Hellobee Boards

@busylizzy111: interesting that your doc recommended. And you are reminding me that I really need to find a dentist near home. With my first pregnancy I had terrible gum inflammation. My gums would bleed quite a bit. It was bad!! Ever since I got pregnant I have been trying to floss every day in advance of that issue.

@mrscobee: I am curious if my new office offers these tests. I will find out next week. I just turned 35 so I may qualify? I will let you know.

Does anyone feel like they are showing yet? I am 10 weeks today, and sometimes I think my belly has grown since 8 weeks, and sometimes I think not. I definitely feel like I look way bigger at night. But sometimes in the morning I wake up on my back, and my stomach seems pretty flat...

@Somebunny: Nice!! If I were wearing my normal pants, they would DEFINITELY not button (I should try them on just for fun). Luckily I have a few pairs of work pants in two sizes up, and I have been wearing those, which are pretty comfortable. I am finding that my leggings and work out pants are super uncomfortable even if they put the slightest bit of pressure on my abdomen, so I have been wearing hubby's sweats around the house (sexy).

That is absolutely crazy that someone guessed at 10 weeks last time!!! I hope people can't tell with me (especially at work)! I really want to wait until 12 to tell acquaintances!

@busylizzy111: My old OB was big on the dental stuff...said that oral health is extremely important in pregnant women. I remember them saying something about more bacteria forming while you're pregnant and keeping up with your dental hygiene and cleanings was super important.

I had another appointment today which went well. Measuring right on time at 6w, 6d with a heart beat of 141. Risk of miscarriage down to 20%. I still worry a ton about that 20% based on my history, but I do have a good feeling about this pregnancy.

I'm also on the hunt for a new OB. I'm not going back to my former practice because they kept telling me that my miscarriages were just bad luck and wouldn't refer me to a specialist. Even after my 4th, they still doubted that there was anything wrong and I just had a longer stretch of bad luck. Thank goodness I insisted, but it makes me lose all confidence in that practice. Hoping my new OB will give the MaterniT21 test. I will turn 35 in September just before babe is born, so they should!

All right, time to come out of hiding. I've been following the Sept boards for a few weeks, and feel pretty good about joining in now.

Hi, I'm Mrs. Oatmeal, and I'm 8 weeks pregnant with my second, due Sept. 17. My BFP was a big surprise, seeing as it was a long road to conceive baby #1.

So, hi!

Bleeding. Bright red. Headed to ER because of other health issues related to bleeding. Good thoughts appreciated?

@mrscobee: you can put me down at 9/30. My due date may end up being a few days into October, but I'm confident I will deliver before then. Last time around I was a November mama, but my baby was born in October.

September 2015 Mamas!!

@Mrs. Oatmeal: Welcome, and glad to see you here!

@Charm54: I think we should make a Fall Mamas thread! H&H 9 months

@sera_87: Sending lots of prayers your way. Keep us posted.

I am totally starting to pop this week! clothes that I packed for our trip that fit when we left are starting to be tight - DH commented that I'm starting to show while we were getting ready for dinner! Would really like to keep this hidden at work until after my first US, which likely won't happen until the first week in March! Bring on the flowy shirts and leggings

Yep I'm out. Happy & healthy 9 months to all.

@sera_87: sorry to hear that.

so sorry to hear that.

For those with nausea - what are you eating? I need some suggestions.

My nausea got really bad yesterday, I couldn't think of anything to eat other than crackers and chicken noodle soup. Any food I think I want, once I get it, I want to ralph. It's gotten really bad in the last 2 days... and I know I need to eat or it gets worse. Ugh!

I took a Zofran yesterday - anyone else taking? It made me SUPER sleepy all day though, so I don't think that's going to be a good resolution during the week at work since I'm already so tired.

@CarrieLouWho: I have heard anything ginger or lemon is supposed to help! Ginger hard candies help me with motion sickness as do my SeaBands. Pressure point wristbands. Good luck! I hope something helps you!

@CarrieLouWho: applesauce is sometimes the only thing I can get down.

@CarrieLouWho: I'm dealing with it a lot too. Nothing sounds good at all, yet if I don't eat then I feel worse. I eat plain oatmeal, scrambled egg sandwich, bagel with cream cheese, fries (like thick steak fries), grilled cheese and sometimes protein shakes and Greek yogurt. Most fruit and veggies are completely off the table right now. Hope to add those back. I just ordered some sea bands from Amazon and some preggie pop drops and one more nausea thing that I'm forgetting. I did take a zofran the other day too, but that was to get my through a previously scheduled dental cleaning. There's no way I could have made it without it.

@2PeasinaPod: Luckily it was in the afternoon, which is somewhat better than the morning. I also took a zofran (from my last pregnancy) and there's no way I would have made it through otherwise. The hygienist didn't recline the seat the whole way either and I think that helped.

@ehh5000: Nice - we are almost due date twins!! Glad to hear someone else is feeling bigger at night and smaller in the morning. I feel like yesterday and today have been smaller days for me too... But when I voiced that to my husband yesterday, he was like "no, you are looking pretty big" lol! He didn't mean it in a mean way - he was just trying to reassure me that he thought my belly was growing, which he did, but geez haha!! I am tall but thin, and I feel like I am not looking too fit right now either. I think we are all kind of in that awkward stage, and will be for a couple more months of just looking weird, and not really pregnant. It will be nice to have a real, cute looking obvious baby bump!!

@Mrs. Oatmeal: Good luck with the first appointment!!
