September 2013 babies!!

They are bad enough to keep me in bed, and not do the dishes or even attempt to do anything productive. They are just like AF cramps and back cramps too!

That doesn't sound good! Maybe you should go get spchecked out I think it's better to be safe than sorry...they must be pretty painful to have you in bed... Have you tryed to drink a bottle of water to see if that helps... It usually helped my cramping

[Thorz300]

Yep I've been drinking a ton of water. I'm in bed because its 9pm and everyone is asleep in my house so I decided I'm uncomfortable enough that I should just rest. I'm sure ill be ok but if they get worse, or if there is bleeding or still going on tomorrow I might go get checked.

Ya if the pain is still there tomorrow this intense then please get seen...no blood is good... I'm sure it's just the uterus it's prob coming over the pubic bone now so hopefully just some stretching pains... Try not to worry too much easier said then done but you don't need the stress

Ugh I'm starting to worry that something might be wrong. I have no real reason, it's just because I've never gone this long without seeing the baby! Also my morning sickness and exhaustion are getting better, I know that could be due to the fact I'm nearing the end of the first trimester, but I've also heard a sign of mc is the loss of symptoms like ms and exhaustion. I don't have a history of mc I've never had one but there is always a first time for everything! Has anyone else waited until the 13th week before seeing the baby or even being seen by a dr? I did see the nurse practitioner and had my blood drawn at 9 weeks 3 days and it all came back normal. I'm getting anxiety over going this long without seeing the baby and now wondering if I should move my scan up a bit.

I understand how you feel. I will be 14+2 when I have my first OB visit and u/s! It's only because of a huge insurance snafu (long story that I won't bore anyone with). I know it's hard to wait for that reassurance of seeing the baby but I'm sure everything is fine. My first tri symptoms always began to fade around 9-11 weeks with my others. This one is the only one that has lasted into my 2nd tri.

EDIT: Just read on through the posts and saw about your cramping. I had some backache type cramps around that time too so hopefully it's just growth as Wanting said. Hope they're better tomorrow and all is well!

For those of you who are having their last pregnancy what is your plan for birth control?
My DH is getting the big V done...there is no way I'm havin more than four kinds I think four is a huge stretch to begin with but figured I would give ezra a sibling close in age...

We have discussed it some but haven't decided just yet. DH says he will consider getting the snip but I'm also willing to look at other options too (don't want a tubal though). It's been so long since I've used any kind of BC that I don't even know what's out there lol.

Thorz, I hope you are feeling better by now! Are you taking magnesium for the cramps? It really seems to help. But please get checked by a doctor. Like the others said, better be safe than sorry. Although don't worry too much. AF cramps are pretty common as far as I know. The uterus is growing and the feeling of that is just like AF cramps.
Hope you will be feeling better soon!

Yey! I've just moved the scan! I'll be 15+6 by my dates but 16+3 by scan dates, so hopefully they won't send me home!

Only 12 days left!!!!! Eeeekk!

When does that make it hun about 22nd? Oh v jealous had an extra scan on Friday due to cramping and she measured them as 13+6! So over a week ahead! Can't move my scan thou as dh off to India for work and he wants to come!

So excited for you xx

Thorz how are you feeling today, I spent 5hrs in a&e on Thursday due to cramping following twisting my back lifting ds2, labour ward told me to go in and see obstetrician. After 5hrs saw regular a&e dr who could only check my back and said obstetrician wouldn't see me till 20 weeks. Had a bit of an emotional moment and she booked me for a scan on Friday am both bubbas okay! Phew!

Guess I'm saying peace of mind is worth a lot even thou drs can't do much at this stage xxx

Wanting a girl assure big v is the snip, sending dh the minute these two are born or possibly sooner

Northern in that v unlikely situation they can reverse it ;-)

I was never a 4 child person whoops! Certainly not risking a fifth!
