*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[Yo_Yo]

Spotting has stopped. Only was really for one or two bathroom trips yesterday dyer noon so hopefully it's nothing. Everything seems to indicate that type of spotting is more common with twins so hopefully it's all normal. I won't worry unless it keeps happening a lot or gets worse.

Ugh UTIs are miserable! I find cranberry juice can help a lot.

Today my big issue is gas....what the heck body! I go through these strings of burps one right after the other for awhile and my intestines are actually vocalizing their discomfort! I get those awful shooting pains that send me running to the bathroom for relief. Yuck! Gas....who knew what a pregnancy joy this would be! Lol

Glad the spotting has stopped. Its worrying when it happens
I burp all the time lately and they are big man style burps! Oh it's embarrassing!

Cntrygirl-happy 9 weeks!

Just realised I'm 11 weeks today! 29 to go!

I have a crazy craving for fresh lemons! last night i cut a fresh lemon into 4 peices and just sucked on them! and then 4 lunch again today... Just checked its safe to do so (after eating 2!) and its perfectly fine.. Phew.!

Yay to 11 and 9 weeks ladies!

My gas has been horrible as well. My poor dh, he does not believe in girls tooting, so far I have managed not to do that ( where he could hear it) in front of him. Lol. Burping is on though. Big man sized ones for me as well!

My ds was always such a good napper, he napped until kinder, and would fall asleep on the bus on the way home! Lol. I am really really hoping this next lo sleeps as well or better than my ds :
I had the craziest dream last night! My lo was born (it was a girl, but I named her with my boy name) but I was not ready for her, didn't have all of the baby stuff, but she could talk! Lol. And already had 2 teeth! Except for the day I got my bfp this is the first baby dream I'v had! Glad it was a niceish one.

I hope I get some energy soon. I feel bad, I haven't been doing too much with my 18 month old because I am so exhausted. I wish I could just lay on the couch all day every day.

It seems like my sickness is in the afternoon. As long as I eat breakfast, I feel ok until around 12-1 pm and feel sick until around dinner time. Then in the evening, I am always really hungry.

Naw its hard when you have little ones as well.
the twins and I watch a kids movie during the day together. I cant sleep during the day so this is our quiet time when I can put my feet up and not feel bad. They enjoy it. Is you lo getting into movies yet? Or is it still a bit too early?

She doesn't sit still long enough yet. She's a very active child who is happy running around all day. I'm glad she sleeps well so at least I get a break during nap time.

thats good!! Hehe you are lucky she is still sleeping. Mine both dropped their day naps so its go go all day long apart from when we have a sit down for quiet time.
occasionally one or both will fall asleep during that but it's very rare nowadays.

some kids love their day naps! My singles did but these two absolutely refuse them.

I don't know how I would manage without her naps. She loves her sleep and she's miserable if she doesn't go down for a nap by 1:30 pm at the latest. When she has a nap, I have lunch and then lay on the couch watching TV. That just so happens to be my most nauseous time of day so I am glad I can just lay down while I don't feel good.

Don't feel bad. My lo is2,and you can only do so much. It was my midwife who actually said to me, it's ok to rest while your little ones play and to not feel bad over it.

Thanks for that. I just feel so bad for not playing with her enough. We are trying to make play dates with friends a regular thing so at least she will have other kids her age to play with. Our play date group has 4-5 adults and their kids and the kids are all from 15 months to 2 years so all really close in age. 3 of us are also pregnant so it's nice to just let the kids run around and play together and get some adult talk too.

Thanks Yo_Yo ! I like to check in on my October girls and your little beans. It's good to see how you all are doing. Happy 11 weeks yo yo. I watch you tr most since my Dr. Told me my due date was Oct. 1st even though I stuck with Oct. 2nd. Crazy to think you are almost out of the 1st Tri already!

Makes me feel like I have an eternity until I'm there again. The good news is everything has been moving along smoothly and I've been able to miscarry naturally. Yesterday was one week since we found out and yesterday I passed the baby. So hoping this means my HCG will go to zero quickly so DH and I can get back to TTC. I've been doing good though. Ready to just move on.
I do enjoy keeping in touch with I ladies. My oct baby will always be in my heart. Just means I have something special coming that if this hadn't happened then I may have never known my rainbow baby. So tryingn to look at it from that perspective. I don't want to be sad about it anymore.

 

[GeralynB]

Jmandrews- glad youre doing well. Hope you get your rainbow baby very soon

 

[Loopy Laura]

Jmandrews - you are so strong, I have my fingers crossed it happens for you soon.

Happy 9 and 11 weeks to people! I'm 9 weeks myself today and just came back from my scan. It was perfect - baby was measuring 2 days ahead at 9 weeks 2 days and I could see the heart beating away! Because I had no symptoms I was so stressed this morning but I guess I'm just very lucky!!

There was another empty sac but definitely just the one baby. I guess this could mean there were two and I lost one but not really sure.

I feel so reassured and happy right now!

 

[CharlieKeys]

JM - good to see you popping in & love your positive approach

Happy 9 weeks. Glad your scan went well, it's so stressful pre the scan. I hope your feeling nice and relaxed...your baby is obviously giving you an easy time if you have no symptoms!

Yay for a great scan! Did you get a pic?

JM I share the view that without that loss this baby I have now would not be coming.

Just been dealing with husband and worn out. Stupid little things that just add up and no patience as I am so tired. Getting there I think.

Yeh it neutralises the urine so it doesn't sting when you wee. It's really helped, it's not been too bad this afternoon so hoping it's flushing out well

 

[Loopy Laura]

Thanks Geralyn! I did get a photo but can't work out how to post it on here! Can anyone help?
