Hellobee Boards

@stiletto_mom: I'm so so sorry!

@stiletto_mom: oh no I am sorry for you.

@Amorini: we were team green last time but near the end baby was breeched and tech said at last ultrasound oh it's a boy. This time we are team green until delivery.

@KrzyRiver: awww hahah sorry but this made me laugh! Excpet for the cramps and such I'm sorry!
I had a temper tantrum with DH with DD about under cooked chicken, he kept asking if it looked pink, I flipped and tossed it all in the sink! Not my proudest moment

This insomnia more time for me to just lie around being anxious.

@whiskers: Normally I suffer from insomnia during the tww so I feel your pain. I usually take a warm water bottle to snuggle with. It eventually puts me into a deep sleep. Nowadays I can mostly get back to sleep except now and again.

@KrzyRiver: Good luck with your scan! I think you're entitled to kick an ottoman over at least once a pregnancy. I'm saving mine up for a little later...

I think I have a UTI ladies. Classic, right? I can't get an appointment until at least tomorrow so today might be a little uncomfortable. It's not the worst right now and I think I can just pound water, grin and bear it until then.

@jaguar: Good. Has the spotting stopped?

@KrzyRiver: Ugh sorry for the rough day. I've had good days and bad days too. I hope your ultrasound goes well!!!!

@Amorini: Oh yuck. Like early pregnancy isn't bad enough without a UTI! I hope you get it solved soon

@Amorini: Oh man, that sucks. Like we don't have enough to deal with when pregnant, right?

@artsyfartsy: Try not to stress and just try to enjoy every day that you're pregnant. A lady on The Bump told me she repeats this mantra to herself every day. "Today I am pregnant and I LOVE this baby." It has really helped me get through these early weeks.

Ultrasound went great! She said the heartbeat right away and she says baby is measuring right on track with my LMP! The doctor will call me later today with my instructions. After multiple losses, I was terrified, so I started crying when she immediately saw a heartbeat.

@KrzyRiver: Thank you!

@whiskers: I took a test two days after my first and after analyzing it to death I decided it was a little darker. After that I decided to quit. I wanted to do a digital to have that pretty PREGNANT right in my face and now I'm done. Haha

@artsyfartsy: Lol. My cheapies expire this month anyways, so I figure it is not wasteful to use them. I did have a scare the other morning when I didn't wait long enough. Today's was the same as the control line so I think I'm just going to save my other ones if I have a scare or something.

@jaguar: I'm glad you're feeling better. I hope everything goes well at the doctor tomorrow!!

@jaguar: Happy to hear the spotting eased off. I had a lot of cramping with some light spotting over the last few days. Not sure how bad your cramping is... mine was pretty bad. But it's normal, try not to worry unless your doctor says you should.

@jaguar: Happy to hear spotting has stopped! Many prayers for tomorrow!

Thanks for the concern about the uti, ladies. I haven't had one in a zillion years but I had a stretch of time back then when I had one every few months. So anyway, I got to know my body and when a uti is creeping up (yesterday) and when it's time to drop everything and get the prescription (today). Actually more than once, I saw a doctor on the "creeping in" days and tested negative. Strange. Anyway, I'm very nervous about taking an antibiotic in the first tri. Better than not taking it and no other option, but I still don't like it.

@artsyfartsy: Hooray for 4 weeks! Thanks for keeping up the list. I love looking at it!!!!

@KrzyRiver: Yay for seeing the heartbeat!! I hear you on the anxiety front and I love that mantra. One day at a time. How have things worked out with your job?

@jaguar: Thinking of you and hoping the best for today!

Anymore scans coming up?

@whiskers: Ah, thanks for the commiseration! Do you remember which antibiotic you were prescribed? Earlier today I thought I would do urgent care, but I took one step in the place and turned around....too full and they didn't take any insurance. $150 to see a doc to get a $6 prescription. Fortunately there was a cancellation at my regular doc so I'm there now!

@Amorini: I go on March 1st but I'm not sure if I'll get an ultrasound or not. I'll be a day shy of 6 weeks, so I wouldn't think so. But why else would they want me to come in at 6 weeks instead of 8? We'll see

@Amorini: Waiting to hear back from my boss now, but my team leader didn't give me a lot of options yesterday. Her suggestion was for me to put in a 2 weeks so I can reapply when my restrictions are lifted and/or after I give birth.

I've got another scan next Wednesday and I'm nervous again. I got the full report from my US in my email this morning and there's some things in there the nurse didn't mention. Like my dermoid cyst has grown and they saw a peri gestation hemorrhage. I made the mistake of googling that and freaked myself out.

I'm assuming they didn't say anything cause their not worried, but of course all I found are the doom and gloom stories so my anxiety is back.

@KrzyRiver: do you have short term disability? If so, and if your not able to do your current job you should qualify for a benefit.
