*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

Great scan pic and seems like everyone is doing well.
I am feeling good and last got sick Easter night. Anxious for next week when I meet with the high risk doctor again and then the following week will get my 18 weeks scan.

One question for you ladies, I have this horrible pain in my left buttocks. I think maybe it is because I have been sleeping on that side? Anyone have before and know of good ways to help the pain? OUCH!

Is the pain inside where the hip bone is? I get that from sleeping in my sides. For me I got diagnosed with pgp (pelvic girdle pain)

Try to get a bunp pillow, or placing a normal pillow between your legs-I don't know why, but this helps me.

Hope it goes soon, as I know it hurts

Can't believe we're 16 weeks tomorrow! Got our scan date this morning! 20th may when we'll be 19+3, so only a few weeks away, so excited. Hopefully we'll find out gender that day but if not, we're having a 3d one done a few weeks later so will definitely find out then.

I never got the line down my tummy with either of my previous babies.

Sorry you've had to move your gender reveal but it'll be something nice for your mum to look forward to when while she's in hospital.

Dh brought me a cup of tea in bed this morning and while sitting there drinking it, it felt like baby was having a little party in there! It was so lovely, I can't wait until dh and the kids can feel it too

Not proper kicks but sometimes, if I lie really still, I can feel little movements

I have had a stinking headache for days though, feel really unwell too and can't get an appointment at my docs as they are fully booked

I saw earlier on pinterest that if the placenta is on the left it's a girl and if it's on the right it's a boy. I guess that would depend on if your ultrasound picture is transverse also.

Geralyn - sorry about the delay on the gender reveal hope your mom heals up well!

When I am sitting I can feel kicks and punches. A few times it feels like baby is doing the backstroke or something! LOL Nothing on the outside though!

I've felt some kicks last few days, have an anterior placenta and feel kicks top right hand side really. So presume the placenta is more to the left at the front. God knows but eeeeeeek for kicks x

Best feeling ever can't believe how far everyone is. Time is flying. enjoy it ladies.

 

[jmandrews]

Any of you have names picked out yet?

 

[Loopy Laura]

Congrats Charliekeys on team blue!!

I'm still not feeling anything but this is my first pregnancy so I guess that's why. I can't wait till I can do.

I'm not sure if I over exerted myself today or what but I was at work in a meeting (after walking up quite a steep hill for 20 mins) and suddenly I got so unbearably hot I started dripping with sweat and felt like I might faint. I put my head between my legs as I felt dizzy. Is this normal? It only lasted about 10 mins but it was awful and I almost had to lay on the floor in the middle of the meeting!

 

[Loopy Laura]

Jmandrews - I have 3 girls names but only 1 boys name!! My two sister in laws are both due in October too so am worried they will take my names as one is due before me!

 

[CharlieKeys]

Thanks ladies

I think it's between Jacob or Oliver ... Maybe Oscar I'm not sure

 

[Jcliff]

We only have a girl named picked out! Sydney!

 

[MamaMac123]

Congrats on team blue Chaliekeyes!

We have a list of names we like for boys and girls but nothing officially picked out yet. Maybe once we know genders, but may wait to decide till we see them

Having a grand debate in another mom group I'm in on Facebook about crib bumper pads. What have you all done or plan to do? Use them or not? I'm pretty much decided on not. All the evidence I'm reading about is saying they just aren't worth the risks they impose.

Congratulations CharlieKeys on your little boy!

jm, no names picked out here...we're staying so will have to think of names for both genders, but we won't decide until we meet our baby - we both think we can't decide for definite on a name before the birth in case he/she doesn't suit it, and neither of us have any family names or names with strong personal meanings that we want to use, so we'll start thinking about it a bit later on I think we'll need a names book, though...there are very very few names that I see or hear that I like enough to add to a shortlist!
