*** October 2015 Mummies ***

[ChloeSmith]

Has anyone tried a Doppler yet? I had ago this eve but had no luck, but it's still early days - think I found it with DD around 10 weeks. Just so impatient to check everything is ok! Xxx

 

[KHTW]

Morning All!
I don't think I'll be buying a Doppler. I wouldn't want to panic every time I can't find the heartbeat

 

[stacesl3]

Bunnykins - what an awful experience for you hun, hope your feeling a bit better today x
Pumpkin - sorry you are still none the wiser, being in limbo is the worst, I still have everything crossed for a good result.

Hope everyone okay, does anyone feel like time is just standing still??? honestly I wish i could just sleep for a few weeks until my 12week, still not sure whether to have an early scan or just wait for my dating scan....decisions decisions.

 

[KHTW]

Stacesl, I used to complain about the time standing still. Now I look at my countdown app and see that my 12 weeks app is in 2 weeks time and I'm thinking SHIT! this is really happening I think we all just can't wait to be in Tri2 and that's why we are so impatient

 

[Pumpkin9]

Tri 2 is def the best tri. Less worry than tri 1 you start feeling better and get the glow. You can plan your nursery and buying all the baby bits that you need.

I can totally see why everyone is desperate to get there. Plus you'll have had your first scan to see baby by that point.

Hope the ladies with sickness are ok today

oohh I love a bit of OBEM! I briefly saw the ad for it last night and got in a panic, said to my OH 'oh my God is that on?! RECORD IT!' to which he replied 'I've already put it on series link' He's learning!

I'm debating asking him to watch it with me, what do you ladies think? Would you want your OH to watch it with you or do you think it's a case of ignorance is bliss??

Today I have decided I am having a 24 hour break from trying to follow the Slimming World plan as it doesn't seem to be agreeing with me, and so far I am loving it!!

 

[KHTW]

I wouldn't force my hubby to watch it with me. I wouldn't want him to start panicking so early and that is exactly what would happen

 

[Baby2sky]

Hi ladies had an eventful morning. A child came into school with chicken pox this morning. I know chicken pox can be harmful in pregnancy so cue me panicking. Phoned dr who said I need an immune test as my mum says I've never had it. Got to go in tomorrow morning. Really hoping I'm immune as it sounds scary if youre not. Cant go back to work till I know the results. I've only been back since Monday as well.

Hope everyone is doing ok. I think tri 1 has flown by! Cant believe I'm 12 weeks next week! Symptoms have cleared up too so feeling much more human again.

 

[Pumpkin9]

My hubby is squeamish so no chance of him watching obem. He was brilliant with my last labour and c-section though

 

[stacesl3]

Is anyone feeling exhausted or is it just me...?? honestly Im so tired all the time think this must be my pennance for not being sick!

 

[mumagain@37]

Stacesl3 - I am right with you on this one!! I put my boys to bed at 7.30pm and go up myself 10 mins later! never felt so sleepy!

 

[CarrieMarshall]

I'm with you too ladies, I've been tired from the get-go and just cant seem to shake it! I think I'm morphing in to a sloth......

Still managing to get to the gym, but nowhere near as much as I used to. I'm holding out for all my energy coming back in tri 2 as I have heard it will, then I will be back to normal. Not long, just need to push through!

 

[MrsMeaney]

Teeny Meaney number 2 is due on 28th October

 

[stacesl3]

My problem is i seem to be more tired during teh day when I'm at work lol I still dont go to bed until around 10ish and usually wake a couple of times in the night!

Congrats MrsMeaney

 

[Bunnykins]

We watched obem last night but they always pick people who come in early as everyone seems to be in labour lying down on their backs for days, my labour was different to that and not at all as it's shown on obem so we are watching it for the crying over the lovely wee babas rather than a labour prep

Edit- congrats Mrs meaney

 

[Bunnykins]

Had my booking in apt today, I was in for nearly 3hrs it was epic!! Luckily mw had all the blood results from my traumatic hospital stay so she could see everything was ok, she still took another 3 vials off me tho, feel like I've none left!!!
Apparently my hcg levels are ridiculously high so it could be twins (WTF!!!?????) and she thinks I'm a month further on than I think I am so I've got an early scan on Friday morning to help date me so I don't miss the nuchal scan window if I am further ahead than I think.

 

[Pumpkin9]

Blimey bunnykins!!! How exciting and scary all at the same time. How do you feel about the twins possibility?

 

[MrsS143]

Does that mean you might be leaving us for the September mummies thread?

 

[Bunnykins]

Honestly the twin thing terrifies me, I did want 3 kids but we said this was my last pregnancy as I can't take the sickness again so we settled on 2, and I'd be worried they would be more bonded with each other and not with my son and he'd be a bit left out if that makes sense! If it is though then I guess I was meant to have 3 afterall lol!!! I hope I'm not a Sept mummy as I'd miss you lovely October mummies and I reeeeally wanted a Halloween baby lol.
I'm really excited (and nervous) to see the scan though it will make this pregnancy seem real

 

[MrsS143]

So do you reckon you'll get an early scan then?
I hope mine turns out to be 2 lol
