*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[Yo_Yo]

Hi ladies! Hope it's not too late to hop in. I'm 8 weeks today, due Oct 10, although I just had an us that measured 7w3d. I have a 20 month old and massive m/s, which is miserable, but I keep reminding myself it's for a good cause!

Also, I'll address my signature sometime soon...it's obviously left over from my last pregnancy!

Welcome!
Ms is hard work when you have a toddler to look after too, hope you feel better soon.

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!

Welcome!

Sounds like a little scare for you. Hope your ok now.

Must have been nice seeing the scan for reassurance though-all sounds great and as it should be on it for you.

I'm so sorry mommyof2peas

 

[CharlieKeys]

Oh and I found going from 2 babies to 3 was a lot easier than from 1 to 2.

I'm so nervous to go from 1-2, esp when they will be 17 months apart.... I suffered terrible PPD with my DD so I'm terrified it's going to be just as bad or worse

 

[SisterRose]

It's nice hearing that Charliekeys, I hope it's the same here!

Jcliff - Going from 1-2 was a bit of a leap at first just getting in to routine but honestly has been great so far now that we're all settled! i am nervous about the small age gap of no.2 and no.3 as well there will be 13 months between them.x

Have you ever considered placenta encapsulation? It's supposed to really help combat PPD. I have suffered depression for years so I know I'm totally at risk for PPD. When I first heard about it the concept grossed me out but the more I learned about the health benefits I couldn't imagine not doing it. Maybe look into it of you haven't already since you know PPD is an issue for you this could really help.

I hate that my stomach and my bladder wake me up way before I am fully rested. And I have a feeling I am not getting back to sleep either...

 

[SisterRose]

That sucks Newlywed! I have started waking up in the night to pee too

 

[MamaMac123]

That sucks Newlywed! I have started waking up in the night to pee too

Me as well, I wake up 2-3 times through the night for pee breaks.

 

[SoBlessedMama]

I feel ya, newleywed!! Been waking up every morning at 4am with my bladder about to bust! And then it takes so long to go back to sleep, which isn't good since I wake up at 6:15 for work. But I take all the symptoms as a good sign that things are going right. : )

My friend did this and swears by it.

Anyone had a sharp stabbing pain? I keep getting it on and off today it's not one one side it's right in the middle just above my pubic bone.

Personally I really struggled going from 1 to 2 ... But my second child was a very difficult baby. He had colic and silent reflux ... And even now behaviourally he's very challenging.

Totally look into this!! I've not suffered pnd but after my youngest had post traumatic stress and been looking into this as a help out just incase, also if you plan on bf it's fab for milk supply too

And it's more getting into routine I found going 1-2 just took a few weeks to master then it's like you've been doing it forever

 

[Jcliff]

I had a friend who did it! I was going to ask her and see if the pills helped her and then discuss it with my husband

I get sharp stabbing pains if I move suddenly or twist to get out of bed. It only lasts a second but it's very painful. It's on the left side usually though. No idea if this is normal I'm afraid.

 

[CharlieKeys]

If it's still happening I'll ask the midwife tomorrow at my booking in appt

 

[GeralynB]

I haven't gotten up yet in the middle of the night...I'm sure it's coming soon bc when I wake up in the morning I have to go so bad

Round ligament pain...just things growing and loosening up. I have got it with all 3 pregnancies! I am getting up in the night to pee, luckily I fall right back to sleep. Been feeling really rotten all day but happy for the reassurance. Scan on Tuesday afternoon! Hope everyone is well...with a 1 year old and feeling so crappy I am finding it hard to keep up on here!

Charlie keys--I am having some sharp, stabbing pain when I twist or move the wrong way. Its painful, but not TOO bad, and only happens occasionally. I asked my doc about it at my appt on Tuesday, and she said it is very common. I think it has something to do with everything stretching and moving. If it worries you, just give your doc a call. But as long as its not constant, or accompanied by spotting, its probably very normal. : )
