*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[snowflakes120]

Jcliff - I am doing a repeat c-section. I don't have a choice as my pelvic bones were too small to birth my son and he was a normal 7lb 8oz baby. I am 5' tall and barely 100pds. I'm not surprised as my cousin had the same. I don't have a date yet - they said they would give me a date around 28 weeks. They said they usually do it at 39 weeks - I am hoping my OBGYN that did my first will be at the hospital that week to possibly do my 2nd. I had an awesome recovery (another surgery I had was way worse!) and plenty of milk - if not too much!

newlywed - Wayyy too early for you to feel baby - even if it is not your first.

babyfeva - Hope the spotting goes away soon!

I'm still feeling wonderful. No symptoms other than being exhausted - just like with my son. Finding baby easily on doppler. I am excited for the NT scan in the beginning of April. Still haven't told anyone. Waiting it out til Easter 14/15 weeks. I can't wait to stop these Progesterone supplements in 2 weeks!

10 weeks today. 2 weeks and 1 day until my ultrasound.

Thanks everyone.
Just back from scan and baby is amazingly all ok. I have a placental heamatoma sp? They is a pocket of blood at the edge of the placenta, and its slightly come away from the uterine wall. That's what caused the bleed.
I am so relieved baby is ok-it's a miracle as I lost so much blood.
I've been told to relax the next few days.
Off to bed now as I havent slept for ages. Hope this post makes sense

Xx

Glad to hear everything is ok. Rest, rest, rest!

I'm so glad all was ok yo_yo. That must have been a scary experience. Make sure you rest up now.

Congrats jcliff on the scan!!

Laelani - I am also pretty stressed at work and I'm having to do a lot of travelling. I know it's not good for me but it's just ongoing! Nobody knows yet so it's hard to say anything. Some leave sounds like a good idea! Hope you settle yourself soon.

Welcome natandmat and congrats on the hb!!

Thank you. I hate feeling stressed. With the raging hormones of pregnancy I feel like everything in life either stresses me or makes me angry. I am not as happy as I once was. I am hoping that will all subside in second trimester.

Kel21-glad you found the baby on the Doppler-they can be so good at hiding!

CntryGirl-you'll have fun when you get your Doppler, it can get addictive to listen to them

Zebadi-yay for having your 12 week scan! Sounds all good with a great hr too

Jm-hope your doing well-you on your vacation yet? I forget when you were going!

La Mere-glad you feel reasurance after hearing the HB-love my Doppler these days.

SisterRose-you had more idea than the first doctor I saw! Sch is scary, but I know what you mean about being prepared to bleed-horrible though. Let's hope we don't have to go through it. It was a frightening experience..I'm sleeping with my legs crossed lol

Starbrites-hope your sickness gets better

Jcliff-awesome news you had a good scan

Laelani-hope your anxiety eases. Try to relax lovely.

Thanks, I definitely try my best. It's hard sometimes. As I mentioned above I feel I am either stressed or angry a lot of the times right now.


AFM now everything seems to be ok besides my crazy mood swings. My appetite has finally leveled off and I am not eating like a cow any more which is good. I am starting to show a but as my co-workers are now noticing. It is fine though as my manager at work already knows because I am a high risk pregnancy this time around and the doctor told me to tell them right away in case of any complications. My manager was super excited and is sooooooo supportive. It's great considering I've only been working there 4 months.

Welcome to all the new ladies and congrats to everyone on their amazing scans!

Welcome new ladies!

I am still feeling so tired. I hate this feeling, it feels like I'm hungover all day. Just seems like there's no end in sight...then I think about having a newborn and a toddler and I'm starting to feel overwhelmed.

With this extreme exhaustion, I've kinda been a crappy parent in my opinion, my daughter is used to me sitting on the floor with her and playing, going shopping, doing crafts, etc and I havent been doing any of that!

Do you ladies have any suggestions on natural ways to get my energy levels to rise? I could really use a boost!

Also I am having an aversion to coffee right now so that's just not an option.

Mama mac-thank you so much! My doctors office basically told me to rest and drink fluids for the weekend. They said if it got worst to call. I'm scheduled for 9:30 am tomorrow!

 

[babyfeva]

Yo Yo-thank you for the positive words. I did read about your bleed. Sorry I didn't get to respond sooner. I'm so happy that all is well for you. I have an appointment tomorrow morning at 9:30, so we'll see what they say.

 

[babyfeva]

So blessed mama-thank you dear. I did have an episode of spotting early on but it lasted 1 day. Now, this time around I'm on my fourth day of spotting! I really hope all is well with baby.

Had my 12 week scan today all was well. Baby was kicking away and the measurements were good.
Got a few videos and heaps of photos

Hey honey-I'm pretty sure your not being a crappy parent. Take it easy and listen to your body. It's hard to rest with a lo I know, but don't feel bad. Me and my dd2 are sitting watching Despicable Me!

Eating well and drinking plenty of fluids are big energy boosters too

Welcome to the new ladies

Babyfeva-- I hope all is well with your little bean.

Instead of getting better my nausea seems to be getting worse over the last week. Hopefully it passes. My doppler should be here within the next couple of days. Can't wait to check on baby.

Hope the sickness passes soon for you not nice feeling sick.
Have fun with your doppler when it arrives, I find mine very reassuring.

Welcome to the newbies!

Babyfeva - saying prayers for ya hun! Let us know how it goes!

I'm doing the extreme exhaustion thing as well. I have to do things in spurts. Get up and ready for the day then sit for awhile. Take the kids to school, then sit for awhile. Haha I work as a nanny so I have to entertain a 3 yr old all day so I feel the pain of not having the energy for it. We play a lot of doctor patient these days. I tell her I'm tired and not feeling so good because of the babies and she plays doctor and takes care of me haha

Will be nice when it's finally warm out and I can take her to the park and stuff. Fresh air seems to help revive me a bit.

Last night I started feeling a bit short of breath. I wasn't even doing anything. I was laying in bed! My hubby thinks it's anxiety as I'm a worry wart and always wondering if the babies are okay in there. Anyone else experienced shortness of breath when not exerting themselves? Wondering if I need to talk to my doc about it.
