*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[Hairsky]

Due Oct 5th... This is our first pregnancy and we are super excited but I'm really scared as well. It's so early in the game, that I just want everything to go off without a hitch. I'm being optimistic and my DH is just the best. He's taken over everything from cleaning, cooking, and just about everything that needs to be done. I have been experiencing super sore breasts and just started noticing them change colors. I'm also experiencing some mild cramps, but no bleeding thank goodness. Anybody else experiencing mild/slight headaches throughout the day? I can't seem to shake them because there is no way any medication is entering this body. Have only slight nausea after I eat, but I hear that doesn't increase until the 2nd and 3rd month. Honestly, I slightly want all of the pregnancy signs just so I can feel the pregnancy is going according to plan, especially since I'm not seeing my doctor until 2/20!!! I hate the waiting game. Congratulations to everyone else here! DH and I have been trying for a little over a year now, so we are pretty ecstatic.

Hi ladies .. how are we all feeling today?

I hate night times as this is when my cramps really step up a notch - feels like labour all over again and today the exhaustion has kicked in ... not very helpful with 3 toddlers

Welcome and congrats staceymxxx and hairsky!!! Yay for more October babies

So I had my dr appt a little bit ago. They didnt do much. Just met with the nurse practitioner . She asked a bunch of questions and answered ours. They took blood and did a urine test. Not sure if I'll hear anything from that or not. The NP calculated my due date to be oct 1st but she just used one of those hand charts. I'm sticking with the 2nd since that's what my ticker and the internet says it is.
I go back March 11th at 10 weeks+ 5 for my US. I can't wait seems forever away. I just want to see my little bean so I know everything is ok.

I know the feeling! My first apt isn't until the 27th of feb. But Ill be 8 weeks. the doc has mini US in the office so Ill be able to at least see bub and get a HB.

 

[jmandrews]

Aw yay I can't wait to hear about it! Hopefully time flies!

I have horrible round ligament pain. Especially if I cough sneeze or move too quick.
I notice that my cramping is worse if I haven't had a lot to drink. Anyone else notice that?

 

[kel21]

Cramps cramps and more cramps! Holy cow. They have been bad today. Some days I just get the slight every once in awhile cramps, and days like today are more often then not.

 

[bundlesofjoy]

Not sure will know for definite on the 12th but two embryos were put back

 

[HGsurvivor05]

so glad I am not the only one with cramps, I can not remember these with DD. Although yesterday felt light headed and dizzy today just cramps, pinches and plenty EWCM! It is such a strange feeling as I had no symptoms what so ever up until couple of days ago and they weren't real tell tale signs of pregnancy.

So is everyone feeling ok??

 

[zephyr]

I'm feeling alright today. No nausea. Cramps still though and tired.
Still havnt got round to phoning a midwife not sure when to do it tbh, quite happy to wait a bit first so im not counting down a long wait for an appointment. Might start phoning round end of next week.

I was scared about cramps the first time because they felt a lot like menstrual cramps. I'm feeling a bit better now having them knowing others are experiencing it too and that it is completely normal. I feel I am questioning everything, because this is my first.

My first appointment is Feb 20th, and I should be around the 8 week mark. I'm hoping I'm able to see something as well. I do not like this waiting game and as much as I'm trying to enjoy every minute of it because I've been told time will fly. I just wish at this time, time would fly so I can stop being a nervous wreck and I can finally get myself into a routine and stop worrying about everything.

Good luck!

Just got my first ultrasound appt! February 14th. Can't think of a better valentines day present!

It's so frustrating I called my docs office to find out my hcg numbers and they said that they couldn't find them and would call me in the morning, the reason I go early is so I don't have to wait all night

 

[kel21]

So sorry grich! That is so frustrating

 

[StarBrites]

Sorry grich

I went in today for my HCG levels too. I won't get them back until tomorrow. I've had some bouts of MS today. I have not been sleeping well at all. It's been quite frustrating! I got the okay to take some benadryl to help me fall asleep but I'm trying not to take anything unless I absolutely need to, so I haven't taken any since the first week I found out I was pregnant. As for sleeping positions, I just sleep in whatever position is comfortable, which is about all of them throughout the night. The things we go through for our little ones We are pretty much super heroes, I think!

Is anyone else getting lower backache? Ive had this off and on over the past week and I dont recall getting it with previous pregnancies and I dont remember if I had it with my mc.
I dont know if its a bad sign or if im over doing it or if its normal. I am really busy during the day chasing toddlers and keeping house but I never suffered from lower backache prior to getting pregnant so I dont know.

Yes me too!!! I don't remember it this early with DD. I think it's from being active and chasing toddlers. It is horrible though
My sciatic nerve and round ligaments have been super sore today.
I feel so whiny today haha

 

[zephyr]

Aww that makes me feel a bit better that its not just me! Some days its fine but others its a pain. I suppose it probably is cos we are busy but new pains always freak me out im having a sit down and rest before dh goes to work then its all on haha.

 

[jmandrews]

I know I don't think our minds will be put at ease until we see out little babes. I just think it's a good sign to be feeling something.
