*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[AshleyLK]

Pregnancy dreams strike again! Last night I dreamt my babies were here but I was thinking back on the birth several days before and realized I'd forgotten everything! We didn't take any photos of the birth. I forgot to have the placenta saved for encapsulation, my doula never showed up, I forgot to do skin to skin, the babies wouldn't breast feed and I kept forgetting to feed them anyway. Blah.

Apparently I'm stressed about the birth! The dreams are driving me nuts. I wake up feeling all stressed and on edge and unsettled. And I don't feel rested at all. So tired today!

Also had a few episodes of waking up and feeling really sick. Still haven't actually thrown up and I say there on my bed with the bowl in hand for awhile before being able to lay back down and sleep and again this morning I felt the same way.

On top of which I've had to work overtime the past few days. 13 hours yesterday. I'm exhausted. Thankfully tomorrow I only work a few hours in the morning then have the afternoon off. I will be sleeping! Hopefully without all the nutsy dreams!

I hate those dreams because they are completely silly! I think it's just your brains way of telling you that you must get organized and ready for the event. Hello! You have nine months to prepare, you are going to be just fine! I remember having dreams that I would not take care of my baby properly, like forgetting to feed her but that obviously doesn't happen in real life, they will not allow you to forget! LoL

Urgh. I feel so rubbish today. No sleep properly for days. Within the space of a 5 days I've had a big bleed, now sore throat and some kind of bug.

Looking forward to being able to enjoy pregnancy!

Feel better soon YoYo! Nothing worse then getting a bug on top of being completely exhausted. Sending healthy vibes your way!

Curious....

1. Is anyone considering or planning on doing placenta encapsulation? When I first heard of it I was grossed out but the more research I did the more sense it made. Now I've decided to go for it. Wondering if anyone else is thinking about it

2. Cloth diapering? Anyone? I have a few friends doing it and again, didn't love the idea at first but the more I've learned the more I like the idea. Just decided on our diaper styles and brands yesterday. Anyone else planning to cloth diaper?

I would love to do placenta encapsulation because I suffered about a one month to two month "depression" (I wouldn't really call it depression, more of a difficult transitional period) after I had my daughter. I would try anything to not let that happen again!

Also I had planned to cloth my first, bought all the materials, joined a cloth diapering co-op but then decided at the last minute disposables would just be easier for me. Like I said I had a difficult go of things at first so I just stuck with the disposables.

But if I can give you ladies any tips of diapers to go with, look into Alva baby diapers. They are the same quality as some of the high end cloth diaper all in ones, but only cost about $6 per diaper! I can attest to their quality. I still have about 10 cloth diapers and inserts so who knows maybe I will try doing it.

So to add to my vent yesterday, hubby just got a job after.. Awesome right? Except it's 6 hours away! Hello stress!

Oh I know how difficult that is! We just moved 1000 miles away from our families 6 months ago because my husband found a better job that did not make him travel. That transition has Been difficult but I think every day gets better. Are you all planning on relocating then?

we aren't sure. We have to talk it over. He has another interview friday with someone local and I am hoping they offer more. we will do what we have to do though. I wish it would put us closer to my parents (they are 12 hours away) but it would be close to the same, and instead of being 1.5 hours from his parents we'd be just over 7.

Bleeding a lot Red blood... Panic Mode. I called my doc and she asked me to get an emergency scan done. Rushing to the ER.

Hi ladies,

My scan yesterday didn't go well. I lost the baby. I was supposed to be 11 weeks 4 days but baby only measured at 9 weeks with no heartbeat. I now understand how it feels to lose a little one. I don't ever wish this upon anyone. I have a scheduled D & C on Friday.

Hey ladies may I please join?
My due date for now is October 13th but not sure if the doctor will move me forward since I measured one week ahead last week, will find out Tuesday. I couldn't sleep last night so read I think 150+ pages ands I love hearing all the success stories and sorry for those that have lost their little beans.

I had a miscarriage back in September so this little one is truly my rainbow. I also had the fetal chromosome test last week and heard back tonight that I am pretty much the lowest risk for Downs and about 20 other abnormalities. Plus she knows the sex and they are sending in an envelope tomorrow. Eeeckkkk. We hope to have a small family reveal party this weekend or next to find what we are having.

Sorry for the long post, just wanted to introduce myself and wish you ladies all the best!

Congratulations on the great results! Welcome to the group! Look forward to getting to know you! This will be my 3rd baby, due around October 15th. I went 8 days late with my daughter and 8 days early with my son. (aged 3 and 15 months) This baby was a surprise as we weren't trying. I am 11 weeks today, heard heart beat for first time just shy of 8 weeks. Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!!

Thanks all you lovely ladies. Baby is doing fine thankfully. I can just say that baby wanted me to see her early on and not wait until after 12 weeks She was actively beating her hands and legs and had a wonderful heartbeat.

Doc was talking about some marginal discharge of blood and asked me to rest up properly for the next 10 days.
