*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[Hairsky]

I am super behind on reading past posts... my apologies to everyone I am unable to name specifically.

I wanted to say congratulations to all of the new mommy-to-be's that have found our wonderful forum!!!

I am SUPER sad to hear those mommy's with the not so happy news the last few weeks...I haven't been on in a LONG while because I was getting worried myself because my symptoms have been virtually non-existent. I am so sorry to hear about what you are going through. I am wishing you all the best for the next time around and I am hoping everything works out sooner rather than later. Sending more baby dust your way!!!!

Had my 8 week US sound today and I'm measuring 2 days ahead of schedule!! Saw the wonderful flicker of my "lima" bean's heartbeat and yes, I cried like a little baby. Doctor says I'm measuring right on schedule and baby looks perfect.

I cannot wait until these last 4 weeks are over and I'm in the home stretch... lol.

I am a hormonal wreck. I asked DH to feed DD some yogurt so he did and I look over to see he fed her my yogurt and not hers. I got so upset with DH because her yogurt is called yotoddler and he knows that is hers. I only have a few yogurts for myself which I bought tonight. Silly to get upset about but I did because my hormones are raging, I'm hungry, and so tired. He got super pissed at me and now won't talk to me. Ugh I just want to cry. He doesn't get what I'm going through right now. He never asks how I'm doing. I dunno if he forgets that I'm pregnant or that he just doesn't care. I just need some support and help. I take care of a toddler all day and keep this house cleaned, his laundry done, and us fed.

I have been hormonal too and DH gets upset and will make a comment like "this is going to be a long 9 months" and then I get pissed and then I cry lol

I know for me with my husband if I am ill and puking or severe headache to point I am in dark room/not moving it is ALOT different then being sick but still moving around. He will do anything I ask of him when I am really sick but during the MC and both bouts of MS he is just lost.

Try to tell him clear directions(the load of white towels in the dryer needs to come in and be folded/put away or feed lo yotoddler strawberry. Seems to work with my husband

My husband makes comments sometimes too. Last week he said "Is everything going to be about you being pregnant now?" I'm the one who has to grow a baby and yes I'd like to talk about it sometimes. We haven't shared publicly so there's not many people I can talk to.

Oh my gosh I just stuffed my face with cheese pizza! It was heavenly! I can't wait for it to digest a bit so I can have some more =)

 

[GeralynB]

Yum...pizza

I also have to address another issue as I saw it come up recently. When you have an early ultrasound, if it is done in a hospital and not a doctor's office, the US tech is not allowed to give you results or tell you what they see. It is not that they are mean, or want you to have a bad experience, it is the law and they could lose their job. With that being said, there is of course a nice way of explaining that and some people can just come off bitchy, ya know, which of course is not ok. I just wanted to throw that out there so people can kind of expect how things might go at an early scan so they aren't disappointed.

that makes sense then , but kinda harsh you have to wait. In the Uk a technician (well certainly where im based) they will tell you what they are doing while they are doing it and give a report straight after.

I think I've heard that in the uk they are allowed to give results but not totally sure. I've actually heard some talk of them creating the position of ultrasound practitioner, which would be kind of like a nurse practitioner for a radiologist. I bet they could give results if the test was pretty straightforward, but it's so new I'm not really sure.

So glad the info was helpful to you ladies!

Lovely scan hairsky!

I don't think I have had much pregnancy symptoms. A little cramping here and there and I *think* my tummy felt a little funny at breakfast and I couldn't finish. But maybe it was my mind playing tricks!

So odd, I should be so happy I'm not sick, yet it makes me a bit nervous.

 

[AshleyLK]

Oh I have backne though

Omg I am so hormonal today I actually yelled at the new neighbor she was so freakin annoying she apparently hit the other neighbors car but refused to admit that she did so instead of acting like a normal human being and explaining herself she just stood out in the middle,of the street screaming for 15+ minutes at him so finally I went out and said listen I don't care what's going on but I'm trying to work here and if you live on this street you should try being a little nicer and which point she called me some obscenities and told me to go back into my house. So I did and I called the cops on her for noise disturbance and guess what.....she got a ticket for it. So ha!! And apparently she wasn't to happy about it bc she started crying and I overheard the cop telling her to keep "her volume down" basically saying shut up lol stupid people don't mess with a hormonal pregnant woman. In all reality I should have just minded my own business but I just had this overwhelming urge to prove a point. I'm horrible I know

Nervous about my apt tomorrow. Should have a simple can at the office and hopefully set up a 12 week scan. I don't know why Im so nervous. I still have MS but that is really the only symptom.

I also had pizza tonight! So good, but now Im paying for it!

 

[newlywed2013]

I ate too much lol. Having some indigestion. Yuck!

 

[Hairsky]

My husband is acting the same way!! He knows I'm pregnant and he says he understands what I'm going through but I really don't think he does. I tell him I'm nauseous and I need to lay down but he gets all upset like I'm over exaggerating or something. I told him today I don't feel good and felt like I was going to be sick all afternoon. He had the audacity to say "when are you not feeling good?" All sarcastic like. It really irks me that us women are experiencing all of these symptoms and putting our body through so much and the men just sit back and say they understand but in actuality they have no clue!!! I feel like they think it's just another walk in the park. Like today during my first appointment my husband was asking about level of activity for exercise and whatnot. Doctor of course said to regularly exercise in moderation and it's perfectly healthy. Well husband took that as continue to work during the day, come home, clean, cook, do laundry, etc. I'm sorry, but this pregnant wife right here is exhausted by the end of the day and just needs a little nap or she's going to snap. But oh no.... DH gets upset because he is now feeling forced to pick up the slack that I haven't been feeling alright to get around to. I'm sorry, but the smell of dirty dishes is a little nauseating. Lol. Anywho. That's my tirade and I'm sure it'll just get more infuriating the next 7 months. Can you all believe it? Only 7 more months left!!

I really hope your appointment goes well tomorrow. I'm sure everything is fine. I was so nervous today before my appointment I couldn't keep any food down and my stomach was in nervous knots. But once I say my little peanut on that screen all stress and worries disappeared and the world literally felt like it stopped for me to bask in the moment of seeing the little one and how precious making a baby really is.
