November 2013 Babies!

[Storked]

I'm 9 weeks 5 days today and as of yesterday, my low abdomen is kind of achy. It almost feels as though I've done crunches. Do you think this is just growing aches or something I should be concerned about?!? It's not painful... Just dull achy.

Sounds normal

I've had some stomach cramping today...a bit ongoing but has gone now...no bleeding or anything...just some discomfort that I haven't really had. I hope its normal!

 

[wantb502]

Yeah... I talked with my SIL and she's a month further than me. She says its normal because it feels like tugging. My uterus is growing I'm okay, I am always slightly worried about everything. Always cautious...

 

[whittnie117]

I have the tugging feeling too. makes things a little sensitive. I call it tightening because that's what it compares to for me, really uncomfy, but baby is just growing and needs my uterus bigger. That's what I keep telling myself, lol.

I am sure it is just normal, especially with no bleeding. Just make sure to mention it at your next appointment. I'm sure they will dismiss it, lol.

 

[missjenn]

Thanks, my next appointment is May 7th...feels forever away!!

Your little baby bumps look so cute!

Sorry Ive been away ladies, Ive just been sleeping lol

I had strange stomach tugging (like Id done 100 sit ups) between like 6 and 10 weeks on and off, like everyone seems to have said it seems normal. My actual cramping seems to have lessened quit a bit as well, which im grateful for. Even though they say its normal it still makes me nervous.

I had the first random person ask me when I was due when I was shopping yesterday lol....I was like November I had just eaten dinner so Im sure I looked 6 months pregnant, but oh well.

OH and I didnt get the townhouse we were looking at because...and can you believe this, because the owners wanted a single person instead of an expecting couple who would create more traffic and wear & tear on the place. I COULDVE SCREAMED lol Our credits good, we make enough money.....WHO DENIES A PREGNANT COUPLE A PLACE TO LIVE!!!!
Anyway, weve got offers in on a few others places and should hear soon, so im keeping my FX. Hope everyones doing well.

Those discriminating asses! Though I must admit that DH got our house when he pointed out to the owner that the other people had kids and he said "you wouldn't want it to smell like a pet store would you?" LOL
But still, how sucky!

 

[Storked]

Psst...I got to hear my baby's HB yesterday! It was awesome
Not sure if I want to pay for a fancy (and early) gender scan or not

 

[wantb502]

Well I had a horrible day yesterday. I was told we had a meeting at 730am and when I got there they said "oh...no one told you? Whoops!" And then I was at work until 7pm with patients. I know i will be at work until at least 645pm tonight. And my shelf in my closet broke I am so exhausted I can't even see straight. This weekend I had manned and organized a water stop for the marathon here and was up at 530am. I just have to make it to my birthday on the 22nd and then, no more projects, no more favors for people, and no more anything. I am focusing on myself, my husband , and my baby ONLY! 23 days left!

Wow, that blows! The truth is....a childless couple will more than likely party...a couple with child will more than likely not....party life verses family life! I would prefer renting to a family! I hope that couple get a dog !

I think im going to have more to show in my 15 week pic next Wed. My belly is starting to bulge...but its just my lower belly.

Reading about your day makes me tired

I've been up since 1:30 am...couldnt sleep last night.

Hopefully we both have better days tomorrow!

We find out the sex on June 12th at our hospital for free but if we want to get the special 3D one than its 300.00 and a 2.5 hour drive.

Your pregnant belly baby bumps are adorable. Why does mine look like a pot belly? Am I the only one who can't wait to rock out a gigantic BUMP? I think baby bumps are adorable but mine isn't "cute" yet.

That is too funny! How far along are you?

Congrats! What were the BPMs?

That is what's most important. Things will look up soon!

 

[wantb502]

Thanks ladies! Sorry about the rant. I ended up being at work till 7 pm tonight too. Blah!

I can't believe those jerks wouldn't rent to a couple with a baby on the way! Ridiculous.

Thereal: I highly doubt yours look like a potbelly! You should post a picture! I bet you look super ute!

Missjenn: I hope you can get some rest! Sleep deprivation is for the birds!

I seriously cannot believe you can actually handle all that. I dont think I could right now and Im starting to get a little more energy back, lol. You are a goddess, GET SOME REST!!!!

SOOOOO, I believe we have found a new townhouse, a teeny bit pricier, but bigger and nicer!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAY I should know tomorrow! Its open and spacious and has a nice room for the baby and a study for all our books lol Im really excited. Ive been exercising more so thats helping me I think which is great. My sex drive is on the up & up (which im sure OH is happy about) and I can stay awake past 8! Hopefully second tri will treat me well. Hope everyones doing great!!!

 

[luna_19]

hey all, had my 12 week scan today and got good and bad news. Bad is that one of the babies stopped growing around 6 weeks but good is that the other baby is doing just great NT was normal and heart rate was 144bpm

 

[whittnie117]

Hey girls, sorry I have been distant. Still reading everyone's posts.

Luna, I am so sorry to hear your news. I am glad that you are looking at the positive that you still have one in there kicking around and growing really well. Your ultrasound picture looks really good.

Rockin, perhaps not getting the last townhouse was a blessing in disguise. Sure you loved it, but this new place is bigger! More room for, ack hem, more babies!! I do agree that a childless couple could actually cause more trouble than a couple with a baby on the way. Weird.

Want, I am sorry that your having some rough days. You are keeping strong though, I would have broke. And if my closet broke after all that, I would have probably cried and threw things around, then cried some more because I would have had to picked up those thrown things. You just have a little time left before family time, hold your head up.

As for me, my tummy is all kinds of ouch. Anyone having pains that aren't cramps, but radiate the entire lower belly? I though it was gas (tmi), but I am not so sure. No bleeding or back pain, just looking for an answer.

Also, like I said, I am a big woman, but I can feel my bump now. It's so surreal to know that there is so much going on in the body and you have a little person growing inside you.

 

[wantb502]

Rockin: I agree, I bet this is a blessing in disguise! I really hope this all works out soon so you can rest easy in your new place. I am totally jealous about your energy. I can't wait for that day... And the sex drive! I feel like mine went on vacation and decided to stay an extra week!

Luna: I'm sorry to hear about the other baby. I am so happy you posted that US though! I must say, that is a gorgeous looking baby! Congrats, it looks perfect!! I am so excited and VERY nervous for my 12 week scan.

Whit: I haven't kept it together at all. I am having a very very hard time this week. Normally, I would be able to handle all this and then some but I have lost completely two different days this week. Last night I had a major break down. My sister has bipolar disorder and She is going through a rough period. I think her (new)psych put her on a stimulant because she convinced him tht she has ADHD. Well now she is UP UP UP and it's very bad. The last time she was like this, she had to be commited. I am scared for her. Because of that and other things like exhaustion, i freaked out because I am so worried all this stress is hurting the baby. I am so scared that when we go to the scan on the 14th they will say that it's heart isn't beating and it will be all my fault for putting so much stress on my poor baby. I cried hysterically last night and my poor DH probably thinks I'm crazy. He said I need to exercise more and of course then I cried because I am worried he thinks I'm fat (I know he said it because exercise always makes feel better). I can't run because my boobs kill and thats the only exercise I really enjoy My birthday is the 22nd and we were going to have a cook out and tell all our friends but Dave picked up an extra shift. So I'm canceling the party.

Everything seem so much more difficult. These hormones are doing a number on my emotionsl stability. I know I need to step back and take a deep breath!

In regards to the low belly pain, I'm having that too. It's not pain per se, but achy and almost feels like movement. I am 10 weeks 4 days and I think it's jut round ligiment pain and uterine stretching. I can feel a difference in my belly, but I really can't wait to be nice and round and actually look pregant, not just chubby. I don't think we need to worry about it!
