*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[Yo_Yo]

Hi ladies, I just returned from my appt with the high risk specialist. Just as I thought there wasn't really much they could measure today as I'm still very early but I met a couple of the doctors and 2 nurses and 2 us techs. Guess they really wanted to make me feel welcomed. I go back in 2 weeks again to measure my cervix. It's all extra precaution they said they usually don't measure cervix until 16 weeks but with my history they're going to keep an extra eye on it.

The baby was hiding today she tried to do the abdominal us which hurt bc she had to push so hard but I guess she couldn't get the measurements at all so ended up doing it transvaginal anyway. It was cute though I saw the baby wiggle and then it put its hand up too. The pic didn't come out too well but here it is.

It's good for you to meet some of the doctors etc. sounds a good place your getting care at.
I love your scan pic! aww how cute baby was moving its hand! Sounds like baby was waving at you!

Feel sick still! All day now! I really want some ice cream or a brownie...my head says yes, but my stomach a big no! Lol

I am the same way with tacos! I want some so bad, but I tried it about a month ago and it was baaaad.

So sorry for your loss sunflowers.

Welcome to the newcomers and congratulations!

I've got my first scan on Wednesday and just can't stop thinking about it and getting worried as I barely have any symptoms. I'm really hoping for positive news!

can't wait to hear about your scan. Don't worry-dd2 was symptom free pregnancy, and she's now two!
Some babies give us a harder time than others...like kids really

It's awful to be off food you love! Never had this problem before

How are you doing? Has the spotting stopped?

Is anyone getting more anxious about bean as time passes? I have no reason to be worried - my boobs still hurt, I'm still nauseated, I'm still getting really strong lines on ICs (I know, I can't stop!), but I'm worrying more and more that something is not right.

I'm going for my booking appointment tomorrow so I will say something then, but I'm probably just being a neurotic FTM, aren't I?

How can I keep this in check? I still have to wait 18 days for a scan...

If I don't keep myself in positive check I can get very worried. I've never been pregnant before but I'm sure it's harder at this stage when miscarriage risks are higher and when we can't feel them yet. Between scans theres nothing we can do but hope all is well in there. You're definitely not alone.

I'm all midwifed out now...the booking appointment is exhausting! I'm glad to have finally had it Next see the midwife at 16+2, and only have to wait 2 and a bit more weeks to see sprog on ultrasound. I really hope he/she is ok in there...

Just hope they actually deliver my doppler tomorrow so I can try and find a HB...parcel is being sent via royal mail tracked and they are absolutely awful at not leaving parcels in the specified 'safe place' if you're out, so I'm almost guaranteed to have to wait til Wednesday and take a trip to the sorting office to pick it up

Ah good old royal mail! They always come when I'm out!

Does it feel more official now youve seen the midwife? It did with me!

Hope you get it tomorrow. Let us know when you've tried it out.

It has! I haven't had any since Saturday night! Must have been leftover from my pap. So relieved!

I got 10 viles of blood taken today that's always fun. Had to get the prenatal blood tests my dr orders for everyone like blood type antibodies rubella etc.

I apologize I am unable to go back and read previous posts right now for now I will catch up later. I just wanted to tell you all about my first scan today. Here they will not allow for pics to be taken and they will not give you any unless you pay for them. We did get to see our LO though and he/she was very active. Nothing bad was said, though there wasn't much said at all. I am measuring 9+3 and I'm 9+6 so pretty much on track she said. I will find out if anything bad came up tomorrow at my doctor's appointment.

I was a bit shocked when they took 10 vials. Then told my I was getting the GTT done due to weight and I was like no thanks Make sure to get a copy as I know in NJ they HIV test and good to have that when you go to hospital to deliver.

Currently eating pizza and the local joint actually knew my name today...oh no. Well makes sense as this is my...5th pizza in 4 days I think. My husband had 1 slice of them all. And iced tea. I have peach,regular, unsweetened and raspberry(yuck) by Arizona, Wawa, no name brand from dollar Tree(omg it is GOOD) and Nestle. Also have the powder mixes.

That's a lot of blood. I had 7 taken with my daughter and felt really faint after since they made me fast first. I only had 4 with this baby and wasn't told to fast first so it was much easier. I found out last time that I don't keep immunity to rubella so I have to get the MMR shot after delivery. I imagine I will hear the same thing when I go for my next appointment next week.

I had 11 vials taken on Saturday morning including for the 1 hour gtt they were going to take 10 and I said you better take one more cause last time they didn't take enough and i couldn't get the test they needed for another 2 months so I said ahh better take an extra one.

 

[MamaMac123]

Can I join? I am due 10/21 with twins. I am still in shock that there are two! Especially since I have a 10 month old little girl.

Yay more twins!!!

I think ms might be starting to set in for me. I haven't actually thrown up yet but had several instances today where I thought I was going to. Did it hit you guys suddenly or did it sort of gradually get worse. I feel like mine is happening gradually. Each time it hits more intensely.
