August Beach Bumps - 24 Girls, 27 boys, & 2 team yellow! 39 babies born!!

[JenzyKY]

Borr. I had cramps last night too. I think its a mix of gas pains and my uterus growing. Our Beans are growing! It is still scary no matter what! I have a bloat bump too. Hope no one notices at a wedding I'm going to this weekend! I'm not ready for his family to know as they will tell EVERYONE.

I think I am done testing. My FRER today was way darker then the control. It can't get much darker! My wondfo was as dark as the control. No more POAS for me until my appointment!

How many weeks are you hun?

 

[JenzyKY]

4 weeks 3 days. My appointment is at 5 weeks but they didn't ask how far along I was when I called.

Not bad to match the control line. I'm doing another FRER on Saturday

Evening ladies!! There is so much to catch up on I dont think I can Barhanita your symptoms really do sound the same as mine!! I'm hardly sleeping, not really eating and have lost 4lb since the weekend!! I do keep worrying thats its not good for growing little one, but then have to remind myself that there are women out there who put their bodies through a lot worse and babies are still fine
I'm quite envious of you all as it appears none of you have told people?? I had to tell my work as I do quite a physical job and there are parts of it I cant now do, there would be no way I could keep it a secret, plus around mid morning/lunch time I feel so so poorly I cant hide it at all!!
I really cant wait to see my midwife but thats not for ages yet, just have to hope we can hang on

Thanks Charlie, I had seen that before. I fall in the normal range which makes me feel better. I would like to see levels for molar pregnancies to put my mind at ease but I don't think that's going to happen.

We are so bad at keeping secrets that all our close family and friends already know!!!

I have my first appointment next friday, cant wait.

Setarei I really think you are carrying twins!!! I can't wait for you to know!

 

[Barhanita]

Barhanita your symptoms really do sound the same as mine!!

I am happy we have the same symptoms! Somehow it reassures me. I don't want to tell anyone, because I am afraid to lose it. But if you have to tell your boss - you have to. It's like telling your doctor.

So far my manager knows, one person at work knows, and our 2 best friends know. We're telling our closest family at Christmas hopefully with a scan photo too, then starting to tell others from 12 weeks with a full announcement at 16 weeks. Or that's the plan at lease

I haven't really "had" to tell anyone... we just told them by choice, we are just so exited... I really hope I don't regret it if something happens... trying to keep positive every day!

 

[JenzyKY]

I'm way too scared to tell people now. I'm planning cute ways to tell them with scan pictures.

borrdgbaby, all our family know too we decided we would end up blurting it out so would be more fair to do it planned, plus figured it wasnt fair if all my work knew and they didnt!! My husband felt it better to tell people incase something did happen, he said it would be easier for us and them in the long run...how he explained it made sense at the time but I have forgotten it all now
A few close friends know also but I think we'll try and keep quiet now!!

I know barhanita, it makes me feel a lot more normal! I have moments of panic that because we have told people then the worst will happen, which is ridiculous i know, but it does worry me, hopefully we'll get through it though

I'm trying to come up with a cute Christmas rhyme

 

[setarei]

I couldn't hold it in at all, we told parents/siblings the day we found out (Monday) and plan on telling the rest of the family at 8 weeks (right before christmas for a nice boost) if things look good or wait until 12 weeks if there are complications.

 

[charlie00134]

I told my best friend the same day

 

[setarei]

Charlie, a christmas rhyme is a really cute idea. This poem: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090708160204AAD8eFV isn't a christmas one but maybe you could tweak it?

 

[Barhanita]

I didn't want to tell anyone, but my friend saw me writing here...

A confession: I haven't told OH yet.. Both times when we lost babies before he was heartbroken. And he is stressed about his work right now anyway. But I will tell him tomorrow if my betas are good. I know it's horrible and it's killing me... But I figured out that if it's another very early miscarriage/chemical it would be easier to deal with it on my own and not upset him. Every second of not telling him is killing me though.. I've never kept a secret from him ever in my life.

 

[charlie00134]

Hope your Betas are good so you feel comfortable telling hubs

 

[charlie00134]

I'm thinking something like.
"Jingle bells, jingles bells, jingle all the way
This time next years they'll be an extra mouth Christmas day"

Or something with santa
