*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[KylasBaby]

I've been doing some calculating and I ovulated 3-4 days late so I think that would put me back 3-4 days right? So instead of being 6wks3days at my ultrasound I could have just been 6weeks. I'm not sure if that would have made much of a difference with seeing anything in the sac. So by those calculations for my next ultrasound I'll be 7wks 3days rather than 7wks 6days. I don't know it those few days are enough to make a difference between seeing something I'm the sac and not?

When is your next scan?

March 7

 

[jmandrews]

Yay ordered my Doppler I'm excited!

Yayy!! which one did you order?

I order the sonoline b

I really want a doppler, but I don't really want to spend $100 on one. I wish there was a cheaper one other than the really cheap one that says it doesn't work until the third trimester.

I didn't want spend that much but I looked on eBay and got this one for $53 and free shipping.

Oh man mommy2peas, I am so sorry ..now I truly understand why people say to wait to tell people. I feel like at this point we have told all the most important people. But now I do think I will wait until 12 weeks to announce to the rest. It's such a heartbreaking situation. We were originally planning to announce it after our scan on March 3rd but probably not now. It's just so heartbreaking bc I want to be so excited and share my excitement with people now but I don't think I can handle it if it doesn't work out.

Until I started ttc, I never even knew anyone who had a miscarriage. It wasn't even in my vocabulary. And I certainly didn't know anyone that had fertility problems, it wasn't until we were married for almost 3 years that friends and family started telling me there stories assuming that we were having trouble.

Now I know more about pregnancy then I ever needed too and it's scaring the crap out of me. Ectopic, blighted ovum, molar pregnancy, and the list goes on and on. Boy was I naive. I think I liked it better that way.

I live in a shared house and my neighbours food smell keeps coming over through the vents when the heat turns on. It is making me feel sick it is so strong and it smells so bad. I'd say about 95% of the time, it's the same smell. It's so bad. It even makes my husband gag, I keep telling him to imagine what it would be like being pregnant and already feeling sick. I need to get up and make my daughter lunch, but I feel so sick right now because of that smell.

Somehow my husband has convinced me to meet him and one of his coworkers for lunch. For pizza of all things. I've had pizza the past two days, so I'm not quite sure how I feel about this. It's a different kind of pizza I think though. So hopefully It will be fine. Then I have to go grocery shopping. Ugh- where to find the energy?

I feel the same way. I already told EVERYONE, and now I'm wondering if that was a bad idea. Talking about miscarriage is so taboo that I really didn't know it was so common. I feel like if I never joined this site I'd feel much better about my pregnancy, but this site has also made me aware of so many things.

I feel exactly the same - i thought you got pregnant and that was it, turns out it took 6 years with 3 mc inbetween my son, its really taken he fun out of early pregnancy. I did get a great scan today so feeling a tad more excited though

 

[GeralynB]

The only people we told were my sister and my cousin(had to tell her bc I went on a trip to Mexico with her 2 days after I found out and wasn't going to be able to hide the fact that I wasn't drinking) my scan isn't until March 18 but I really don't want to wait that long to find out if everything is okay. I might just have my sister do a scan (she's a sono tech) next weekend (even if it is internal) just to put my mind at ease

 

[Jcliff]

We haven't told anyone. This was a big shock to us, I wasn't taking prenatals, or taking care of myself in the beginning because I had no idea! I've had two US.. Measuring 4 days behind but strong HB. I have another apt next Thursday, if things are good well tell family. I havevt felt pregnant the last 2 days so I'm alittle worried,but whatver happens, happens. I had two mc before my dd so who knows

 

[sprite30]

Ohh ttclou that is so wonderful to hear I am so glad for you. I'm just an emotional wreck today. I went out to grab lunch and a song came on the radio and the lyrics said " this was the day they'd waited for all their lives" and I just burst into tears.

I am very glad I found bnb, my first friend to ever miscarry actually told me about it but if it wasn't for bnb it prob would have taken me much longer to conceive because I did learn a lot about what was normal especially when it comes to Fallopian tubes, I would have never had the strength to remove my left tube if I hadn't heard all the success stories.

I will feel a whole lot better when I go on Monday, but it's killing me to have to wait all weekend. Also I think the reason I am so nervous was bc the two people I know in person that miscarried was at 9weeks and 10 weeks and I'm getting too close to that

I hope Monday comes round quick for you, i know the wait it horrid. Keep yourself busy all weekend. Your Betas look good so i bet you doing great x

For the past week and a half I haven't felt pregnant. I'm not having any symptoms. I am feeling very nervous! We have told most of our family and our close friends. If something happens is rather they know than not. I wouldn't be able to hide that secret as well. I just continue to try to have faith everything is ok.

 

[rbourre]

I just got my letter in the mail for my first OB appointment. It's not until April 11 so I will be 12 weeks 5 days. I have an ultrasound that week too. I have an appointment with my regular doctor March 17.

I am hungry, but I don't want anything. I felt like eating pasta so I boiled some water but then I turned it off and dumped the water out. I was going to eat some crispy crackers with hummus, but I ate one and then didn't want anymore.

 

[sprite30]

Thanks ttclou, I hope it does too. I have a bday party on sat to attend. My friend who had the miscarriage at 10 weeks did go on to have a beautiful little girl and she is turning one. So I think I'll tell her that I'm pregnant only bc I am def going to need to support even just to get threw the next 3 weeks.

Fx everything will be fine jm, fx for myself as well, I've been having very minimal symptoms this week. Today was the first morning I felt nauseas all week other then that I've just been exhausted. Which I usually am due to low iron, so it's weird.

I'm with you...I'm hungry but there's nothing I want to eat. I'm not nauseous just don't feel like eating much. I'm forcing myself to eat some pizza

Wow... this surely is a very chatty group... tens of pages have passed before I came back.

Mommy2peas - I'm so sorry you had to find out this way. My thoughts are with you. I really loved the large family concept with 5 kids... I sure hope you get better soon and get the bun back in the oven.

jmandrews - You'll be fine hun! Keep faith!

Cntrygirl - My friend craved veggies with her DS. Good luck! And we are EDD buddies... so I'm going to stalk you!

AFM - I'm having difficulty with my sleeping position. Flat on the back, Right side, Left side... none of it is comfortable. Ofcourse on my tummy is not even an option... but that is what I am used to all these years. My back is so stiff and painful because of restless sleep.

If this is the case now... I'm just scared how it is going to be further along! All you second timers, nth timers... please tell me how to sleep better!? Especially with this fatigue... I surely need some tips!

you can sleep are on your tummy up to 17 or 18 weeks. I am a huge tummy sleeper so when it came time that i couldn't anymore it was tough. I would invest in a body pillow or a snoogle. it always helped me to have a body pillow in front for belly support and to go between my legs and then on in back. that way if i rolled over i wouldn't have to move my pillow. lol you dH with be thrilled. haha i also would try white noise. it helps me.

 

[zephyr]

Mommyberry im a tummy sleeper too and sleeping on my tummy in early pregnancy always helps me sleep better. Done it with all 4 of my pregnancies, my son I did up until 15 17 weeks ish, til it got too uncomfortable for me.
Use pillows or get a maternity pillow. I used one of those with the twins and slept really well for a few weeks with it.

 

[SisterRose]

Tummy sleeper here too, I still do until it's uncomfortable!

I was also curious how many of you have three children or more? I was just reading this https://www.scarymommy.com/having-a-third-child/ and I found it too funny but also scary! is it really hard jumping from one to two? im so scared! and excited...and scared!!!

*New to Group*

Please someone tell me that I am NOT already the crazy mom... LOL. Had an unscheduled visit with my OB yesterday as I woke up in the middle of the night and had to pee...then saw light light pink blood. Was devestated! Spent the next few hours crying, and then on hold with my dr. for about an hour trying to speak to a nurse. They wanted me to come in right away for an ultrasound.

I made it there and they saw a beautiful gestational sac! measured right in alingment with my LMP. The yolk sac was a bit hidden and blurry in the angles she could find it, but it was there! I now have another appointment earlier than originally scheduled (moved to 3/14 from 4/1) and although she said everything looked good and that it was leftover implantation bleeding just making its way out slowly, why am I still so nervous?!?!

I have a feeling this little "appleseed" just wanted me to see it and let me know everything was progressing as it shoud be. Am I just crazy? Has anyone else experienced any spotting or had any of these issues?

Oh and due date (estimated until next u/s) is 10/27!!!!! Add me to the list please!
