2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

Is anyone else having light cramping? I keep reading that it's normal, but it's still freaking me out.

Yes I have them and had them last time. Everything will be just fine, just means that our little bugs are just getting nice and comfortable.

YES... it wakes me up at night sometimes. At first it freaked me out, but now I'm glad it pops up every once in a while. It lets me know Jellybean is still in there doing stuff. Hahaha. The cramps fade over time.

Seren - I love the way that name looks, but I have no idea how to pronounce it. The problem is that we are American. His family is just from Wales, and I'm black, so my family couldn't pronounce those names if they tried. My OH is concerned with a name sounding "too bland" or "too Caucasian." He wants to make sure the name representative of both sides since Jellybean will be biracial. I, on the other hand, just want my child to have a normal, but not too common, name.

It's cool to see so many Southern ladies on here!! We can lean on each other when we are big and preggo in the middle of the summer.

my goodness you ladies can talk!!!! Pages and pages to catch up on!!! (Prob doesnt help that im on a different time zone so i'm sleeping through most of it ;-) )

 

[tallybee]

Hi ladies! Can I join? I got my BFP on 2/3, had my first doctors appointment today! Due date is October 15th! I am so excited but SO overwhelmed! Looking for some ladies to share this experience with

Allforthegirl I don't think noon is too late for a digital. I took on yesterday afternoon at like 3pm (10dpo) and got a positive. I would just hold your pee for a bit!

I love that you guys are already thinking about names! You are on top of it!

Dandi I know exactly what you mean! Thank GOODNESS someone else feels this way! I am really excited, but I also feel like I don't want to get ahead of myself lol I was planning the gender reveal party before I even got my bfp! haha!

Hi, welcome along!!

As for boy names, we aren't really sure. We are looking for a balance between Welsh names (my husband's heritage) and names that I enjoy. My biggest two concerns are a name that no one can pronounce and names that are too common.

I live in Wales my son is Ieuan but I also loved the name Owain also Dylan

Girls I had an horrific nightmare at 4.15am and was not able to go back to sleep.. I had a dream I was swimming with my daughter and GD in a cave pool when something grabbed by daughter and pulled her under.. she screamed and I could hear it through the bubbles and she grabbed me and pulled both myself and my GD under... I had to make the decision to let her go and save my GD or hold on hoping she would be released and we could all get to the surface.. I woke up crying my eyes out, in such a state I couldn't get back to sleep and its really upset me.. so much so I am dreading going to sleep tonight

I was sick last night and a bit early hours after the nightmare... I have felt so sick all day.. I feel so ill, drained and worn out and my boobs are huge and so painful! I am almost wanting to take something for the pain!!

I am 187lbs and 5ft7 so still overweight and wanted to lose 28lbs but not going to manage that now... well not unless this sickness gets worse.

I need to see my GP because I wont be able to work whilst being nauseated/vomiting.. I am a receptionist so cant leave the desk to be ill. Work will not be happy.

1st scan Monday - Midwife appt Valentines day -

welcome newbies H&H 9 months xx

Ahh that dream sounds horrible I hope you're not so sick you are signed off work!

Welcome I'm also due around oct 15th.

I wouldn't waste a digi in the middle of the day, I'd save it for first morning urine.

So I did one and it came out only 1-2 weeks..... probably because i did it so late?

How much had you had fluids wise hun? Maybe urine was diluted? I did my last one this afternoon which said 3+ but I'd not been drinking loads.

Is anyone else having light cramping? I keep reading that it's normal, but it's still freaking me out.

Yup

Yep. Achy cramps, burn cramps. Occasional sharp pains. I'm running the crampy gauntlet lol

Yup!

I can't say yup enough to the cramping! It's worrying at times but there's no spotting at all and the digital tests are showing up as ahead of my calculated dates so that must be good... I hope. It feels like AF coming sometimes, and I am having that wet feeling down there a lot which turns out to be clear. I relaxed a little bit when I passed the day AF would have been due. But still, the cramps, pressure, pulling and burning is freaky!

ALl this talk of names, lol we haven't even thought about it, will have to discuss at length with OH.

This is how you say Seren(welsh for Star), but not with a digital voice xx

Im off to sleep girls... fell asleep on sofa watching the soaps.. beddy time.. got to be up early for work and been awake since 4.15am with a nightmare

 

[KrazyMomma]

Hi All,

I got my bfp on feb 4th. Waiting for blood test results today.

 

[Natasha2605]

Eurhh two nights out of the last three I've fallen asleep on the couch at around 7.30pm and woken just after 11pm feeling sick. Didn't last night but only cause I i worked till 10pm although was sleeping by 11.30. Has to be pregnancy related. Sick bowl needed soon I think. OH works nights and started at 9pm and I didn't even here him leave etc which is so not like me.

Hope everyone's alright.

 

[Aliop]

The time difference sure does make for heavy reading, I go to bed and five pages appear yet when I'm up everyine seems to be in bed LOL

Trying to remember everything I've caught up on Hello :wave: to all the new ladies!

I don't know what happened but one day it all just 'clicked' and I found a bucket load of determination and steadily lost the weight. I had been trying on and off since my first was born in 2008, losing the same 3-4kg over and over but making no real progress. In my third pregnancy I gained only 4.5kg, my start weight was 95kg though. I have no idea how I'll go this time?? I had started running but I've stopped out of fear for the baby. Still walking on the treadmill or outside most days.

We've talked names already we've had three surprises and we are toying with the idea of finding out this time seeing as it is our last. Haven't bought anything yet but no doubt after I see the heartbeat in a few weeks I'll buy something to celebrate.

Ummm...trying to think lol

Seriously thinking about busting out some maternity shorts which I did buy last week so I guess I did sort of buy something for the baby haha! I get home and take my pants off as they're cutting in due to the bloat factor

 

[KrazyMomma]

Hi ! Even i have cramps and pulling. i thought they may be due to gas, as i am feeling very gassy. the back ache does freak me out.

I've been having cramping too. It's so scary. Yesterday and the day before I was having what felt like ovulation pains - like a sharp poke on my left side that settled after like 5 seconds.

Definitely some bloating, and lots of gas

Hi hun I'm getting super tired in the evenings too. I'm having to make sure I get up and walk about the house just to avoid falling asleep in the evening as it messes up my sleep pattern if I do that! Xx

Ey if we are all getting the cramping it must be normal right?

I'm so bloated I look pregnant already which is impossible lol. Idk where all the gas is coming from

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

I don’t have any cramping.... it is a normal pregnancy symptom though

 

[3boys]

Nervously coming back lol had 2 betas done one at 4+6 and the other at 5+2. First came back at 1809 and the second at 5591 which doctor was chuffed with. Also feeling quite rough so everything is looking good.
