Hellobee Boards

@petunia354: I'm so so sorry! Sending your hugs and prayers!

@petunia354: I'm so sorry for your loss.

very hesitantly joining this group! I've gotten two very faint on FRER yesterday and today, but have felt pregnant for about 9 days just waiting to test.

Location: San Diego, CA

EDD: 10/21?

How far along: 3w6d

First child? #2 (I have a 16-month-old son)

First doctor appointment: not scheduling until I have some darker lines on sticks!

Any symptoms so far? yes! bloating, irritability, stuffy, excess saliva, twinging/cramping, tired.

Who have you told? I told my husband that I suspected I was pregnant a week ago, but when I showed him the faint lines this morning he was surprised - even though I prepped him all week!!

@petunia354: So sorry Petunia. =(

@LatteLove: Congrats!

The doctor finally called late this afternoon. My first ultrasound is scheduled for next Wednesday morning! I'm excited but I'm also very nervous.

The bad part of the phone call came when I asked about some sharp pains I started having after work this weekend. My job is pretty physically demanding... I work in assisted living and have to transfer my patients to their wheelchairs in the morning. Some are rather large and my doctor advised me to not to lift more than 15lbs.

The doctor couldn't say for sure whether or not the pains were from working, but I've had several days off and the pain went away. And considering my history of miscarriages, she doesn't want to take any chances. So she advised me to talk with my boss and find a way to get me out of the physical labor part of my job (which may not be possible), otherwise she was willing to fill out forms to put me on leave. So I'm really hoping that I won't have to quit my job for the remainder of my pregnancy.

@Kitkat: I keep saying that I want more signs too. Lol. All I've had so far is sore boobs but OMG do they hurt! I didn't get morning sickness too bad last time. Mostly car sickness and nausea if I went too long without eating.

@Kitkat: Feeling good! I get dizzy and my face gets flushed, but nothing crazy yet.....lol

@FaithFertility: woohoo!! I cannot wait to tell our families, but I think we're going to wait a couple more weeks.

I don't know if it's just in my head, but I definitely feel like I get out of breath way easier when working out now.

@avivoca: oh good, as long as I have a legit excuse

Speaking of symptoms, is anyone else have trouble sleeping? I never have trouble sleeping, but for the past week I've been waking up in the middle of the night/early morning and just been wide awake for an hour or two. Luckily, I work from home 3 days a week so I've been able to sneak some afternoon naps in

I can't believe I'm joining! It hasn't hit me yet.

Location: Kentucky

EDD: October 26

How far along: 3 weeks 2 days :O

First child?: Nope. 2nd. DS will be 2 in a week!

First doctor appointment: March 1st. I just found out my doctor has moved across the country! So sad. His PA can see me throughout my pregnancy though and I'm familiar with her so I'm glad. She just can't do my csection obviously. Lol

Any symptoms so far?: Fatigue. My telltale sign was that my scalp got really dry and itchy. My eczema flared up with DS.

Who have you told?: DH and my sister. I told T but he didn't seem to care.

@Kitkat: I'm only 5 weeks, but new symptoms seem to be popping up daily! I now have heartburn every evening, regardless of when I eat dinner. I've started going to sleep sitting up. I got sick for the first time 2 nights ago, but I was OK last night. I think I've figured out that tiny snacks work best when I start to feel iffy. Hopefully I can keep that up. Still cold all the time. My eczema is coming back, too. And I've completely given up buttoning my work pants, even though I've lost a pound this week! On the very happy side, we told our parents this week and they are over the moon. Their reactions were absolutely priceless! I wish we could have told them in person - or at least via facetime. It's hard being a time-zone away.

@petunia354: I'm so sorry, lady!

@Amorini: I haven't worked since Sunday morning and the pain was totally gone within a couple days. So I'm assuming that's it. I don't work again until next Thursday and my US is Wednesday. If everything looks OK with the baby, I'll talk to my boss. If she can't get me out of lifting, I'm going on leave. I'm not risking it.

@Kitkat: @avivoca: I had insomnia alllll week. Last night was the first time I slept all night. I slept from like 10-Noon. Lol.

I keep hoping for more symptoms, but only thinking about bad ones. But yesterday I realized my pregnancy nails came in! My nails are very weak. I have to keep them short or they'll peel and break all the way down. But no they're so long and strong. I love them!

@avivoca: Now those are the symptoms I want! Happy for you

@artsyfartsy: Yay!!!!!

Holy dry heaving I was the same with LO1

This is my first post on HB and it's a cautiously exciting one!

Location: California
EDD: 10/10ish
How far along: 5w4d
First child: YES!
First doctor appointment: Confirmed pregnancy at OB on 1/29, first u/s on 2/15
Any symptoms so far? Sore boobs, extreme bloating, crazy emotions. Tiniest bit of nausea but not too bad. It is definitely worse in the morning.
Who have you told? DH, and two best friends on other sides of country. And DH and I have each, separately, told one random stranger lol

@artsyfartsy: Thanks!

So I hate the first trimester, it's basically a game of hoping for the best and preparing for the worst. I've actually had extra energy this time around, so I'm tying to use the anxiety to clean and organize our house.

@Amorini: I feel tons of pulls and weird and painful sensations. I don't really remember if I ever did with my first, but last pregnancy they were almost constant those first few weeks as my uterus "awoke"
