Anyone else expecting a November sparkler? *Updated with due dates!*

[Gemie]

Shazza, beautiful pic! Ace being put forward a bit too, lol

Gem, I dont think you can do that? Not seen it done before anyway! xx

No I know you can't do it so it always appears that way on fb but I need a list that people can refer back to iykwim lol

I have to check my blood sugar like 7-10 times daily. I do it even more though because I have feelings that are just off. So I probably prick my finger 12-15 times per day. Luckily I do not have any likings to ANYTHING sweet. Before pregnancy I would have a cheat day here and there you have to even my docs said so for the past 20 years. But, the smell of anything sweet makes me nauseous so I am lucky. I have to really follow a stricter diet than before and it is hard most days right now as I am not really hungry and can hardly eat half a meal before I am too full. I love fresh fruits and vegetables so I snack on carrots and celery and apples or pears. I also like meat so I try to make up my own version of the Atkins diet with lots of protein and little carbs.
Are you experiencing any constipation? That will make the numbers go higher too because sugars from food are not absorbed until they reach the intestines so having a full bowel will make the meds not work as well. If you are having the constipation try no sugar added apple juice or a 8 oz. cup of decaf coffee my Docs said that these two will get things going rather quickly and will lower the levels and then you are not putting baby in harms way by taking OTC meds.
Okay, I have to say I am so very happy you came to join us here Ema. I am drawn to commenting on posts that I have read and see you have commented on. I love the name Ema and 8 is my all time favorite and luckiest number. and to top it off we are so close in due dates too. And you are in Australia which I have always wanted to visit. You are def. a keeper in my book!!

As are all of you ladies, sorry I am just really happy today and love everyone I feel like the world has been lifted off my shoulders and I even took the dark blankets off the window in the bedroom as I don't have any complaints nor slightest headache. I am just excited to be a momma in the making and seeing everyone's LO pics this week and for the next few weeks. DH birthday is next Thursday. Just loads of things to look forward to.
And, though I am not a church going type, I am a believer in a higher power I actually sat down earlier and thanked God and my Guardian angels above for allowing me to go through this experience of motherhood. I feel so blessed to be given this chance. I no longer feel inferior as a woman nor do I feel that i am worthless as a wife for I did what doctors have said I couldn't do naturally GET PREGNANT!!!
Here is a picture of my happy self today

aww hey honey sorry for late reply cause today my DH was at home whole day so i went for a beach walk in the day time with him and later on for the dinner now i got time to check in here thats soo sweet u like my name and 8 is actually my birth date so i use it everywhere ha !

no no hun i am not having constipation at all! my sugar level is fine just the insulin prob,u know even i don't feel like having sweets at all i am a chocolate lover but these days i don't look for chocolate anymore i guess i am more craving for carbohydrates that's my issue ,this is the reason my insulin is high but ah i have to stay away!! u r having a good diet i must say!

yay ur DH birthday next week how exciting u will be done with ur US u can deffo make special surprise plan and go for babymoon on his birthday

omg u r so sweet i like u too ,it's so amazing so share everything with u guys i think we all are going through same things so we can understand each other better than people around us! i feel so comfortable with u guys now and excited to proceed with u all together experiencing the most wonderful time of my life! i am in the same boat hun this is my first baby too so i am so over excited about every single thing

you look so cute in the picture i can actually see ur face glowing God bless you

 

[Ema 8]

Had my scan and am SO relieved to say that it all went well measured slightly ahead of my dates at 12w 2d and my due date has been moved to 5th November

Baby was bouncing around all over the place which was lovely to see. Feel so happy that everything was ok.

aww such an adorable pic so glad for u ,i will say girl too!! congrats hun

 

[Ema 8]

So the babys space behind the neck measured abnormal I don't even know what to think. They said that the baby looks perfect otherwise and that none I the other signs that usually go along with that type of thing aren't there so they said that it can still be normal and mean nothing but that at this point it's abnormal. Man..... Idk what to even think. Now I wait 10 days to get the blood work back and that will tell us more.



On a good note- the baby looks like a boy to me! There was something there when she went between the legs but she didn't say much (now I know why) she was keeping quiet about the neck

hey hun don't worry i hope and pray everything turns out to be normal ,i can feel ur pain first tri is so hard to pass on and finally when the day comes we wanna see our babies perfect cause we deserve it than why such things happens i am sure ur blood result will come postive ,i will pray for u def! just stay strong ,ur baby looks perfect to me ,it's such a beautiful pic i hope n hope things will go great with u

 

[Ema 8]

So sorry for being such a Drama Queen earlier! Norman is fine, Aaron came to scan but wouldn't have it he was in the wrong he said he was always coming and that I took it the wrong way and started Squealing Anyway, baby measuring 3 days ahead so 12+5, EDD moved to 1st Nov though Im 100% my origional date of the 4th is right! He's grown he doesnt look like a sheep anymore

thanks GEMIE woow i can see my name i have big smile on my face it's such a proud feeling to be a mommy first time i am so happy!!

 

[teacup22]

Any gender guesses?

 

[LoraLoo]

So glad all ok! Girl! x

 

[Ema 8]

Our babyyyyy!!!
Any gender guesses?

omg teacups ur pic is here already that's so cool aww i will say boy many many congrats yipieeeeeeeeeee now have fun!

 

[lovehearts]

Yay teacup, glad scan was good, I guess girl xx

 

[zowiey]

Wow! Babies, babies everywhere!

Shazza, so glad all went well, & now we're due date buddies

Teacup- lovely pic! I can't guess on gender, as l have no bloody clue! But yay! Baby!

I'm jealous of the fb group I deactivated my account, to many pg ladies whilst I was struggling. I guess I could rejoin again, seeing as I'm now a preggo lady, but tbh I've not missed the drama of it!!

Anyone know what I could use for belly "lube" with the doppler? I forgot to buy some, and have so far used baby oil, far to messy. Conceive plus lube which surprisingly dried out quickly!! I was thinking maybe shampoo? I have ordered some gel, but I'm impatient!

 

[SmileyShazza]

No I know you can't do it so it always appears that way on fb but I need a list that people can refer back to iykwim lol

Gem could you add a note/document to the group where people can leave their real name and their BnB username next to it? Thats what they do on a couple of other groups I'm a member of on FB.

How do I join the FB group? I go on there a lot more than I come on here so would be good to be able to keep up with people more.

Shazza, so glad all went well, & now we're due date buddies

Oooooh yay a due date buddy - was going to ask for a bump buddy

Teapot - lovely scan picture hun. So glad it went well for you

 

[Dazed125]

H m okay this could be tricky as not many people have announced on fb so there is a change others might see the activity.

How about add me as a friend say who you are and ill add you to the group?

KY Jelly Its what they gave me in Boots!

I slept so horrible last night tossed and turned all night) I think the theory of downs isn't even as scary as the thought that because the number was so high that it could be Edwards, turners or a bad heart. I pray that everything goes fine and that the baby lives. My chance is 1:2 for chromosomal defects and only 30% percent chance of being alive and well. Please please just be a baby with neck fat! The skin was 5.7 and that is so very high I almost want another scan to be told more but I know I need to wait on blood work first and then I think we will do the materniT21 test but won't do anymore tests to the baby like amino ect because it's just all so scary!

It's amazing how one moment can so drastically change your life.

Teacupp I think baby looks girl by theorys but my first thought was just boy before I used theory's lol all I know is your nuchal fold looks great!

I hope everyone else is good, KDk what did they say was leading th
To think something was wrong? I'm so so sorry

Peanut! You are the best and sweetest girl ever!! I am so happy you will get to see your lil peanut tomorrow!! It's is really the most amazing
Experience! Hugs!!

 

[Angeltk42]

[Kdk24]

Tower... They honestly won't tell me anything until tomorrow, it pisses me off a bit!!

My EDD is 11/1
Also I added you on FB and my name is Tara Kelley - it said that unless i paid 1.60 i couldn't message you into your inbox. So strange because we weren't friends yet.
