Hellobee Boards

Does anyone else not have many (or really any) symptoms? I'm 6 weeks 3 days now, but really don't feel much different, minus the ridiculous bloating. I've had some very mild nausea but I'm not sure I would have noticed it if I wasn't looking for it. I don't even feel any more tired than usual. I know I should probably just consider myself lucky, but I'm starting to get a little worried that I'm not feeling more!

With my first, I didn't have much in the way of symptoms at 6 weeks either (MS kicked in at 7 weeks), but I know my boobs were really sore by now. At least that was something!

@SeptMomma12: My morning sickness kicked in about a week ago and I am totally miserable. I pretty much spend my days suffering through work and spending the whole evening in bed trying not to move. I actually wish I was throwing up because then my nausea would come in waves instead of being a constant, 24 hour thing. I know it could be much worse but it's hard to care as I am now, lol. I was going to try to tough it out until thirteen weeks, but I called my doctor's office and they recommended a b6/unisom regimen. Has anyone else tried this? I googled it but I found some conflicting information.

@jetsa: yaaaaaaaay!!!!! I'm so glad you are here my sept13 buddy!
@Ms.Badger: Glad everything is looking good at your US

@blackbird: @jetsa: We totally keep referring to this LO as a boy too, it's just so hard to imagine the other sex when you've only experienced the one..... I totally don't have an instinct as to what I'm having but we'll definitely found out as soon as we can
@Mrs. Sketchbook: yayyy welcome and congrats @SeptMomma12: I don't have alot of symptoms either. I am tired but LO#1 is teething and not sleeping great so I can't really say its a symptom! I am definitely bloated though no ms yet.....
@kick641: I am sorry you are feeling so ill. I had it bad the first time round and it really sucked.... I hope you find something that helps. I was prescribed something but I can't remember the name of it sorry!

@dookie32: I know! By saying that, I pretty much guaranteed I'm going to be sick next week, right?

Hi all! I'm feeling more & more confident this will be a sticky baby, so I think I'm ready to join in. We lost our 1st at 6w in May, so can't wait to pass that point next week. 3 great betas over the last week, though, so that helps build my confidence.

EDD: May 26

How far along: 5 wks today

First child? Yes!

First doctor appointment: Oct 6: 7wk u/s with the RE we didn't end up needing any actual treatments from, after all.

What type of medical professional are you seeing? After I get the "all clear" from the RE, I'll probably go back to the OB I saw after my m/c. I am curious about midwives & doulas, though.

Any symptoms so far? Maybe a little more tired than usual & so hungry! Sore breasts & a little mild nausea.

Who have you told? Only medical professionals: my nurse, acupuncturist & massage therapist, so far. Dying to tell friends & close family, though!

@SeptMomma12: Since 4 weeks, I've had mild nausea at least 2x a day and now it's slowly increasing in frequency. Something inside me tells me it's going to be a girl! With LO1 (boy), I had no morning sickness at all and only sore boobies.

@GoGoSnoGirl: Welcome! My due date is may 26th too! Fx for a sticky baby

@Mrs squirreld: @enjollah: @Ms.Badger: thanks ladies... I do feel like I jinxed myself, though, because this morning after using the bathroom I realized I was bleeding & passed a clot. I cried & begged for this not to be a m/c & called my dh & RE's nurse. She has me taking it easy & I'm to check in again with her this afternoon. I just feel sick to my stomach worried. I'll be continuing to get beta draws since my PCP set up a standing order for them with the m/c last time. Please keep me in your thoughts that this IS a sticky baby.

@GoGoSnoGirl: So sorry, sending you lots of sticky baby thoughts!

@GoGoSnoGirl: Fingers crossed for you!!!

@Bigskygirl: I'm so sorry to hear your news. I hope you can heal physically & emotionally & you get the baby who is meant for you one day.

@Bigskygirl: I'm so sorry.

@Bigskygirl: oh no I'm so sorry to hear

@Bigskygirl: Aww, thanks--and I for you, dear. It is so hard to see how these situations will eventually play out when you're in the middle of it, but I try to believe everything happens for a reason. Take care of you.

@Bigskygirl: So sorry to hear this sending you prayers for comfort!!

@Bigskygirl: I'm so sorry to hear about this! Hope you are able to rest and heal.

@Bigskygirl: I somehow missed this last night. I'm so sorry. I am sending lots of healing thoughts and hoping for an easy recovery. Please take care of yourself.

@Keppa: @Mrs. Sketchbook: @Mrs. Lovejoy: thank you ladies. I JUST got the latest beta & thank God, it is still rising normally, so with that & the fact I haven't spotted or bled today, I think I can calm down again.

I hate that I assumed the worst & got so upset yesterday, but with one m/c already under my belt, it really was the easiest assumption for me to make. Deep breaths...

@Ms.Badger: thank you so much. Yes, we already had a 7w u/s scheduled & my RE let me schedule a 6w one yesterday. That'll be Tue morning. I'm hoping we can still do both, b/c DH can't come to the 1st one with me. He's been my rock & yet I know he's so nervous & excited for this to be our sticky baby, finally, too. He should get to check in on baby as soon as possible, too.

@Keppa: I'm sorry you were feeling anxious yesterday. I think it is normal, but it sounds like you have a lot of things going on that can help take your mind off it. Keeping fx this week + goes quickly for you so you can get a look at your little bean & get some reassurance.

Just got back from my first appt and everything looked good Ultrasound showed a healthy little blob and we got to hear the heartbeat. (My 2 year old was with us and said "whoa!") It's measuring a little small for my LMP date, but more on track with when I think I ovulated, so I think my date will probably be pushed back a little. They do another ultrasound at 8 weeks to give an "official" due date, so for now I'll stick to May 16.

The only bummer was that the doctor said I'm not a VBAC candidate because DS was so big (22" and 8lbs 14oz) and got stuck. He said the second will most likely be even bigger and the fact DS couldn't fit through my pelvis makes a VBAC impossible. That's the first I heard of that, so I'm going to do some more research, but I was pretty disappointed to hear it from my doctor.
