Hellobee Boards

@mrsjyw: Thanks!!

@My Only Sunshine: OMG!! YES!! DS was never a great sleeper to begin with. Makes me nervous of what to expect in the future with two kiddos. Eek!

@Alivoo01: congrats!

@NovBaby1112: @Leialou: Thanks ladies!

Hi Team! I'm back. I had to switch usernames because I'm my previous username on everything and I got really paranoid. (It started with an F) I was following some new boards on pinterest and my friend was like "Do you have something to tell us??" I'm only 4w2d and I was like.. sh-t.

So I'm back! We're going to tell my parents this weekend Valentines day gift, and his folks the next (my MILs birthday).

I had a freak out on Saturday (We found out on Thursday) and had some spotting. Still having some brown spotting but only when I go to the bathroom. Anyone else?

Other weird symptoms: aversion to milk (I love yogurt and ice cream but every time I try to eat them, I get dry mouth), cramps like i have gas. Ug and fatigue.

Woo hoo!

Hi all! I just got my 2nd beta numbers and everything looks good so far, so I'm going to cautiously join I was an Oct 2012 mama too!

Location: NYC
EDD: Oct 15 (3 days before LO1's bday!)
How far along: 4w4d
First child? nope, LO will be exactly 3 years when this LO is born.
First doctor appointment: I had two betas done so far--12dpo was 75 and 14dpo was 262! First dr's appt and ultrasound will prob be the first week of March

Any symptoms so far? random tingly boobs, veins definitely more obvious on my chest (this was actually my tip off that I might be pregnant), more tired, some cramping. And really vivid dreams every night.

Who have you told? DH, both sets of parents, and my sister.

So excited to join you all!

@hilsy85: I'm glad you joined us!

@natalie403: welcome! I think there are 4 of us (including you) that has had IF and 3 of us (with you) have gotten pregnant by IVF! Welcome. Such a great month for all of us.

@babybronco: Lol! Yeah, I've had to switch up usernames so they would find me on the various social media sites I use.

@hilsy85: welcome! I remember following your journey for your first LO.

@natalie403: So glad you're on here!! You have an awesome group of October mamas here - especially all of the IF ladies that were able to "graduate" at the same time! You are in such good hands with them

@BelugaBean: oh wow! That is a long time to wait, but at least you have another appt where you can hear heartbeat!

I know it's early, but is anyone having random cravings? All I want to snack on lately are choc covered strawberries- I've gone through 3 huge cartons of strawberries and 2 cans of choc frosting in a week

@NovBaby1112: that sounds so good! I've been craving spicy foods. My diet had been great until this weekend when nausea hit. Yesterday I ate mostly carbs.

@hilsy85: that's too funny, normally I'm a huge carbaholic but nothing really sounds good to me except fruit, veggies, and meat- so unlike my usual diet!

@Leialou: sorry about the MS! Has it been bad mostly in the AM or all day? I'm a little queasy but haven't thrown up since a few days ago, thank goodness

@babybronco: your comment made me LOL

@NovBaby1112: When I'm pregnant, I just want to drink juice. Exact same craving as with my daughter and it already came on so strong! I never really drink juice in non-pregnant life but my last grocery trip I bought OJ, pineapple juice, cranberry juice, and peach nectar! I think it's that tart/sweet thing. I mix them with sparkling water so I'm not getting too much sugar.

@Leialou: Oh man I hope your MS isn't too bad! I've had occasional waves of it but nothing too long-lasting so far. Last time, from weeks 8-18 I felt that feeling like I had just gotten off a boat.

@hilsy85: oooo interesting! I would love to have a little boy next (but would love another girl too!) we'll see!

@My Only Sunshine: haha whoa that's a lot of juice! That's too funny

@babycanuck: try not to worry- with my first LO I had literally zero symptoms and everything was fine! I couldn't even believe I was pregnant. All pregnsncies are different...your betas look awesome and are doubling so that's what matters

@babycanuck Same here. I'm really not having any symptoms and it's so hard not to worry. I know everyone's different so I'm trying not to worry. This is my first so I have nothing to compare it to!

@babybronco Yes! Glad to have someone else going through their first! Seems like so many people on here are on their second or later.

@BlueStriped Bee: Yay! Glad to have another first-timer too!
