My name is Brandy. I am soon to be 36. This will be my 4th child. I have a 14yr old, soon to be 7yr old, and a 7mth old baby. I am very nervous about having 2 under 2! I homeschool the 7yr old and will be the younger two as well. This pregnancy will be considered high risk as I have diabetes and will have a scheduled c-section(4th). I had a mmc at 14wks right before I had my youngest so the anxiety is already there. I am due Sept 24th!

Oh and symptoms! Ugh! Bloated, extreme gas, nausea, moody, tired, headaches! Fun stuff! Lol!

Hi! Did all of your pregnancies feel the same? This is my first and there seems to be so many possible symptoms and it is all v confusing!

Meeeee! This is our second, and we are definitely going to find out if baby is pink or blue flavour. Can't wait!

I can't tell you how happy I am to see this thread develop! September babies unite!

Loukachu: This is my first too! Glad to see another rookie around here. I have also heard lots of weird possible symptoms. I think every woman's body is different and will have different times for everything. I like using Fertility Friend to chart my temps and symptoms, partly because I get to see the list of symptoms that are typical. I was really relived to see "cramps" listed as a normal preg sign. Have you felt any different yet?

Bagpuss25: Welcome!

Maybebaby3: We really want to stay Team Yellow and be surprised like the olden' times before ultrasound!

Maybebaby3 and Adopim: Congratulations on your families! I know it might be weird for me to say that, but from where I'm sitting right now, having multiple healthy happy kids seems like such an accomplishment. I hope to get there one day. And I love that your kids want another little one. Have you told them yet or will you wait to see how everything goes?

I would consider joining a FB group.

to all the ladies here!

jojo_b: Welcome and congratulations!

BrandysBabies: He sounds like such a thoughtful little guy. Awwww!

CallieBaby: That must have been so hard. I have my Fx'ed for your sticky bean!

It is so hard to go by symptoms. My first two pregnancies were alike symptom wise and pretty straight forward easy. Then I had the mmc. I though everything was normal, same feelings and such as my first two. I even saw the baby on the 8wk scan. Then at 12wk scan the baby was already gone. I had a natural mc at 14wks. I was scared to death to get pregnant after that but knew I wanted more children. Zoey was completely different symptom wise. I had every symptom you could imagine right from the start. I threw up the entire pregnancy and was miserable swearing I would never do it again! Lol! But as you see, here I am!

Anyway, like I said you can't really go by symptom as every pregnancy is different. And there is also nothing you or a DR can do to prevent the bad from happening if it is going to. So the very best thin to do is to relax, eat healthy, and take car of yourself. Which means no stressing!

Sorry for my typos! iPhone. Enough said, lol!

Hi my name is Dana and this is my first pregnancy. I found out yesterday and should be due around 9/28. We are so excited! We just got married in May, but I'm 33 so I was hoping for kids right away. It took us 7 months to get here so we are so happy.

So how weird is it that all I want to do is sit and eat salad all day? Yesterday I spent about $60 just on lettuce an salad toppings!! I have had 4 large salads since last night?!

I am the same way with spinach! I have been drinking a spinach & fruit smoothie in the AM and then craving another one at night! I think our bodies are telling us to get as many vitamins as we can. Leafy greens like spinach and lettuce are loaded with folic acid, which is so important early on.

That's makes sense! In fact when I was standing at all the bags of salad lettuce, I avoided the iceburg and romaine and went straight for the kind with all the leafy greens and roughage. I am also piling on nuts and dried cranberries, carrots, mushrooms, etc. Gosh! I just had one an hr ago and talking about it is making me want another! Lol!
