November 2013 Babies!

[Rockinmomtobe]

Rockinmom: I definitely don't sell them because I stole the idea off etsy! But I would be willing to make you some for a minimal fee (just enough to cover the cost of the onesie and fabric) tell me the states and the colors you like and I would be happy to whip some up! I am not professional, so you can't be too harsh

I know all about the eating poorly problem. All I want it junk and greasy food too, I ate extremely healthy before. It's frustrating and I know my heartburn is going to start getting me.

As with the CM, I definitely notice and increase and as far as I've read... It's completely normal. I suppose as long as its not itchy, have a bad odor, or yeast like... I think it's just the increase in hormones.

I will let you know as soon as I decide about those onesies, theyre soooo cute and my parents are in AZ and his in IA, so its a great idea for us!!!

My boobs are so big I had to go out and buy 3 new bras!!!!

Still feeling great though....I have my first real initial baby appointment tomorrow at 1:30!

Im so excited for our appointments tomorrow!!!! I cant wait!! My boobs arent doing anything but being sore, lol sleeping sucks even with my sports bra, but theyre not getting any bigger....hopefully its nothing to worry about

I think sore sore breasts are totally and completely normal even if they haven't grown. This is my number one synptom. I can't sleep without a bra because in the morning they are so painful from flopping around. Mine have grown quit a bit too, but in holding out on buying new bras for a while because if I'm anything like my mom, I may have to get a specialty bra. I started out in a 32 D, so I do expect things to get out of hand eventually. Especially since my cup runneth over already.

Hi ladies,
I haven't been on for almost a month now I think. Sorry!!
But my morning sickness got so bad that I couldn't bear to look at my iPhone or laptop (very strange I know - but I had the same thing with my first)
I still feel super sick now but I have tablets which have taken the edge off!!
I'm trying to not over do the junk food but healthy food seems to make me feel so much worse. This isn't ideal as I was already overweight!!!

I had an early scan last week and I am now 9 weeks amd 2 days.

How are you all doing?

Go to motherhood maternity. They have nice big ones! My last pregnancy i started out about the same as you, and ended up in an E by the time i was breastfeeding! But that store goes up to F or G i think..... good place to go!

Wow, I wouldn't think you are a size D in that picture...lol...but maybe I don't know my bra sizes because mine are all different sizes,lol! Mine are only sore on the sides and only if I poke them to check!

Very exciting...I just wish I was getting an ultra sound!!! I'm going to see if there is any way I can have one this week.

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

Apparently i was lied to!!! I am not getting an ultrasound!!! I freaked out for like an hour and then OH calmed me down. Theyll do the fetal heart rate monitor to make sure everythings going well and take some blood. Id just feel better if I had another US, but...its ok, I have no reason to believe anything is wrong. My next one wont be until 18 or 20 weeks, Ill find out for sure tomorrow and that will be my gender scan!!!!

 

[luna_19]

I went up and entire cup size almost right after my bfp, bought new bras around 6 weeks

It's strange how different things are in different places. I thought 12 week scans were pretty routine.

 

[wantb502]

Thanks for the tip on the bra shopping! I will be definitely going there. These girls are deceiving large especially around the outside. I can't even walk down the stairs without horrible pain... I wish they just hurt when I poked them!

Oh wow, 18-20 weeks is a long time! Thanks for mentioning the fetal heart rate thingy...Im going to ask If I can have that tomorrow!! It would seem like the next best thing to an ultra sound!

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

AHHHH! So my eczema has been terrible since I got pregnant and I guess I was scratching a lot in my sleep last night. I woke up this morning and on my leg it looks like someone took a baseball bat to it! Im guessing theyre broken capillaries, but Im so glad Im going to the doctor today

I had my first drs appointment today, they did an ultrasound because my cycles are so long and wonky- found out I'm 6 weeks +- about 2 days. We even got to see the heart beating! So that makes my official due date December 3. My first baby came 5 days early so I'm expecting this one to be early as well, but we'll see!

 

[missjenn]

SO my due date is November 5th and I actually got to hear the heart beat today...180 bpm...a strong health heart beat!

Because my HCG levels were so high in last blood test they are sending me for an early ultra sound....they wanted to do it today but the dr ended up in surgery so I'm on call for one within the next 48 hours.

It could be 1 of 4 things....1)very normal singleton pregnancy with high levels....2)twins...3)a twin molar pregnancy mean one of the babies did not develop properly and turned into a benign tumor....4)or a malformation which is on the lowest end of the spectrum. The only reason that is even on there is because I told them I read about it and they said not to be concerned but they will want to rule it out as well and mostly to put mind at ease.

I also had my first down syndrome screening today and get the results in a few days I believe.

They gave me a pap test and then sent me for bloodwork and a urine sample. When I went to pee I was some blood and started bawling my eyes out and went right back up the elevator to the doctor. They did another internal exam and my cervix was scarped from the pap test which caused it to bleed (brown spotting) a bit. I was so freaked out but they said it was totally normal for that to happen during pregnancy pap tests.

It was a long day....so now...I just wait for the ultra sound...im not going to panic as the dr told me that most likely everything is totally fine!

Missjenn and luz, your appointments sound wonderful! Missjenn, I bet there is two in there! You have to let us know how it goes... I will be checking the thread constantly to see. You'll have to put up your US picture. Luz, can we see yours?!?!

Congrats ladies!

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

I wish I had as great of news as Jenn & Luz but I go back in 2 weeks for another attempt at finding the heartbeat. The doctor did not seem concerned at all and said that at 10 weeks there's only a 50/50 chance of hearing it with a Doppler to begin with plus im chunky. He also did an internal exam and said everything felt the right size...so after I cried hysterically I decided to be positive and took my first bump picture. It made me feel better. I thought if share it with you ladies. Please excuse my messy hair lol

Don't get discouraged! And You look totally cute! I love the sign. I told DH yesterday that he will need to start taking belly pictures at 8 weeks. Anything that is showing now is bloat and I don't really want that documented! Pictures come after we see our baby for the first time. I feel fat right now and feel like in showing. I usually have a pretty flat tummy, but I definitely have some growth! Blahh! I miss my runners body

 

[luna_19]

Missjen twins would be exciting! I never had betas done but my tests were super dark right from the beginning and I got a 2-3 weeks on a digi at 15 dpo.

I started taking belly pics at 4 weeks, this is the first week I've started to notice a difference

Rockinmom have you had an ultrasound yet?

We have the same due date!!

I got the call and Im going in for the ultra sound at 11:30....so nervous!!

As for the heart beat...this might ease your mind a bit. My doctor told me that they just changed their policy 2 days ago....before they only did the heart beat with doppler at 15 or 16 weeks. They just started doing it at 10 weeks this week. They said that a dr from another province was really surprised to hear they were going to do it at 10 weeks as they aren't always able to pick one up that early. Before she did it...she warned me not to be alarmed if they weren't able to find one. So, I think you are totally fine woman!!!!

You are super cute!!! And funny enough...you kind of look how I pictured you, ha!

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

Thanks for the encouragement ladies and yes Ive had an ultrasound which is why Im trying to not work. The heart was beating just fine at 6+1, so. Im sure its all ok

 

[missjenn]

I just had my ultra sound and we are one full week farther along than we thought. We are 11 weeks today and my new official due date is now October 30th.

We got to see the legs...feet...arms...hands...everything...bottoms of babies feet...baby waving around and little dives...it was really cool!

I will get the results hopefully later this afternoon....but the lady doign the scan pretty much told us there is one in there.
