SEPT/OCT/NOV 2014 Roll Call!

Great news Mrs I! I bet you are relieved!

[WantingPink]

Good news Mrs I!! Seeing that first uls with the heartbeat and measuring correctly is very reassuring

I can't wait for my uls... I have been very on edge with this pg. Probably because I didn't have a period and it was the first time I ovulated. Just thinking I might not be hormonally up to speed (plus I am older). Just seems a little unreal to be able to get pg with no period and only DTD once!! My uls can't get here fast enough.

Yay for healthy bub Mrs I

Hope is everyone is doing well!
Happy Friday

I actually read through this whole forum to get to know you ladies better. I love the support that you guys give each other and I'm so happy to be on this forum with you! I am not going to tell my family about this pregnancy until I go for my 8 week scan on April 21st so it will be nice to have someone to talk to about things. My dh doesn't think I can wait that long to tell the family but this pregnancy is different than my other two...I was a lot more relaxed then (being in my 20s). Plus, I don't even feel the least bit pregnant yet...it was also good to see some of u feeling the same way with a good outcome.

Thanks again for the warm welcome!

I was also wondering if any of you are exercising or have exercised during pregnancy? What are some good exercises to do in the first trimester? Hopefully I can continue feeling pretty good and can continue to do some form of exercise to stay in shape.

Not sure on the exercise, sure someone will be able to help tho! Now that I've seen the hb I'd like to tell my family as I've kept them in the dark since I fell pg in January. Mainly because my sister had her miracle baby at 33 weeks and even tho he was doing well, I felt it was her time to be enjoying her babymoon without everyone worrying about me. I'm only 6 weeks and I know seeing the hb is no guarantee, however if anything were to happen I would need their support. As I now know there is a viable baby there and I wouldn't be able to keep that quiet the way I dealt with the blighted ovum, which was never meant to be unfortunately. If that makes sense? I guess I just want to unburden the past 12 weeks to the ones I love the most. My mum and sis will be annoyed that I went though this without them I think. But they'll understand why. I don't want to tell the boys until 12 weeks for the same reasons, I'm still scared of a loss but feeling far more optimistic (really, I am lol) x

Yay Mrs I! Seeing the hb is a very good sign that all is well so def. share with those closest and enjoy it!!

I don't exercise either...I know I should! I know any kind of moderate activity is fine like walking, slow jogging (if you had been doing it prior to pregnancy), bike riding, etc.

What is everyone craving? I have had the strongest craving for milk! CRAZY!!

[WantingPink]

I don't exercise during pg either. Wish I could. It makes my MS 10 times worse. Light walking is fine or house work or yard work but if I do a real workout forget it... puking!!

I wouldn't worry too much about having a baby a little later in life. I have been in my 30s with all my kids and so far (fingers crossed) they are all just fine. Being a little older does make me worry a little bit though so I know what you mean.

DH and I were just discussing today when we should tell people. We don't have our first uls till about 9 weeks and we probably won't tell anyone until after the MaterniT21 comes back. So for us it is probably going to be around Mothers Day. Not sure how happy our family is going to be. They were very excited with my DD since this is the only girl in my family and DH family however, both families have made comments about this baby being the last. I would like to think they would be happy but just not sure?? We have the money and we have NEVER asked our parents for a dime but my gut tells me they will think 4 is excessive. I guess we will see. My MIL comes from a family of 4 kids and my Mom and Dad come from a family of 3 kids. Seems like these days though everyone is having 1 or 2.

Anyone else scared to tell family because of the number of kids you have?

[Mrs_Incredible]

I think my family know we will have another, although comments have been made in the past about being done!! But it's our not so little family, and I guess we're stretched with the ones we have, what's another lol!? As long as me and dh are happy, I'm sure everyone else will be. Except my almost 18 year old stepson, he's an only child at home, and I'm sure will be a little embarrassed that his dad is having yet another child at his age lol xx

Wanting pink - yes! I am scared to tell some of my family. My mom knows and was great and DH's family knows and they are good too. They did make some silly comments in a joking way but I think that is just how some people process things. But, I have not told my dad and step mother. They thought 1 child was enough, was shocked when we had DS3, and will be horrified about this baby. They say all kinds of stupid stuff like, "how are you going to handle it when DS1 goes to college and the others don't", "you don't ever need to get pregnant again bc you could die". Those are just the top things I have heard! I am dreading telling them!!!
