November 2013 Babies!

[Storked]

Due November 8th! Though I think I will be induced at 39 weeks

Rockingmom, you are close to the second tri. I was feeling so NOT pregnant yesterday but today has been bad. I am not sure if it is morning sickness though or just my body being tired of eating in Bangkok.
Have you gone to Ross? You may find some maternity jeans for cheaper there but not sure about variety/style.

Hi to everyone- sorry I haven't been on. Out of the country still but headed home tonight and will catch up when I can!

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

Im due November 5!

So how come some of you ladies know youll be induce at 38 or 39 weeks?

Thanks for the advice about Ross, Ive checked there, but the selection is limited and and believe it or not, its a lot of just plus size stuff they've shoved in the maternity section Oh well. Ill keep looking. Ive got to find something soon, my lower abdomen is getting hard and even with my belly band my jeans are getting a little uncomfortable and my shirts are getting short, lol

Hope everyones doing well. My next appt is Wednesday where theyll listen for the heartbeat again! Im getting anxious

Me because twins are considered full term at 37 weeks instead of 40

Hi Everyone! It has been awhile since I posted. I am 11 weeks and my MS is gone!!! Once and awhile I will have a wave but I am feeling soooo much better. I am still very tired but that is getting better as well. How are you all feeling??

I hear ya with the cost of maternity pants!! I had to buy 2 pairs and I paid 50 each...not cool! But they are soooo comfortable and when you are pregnant comfort is everything! I bought pants that turn into capris so I would not have to buy summer stuff as well.

Are you guys doing the nuchal scan and blood work? I did with my daughter and I am with this one too but it makes me nervous. I am just excited to see the baby again!

 

[Storked]

I opted out of the nuchal scan
I have to be induced to control bleeding. I'm on blood thinners for a clotting disorder.

I am very sick but I think it has less to do with baby and more with motion sickness. Finally home after 3 flights!

 

[missjenn]

I keep looking at my pictures! I am so in love

Im so glad youre ultrasound went great!!! Its a pretty awesome feeling

Jenn- How did your FB announcement go? Did you have fun? When are you going for your next appointment?

AFM- Im ready for 1st tri to be done! Im soooo moody and exhausted and hungry and nauseous and I kind of want to punch something. AAAAND Im mad about it being difficult to find reasonably priced maternity pants!!! Why is this so hard? I dont want to spend $50 on pants lol

Ugh...I feel a little better. Thanks for letting me vent. Im getting a little nervous about our appointment Wednesday to try and hear the heartbeat again. Ill be 12+1, hopefully thats far enough along. I just wish theyd do an ultrasound since Im heavier So yes, bad week, trying to turn things around for a better next week.
Hope you ladies are doing well!!

I can't wait to hear about you appointment! I hope this is your week!

I did a video and posted it on facebook! I wish there was a way to show you it here....everyone loved how we did it!

We decided to do it. It scares me but I would like to be prepared if
The risk is high. Also, it's the only way to get another ultrasound before week 20! I want to see my baby at least once before we announce our pregnancy to the world! I can wait to see fingers, toes, and a nose!

 

[wantb502]

I don't even want to look at maternity clothes. I am going to try to get away with maxi skirts and cotton dresses this summer. I think I'll probably try to steer completely away from maternity pants.

 

[luna_19]

I'm having an nt scan on may 2

I got the comfiest jeans today they are the demi panel maternity jeans from old navy. I them! They look totally normal and just have a little stretchy bit at the waist

They have tons of cute mat dresses and skirts too, I'm going to get some a bit later on.

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

I have to wear jeans at work so no maternity pants isnt really an option, although i wish it was lol.
My doctors didnt offer a nuchal scan. I have blood work done this week to see if we even have any indicators, if we do, then we get another ultrasound. The blood tests are supposed to be 95% accurate, so, Im not too worried about it.

Luna- I got the demi panel jeans at old navy and i cant keep them up, they keep sagging, lol. They look and feel terrible! Im glad you had better luck with them.

I think Im just going to keep wearing my belly band until i can buy full on maternity pants lol.

Other than that Ive been a little moodier than normal this last week or so, it could be the stress of working extra hours and looking for a bigger place, Im not sleeping well since Im so anxious about getting our living situation sorted out Im tired WAAAAA lol.

I had the most horrible dream about miscarriage last night. I was hysterical in my dream and I woke up completely freaked out. DH and I DTD last night (tmi) and I always worry about it hurting the baby. I think that's why I had the dream. Stupid dreams. Anyone else had horrible dreams?!

 

[luna_19]

Rockinmom I have a really hard time finding jeans that fit me properly anyways, usually they are too loose in the butt/legs when I get something that fits my waist so was really surprised that they work for me and my weird body shape

I have been having weird dreams every night but not really scary ones. I definitely dream about whatever I was thinking about before bed though. I keep having dreams with only one baby instead of two, maybe my subconscious hasn't accepted that there will be two yet

 

[larvalstalker]

I keep having bad dreams about miscarrying where there is lots of blood where I go to the washroom or I look down at my belly and it is covered in blood. I always wake my OH up and he calms me down. During the day I have no worries at all and my pregnancy is totally normal ... stupid dream ><

Thank you for telling me this. I felt like I was losing it. I know it's always been a constant fear, but I've been feeling so good! I hate that dreams act things out that we aren't really outright thinking about. Mean! I can't wait to have the dreams about what they look like and if its a boy or a girl.

Anyone have gender dreams yet?

 

[therealdalia]

Sorry to hear about those dreams, ladies.

Anyone just feeling "hormonal"? I have, but not with mood swings. I have actually had a wild uplift in mood and have been attached like glue to my husband...almost to the point that I am obsessed with him, like a teen crush.

I have had some gender dreams, so has my mom and my brother and we all think it will be a girl She always has a pretty full head of dark hair (like I did when I was born lol) and her Daddy's eyes

I have been moody with certain things that didn't used to bother me. We live in an apartment and the people above us are first year university students who are away from home for the first time and constantly act like idiots lol. Every time they start blaring music my OH has to hold me back. They have idiotic fights and stamp around at like 3am and constantly yell that each other is a "re***d" or "fag". I really can't stand people like that...
If they are still there when the baby is born and they wake him/her up I will DESTROY them ><

Hi ladies,
Could I join you in your November thread? I got my BFP March 15th, but I knew I was pregnant before that. It was quite a surprise, to say the least. I have PCOS, so this pregnancy is a little bit of a miracle. I have had some complications so far with bleeding for two weeks, but it has stopped for the last week and 4 days. The last ultrasound I had at 6- 6 1/2 weeks showed the sac, fetal pole (hanging out in the bottom corner), and a heartbeat. My obgyn didn't want to date the pregnancy yet, but said I would be around 6 and a half weeks at that time and will give me a more accurate date on this upcoming Thursday. There are a couple of dates that I probably conceived on, but I am hoping on my Birthday. What a special birthday present (either way). If it is true that conception happened on my birthday, the due date would be November 25th.
My doctor has me on 200 mg of progesterone twice a day and that is what I believe saved this baby from the bleed. I am also on bed rest, it would be nice to have people to talk to! This is my first pregnancy.

Also, about those nightmares about miscarriage. I have had them too. Two really bad ones where I soaked in the tub and bled and held my baby and cried, I woke up crying and in a panic to that one. And last night I had another where I lost the baby at 27 weeks. I am sure that these dreams are just fears manifesting themselves in irrational ways. The fear of a m/c is so strong for me right now due to the bleeding and my prior ailments.

I hope you all are well and hopefully I can join you guys on your journeys and we can share this together.

Welcome Whittnie, so great to have you and CONGRATS!!!
Im sorry all you ladies are having terrible dreams. I havent had any baby dreams yet, but my dreams in general are all whacked. Before I got pregnant I never remembered my dreams and now theyre frequent and so strange. I hope they go away lol.

Well Im 12 weeks today and it feels like a miracle! And like its taken forever lol. Ready for the doctor tomorrow and waiting to hear on the townhouse OH and I are trying to get! So much exciting stuff!

What has everyone heard about when exactly youre considered second tri? Im feeling a little in between
