*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[Loopy Laura]

I stayed home from work today because I am sick, and now I am crampy, and had a tiny bit of pink/brown spotting. I'm afraid I'm miscarrying again. I can't believe this might be happening again. At this point, I'm expecting the worst, and just waiting for it to happen.

Sometimes spotting happens, it doesn't necessarily mean the worst. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I have ha spotting and some light bleeding on and off since a few weeks into. I am still going. I read some women say past MC have higher chance of bleeding/spotting next pregnancy. I am trying to just ignore it cause I know I can not change anything.

Have any of you ladies tried the baking soda or the red cabbage test for predicting baby's gender?

I tried the baking soda test when I was pregnant with my son. I never found out what either of my kids were before they were born, but the baking soda test was right on for my son. Most of the old wives tales were spot on for him.

Hello

Can I join you? My due date is the 26th of october, but my little boy was nearly 2 weeks late, so I imagine I will actually give birth at the beginning of November.

Congratulations to all you mummys to be

Welcome and congratulations!! My first was 8 days late and my second was 8 days early... so who knows? lol

Praying for you and keeping fingers crossed!

Ugh nauseous. On one hand yay! A pregnancy symptom is reassuring. On the other blah. I feel gross. At least work is over within the hour and I get to go home and eat and go to bed early so I can wake up and go to my ultrasound! So nervous. Im praying the bub is okay.

Soblessedmama, I am sick today as well and was a bit cramps earlier but I was thinking i was getting dehydrated or something so I started drinking water and I feel better now. Fx the spotting stops and all is well.

Kylasbaby, yay!! GL with your scan tomorrow that is my intention tonight as well as soon as I get off work I'm going to eat and hopefully go to bed early

Ugh, first day back from February Vacation today. SO TIRED! My second graders were all awesome today. We only had one time out all day. Even my student teacher commented on what a great day they had.

This was a good ending considering I started the day puking again. (That's now part of my morning routine: wake up, pee, puke). I am seeing my Dr. for my first visit next Tuesday at 8 weeks 3 days, not sure if I should call them earlier though, I've been vomiting so hard that theres little bits of blood for the last two days (not much, just a tiny drop or two mixed in).

Thinking of the nervous ladies and their little beans. Hoping everything will be A Okay for everyone.

Also, glad for more sunlight these last few days. Bring on the longer days of spring!

Thanks!

I'm a proud member of the 'in bed by 8:30' club. Wanna join? Hehe

I ordered From Pea to Pumpkin. Got it today.

Question for those of you doing pregnancy books, do you wait for that week to be over before you write in it or do you start right away? Say for instance you are on week 8, do you wait until week 8 is over to do the week 8 questions, or do you write in it during week 8? Just something I was curious about

Woke up this morning and couldn't stop throwing up for a few hours. Seem to be okay now. Was able to keep down a chicken wrap. It was delicious, too!

Hi ladies! I got my BFP last Sunday! I'm due oct. 28. Im 34 and This is our first baby. I just made my appt for a midwife on march 18 and an OB for the 21. Not sure which one we will use yet. DH doesn't feel completely comfortable not using a doctor so we'll see after the appointments which we like better. So far I haven't been sick at all just very tired, my boobs are huge, and I have to pee all the time.

Hi Geralyn!! Boy are we on the same schedule -- I too got my BFP on Valentine's day and also have the estimated due date of 10/28!! Also our first... and I too am 34!!! wow!!! Crazy time huh?

I too have to pee all the time and am always thirsty! Just praying right now that all goes well because I don't know really what to expect yet, as I am sure you don't either!

I think it also may be all in my brain, but I swear I have pants that already don't fit. LOL. How are you feeling?

 

[GeralynB]

Taquito that's so cool we really are on the same schedule! I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I was feeling a slight cramp but not really a cramp on my left side but not as much anymore. I just really want to get a sono to make sure everything is okay and baby has a heartbeat and everything. I know it's a little too early for that but my sister is a sono tech so I may have her do one next weekend when I'm at the end of my sixth week.

 

[taquito0523]

So jealous that you have a relation to a sono tech!!! LOL! I too can't wait, my first appointment isn't until 4/1! I can't believe they are having me wait that long! It is scary -- I just want to know what is going on in there, you know? I did call my doc when I got my BFP and asked them to do blood work.... just to be sure the 12 HPT weren't all faulty. LOL They did it and said that my levels were good, even brought me back to make sure 48 hours later that they were still doubling.... and now nothing. It's so scary. Wondering what is ok to do, what isn't ok to do, what is ok to eat and not to eat, can I get my hair colored, can I get my nails done? AGH!!!! LOL! I am sure you're dealing with some of the same things too. At least we can be there for each other now!

where are you from? when is your first official appt?

 

[GeralynB]

I'm from Long Island, NY. Yea, the waiting is the worst! My first appt is March 18 with a midwife. I'll be having a sono that day too. I also made an appt on the 21 with an OB because DH isn't completely sold on using a midwife.

 

[Loopy Laura]

Hi welcome and congratulations GeralynB! I'm also pregnant with number 1 so I totally agree that it's impossible to know what to expect! I haven't had a single appointment scheduled yet, not even blood work. Can't wait to have my first scan!

 

[GeralynB]

Yea it's like every little cramp or anything I feel I'm like, "Is this normal? Am I supposed to be feeling this?" Ah the joys of first time mommyhood

 

[newlywed2013]

I am going to write at the first day of that week. I have been doing a blog too, so today I wrote my "week 6" blog, even though it's day one of week 6.

 

[newlywed2013]

By the way, I cannot get enough food today!!! It's ridiculous! I had breakfast around 8, then lunch around noon, a snack around 2, dinner at like 4 (I couldnt wait!) and now its 6 and I'm starving again!! Come on baby, mommy's already gained 2 lbs and I'm overweight and I'm not supposed to gain a whole lot at all! Yikes!

Since like the day after I conceived I was starving and it has just gone down thank god. I'm not supposed to gain a lot either, but baby wants a nice cushioned home

 

[ToughhGal]

I feel you ladies. I have such a huge bloat going on and ate so much lately. And seems as if OH just keeps getting skinnier :O

 

[newlywed2013]

LOL I think my oh is having sympathy bloat. He keeps mentioning that his pants are a little too tight.
