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

Shell girl I'm so sorry.
We don't do anything for Valentine's my hubby is not really romantic in that sense but is so thoughtful in other ways. Because of pregnancy he gets up early with our kids gives them breakfast dresses them does the housework then I get up and he goes to work. When he gets home he takes over again. I think I'd rather that right now with morning sickness than all the flowers in the world lol

Love a man like that. Mine works nightshifts but when he's off he helps out loads. So helpful, especially in pregnancy.

Wish I had a man like that!! We went to the shops last and on the way home I was telling dh how shit I feel. Not sick, but just drained and achey and a bit sad. When we got home he reminded me it's still my turn to put Xander to bed

I bought a little orange Skoda Fabia last year and I love it
Plenty of room for two kids. I just need to pass my stupid driving test!! Hhrmph.

Welcome to the new ladies we're a very friendly group - but good luck keeping up lol.

Shellgirl I really hope this still ends well for you keep us updated

6 weeks today, still not sick. I'm still fairly sure I got my bfp very early, I got it at cd27 but my cycles are most often 33 -35 days. I do have a few 28 day cycles so I could be 6 weeks, but I could be more like 5+3 ish if I got my bfp super super early.

I know that was a mad rant but this runs through my head 10 times a day while I try to reel myself in

I think I'm going off sweet things. I like them but they leave a horrid taste in my mouth for hours afterwards. Yuk!!

I just saw we are on the same days !! This is really nice. !!!

That is nice. will be nice having somebody same date to compare with.

Dark star were they naturally conceived? LOL GP I think one is enough...

Oh and I just read that morning sickness so bad like you have had is likely to having a girl and multiple pregnancy ..bring out the pinks and frills

Yes, they were naturally conceived. No history of multiples in the family.

Congratulations. I think I would love twins but I imagine it would be hard work.

I have two girls and had very, very mild nausea off and on with both pregnancies.

Morning all.. 7 weeks today and I see my midwife at 6pm tonight at the birthing centre.. (shocked after 7 back to back losses by 4/5 weeks)

I purchased some sea bands yesterday at the pharmacy and got cyclizine off the Dr's but just sticking to the sea bands first and I woke up feeling 80% normal.. I made some crumpets and some water.. made me feel a bit queasy but nothing like I have been..so much so I now realise how ill I have been feeling.. the bands dont work 100% but anything is better than nothing..maybe worth a try? Shame I cant get anything to help my boobs.. they are so heavy and feel like they are filled with hot cement!

My weekend is being totally lazy.. working fulltime zonks me out (im old) and as I dont have much to do I am going to relax.. OH will pamper me later(he blow dries and straightens my hair better than a salon) and then we will go have our booking in session with the midwife at 6pm then pop out for a take away then cwtch up on sofa with some orange juice and bitter lemon drink.. how romantic is my evening

 

[Lil_Pixie]

That sounds like a perfect evening to me! Wow 7 week, that's like my "proper pregnant" week I don't know why, but once I get to 7w I always feel like I'm really pregnant.

 

[Serenjay]

Pixie I know.. I so know what you mean... 6 weeks I felt was a big milestone...but 7 weeks is like WOAH!! this is Serious!!!

 

[Aliop]

Sounds like a great night serenjay! Enjoy!

I've got this 'omg freaking out' feeling, I'm feeling really panicked about it all all of a sudden and not sure I can handle the delivery -which I know is so far away I should even consider it yet but my youngest was born via EMCS in terrible circumstances and I guess I'm not as over it as I thought it's 11.30pm here and the panic is keeping me awake. Just needed to get it out. Hopefully I'll get myself together!!

 

[Serenjay]

Aliop I am having panic attacks about caring for the baby... what if I am so tired? I keep thinking about how much my life is going to change and my job etc... things that I was ok with before I got pregnant.. I think the hormones make us enlarge the worry and concerns and its that that keeps us awake... try some nice music you enjoy chilling out too.. I tried coldplay last night and I had a beautiful sleep..x

I had brown spotting today. Online is mixed - it could be totally normal or a sign of miscarriage/ectopic. I'm not really having cramping. I don't know where to go or who to call because it's a Saturday.

 

[Serenjay]

In the UK we have EPAU..do you have something like that?

Hopefully it's nothing hun. Brown blood is old blood. In my first pregnancy I bled bright red blood and everything was fine.

Hi all can't get good Internet but just popping by to say congrats to new ladies and hope everyone is ok, we're in Jomtien Beach in Thailand and super jetlagged! Xxxx

 

[GingerPanda]

Apreslaube, my doctor's office has a 24 hour help line where they will page the OB that's on call that night to give you a call. Does your office have anything like that?

Ladies, I am agonizing over this 3rd sac thing, if you don't mind I will repost something I put in a thread on 1st tri for your opinion?:

So I peeked in my file as they handed it to me for the walk from radiology back to the ER.

There were measurements for 3 sacs. So if I understand this correctly there was or is 3 pregnancies?

The two large sacs were 10mm which seems consistent with a size that would contain a beating heart.

The 3rd sac measured 6mm, but the tech didn't say anything about it.

Since these are multiple eggs from one ovary, is it possible that the little sac popped out a few days later and just did not yet have anything visible in it at 5w4d? It seems a 6mm gestational sac might be too tiny to show anything, but still developing.

I have super short 24 day cycles so I O at day 10 or 11, but this guy mighta been late?

NATURAL TRIPLETS????

 

[3boys]

I had 2 sacs before but one was a hematoma.

 

[Dark_Star]

Im sort of guiltily hoping it's not viable or not a sac. Can you imagine 3 carseats?

 

[GingerPanda]

If fraternal twins don't run in your family, it's possible that they could be identical. Identicals don't run in families, they're just random. Other than that, I'm not sure what to tell you. Researchers think as many as 1 in 8 pregnancies start out as twins, but one of them just never develops. Maybe you have something like that with triplets going on?

 

[3boys]

If there are separate sacs they can't be identical. Identical twins/triplets share a sac
