meet. Lots of love to you ladies.

@youboots: awwww that's amazing

Thanks for the love xoxoxo

@youboots: thanks!
And question - did you need summer maternity clothes at all with a March due date? I'm just curious. I'm a shopper and going through withdrawal not being able to online shop like usual. Want to get some great sale summer pieces but unsure Id even need them.

@StrawberryShortie: ️@Mrs.Panda: yay! I'm loving this 2 1/2 age (mostly).@SweetiePie: not really. But here it's only summer through mid September. And I'm a photographer so I can wear whatever I want. I loved Gap maternity leggings and flowy tops or maxi dresses. I'm a shopper too but I resisted maternity wear until I really needed it. I do recommend a really nice pair of maternity denim. I got Paige skinnies on eBay and one new pair at Nordstrom and lived in them for 7 months- I specifically remember going to NYFW in September and wearing my maternity denim and normal tops around 13-14 weeks.

@SweetiePie: I am going to have to get summer maternity since it's summer like, ALL THE TIME here How did the ultrasound go?

I didn't think about eBay for maternity clothes!! Woo!

@SweetiePie: so exciting about the ultrasound. I can't wait to see my little noodle.
Yes! Super sore BBs, like don't even walk by me it hurts

Doctor appoint today at 2pm

Location: St. Louis

EDD: March 3rd ( the EXACT due date of my DD who will be 3 in March, she was born 6 days late but same due date)

First child? DD born March 2015

Any symptoms? Sore boobies and slight nausea - feels like hunger pangs - this is new because my past two pregnancies i had no symptoms

Who have you told? Most of my friends and our families. After my miscarriage in October i felt alone going through that because no one knew. Personally i don't like that our society makes miscarriage so taboo and secretive and makes women and dad's deal with it alone. So this time I'm not hiding it.

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? My ultrasound is next Friday and I'm nervous because that's when we found out about the miscarriage last time. I'm trying to stay calm and comforted by my symptoms. Also we did IUI with monitoring and i know there were 2 mature follicles on ovulation day, so I'm nervous/excited for a chance at twins. My beta tests were great (though not so high to indicate twins) so I'm really hoping this one sticks. After our loss we didn't get pregnant until after the due date of the loss, which was an incredibly hard time for me, so if we have another miscarriage I'll be devastated.

@LaughLines: I'm not on this board but hope to be if I get a BFP this coming week. But I really wanted to say that I totally agree on telling people. I told a few close friends and one brother (my mom died years ago or I would have told her) and then discovered a missed miscarriage at my first u/s in May. While i was so so so crushed, I was glad some of my best friends knew as talking to them about it really helped me. While I decided I would probably never feel comfortable posting on social media about a pregnancy - if I get pregnant again, I'm telling close friends and family when I feel ready regardless of being outside of the risk of miscarriage.

@Mrs.Panda: I'm too afraid to POAS! I am 7w1 so it'd be silly I guess but I had VERY few symptoms and not like #1 so I called my OB in a panic. She calmed me down a little bit.
@MrsJBeeG: I'm with you about telling people. I think it puts positive energy (and prayers if you're into that) out there.
@StrawberryShortie: It's funny, a reason I was freaking out is I have literally NO breast pain. Mayyyybe my nipples are a little sensitive. And my boobs have grown. Odd though right? Maybe because I've been on and off progesterone while TTC and my body is used to the influx of progesterone? Idk.

@StrawberryShortie: No, St. louis doesn't get that cold... It snowed once last winter and melted the same day. And in the summer it gets scorching hot and HUMID. Right now i don't even want to go outside ever. 100 plus degrees and so humid it feels sticky

@MrsJBeeG: i never really thought of itty way until we had our miscarriage, but it's really hard to deal with alone and you don't know which friends have also gone through it because they haven't told either. To me this seems so weird. You wouldn't hide it if your grandma died, why do we hide pregnancy loss? I don't post much on social media so i haven't put anything on there, but i have seen posts about miscarriage and I'm always proud of people who do that. I hope it starts to become more open in the future..i also hope you get to join this board! Ttc after a miscarriage is so tough

@pachamama: due date twins!

@LaughLines: we are humid over here too, I need to wring myself out. I love cutting my grass but it's not happening today lol

Location: Maine

EDD: March 20

First child? 3rd. DS1 is 4 and DS2 is 2.75. I've had two CP's in November and January and then an ectopic in March that resulted in emergency surgery and removal of my left tube.

Any symptoms? Light cramping, a lot of fatigue, and maybe some nausea in waves today.

Who have you told? A SIL I'm close to and who has gone through 2 losses while I was going through my recent three, another SIL, and DH told MIL last night.

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? I'm a bit of a disaster. Pure anxiety. Terrified of another ectopic and then one tier of fear down is of another loss in general. The EP fear is so high stakes as I only have one tube left...

@knittylady: thread stalking to say that I'm excited to see you here and I am crossing all my fingers for you!!
