November Sparklers 2014....22 boys, 22 girls born! Please update us!

PS all the ladies that mentioned headaches or migraines, that could possibly be a sign of blood pressure getting to high. I used to be a pharmacy tech at a hospital and one time I had a headache and one of the nurses took my bp. My pressure was normal, but I've never forgotten that little bit of sage advice.

Excellent advice. In my case, I know my blood pressure is normal, and occasionally it actually goes kinda low. Some headaches can be normal, and it's not always something scary, but it's definitely worth getting checked out to be safe, ESPECIALLY if it's something new, severe, accompanied by other symptoms, or something just doesn't feel right. For my part, I sincerely apologize for giving bad advice. I meet a lot of people who say "migraine" when they mean "moderate to bad headache." Which of course shouldn't be ignored either, but my brain saw migraine and just subbed in headache of basically any variety. My apologies.

Please don't apologize! When did you give bad advice? All advice is good advise, I'm sorry if I said something wrong, I'll have to go back and read more. Yes, headaches are very common in pregnancy for all the reasons that you mentioned, increased blood circulation, hormones. In my case I had had a steady headache for 3 days non stop, that wouldn't go away with tylenol, and I remembered that nurses advice and took my bp and it was high. I've had normal headaches, but that one felt different and I knew it wasn't just a regular headache, if that makes sense.

We've got a name!
Zoe Maddox Winter
Her brother is
Jace Riley Winter I think they match well.

I like the name Zoe!! I mentioned it to my husband before we found out gender and he said no Z names.. I'm so glad he liked the name Macie, I was prepared to fight him for that one, lol. I have a neice who's name is Winter and last name is Bell, I love that name. Winter Bell. I like both your kiddos names! And your last name is neat too.

Before I got married I had a name I had to spell and tell people how to pronounce. So happy not to now!

Ugh, my married last name is Minnies, and I Always have to spell it, sometimes I say "like minnie mouse with an s". I hate that, lol. I didn't officially change my last name for a year after I got married, I just didn't want to let it go.

Mwel: Definitely keep... that BP monitored. I hope you have relief from your migranes.

Hopeful: I love it! It was a baby name on our first DD list, but we went with Chloe. DH still wanted Zoe for #2, but I didn't want my girls rhyming. I liked Ella. So, we put them together and got Zoela (Zo Ella).

Kazine: Loving the bump! Gorgeous!

Junbait: Congrats on !

Afm: I have headaches a lot, but I think they are because of my calcium supplement.

I'm glad everyone is having an easy time of finding baby girl names. I'm having a rough time of it.

 

[eyemom]

Oh no cncem, you didn't say anything wrong at all! I just felt bad that I responded in such a way that would only apply to minor things. I'd hate it if someone saw what I wrote, blew off their symptoms, and then it was in fact something serious.

 

[cncem]

Leinzlove, with all three of my kiddos the names just popped into my head, like they were meant to be. I'm sure you'll figure out the perfect name.

eyemom, hugs lady. I kind of feel like we're all sisters here, going through the same things, at the same times, I feel closer to everyone because of it. Everyone is so polite, I love it.

 

[hopefulfor1st]

Oh ma gosh, thrush, be gone!

 

[MummyToAmberx]

Oh ma gosh, thrush, be gone!

Totally with you grr

 

[MummyToAmberx]

Congrats on the genders

Hope those are feeling rough get better soon. We all react differently to headaches etc. Im sure if its different from our normal to get checked out.
My third 2nd tri each time been worse for headaches my BP always been the same. Actually had mine checked yesterday i had to go get some more meds off gp.

Wow baby really got its groove on last night, then i felt sooo sick after yuck.

On the topic of names...we have a boy name but not a girl name. I know we could come up with a girl name, but as of now our hearts aren't set on anything in particular, and it's hard for me to think about until we know what we're having.

Boy name has been decided for a long time. DH has had his heart set on a first name since he was a teenager because of something important that happened to him. It's not a name I love, and I pushed back pretty hard for a while, but seeing how important it is to him, and how I have nothing I'm really attached to, I can't really say no. But I still lament having a child with this name. (It's not even a bad name! I just never wanted it for my child. Maybe because of negative connotations, but I don't think that's all of it.)

Then we agreed that I'd get to choose the middle name since he picked the first. And I said okay cool. But now DH wants to name middle name after his dad. And it's a fine name, and it works well with first name, and I still don't have any particular names I would want to choose.

But it feels weird to have essentially no role in naming our son, if we have one. I don't know, I just have weird feelings about it.

I really don't thinki could name my baby something I didn't love? Have you spoken to him about using it as a middle name? Do you think in a way it is making you not want to have a boy?? I hope you can sort it so you are both happy?

aw Minnies is a cute surname! I liked Minnie as a first name for a girl but dh said Minnie Mouse in response

Has anyone else had restless legs? I had them so bad last night, annoying!

 

[MummyToAmberx]

Hello ladies - I haven't been on here for a few weeks and seem to have missed loads.

Cncern - Do you find your a little on edge about pre-eclampsia coming back again? Like you I got pre-eclampsia with my daughter and I also got help syndrome. Are you having the ultrasound at 22 weeks to check the placenta?

 

[MishC]

Also my due date has been changed to 29th November so the latest I will deliver is 22nd November

 

[Nanninoo]

My due date has changed to the 27th not the 26th as stated in the beginning x

I'm not too worried about getting preeclempsia this time around because my doc has me on bp medicine, and it's working real well. I'm also seeing a prenantal specialist once a month in addition to my regular doc. Yes, I'm having lots of extra ultrasounds to check things out. I really hope I don't get that again. I had to be induced at 35 weeks with my son and it was the worst experience of my life. I really don't want to be induced this time, I'd rather have a section and be done with it. Are you monitoring your bp? What is help syndrome?

 

[MishC]

I was induced with my daughter and like you it was the worst experience of my life. I ended up with a 24 hour failed induction and an emergency section under general anaesthetic. I take my BP about once a week and its usually fine around 120/80 or there abouts.

HELLP syndrome is a rare condition (from what I have read) but its usually quite fatal. It stands for -
•H -- hemolysis (the breakdown of red blood cells)
•EL -- elevated liver enzymes
•LP -- low platelet count

Basically as well as getting severe pre-eclampsia my liver and kidneys inealy went into failure, I had swelling on my brain and my blood stopped clotting. Not a very good situation to be in.

Can you not choose to have a section this time round?

 

[Twinklie12]

Scary MishC! Glad you are ok and can have a planned C this time.

Front page updated for you ladies...anybody else with new edd's?


I had a midwife app today and she said my edd will go on my dating scan, which was the 24th of October I explained to her again that I didn't think this was right...this would mean I o'd 6 days earlier than I thought on cd10, but I didn't get a positive opk until cd15 and I didn't get a bfp showing up until 15dpo which would have been 21dpo going on their dates?? Hhmmmmm? as I said before I'm not really bothered unless it comes to me being overdue and they want to induce me when I don't think I'm as overdue as they think, if that makes sense?? Last time I was 41 weeks. If that happened this time they would be ready for inducing me thinking I'm 42 weeks oh well who knows what will happen? Xx

 

[Missyann]
