*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[Kittycat155]

Got first appointment. 2/19. They said it can take up to 3 hours and I will meet with numerous people. Oh fun. Is that normal for USA first appointment in with no known issues? Will be glad to get ball rolling and sure as it progresses into a bump/feeling kicks it will be more feeling like I need to be going. Right now I have one concern-is there a garbage can in there or BYO bag

Welcome to all the new ladies!! I love how many women we have in our group!

I'm feeling ok still. Still nauseous off and on throughout the day, but not bad enough that I've actually thrown up. My boobs kill!! My nipples are super sore too! I really don't remember them being this bad the first two times.
Anyone else getting sharp pains when they sneeze? I know its just normal round ligament pain, but geez it hurts! I sometimes have to hold my abdomen for a few seconds before it goes away. This happened with my previous pregnancies, but I've been totally stuffed up lately so I'm sneezing more often.

I'm counting down to my scan next monday so one more week!! So excited!!

Hey guys!

Not sure if I joined this thread.. I'm due 4th October!


I just stupidly started reading up on MMCs 'cause I feel like I barely feel pregnant anymore and am 6+2 and have had no MS yet.. Have freaked myself out a bit! But saying that my boobs are sore, I'm super tired and hungry and I've got heartburn...so s'pose there are symptoms after all! I just think my symptoms have lessened recently.. I've not been getting dizzy at all for the past few days which was a major issue for me up until then and the most noticeable missing symptom! And for the most part when I'm at work and busy, I often just completely forget that I'm pregnant! I know there are lots of cases of women just not having many symptoms while pregnant so I should just stop being silly and worrying myself but I can't help it

Is POAS a good way of checking that everything's going alright in there...?? If you have a MMC I presume your line would get fainter..?

This morning I brought some sea bands. Havnt really tried them long enough to know if they are working or not though yet.
I also brought blackmores morning sickness formula which is vit b6 and ginger. Will be taking that soon so hope it works. Im so sick
And tired.

Yesterday I took my middle daughter to her first highland dance class. Shes done ballet and jazz for 5 years (since she was 3) so this is a bit of a change for her and she really loves it. Was lots of fun.

Kittycat, 3 hours seems long but I have no clue. We met with our maternal fetal dr already for a preconception appt and that did take about an hour but we didnt need to meet anyone else just him...who else is there to meet ? Lol sorry if I'm being naive I guess I don't know. When we go to our re the us usually only takes max 20 minutes as they rarely make us wait long.

Ak, try not to worry so much about symptoms each person is different. My symptoms at this point seem very minimal which I am glad about and I often don't "feel" pregnant either but I wouldn't jump to mmc right away. Just be sure your taking care of yourself. I wouldn't be testing at this point at all tests are different and contain more or less dye and you could be just causing yourself more stress. When is your first scan?

 

[ljo1984]

I've had two mmc and the reason there "missed" (as such) is because your body still continues to produce hormones, placenta still carries on etc. with both mine I still had bfp's for weeks after actually MC. but honestly not everyone gets sickness do don't think the worse. It is very common but both my SIL's didn't have any ms or nausea with their kids, I have with all mine yet my mum never. Suppose it depends how sensitive to hcg you are maybe. I'm sure you have a healthy and happy bean in there. Xx

AK, if it makes you feel any better (which it probably wont, because I still worry too) with my son, I didn't have any symptoms. Now with this second one none either. I'm always thinking the worst everyday but we have to try our best to stay positive and happy.

I live in an area known not to comply with prenatals and they go all out trying to prevent issues. I just hope I get a low key experience as I do not want to be grouped with these women and have to have longer exams/more involvement cause of the statistics.
Looks like a nurse, social worker and nutritionist will be there. Though I do see on intake are you considering abortion? Was this planned? so maybe it is more a crisis/normal care in one center. They are really close by and heard good things in general online but no one I personally can ask about experience.

Oh goodness holy emotions! Im at my parents for dinner as they watch my dogs during the day so I just stay for dinner. My mom made a deal out of a joke I made and I had to leave the room so I wouldn't cry. Gonna be a long 8 months.

 

[Kittycat155]

If it helps...

I told my husband to take the stick out of his ass or I would give him enough xanax to knock him out weeks at a time...lmao He is a little boy often and taking him into medical offices can sometimes end with hun put that down! or "What is this"? and me saying I will tell you later.

 

[zephyr]

Kylasbaby haha im like that too! Yesterday at my daughters dance class I kept tearing up watching the dances and when another twin parent introduced themselves I got teary eyed seeing their twins all grown up (they were 11) They must of thought I was nuts since id never met them before haha

as for the morning sickness stuff I got earlier so far so good! I was actually able to eat food without feeling like I didn't want it gosh I hope this actually works.

I cried yesterday because I spilled my husbands root beer.

Hi everyone! I'd like to join - I'm due 10/22!

 

[CharlieKeys]

I can't remember who said about worrying about no morning sickness (sorry! )

If it helps I didn't have morning sickness with my last three pregnancies, and nothing really this time yet either (I feel ill if I don't eat as soon as I get up - then am fine). No MS isn't a sign something is wrong ... Just enjoy not feeling sick.

 

[sprite30]

Omg my husband is the same way kittycat, so annoying. I'm going to have two children lol

Oh a nutritionist would be wonderful I don't think they have that in our area. Think they would just refer me to the hospital weight center which would kind of be silly to go to while pregnant.

Aww Kyla, it'll be ok . A good cry never hurt anyone

Welcome to the group mrs sunflower. When I saw 10/22 I thought wow were on 10/22 due dates and then I looked at my ticker and saw 19 days I found out I'm pregnant and thought holy crap it's been 19 days already lol

 

[Kittycat155]

He get worse in times of stress? I was euthanizing a cat and waiting for iv placement and husband starts looking at displays they have for the vet to show you stuff and I was like put that down....Put that down!!!! He picked up the display for the hip displasia and something fell out.

Yeah nutrionist sounds cool just not at 8 weeks! I was in line today and a Mom gave her kids some chewy fruit snack and it just progressed to outright bad smell. Started as just strawberry.

I feel the same way at all the new ones and feels like it was not long ago I was 3w and some days and now I am nearly month past! But why does due date feel SO far away!

 

[kel21]

I started to cry the other day in Walmart when I got in line to check out and the cashier told me she was closed! Lol

 

[KylasBaby]

Aww Kyla, it'll be ok . A good cry never hurt anyone

Haha thanks. I'm a very emotional person as well so I suppose that doesn't help. I just not telling my parents for another few weeks until I'm sure I have a sticky little sea monkey so I couldn't let them see me cry or they'd know something was up.
