Looking for buddies due on or around October 7, 2013!

Do you find it hard or are you used to it? My OH is a chef and works stupid hours, so although he is here we don't see a lot of him!

Wow how strange, I hadn't even noticed my stretchmarks had disappeared until you said, crazy! Lol I wouldn't say toned, my bloat is finally going down, I'm surprised I haven't already been asked if I'm pregnant, it's been awful!

How's everyone been feeling?
Anyone had anymore appointments yet?
KalonKiki that must be disappointing for you, not long now though

Evening Honey,
I'm used to it but have to say now Jellybean is growing up I find it harder as she is aware Daddy is away and misses him which then makes me miss him more!
I know it's weird about the stretchmarks, dread to think what I'll look like in October!
Would you like to be bump buddies?

I had my Drs appointment and she was lovely and have moved my midwife booking in appointment forward to 28th Feb!!!
Feeling really tired today and have had awful cramps.
How's everyone else?

Hi hun, hope the cramping has died down, I had it awful last week, it was a bit worrying as I didn't remember having any with #1!

Would love to be bump buddies

Aww it's hard when they realise people are leaving/missing isn't it Do you work or stay at home with her?

Ohh exciting you're all booked in Did the doctor do much? Does that mean that hubby can make it?

I still can't believe the stretchmarks have gone haha, do you think they will come back double the size? I've never heard of them disapppearing due to early pregnancy!

How's everyone feeling? I'm still feeling pretty symptomless bar the odd bit of nausea and tiredness, though not sure if thats pregnancy or a teething little lady keeping me up!

Welcome and congratulations! Exciting times ahead

 

[ttcfirstb]

Thanks ladies! This is our first so it is for sure very exciting and anxiety provoking So far the main symptoms I have had are: sore BBs, cramping, and having to use the bathroom frequently. I just called and scheduled my first appointment with the midwife for March 19th which will be just after 9 weeks - seems a little bit late, but I guess they typically don't see you until at least 8 weeks at the practice I am going to. When are your first appointments?

This is our first too, so far we have been really excited and really nervous. My first appointment is Feb 20th, just 9 more days! I think I will be around 7 weeks then, but its just with my family doctor... not sure how it works or when I switch over to my OB or what my options are with regards to OB/Midwife.... so many questions lol hopefully my appointment will be helpful!

 

[KalonKiki]

Congrats on the new and welcome! :wave:
This is also our first, and I'm 6 weeks today, due October 7th. My first OB appointment is February 25th at 10:30 am. I'll be exactly 8 weeks, so exactly 2 weeks from today.

Thanks honey, still some cramping but think it maybe due to trapped wind, will see how this week goes if it gets worse I'll take myself to the Drs.
Bumpbuddies, will add you to my siggy I'm a SAHM, how about you? It's lovely seeing her greet Daddy when he comes home though!
Doctor basically said it's a pain for us and a pain for you but yes asap after getting a you should book a doctors appointment so they can advice on foods to avoid and folic acid. I said that I just couln't remember what happened and that I knew I had a booking appointment at 8+ weeks with a midwife but had forgotten everything. The doctor was lovely and gave me an Emma's Diary so I had the updated foods to avoid list ( you can now eat some of the cheeses you couldn't 2 years ago)!!! She was also really nice about my Jeallybean and said what a good job I was doing. Very surprising as generally dislike my Drs and think they are awful but this lady is new/a locum so will try and see her as my main Dr now.
Hubby will be at home with Jellybean as booking appointment with the midwife is an hour and when I was pregnant last time it ended up taking almost 3 hours as they were running late!

Don't mention the stretchmarks lol, mine where all over my bump overnight at about 34 weeks last time, I loved like raspberry ripple icecream

The tiredness is killing me, even Jellybean told me to lie down today!!!

How are you, sending lie in toddler vibes x

Mine is 28th Feb, I'll be 8 weeks that day but with my 1st I was 9 weeks and something, just means you'll have a shorter wait till your scan

Congrats on the new and welcome! :wave:
This is also our first, and I'm 6 weeks today, due October 7th. My first OB appointment is February 25th at 10:30 am. I'll be exactly 8 weeks, so exactly 2 weeks from today.

Happy 6 weeks

 

[hollie87]

I've just rang up and booked the docs now you've said that, made sure it's a different one to last pregnancy so hopefully may be a little more useful! Mmm cheese lol, its hard to believe the guidelines have changed in only 2 years, please say we can eat Brie, it's all I wanted last time hehe.

I'm a SAHM too, best job in the world Feel so lucky to be able to do it! The plan is to stay at home until both children are in school and then probably return to work as at the minute we're only wanting 2 kids but that may all change once #2 starts growing up ;-)
Are you wanting anymore after number 2?

How are you feeling today? So cute you being told to lie down haha, you must have looked rough

I'm feeling good today, we all had a good nights sleep - your lie in vibes must have worked, we will have more of them sent our way please!

DF and I aren't entirely sure how many children we want. We're only on number one now, so we have plenty of time to decide. We're thinking anywhere between 2 and 4 children though. We don't want an only child because we feel that it's important for a child to grow up with at least one sibling, but we don't want to have more than four because any more than that is a lot to handle and it can be hard to give your undivided attention to all of your children when you have more than that. I grew up in a huge family, so I didn't want to have too many children, but at the same time I don't know what I would have done or the person I'd be today if I didn't have any of my siblings. As a mid-ground, DF and I will probably end up having 3 children (he'll probably end up only wanting 2, and I'll probably want 4, so to compromise we'll probably have 3).

That sounds like a good compromise My oh originally only wanted the one but he soon changed his mind when we became parents. I was 1 of 4 and my mum always told me to only have as many children as you have hands, it gets hard after that lol!

 

[KalonKiki]

Hehe, I'm not sure when or if DF will ever change his plans, but so far I think he's pretty stuck on the idea of having only 2 (though he says that he's undecided and wants to see how having baby #1 goes before we decide on how many we want). I think I can convince at least 3 babies out of him though.

Haha let's be honest, they don't have much choice do they Not if they want a peaceful life anyway

 

[KalonKiki]

Hehe, of course they don't! Besides, if we managed to get pregnant with this one when we only DTD about 4 or 5 times total last month (and we pulled out for the majority of those times) I'm sure that it wouldn't be too hard for us to have at least one more surprise baby. XD

 

[hollie87]

Hi ladies, how's every doing? Had my docs appointment today and he's booked me in for the midwife tomorrow as well as my scheduled one in the 1st, I know it will just be talking but so excited

 

[KalonKiki]

Exciting! Good luck with your appointment! My first OB appointment is still 11 days away. It's taking forever to get here, haha.

Evening Ladies,
Sorry for not being around but I ended up in the epu on Valentine's day with an expected ectopic. After two ultrasounds (external and internal) they have ruled out ectopic but could only see a yok sac, no heartbeat and baby is measuring a week behind so have another scan on 25th Feb. Needless to say I was a nervous wreak especially as I had to be alone due to DH having to look after my daughter, I'm praying that all is well as have developed horrid nausea and a craving for milkshakes!!! Just can't quite stop myself worrying even though the cramping is better and I've developed nausea.

Hope you are all ok and sending massive hugs and to all xxx
