Weddingbee boards

Thought it might be nice to have a thread for those of us recently pregnant to keep tabs on each other. I'll start by posting a little about myself- maybe the rest of you can follow?

Hubs and I were recently married July 3rd. We weren't actively trying but we weren't preventing either. I haven't seen a Dr yet but I'm pretty sure my due date should be somewhere around April 23rd. Feeling fine so far but slightly nauseous in the evenings. I'm hoping for a girl and of course hubs is hoping for a boy... Definitely excited either way though.

Can't wait to hear from everyone else!

Thanks Mighty- Still waiting on a official due date but will post as soon as I know more.

Good Evening ladies...

So I officially got ratted out today at work. My plan was to wait a little bit to tell anyone besides immediate family but my supervisor outright asked me and I couldn't exactly lie about it... Oh well I guess its easier this way so I don't have to bring it up but it's still weird that other people know already.

I went today and had my pregnancy confirmed at a local health clinic and I'll call in the morning to set up my first official Dr's appointment. I've been trying to ask around and get suggestions from friends about doctors they used just incase I don't mesh with this particular doctor. Anyone have any good tips on how you selected your doctor?

Hiya - I'm just about to come into my 3rd month of pregnancy - and as much as I'm loving the idea of starting out little family (we are getting married September the 9th) I am hating my pregnancy, I have been having violent morning (and the rest of the day) sickness - I've lost 3lb because I just can't keep my food down - plain pasta, meat and potatoes are OK and banana's are OK ish - my GP has prescribed my some special vitamin pills so that I don't get scurvy or rickets and so the baby doesn't get ill or worse.

but the last few days I have been feeling a little bit better - and I can eat a little more - but still painfully plain food :(

I am very tired but my up coming wedding is keeping me exited! and my FI is being amazing.

sorry for the whinge!!!

@vicarswifeintraining: I'm so sorry you're feeling so yucky. I've been lucky so far but hopefully when it does come it isn't nearly that bad. Have you tried saltines and ginger ale? I've also heard a lot of people swear by fig newtons. Who knows tho... Everyone is different.

@SandDollar: Looks like you're about two days ahead of me.. I'm so excited there's several of us right around the same time. Maybe when weird things start happening to my body I won't feel so abnormal then lol.

@SandDollar: We're pretty set on names actually.. For a boy it'll be Dayman Christopher which is a twist on my maiden name and his first name as the middle name and for a girl it'll be Libby Jane after two of our grandmothers.

@Sulli301: I have a pretty close relationship with my supervisor and its pretty uncommon for me to ask for time off work. So yesterday before my appointment she was like so where are you going anyways and I told her I had an appointment, she asked what kind and I said a doctors appointment. She point blank looked at me and asked if I was going to pee in a cup... It was more of a friendly discussion than a employee/supervisor discussion but I still didn't feel right about lying so I told her the truth. Guess it'll be easier in the long run that they know now.

@SandDollar: well I didn't actually find out until I was pregnant until I was a month gone - and I didn't feel fantastic for the first month but not really awful just a bit under the weather.

then once I found out the nausea just got worse and worse - It's stopping somewhat now thank god!

I called the OBGYN today and my first appointment will be next Tuesday the 31st. I'm so glad I don't have to wait a whole nother month. I'll definitely keep you guys posted on how it goes.

@SandDollar: I love your girly name. Very cute! I'm not sure about Lodan either but that's just a personal preference.

Anyone else wanna share their name picks or have you decided to keep them secret for a while?

@mrstilly: Congrats! You're brave to want to be traveling with a 5 week old but I'm sure everything will work out just fine. Looks like your Dr's appointment is the day before mine... I feel like its gonna make the week go by so slow, its just so exciting!

@mrstilly: Its a good think your almost at your 10 week mark! I'm one of the lucky ones that's gonna be seen at 7 weeks, thankfully! I don't have much patience either.

How is everyone feeling? Any morning sickness set in yet?

@summerhill: Congrats! So glad you made it thru the wedding okay.. My nausea is coming and going but I've been lucky so far and haven't been sick.. Biggest problem is that nothing sounds or tastes good so I end up hungry and nauseous...

Due April 17th and thrilled beyond words!!

My goodness lots of April babies for the hive!

@Sulli301: I know that feeling all too well. We've had lots of almost slipups in the past week or so. The biggest was at work where my supervisor was on the phone with the company owner trying to rearrange our schedules to accomodate some unexpected issues. With the way she rearranged it there will be an extra set of hands between my class and another class for two hours in the morning. The owner made a comment about how most times that's unnecessary and my boss almost said well she's pregnant and will need the help soon. Luckily she caught herself.. I think I'm gonna have to out our secret after the Dr's appointment this week though or else someone important is going to end up finding out without hearing it from us.

@mrstilly: If you check in would you mind sharing how your appointment went today? Mine is tomorrow- I'm excited but nervous!

@Sulli301: Hubs is coming but thats mainly because we're a one car family and he usually has the car during the day. Since the appointment is midday he'll grab me on my lunch break and we'll go together. I'll post an update tomorrow evening and let you know how things went and if anything exciting happened. Hoping to hear the heartbeat but not positive if that'll happen..

Sorry guys for not posting yesterday. I've been absolutely exhausted and just coming home and crashing.

@Sulli301: My symptoms are exactly like yours. Very tired, feeling like I can get sick but not, and an occassional cramp here or there. Also my back is starting to get sore already.

The appointment went well. It was my first time seeing this Dr as I didn't previously have a ObGyn. He was recommended to me by a co-worker and I'm pretty impressed with him. The appointment was a lot of do's and don'ts and the way their practice operates. I was glad to find out they don't induce unless completely medically necessary, they don't push epiderals unless you ask for one, they don't share oncall time with anyone outside of their practice, and a few other good things. They gave me some sample prenatals and told me to call them in a few days and let me know how they are before they write me a script for them. One thing that was very interesting to me was that he told me not to eat a lot of icecream. Apparently it contains a lot of sodium which is something I hadn't thought about. Any other specific questions you ladies might have that I'm forgetting to address? Pregnancy brain has started to kick in for me already.
