*** NOVEMBER 2011 BABIES ! *** Chrysanthe-Mums - 39 babies here already!!!

[DLA]

Hi, I am 28 and pregnant with my first baby I'm due 11-8-11. I'm very happy and very nervous!

 

[qwk]

soooo today has been an interesting day for us - i woke up and when i wiped after using the bathroom, there was a little pink there just a little, and it was after a BM (sorry, tmi!), sooo.. well. it had also happened, exactly like that, on tueday. i was able to let it go one time, but not twice! so i called the midwife, the nurse was very nice, and she called my midwife to see what she wanted to do. meanwhile, i'm searching the internet like gangbusters, and was happy to see that this was fairly common - just a tiny bit of pink spotting after a BM, with no other spotting following it - but i was still worried.

so my midwife got me in for an ultrasound this morning - should be at 5 weeks today i think - and we saw the gestational sac and the yolk sac, and MAYBE (though prob not) the little guy! was a huge relief they said everything looked just like it should, so makes me feel much better. and no more spotting.

attached is the only pic i got - and it's a photo of the pic i just took with my digital camera. they were kind of like, um, you realize that is not your baby right, it's the yolk sac? and i'm like oh yes, i don't care! so unfortunately this is not the best pic, but oh well, it's a pic! the little shadowy part behind the bigger oval was the "possible" baby, but it was really hard to tell. not surprising since he would be super tiny!

FX for no more spotting.. hang on in there little guy...!

we're going home tomorrow for my birthday, so we're telling our familes this weekend, should be exciting!

ALSO -

congrats to mommytobe, vanessa, jjandbellamum, mrs. aj, and anyone else i may have missed!

mummy cat and k8y - my husband works in IT also weird!

and poor lottie!! i hope the steroids help..

titi - congrats! lovely that you got to have the early US

oh and thanks fides! the number jump was a bit of a shock, but i figure it means the little guy is getting what he needs!

Nice yoke sack and uterus qwk I get my dating scan on the 24th too!

Welcome to the new ladies!

 

[DrGomps]

Mummy, so sorry Lottie's sick - hope she mends soon.

qwk, HUGE congrats on the #s doubling ever 37 hours - that is fantastic, and your numbers are really up there!!

k8y, i can't imagine having to deal with a little one and morning sickness - hope you feel better today

poppy, so sorry for your loss in December; congratulations, and welcome! i didn't have any symptoms until after i'd missed AF.


as for me, morning sickness has kicked in - started 3 days earlier than last pregnancy, so i'm hoping that's a good sign. i'm trying b6, but it's not the wonder drug i was hoping it would be, lol.

On another note, I am curious about something - yesterday was one of our two fasting days for the year in my religion, but pregnant women are exempt from fasting days and days of abstinence. Personally, it felt really weird not to join in the fasting yesterday while the rest of the community was fasting. It made me curious - do pregnant Muslimahs still fast during Ramadan? Do pregnant Jewish women fast during the Fast of Ester, Yom Kippur, etc? I'm curious now.

Being one of the only Jews on here (I think) thought I should answer.
Its actually required during Yom Kippur that all Jews fast, including pregnant women.

Hello,

Wanted to officially exit this thread and say goodbye as I am not carrying a viable pregnancy.

This has been the most awful experience I could ever have for my very first pregnancy, and I'm left feeling like such a failure and I'm really not sure if I want to try again. It's the worst feeling in the world.

I truly hope all of you have a wonderful pregnancy and have beautiful healthy babies come November.

Heather

 

[MummyCat]

OH NO Heather You poor thing!! I'm so sorry for your loss my dear!!

I know this might not be much consolation right now... but you did nothing wrong!! I had a miscarriage as my first pregnancy... 2 months later I was pregnant with my Lottie! She is my everything and I couldn't imagine life without her!! So don't give up just yet my dear... because your beautiful baby will be in your arms soon!!

I hope to see you back in 1st Tri very soon hun!!

 

[MummyCat]

Welcome to all the new ladies!!! Huge congrats on your BFP's!!! Here's hoping they're sticky little beans!!

[MummyCat]

Hopefully it'll sink in for you in the next few weeks! It didn't feel real for me with my daughter until we had the 12 week scan! x

[MummyCat]

[repogirl813]

MRS i am sooo very sorry you have to go through this, just remember it is nothing you did and is very common!! I know thats of no help cause it was no help when i went through mine but please try to not let it stop you from trying again.

 

[DrGomps]

Heather, so sorry for your loss. Don't give up, you didn't do anything wrong...like the ladies said, its super common. Hope you come back to the 1st trimester section soon.

 

[MummyCat]

Heather hun... I've seen your other thread... from what I've read.. I don't think you're out yet hun... there is a very real chance that you still have a baby growing in there as your numbers are still going up every 48-72 hours!!

Be strong love... lets hope you get some super good news at your scan!!

 

[fides]
