Hellobee Boards

@Alivoo01: Thanks! My birthday is the 28th lol.

@NovBaby1112: I used Sea Bands and they really helped me.

Other things that help nausea: ginger, ice cold ginger ale, acupuncture, eating a (Saltine) cracker before getting out of bed, hmmm what else?

@babybronco: I found a midwife practice today! Made an appointment for March 12. I'm already nervous!

@glimmersnaps: glad to see someone use accupunture. I've been using it for the past 2 years to get pregnant and I'm happy that I can continue treatment now that I'm pregnant. I will see her next week and will ask her to treat the fatigued I'm having.

Ugh nausea woke me up at 5:30 and I've been throwing up ever since. I never had this with dd so it's so foreign. I hope I'm okay at work??? I'm a teacher so it would be super awkward and difficult to throw up in peace!!

@Charm54: ugh sorry! Hope it passes!

Uuugh 3 weeks until my first appt and I feel like the time will pass so slowly Anyone else feeling really nervous that their first appt is so far away?

@NovBaby1112: my Ob said she would see me sooner (at 6 weeks or so) if I really wanted to, but she really recommends waiting, just so you can see more. Also, I think even if i had an appt at 6 weeks, I still wouldn't relax until after my 8 week appt (if then), since if I had gone at 6 weeks last time, everything prob would have looked fine...so now I need to get past that point! I need to think of more milestones, and keep myself busy. At least this is a long weekend coming up!

@hilsy85: I know what you mean! I have two weeks until my ultrasound and it feels so far away.

@NovBaby1112: I just ordered a pack of sea bands so I'll let you know if they work! My morning sickness takes the form of vertigo and wooziness more than throwing up, so I'm thinking the sea bands might help since what I have really feels just like motion sickness. Right now the only thing that helps is drinking gallons of water and chewing fruit flavored gum. Pregnancy is so weird.

@hilsy85: ugh yes. My Obgyn appointment is March 5! I have an appointment with my primary next Tuesday for something else but I'm going to sweet talk him into checking me out.

Morning sickness is no joke! I hate feeling hungry and queasy at the same time. I haven't found anything that settles my stomach yet. I tried sprite but it tasted too sweet. The bubbles were nice though. Has anyone tried preggie pops before?

I'm craving spicy, tart, and sour foods. I'm not liking meat unless it's a very small amount.

@bluestriped bee: thanks for keeping the list updated! My next appointment is actually 3/4 for an ultrasound. Don't make me wait any longer than I already have to

@bluestriped bee: Oh I didn't even notice that! Yup, no appointment on 3/9

@Leialou: I used preggie pops when I was pregnant with my son. I don't think they're much different than hard candy, but they seemed to help that queasy feeling. I never really had much morning sickness though.

So excited for all of the appointments in the upcoming weeks!

@Leialou: that feeling is the worst- queasy but hungry and nothing sounding good.

Today though I was craving a hot dog. Like an amazing hot dog with all the fixins. Didn't get that craving fulfilled!

@Leialou: ugh I feel you. I have the weirdest food aversions (and the harder I try not to think about those foods the more I think about them) but I'm so nauseous if I don't eat. My co-teacher looked at me a bit funny today because from 8am-9am I had 2 granola bars, Gatorade,some saltines and an apple. I think she knows what's up haha

Cautiously joining! I'm excited but nervous after a miscarriage in November. I'm starting to feel a bit better because my hcg at 13dpo was 169 and today at 14dpo the test line was darker than the control, but we'll see what my numbers are like tomorrow.

Location: North of Boston

EDD: 10/22 by ovulation date.

How far along: 4 weeks

First child? Nope, DS is 18 months

First doctor appointment: tomorrow is the intake appointment with a nurse, but my first appt is March 5th with the OB when I'm 7 weeks.

Any symptoms so far? Fatigue, moodiness!, sore boobs, vivid dreams.

Who have you told? DH, and a few of my girlfriends

Morning sickness my arse. It is 9pm and I just got my first wave of nauseau. I'm trying to watch scandal!

@NurseDMB: welcome! And congrats!

@NurseDMB: yay welcome!!

@NovBaby1112: your numbers sound great to me! There is such a huge range, but I think if it will make you feel better it wouldn't hurt to get another beta test done. I think for me it would make me go crazy, because then I would obsess about the numbers. But really, 138 sounds really good for 14dpo!

@NovBaby1112: ummm I totally want to do the same thing! I'm also nervous because my progesterone was basically the exact same from 12-14 dpo and I"m just so nervous that it has dropped, and that something is wrong and I just don't know it yet. I am thinking of going into the office next week...

That being said, I think your betas were fine! The doubling is what counts.

@NurseDMB: thank you...you're right that there's such a big range, it just makes me nervous I am on the low end compared to everyone!

@hilsy85: lol I totally have had thoughts of calling and requesting more blood work but I'm not sure if "I'm just nervous about my levels" is a good enough reason and they will think I'm crazy! I just think my mind keeps going down these what if scenarios, and it's not good. Ugh. I think I will feel more relaxed after my first US next sat( if everything looks good of course). I don't know much about progesterone levels so no help there, are they supposed to rise like betas or stay relatively the same? Your hcg levels were super high though! I actually though twins lol when you posted yours

@Leialou: true true! Next week cannot get here fast enough! Thanks for looking that up! I guess I would feel better if mine were way higher than the median lol.
