November 2013 Babies!

[missjenn]

I am due November 23rd with our first. I have my first appointment on Thursday with the nurse and my first US 4/16. I am super nervous and have been avoiding the pregnancy forums because they scare me. My sister-in-law (10 weeks pregnant) recommend that I join a birth month thread... so here I am!

I am only 5.1 weeks today and have read everywhere that MS is a good sign. I have been just having some waves of nausea, but nothing serious. How soon did you get MS? Should I be worried that I am not sick yet? I hate that I have to wait until 8.2 weeks to get a scan. I guess I will get blood work done on Thursday... hopefully that will put me at ease a little.

My only symptoms so far are quick waves of nausea, some tugging in my abdomen, bloating, and extreme SORE breasts. Should I be feeling more? Thanks in advance for any insight.

I'll be 8 weeks on Wednesday and I have had no MS at all to date! Every now and then I have some breast tenderness but thats it...I dont feel pregnant. I actually wish I had some of your symptoms! Congrats on your pregnancy!

Hi ladies, can I join? I am due November 13 and I'm from the US. I also have a 9 month old baby boy! Can't wait for this adventure again. I desperately missed being pregnant straight away and luckily got pregnant on the first period I had after birth (February 6)! Quite a surprise because we highly doubted it happening as I figured my cycle would be irregular due to breastfeeding.

I didn't read through all the pages. I ope it's ok I join. I loved having pregnancy buddies with my first pregnancy. It's so great to discuss all our symptoms! So far I don't feel pregnant at all. I think because I'm not at all focused on it like I was with my first pregnancy.

I just crave BEEF! How is everyone else feeling?

Welcome and congrats on #2..and so quickly!!! I dont feel pregnant either (8 weeks Wed) but I do crave chips and butter tarts....and ice cream...things I never really ate alot of before. I dont crave any meat what so ever! Hope you continue to feel great!

Sorry ladies I have been MIA due to being soooo sick and tired! Seriously, I go to bed with my daughter at 7 sometimes at 630 and I wake up feeling like I haven't slept. I am so nasuaous all day long! Ginger tea and peppermints are my BFF's right now. I don't mean to complain but I am not sure how to do this for another 5 weeks... Sorry if you are reading this TLK you are probably cursing me right now! Anyway, for all you ladies having sex...don't feel bad...I have not had sex since I got MS!!! Poor hubby!!

I wish I could sleep like you! Last week insomnia kicked in...I was up for three days straight and it was awful! I slept very well Saturday but then back to a broken sleep pattern....I think it has alot to do with my worrying though...hurry up 12 weeks!!!

I hope your MS passes soon so you can get to the bedroom!

WELCOME all you new ladies! Sorry Ive been having such a hard time keeping up lately. Work has become a giant pain and by the time I get home im exhausted. Although Ive been getting up a lot to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night

Sooooo, Im 8 weeks today and aside from some slight nausea, my symptoms seem to be gone. Im a little worried and Im hoping some of you second time mommies to be can make me feel a little better, lol. Ive read that once you see a heartbeat chance of miscarriage decreases. Ive still got two weeks until my next appointment and Im just getting a little worried I think.

Hows everyone doing?

I am due late November and my first appointment is today. This is my first pregnancy and the nerves are outrageous! I didn't sleep last night, woke up early and went to the gym, and now I am just counting the seconds until I drive to the doctor.

I am too nervous to even read what to expect for my first appointment. Wish me luck!

Good luck! The first appointment is so exciting

I find Pregnant sex is soo much better. Must be redirected blood flow.

Can anyone who has been pregnant before elaborate on this?

I am going through the same thing and think that I'm starting to drive my hubby bananas! Do our husbands have to deal with this until we give birth? I am not complaining, but I think my husband might start to complain.

 

[missjenn]

He might complain about too much sex? Doubtful!!! lol

Can you go the gym while pregnant?

How was your appointment?

Yes, Doctor told me to keep going to the gym but not to get mad at myself if I run slower or lift lighter. He also said to keep my BPMs no higher than 140, which is easy for me because I always wear a heart monitor anyway.

However, it is important to know that it isn't a good idea to START working out once pregnancy strikes if you're not one to go to the gym -- exercise during pregnancy only recommended if your body is used to it (according to my trainer). Stay healthy!

My first appointment today was OK. They confirmed the pregnancy, said I am exactly 5 weeks along and did a vaginal ultrasound but couldn't find a heartbeat. Doc says heartbeat doesn't start until 6-7 weeks anyway so don't worry -- they did bloodwork just in case and I have an appointment next Monday for more blood! The bloodwork will determine the viability of the pregnancy. We shall see.

You know what?? Same thing happened to me today! I am eight weeks on thursday and have my first ultrasound on that day as well and today I felt great! I only had slight naseaua (spelling sorry) this morning and a bit if I got too hungry! I am not as tired as last week which was BRUTAL!!!! I am hoping this is the end of my BAD MS and I can begin to function again...I work as a social worker on a medical unit and I have been useless!! I have also been feeding my daughter Kraft Dinner a lot because i can't cook without getting sick!! Soooo mabye she can eat better again!! so Rockin I would not worry at all!! Enjoy feeling good!

I started getting MS at exactly 6 weeks so it can still happen for you...although i hope not cuz it really sucks!!! It feels like you have the flu 24/7 no fun at all...although it sure helps to minimize weight gain!! Congrats to you!!

I forgot to ask you all this...is anyone STARVING?? I am starving at like 3 AM and have to get up and eat a couple of crackers in order to go back to bed!! And it is not just hunger it actually feels like my stomach is eating itself!!

I am!!!! I have been starving since week 3! I eat and literally 10 minutes later, I'm hungry again. The week before i found out i was pregnant, i got up evey night at 430 am and ate a banana. Oh... and that no morning sickness thing I said earlier... Well, since about 11:30 am , I've had this pretty constant queasiness. Maybe it will stay just queasiness but I have a feeling I jinxed myself. MS is on the horizon.

I am going through the same thing and think that I'm starting to drive my hubby bananas! Do our husbands have to deal with this until we give birth? I am not complaining, but I think my husband might start to complain.

one of the first physical changes are said to be an increase in blood flow to the uterus, vagina, cervix and vulva. the tissue takes on a bluish or purplish colouration in early pregnancy.

with the disappearing symptoms with my last pregnancy I found once I got a bit farther along and the hormones started levelling out a bit my symptoms started to ease a bit coming and going every other day than every third day. Im hoping I get a bit of a break from this overwhelming tiredness soon. I feel like I need to sleep at least twice a day. Im very lucky I work for my Father and if its not too busy when I put DS down for a nap I can have one as well. I was never this tired with James, and the nausea is horrible. With James I was vomiting but the nausea wasnt too bad. I feel soo hung over every day, alog with the light headedness its horrible.

Also Starving here, I usually don't get very hungry but the last 2 weeks I need to eat all the time.

Haha, Im either pukey or starving....and I think part of the nausea comes from not eating frequently enough. I cant figure it out, but this morning I woke up and I knew I needed to eat or I was going to be sick
At least I have some of my symptoms back.....so next question:
My jeans are getting a little snug....is anyone else havng this? I bought a pair of maternity jeans thinking id be able to use them for awhile and theyd be comfy, but they wont stay up, i must not be big enough, but....Ive got to find something, Im so uncomfortable at work and I dont want to just wear yoga pants for the next 7 months.
Does anyone have any experience with the bellyband or belt?

I have the same problem! My pants are getting snug and uncomfortable around my waist but I can't wear maternity pants yet. I too bought a pair of maternatiy jeans and have the same issue. I did not use the belly band with my first so I don't have a clue sorry I of no help at all!!

 

[littlelolo]

Oh and I don't want to speak too soon but I don't feel too sick today either. I ate and I felt fine. I still have other symptoms but the MS can go...I remember at about 5 weeks saying I wished I was sick hahahahaha that has now changed!! I would rahter be exhausted than feel like I have a stomach flu 24/7!! Oh well at least we have growing babies!! I have my first ultrasound tomorrow morning so I will fill everyone in on how that went!

 

[wantb502]

So exciting about your first ultrasound!!! I have been super excited about mine... I'm counting down the days!

Definitely let us know how it goes! Shoot post a picture!
