*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[SoBlessedMama]

For those wanting to know I wrote a "birth" story for my baby. We wanted her to have a story even if it was a sad one. We also decided to name her Faye. Cause I was convinced the baby was a girl

I think that's a beautifully sweet idea, Mommy. : ) I hope it was cathartic and brought you some peace. I love her name!

Hi!

I'm new to this thread. This will be my and DH's third baby, we have 2 little girls already age 4 and 5. Depending on how this pregnancy goes we may try for another later on, or this could be our last. I had severe pre-clampsia with my first and my blood pressure went up with my second starting at 34 weeks, thankfully she made it to 38 weeks. This baby's due date is Oct 24th one week before my husband's birthday.

Hi! Welcome : ) I hope you have a healthy and uncomplicated 9 months. My due date is also the 24th. : )

Can I join? I was an october due date last month and miscarried and got pregnant again straight away, my due date is 4th November. I'd like to still be part of the October group, and of course baby could always come early

Please add my angel too x

So I'm sitting at the hospital waiting...woke up this morning to some brown spotting. Hoping I'm just majorly overreacting but with my doc and midwife office both closed for Sunday the hospital was my only real option and I'd rather overreact than do nothing. Hopefully it's nothing to worry about....feeling nervous though, especially after that stupid miscarriage dream yesterday.

Went shopping yesterday.

Bought my first maternity wear stuff...I am so bloated I don't fit much!

I had a look at prams in the shops...thought I liked the icandy strawberry until I moved the hood-so loud, any poor baby would be terrified!

Saw some gorgeous baby clothes, but my hubby doesn't even want to look at them this early!

Anyone else holding off buying until later on?

We are holding off buying until we know the gender. I guess that's normal for already having one child. If we have another girl we are pretty much set. If we have a boy then we will need to go shopping. I can't wait to find out!

When do you get to find out gender?

I'm hoping to book a scan for gender at 16 weeks!

Is anyone else nervous about the possibility of twins!? I already have one toddler, I seriously don't know if I could handle two newborns along with her. It scares me to even think about this!

Yes, twins run in my family so it's a possibility. I would probably freak at first but I would be happy with it.

I have my scan on Tuesday and I am so nervous! I tried talking to my husband about being nervous, he asked why, and I said all the stories I read about going in for a scan and baby isn't progressing, etc. he is now telling me that he is going to block this site, and that he would rather me be naive than prepared... Men.

I am so jealous! I would love to have a early scan but they don't do them here until 20 weeks. So won't be until May

I wish I had this site my first pregnancy. I went in for my US at 6 weeks and saw nothing. Was told my dates were off and I was prob 4 weeks. I was told to go back in 2 weeks for another US. I was naive and believed my dr, thought nothing was wrong, continued to buy some stuff etc, then was heartbroken shocked when I started to miscarry a week later. With my second mc I was more aware and wasn't as shocked or distraught. Then with my third pregnancy (DD) I was fully prepared for everything!

Yeah the first time around, I could NOT wait to buy something for baby. I just couldn't, It was too exciting and it made it feel more real.

Now, with this being my second, im not in such shock and kinda just going with the flow better, I don't have the need to go out and buy stuff for this one right away because I already feel so prepared (having all the baby necessities already)

I'm obviously still excited, just a bit more laid back now.

Doctor thinks we're okay, just told me to rest up, not to life anything heavy and no intercourse till I get to my scan on Tuesday and see what's up in there. The ER doc tried the external ultrasound and said he could see there is def something in there just can't get a good look. So at least that's good. My urine test is still pos and will know my hcg levels here soon. ::deep breath::

I'm totally that crazy overreacting mom already!

I think I heard baby on Doppler!! It was only like 5 seconds and then I couldn't find it again! it was like it disappeared!! Didn't even have time to register on Doppler boo. At least I know it's in there!

 

[SoBlessedMama]

Mamamac, that's great news! I hope you get great results on Tuesday! Keep us posted.

Does anyone have the date for their 12 week scan through yet?x

I wasn't even 6 weeks when I booked my 12 week ultrasound. It's April 7 which still seems so far away.

 

[jmandrews]

Mine is in 9 days it's a little earlier than 12 weeks because March 11th is the only day that worked for DH and I's schedules.

Mines 18th march...I think lol. Need to check!

Not had any letter confirming though, which I thought I would by now.
