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

[Dark_Star]

I've been taking a 3 hour nap every day and still sleeping 10 hours a night... it's ridiculous.

 

[Dark_Star]

Also I'm 8 weeks today and despite over 2 weeks of spotting, the babies are still in there. I am getting more optimistic.

I get up at 5.30am to get us dressed and out the door for 7 to take X to nursery and get to work and I get home around 6pm. I'm really struggling atm and yesterday I felt so sick all day any was falling asleep at my desk. My boss told me to go home at 2pm but I didn't want to leave early. There's no way to know how shit I'll be feeling next week so I don't want to take the mick.

I don't remember ever being this tired before

Hi ladies!

I am currently 9 weeks pregnant with naturally conceived twins! My due date is October 1st, although I doubt I will make it that far especially since my first born came 2 weeks early. Now with twins I will happy to make it to September!

A little about me....my son is 19 months old and I have been married to my lovely husband for almost 5 years. I had an early miscarriage last October at 6w5d and it was absolutely devastating. Since the miscarriage we were trying to get pregnant again and never in our wildest dreams imagined we would get twins!

I followed Baby and Bump my whole first pregnancy and it was so nice! So happy for everyone on here!

[Dark_Star]

I am also expecting natural twins.

Welcome Michelle! Congrats hun. Xx

Lil pixie sorry you've so knackered. Sounds exhausting xx

Got lots of stretching sensations in my uterus atm. xx

 

[cdelmar]

Welcome Michelle!

 

[3boys]

Welcome Michele. Am I right in thinking that's 3 sets of twins now?

Ginger can you update on the original post who's having twins? There's so many babies it's hard to remember!

I got my first prenatal appointment rescheduled for Tuesday. I will be 9+5. My DH will be there, so it'll be really exciting. I had to call a nurse about some spotting and was ordered not to have anymore sex until after my appointment. Poor DH (and me). It's hard!

Just checking in on you guys, I hope all the sickness is starting to pass, the spotting is letting up, the fatigue goes away, and all the beans are super sticky.

Hi girls.. some of you sound so busy its no wonder you are so tired!! Welcome newbies and another set of twins? exciting!!! There maybe more when some of you girls get a scan

AFM I went to see my consultant today.. the Hematologist consultant said I HAD to take aspirin daily for this pregnancy to last..(when my consultant asked him to go over my bloods last year) but the letter I had was advised..so I wasn't worrying so much that I needed it to be 100% 24 hours whilst I was so sick but obviously I knew I needed it. but I mentioned the HG and that there was 2 days I was unable to take aspirin and she frowned.. I said could that be a problem? yes she replied.. after 12 weeks we don't think it would be as worrying.. so now I have to have another scan Tuesday 11.15am. They won't scan within 7 days of a scan and the earliest was Tuesday.. so now im so worried

I am still really sick with this HG but managing water and small nibbles...I just made homemade carrot soup.. that will see me through a couple of days and will freeze some. xx

So jealous of that amount of sleep.

All good at the OB, got another disc of pictures and HB was 173. Having the Harmony test done on the 16th (not doing the NT), keeping gender a surprise. I don't even have a gut feeling yet, still getting my head around it a bit I think.

Oh sounds great! Can't wait to hopefully see my little one...

Just curios but what's a harmony test?

Evening ladies, hello and welcome to the newbies joining :wave:

Just quickly browsed past the last few pages

I feel HUGE not sure if it's because it's my 4th baby or my stomach muscles are none existent, but I have quite a good bump going on... There's only me, my other half, my mum and you lovely lot who knows that I'm pregnant... I don't want to share with anyone else until we have that scan and everything is ok... It was devastating the aftermath of having a MC, people didn't know what to say, so they just avoided me ... Urghhh.... So anyways it's getting hard to keep this under wraps haha, and now is the time where I need to get some maternity jeans!!! I'm usually a UK size 8-10 but these jeans are killing me!!! But then some people can tell the difference between normal jeans and pregnancy ones

As for sleep, what's that??? I'm absolutely knackered and before I fell pregnant I had a cold, which dragged on and on, my legs and arms ached and I could hardly lift my head off the cushion. Anyways I survived that lol, got over it last week... Went to butlins for 5 days, came home and now I'm full of cold again ... I don't manage to get a nap during the day as try to catch up on housework and washing... Then on a night my daughter wakes a couple of times during the night, then we're up at 7am for the school run.. Ah the joys of parenthood lol

Copied straight from their website;

Harmony is more accurate than traditional Down syndrome blood tests and much less likely to give a false-positive result. That means there will be much less chance your doctor would recommend follow-up testing, such as amniocentesis.

Harmony also tests for two other genetic conditions, trisomy 18 (Edward syndrome) and trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome).

In addition, with Harmony you have the option to evaluate X and Y sex chromosomes.

While other commonly used tests for Down syndrome are performed later in pregnancy and require multiple office visits, Harmony delivers clear answers as early as the first trimester with a single blood draw.

A maternal blood sample is taken at week ten of pregnancy, or later.

DNA in the sample is analyzed using proprietary Harmony technology.

Test results are reported to your provider in 7 business days or less.

LOL I am sitting here with my shorts off as they are just SO uncomfy! I am hanging out for it to be public knowledge so I can dress more comfortably in maternity gear. I have been wearing mainly dresses especially of an afternoon as I am very bloated by then.

Awesome news!! Congratulations!!

I need to learn how to multi quote!

Anyway, feeling bloated and yuck already today (it is 9.30am Friday here), wish I could just ease this gross feeling somehow. Anyone got any ideas for bloating?

My husband has been away this week and due home tonight, flies in around 8pm so I am looking forward to a more relaxing weekend and some extra sleep
