Hellobee Boards

Location: CT

EDD: Oct. 3rd

First child? 2nd pregnancy, first child

Any symptoms? exhaustion, cramping, bloating, nausea in the car (this one is new for me)

Who have you told? husband & friend at work

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? My husband and I have been trying for nearly 2 years. We were planning on finally visiting an RE in January...then we received our first positive in December. I ended up having a loss at nearly 7 weeks. This month, my fertility monitor told me to test (earlier than I thought), so I did and I got another positive! Praying and hoping this is a sticky baby!

EDD: Oct 2nd

First Child? Baby #3, pregnancy #4

Symptoms: morning sickness all day long, bloating, and I'm exhausted but that could be from keeping up with a 3,5yo and 18mo!

Who have you told? Husband, GP, my mom and friends from a mom group. I plan to tell my boss on Monday and although she knows we want another child I'm still nervous..

Current thoughts? We had a m/c in Nov at 6w2d that went unnoticed untill 8 weeks. I'm nervous for everything to go well this time. The weeks go by so slowly! And I worry a bit about how we'll manage with three kids!

Location:NC

EDD: October 1/2 depending on calculator

First child? Second

Any symptoms? None which is kind of concerning

Who have you told? My husband, sister, and my mom group from DS

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? Just hoping and praying that this pregnancy is healthy and results in a happy healthy baby

@sugarbee: I was thinking the same thing! Where is everyone? My last board from my previous pregnancy was SOO active.

@sugarbee: My first one is on the 21st, right at 8 weeks. When are you scheduled?

I'm lurking while I see if this baby is going to stick (I've had a bunch of chemicals so I'm waiting for a nice dark test). I hope to join next week but we'll see!

@bhbee: fx!!!

@mrsvdv: Yay. I'm ready for Wednessay to get here so I can have some kind of info. I'm praying everything is going well, if not I want to know that too. I HATE the first trimester, I'm a huge worrier.

@Synchronicity: I'm just waiting out this weekend and if all still good I'm jumping in. I need a place to park my crazy for first tri

@Synchronicity: ooh exciting! I haven't called my OB yet but I'm thinking it will be 8w or so. Really missing my 6w scan at the RE from the last times!

Hiiii everyone. I thought about waiting to join as I had a MC 6 months ago, but I'm trying to be positive and even if things don't work out, I'm going to enjoy this whether it's a few weeks or for life!

I'm from OH.

My EDD is October 10.

This is my 3rd pregnancy, no births yet.

My SO knows, parents, boss and am starting to tell friends (it was a little obvious when I wasn't ordering alcohol for my birthday gathering at a brewery, planned before i knew).

As far as symptoms I've had sore boobs, and a slight sour stomach off and on (closest thing to morning sickness I guess but nothing too bad yet).

I'm trying to be cautiously optimistic b/c of my past mc's, but trying not to worry - which is hard b/c I'm so good at it

Ok I'm going to follow in the positivity mode! I've had to take myself off an October board before but whatever will be will be right?

Location: TX now although I have spent most of my life in Midwest or on east coast

EDD: Oct 19 maybe?

First child? Third ... and my 7th lifetime bfp due to chemicals. hoping my last for good reasons

Any symptoms? I'm super sensitive to hormone changes even when not ttc so I started to feel weird pretty early. Lots of cramps.

Who have you told? Just people I don't know on the bee! I'm planning to tell dh this weekend, I wanted to see what happened for a while after testing. May tell some family after first ultrasound, not sure. I think we may get some weird comments about having a third!

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? A little bit of everything. Kind of numb and won't let myself feel anything good. Definitely worried about all that can go wrong but aiming for zen. Also definitely worried about handling #3 and especially the pregnancy. I was sick until 16w last time and dh told me he's going to be working more evenings. But on the flip side I'm excited to tell my oldest if we get that far!

Location: Upstate NY

EDD: 10/22/17-ish

First child? 2nd, 4th pregnancy

Any symptoms? Passing waves of nausea and minor cramping

Who have you told? DH, my OB, and the Bee!

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? M/C!!!! This BFP is coming off of a natural M/C cycle, so I terrified of another loss. Also, some bee posted a thread about CMV, so now I am also afraid of birth defects from a virus that I may already have and can't realisitically prevent myself catching if my toddler comes down with it (seriously, like I'm only going to kiss DS on the top of his head? Not change diapers? Wash my hands even more obsessively? Ugh!). Yeah, I am a worry wort.

I will go for betas over the weekend and will see my OB on Tuesday. Because of the recent loss, I will receive extra monitoring.

@azjax: ugh I know what you mean on cmv! Im just going to try not to think about it. We live in a potential Zika area too once summer comes

Has anyone here had experience with home birth? I keep going back to the idea. Maybe it's the Aquarius in me but I am drawn to the idea of a water birth.

@azjax We do not have birthing centers where I live but we do have several hospitals around (don't how prevalent a water birth option is and the one I know if I'm not keen to go to). There are a few local Midwife organizations that come to your home. I would have to remain a low-risk pregnancy to work with them.

October 2017 Mamas!

This thread is quiet! How's everyone doing? @coleycam: @mrsvdv: @chanzi: @sugarbee: @mybell208: @bhbee: @azjax: @mrs. dukes:

@sugarbee: thinking good thoughts for you! What testing will your appointment involve?

I got accepted as a patient with our local midwives (they are in high demand here so I was worried I would get waitlisted or denied!), but my first appt isn't until March 14th. That feels like 6 years away! I have an appointment with my primary care provider on Monday but no idea what she will do... possibly bloodwork? A urine test? No idea!

@azjax: I have no idea! This process is completely new to me. I think the first appointment is just health history based and then they schedule an ultrasound for after that? I'm a little jealous you get to do all of that so soon!

First tri waiting is the worst!! I had early scans with my first two due to seeing an RE so 8w seems far away but I wouldn't wish to be needing an RE again so I'll take it.

On the fun side I saw my brother today whose wife is 8w with their #2. He couldn't stop talking about their pregnancy and having four cousins by Christmas and it was kind of fun to have a secret that it could be more!
