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

[Princesskell]

Gosh...isn't it different in the uk. Here the expense of a baby doesn't start until they're born!

I'm waiting for the post this morning....I want my scan date!!

Is anybody else having crazy dreams? Mine are so vivid it's like I'm not even going to sleep! I'm sure I'm talking in my sleep too, dh hasn't said yet!
I want to tell my parents this weekend, going to try and persuade dh. He wants to tell mine near when he tells his and we are not going to visit his until 4th of April. That's only 2 weeks away...not too long right??

I've got a horrid cold and it hurts so much when I cough, sneeze or blow my nose!

Everybody else ok today? Xxx

Yes i had jaffa cake phone other night :/ lol!
You had any baby dreams?

I had my first last night, going write details down im not sure if its bit earlier to go off gender from dream.
I dreamt it was a girl i was 38 weeks gone.
i dont think 14 days is long apart x

I've not weighed myself yet mummytoamber, but I know I'm going to be bigger this time
They shouldn't look down on you because of your weight? They should only offer support so you and baby are the healthiest you can be?
We have big babies in my family but I had a small bump last time, the midwife bet she would be no more than 7lb but I knew she would be bigger...she was 9lb in the end, they know nothing!!
Do you excersise? I found yoga helped when I got pgp last time? Hope you can avoid it this time xxx

Are you going to keep track of it? Or just check whenever?
You'd think that, but all it was ever about was my weight and just making you feel bad. I know bmi means nothing, it doesnt define a person and doesnt show you strength that one has. I havent since Jan, but i would normally walk 6 miles a day to do school run but im skipping that at the moment as walking causes motion sickness with me.
I can just hope they wont refuse me a homebirth because of my bmi.

Couldnt agree more they no nothing, if anything they cause stress that we just dont need. Did you have straight forward birth? x

I haven't had any baby dreams yet. Last time I dreamt I ave birth to a monkey!! !!!
Did you have a home birth before?
I had a very straightforward hospital birth. I was certain I wanted an epidural and got it pretty much straight away so it was lovely. I would love to try a water birth next time though...if I have the guts?! Xxx

Hi ladies,
I would like to join this journey with you....my scan is on Monday...my progesterone dipped a little so I am little gaurded. Although this baby was conceived naturally, my first was with Clomid....so you can guess how surprised I was to be pregnant the first month of trying!

Happy Healthy pregnancies to all!

Welcome and congratulations paradise!!
I hope the scan can reassure you that you have a healthy little bean growing in there. I will add you to the front page xxx

Oh gosh I'm really so sorry sportysgirl. I hope you have a good support network around you to help you through xxx

 

[Princesskell]

Laura are you putting it on your birth plan? I don't know if in reality I'd cope with the pain??

a monkey ahaha good one!
No i havent i did with last baby but lived in rented house it didnt feel right. Had 2 hospital births both completely straight forward and in and out same day. To be honest after my second i felt amazing like i hadnt even had a baby this was when i weighed more (another point weight doesnt always come on to it)

Im after home water birth without g&a all it does is make me throw up x

34 or 36wk appt i did with my first.
second i didnt bother as was never looked over first time and just went with the flow.

 

[Leinzlove]

Thanks Lovely's! Yeah... It's definitely a challenge. I will just stay off of it and ground floor as much as I can. I still have to take care of my babies. I've been walking on it for 10 days. The Emergency Room said it was a sprain, called back said they found a fracture reviewing my X-rays.

My birth plan hasn't changed. Just do whatever it takes to get baby and I through safely. As for the epidural. I haven't had one yet and have gone in with the attitude if I need one, have it.

 

[DragonflyWing]

I'm also worried about my weight this pregnancy. I only gained 27 lbs with the twins, and lost it all immediately...but the stress over the past year has led to me gaining over 35 lbs! Now I am heavier than I was at 8 months pregnant with twins

I am hoping to gain little or nothing during this pregnancy. I had just joined Weight Watchers when I found out I was pregnant. I don't think I can continue with it now, but I can still watch what I eat.

 

[Leinzlove]

I ordered FitMama Prenatal workout DVD. It has a work out for each trimester... So far so good, but with my broken foot, I leave out some of the moves and re do the ones I can.

I hear you, I also don't want to gain anything.

 

[Twinklie12]

My hcg came back and want from 62 to 162 in two days, yay!!!!!!!

My progesterone went down 20.6 to 16.5. Has me alittle worried, but it could just be fluctations from the first test being in the morning and second one early afternoon. :/

 

[DocMcStuffins]

I had my scan today! It went great. We saw a little blob of a baby and a lovely flickering heartbeat. Everything was as it should be and it measured spot on my dates on 7+3!

Looking forward to the next scan at 12 weeks now!

Congratulations!! We have the same due date!

How are you feeling?

Hi Laura,
Feeling tired, but other than that nothing else. Even with my first I had very little symptoms. How about you?
