Pregnancy Info HOME

Just a little update - im 21 weeks today, due first week in October but who knows which day as the regular scans im having keep changing it! So im sticking with every saturday to change my week. Still have low amniotic fluid and baby boy is still hanging in there. Were thinking of Tyler as the name, but like Malachi and Dylan too. Ok, lets have some updates girls! x x

I'm 20 weeks today - According to the Doc I'm due Oct 13th so I'm sticking to every Sunday to change my week : ) I go for my u/s on May 30th - YAY! I'll be happy with whatever God blesses us with, as long as it's healthy. But I would just love a little boy - then I'll have one of each. As far as the names... We'll have to name it after my father-in-law if it's a boy - Ignazio (Nazio for short) not to crazy about the name. If it's a girl, I'm opting for Michela. I mentioned this on the other Oct Mom's forum - are we all moving over to the "Third Trimester" topic once we're around our 26th week??

Hey Miss P, I don't know how you stand it being on bedrest. I'm supposed to be having my feet up most of the time because of this vein problem I am having, and it is not easy to do. Well plus I have two other kids, so let's get real here. About my husband, he was diagnosed 1 1/2 years ago with brain tumours, he has two in the two different sides by the time they found it, so there was no operating, said they couldn't. Gave him a year to live. He did radiation and he still does chemo 5 days out of every month. We were told we would have to sperm bank, but as we already had two kids decided that was ok, we were done. Well low and behold if he didn't pa__s the one year mark, he's still working, looks better than before he was diagnosed, and gets me pregnant! My miracle baby. IF you want to read my husband's story girls it's at typicallycanadian.com, just enter the site and click on the stories. His name is Bob, he's the firefighter. Take care everyone.

Hello ladies! I hope you are all doing well.Since we have a new thread, I figured I'd post all my info again as a refresher. I am 27yrs. old- will be 28 next month, from Jersey, divorced, & have a wonderful 8yr. old son- who will be 9 next month. I am with the most amazing man now & we are expecting a baby girl, Gianna Bella. I will be 21 weeks on Wednesday. Can't wait to be in the 3rd tri!

Hello to all October Mommies 1&2!:) I am 19 weeks with my first baby! I found out that it's a little guy! I'm so excited to meet him! His name will be Russell Nicholas after his Dad and Grandpa. We will call him Rusty for short. Miss P, Tyler and Dylan are both really nice names. CatsMommy, you have the right idea, as long as it's healthy. I though I wanted a girl but now that I know it's a boy, I feel so happy! Saird, you really are having a little miracle! I will keep your husband and family in my thoughts and prayers.

Saird - I read the story about your husband. How moving! You are one strong girl... you keep it up! It has to be hard being on bedrest, especially with everything else going on in your life. Hats off to you! My prayers will always be with you and your family.

Hey all, Im 22 weeks tomorrow. I am married to the best husband ever and he is in the army. We have a 2 year old son and I am due technically Sept 30 but I just post here because when I started I couldnt find any september mommies! Everything has been going fine for us so far.

hi...i am 19 weeks pregnant. i am 16. i am scared yet excited. i am due 0ct 17 and i am with my boyfriend. we live together and were doing really good.

EJ - we've got less than 4 days to go before our u/s. I'm on pins and needles until I have the u/s done - I want to ensure everything is growing as it should. Youngbabymamma - welcome aboard. Wow... 16 years old. Lots of luck to you : ). I don't know about you ladies, but it was like a free for all on Memorial Day! I couldn't stop eating! It's like something comes over me when I'm pregnant and I feel the need to eat ANYTHING that comes under my nose!

HI LADIES!!!! Goodness lots of chatter this weekend! So many great things going on! I am 19.5 weeks due Oct 18th (but they won't confirm this time until Friday-YAY CATSMOMMY- I can't wait!!!!!) I wish it were today! My little bean is moving a lot now....I think it is a girl just because the kicks are so dantie until like my son's big wallops!!! :) We won't be finding out! Oh healthy is all I want -Catsmommy I am with you...I just want that rea__surance that all is well in there! Saird I am going to read your story right now/ MissP(Sarah) hang in there girlfriend- hopefully this will let up a bit...bedrest has to be the pits. We had an awesome Memorial weekend. My husband took Friday off (I don't work fridays) and we went to the zoo with our little man, then played games all weekend, took naps, did some things around the yard, grilled a lot. It was a perfect weekend! I am feeling great! That's about all to report!!!!

Saird, I can't find his story? Is it under another name than Bob?

ej, it's under Firefighter Bob. Patience, I think I may have to disagree with you, I think I have the best husband ever!! Haha. Youngbabymama, nice to have you aboard, you certainly are starting early! Is everything going ok for you? Catsmommy, thanks for reading the story, cancer has really changed our lives for the better, oddly enough. Is anyone here going to use cloth diapers? I know I will, I feel like we kill the earth enough as it is. Just wondered if anyone had any experience, there are so many kinds!

Saird I am so sorry- I don't know what my problem is...I am going under stories and can't see Bob. You guys are so amazing and strong! I admire your wonderful att_tude!

Hi just thought I'd pop by & say hello if that's ok as I'm due in October - 22nd :-) This is my 2nd baby I have a 20 month DD Grace who is our little answer to prayer after going through 3 miscarriages before she came along. My 12wk scan showed slightly too much nuchal translucency fluid at baby's neck so that has un-nerved us a bit but while it's scary that there's a risk something might be wrong, they also told us the chances are that baby is perfectly healthy so we're staying positive that baby is ok. Everything else looked good other than the fluid at the neck. Declined an amnio as don't want invasive testing. Got my 20wk scan on 6th June can't wait but nervous too. My bump is growing fast which is lovely :-) It's nice to meet everyone - did someone mention cloth nappies? We use them with Grace - got them from totsbots.com (a UK website mind you so might not be best for US girls?) they're called bamboozles and are made of bamboo! They're so lovely & soft and easy to use (fasten with velcro with elasticated legs & waist) and she wears an outer cover to protect her clothes. You use a biodegradable liner inside which you flush down the loo when you change the nappy and they just machine wash very easy. She's worn them since she was born & they're fab. They come in 2 sizes so she's in size 2 now leaving the size 1 nappies ready for our new baby to use come October as will likely be a small overlap before Grace is potty trained. They seem expensive when you buy them as you pay a big amount in one go but work out cheaper over time especially if you have more than one child. I'm not a hard & fast environmentalist & if they hadn't worked out we'd have used disposables but I was glad they did work out as I think they're fab :-) Anyhoo I'm rambling sorry! Hi everyone! xxx

Welcome Alison- How exciting!! Good luck with everything and I am sure all is great! You have such a positive att_tude!

Thanks ejmeskan :-) I try to be positive I just have my "moments" here and there where I feel scared but I push the thoughts away and say a prayer for baby which helps me feel better :-) I see our due dates are quite close how exciting your scan is on Friday just 3 more sleeps! Thanks for the welcome all the girls here sound so friendly it's lovely to "meet" you all! BTW I live in Scotland and just turned 30 last week! xxxx
