*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

I don't know how you couldnt tell your parents yet! Thats the first thing I did after I told my husband, and now my parents, grandparents, aunt, brother... haha well everybody knows.


So question.. well more of a concern.
I ate my lunch today (buffalo chicken quesadilla- homemade) and it literally went straaight through me. I barely finished my last bite and I was sitting on the toilet.

Anywaays, I thought it was the hot sauce, so I decided something mellow for dinner- tomato soup, and again, same thing happened.

I'm trying to stay hydrated, but it's really irritating and I'm hoping it doesnt continue! Any tips? I'm nervous if my food is going right through me before I get any nutrition or anything from it. It's also making me completely exhausted.

I had a sharp pinching pain in my abdomen yesterday and I was getting all kinda thoughts like is this ectopic? am I aborting etc etc... So I called in and went for a scan immediately.

I saw my precious 3mm baby sac sitting right there with no qualms. It was lovely! Doc told me that everything was alright and that the pain might have been the bowel movements. And thatz how my first scan was to be! Eeeekkk!!

I'm asked to come back on the 20th for the heartbeat scan... yay!!

And all those without symptoms... no worries! Symptoms got nothing to do with "how pregnant you are". Don't miss them too much... they might just decide to visit you anytime.

It is very hard. I don't want to tell anyone until at least after my first ultrasound and I'm sure everything will stick!

I thought about waiting but I figured the people that I am telling, I would need their support if bean doesn't stick, so I am okay with it
Plus I can't keep a secret for the life of me!

Good for you for keeping it quiet and not telling myself. I told my mom first, then a close friend, then I just couldn't keep my mouth shut. I held off telling my step-MIL till yesterday because I know how she can be. I told her we're having a baby and it took her 3 full minutes to actually say congratulations! She kind of hmmm'd and haaah'd. Then tried to tell me she was going to tell us to have a baby now if we wanted a third. I know she doesn't like children because she has told us. She also told my BIL's wife to stop having kids after they had #2. She would never say that to me because I would tell her exactly what I think. Anyways, I was pretty annoyed with her. At least DH supports me and knows what she's like.

I haven't told my parents yet either, or dh's parents. I literally only told dh cause he was kind of expecting it lol my coworker, my BFF and my sil and I only told them bc I know they won't blab. I haven't even told my own sister yet, shell totally tell everyone and were not ready for that yet. I'm still debating if I want to wait until 12 weeks, 10 weeks or just get it over with at 8 weeks?

Welcome AK89 and mrs sunflower! first page all updated.

Has anyone else's abdomen felt like ur muscles are sore or like and tightening sensation as if u have been doing crunches? Mine feels that way and it's so uncomfortable. I had it with DD but not this early on.

I havnt told my mum yet for a few reasons, she is good friends with the mil (they were best friends when we were kids) and she will tell her when shes visiting here and the longer till the mil knows the better! When my mums goes back to oz theres less of a chance of her telling the mil.
honestly if the mil and nana in law know I will go crazy they are very in your face pushy people and I told hubby we arent telling them till at least 12 weeks. He agreed cos he knows what they are like.
thinking about telling mum on her last night here maybe that might be nice cos my nana will be here too.

the other reason I dont want to broadcast another loss if that happened as last time people were really insensitive about it. Again mainly the inlaws.

I also want to get a scan and make sure there is just one.
Is hard keeping it a secret though. Apart from people at hubbys work only a few others know.

newlywed,
I've been going through the same issue. I put a thread together for this exact problem. The only thing I can say is to stay hydrated.

 

[mommyof2peas]

Anyone totally convinced you know what gender your going to have? I just have it in my head that we are going to have a girl, and I love the name we have picked out. I may be a little sad if it turns out to be a boy, But of course Ill get over it really fast and love him just the same lol

I cant wait for 16-20 weeks!

Edit: I need journal stalkers! If you get bored I would be happy to have ya lol

I told my parents but they've known everything every step of the way so far and are very supportive, and were when we lost each baby as well. I remember them coming up to see us the day after with this massive boquet of flowers, white lilies and such... My mom is even considering coming to our 8w+1d scan next Monday!

Unfortunately, OH told his mom (but not his dad - they're divorced), and I'm just really mad about it. I really don't like his family and don't get on very well with them. I've already had his mom and her boyfriend tell me, "keep it to yourself this time", "keep it off of facebook" (we announced on facebook last time at 8 weeks after being reassured by sonographers and my GP that the risk of natural miscarriage (unrelated to the SCH) was very similar at 8 weeks to 12 weeks -- however due to the condition I had, we could have lost the baby at ANY stage in the pregnancy, not just the first trimester so another thing for it was that I wanted to celebrate the time we had with baby). It makes me so mad. When we lost the baby last time, the first thing his mom said was "OH you'll have to tell everyone now!" I nearly killed her. I was never ashamed to have to announce the death of my baby, just devastated. It's likely after 5 good scans and listening to the heartbeat daily I would have put something on about it on facebook after we lost LO anyway. And why not? I can do what I damn well like. If people feel 'uncomfortable' that my baby died then they know where the door is in my life!

So now I feel like I can't tell anyone (on her side) about the baby because if we lose it, she'll be filled with "embarrassment" again. I have no intention anyway and will leave it entirely up to OH if and when he decides to tell people. I feel like that whole side of his family (including his dad) have absolutely no right to this baby at all, and I'm still mad at OH for telling her.

We'll probably be finding out the gender, but after the way she treats us, I've decided we'll keep that from her. Wouldn't want her to be filled with shame incase the sonographer was wrong.

Kind of like Brixton hicks? I'm getting odd Brixton hicks like a muscle pulled feelings in belly very now and again.



Hope your doing ok-can't keep up with this group as its so fast moving now!

i am sooooo convinced that were going to have a little princess!! but i think its because I REALLY wont one that I'm so convinced, if you know what i mean...

We are 6 sisters, no brothers... my 2 older sisters have children, all boys no girls! so its a race to see who has the first girl...! really hoping its me.

To be honest, i dont want to find out, i would love for it to be a surprise but DH, my mom and MIL really want to know - we havent dicided for sure yet if we will or not though.
