Due Sept/Oct/Nov 2016

Wow... this really is a quiet group!!

How is everyone feeling? Where are we on upcoming scans, tests and appts?

AFM, developed a serious case of heartburn last night. Trying to avoid having to go back on my GERD meds as I have been doing pretty well without them and the less I can take the better for baby. I already have to take Imodium daily but decided that dehydration is much more dangerous for bean than taking a B class medication.

My next appt is a week from today! I am hoping so hard that they go ahead and do my scan that day! I am so eager to see bean again. I am also a little scared there won't be a hb but trying my hardest to look at all the positive signs I've had/am having and trying to ignore my fears. No matter the outcome this is it for us. I will never be pregnant again. So I am trying to enjoy it as much as possible.

Oh and another thing that might get the convo going in here: What is the weirdest or most unexpected thing that has caused you to tear up or get upset of over?

The other day I caught myself tearing up over a stinking tire commercial hahahahahaha!

Your turn!

Hi Two! Thanks for keeping the convo going!! We are almost at the same spot and with similar miscarriage histories. I actually have been nauseous off and on the past few days - only at 5 1/2 weeks so seems so early for it to start. Thankful for the nauseousness this time I guess since I know that means something is in there! Still doing acupuncture so thinking that is helping with symptoms as well. With my DD didn't start until 6 weeks which is Sat. for me. My sister was sick with all 3 of her pregnancies - DS, DD, DS - so must run in the family or something.

My HCGs were tested on Monday again this week and still doubling. I go to get my first scan Monday - praying for HB as well...since my last two pregnancies never got past the 6 weeks stage since one was a missed miscarriage. A little nervous too to have the same lady that scanned us for the missed miscarriage and couldn't tell us anything but could tell something was wrong...what a terrible day. But thankful for where we are at today. I don't really feel pregnant since we haven't told family or friends that we are yet... Glad I can share a little bit on here! Will update you guys on Monday night how it goes!

As far as emotions go...I almost started crying when my husband had to go back to work today...just feeling a little down/ lonely I guess...like I want my mom to come visit so we can play cards or something. lol Probably the weather as well! Tired of the cold midwestern winter!

I'm just quiet as I'm just worried I will miscarry again. I lost all that positivity I had earlier! I'm tempted to test with a frer to see it my control line starts fading but scared it will be a really faint test line.

Last night I went to take my metformin after dinner and I think I took my vitamins instead! I couldn't really remember what I did... total baby brain moment!

I have been feeling a bit more emotional but can't think of anything in particular.

My scan is in just under 2 weeks so I'm counting down.

My test looks like the opposite of the 11dpo one now. So a dark test line and light control... hopefully I can relax now :)

Hi everyone. Good to hear everyone is well. Sending out sticky vibes to all those who are worried about their little bubs. I haven't tested again since 10dpo and won't see my dr to tell him I'm pregnant for another couple of weeks. I had a small wave of nausea this afternoon. I'm only 4+3, so that is pretty early for me to get ms. I hope it doesn't kick my butt, because I have three kids to care for and I don't have the time to get sick.

Two, how come your taking Imodium if you don't mind my asking? I agree it's better to take some medication that get too dehydrated. You are no good to yourself or your baby if your body is that ill.

Purple, fingers crossed you are ok Hun. Sticky dust to you.

crd, I've been having some breakouts too. On my chin and cheeks. I remember I had it with DS2 aswell. I wish I knew what could help! My skin always reacts with hormones...

Two, good luck with your next appt! Oh heartburn is horrible. I had it very bad with DS1.

BlueBear, good to hear your hcg is doubling! Good luck with your scan!

purple, it's good that your test line is darker than control! Hopefully you can relax and start thinking positive again.

Bella, hopefully the nausea doesn't get too bad. It is hard to take care of kids when feeling sick.

I've been feeling a little bit better for three days. I still get sick and feel nauseous but not as bad as before. It was just horrible. I hope the worst part is over. I was feeling depressed as I was feeling so sick and couldn't do anything. I was really struggling. But now I'm feeling more positive again.

I have my scan and NIPT in ten days! I'm counting! We were discussing about finding out the gender with DH. DH is ok with either way. I'm still trying to decide what to do. Part of me would love to be team green as we never have done that but now that we will get NIPT done it would be so hard not to find out! Also I think it's best for me to hear it's a boy before birth so I can adjust to that. But what a lovely surprise it would be if it was a girl and hear it at birth! I don't know what to do lol.

It's weird. First when I found out I was pregnant I was sure it's a boy. But now I've been having these feelings it might be our girl. And then the next day I think it has to be a boy. Uhhh... I wish it wasn't such a big deal for me.

Hi Bella29 - I have ms early this time, too! I was dry heaving this morning and I'm not even 6 weeks yet! I did get a Rx for Zofran today - just so I can function at least with work and parenting! Nervous to be taking it but I took it with my DD too. However, then I waited until 13 weeks bc I only worked online and could lay in bed all day - it was great! lol!! With her, it started at 6 weeks. I think there is just a lot of HCG in my body at the moment!!

I'm still dealing with hyperemesis. It's starting to improve, but it's not gone. I'm flying back from Costa Rica today and am so uncomfortable because I got a bad sunburn snorkeling on Tuesday. Blah.

I keep going back and forth on what I feel the twins are. I feel certain they are girls, or at least one pinky, and then distraught that I can't be that lucky. Like, serious panic attack type. I was that way when I was pregnant with DD too, and then doubted it the whole time no matter how many confirmations I had. When she was born I still doubted it somehow despite the proof being right in front of me. LOL

Because my brand of ms at this point (may change down the road) is nausea and loose, frequent stools. Occasionally I will feel nauseated to the point of feeling like I am going to be sick but mostly the other.

That sucks! Had that with my oldest. It was awful. If I so much as lifted my head off my pillow I got sick. Sitting up or standing was even worse. I feel for you :(

Oh you poor bugger two! That sounds horrid.

Bunny girl I was that way with my little boy last time. I so desperately wanted a boy. I found myself freaking out about whether the baby was ok and had extra scans. In hindsight I think it was all gender related. I am glad I found out so that if it hadn't have been a little boy I could have been prepared. I usually go team green. This time we will again I think.

can i ask what team green is ? Is it the same as team yellow ?

Yellow is you will find out but don't yet know the gender.
Green is your not going to find out till birth, surprise gender.

Sorry for thread crashing but I follow this thread hoping to join it one day! FX [emoji92]

How are you ladies doing? Morning sickness has really set in here - hoping I can function personal training clients tomorrow. I do get my scan tomorrow afternoon - so something to look forward to!!

I'm worried about some spotting I have. It is really not much at all, just CM with red in it but I'm sure that is how it started last time. I never had a single spot with both boys so now I'm sure this one isn't going to end well. Not much I can do but wait and see. Still just over 8 days until my scan. Sorry... not feeling positive today :(

Hang in there purple! How far along will you be at scan? Is there any chance they will move it forward or do an additional earlier one given your history?

I will be 7wks. My dr appointment is this Saturday to get the referral so I can't really go in sooner as it is too hard to get appointments with my GP. I will just wait it out.

Praying for you purple. I know that has to be very worrying. I hope the spotting will stop for you. I go to the doc on the 29th this month counting the days. When you find out very early feels like forever.

I am nervously joining you ladies. I took three blue dye tests and one dollar tree pink at 12dpo and 13dpo and then took another blue and pink the next day but the pink was negative. I thought might be a chemical. I took frer on 17dpo and that was a strong bfp so I did another on 18dpo again bfp.
Praying for a sticky bean, I am due October 18. I have always wanted a fall baby :)

Purple, I did not spot with first three boys but I did with the fourth and he just turned 5 :)

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Welcome mt :)

No spotting since yesterday now.. hopefully it was nothing. I have lower backache but I think that is normal for pregnancy even if it feels pms like? I'm slowly getting some nausea but not much yet.

I had my NT scan today, which came back low risk. Baby A measured 12w0d with NT of 0.9 mm. Baby B measured 11w4d with NT of 1.1 mm.

Sounds good Bunnygirl!

Some more streaks of blood in my cm today. Trying not to stress :(

Hi purple. Had my scan today. Saw baby's heartbeat but have some small ablasions.?? in my uterus. I think is the word they used. Can cause spotting so maybe that is what happened with you?? I'm on pelvic rest but of course am now nervous about the next 6 weeks as well. First trimester is so tough.

Sent from my D5503 using Tapatalk

Bunny girl, congrats on your scan, those sound like good measurements.

Blue bear, I hope the ablasions don't cause any problems and you have a happy healthy pregnancy

Mt welcome! Congrats on your bfp

Twointow how are you doing Hun?

2xblue how are you going these days?

Purple thinking of you. I know I had spotting with the only baby I lost, but I also know that many many women have spotting without loosing their babies.

Afm I'm feeling nervous. I'm 5+1 today. 5 years ago I lost a baby at 5+5. It was an October baby too. It just makes me nervous because I don't have ms yet and I feel ok. A little tired and boobs a tiny bit tender, but that could be due to my 21 month olds desperate feeding lately. He has gone back to feeding like a newborn. Probably because my milk is going a bit. And I'm always tired a bit, because I'm a mum of three kids and that's just what happens, so it is hard to know what is happening and that makes me feel worried. I don't want to get ms, but it would be somewhat reassuring iykwim?

Welcome everyone who has joined us lately!! Glad this thread is picking up.

Purple- with my first I had spotting at about 7-8 weeks. It was right before my scan (too late for implantation) and they moved my scan up and everything was fine. Hope that happens for I as well. Take it easy until then. I also had spotting (light pink) with this baby 1 week after missed period.

AFM-I'm about 10.5 weeks. My first scan the baby was measuring 1.5 weeks behind so we release red 1 week later (I don't think I've updated u all since then-sorry!!) and the baby was right on track. The first week of March I go back to my dr. For a routine visit and get the first trimester screening done. This is a new dr for me and I find it odd they haven't even taken blood yet, just did a pelvic exam and sonogram.

Bunnygirl- glad the twins are doing good!!

So happy for all the new people who have joined us and fingers crossed everyone sticks around with healthy babies.

Ok, ms has died down a lot but trying to to let it worry me. I have other issues that are increasing so that helps. As I already mentioned there is the gas that could be used as a biological weapon lol ;) Also, my TTs are inreasingly sore to the point where they almost feel like Muhammad Ali has been using them for speed bags (the small punching bags). If something so much as grazes them it's painful. DH pinched one out of habit yesterday and it took everything I had in me not to punch him in the danglers lol. I'm still pretty tired... NO issues with insomnia lately which has been wonderful!!! but I am still tired all day so it feels the same, just not laying there frustrated that I can't sleep for half the night. My back is like 6 shades of sore, but that is mostly because of work. My appt is on Wen (day after tomorrow) and I am going to try to talk them into doing the u/s that day, but if not I am off on Thursday so that should be the latest I have to wait. Still very nervous about the u/s but eager as well so wanting to see my bean asap. The hard part is after that I'll have another 6 weeks to wait before I get another (@ 12 weeks).

As far as nursing, it sounds like your little one is "cluster feeding". They tend to eat veraciously like that just before and during a growth spurt. Hopefully you get some good, solid signs soon that help reassure you.

Thanks two. It does seem like cluster feeding. Although at 21 months I'd sorta thought he might have grown out of them. Take care of those girls of yours. I know my hubby has been put on a warning that he may well loose a hand if he touches them. I have enough to cope with just keeping my little boy from playing with my nipples. God help me!

Anyway I'm to bed. Thanks for the encouragement two. I'm sure it will be ok, it's just hard because I lost a baby this time five years ago that was an October baby too, so I think I am more anxious than normal.

Hi everyone! Got my BFP today!! I purchased a sway plan and attempted to sway girl -praying it worked! My lmp was Jan 21 so that would make my due date approx around Oct 27 -yay for fall and Halloween babies :)

Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

I hear you on the gas too twointow!! Ha! I have ms that lasts 20 hours, indigestion and heartburn that made me cry it was so bad last week. :( I'm exhausted and I'm napping at least 1.5-2.5 hrs a day in addition to sleeping at night. The past week has been hell in our house. My 6 year old got a stomach bug for the first time in his life and puked for 6-7 hours including on me and all over our bed, my beloved Granny was in heart failure and had open heart surgery (triple bypass) on Thursday (that was thankfully successful) but she's still in ICU and making trips 2 hrs away (and being in a hospital which always makes me feel icky) has taken my nausea to another level. I'm an eternal optimist that somehow thought I would escape ms this third go round but what the heck was I thinking?? It set in even earlier and the indigestion/heartburn is worse that it ever was with my previous pregnancies. This little one is definitely our last!!:3kids:

Purple I spotted with my first early on too and all ended well. I even went to the ER and they checked my cervix, it was still closed and my numbers were still high so they said it happens and to just take it easy. Sending you lots of positive thoughts!!

Congrats to all the new ladies!

Purple, hopefully it's nothing to worry about!

Bunnygirl, good to hear your twins are doing great!

Hopefully everyone is doing good.

Bella, thank you for asking I'm doing good. Nausea is not that bad anymore. Well still feel nauseous but it's getting better. I'm just waiting for my NT scan and NIPT test, only 4 days to go.

Is anyone else planning to get NIPT done?

Congrats on your BFP catie! I hope you have a pink bundle in the making.

I haven't had any spotting the last 2 days so hopefully it was nothing to worry about. I only have very mild nausea but I'm sure I didn't get it until later for DS1. My boobs are pretty painful but they were really sore last time too.

2xblue - I don't think we will get the NIPT done. I'm too scared to see a definite gender if it isn't what I want. I did have a dream the other night that I had the test and it was a girl.

Purple, I understand why you don't want to get the NIPT done. I'm scared too but I think I just need to know. I'm preparing to hear boy. But I guess no matter how much I'm preparing myself to hear boy it will be crushing to hear it. Hopefully your dream will come true!

I was just thinking about that test last night and how I will react to the gender portion. I will most likely get it as I am officially advanced maternal age this pregnancy (I am 37). Also I do not want to do the NT ultrasound as that was when we found out about the last miscarriage and I do not want to go back there again.

I long for the ignorant bliss that we felt when I was pregnant with my first son, not this afraid to dream and plan feeling that occurs after having losses.

Hi ladies. I'm cautiously optimistic about joining the group. I received my first beta today at 14dpo and it was 216 so I feel better.

I swayed boy and I'm really hopeful to not have to eat HE any more. My edd is 10/27. I've always wanted my maternity leave at Christmas time so this would be perfect.
