Hellobee Boards

Ok, so I am so not used to posting on these boards! My lurker status didn't help me figure out how to write posts correctly. Was trying to write back to a few of you, and because the thread is now on a new page, I lost the @'s with the names - does that make sense? How do you all reply to everyone without losing what you previously wrote?

Anyway, welcome to the new January ladies! And love reading through everyone's updates. Love how this thread keeps growing!

@sorrycharlie: @namaste: Welcome ladies! Congrats and glad to have you here!

@Oliviapope: @Kelli_Deluxe: This is how I do it too...

So I went to the dr.'s office this morning to get my blood draw for testing for that weird virus. If I am not immune to it I'd have to take medication to make sure it doesn't get passed on to lil bean. Another thing to fret about. Also I seem to have caught a stomach bug. NOT FUN and it doesn't exactly ease my worries about the lil bean... I wish it were Monday already...

@Pumuckl: Thank you! So sorry about the stomach bug. It's been going around here so I've been steadily trying to avoid it.

@ValentineMommy: Ugh nausea and peeing all night here too. The only sleep I'm getting is daytime nap intervals.

@ValentineMommy: I made the switch to full time WAH for my business in February and never did I think I would appreciate it so much. I give all of my kudos to WOHMs!

I keep getting lightheaded today...just took a hot shower (I WAH on Wednesdays) and had to sit down afterwards to catch my breath. I'm chalking it up to the little babe growing like a weed in there! How's everybody else feeling today?

@ValentineMommy: @namaste: Thanks ladies. Feeling a little better after a 3h nap this afternoon. But I did end up calling in sick to work, luckily I was working from home today anyway. Since all I pretty much need to do my work is a laptop, phone and internet connection I'm able to do it regualarly.
I have been peeing a lot too. But I remember it was a symptom last time too. It stopped at about 7-8w and didn't return until the very end.

@mfa_lady: Def. the baby growing up a storm in there. I had some bloodpressure issues as well. I ended up wearing compression stockings at like 4m until the end. Not exactly pretty but very effective. It kind of scares me that it would mean august this time though... (B was a march due date baby. born in april)

@ValentineMommy: I totally understand! DH gets Mondays and Fridays to WAH with his job as well and it's surprising how little that helps when we have our business needs throughout the week. Those two days aren't enough.

@mfa_lady: I was light-headed often last week. Today, I'm steady with working but still the occasional nausea and slight headache.

@keepcalmcarrie: I am right there with you with those symptoms and worries. That paragraph might as well have been taken out of my mouth! Happy Anniversary!

This is the 3rd morning in a row I've woken up at 5a completely worried and overwhelmed. I pray, try to think of other things, then come up with a whole speech I'm going to call and tell my doctors office at 8a about how I need weekly betas or an early ultrasound. I finally fall back asleep then wake up feeling better. It's exhausting!

@mfa_lady: My sore/hard boobs "disappeared" today; I spent 5min groping them in the kitchen this morning. Not feeling sick but had my first aversion during breakfast which made me happy!

@Pumuckl: I'm sorry you're sick! I hope this bug passes quickly.

@ValentineMommy: Nausea is so awful.... But so good at the same time. Never thought I'd say that! Haha

@keepcalmcarrie: happy anniversary! I was also thinking about Anya and so upset it happened to her.

I have had on and off nausea but my doctor gave me a script for zofran which worked like a charm. She said it was safe to use but I'll only use it if I really have to.

@keepcalmcarrie: Happy anniversary, lady! I'm sure you'll have a great time tonight--sleepy or not.

@Kelli_Deluxe: My main consolation on the less-than-sore boob front is that they're still huge. (Well, I guess that's relative...but for me, they're huge.) I figure all that soreness was them growing...and, well, they've definitely grown. Glad I'm not the only one groping myself! (That's me hanging my head in shame. Ha!)

@ValentineMommy: It's the pits!! I'm doing it right now...I'm hungry, but I feel gross, but I know I need to eat, but I'm full even though I'm hungry. WEIRDEST. What would it feel like when your BP would spike? Wondering if that's pretty much what's happening to me.

@Pumuckl: Our third anniversary is in June, too!

@ValentineMommy: Sounds about right. I've been having clamminess with my lightheaded spells. Ugh!

@Kelli_Deluxe: thank you! I'm going to try to get the hang of it. I like the idea to just write back one at a time if I can't get it to work!

It's crazy, I have also been waking up at 5 am the last few days. I wake up with a start and can't figure out what's waking me up. I honestly think I'm still adjusting to the news, stressing myself out. I hope it ends for you soon!

@Pumuckl: hope you are feeling better soon - the flu/viruses are no fun :(. I don't know how you get through it taking care of a LO. I can be such a wimp when I'm sick (though DH is worse) but I guess that will have to change in the future!

@ValentineMommy: I am having the same crazy bloating - definitely my strongest symptom. Are you able to do anything to alleviate the nausea? Mine comes and goes, but is definitely there at night. More like an uneasy stomach during the day.

@mfa_lady: I have that out of breath feeling sometimes too. Do you have many other symptoms? Mine kind of come and go which is hard to get used to. Trying to see them as a good sign!

@keepcalmcarrie: happy anniversary! Hope you have a nice time celebrating.

@namaste: I wanted to say I love your name! I have done a lot of yoga in the past, but none since my bfp. Are you taking prenatal classes? I have to look some up in my area.

@sorrycharlie: same symptoms here! DH was making fun of me yesterday for blaming my gas on pregnancy - but I really think that's the case for me!

@sorrycharlie: Preach, girl. By the end of the day I totally have a bloat baby already. Haha!

@Oliviapope: Yeah, the out-of-breath stuff is rough. I'd rather have that than intense morning sickness, though, so I'll take it. I'm 6w2d today, and my symptoms are coming and going all the time. Mostly I just feel a little "off," for lack of a better way to describe it. I've been waking up early, too--it's so weird! I'm so exhausted but I keep waking up before my alarm. Lame!

@charmed: Next time any of us gropes ourselves, we can just think of our Hellobee buddies across the world, probably all doing it at the exact same time! Hahahahahaha. I took my last test last week, too--I mean, I had one, might as well use it, right?--and the test line was so dark there was hardly no dye left for the control. Overkill? Yes. Encouraging? Also yes.

Okay, I think it's official that whatever MS/nausea I have is happening at night, post-dinner. Last night and tonight (6w1d/6w2d) I have started to feel super pukey around 8PM. I know it means I need to eat...but it's so hard! My husband is making me white rice right now. Ew! But it's the only thing I can even consider at the moment.

Also, this is really bizarre, but I have a real fear (I'm not talking "I hate it, it sucks"--I mean an actual, true fear) of vomiting...so I'm praying it doesn't get that far! I have generic Zofran from my first pregnancy if I really need it, but I hope it doesn't come to that.

@namaste: my boobs are pretty big too (D or DD). I think I'm more worried about how big the girls are going to get than I am about labor

@Oliviapope: I have around 15 wondfo/surepredicts left, so I'm like eh, why not? Pee on all the sticks!

Thanks for all the nice wishes

Just woke up with LO, went in to soothe some fussies, came back to bed, and got hit with severe nausea. Threw up my anniversary dinner (ew, sorry).. I'm 5w5d. Sounds about right - I guess MS has arrived, and I guess I'm relieved to have symptoms again, but can't a girl get a break in the MOTN?!

@sorrycharlie: hahaha, that gassiness only get worse!! lol

@Oliviapope: I've found that little snacking throughout the day helps the nausea a bit, just to keep something in your stomach. I'm sure it's not going to help my waistline in the long run though!

@mfa_lady: did eating help at all?? I hope your m/s is better today!!!

@keepcalmcarrie: oh no!!! I hope you feel better! That really stinks!

No groping of boobs for me! Mine stopped hurting (for now). I wish they'd get bigger though! They barely changed for my first pregnancy, and they look the same now.

Weird (possible) pregnancy thing for me - I seem to be developing carpal tunnel. It is SO painful. My hand burns SO badly. I'm praying it's a pinched nerve or pulled muscle or something because I can not take this for 9 entire months!!!

@Oliviapope: SO slowly! My appointment is tomorrow and I can not wait. I'm hoping it makes everything more real....though I'm thinking since there's no u/s, that it probably won't.

@Kelli_Deluxe: for me it was no on third betas with both REs I saw. Once they saw doubling they just scheduled an ultrasound around 6w.

@Kelli_Deluxe: My doctors didn't require a third either.
