Anyone due October???

Hi. I'm new here, just signed up.
I am due somewhere between 16 Oct and 18 Oct. My midwife says 18 but every site on the web that has due dates say 16 so we shall see. I have 2 kids, 17 year old girl and a 5 year old boy.
I am 9 weeks one day pregnant. I had 2 miscarriages last year, both were 4 weeks 5 days so I'm sure this little miracle will stick around.
I would love to talk with other mums and mums to be.

Hi. I am new here too. I have only just finished posting messages on a wedding message board and now here I am! Our surprise honeymoon baby is due on the 22nd October!! Very exciting, but scary as this will be our first.

If every thing goes well...I am due 31 October 2005.

Hi Roksana. Congrats
So you must be around 7 weeks?
How are you feeling?

Hehehe... what is it about January that produces October babies?

My birthday is Oct 24, my husband is Oct 2. I know in my case it was my Dad's 23rd birthday (Jan 20) and I suspect Nathaniel was a New Years Eve conception, but I haven't had the courage to ask my mother-in-law that yet! Our wedding anniversary is Jan 5, so we might end up with an October baby ourselves at some stage!

Hi Roksana.
Lucky you having a scan so early. I've just had mine yesterday. Its wonderful to see bubs and know everything is going great. I'm 12 weeks 6 days today.
I've had morning sickness right from the start and always tired. I think the morning sickness is getting better though as I'm starting to eat my normal diet.
I finally went and bought some pregy jeans so I know I'll be more comfortable now. My normal jeans have been getting rather tight and I've had to have the top button undone for ages.

Hi again. Sorry its been so long(well it feels like a long time). I have had a lot going on which has been very stressful but I wont go into that right now.
The pregy jeans I'd bought, ended up being very painful and felt like they were cutting into my belly so I took the pair I hadn't worn back and went shopping again. This time, I went into pumpkin patch and found the people in there very nice and helpful. I bought 2 pairs of incredibly comfortable jeans, that looked exactly like jeans(to the untrained eye) but they are super stretchy and have a zillion adjustments so you can change them as your belly grows. They were $50 each, which is not a bad price, considering my normal jeans cost,on average, $70 each. The only thing I don't like about them is, they are flared at the bottom(I think they're called bootleg), Its not a major and I will just take them in. As for tops, I've always liked baggy tops so dont need to buy any of those.
That must have scared the hell out of you when you started to bleed. I've read that can happen, with those type of scans.
Yep, saw bubs moving heaps. Hubby said with all that moving around, how could I not feel bubs. Even my midwife is asking if I can feel bubs. Maybe I have, and not realized.
Hi Becca.I. I was really hoping to get pregnant in January as I've had 2 pregnancy's where I was huge right in summer and found it sooooo uncomfortable so I was even more happy knowing I wont have to suffer through summer again.

Roksana, your appointment was yesterday, how did it go?
I've finally worked out how my midwife got the due date of the 18th Oct. Its from ovulation date. If I go by my last period, the DD is 16th but ovulation DD is 18th. I know its only a couple of days differance but its important to me to know the right date. Mind you, with my 2 prevous pregnancys, I was a week early on both so it might be the 9th to 11th.

grrr, this make me so angry. I had wrote this long reply and when I went to post it, another page came up saying I must be logged on to post messages, I WAS LOGGED ON, so I lost everything I'd wrote. That has happened so often. Some times, it only takes a minute for me to write something, go to post it and that happens. Please, anyone got any idea WHY.
Any way, I'll try to remember what I wrote.
Thats great news your appointment went well.
Because of the risk of miscarriage, for the first 9 weeks, I wasnt allowed to do anything, nothing, nada. Not even get close to hubby(if you get my meaning). Then up to 12 weeks, I was only allowed to do a little bit, but only very light dutys. Even now I have to be very carefull, but even though its frustrating the hell out of me, its worth it in the end because I'll get to finally hold my bubs. Did you get a photo of the scan?
My next midwife appointment is 26th of may and I'll be nearly 20 weeks. Then, on the appointment after, is the tour around the hospital.
I think I'm coming down with a cold or flu. I've got a sore throat and my nose is starting to block up. Oh well, it has been 4 months since my last, whatever. Last year I had 7 colds/flu. It wouldnt be so bad if I recovered like other people seem to but mine drag on for over a month. 2 weeks full on cold/flu, then at least another 2 weeks with the snuffels.
Thats enough moaning from me

Yes, it is getting really cold. We've had frosts 2 mornings in a row and there is already snow on the hills. I've had the heater going this morning. Wouldnt be so bad if I felt like we'd had a summer. There was only a couple of weeks max, that it sort of felt like summer. Even my autumm flowering plants havent flowered yet and wont now because they've been frosted.
I'm not feeling very well, as I've diffenatly got a cold and I broke a tooth in the weekend. I cant get an appointment with the dentist so they have put me on a cancelation list. As for my cold, they say I can take panadol and a saline nasal spray to help with the snuffels. Oh well, hopefully it wont last long.

That is really sad you didnt get a photo of the scan, when is your next scan? I'm sure it is only to monitor your BP. Easy to say but, try not to worry too much.
