September 2013 babies!!

[luvalittleman]

I've just realised I'm here as well! By LMP I'm due on the 30th although I know I didn't ovulate till day 17/18 but I tend to go into labour before my due date (well, I've had 38, 40 and 39 week onset of labour) so the end of Sep is as good a date as any.

I'm six weeks tomorrow and so far so good - I have weird vertigo but minimal sickness (yet). I'm tired but micro rests help. My big girls are both at school now so that helps. I'm determined not to stack the weight on this time round, I put on loads with DD3 which did all come off but it took a while. Hopefully less sickness will help as I won't be constantly stuffing myself to keep my blood sugar stable. I miss running already and I had great ideas about gentle jogging in the first trimester but I feel too unsteady. I think I'll aim for getting out for a 30-40 minute walk 4-5 times a week and maybe a few swims. I just get so lethargic when I'm preggers.

Meeks, I know two people who had bleeding like you're describing. The first had a roller coaster of rising betas on blood test only for the pregnancy to fail after a week and the other had a stupidly low HCG on first test (like 16) only to have great rises and go on to have a normal pregnancy.

Hoping for the latter!

Meeks, Am sorry for the rough ride you've had. Hang in there.

Mum23, I am about 4 weeks ahead of you (due 1/09) and in the same boat. Have 3 little girls (2 off to school and 1 at home). Am desperately hoping this last one is a little boy. I am having my Nuchal and CVS in 2 weeks today (CVS because I am 39) and am feeling nervous already!! I have had some vivid dreams this time - it's a boy but there's problems...it's twins....I obviously have more anxiety with this baby.
So far I have turned into a food monster which was not the case with the other three pregnancies. Only put on between 12kg - 15kg with the girls who were all just under or just over 4kg. This time I have developed an intense fondness for big macs (seriously may have been 5 years since I had one previously) and meat, salty foods, pickles, mashed potato....previously it was chocolate with the girls but that does nothing for me at all now.
I have also had constant nausea for about 8 weeks now which I didn't have previously...all looks good on paper but there's several mums on here that will swear they had completely different pregnancies/cravings and same sexes so who knows.
Anyone on here have a strong gut feeling about if their sway is successful?
I have been sure 3 times now I was carrying a boy so I have learnt NOT to listen to my intuition.

Thanks ladies, my preg test was negative today so it appears I did loose it, maybe it just took a while for the hcg to drop. My temps are still up but craving said hers took almost a week to drop then she o'd immediately. So we'll see.

I'll leave you here but good luck for all your pregnancies and pink dust to those who swayed pink, I have lots of blue dust for those who need it too!

Sorry hun, We'll see you soon though. Good luck for the doc tomorrow x x

I'm 39 too! We live near an awesome radiology centre for "high risk" women so at this stage if the nuchal and bloods are reassuring I probably won't do a CVS or amnio. It's one of those places where you get scanned and then see a fetal medicine specialist afterwards. I may still change my mind though!

I have an overwhelming fear of twins as well, four I can cope with, I think cos three is going OK and I'd love DD3 to have a friend close in age but five would tip me over. I'm reassured by how I'm not feeling big though, my friends with twins complained they felt big by now so FX.

I can't believe how little morning sickness I have - so different to the others - but I'm trying not to over interpret every little thing. I hope we're both having boys though.

Ugh I am going to gain so much weight if I don't throw food away!!! So we had a Super Bowl party at our house last night and I ate SO MUCH food! I figured it would be ok to do for one day, the problem is we have a LOT OF FOOD left over, and if I allow it to stay in my house, then I will gain weight way too fast!!! I have left over Brownies, lots of candy, Spinach Artichoke dip, chili con queso dip, lots of chips, pistachios (yum I love) and much much more..... I need to invite more people over tonight just to eat my food!!!! I really want to keep my weight in check with this pregnancy because I gained so very much with my last pregnancy!

I'm salivating reading your post Thorz....

I have a gut feeling im carrying a boy this time. I dont know why, But I dont want to get my hopes up so I keep telling myself this is a girl. The waiting is killing me though!

I feel I am having a girl......but I am afraid to totally rely on my gut feeling, I don't want to get my hopes up..... I hope you are right with yours!

I'm eating for Britain right now. Today I've had

2 pieces of toast
three (yes, THREE!) tuna, mayo and sweetcorn sandwiches - to be fair they were on small 100 calorie flatbread rolls.
quarter of a banofee pie (minus the cream)
half a pizza with chips
fortune cookie and chocolate mini eggs!

To be fair today's been a bad day - I sold my beloved car and I've been VERY upset by it. I didn't want to sell it, I honestly loved it, but it was costing a third of its value every year in road tax and insurance, then probably another third in repairs and fuel!

I miss you Brutus!

Lovely car Northern, can understand your sadness at it going!

I give up!!!! I am not going to cook for my children anymore!!! I try my hardest to find food that they will like, and then I make them something that I think, "for sure they are just going to gobble this up!" But in reality they wont even touch it!!! I guess they can just live off of PB&J for the next 5+ years, it will be easier on all of us!!! Sorry I just had to vent!!!!
