*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

Had our private gender scan yesterday at 16+1. After two boys already, we found out we are team....... blue! Another little man. Good news is I kept everything from first two, so other than diapers, wipes, and the like- won't be needing much! Have to admit I was a little disappointed (don't think this makes me a bad person), but am really thrilled that he looked perfectly healthy. Now, just to choose a name (we have lots of boys in our family, church, and community). Wish me luck with all this testosterone to deal with!

Ugh I just typed out a long reply and my tablet erased it all!

Baby3onboard it does not make you a bad person to feel disappointed! I'm glad all looked well!

Jcliff I never took unisom, but I do still take benadryl to help me sleep a fair amount!

I got my new exercise dvd in today! I can't wait to try it Now to stay motivated to keep doing it! I am not exhausted anymore, but I am still tired and lazy. I find it harx to get up off the couch and do housework! Here is a pic of the video incase anyone else is looking for one. The reviews were really good on this one.

The exhaustion has been worse the last few days. It would be nice if I could have some energy, even just a little bit. We've been stuck in the house all week due to bad weather, that doesn't help with being so tired.

Baby3onboard no I would definitely say that does not make you a bad person at all, just means you're going to have fun when it comes to the teenage years

Had my 16wk midwife appointment today and she said everything looks great, all my tests came back negative for everything and my NT scan result was 1:9081
She felt my stomach and said my uterus is at my belly button already but nothing to be concerned about, then I got to listen to my little lovebug's heartbeat Took her a while as baby kept kicking the Doppler and wriggling away but she found him/her in the end, a healthy heartbeat around 140bpm

Hope everyone's day is going well

Have you tried it yet? I have another of those pilates DVD's that's not prenatal and I did it once and never again. It was WAY too tough! And, I think it was a beginners one.

Anyone had a baby with the heart in the 170's and it turned out to be a boy. Just trying to determine if the heart rate old wives tale is true or false.

When I went to the doctor the other day when she told me the heartbeat, she made sure to say that the old wives tale is just that, and that it really has no correlation to gender.

But, hey she could have been saying that so I don't harass her with information regarding it!

I bought a prenatal yoga dvd I need to try. I am having a hard time though because it's an hour long! ANd when I do get the energy I have so many other things to do that I don't even think of yoga! I also have a gym membership that started back up this month, but again, the energy thing! I must prioritize!

Yesterday I cleaned my kitchen and living room, went grocery shopping, and baked banana bread!

Hi all just thought I'd pop in from November mummies.

Baby was wriggling around and everything today . All looks okay, so excited for 12 week scan now!!! Was measuring 11+5 even though I’m 11+1, so we’ll see what they say at the dating scan regarding my due date, if I am 4 days ahead my due date will be 31st October.

She gave us NINE pictures!!! Just wanted to share them everywhere really *guilty face* So yeah I might be joining you next Thursday if my date gets moved.

Kazine-whoa! How many pics?! That's great!!

They are all great pics too

Aww I see baby waving! Is that a potty shot? Looks like a girl

Congrats on a little boy!

The three brothers will be great friends growing up

It's true for me. Baby is always between 130-150

But I never knew heart rate of the girls, so who knows!

I just felt my very first kick little one has got some strong arms and legs x

Not yet, I'll update when I do

Yay vickyandchick for first kick!

Congrats kazine! Nice picks!

Cntrygrl the heart rate for mine used to be between 158 to 178, and now when I check it has been as low as 126 to 145. I am hoping that doesn't mean something is wrong!

Countrygirl - my daughter who i stayed team yellow with always had a fast rate, I was convinced she was a boy but my midwife said in her experience she usually had a pretty good guess of babies genders by listening in and she said she thought mine was a girl. I thought she was wrong and she just said "we will see" shes been a midwife for years, like 30 years or something crazy and she was right.

However a lot have said its been wrong for them too so I dunno.

with my twins one was fast one was slow, the slow one being my boys.

At my appointment mine was at 130 so with everything else im leaning towards boy for us.

We will see! It will be interesting to find out how much truth there is in it

Ive started vomiting every morning
im fine all other times its only in the morning when I cook my omelette.
if any white or yolk touches my skin I start heaving immediately.

Sorry I've been away for a while - congrats on loads of great scan pics! I've been really busy at work and it's been non stop!

I got my pregnancy pillow yesterday and I couldn't sleep at all! I started off fairly comfortable but then wanted to turn over onto my right side and got all tangled up! I know I'm going to have to train myself to only sleep on my left side but it's difficult as I think I'm generally a bit of a wriggly sleeper! I'm so tired though and not sure if it's work stress or the pillow but I need some sleep!

Otherwise I think all good here. I haven't seen my baby's heart rate or even heard it yet - the nurse doing the scan told me they don't measure heart rate. I was a bit disappointed! Hoping to hear the heartbeat for the first time at my next midwife appointment on 2nd may.

It's really exciting people are starting to feel kicks and find out genders!

My daughter was always high like 170s. This baby is 150-160s.. Still high!

 

[CharmedKirsty]

I looked through my old pregnancy journal and my DSs was heart rate 164.
