*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[hopettc3]

babyfeva: I got my results for 3+5 and they were 53. My dr told me that was a good number for early pregnancy. I'm waiting on Friday's results. You're one day ahead of me and at 73 so I would think that's a good number. Don't stress yourself out. The most important thing is that your levels are rising the way they should. I'm sure your results from Friday are right on track!

I would say 73 sounds like a good number for your dates too!

Lots of scans due this week. Very exciting!

Hey ladies been on mad clean this morning now I am knackered and my folks are coming over. Had some light headedness this am and now just had bit of spotting bright red was bit constipated sorry for tmi so was maybe to do with trying to get no.2 out??? Anyway will try and not stress and if I have anymore I probably will start to worry and try get dr appointment changed for tomorrow instead of Tue.

Anyone else had spotting?? Did get another positive this morning so that's a plus x

I had a bit of red this morning shortly after dtd. It wasn't much and it's stopped now, but I'm kind of scared to dtd again! I think being constipated can make you spot a bit, as the straining will put pressure on the cervix, which is already congested.

Being pregnant is terrifying at times...

I'm looking forward to hearing who has multiples too

im freaking out about multiples again, im a bit chubby, had frat twins already, over 30, have lots of kids already and was also breastfeeding when I got pregnant so I have good reason to panic. The ONLY thing keeping my mind at ease about having multiples again is the fact I got pregnant two days after I *think* I ovulated.
Tbh I think that's probably why im putting off my scan lol it wouldn't be too bad as I know what to expect and there's so much id do differently the second time round but I know twins are lots of work and I would pack myself the entire pregnancy lol

We knew we were taking a risk having one more and were happy to take the risk but we did discuss the what ifs a lot beforehand to make sure we were both sure hehe

Does breast feeding increase the chance of multiples? Idk if I could handle 3 under 1

@HG I have had spotting and I noticed it usually correlates with bowel movements... Or needing one, and not being able to. I think it is fairly normal but I try not to go now unless I am desperate so I won't have to sit there for very long... If you know what I mean.

 

[HGsurvivor05]

Eleflump that's the word I was looking for straining lol my head is mince meat already!!

My bowels were working better than usual until 3 days ago!! I have nothing since.

Need to slow down but got into nesting early lol cleaned house and me and dd been up loft sorting dump pile and rest into plastic containers I am a bit of a freak and loft is mental so want to build up plastic containers and fill and label them also the other month neighbours informed us they had mice!!! Scares heck out of me and the damage they do. I have never found no sign but today I found a bag of videos and inside was a plastic bag which has been shredded by mouse eeek!!! No other sign but think hubs can do the rest when he gets home!!

So we found box full of baby stuff I forgot about and dd no playing with my old polly pockets and tiny terrapins I collected from kinder eggs many moons ago.

Wigfield IKWYM lol think I will do the same!! X

 

[babyfeva]

Update! I spoke to my NP last night and she looked up my second hcg level and it went from 73 to 202! Thank god!! I will do another test on Monday just for peace of mind.

Babyfeva - great news.

How is everyone feeling today? I still don't 'feel' pregnant. Wish I did so I wouldn't worry as much.

 

[skinnysmrs]

Hey girls. Can anyone offer and help on nausea apart from Ginger. Yesterday and today have been sheer and utter hell I am green all day and cannot put a bite past my lips

6 wks today I bet this is the start of it

 

[Scottishmum2B]

Hi Skinnys.

I never really had morning sickness with my first and don't have it with this one so I'm not too much help. I have heard of people using some kind of sickness band on their wrists? I used to feel sick until I ate something.
Are you keeping water down?

 

[skinnysmrs]

Thank you Scottishmom. I am sipping water and gingerale all day. I should be drinking more, i'm trying my best. I just feel sick I am gagging but trying my best not to vomit as im afraid if I start I wont stop.

Hope we see you back here soon!!

Skinny, Suck on lemons or put them in your water. Just the smell of something sour will help. Also I find when I got MS before I would have a nasty taste and lump in my throat that I found only sparkling water would take care of the bubbles helped my tummy too.

No symptoms today yet either. Got a bunch of pink last night after DTD. In 4 other pregnancies that hasn't happened. Ive had previa before, so Im a bit scared to DTD again until after I see the doc again. I know a bit of red is normal.

It's SUPERBOWL sunday!!!! I'm from Seattle, so I am screaming for my Hawks today. On the plus side my MS hasnt kicked in yet, so I get to eat and have a good time. Just no beer lol

How is everyone else today?

 

[hopettc3]

babyfeva: I'm glad you were able to get your last results! 202 is a great number!!

skinnysmrs: Have you tried peppermint tea or even gum. That can help with nausea. Or like Scottishmum mentioned there are Sea Bands that apply pressure to acupuncture points to help with the nausea. I hope you feel better!
