November 2013 Babies!

[therealdalia]

My next appointment is tomorrow (I will be 11 weeks 2 days). This is my third prenatal appointment, and the first time my husband will be joining me. I think this appointment might be pretty uneventful...I can't wait to find out the sex!

 

[missjenn]

Hi ladies, thank god heart beat was still there! Loud, clear and strong at 168 bpm.

That's great to hear...thanks for the update! Word on the internet is that you're hearing the heartbeat of a GIRL!

I also finally understand why people with big boobs don't wear halter tops, lol

This actually made me lol. So true.

Thats what others have told me too . Hubby thinks it's a boy for sure...i think its a girl. We will know June 12!!!!

Did you get to hear the heart beat yet?

 

[therealdalia]

Yep, I heard the heartbeat when I was 7 weeks along via trans-vaginal ultrasound. I didn't really enjoy it because I was scared...all I heard was static and radio interference with a few awkward thumps every few seconds. It seemed like the heartbeat was faint and something was very wrong...but the Doc told me the heartbeat sounded great and was 140 BPMs!

Hopefully, I'll be more optimistic tomorrow and won't freak out again if I hear the weirdness I heard last time.

Can we do a roll call of BPMs? I guess it'll be a fun way to put that old wive's tale to the ultimate test.

140 BPMs and below: BOY
140+ BPMs: GIRL

Disclaimer: There is no scientific correlation between BPMs and gender. But still...why not play a little?!

Mine was 144 at 12+4 so I guess it could go either way

I was going to keep wearing my regular clothes for as long as I could but I found that I look more pregnant and less fat in mat tops so I've made the switch. Oh and for pants it was very uncomfortable for me to sit in my regular jeans starting around 9/10 weeks so those are out too

Also my boobs are way too big now for all my summer tank tops and dresses

My boobs are huge! I went up two full sizes already!

Me too! These girls are outta control! I went from a 32D to a 34 DDD!!! I know they are just going to get bigger too! DH make me change tops if they look too big so people won't talk or ask

8 weeks 2 days: 168bpm
I feel like Baby implanted on the left side which they say is 97% girl (had implantation pain) but I've had a boy dream... We'll see!

Good luck with your appointment today! Be sure to let us know how it went. And today Im sure you will get to hear the heart beat with the doppler!

When are you guys going to tell people?

 

[luna_19]

We told everyone this past weekend

 

[Butterball Ma]

Hi! I'm new to BnB and thought I should stop in and say hi. Our due date is Nov 29th, which let's me know that this kiddo is totally looking out for me. I hate Black Friday shopping and usually have to wiggle out of it, but not this year, since that's the due date. I definitely don't expect to go that long, though. Let's see, I have an 11 year old daughter, so this sorta like starting all over for me. Anyway, hope you guys don't mind me crashing your party

 

[wantb502]

Welcome! Join the party!

We have told some people. We are going to tell my Husbands BF tonight because he will be out of the country until 6/6/13 and I don't want him to find out on FB. We are going to tell family after our appointment next Tuesday (as long as everything looks good) and our friends on the 18th! I'm getting super nervous about our appt. reading these BNB boards are depressing and make me so scared that something is terribly wrong, though I have no indication of something bad. We weren't going to announce on FB but I know 2 people that announced yesterday and it makes me want to too!

This is my idea.... DH and I raise chickens for eggs (and have for about 2 years) and so I was going to put a picture of an egg and a baby chick next to it and write above it "Baby Harris due to hatch November 23rd!"

How was the appointment today?!?!?

 

[missjenn]

That's a super cute idea!!

You have such a busy life...and you raise chickens too!!! ha! That's awesome!

I don't know why I keep reading all the boards on here...they are by no means positive!!! Ugghhh!! They just put so many negative possibilities in your head!!

I should just click on the ones that sound like they are going to be happy positives ones! I know everyone comes on here for support but there are alot of scary stories that can get in your head easily!

 

[wantb502]

I know missjenn, I always read the boards and feel awful afterward. I've tried to stay away, but my damn curiosity gets me everytime. The posts can make anyone doubt the health of their pregnancy. I like your idea but ony reading the ones that look positive.

Awesome! How far along were you exactly when you spilled the beans? We're still figuring out how to tell folks; and wondering when that perfect time will be.

Welcome to the forum! A black Friday baby? How exciting! Our due dates are almost the same and I am excited about not having to cook for Thanksgiving!

The hatchling idea sounds too cute!

When do you plan to do your Facebook announcement? I only ask because our due dates are VERY close and was getting info to find out when I should do mine. I am thinking I might wait until I have a pronounced BUMP and post a pic of my pregnant self. Not sure though.

Let me know how your announcement goes!

 

[therealdalia]

My appointment was great!

Heartbeat was much clearer this time at a thumping 156 BPMs ... sounds like a baby girl to me! Anyway, I am 11w 2d and measuring at 11w 4d. Doc says baby wouldn't stop moving and is very active. I go to the genetic ultrasound next week. I hope all keeps going well.

 

[luna_19]

I was 12+6 when we told the parents, we were waiting until after the ultrasound a week ago. It's really scary having everyone know especially after waiting for so long to get knocked up but we had to tell them sometime

 

[wantb502]

We have our 12 week 2 day US and we will be telling everyone the next weekend... Right at 13 weeks. Our next US (after next weeks) won't be until 20 weeks. I will feel more confident after hitting the second trimester and seeing the baby. We will announce on the 19th at 13 weeks

 

[wantb502]

I so happy your ultrasound went so well!

 

[wantb502]

Happy Mother's Day to everyone whether you be a mother already or you will be soon! Hope everyone has a wonderful day and everyone is feeling on the up and up! Soon we will all be in 2nd trimester!!! Way to go November mommas!!

 

[missjenn]

We will all be celebrating next year!!! Yipee!!!
