Hellobee Boards

@mtex14: You're about 4 weeks right? I had a lot of cramping and low back pain when I was at that point, along with major breast tenderness (which I still have). My cramping has subsided but I still have occasional low back pains along with the ever wonderful m/s.

@Mrs.Panda: You rock!

Ok ladies appointment roll call so Mrs. Panda can make us a calendar!

My first u/s and Dr's appointment are both on 4/9

@mtex14: at 4 weeks I had on and off cramping and breast tenderness. The symptoms would definitely come and go!

@Mrs.Panda: You are so sweet to keep us all organized! My next appointment is tomorrow. It's a "come on, let's see a heartbeat appt!" same as @ChiCalGoBee:

***My First appointment is April 10 as well as first US

Thanks @Mrs.Panda: for keeping such good track of us hehe!

Thank you all for making it easier for me! I don't know that I'll be able to.make a calendar that will be legible but I will look at making a list so we all know when things are coming up

@Sprite: great idea with the ***!

@mtex14: you're very welcome that's what we're all here for, to support and help each other. I am 6w 4d so I'm just a little bit ahead of you, so any questions don't hesitate to ask

Has anyone noticed their boobs growing yet, I've had a lot of tenderness since the beginning but didn't think they would actually grow yet, but my bras are all getting tight, so the other day while at the mall I decided to get measured and I've already gone up a cup size. I was busty to begin with and the fact they've already gotten bigger terrifies me...anyone here that already has a LO, how much did you grow with your first?

@katieleigh_82: I was a 32F before I was ever pregnant. I wore a 32G at the end of my pregnancy, and my nursing bras are a horrific 34H/I. I will say that they've recently settled out closer to an F/G again, and I haven't noticed them get any bigger this pregnancy.

@Mrs.Panda: You're amazing! Thanks for keeping us all in order!

@rattles: yikes, those are some big girls! Does your back kill you?!?

I was a 38D and they just measured me at a 38DD, anything above D makes me nervous I already have issues with neck/back pain from them I can't imagine them getting bigger. DH on the other hand is thrilled other than the fact they're so sore I won't let him hear me haha!

@Sophs Mama: yay we're having our u/s the same day! I promise, you don't want them to grow, they're overrated lol, but I'll gladly donate to you if you really want them

@DeannaY1230: I was gone for several days and there was 5 new pages I was so shocked at how much I missed! Yay for a great appt today and for seeing the "flicker"! Bummer that their machine didn't have audio I think that's the thing I'm most looking forward to is actually hearing the heartbeat...now I'm worried about what kind of machines my Dr's office has.

@DeannaY1230: Wonderful news about your appointment going well!

Can I please vent for a moment? I am SO OVER spotting. It has been a continuous cycle between pink, sometimes red, brown and back to pink since Sunday night. It has got to stop at some point, right? I mean, at least I know what is causing it, but every time it picks back up again my stomach can't help but drop and it is not helping my nausea (which coincidentally seems to pick up every afternoon, as does my spotting) to see blood. I would really just like to go an hour without having to worry about it, but of course, that is how often I'm having to pee these days. Just so tired of it!

@Mrs.Panda: such cute pictures! That's so cool that you can start seeing the head and limb buds, not just a blob!

Does anyone know at what point they stop doing internal ultrasounds and start doing abdominal ones? At what point can you actually hear a heartbeat, not just see it?

@thisisme: I was wondering the same things about internal vs external u/s and also when the heartbeat is audible. Lots of us going in on the 9th!

Hi ladies! I've been away for a little bit but I'm loving all these updates! First appointments are coming up so soon for those of you who haven't had them yet!

****My next appointment is 4/15 - the day before I hit the second tri! I can't believe how close that is. Felt like I'd never get there.

@thisisme: I heard the hb at 6w5d. I think it just depends on the equipment your doc uses as to whether you'll see it or hear it.

@Mrs.Panda: Thanks for keeping up with the list!

@Sprite: So sorry about the spotting. I had it for a couple weeks from 6w to 8w and I know I was so over it because every time I went to the bathroom, it was a reminder. Hope it passes very soon.

I tried to find a way to make this a pretty list but with the frequent changes that are bound to happen I decided a regular old POAS list was the way to go

@Mrs.Panda: thanks for doing this! I am having both an US and appt with the Dr on the 9th. Since my Dr is a high risk OB, he actually has a separate US clinic in his office. So we have an US appt at 1pm and then go to the other side to see the doc at 1:30

@Mrs.Panda: ahhh gotcha!

@Mrs.Panda: Thank you! Hoping I do actually get a US tomorrow....I'll let you know when I get home!

@katieleigh_82: Thank you so much. I appreciate your thoughts! I'm so nervous, but am glad it's finally here.

@mtex14: Mine go back and forth from day-to-day if that helps? I look more bloated some days than others, and level of nausea (even though I don't think I've had proper MS yet) varies from day to day and time of day. I also had an intensely sore back for the first week or two, and that's since dissipated. Hang in there!
