Hellobee Boards

So happy to be here!

Location: Northern CA

EDD: Sept. 13

First child? Second

Any symptoms? Some nausea, and cramps. Nothing too crazy, but the nausea is definitely earlier this time than my last pregnancy, which makes me nervous!

Who have you told? My husband, of course, and a couple close friends.

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? Just general nervousness that this little one sticks around!! And also nervous about adding a second kiddo.

@theotherstark: congrats to you too! Stark as in got?

She's 3 (born August 2013). She told the teachers at daycare today that I went to work without underwear on (untrue) How old is yours?

If I could I'd be tested every day, just for the peace of mind! I had to wait until the nt scan last time, which was just endless. Do you plan to find out gender?

@avivoca: thanks! I know, doesn't it seem like time moves so quickly?

Location: New Zealand

EDD: mid September but I'm waiting on an appointment for a dating scan in early Feb.

First child? #3!

Any symptoms? So.very.tired and I feel pretty average in the mornings.

Who have you told? Just DH but my wine-loving in laws are arriving to stay with us at the end of this week...

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? I feel more nervous about this one than I did with the first two and I'm still feeling slightly freaked out at the logistics of having a third!

@Banana330: congrats!! Exciting your first u/s is next week already!!

@Banana330: welcome! Nice that next week you'll be getting an ultrasound and some confirmation.

@Kemma: welcome and congrats! I can't speak to three, but I know things will work out . Thank goodness we get 8 months to process and prepare.

@theotherstark: I read a couple of the books many, many years ago, and now I just don't have time to read, so I watch the show. I watched the red wedding while pregnant with my first .

We will definitely be finding out gender! I'm feeling girl again. If all goes as planned, E will be 4 when we have this baby. Only one year of double daycare before she goes into kindergarten. Maybe by then the school districts here will switch to all day (I can dream).

@Banana330: thanks for putting that together!

@StrawberryBee: yikes! haha. Yes, not a great show to watch while pregnant

I did my last weeks estimator today and thankfully got 3+. I got 2-3 weeks last week when I tested, so I feel a bit better that things are progressing. I'm seeing my family doc today as a pregnancy visit. I had just started the testing process with a fertility clinic so they are following me until 12 weeks but my family doc needs to refer me to an OB or midwife.

@StrawberryBee: They did two betas at the beginning (doubling every 24 hrs!) but not since them. They are doing the ultrasound next week. I can't believe we got knocked up on the testing cycle. We had no issues getting pregnant with DD (some issues staying pregnant), so ttc #2 was a bit frustrating. I feel you on no symptoms, i'm a little more tired occasionally nauseous but really feel ok, i'm 6 weeks tomorrow so we'll see...

@periwinklebee: Yay! for the doubling! You should see a heartbeat (maybe not hear it) i'll only be 6w6d at my first ultrasound...

@Banana330: Yay for 3+!!! Can't wait for your scan next week.

I had my first pregnant lady moment last night - was in an uber and the car wreaked of pot. My DH was there and didn't smell anything Lol, the things I don't want to know - my sense of smell has been insane.

I woke up this morning feeling nauseated, eating makes it much better but seems to come back when I'm hungry. And my hcg is only 217. I would be worried that the nausea is going to get really bad, but at this point all my worrying bandwidth has been taken up by worrying about viability.

@Banana330: Hah, you inspired me to call back and take the appointment they originally wanted me to take on Jan 27th, since that's about what I'll be then. Plus, the Jan appt was early in the morning - rather than the middle of day - so I won't have to take off work and hopefully my husband can come. If they don't see a heartbeat, at least I'll know that it could be b/c I o'd late. The 27th is going to be a big day for this board!

I need to find some good snacks, I'm not usually a grazer but I think it will definitely be necessary.

@Banana330: I think it's really neat that you got on the testing cycle. As if your body was like, oh, did you really mean business? Well, ok then...

@periwinklebee: welcome, and glad to have you join us on Jan 27th! I had super human smell with my last pregnancy. We had just hired a new guy who wore cologne, and he nearly killed me when he walked by with the stench.

I just keep on envisioning my daughter playing with her little sister. But honestly, body, just get me to September safely and I'll take what you give me, and happily!

@periwinklebee: glad to see you here! so fun that so many of us have appts on the same day!

Location: Texas

EDD: According to LMP, 9/24

First child? 2nd

Any symptoms? A ton! By 10 DPO I had convinced and unconvinced myself a million times that I was pregnant. I just knew I was pregnant this time as opposed to my first where I was clueless!

Who have you told? DH and my best friend

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? So I haven't officially even missed by period, but my tests are progressing. I'm just trying to stay hopeful yet cautious! Also, I teach first grade and I.am.exhausted!!!

@Boopers: hey good to see you here too (from another April 2015 mama)!

@Banana330: Thank you! We are birth month twins twice!!

@periwinklebee: thanks

@annem1990: @Boopers: welcome and congrats!
