*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[MamaMac123]

So I've been feeling like I'm getting some of my energy back the last week or so......and today I lost it all again!

I'm seriously sooooo exhausted today. I can barely keep my eyes open. And all I want to eat is chocolate! Lol

And speaking of, I can't stand it when pregnant women say they're craving chocolate and someone says, "oh you should eat some fruit instead. Your body just wants the sweet."

Um...no actually my body wants a candy bar! Thanks though

Sometimes my cravings are so specific I want a certain item from a certain restaurant or a certain brand. The other day I wanted pizza but only from a specific pizza shop. The thought of any other pizza made me feel sick. So how someone thinks my body will accept a banana when I'm craving a Snickers is beyond me! Lol

Lmao @ mamamac I know exactly how you feel about craving a specific thing from a specific place. I love red robins but dh hates it yet he loves hamburgers so I was sooo pissed when he suggested we go to another hamburger place. Like hello I want red robins and only red robins and after about 30 minutes of debating with him he caved and went with and the whole time I was wishing I would have just left him at home because I wanted to just eat everything they had there but I would have totally felt like a pig if I ordered everything I wanted. Next time I'm taking my sister so we can share since we typically like all the same things.

Oh a side note I actually lost weight when I went to the docs this morning still up about 5 lbs but about 2 lbs lighter then last visit.

I can say I'm pretty much turned off from sweets, but I was never really into sweets to begin with.

I won't trust gender scans until 18w. We had one with DD at 16 weeks and were told boy! 3 weeks later confirmed girl! This time arising I'll be almost 19 weeks May 7th.. Can't wait!

 

[CharlieKeys]

Hey ladies - not been on here for a while. How is everyone doing?

 

[Yo_Yo]

Charliekeys-nice to see you here. How are you doing? 14 weeks now?! We are all getting into second trimester now or nearly there!

Jcliff-they can be inaccurate early on can gender scans, even though we think it's a boy, won't buy anything until 20+ weeks to be sure! I'd hate to have been told wrong gender like you were! But it can happen! Good luck with yours! Exciting!

Where are you from Stacey? I love the name Alistair, so cute!!! but I have known of about 2-3 in the past so not very common either :-D


We have decided(we think) on a girls name although we're still throwing some around. We haven't got a boys name though!!! we will wait until our gender scan before we think of a boys name as we're 95% sure we're going to have anther girl. Our girls name will have to be a flower middle name as both our other girls have flower middle names
I don't mind sharing our girls name, we like Jessica Poppy. I think it's so pretty. I'm not much for unusual names, I don't mind popularity when it comes to names i just like a nice traditional name

I think Ellie, Georgia and Jessica go nice together too

I'm from South yorkshire where are you from?X

 

[staceymxxx]

Good luck for ultrasounds coming up ladies can't wait to hear all about them!

Rbourre-happy 12 weeks!

GeralynB-oooohh I notice you say 'he' do you have a feeling it's a boy?! Glad scan went well.

I have referred to baby as he from the beginning. I really do think it's a boy. It'll be fun to see if I'm right in a few weeks

My bloodwork reports jus came in. All seems to be perfect except Vit D deficiency... for which I'm sure my doc will put me on supplements.

Now I'm in the clear to make FB announcement...yay! I picked this idea off the internet and added my own personal touch to it.

So cute!

I was 100% mine was a boy and i was right so i bet you are, always trust your gut feeling

 

[CharlieKeys]

I know yo yo! It's going so quick!! Can't believe you're 15 weeks now!!

 

[CharlieKeys]

My 14 week bump

 

[staceymxxx]

This pregnancy is going so quick!!! i've got 4 days off work in a couple of weeks so i'm decorating the nursery xx

 

[zephyr]

I agree it is going so fast!
Im running round after my toddlers all day so I forget im pregnant too.

ive got school holidays and easter coming up and a birthday so my 20 week scan will be here before I know it!

Also ive paid over half of my natures sway baby hammock and itll be delivered in another 8 weeks or so! I am so glad I set that up when I did as I barely noticed the money leaving each week and now I wont have to fork out $350 in one go for it yay!
Cant wait for it to arrive, once we set that up it will feel more real.

Does anyone else get lower abdominal stomach aches/cramps a lot? Some times it's pretty uncomfortable for a while. I also had a bit of pain and tenderness on my left side the other night that hurt when i moved or pressed on the area but went away after a while(I had a scan at 5+4 baby is in the right place)

Yes!!!!!! Omg yes. Especially in the morning and the evenings. I have just been thinking it's because I'm tired. Not sure. I was going to mention it to my doctor as I've been having them off and on since 9 weeks.

AFM -- Things are going well, today is new fruit day! Each passing Tuesday is a very exciting milestone now. I will try to get a bump pic posted this week.

 

[GeralynB]

Tuesday is my new fruit day too! Lime for me this week

 

[AshleyLK]

I'm so, so nervous for my scan tomorrow for updates on the clot. Stomach is in knots!
Keep your fingers crossed for me! Hope it's not the mean obstetrician this time!
Think chocolates the only way to calm the nerves

Yo yo - everything is crossed here for you!

 

[Jcliff]

Im really stumped on the babys gender this time around. I was almost positve it was another girl, but i feel so much better this pregnancy then with my DD (UGH it was terrible.) Also, im craving TOTALLY different foods this time around...with my DD I was craving ice cream, and sweet stuff. This time Im craving like green olives and vinegar. ITs so weird! So maybe a boy?? Well find out May 7th. Cant wait!

 

[zephyr]

I'm craving vinegar too, red wine, balsamic and apple cider vinegars!

Have you had it on oven fries? Yuummm

 

[mommyberry]

I'm craving spicy things. I usually love sweets but can't stomach them now! I hate apples but I want to eat apples now... such strange things this pregnancy brings about!

Just came back from my scan. Baby was measuring ahead by 6 days so I am now 13 weeks 5 days and due date has changed to 9th October!

Baby was so active, I couldn't stop laughing! It waved then flipped over onto its stomach and continued to wriggle! It's going to be a cheeky one! They did manage to get one clear shot though!

I feel so happy, I just can't believe my luck that everything is ok!

My 20 week scan isn't until 29th May which seems ages to wait (and is actually 21 weeks). Hoping to find out the gender then.

Loopy Laura - This is amazing! We were both on Oct 15 and we both jumped to Oct 9th. This is such a lovely coincidence! Looks like our babies are in a great hurry to meet us

My 20week scan is a little earlier than yours... May 23.

 

[ashaz]

Such great news everyone.
Yo-yo any updates?
So I think I might have felt the baby move...is 13weeks 2days too early?

 

[Tasheetravels]

Hi lovely ladies!! Sorry I haven't been on much, I have been stalking though...
We had our 12 week scan yesterday and we now have a new due date! Now due 18th Oct.
The scan was A-Maze-ing! Mr. 2 spent the whole time saying "wow" and "baby sister"!!!! He might be onto something but I feel like it'll be a boy. Won't be finding out till early June... Seems like forever away.

Fingers crossed for your scan yo yo! Wishing everyone a h + h rest of your pregnancy, and thoughts are with those who experienced loss.

I've (hopefully) attached a 3d picture from our scan, so amazed at the quality this early on!
