My due date was to oct.16 Unfortunately i m/c for the 3 time and this time it was worse than the other. A blighted ovum. Congrats on your pregnancy and happy nine months.

by Nickey1, Mar 24, 2008 03:11PM
Jenny5 - so sorry to hear about your m/c, I know how difficult this has to be for you.

by Nickey1, Mar 24, 2008 03:15PM
I too am due October 16th, I guess I know which week we were busy, LOL;.......I'm not starting to show yet, WELL I started with a few extra pounds, so I'm sure it won't show as soon as it would if I were smaller, but since I didn't have that many extra pounds, I'm guessing around my 4th month it'll start showing.  I generally carry pretty big.  I have a daughter that I was HUGE by my 4th month, and I m/c in June at 17 weeks, and I was huge then as well, so I'm enjoying the NOT showing while I can; however, I'm NOT enjoying being dogg tired, it's like NO amount of sleep is enough......and I'm feeling really bad because I'm not eating much at all.......I really TRY and I force myself, but I just don't have an appetite AT ALL, I do take my prenatal vitamins faithfully, I figure that's the least I can do right now.......but I feel sooooooooo guilty that I can't eat, I KNOW I'm not providing proper nurishment to my unborn, I just hopes that it gets better

Hello, I am due Oct 24th.  I am not growing out of my clothes yet but I have gained 3 or 4 pounds which is freaking me out!!!!  I gained 38lbs last preg and I hope I don't gain that much this time.  I just stay hungry all of the time!!!!!

Hello,

I'm due October 29th, I have a 3 year old boy (4 in July), and a 10 month old boy. This is our 4th pregnancy. I have gained 6lbs.  I'm hungry all the time. I have no morning sickness, never had with any of my pregnancies. The first one I gained 55lbs, and the second one 38lbs.  Now this one is making me scared. I'm only 8w6d. I need to really watch what I eat or I will be a balloon in no time.  My jeans are already too tight and I bought a dress for easter.  It was from sears and the new style, kinda like a bell dress, well at church a lady asked if I was pregnant.  I could have cried because I should be showing already but my waiste is huge.  I look 5 months. I don't know if it is b/c it is my fourth and I'm already 20lbs overweight from the last pregnancy.  And no it is not twins... lol.  I've had 2 u/s already.  I don't know what I will do.  My boss will kill me when I return to work 13 weeks pregnant.

How many children have all you had? Is this your first?

I'm due Oct. 20th.  I'm just starting to wear maternity pants.  I'm only 110 lbs normally, and now am 117 lbs.  Because I'm thim, I definitely look pregnant.  This is my third.  Oldest is 21, my other is 15.  This is a new marriage.  My husband has never had children.  We're so happy, but anxious to make it to that 12 wk mark!

i will be 12 weeks in 2 weeks and i get to hear the baby's heart beat today

by kazwel, Mar 25, 2008 11:53AM
Hi Ladies,

I am due Oct 16th also.  I have started wearing maternity pants already even though i am not really showing,  they are just so much more comfortable..  With my 1st preg 8 yrs ago i gained 17 lbs.  So hopefully this pregnancy will be about the same.  i havent gained any weight  I've actually lost a few lbs but the dr said it wasnt anything to worry  about.

i heard the heartbeat today and it was amazing..did anyone else get to hear their baby heartbeat

by ChrisHealy, Mar 25, 2008 06:07PM
To: eimperati
I heard the baby's heartbeat at 8wks.  It really made it all seem real.  I'm going for the nuchal transparency u/s sound a week from Wednesday.  It's supposed to be very detailed.  Does anyone know if they'll be able to tell the sex by then?  I'll be 11 wks 3 dys.

by eimperati, Mar 25, 2008 06:08PM
To: chrishealy
not likely to be able to tell the sex at that time..usually around 15 or 17 weeks

by Nickey1, Mar 26, 2008 10:38AM

I'm due October 15th. I'm so glad I'm not the only one to be showing already ... this is my first pregnancy and I was thinking it was too early but my clothes were so tight that I had to go shopping at the weekend for maternity pants ... I'm so much more comfortable now! :)

I hope everyone is doing well.
