November 29th Due Date - I need a buddy!

[MissSazra]

Hi! Hope everyone's doing ok!

Just got my first midwife appointment through for 15th April, and I have a wedding to go to that day! Grrrr! Have to phone Monday to rearrange, I just hope it doesn't get put back too much. Of all the days they could have chosen!

 

[luckyalready]

Dang MissSaz! Maybe the sooner you call the sooner they can reschedule an appt closer to the original date.
Sparkle, that is exciting - I am hoping you see the cutest little bean!

My doc always schedules the first appt to be around 8-10 weeks and does an ultra sound then too. Im excited. Mine is April 28th. cant wait to see my baby, secretly Im hoping I will see TWO.lol

 

[sparklebunny]

Thanks hun! Well if I was worried about a lack of symptoms I shouldn't have been.. I've had achingly sore nips and bbs all day! And nausea on and off and now I'm in bed and it's 7.50pm!! 6 weeks tomorrow!! Yay! I hope your scan goes well my lovely! It's funny I was just thinking I hope I see two! How cool would that be!!

 

[LeahLou]

My due date is Nov. 29th too!!
I'm having cramps (which I must admit, I've been nervous about) and been really nauseous in the car.

 

[Allie84]

You girls are all so lucky to be getting scans way before 20 weeks! I don't know if I can take it, honestly.....

like you say, what if there's two?!?!

 

[BuggasMama]

Aww how sweet we will share a birthday. lol

 

[desiwannabmom]

So ladies, I have been cramping all day in the lower pelvis area, not serious that I have to lie down but enough to make me a bit worried. Anyone else having that?

 

[luckyalready]

Hi Desi.. I havent had consistent real cramping for about a week.. but I still have moments of some cramping and pains off and on.. Like most things say, unless they are accompanied by blood, dont worry.. there are just a lot of things happening in there right now! Just relax and dont worry yourself too much momma!

 

[desiwannabmom]

Thanks, Lucky! Man, I am stressing so much for one baby..I cannot imagine how women who have 7,8,9,10 kids go through this. Hats off to them!

 

[luckyalready]

Desi, I think you worry less when you already have children.. because you know it worked out before, even though you were nervous and worried the whole time - everything worked out fine... also you have little ones to keep ya busy and not so focused on the pregnancy.. ALTHOUGH, LOL..I have a 2 year old and a 10 year old "pre-teen diva" step daughter...and Im still obsessed.. but thats what people tell me anyway

 

[Allie84]

At my mid-wife appointment, she said that any cramping that feels like mild period cramps are your uterus stretching...as the uterus is a muscle. I notice that I feel things more at night when I'm really tired or if I'm not drinking enough water. She said to drink 3 liters of water a day!!! So in my experience, for the cramps to be less noticable I lay down and drink water.

luckyalready, your daugthers are so cute!

 

[desiwannabmom]

Allie, Thanks for the water tip. Now that I think about it, I was on my feet all day yesterday..well starting at almost crack of the dawn (was cheering for the Indians at the World Cup Cricket) and I did NOT drink enough water. When I am work, I seem to drink a lot of it and when at home, I don't seem to. That must be one of the reason for the cramps.

I'm the same, when I'm working I drink loads of water but at home my hubby has to remind me to drink, so it's good to know that I need to drink more. And on that note, I am going to go and get a large glass of water as I've had barely anything today! Oooops!

 

[sparklebunny]

God i'm crap at drinking water...need to improve that. I had really bad swelling last pg with my DD, probably something to do with it! Nausea has kicked in big time today and i'm still knackered! Only 2 days til i can breath a little easier.....hurry up scan!

 

[MissSazra]

I've just downloaded a pregnancy app for my phone, where I can tap the glasses of water I've drunk each day (as well as other good stuff) hopefully that will help to keep me on track.

 

[LeahLou]

What app is that???
I'm the same way with water drinking. The cramps have kind of scared me, but I'm glad it's normal!!

 

[MissSazra]

It's called Pregnancy Companion. Has a cartoon pregnant woman in a yellow dress as it's design.

Hello Girls!
Looks like we have a lot of us due around the same time! Awesome!
I havent been having cramps for about a week..and I woke up this morning with them, scared me a bit. But no blood to go along with it..so I think Im okay. Super sore boobs and irritability.. I think it may just be bloating, but it sure is odd, I have a belly that sticks out already. With my last pregnancy my belly was HUGE. My doc said I have a very tilted uterus.. I started showing early with my daughter, probably around 8 weeks. here is a pic I took on monday

Lucky! Can we see pics of your first pregnant belly? I want a peek of what we all have to look forward to!

I hope everyone is healthy and well

 

[luckyalready]

Hi BabyShaw! Okay..Im sorry this post is going to be so huge.
I did a picture every week starting with week 6.. the first picture shows until week 17 .. then I didnt make another collage, (although I should) - so here are a few random weeks closer to the end..all the way til the day before I got induced (40 weeks 3 days)
I was HUGE. lol
