November 2013 Babies!

[luna_19]

Luna that is awesome we are on the same day! I really like your baby bump, mine doesn't look like that as I had a baby 16 years ago so mine is not as toned , I am at the point where I look in between fat and pregnant. Can others tell with you? or only if they know what to look for? Are you finding out what it is? We are not, so exciting!!

We're team yellow too

I feel like I'm in between fat and pregnant too. I think people who know me notice but other people probably think I just have a belly

Speaking of baby bumps, I am 12 weeks and starting to show...BIG TIME! People who know me can definitely see it and I have noticed a couple of work colleagues stare at my bigger belly.

Since I am starting to show, I have a question: I am working in a position where my job ends August 31st. Considering that maternity leave is irrelevant, should I tell my employer at least as a courtesy? If so, how do I tell them?

 

[luna_19]

I don't think you need to tell them

Hi, ladies!

I'm late in joining this. I forgot there's a section for pregnancy buddies on BnB, and I've been a member since '11.

I'm 27 and OH is 30. We have a 14 month old daughter.

Well I'm due November 24th. I had just found out we're pregnant and that was 2 weeks ago. I was on the pills and getting regular periods until lately, got a weird bleed. I've also been dizzy during workouts so put 2 and 2 together, and DING! Got a hpt and it immediately turned a nice dark pink line.

I never imagined having 2 under 2. It's a scary thought, but I know it'll get better. I hope I'll be able to cope with 2 kids so close together!

Hello!

Congrats on your BFP - I'm due the 24th too wow that must have been a shock, especially to find out you were so far gone! I've got a friend who has 2 within a year of each other and she said it was the best thing she ever did and now is preggers again! Have you had your scan yet then?

I'm so jealous, I want a bump rather than podgy bloat!! I CAN'T WAIT to have a bump and defo will want to be showing it off lol!

I guess do you want to tell them and do they need to do a risk assessment because of the job you do?

No risk assessment is necessary; risk is minimal since the work is mostly administrative.

Welcome! So many of us are due on November 24th...isn't it awesome knowing that we won't have to cook Thanksgiving dinner?!

Oh yes! It was a shock alright. I'm okay now lol. But it's OH who's having a hard time swallowing the idea of 2 kids so soon. I think for him as a man is the stress of providing, money-wise. In time, I'm sure he will be okay. It seems it's a normal thing for men to feel scared. Oh, and yes, I've had 2 scans already. The first was a requested dating scan and second was the 2nd trimester scan and test for down syndrome and something else, I forget. Apparently, I'm in the age bracket to be tested for it.

Therraldalia - you're right lol. What's funny is our nephew has a birthday on the 19th of November and my sister has a birthday on the 23rd. I also share a birthday with OH's cousin and OH has the same birthday as his uncle. It would be interesting if lo is born sharing the same birthday as another family member.

Luna: what a perfect bump!!! Love it!

Thereal: come on girl flaunt your bump! I bet it's cute!!

 

[wantb502]

I love thy I am out of the cooking responsibility this year! What a blessing! Bahahha!

 

[therealdalia]

Thereal: come on girl flaunt your bump! I bet it's cute!!

haha, I will take a pic tonight. It doesn't look like a "bump" though. I don't know why it's so high and looks like it's filled with air, lol.

It would be interesting if lo is born sharing the same birthday as another family member.

Don't worry about having the babies so close together; I actually would prefer to have back-to-back babies. It'll give your babies the perfect opportunity to grow up and be best friends. You guys are also going to have a great November...lots of parties and birthdays to celebrate!

This reminds me that I wanted to ask everyone...do you think we have the largest bump buddy club? I heard that November babies are the highest in numbers because a November baby often means a Valentine's day conception date.

As for me, that definitely wasn't the case! In fact, I don't think my husband and I ever did the deed on a Valentine's Day....he needs to get with the program and become a bit more romantic.

 

[missjenn]

We thought we were one of the Valentines day baby makers but then we were dated a week farther then we thought...which I still don't understand but I'll take it .

 

[The Alchemist]

Omg...now that your mentioned it....I think we conceived around Valentines day. Eh, I'm not sure even. But all I know is that were dtd like rabbits in February!

 

[The Alchemist]

Lol! ...had to laugh at the scenario of many November babies because of Valentines day.

 

[luna_19]

Valentine's baby here, I o'ed on Feb 16

 

[wantb502]

We're not having a v day baby...don't even think we DTD that day!

 

[Scarlett P]

I've heard that said before about November babies! Defo wasn't the case here though as Feb 14th was the first day of my last AF!!

We've got several family birthdays in November too...am hoping LO is born on my Dad's birthday so that I don't have to buy him a present

 

[therealdalia]

Here are my baby bumps: 13 weeks, 1 day.

 

[therealdalia]

I don't know why they're sideways; they were upright when I uploaded. Hope you get the idea.

This is my post-workout bump from this morning and a nighttime bump from last night.
