*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[Hairsky]

Is anybody else SUPER bloated? It was like this last time for me too. By six weeks I had to wear maternity clothes, because I was too bloated to button my jeans!

I'm calling my bloat, my bloat baby.... I'm having trouble buttoning up some pants and have resorted to my more stretchier ones. I just keep telling myself, my body is extra preparing me for the months to come.

Here's my 6 week bloat!

 

[zephyr]

I dont feel very bloated but I have gained a lot of weight this past few weeks And I know it's all from my eating!!

Has anyone had cravings? I been craving raw onions. Same as my last pregnancy. Together with cheese. I've gone through so much cheese. Oh yeah and nutella. Oops I really gotta stop eating that.

oranges is latest craving. Sick at thought of soda and I LOVE soda(well now it is caffeine free).

I had the opposite I was constipated at first and it was making the bloat soo bad but I took a laxative and now I'm more regular the bloat isn't completely away tho I'm down to only fitting one pair of jeans ...so lucky I work from home. I'll be in maternity cloths in no time at all but it certainly doesn't help that I'm heavy to begin with. The nausea wasn't too bad so far but today was bad so I can see it coming already. I'll need to buy some crackers lol my nipples are soooo sore they are hard non stop. I'm surprisingly energetic the last 3 weeks i was expecting to be tired all the time dh says that I'm out like a light when I do go to sleep which is unusual but that's probably helping me in the long run as I usually lay in bed for a good 30 mins before I can fall asleep

I'm very bloated. Can't suck anything in anymore haha. I'm a nanny so I just wear yoga pants everyday so thankfully those should last through delivery lol

 

[jmandrews]

Jmandrews - I am so impressed you can keep up to date with this group, I can't it moves too fast !

Plex sorry to hear about your loss x

Congratulations on all the new BFP, digi 3+ and scans sounds like everyone is doing well. 6 weeks tomorrow for me and early scan on Monday - can't decide if I am excited or terrified! At my last 6 week scan I burst into tears because it was the first time we had a pregnancy in my uterus and with a heart beat, it was such a massive relief! Now we have a gorgeous 2 year old! Hopefully I will be a bit more calm and composed at my scan this time.

Hello to all the Scottish ladies - I am a scot too but in exile 'down South' although Northumberland is nearly Scotland really!

Haha thanks! I have to read carefully

Aw yay that's so exciting I can't wait to hear about ur scan!

 

[jmandrews]

I haven't been very bloated the last couple days. Lol this morning I thought wow I look skinny today. Haha I've actually lost weight this last month. Super weird. I'm back to my pre pregnancy weight with my DD. I was craving queso but now I haven't been wanting much food. The thought of it makes me nauseas.

 

[eme]

I've been craving buttered bread and buttered toast. It's kind of out of control. As well as Wendy's chicken sandwiches ahahah I don't hardly EVER eat fast food but the other day I was driving past and I almost drooled on myself over the thought of one so I turned around and got one......it was heaven! LoL Had another today.....I gotta stop driving past Wendy's!

My last pregnancy I went insane with checkers hot dogs. Well there is only one Checkers close enough to go to so I was going in am getting 3 and sending husband at night for more...I was so embarrassed ans happy when that craving went away!

 

[hopettc3]

I haven't had any cravings yet, but I'm totally off sweets! Just the thought of them makes me queasy. I've already had nausea on and off all day so I'll definitely be staying away from those nasty chocolates!

 

[GingerPanda]

Having some cramping and red bleeding. Going in to the doctor tomorrow for an emergency scan.

Oh no Gingerpanda I hope everything is ok. Thinking of you.

 

[Jcliff]

Oh no. Hope all is well!

Is anyone else on progesterone?

 

[hopettc3]

I hope all is well, Gingerpanda. Please keep us updated.

 

[grich2011]

Jcliff I am I had to be on it when I was pregnant with my daughter in the beginning. Were you on It for your first?

 

[mommyberry]

Gingerpanda - please be well! I hope it is nothing and the baby is alright.

JCliff - For progesterone, I'm on Crinone Gel vaginal suppositories. Doc asked me to continue them until around 12 weeks.

AFM, I have a new concern. I got to know about my pregnancy on 4th (14DPO) through Beta which was 84.83. Today is 17DPO and just for the heck of seeing the double lines I poased and got a very very very faint line I was expecting a good dark line and this is what I get! I'm now worried if the beta is not doubling like it should? Doc said there is no need for another beta for me... but looks like I'll go for one anyways.

I really had to tweak the pictures to be able to see even that.This is disappointing!

Maybe you should get a second beta??

Yes I was on it with my daughter, but I'm feeling like this pregnancy not going well. Not feeling as pregnant as before, and I think my levels have stopped rising, or slowly rising. I just want to make sure the progesterone doesn't prolong the obvious. I'm on oral 200mg twice a day. I have my us Wednesday so well see. This limbo is the WORST

 

[Shylin]

hello ladies. i dont have my first appointment until the 21st and thats for blood work. i get my first ultra sound on the 7th and i will get to see my doctor after the ultra sound. it takes so long to get in i guess depending on your doctors office. i have had like literally no cravings no sickness no nausea. only symptoms i have even had is sore nipples, and being super tired. everyone keeps asking me have you had morning sickness yet? im like um no... i feel great. but i know its only a matter of time.. the nurse at our wic office estimated that i am due on Oct 4th. that puts me at 5 weeks and 5 days. how are you ladies feeling?

My doctor has me on it vaginally because that way more of it is absorbed and not just secreted in your urine. I haven't had any major symptoms yet and I never did with my daughter lets just hope your baby is being nice to you
