*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[La Mere]

jmandrews- You got me wanting to post a "bump" pic! Though, I think mine is still mostly bloat!

Kittycat155- I can understand that. It's pretty "liberal" here in Colorado, especially where I live. There are tons of midwives, some independent and some who work for the hospital. Of course, having had my first with a midwife and a doctor to deliver her.. I felt nervous at first going on with a UP and UC for my son but as I progressed my confidence grew and I feel awed to be able to do it again. Hopefully this time both my LO's will sleep through it, don't know how I would manage labor if they were both awake. (DD was asleep my whole labor with DS. It was a much shorter labor as well so that helped.)

All these bump pics are just too cute! I'd post a pic up of mine but there's nothing there, just some chub.

Bug I am so sorry to hear about your loss, thinking of you and your familyx

JM that is some bump/baby bloat wow, so cute

I have been very bloated today went from uk 12 and bought 14 at the weekend and they have been fine but after a day of wearing them today i felt so relieved to whip them off. My belly was huge now in my joggers. Had some pulls and twinges today too and when I bent over to tie my boots already feels my belly getting in the way and pressure pushing up to my ribs if that makes sense?

I am still sooooo tired felt blah this morning and had half dry pancake then seems to hit lunch time, usually only work mornings but was in till 5 today so was bit of a stuggle but came ok after munching some chewits

I am planning to do home birth in a oops waited to long to go to hospital if medical stays ok. I worry about my sugar but nothing I can do now to change it. Time will tell. If nothing else I got a hospital that is 22% c section picked out(most here are 40-45 or higher!)

Whigfield-same boat here I'll post bump in 8th month

I have to agree with GingerPanda let every woman approach their pregnancy how they want to and what ever gives them peace of mind. In my case I'm glad I get an early ultrasound it will put my mind at ease some after having a MC last April.

 

[CharlieKeys]

I got a bump too considering we live with MIL and are trying to hide it until we move ... I think she'll figure it out soon lol. Especially as all I'm eating is cheese on toast.

 

[GingerPanda]

Holy hormones, Batman! I was just watching Netflix. There was a lady talking about her cat who had just passed away, and I just lost it.

Jeeze!

 

[Yo_Yo]

Aww ginger panda bless you! These hormones are a pain!

Had US today, heard and saw HB 118bpm. Thought I was 6w4d but measuring more like 6 weeks.. Is this okay???

 

[whigfield]

Yay jcliff! It's perfectly okay! At this stage it's very hard to get accurate measurements of such a small bean so they can easily mark you down up to a week out.

Wow this has been a busy thread! To jump in on the conversation on gender prediction I only did the chinese one on Countdown To Pregnancy and it said boy. Though I have a gut feeling of girl. I also have a gut feeling that it could be twins, kind of hoping it's not though.

How have all of you been feeling?

I've been feeling not so bad lately though I feel quite yucky in the mornings until about 1pm. My chest is still sore and my lower back is still sore. I notice some days I want to eat everything in sight and then for a few days I don't want to eat anything.

I went into the clinic Monday to go get checked out and come to find out I will have to travel to my family doctor as no one at the office close to me is qualified for prenatal. Ugh. So I go for bloodwork next week and go see my doctor on February 25th. I am hoping we can hear the baby's heartbeat by then. I am also hoping that she will send me for a scan too so I can see that everything is ok.

I'm wanting a whoops it came too quick hb too we have a hb team at the hospital but after everything going wrong and unnecessary transfer last time I know I'd do better with my chosen support, listening to my baby, body and instincts. Then just call them out to check us over ;-)

 

[GingerPanda]

Jcliff, yay for HB! I'm measuring 2 days behind, but when I look at my chart, I O'd on CD16 instead of CD14. I think you'll be fine. A heartbeat is a great sign!

 

[Kittycat155]

I KNOW I am the type who could handle it and the more peace I have the faster it will go. I just hate the homebirth? You will kill the baby. My sister is on board and can sleep over. I think she will be great cause she has a great sense of humor and until it gets to end I can laugh away some of tension. She also is not to easily grossed out My husband on the other hand...

Getting a lot of feeling in belly. Not sure how to describe it-not pain or anything alarming but odd.

 

[kel21]

Yay for a heartbeat jcliff! That is great

 

[jmandrews]

Yay Jcliff that's great!!!! So glad you got to see the HB post pic if u can!

 

[La Mere]

Jcliff- Yay for seeing the HB!!

Kittycat155- When you say "HB", were you talking about a heartbeat or a home birth? Just curious, lol.

Also, here are my "bump" pics! Sorry bout the dirty mirror!

 

[Kittycat155]

Lol I just reread that and was like nope that looks wrong. Home birth. My Mom is funny cause she had a hard labor with brother who was pretty sick and then with me she left and was really really close but dr was not around so they gave her epidural to try and stall her! There is logic. A hospital full of Drs and nurses skilled yet they wanted to wait for one Dr. No wonder I am impatient in life. Oddly enough I only found out about this few months ago!

 

[La Mere]

Oh, okay... It confused me because you said "you will kill the baby" afterwards..

 

[Kittycat155]

Yeah I am out of it more then I realized. LOL. I like to watch the news and my brain was fried cause ALL the news is today is....

City almost out of salt
this store has salt that store does not
what to use instead of salt

I was like this is all they could do?

I ended up wanting salty fries-and made them.
