*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[Yo_Yo]

Soo last night I woke up in the middle of the night around 1:30 AM feeling very dizzy and weak, had some chest discomfort and abdominal cramping, confusion, and vomiting. I hadn't had a scan yet so I had no idea if baby was even in the right place and was immediately worried it was an ectopic pregnancy or something and I just wasn't bleeding yet. So we went to the hospital and they checked everything and gave me some IV fluids and medicine. Checked my urine again for a UTI because I was still having all the symptoms. Everything came back fine. They aren't exactly sure what was wrong but they are pretty much chalking it up to just being pregnant and not getting enough water and all that.

Also, we got to see our baby for the first time. My boyfriend took my hand and started tearing up. They said the baby was in the right place, was the around the right size for how far along I am, and the heart was just beating away. It was also bouncing around everywhere! I am so glad that everything is okay and I can stop worrying. I'm ready for the morning sickness to be over though

Aww that's lovely your boyfriend got emotional seeing the scan! Bless him, he sounds caring.

Hope your feeling better now. I have had dizzy phases throughout all my pregnancies at some point.

Great all is fine with baby!

Question about HR: at 7w baby was 160 and today at 9w4d baby was 153bpm! Is this normal? I think my daughter was 170s this time!

Just broke out my Doppler again! I found gummi again! Such a little wiggle worm, lol... I got a few seconds of a steady HB of 145!! Feeling so blessed right now!

Jcliff- It fluctuates a bit. From what I remember my midwife telling me, is that it depends on how active you are, how active baby is and the amount of sugar in your system. I've heard it recommended to drink OJ before an appointment to get baby up and moving due to a "sugar rush". HTH

Had my scan!! My due date is October 4th officially! I'm almost 10 weeks wow! Saw baby bouncing around and waving so funny! Heartrate was 153bpm! Dr said if I wanted to do another c section hell schedule me for September 29th! I'm still not sure if I'll attempt a vbac. I have time to decide! Feeling good today!! Glad apt went well! Hope everyone havibg a good day!

Yay congrats. So glad everything went well. Were the same due date now.

Ultrasound went great this morning. Baby is measuring two days ahead and heart rate was at 174. Starting to look more like a baby and less blob like, Lol.

Congrats so glad!

Excited yet nervous. I just want to make sure everything is good.

Yay! You inspired me to get mine out again and I found it straight away I even had to double check it wasn't my hb or the swooshing sound but it was def the babies hb and I was registering in the 160's. Yay so excited

I got to order a pillow. I have bad hip pain to start with if I do not turn often during night so that should help ease that too. I can just see my smaller dog falling in love with pillow. Tried to tell her pittys and pitty x sleep outside on concrete in many places but she has taste and style, and a thief for taking over my pillows at night!

My hips are killing me too! I ordered a pillow and it helps some but still get woken up in the middle of the night from feeling it.

I think morning sickness is starting. The last few days I have been very sensitive to smells and not wanting to eat certain foods. Haven't actually gotten sick yet but I feel like it's coming

 

[SoBlessedMama]

Yay!!! All these great scans! Congrats to everyone : )

I have a scan tomorrow as a follow up from my appt last week due to spotting. I will be 7 weeks exactly. I'm VERY nervous, and really hoping we see a strong heartbeat!!

 

[rbourre]

I'm so jealous of everyone with the dopplers being able to hear their babies heartbeat. I want a doppler, but I won't buy one because they are too expensive and I will hear it at the doctor's office. I'm going to 2 different doctor's, so I am sure I will hear it often enough.

I have been really turned off food today. I haven't ate very much and I know I need to eat something but I really don't want to.

 

[Jcliff]

I feel so bad for my husband. I haven't cooked dinner in like 5 days because my MS gets terrible late afternoon. I can't even think about food without gagging

 

[AshleyLK]

Yay!!! All these great scans! Congrats to everyone : )

Good luck on your scan! I'm sure baby is doing fab in there!

Same here! I just haven't had the energy or motivation. Yesterday we went out for fish and our daughter was a terror. Wouldn't sit in her highchair and threw a ton of sugar packets on the floor...hmm that will teach us from ever going out to eat again, EVER

I have my first obgyn appointment on the 11th. I called my doctor today because I had a discoloration in my undies...not real red, but a tanish brown, very faint. My nurse wasn't incredibly concerned and I am trying to be calm too. I am O- blood type so I know that puts baby at higher risk if there is blood mixing so that's why I'm being extra cautious. My nurse said it was more than likely just something sloughing off. Just trying to stay positive!

Thanks, Ashley : ) I'm sure your spotting is nothing, but I completely understand how scary it can be. FXd that all is well and you can relax and enjoy being pregnant! : )

Off to bed. OB appointment in 12 hours! I don't know how I'm gonna sleep tonight. I'm hoping they will do the ultrasound there so I do t have to get it done at the other place at 2:30. Their technicians are better trained than the general ultrasound techs at the other place. So scared

That's how I've been. Only gotten sick once and it was from eating something gross. These past few days I've only been eating peanut butter and strawberry jam sandwiches because that's all I can stomach.

 

[babyfeva]

jmandrews-I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad that you have great family and friends to support you.

kylasbaby: I hope all goes well for you tomorrow!

As for me, my ms has died down. It wasn't even that bad compared to my other pregnancies. I felt nausea on and off all day, but as soon as I ate I was fine. Now, I'm just hungry all the time, but I don't feel the nausea anymore.
I'm a little late to it, but I think I might be having a boy. I have two little girls and I had the strongest feeling they were girls right from the beginning. I really hope I'm right about this. I would love to have a boy!
