A place to chat randomly!

Anything interesting to share?
Symptoms you want to discuss?
How are you adjusting to being pregnant?

(Please don’t ask for medical advice - refer to your physician for serious concerns to be safe!)

How is everyone doing? We’re all very early, but interested in getting the board going/organized if we can!

I know usually we just copy/paste the weekly post schedule from previous BMBs, but not sure if anyone wants to talk about what threads we do/don’t want to use here? My previous BMB used them all I believe, but it’s been a long time!

Has anyone had ultrasounds yet / have one scheduled? I want to make sure we have the ultrasound thread started and stickies for the first pictures of LOs!

AmMcc12 · February 2023

Oh shoot @izza2! I started posting some from the other BMBs. I’ll hold off for now.

izza2 · February 2023

Totally fine @AmMcc12!! It works!

AmMcc12 · February 2023

We have brunch at my in laws every Sunday. It’s going to be so fun hiding the nausea until we are ready to share

mimser · February 2023

I'm for all the threads! My only suggestion is maybe we hold off on splitting the weekly check ins until we get a bit more people? We could start by posting a check in for the entire group if that makes sense.

izza2 · February 2023

@AmMcc12 How did your brunch go?

@mimser That makes the most sense!

AmMcc12 · February 2023

@izza2 oh it went great other than needing to sneak away to the bathroom a few times. 😂

AmMcc12 · February 2023

The bloat is real and I’m looking at buying some stretchy pants already

charmedlifex3 · February 2023

@AmMcc12 I never went back to hard pants. I don’t need that kind of pain in my life. Soft pants for liiiife.

AmMcc12 · February 2023

@charmedlifex3 I’ve been wearing jeans and currently they are my worst enemy!! Def need to get soft pants asap

sawasap · February 2023

@AmMcc12 I've been wearing maternity leggings since May 2021. Best clothing purchase I ever made.

izza2 · February 2023

I’m living in my leggings. At some point I’ll have to go shopping for scrubs and I’m not looking forward to that!

AmMcc12 · February 2023

I never wear leggings at work. I fear that if/when I start, it will be a dead giveaway.

charmedlifex3 · February 2023

Speaking of maternity leggings- if you live near an Aldi when they do the maternity leggings - stock up! Thick, comfy, durable and $10 for 2 pairs. They only offer them sporadically sadly!

izza2 · February 2023

What are you guys craving so far?

My cravings for Burger King lettuce and tomato (not even a specific sandwich, just the lettuce and tomato!) is weird but has been constant the past few days!

AmMcc12 · February 2023

@izza2 that is an interesting craving! Is there something that makes the Burger King ones special?

I’ve been craving gravy and street tacos.

izza2 · February 2023

@izza2 Not a thing, lol. Just the same as store-bought fresh produce!

charmedlifex3 · February 2023

@izza2 beef. 🤷‍♀️ I usually hate meat. My daughter has a rare disease and beef is her only protein she can eat, so it works out. Oh and cake.

clairep123 · February 2023

I have been eating sour patch kids every day 😂 it just hits the spot!!!! anyone else craving sour candy?

mimser · February 2023

@clairep123 sounds delicious

alpacamama2 · February 2023

@clairep123 I ate a lot of sour patch kids in my first pregnancy! It seemed to help with the nausea

AmMcc12 · February 2023

My uncle just invited me to a college football game 9/16 exactly a month before my due date. Normally I’d be jumping to go but thinking it will be a no go this time.

sawasap · February 2023

@AmMcc12 When I was pregnant with my first, I was offered a ticket to a football game 10 days before my due date. There was no way I was sitting in a plastic chair and waiting in line for a washroom when I could watch from my couch at home!

AmMcc12 · February 2023

@sawasap definitely not something I want to do at 8 months pregnant!

AmMcc12 · February 2023

Also, we had a cruise scheduled for Jan 2024. Babe won’t be old enough to go so we are needing to reschedule. Right now trying to debate on if we should just go ahead and do it now or wait until I’m are further along and we know pregnancy if viable.

charmedlifex3 · February 2023

@AmMcc12 if it’s not different to cancel it after your first ultrasound I would do it then!

mizzoumomma11 · February 2023

@clairep123 I’m craving the opposite, lol! Everything spicy! Spicy Popeye’s chicken sandwich, spicy grilled chicken from Chick-fil-a, and I ate some Panang curry for four meals this week. And I would love love love some green chile turkey stuffed sopapillas right now!🤣

izza2 · February 2023

So far this pregnancy I haven’t been into anything sweet at all! With my first I wanted ALL the sweet things - especially peanut m&ms. This time around just the thought of something sweet makes me more nauseous 🤢

sawasap · February 2023

@izza2 That was me for my first pregnancy! I couldn't eat anything sweeter than fresh fruit until well into my second trimester and then got diagnosed with GD. So I got like a month of sweets 🙃

hc_2023 · February 2023

Hello everyone! I'm looking for some creative advice! I have my first appointment coming up and at that time I will be 8 weeks, 2 days. I really would like my husband to go, but the tricky part is we both work for his father and we have chosen to not tell anyone until close to 12 weeks. Anybody have any creative cover ups or excuses to use to ask for an afternoon off without causing any red flags?! I'm at a loss!! Help!!

AmMcc12 · February 2023

@hc_2023 a day date? Tickets to something?

hc_2023 · February 2023

@AmMcc I had thought of that! I have mentioned previously that we are wanting to go on a big grocery shopping trip. But I'm thinking if I tell him (Father-in-law) we are taking off at 12 on a Friday to do it, he might wonder why or try to make us wait until Saturday.

charmedlifex3 · February 2023

@hc_2023 just get sick at 1130. Migraine. He needs to drive me home. He’ll be back after taking me to the walk-in.

mizzoumomma11 · February 2023

I second the day date idea! It’s the truth, and you could grab lunch while you’re out.

clairep123 · February 2023

Same!! Wanting all the sour or savory
