October bumpkins 2019

Sometimes my DH makes dinner which - true - is super nice, but he leaves such a gigantic mess it takes me twice as long to clean as if I just made dinner myself and tidied as I went :rofl:

However can’t complain as I’m pretty happy to have someone to cook for me!
 
Thank you so much sweety I'm so relieved. Sickness kicked in again today and my boobs are sore again. How are you feeling
I'm 6 weeks today so mostly just waiting for sickness to kick in if it does, my mother had HG with both pregnancies so I'm terrified of that. So far I've just had this weird empty feeling in my stomach that stays all evening even if I eat, but no actual nausea thankfully.
 
Mine hit me today hun. Been feeling sick all day today to the point I almost just threw up I've just forced my Self to eat some pasta and it's helped a bit. The tiredness also kicked in today. Hope it stays. I know that sounds weird but it's nice actually feeling pregnant
Haha I know what you mean I welcome the symptoms too!
 
Great news on one healthy baby & heartbeat @butterflywolf

And yes husbands... mine had me LIVID earlier!

Spent the day with DD just she and I for a girls day of shopping, ice cream and getting our toes painted and now the poor thing has been throwing up and diarrhea! Seems she picked up the stomach flu :cry: I hate seeing my babies sick! Praying I don’t get it and DS doesn’t get it!
 
Awee I'm sorry your daughter was so sick today. Maybe a rain check, that date sounds too fun to not do again!
 
Hi ladies. Sorry I haven't been super active on here. I'll try harder in the future.

So, I had my first prenantal appt and got my first batch of blood work done on Friday. I think the number seems pretty good for 6-ish weeks. I requested another requisition, so I'm going back on Monday or Tuesday to make sure the number increases nicely. I also booked my dating scan for March 18. The Dr gave me an EDD of Oct 20, but I know I O'd on CD 18, so I'm gonna wait to see what the dating scan says.

In terms of symptoms, I just had my first occurrence of "I need to eat something immediately or I'm gonna be sick." Otherwise, I've had very mild and sporadic boob soreness and I've been pretty tired, but I dunno if that's pregnancy related or just working, mother-of-one life.

No I don't have a dating scan here. They normally just do an ultrasound around 8ish weeks and go from there. I'll have another ultrasound around 12, 20 and we'll do one more around 36 to check baby size. That is all my doctor gives. I will book a private scan around here for 3D/4D images. Its $200 and its 2 visits. One around 26ish weeks and another around 32ish weeks. These are 10 minutes each and you get a dvd with the entire scan on it.
I still feel good. Had a nap today so must have been tired and have a slight headache but other than that still nothing.

with my mmc the baby was measuring 8w6d so this week has me a little on edge. According to scan i would be 8w6d today. I haven't tried to hear heartbeat today, but I may try later this evening. Not sure yet.

I am feeling like this babe is a girl! Heartbeat was the highest heartbeat i've had on any of my babies! 173bpm! DD says its a girl too! I don't know if were going to find out or not. Right now we are not going to, but they may change down the road. We have one of each but truthfully we don't have a preference just HEALTHY! However I am a planner! Like I have to have things ready and be ahead of the game, not being this way brings me so much stress! I am worried this may happen. To keep that from happening I am going to be getting whatever newborn clothing I have left from DD and newborn clothing from DS all together and washed and stuff. i have a crib and such so that isn't a big deal, but I legit gave all of my other baby stuff away! So I have to get all new stuff there. My other big worry is my car... there is currently not enough room to fit a 3rd carseat in the back and I do not have a 3rd row in my car. Kicker is WE JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR at christmas!

Anyway enough rambling about me.. hope the sickness starts going away soon for everyone else. I feel bad getting on here and always saying i'm not feeling sick.

Oh sweety I'm so so sorry about the mmc. I had a misscarage at 10 weeks 4 days with my first it was awful. I've also had 2 early MC and they were very upsetting as well.
I keep seeing stuff about MMC and it's so worrying.
I feel ure be fine this time hon and thus baby you have now will be a take home baby I'm sure of it honey but I know it's hard not to worry because I'm still worrying now about mmc. The baby looked like it had a very strong HB so praying he or she continues to grow and thrive.

With the MC I had at 10 weeks and 4 days I did have a bleed at 6 weeks and was told then I was threatening a MC even tho I see baby's HB. The bleeding did stop but then at 10+4 I felt this woosh down there and ran to the Bathroom and there was so much blood it was like pouring out.
I had to have another scan and that's when they told I had lost the baby. It was heart breaking so I know how u feel sweety.
Can't wait to be 24 weeks so the baby can survive if born.
I hate all the worry the first tri brings.

So here we have a dating scan at 12 weeks then a anomaly scan at 20 weeks where you can find out the sex.
Because this is high risk I will have alot of later scans. One around 25 weeks then 30 weeks then 34 weeks.
Still hoping the MW tells me she wants to request a early scan b4 the 12 week one. I won't be telling her I've already had one because that was privet.
Wow hon 200 dollars for a scan that's expensive. It's about £50 for a privet scan at 16 weeks where they can tell you the sex. And £90 for any scans b4 12 weeks.
Not sure what that is in dollars but don't think there's a great difference between the dollar and the pound.

Still feeling sick here and sore boobs. Been getting restless leg syndrome at night which keeps me awake it's so Horrible. Also having to get up and pee in the night. Been getting alot more sharp stretching sensations but that's about it. Oh and been feeling tired and drained.
Had a big sort out today and got rid of a bunch of old clothes and stuff. Making room for the maternity clothing hehe.
I'm already in maternity jeans eeeek.
 
Sorry I poofed, I'll do that especially right now as I'm quite busy! Anyway had our scan, measuring exactly where I thought at 6 weeks 5 days. 139 heartbeat. There was another area in my uterus, very small, that is more than likely a pool of blood but it's so small they aren't worried, but I may spot a day or two coming up here. Honestly I'm not worried as I had the same thing with Claire when I was pregnant with her and had a scan early on. I never did spot though with hers.
I go for another apt in 4 weeks on March 29th and that's just the typical apt that I will be going for once a month now. I know I'll probably have extra scans again come later in the pregnancy due to my having big babies. I pray with my eating healthier and being healthier in general I wont grow this one as big as my son (10 pounds 5 oz and 21.5 inches)

Wowsers hon fair play to you giving birth to a baby that big. I'm clapping my hands here just like what a womon woohoo
 
Haha I know what you mean I welcome the symptoms too!

Yeah I'm welcoming these symtoms hahaha. The sickness isn't major but enough to make me Gag here and there. Boobs are supper tender as well but I'm not complaining haha. Also been getting sharp stretching pains low down. My boobs have grown and feel heavy have to invest in some new bras soon. I also have a line on my belly.
The only thing I'm not enjoying is the getting up in the night to pee and the stupid restless leg syndrome. Just hope I don't suffer with that all the way through.
 
Appointment went well, dating scan is the 20/3, high risk so consultant led which is fine with me, just keeping everything crossed i don't get pre eclampsia again x

I'm high risk to hon. I'll be midwife and consultant lead. Had pre eclampsia and that liver thing you get when pregnant with my last pregnancy and had to be induced at 35+4.
I also hemariged and my placenta came out in small pieces so this time I'm very high risk. Means I get alot of later scans tho so that's good.
 
All looking good so far. Baby measuring bang on my dates and has a good heartbeat. Makes all the nausea and exhaustion worth it! So pleased and relieved :)

Myheart - hope the booking in scan goes well ! X

Yay that's fantastic news hon so happy for you
 
Hello ladies
I was very active on this site when I was trying and then pregnant with my first son nine years ago and I found it to be extremely helpful and supportive. Since then I have also had a daughter who is now 7. Hubby and I found out we’re expecting Feb 17th so I’m about 6 weeks with an edd of October 26th! I have my first dr appt on March 13th where they said I’ll get a scan! I’m 38 years old so that makes me nervous with all the things you hear and read about advanced maternal age and what not. My morning sickness is mild atm and I’m hoping it stays that way fx!! I’m waking up each morning with pubic bone pain and some cramping, anybody else noticing this?
Congrats to you all and may you all have a very healthy and happy 9 months!! ❤️
