*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

Same here my husband is on cat litter tray duty since I had first mc 3 years ago

 

[Kittycat155]

I just make him do the rescue cats as I sometimes trap to get a cat neutered and release it back outside. Have not done any in few months but usually when weather warms up they pop up one after another. If I can have him do it I do but sometimes I have no choice but to do litter if it is a smelly one. I also have a dog who digs for treasure. She can squeeze into small spaces so I can not block box from her as one of my cats is huge and can not jump to well as he is a bit older.

He has been great about mopping as my backs been freezing up(something it does only in winter-will ask Dr about doing tests after baby as curious what it is, and anything I can do). Trying to get him to do somethings he has not done yet to get him a bit well rounded in housework as I can not see me cleaning our tiny bathroom when I got a huge belly in few months. It is just awkard the layout. I threatened to make it a half bath on more then one occasion.

Loving the scan pics ladies!!! Beautiful pictures!!

 

[milosmum]

If it is any reassurance ladies I am a vet so constantly surrounded by animals large and small and as long as you wash your hands after handling them there is no worries for your pregnancy. My DS is a fit healthy testimony to that as are the multiple off spring of all my vet friends and colleagues!!!

 

[30andready4]

Me too! LOVE those scans! Your "concrete evidence" that your little one is on his/her way! They are beautiful!
I have to wait 11 more days for my first 7wk scan... I can't wait... so impatient to see my baby. Seems like forever. grr... lol

 

[30andready4]

so- Magnesium. I keep hearing about it. My SIL just gave birth and she couldn't recommend it enough.

What are your thoughts on the subject? Anyone taking a supplement of magnesium? if so, how much and when? also- how do you feel it helped you (previously, if this isn't your first pregnancy)

 

[zephyr]

What is magnesium meant to do?

I am still managing my sickness okay . Forgot to take a dose and I was trying real hard not to vomit this morning tho

Also I have a very strong adversion to cucumber. Hubby was cutting it 2 rooms away and I could smell it and it made me want to vomit so bad. As soon as I see or smell cucumber my head goes dizzy and I wanna puke.
Never had an adversion quite as strong as this one so its a bit weird.

Thanks everyone for well wishes... roll on 12 week scan

I have 3 dogs - 1 is moving inwith my sister which has been planned for months as shes getting her own place so wants a 2nd dog, I will have 2 dogs and a baby I must be mad lol xx

 

[jmandrews]

Beautiful scan whigfield!!!
Congrats and welcome Radiance! I'll add u to the first page

I have two huge dogs and they are womderful with my DD. It really isn't that difficult to take care of all 3

Milosmum that is so neat that you are a vet! I always wanted to be a vet when I was little but I went for graphic arts instead lol my twin sister is a vet tech

 

[jmandrews]

Ok ladies I am showing a lot at only 7 weeks 4 days. Do you think it's because this is number 2? I looked like this at 15 weeks with my DD.

 

[sprite30]

Good luck with the animals I can't even find the energy to make myself lunch and dinner let alone take care of something/someone else right now.

I had to tell a coworker today that I am pregnant, it was such a relief to tell her as I felt like I was lying to her and she was wondering why the hell she had to train a new person on her job but it's because I am her backup so if I'm out on maternity then she pretty much won't be able to take off and she has 2 kids of her own so she'll be needing to take off so after I told her things started making more sense to her and she wasn't so mad at our boss. It's really getting me excited to start telling people, it's killing me actually.

 

[Radiance]

Hey Ladies!! Would love to join!
Going by lmp I should be in the beginning of 5 weeks.
Due around October 18

Congrats! I'm due then too

Thank you!!


When is everyone planning on sharing?

Our son was stillbirth in August followed by two miscarriages at 9+1 and estimated 6/7 weeks. My plan is not to share until 20+ weeks. I told my mom, OH and best friend though. It's so hard, I am so excited and feel good about this.

 

[newlywed2013]

I already told everyone,lol. It's my first and I am beyond excited!I know I should've waited, but I couldn't

 

[sprite30]

So sorry to hear about your loss.

We were originally planning on waiting until 12 as a friend of ours had a miscarriage at 10 weeks and my sil had one at 8 weeks but the more I think bout it, I think well def crack by 8-9 weeks. I'm just so damn excited.

 

[Radiance]

I know, I really don't want to wait! A few really good friends posted tonight and they are due in October, it was so old to hold back and not say "me too!!!"
I shared right away with my first three but now I know loss and I know it can go either way but I'm not quite ready to share nor am I prepared if it happens again.

I wanted to wait until 35 weeks and thought at 20 weeks that would be fine but I really think we will be spilling at 12 weeks! <--- Oh I must add my husband and I moved hours away from our original city so no one would be suspicious!

 

[Kittycat155]

I told everyone I had planned to tell when I first found out at 9dpo I have had 3 chemicals and 1 MC at 11 weeks. I did not tell mom of the 2 and 3 chemicals as it was after MC and she is terrified I am going to die cause TTC has not been easy. She knew of first chemicals cause it was christmas 09 and I was so depressed.

 

[ljo1984]

Jm, I'm exactly the same! I'm 7+2 and have a right bump, I say it bloat but it's there all the time!! At first I was flat on a morning then the bloat would appear later! Unless there's two in there :-/ lol. Xx

 

[StarBrites]

Ahh, you ladies and your cute bumps!
I'm also jealous of all your early scans, mine is not for another month!

 

[jmandrews]

So far this "bloat bump" sticks around 24'7... It doesn't change in size at all. Lol
Starbrites I know how you feel! Hopefully time flies until our scans!
