Hellobee Boards

You guys, I am freaking!
Two days of brown discharge and very light spotting. No cramps, still feeling nauseous (or terrified?)

I called in sick so i can get into the Dr. I know so many places say it's normal, don't worry but I just feel so anxious about it and keep thinking its because I ran, or I'm not eating enough or drank enough water.

Ugh I'm losing it.

@fuzzypeaches: definitely keep us updated! I had some brown discharge that was due to a YI. Praying for you!

@KJfromNJ: @evansjamie: @knockedup_nowwhat:

I did make it in to see her - it's too early to see much on u/s (only 5w5d) so the plan is to do serial hcg (one today and then one Monday bc nothing is open Sunday) and go from there.

So ill just cross my fingers and hope it was just a little pocket or something! Ill keep you guys updated for sure. I love this board.

@knockedup_nowwhat: We've had a boys named picked "William Thomas" nn Will or Liam. but if i actually have this baby on my due date - my grandpop's birthday he may end up with Carmen in there somewhere. No clue for girls.

as for telling people we told or parents and our siblings. I told my cousin who is practically my sister. we have our first appt in a week or so. once we go to that we'll consider if we want to start telling others

@Chillybear: Carmen would be a really pretty girl name (first or middle) if that works out!

@Chillybear: Gemma with a J is one of our names! But we don't like it with the middle name we want to use for our first girl so that'll be for a 2nd girl if we have one. You are lucky it's a family name! We liked it since SOA

@KJfromNJ: My husband won't even think about names until we find out the gender. Then even after that he won't "agree" on one until after the baby is born. He's so annoying about it! Last time we each had a name that we liked and he said he was "waiting for a sign"... then a friend of ours used his name like two months before I was due. I was so excited and thought he'd def agree on my name after that but he wouldn't really give in until the birth, when I guilted him into using my name by pushing a human out of my body. But the good news is that I think he'd have let me name the kid "spoon" at that point if I'd wanted to! haha. So hopefully he is less infuriating about it this time!

@Chillybear: I KNOW it's it the best show! I only catch some of the ep's as DH watches them and I love them. Though it can sometimes get a little dark and I have to watch Rules of Engagement right after to clear my mind

@AprilK: that's so weird that people would assume that! I hate when people push on weird nicknames. My MIL (crazyville population 1) started callnig my nephew Charlie-pop (like lolly pop) and we ALL said we hated it and she just keeps it up. Then again, I call him Charlie Badger so I'm probably also doing that.

The E boy name for us is my mom's maiden name (without the S at the end) and the middle J is my FIL's name as well as my grandpa, uncle, and cousin's name. My SIL used that as her son's middle name after I told her we'd use it, and even after telling me she was using something else. I tried to think of an alternative but then I said you know what, I don't care!

@fuzzypeaches: My doctor also said it is common to spot during the first trimester. Rest as much as you can this weekend and, although it is so much easier said than done, try not to stress. Let us know how you're feeling this weekend!

@Chillybear: @KJfromNJ: @KaitlynB: I have the biggest crush on the guy who plays Jax. He's a total babe! I was shocked to find out that he's actually British!

Two weeks until my first appointment! I am super excited, and so is DH! But first, he must get well. I feel kind of bad, he got food poisoning from McD's chicken nuggets (that he got when I was craving fries and a shamrock shake) and now he's got a head cold.

@fuzzypeaches: glad to hear about the reduced spotting!

@fuzzypeaches: I'm so sorry you've been having a scare with spotting. I'm glad it's stopped!!!

Afm, I had that horrible cold, which then led to tooth pain. Well, it wasn't tooth pain but an infection in my salivary glands. But, Thursday night I ate a snack because I had I take my progesterone and I bit down and something now has hurt one of my teeth in the back. I had to go out of town yesterday and I wasn't still completely sure it wasn't related to the gland issue. It's so weird. It's my crown, but it doesn't hurt with hot or cold. It just hurts on the top of the tooth. I'm going to leave a message at my dentist's office this afternoon and maybe he can fit me in tomorrow or Monday at the latest.

So I've had a mini breakdown on these issues, but I'm trying to remain calm. I never had anything like this before so that (oddly) makes me feel better. I'm not even sure why, but it does.

Hope everyone else is doing well! Oh, and I'm starting to feel sick if I don't eat immediately when I start to feel hungry. That's making me feel better because I didn't really have any kind of sickness with our first pregnancy.

@fuzzypeaches: yay!!! Glad to hear it has lessened, and hope Monday brings great news.

@Jennimac: it's great that you can see differences to help you feel more confident! I've been feeling sick I I don't eat right away too. I almost cried when chick fil a told me they were out of breakfast today. McDonalds chicken biscuit was a good stand in though!

@jennimac: I've been wondering where you went off too! I hope you feel better!

Monday will be 5 weeks and pretty much all of my previous signs of pregnancy have gone away. This makes me panic but there is nothing I can do but wait. Same thing happened with our previous pregnancy that ended in mc so I think I'm over aware right now.

Since everyone is ahead of me, how did you all feel at 5weeks? What were your symptoms?

ETA: I feel so stupid even asking because I know I'm just worrying for no reason, as google likes to point out everytime I search about symptoms leaving.

@jennimac: thanks for replying. I needed a logical answer so I googled and googled. What I've come up with is that a lot of people lose their symptoms between 4-5 weeks because your body has gotten used to the hormones and then they typically come back like crazy between 6-7 weeks so maybe I should enjoy the next two weeks of not feeling like poop! I feel like our mc is haunting me. I'm so nervous now that the inital excitement has worn off. I keep telling myself that all of my labs came back great and I don't need to worry but it's hard.

@ladybee: the worry and fear are normal no matter what so its only natural to be nervous bc of the previous m/c. I think the only thing that helps is time! I have had relatively no symptoms, only sore boobs, and at nearly 9 weeks. I have to talk myself off the worry cliff every day! time sure does crawl in these early weeks, but it'll be doctor and u/s time before you know it!

@ladybee: week 5 was the best for me! Week 6 hit me HARD just like you said. Week 5 I took 2 pg tests just to be sure, so I get it!!

@KJfromNJ: me too. We got out in the yard to take apart the garden plot, and I was beat after a few minutes of raking. I'm still not used to the fatigue.
