Ok, problem....I'm feeling better today and I started spotting. Maybe its nothing (I spotted with babies 2-5 and had that SCH bleed with 5) but it always makes me so nervous. It's not too dark but its definitely there. :(

Does it look like the blood after your SCH bleed? Call doc for a beta?Quote:

I would call the doctors office and let them know. They did a Beta for me and an US five days later. Hang in there! It could just be uterine stretching or am owie on your cervix. TMI- if I have a difficult or large BM I get pinkish/red CM for a lite bit.Quote:

So last night when I couldn't sleep due to cramping after sex, DH and I talked about baby names. I wasn't going to tell him the name I really like for a girl, because I thought he wouldn't like it. He is already on board with a word name for a girl, since I have a word name. Well I told him, and he loves it! If we have a boy we have a first name picked out. Not sure about the middle name for a boy yet, but at least we have names picked out!
We didn't have any names for our boys until I was 8 months pregnant, and we didn't have any girl names picked out.
I'm so happy! [emoji175][emoji175]

So exciting twinkle! So are you of "advanced maternal age" like the rest of us? Lol. I think we are all 33-35. What genders do you have and did you away at all?
So the spotting was just the one instance this morning so far. Since there's really nothing that the Dr could do I'm just going to put myself in pelvic rest for a few days unless it starts back up. Now that you mention it XX (tmi warning) I have had loose tummy issues for the last 2-3 days so maybe it's from that? Can you take Imodium while pregnant?
I don't know about taking Imodium in the first trimester, but I took it during the second trimester with DS1 after a BAD tummy bug that wrecked havoc on my intestines!
I'm so glad the spotting stopped for you. Whew!

The bleed with the last baby was on and off (every 2 day maybe) until 10 weeks. So I guess we will just have to wait and see!
I'm beyond advanced I'm a dinosaur! I'm 40 now eeekkQuote:

So do you get the Harmony testing and test for gender early then twinkle? Or will you? Did I miss what genders you have already?
So excited ladies! I have my first trimester US scheduled for 6/2 at 8:00am. I will be 13 weeks 5 days! Plus, I will have MaterniT21 drawn then too!!
So excited!!!
How is everyone else doing?

Yay!!!! What exciting news XX! What is your due date again? Finally some real action happening for someone in this group!
AFM: I'm actually feeling pretty good! Still soooooooo sleepy. can barely keep my eyes open but the nausea isn't too bad and just comes and goes. I am hoping and (literally) praying that it doesn't get as bad as usual this time around. I need to be able to be a mom to my kids! I am still spotting exactly every other day. This is what happened last time so I put myself on pelvic rest. Not sure when I'm going to go in still. Wanted to wait for 12 weeks.
I sure hope the spotting goes away soon Five babies! Mine came back for a day then went away and then came back stronger three days later, but still light. I had a prenatal appointment and my midwife checked out my cervix. All is well! She showed me a study that puts my miscarriage rate at 9% since my SCH was only 1cm and we saw a strong heartbeat. That is about as close to the peace of mind as anyone can give me right now. I'll take it!!
Oh and my due date is 12/03/2015!!

I had to break down and ask for meds! I drew the line at puking three times in one day and not being able to keep water down! They put me on Diclegis, which is basically a time released Unisom/B 6 combo. in one pill. It is the only category A antiemetic approved for morning sickness. It works miracles! I only take two tablets at night and it lasts ALL day! I feel human! I can tell it is still there at times, which makes me feel good!
If you're in the states, don't hesitate to ask for it, if you need it! The Unisom/B6 worked for me but only lasted 12 hours and then I was sick the rest of the time. The Diclegis lasts all day long!!!

This is wonderful info!! Mine MS should be kicking in next week or so. Hoping I can stay on top of it. Also, bought the Preggie Pops today. Figured best to have on hand since MS can start at any timeQuote:

He decides to soak his feet in LAVENDER Epsom salts and then apply salicylic acid wart remover that still smells in the other room! Ugh! I told him he wants to continue to live here, he has to use these things either in the garage or outside!!!
Now I feel so sick after feeling so great all day! Only 40mins until I can take more medicine!

I hear ya XX. My DH did that last week with his cooking binge. Slow cooking with lots of onions. I spent the weekend hiding out in my bedroom. BTW, I bought the psi bands and think they are helping. I still feel a bit off but nothing as bad as the weekend. Although I haven't put them to the onion test yet ( not that I'm planning to ).
Really hope you all feel better as soon as possible and that the spotting stops 5babies.
Very exciting about your ultrasound and materni 21 test Xx.

I'm joining also! Due date will be 12/26/2015:)
Already have my first ultrasound scheduled in 3 weeks. Am I the only one who swayed blue in this group?
So far feel pretty good, just hungry all the time, LOL! and of course tired by the end of the day:)
Welcome sc1411! That is a good sign you are hungry all the time! I was hungry all the time, even with MS, and I have 2 boys!! FX for you!!

Welcome!! Hunger hasn't struck me yet...just tired!Quote:

Welcome SC!!! Hope you get your boy!
I didn't really do much to sway but what I did was girlie.
Still spotting. Tempted to go in but don't really want to yet.
5babies- I hope everything is ok!
DH felt so bad last night! He didn't realize his salicylic acid wart remover would have a lingering smell. He promised to use it outside from now on! Whew!
So I STILL don't have an increase in appetite and have to make myself eat and snack! I haven't gained any weight yet, which I know isn't a big deal. By 8 weeks with both of my boys I had put on 4-6 pounds! I only gained 25 with both of them. I wonder how much I'll end up gaining this time. I'm sure my appetite will increase at some point. It is just strange though and something different I have noticed in this pregnancy. Otherwise I seem to be more sick than with DS2.
How is everyone else doing? We should have more new ladies joining us!

Glad the Diclegis is working for you XX! I needed the unisom/b6 combo for both of my pregnancies or else I was dying. Without it, with DS2, DH would be showering in the morning and I'd be throwing up at the toilet next to him AND peeing all over the floor at the same time since I was vomiting so forcefully!!!! Sooo horrible!!!! After doing that daily for 2 weeks I had to break out the unisom/b6!!! It helped, but not as much as it did with DS1 and I was still sick till the 26 week mark!Quote:

Essence- that sounds awful!! I'm so sorry.
XX- glad DH is sensitive to your needs!!
I don't want to cook dinner. :(
I didn't either. I cheated and picked up McDonalds for the boys. I rarely do that, but I couldn't stomach cooking anything tonight!

Looks like it's mac n cheeses for the kids and DH can fend for himself! Lol
I made chicken for dinner.. I said to DH "this is sooo good" and then I realized it's because I haven't eaten chicken since January. It was like the best chicken ever. Hehe
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Lol! That reminds me that we have leftover chicken in the fridge from last night! Perfect. Dinner is done.
I really don't want to think about my BMI with this pregnancy, gained 17lb with HE diet and looks like still gaining. oops:nails: I really hope it will slow down at some point.
I remember with my first DD i actually lost 4 or 5 lb during first trimester, with the second one it was a stable weight gain:)
I'm sure you are perfect! I work for my OB/GYN so I have to be very careful about how much weight I gain during pregnancy. I'm a little nervous since I'm at my lowest weight ever, that I will gain a lot really fast. (if that makes sense)Quote:

Hi Temerity,
Welcome and congratulations on your positive [emoji3]
How long were you swaying? The way I understand that even if you have a few slip ups it's still OK if you were 'good ' for the majority of the time. Will you find out what gender you are having or will you wait for a surprise?
How are you feeling?

I haven't cooked properly all week and my husband cooked outside on the BBQ today to keep the house smell free.

Thanks Sun!
I had only just started in February, although I have been losing weight over the last 7 months. I really wasn't anticipating conceiving so quickly, as my first two each took over a year :)
That was really thoughtful of your DH to cook outside. I'm not really experiencing any MS just yet, but I expect to start in the next week or so. So I feel pretty good so far :)
Welcome Temerity! I think you have a good shot at pink!!
Sunbuny- you have a thoughtful DH!
How is everyone feeling??

Sounds like a good sway to me [emoji3]Quote:

Sunbuny- I know what you mean! I have been sick since week 4 and it has gotten worse since week 8. I am 8 weeks 4 days and have to take a third tablet of Diclegis this morning to get me through until tonight when I take my usual two tablets. I ended up throwing up twice yesterday! I can't be doing that when I am home alone taking care of my boys!
Hope everyone else is doing well or hanging in there too!!

Ugh! I'm so sick [emoji20]! Trying not to wish time away, since this is my last pregnancy, but I'm looking forward to feeling better! This is rough!
