October 2013 babies!

[Pangea]

Lolainlove, I have heard that spotting in pregnancy is more common with boys, maybe it's a boy. Good luck for your scan!

Strawberrymom congrats on seeing the heartbeat!

Kiara I'm feeling down too. I think the nausea is to blame, I feel like I can't do anything.


I'm tempted to book a private early scan. My first appointment at the hospital isn't until the 8th of April, I'll be 13+3. It's expensive though, €99. We don't really have the money to spare but I would love the reassurance.

Pangea...that is interesting about the spotting possibly meaning boy!?! I spotted a lot w BOTH my boys... I had a gush of clear fluid on sat evening but nothing major so I'm not sure what that was??
My MS is not actual getting sick, but just feeling like it 24/7. YUCK! It just started at 6 weeks. Has it slightly w DS1 then more so w DS2. So not sure if this means anything for me or not.
I'm still exhausted too. Anxiously waiting for 2nd tri to feel better!

Re the spotting, I know that sounds like an OWT but there may be something to it, because boys for some reason are more likely to be placenta previa than girls are (may have to do with Ramsi theory) and this can cause spotting. I think my one pg with twins was B-B because the twin who didn't make it was PP. Had a lot of spotting with that pg and a beautiful boy at the end.

Good luck Lola!

1st tri is a nightmare isn't it lol!!
I have a new multi-greens powder coming today hopefully. I stopped taking the one I used to sway because it had some added extra herbs which I wasn't sure about taking during pregnancy, so hopefully I will be able to report later if it has lifted me or not, I have really dropped in energy and mood since I totally cut it out, which reminds me, I may have to get Atomics opinions on them for pregnancy?

Message me with a link, since I am finding it impossible to keep up with everything lately!

Thanks for the input everyone- that actually makes me excited because I'd love for this baby to be a boy since we have 2 girls (mine from previous marriage) but I just want healthy mostly. The spotting has stopped, it's here and there, but it freaks me out with a history of m/c of course.

Yea- the nausea is pretty hard to deal with especially when working!!! I couldn't care less about anything at work these days and am annoyed when anyone asks me to do anything. And I don't know about you ladies with #3 or higher, but I'm pretty poochy already. Started to wear that belly band with my pants.

I had spotting throughout my pregnancy with DS1

[Lld2006]

I am totally already pooched out...and this is my third. A random little girl said to be today " what's the baby's name?" while pointing at my stomach! I could have died! Ack!

Interesting what atomic said about boys and spotting! Fingers crossed I have no spotting this time, lol! Still curious what the clear fluid out of nowhere was. Hmmm

[My Three Sons]

Yeah, this is #4 for me and I am pooching out already. I am still wearing my same clothes, but my displaced fat, as I call it, is up above my pants a bit. I know the baby is too small right now to actually be the baby, but I feel my uterus getting bigger and the stuff that is normally there has to go somewhere! Add the bloating and I look several months.

I am so tired. Really tired, can't keep my eyes open tired. It seems like I hit a brick wall around noon, but I am going to bed super early.

My MS isn't too bad now. I think it was worse with DS3, but ask me on a different day and I might have a different answer.

My other major symptom is I am a real b!tch. For reals. I have always gotten mad easy, not crazy mad or anything, but still, and now I go on and on about stuff. I told my boss that I am turning into a b...lol...she didn't negate it. LOL. At least she understands.

On to sex. Nonexistent. Poor DH couldn't keep up when we were TTC, how he can't get any. LOL. Between being tired and just not in the mood, it's just not happenin. He even bought me roses the other day just cuz, and he still didn't get any noogie. Maybe in the second tri...

[Kiara]

The doctor I went with prescribed a medicine for nausea but I cant take it because I get soooo tired and like a zombie when I take it. Vitamin b has helped me a lot I think (you never know if its that or something else but I do think its the vitamin b) I take a pill before I go to bed and im better in the morning than I was before. Today I feel better than I have in a long time but yesterday I had a lot of nausea in the morning. So maybe it depens on the day

[LolaInLove]

I had a good ultrasound today and the baby looked great, thank goodness!

LOL, MyThreeSons, I feel like I have the exact same belly situation- everything is pushed up and it looks like a bump already!

We haven't had sex for a while either....I always feel either dead tired or sick in the evenings, but I think my ms is easing up slowly but surely too.

Kiara, have you tried those sea bands for motion sickness? Those ROCK!
