Hellobee Boards

@IRunForFun: thanks for starting this board! And congratulations!

Where are you located?: Northeast USA
• EDD: 9/4/19
• How far along are you?: 4w 1d
• Is this your 1st child?: Third! Son is nearly 5, daughter just turned 3.
• When is your 1st doctor appointment?: Will call next week to schedule. Had 2 betas so far due to a history or recurrent early losses - 13 at 8dpo, 182 at 12dpo with 23 hour doubling time. Third beta scheduled for next week.
• Any symptoms so far?: tender boobs
• Who have you told?: Husband only did far. I'm visiting my mom and siblings this week and think I'll tell them - the losses have me gunshy but I only see them once a year so I figure I should go ahead and tell them. My wondfo today is rocking so I'm feeling pretty good about this little one's chances!

I also haven’t been on here in years.!

• Where are you located?: southwest USA
• EDD: September 4th
• How far along are you?: 4 weeks 5 days
• Is this your 1st child?: nope. Second. Son is 6.
• When is your 1st doctor appointment?:January 14
• Any symptoms so far?: very sore boobs. Extreme exhaustion (though I have a nasty cold too so that may be contributing to it) and some mild nausea
• Who have you told?: DH and a close friend.

@Mrs Hedgehog: hahaha. 2 of my nieces are 1y2 days apart, I guess it sucked early on (sisters stepdaughters) but they love having them close now at 8 & 9

Congratulations and welcome!

• Where are you located?: NY

• Any symptoms so far?: sore boobs in the shower.

@IRunForFun: yes! I’ve loved it forever and just bought it a few months ago.

• New York City
• 9/10/19
• Nope this will be my third (my son will be 4 when this baby comes and my daughter will be 2 1/2)
• still need to call and schedule
• not really any symptoms yet, had rough all-day sickness last two times and then preterm labor with my daughter, so a bit nervous about that though
• besides obviously telling my husband right away, we’ve told our parents and I called my best friend

I actually participated (although admittedly not very actively) on my daughter’s due date board in 2017 and have commented sporadically on a few other things, but could get logged back in so this is a new account.

So very happy to be here (and also a bit in shock at our own craziness in going for three in a NYC apartment) and wishing everyone sticky babies and smooth pregnancies.

My 19 dpo beta was 4290! Viability ultrasound scheduled for the 14th!

@IRunForFun: 7 weeks! They wanted to get me in sooner but it's hard to get time away from work with such short notice. An ultrasound at 7 weeks will show much more than 6 weeks so I'm trying to see that as the bright side. Although I'm struggling with the idea of just canceling my afternoon appointments one day next week and going earlier. Trying to convince myself to be patient. Sorry you've been struck with morning sickness! I hope the meds are helping!

@LAZB: Haha I hope not! We'd figure it out, but we definitely want just one!

@IRunForFun: good! My first appointment is 2/12. We are having a big party next weekend and I drink at social functions.... so I’ll be carrying around a beer all night I guess and dumping it out occasionally. It’s so weird to be in this in between part. DD has been picking up on our conversations and we just went through her baby box from her first year tonight as a family. I think we are going to tell her officially the day after her birthday 3/3. We are having a big party for her on her actual birthday so i don’t want her telling everyone there either. Any ideas on how to tell her? She will be 4.

@youboots: I'm also wondering when/how to tell my 4yo DS. He has been asking for a sister a lot lately, so I'm pretty sure he'll be excited. But he has no chill so everyone will know once he does. Our first appt is at 9 weeks, so we might tell him then if everything looks good.

@DanaH725: I don't have any experience with that level of monitoring either, but I think @IRunForFun's advice is good - the main board will have more answers probably. Hopefully you can get some reassurance.
