*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[rbourre]

Hey everyone. I just found out yesterday that I am pregnant, due October 19. This is baby #2 for us and a bit scary since our daughter was born at 29 weeks.

congrats! 29 weeks - wow - that must have been hard. do they know if you just need a stitch this time around or something like that? hope you make it to full term this time around.

I had placental abruption and pre-eclampsia and still have high blood pressure 17 months later. I haven't seen the doctor yet, but I have to make an appointment first thing Tuesday morning. The pharmacist said to stop taking my blood pressure meds until I can see a doctor.

Anyone else have upper belly pain? I was woken up around 2:30 this morning with pain in the middle of my abdomen. A bit above my belly button. I had to take Tylenol I couldn't deal with it. And I had lower back pain too. . My legs felt weak but they're fine now. Once the Tylenol kicked in I was able to get back to sleep. But 5 hrs later now anytime I move I feel the pain. Not as bad as it was but definitely uncomfortable. No idea what this is. My arms are really weak now

Is it a sharp pain or like a dull sore pain like you have been doing sit ups? My abdomen has been super sore off and on. My lower back also hurts. Hope you get some relief soon.

Right now it's like a sharp dull achy pain. I honestly can't remember what it was like earlier. I just know it was miserable. My arms are super achy too. Like my biceps. Hurts to move my arms at all. I've already taken 3 extra strength Tylenol and I'm still in pain. Though it has been 6 hours so I can probably take some more now.

Aw I'm sorry you feel so bad can you take extra strength Tylenol? Do you think u might have the flu or something? Sounds like body aches. Hope you feel better soon.

That's what I've been taking. It helped my stomach during the night but now it's not touching my arm pain. They're both very painful and weak. If I don't move they're fine but the minute I move them they're so painful. I don't know what would be affecting my arms except extra blood flow maybe? My body isn't used to it and my veins aren't used to the extra flow so maybe that's what hurts?

hg: It sucks that the hyperemesis got you. I hope you feel better soon.

rbourre: That must have been tough to go through. I had placental abruption with my last dd and delivered at 35+6weeks. I can't imagine how hard it must have been delivering so early. Are you at higher risk to get it again?

My nausea seems to be getting worse day by day. I usually take a while to get to my breakfast because I get breakfast for my girls before myself. I find myself running to the bathroom, gagging, but not actually throwing up. Its almost like I might feel better if I actually throw up, but then I don't want to throw up. Its so annoying.
I can't wait till tomorrow. I got my scan at 12pm. We have to drive 2hrs to the next town, but its so worth it!

Kylasbaby only thing I would worry is they say shoulder pain could be bleeding-did you have a scan yet that showed this pregnancy is in uterus? If you did not lift anything I would get that checked being you can not move.

Got my dog her rabies shot and had to hold her at odd angle on lap in car there and back so my thighs are odd feeling. She puke and is chilling out on heated blanket now. Pot holes are insane! One was SO huge it would have really messed our car up had husband hit it. Came back to see a cone in it and looked like a minature.

Can not believe first appointment is this week!

 

[RedheadBabies]

Hello ladies!! Just read back through, but my memory is awful.

Grich - so sorry for you loss. Praying you soon bring home your rainbow.

To all others with scans approaching, I hope you see a sticky strong bean!

I'm 6w1d by lmp, 6w3d by O. Nausea has struck a few times, but I haven't thrown up yet. With DD, I threw up several times a day like clockwork starting at 8 weeks. I'm hoping not to repeat it as severely.

My nipples are no longer sore at all, so I'm starting to get anxious. My scan is a week from Wednesday (7+4/7+6) and it seems forever away. My first pregnancy was a MMC at 10 weeks, we saw a baby with a hb at 8 weeks, but was measuring almost 2 weeks behind. I then had my daughter, followed by a chemical, and MC at 5 weeks last September. I hope and pray this baby will be coming home healthy in October!

8 weeks for me today too! It feels like a nice little milestone to hit. I just hope we have a good scan tomorrow to round it all off.

my scan tomorrow too, what time is yours?x

What a day

I got in earlier and let my dogs out for a wee, one come to back door with skin hanging off her and and her bone showing, she was rushed to vets and operated on then we went to collect her and on way back a taxi pulled out on us and my OH had to slam breaks on and my belly now hurts so bad... and after all that i asked him if he was staying at mine tonight and hes chosen xbox over me as usual

Aww sounds a rubbish day for you Hun

Hope your OH makes up for not staying after a tough day. I'd be annoyed and upset too.

Hope your dogs better soon.

Ps, don't worry about the pains from having to stop suddenly. Baby is very well padded and protected in there-you likely pulled muscles.
Hugs

After my vent i feel loads better, oh yes he has he took me to an all u can eat restraunt today lol!! i think it is just pulled muscles as i ache allover but feel fine now, having 2 mc's am scared of every knock and touch.. my 2nd scan tomorrow so am sure everythings fine x

From looking it up, I am higher risk to get it again. I had it because I had pre-eclampsia, so if I can manage to get through my pregnancy without getting pre-eclampsia again, then we should be good. My daughter was IUGR too and only 2lbs 2oz. I really hope this time everything goes better.

I agree with Yo Yo I fell at 15 weeks while walking my huge dogs and everything was fine. Right now that are super protect because baby is so small. hope DH comes around. That is so frustrating. My DH does things like that sometimes. Hope your fur baby gets well soon. that's so scary.

i know i need to calm down lol! What dogs do you have? i have 3 mongrels

 

[staceymxxx]

Hg- Oh no, that sounds horrible hun. Hope that the sickness eases off soon and you feel better. Good luck with the scan, sure all is well x

Stacey - Your poor doggy I hope she recovers well soon and everything is ok as for slamming the breaks on, I'm sure all is fine with baby. Like someone else said, they're so small right now they're well padded! I had a bit of an accident the other day, when the winds were bad a tree fell down on top of our car while we were driving. My mum had to slam her breaks on too, such a thud! my poor little 4 month old in the back too. We were very lucky, I was shaken up but im sure baby is fine this early even though it was a bit of a jolt.

A pic of the tree! felt so lucky to not even have a scratch on me(sorry, i spam this lately but i feel like i had a brush with death or something and so happy im still okay! lol!)

When is everyone planning midwife bookings?

Oh my lord thats so bad, your all so lucky to be fine after whats been on the news!!! i bet your on cloud 9 now! lol...

my first midwife appt is tuesday afternoon x

 

[KylasBaby]

So I'm in the emergency room. Lot of abdominal pain in addition to me weird arm pain. Dr doesn't think they're related and based on symptoms and presentation doesn't think it's ectopic. But waiting for an ultrasound and maybe I'll see something but at only 5 weeks maybe not.

 

[whigfield]

Oh no! Good luck KylasBaby.

 

[Kittycat155]

Glad to hear your getting checked out. Hope it goes fast as ER's drag at times.

 

[CharlieKeys]

Hope you feel okay soon HGsurvivor

Hope everything is okay with you as well kylarsbaby

Aw I just love dogs so much! I have a Great Dane and my other is a mix of Weimaraner, American Bulldog, and pointer. They are gentle giants though. They are so good with my DD.

Thinking of you! Hope you and baby are ok. I'm glad you are getting checked out though.

 

[jmandrews]

Just got back from buying some maternity clothes It's becoming more real now! So excited!

 

[CharlieKeys]

I'm too scared to buy maternity clothes incase something goes wrong .... But can't fit in my normal clothes for much longer

 

[KylasBaby]

Just back from ultrasound. Saw a gestational sack and a tiny fetal pole . I think that's normal for just 5 weeks

Tho still no explanation for the ATM pain. At least little nugget is okay.

 

[Kittycat155]

Good to hear. Did they tell you to follow up with dr tomorrow or refer you anywhere?
