Hellobee Boards

@evansjamie: Let me tell you... having it transvaginal is.............. interesting. My husband was like WUT? It wasn't really bad except I was very concious of it and was VERY uncomfortable when she went to look at my left ovary.

@Jennimac: oh my. Well at least they found it sooner rather than later. I really need to get to the dentist ASAP.

@Lozza: I'll have to look into that. I'm going to have to find a store to go into though because I have no idea what size I am.

@T.H.O.U.: Woo, congrats!!! Just saw you are expecting #2, so exciting

@AprilK: thanks. I am heading to the dr tomorrow. It was my annual apt that was already scheduled so I'm going to keep it.

@Jennimac: I'm so sorry to hear about the possible root canal! At least you can find some peace of mind knowing that it was found in time for the procedure to be done during the first trimester.

@KJfromNJ: Sorry you're not feeling well today! I know it must be difficult with feeling so miserable, but try to stay positive and know that the symptoms you are having are all good signs that the pregnancy is progressing as it should be. Hoping you start to feel better as the day goes on today!

Hi everyone! Such sweet us pics!

I don't really have any news really - no more spotting, but hcg on Friday was 21000 and ok Sunday was 33000 which is just under 60% and gives me a doubling time of around 75 hours. I know that sometimes this can be normal, but everyone I talk to calls it "borderline". I'm going for another one this morning.

I'm trying to keep positive, but the uncertainty is killing me. At this point I've kind of accepted that this may not be our baby, but I just wish I knew for sure do I can move on if I need to... The ongoing morning sickness definitely isn't helping keep me rationale lol

Sorry for the downer post :s

@fuzzypeaches: I still think this is your baby. I'm praying for you and I hope that you find peace!

This morning, I had the worst burning sensation after laying on my stomach! Ugh. The area right around my uterus felt like I pulled a muscle. And my dog kicked me in the back non-stop during a thunderstorm, so I definitely didn't sleep well. Sigh.

@fuzzypeaches: Try to stay positive and not give up hope. Keeping you in my prayers today.

@Jennimac: So glad to hear you're feeling better!

@Jennimac: Good to hear!

@BunInOven: I felt like I was going to throw up on Saturday and Sunday if in wasn't eating every two hours. These past two days, I haven't felt like that totally. I think it's normal for your symptoms to vary somewhat day by day.

Hi everyone... Glad you are all doing well and hope the nausea doesn't last!

I think I am about 6 weeks (cant wait for the u/s to pin down the date) with still no symptoms at all besides maybe some bloating.. Which has me freaked out, but of course in 3 days when I get morning sickness I'll wish i never said anything

@Jennimac: So happy the root canal went well! I had one last year and was so anxious about it!

@BunInOven: I think that's totally normal! My cousin went to her GP like - 10 x because the symptoms would come and go and now has a health baby to show for it. But I'm starting to think that anxiety is it's own pregnancy symptom, because we are at the mercy of whatever is going on in there.

@KJfromNJ: Sorry you are not well today Baby is making himself at home already!

@Mrs. Monkey: @Jennimac: @BunInOven: @evansjamie: @runnerd: Thanks for the support ladies! I really appreciate it.

My third HCG came back again at around 58% increase (52, 500). It's not the most reassuring, but it's not NOT reassuring either lol. I moved my ultrasound up to Tuesday March 5th (earliest possible I could find - I love Canada, but this is the part I have a problem with). I guess I will just have to patient until then and stay as positive as possible.

On the wierd side, I have had a lot of people guess that I'm pregnant already (called in sick, no 10 cups of coffee, no drinking, sitting down instead of running around like a maniac). It's a bit awkward because I'm definitely not ready to be public about it. Have you guys had people guess already??

@T.H.O.U. I had MS from 6 - 20ish weeks the first time! I would be happy if I skipped it this time too

@fuzzypeaches the cleaning lady at my job already knows because she straight up asked me! I didn't have the heart to lie right to her face (she's a sweetheart and loves babies, and knew I wanted to have another one) but thankfully no one else was around, and she said she'd keep it quiet.

We've otherwise told our parents and one or two friends - people who we'd tell if we MC anyway.. my DH is ready to tell everybody after the u/s but I'm thinking to wait a few weeks after that to be sure.

Have a good Wednesday everybody!

@T.H.O.U.: I'm glad to see someone else without M/S. I feel like a freak because I've had two days of nausea and that's it.

@evansjamie: me too! Just a few days of uneasy stomach feeling and that's it for anything m/s like for me.

@KJfromNJ: I'm just now trying to catch up on the latest posts and plan to post an update, but WOW! I had the same experience yesterday... definitely interesting and uncomfortable! Will be looking forward to the belly u/s!

I've been really busy with work and just now able to catch up! It looks like a lot of people are going through similar things so I will just post my update as well..

My symptoms come and go, but barely there. Just the past week I've started in with all day nausea, but it's more like a nagging feeling rather than a run to the bathroom situation. I do gag a lot, but I have not gotten sick yet, so that's a plus! I def. feel really really sick if I don't eat often.... but I find that nothing sounds good then I scarf something down trying to feel better and make myself feel worse... it's a vicious cycle! I'm hating food/eating right now!

I had my first OB appt yesterday... thought I was at 7w2d. My doctor doesn't give an U/S that early, but made an exception for me!! I was so happy to see that little heartbeat! (134-- which they said is good?). According to the u/s I was actually 6w6d.. so that changes my due date to October 10th, I think? I follow up on next appt. March 22nd. The doctor politely laughed off most of my concerns and made my feel a lot better about the anxiety I was feeling! I will post the pic. later!

Another plus-- I was expecting a $200 bill at the end of my appointment, turns out my insurance pays 100% of all clinic visits. What a relief!

Bought my husband the book "My Boys can Swim" -- he started reading right away. Not really that informative but it's funny so he's good with it.

We have only told our 3 closest friends and waiting to tell any family until 12 weeks, just to be sure. It is really hard for me to hid at work... we have a lot of formal events this time of year and I've been known to partake in heavy wine drinking, so hiding that has not been easy. I'm just worried about the M/S progressing and getting sick at work and having to explain that. It's not easy for me to call in, since I work for a very small marketing department that has a big role to fill... we are always busy! Unfortunately, I did not sign up for short term disability when I started my job and I missed the last open enrollment, so the husband and I have decided I will save my PTO the rest of the year, have about 2 weeks paid leave, then will have to take the rest unpaid. I'm hoping to only take about 2-3 unpaid and to work something out that allows me to do some work from home/part time in the office for a few more weeks. It will just be hard because we will have a HUGE project and our biggest fundraiser at the same time that I will be on leave...

sorry for the long post
