Yes they do! And to Huggies, and one other place...can't remember which. But the clerk "assured" me that they don't "sell" it, but that those are "partner" companies. Ya, whatever! I still wouldn't give my info!

I feel so nauseous today. Bleck. I just feel really sick. I also am soooooooooo tired, but my kids don't stop. I love babies, and I need to concentrate on that.

I know I'm paranoid because I've had a previous mc, but I need to know how I can possibly get over this to enjoy my pg. I've wanted to be pg for a long, long time and I feel like all I'm doing is stressing over it.

Help.

I have the same fears and I haven't had a mc. I did have bleeding for 4 weeks with DS though. I have been going crazy and trying to tell myself that whatever happens happens, but it is not really that reassuring. I'm so glad I'm not the only one!

I ended up taking my temp this morning...I needed a higher temp to feel better...it was higher...phew! I also took a digital hpt last night and it was bfp so I feel better...there is something about seeing the word written out that makes it more reassuring...that company was very smart!

Today I felt nausea! That actually made me excited too! How twisted is that? Come on little bean...SPROUT!

I pm'ed the DDC moderator and she said that we should be getting our own DDC tomorrow
She asked me to start a roll call post and send her the link so that she can pin it when the club is created...I guess that means a post other than this one?
I guess I will go ahead and start it and make sure that you sub and/or post to it.
Ok thank you!

Ok I just asked for some clarification on weather we can use this post or a new one is needed and will update - and start the new one if needed - when I get it...

Happy Wednesday mamas and thanks for the warm welcome!

HeatherB -- I am now thinking of making baked potatoes for dinner! Mmmm, warm and creamy! Yum.

Matt'smom -- It seems like some more grief has come up about my m/c with this pg, and I find myself worrying a lot about m/c. I like what was said about focusing on what we want...really holding that vision!

Okay, ds is awake and needs some snuggle time. Later!

I got in with my homebirth midwives! :

YAY! We have a serious shortage of midwives in Victoria and I am just so thrilled to get back in with the wonderful women who helped me bring Logan into the world under the stars in July 2005.

First appointment in 2 weeks.

Baby Makes 4 ~ i didn't realise i'm not the only BC mama here! yay! You wanna talk about midwife shortages, check out the interior...there's ONE m/w serving the entire north okanagan/shuswap (hee hee, luckily i snagged her...)

I think I may be starting to mc. I have some bleeding, red blood, and cramping. but its not a lot of blood, and it only seems to come out when Im urinating. sorry if tmi, but has anyone experienced this? is it possible I may keep the baby? I wasnt planning to get pregnant but I cant help but feel so sad about this. I hope it passes.

I'm having a VBAC, too. DS was an attempted homebirth that ended up transferring to the hospital for c/s.

I'm getting mixed reports on whether our local hospital does VBAC, which usually means they say they do but don't, unless you show up with a baby falling out of you. So it'll be a homebirth most likely.

I'm much more nervous about birth this time than last time. I guess because now that I have a child, I know what is at stake, if that makes any sense. I know it's not rational. Thankfully I have 8 more months to psych myself up for it!

I'm wondering if I should just keep my HB plans under wraps. With DS, most family members thought we were loony risktakers. When I ended up with a c/s, I got alot of "I told you so" vibes. (My sister actually said, "Just think, if that had happened 100 years ago, you'd both be dead!" Grrr. ) I know this time they'll go balistic.

I'm so sorry. I've never mc, so I don't know what to tell you. I hope it's just a little spotting and stops soon.

mexicomommy, welcome!! I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you'll be here with us for a long, healthy pregnancy!

kitty waltz, I have no advice, but sending you !! I hope it's not a problem and resolves quickly.

gottaknit, yay for VBACs! There were some people we were more hush-hush about with our home birth - those who would worry incessantly! But I also tend to be fairly outspoken (in a quiet kinda way!) about our natural choices. Go with what feels comfortable for you!!

Woohoo for a DDC!! I would start a new thread that's just the roll call thread, as this one is pretty busy!

I have never had a m/c that I knew about at the time (that is to say, I later realized that I had a very early m/c), but still worry about. We started this fitness class on Monday and as soon as I got off the treadmill, I felt cramping and that sort of dribbling feeling, IFYKWIM! I tried not to freak but got to the bathroom ASAP. No problems and was probably (TMI) intestinal and not uterine feelings, but it did get me concerned! There are so many things to be afraid of when there are so many unknowns - like carrying a child you can't see or feel yet! But I know my God is not a God of fear, so I'm doing my best to trust Him and not be afraid! But I do alot of praying for the baby.

We are pretty much telling anyone and everyone at this point - 6 weeks now. I was at our mom's group this morning and several more people found out or told me they had heard. In our community, news definitely travels fast!

Well, I'm drinking as much as I can before we go to our next class. Hopefully we'll survive the first couple of weeks and get acclamated to the whole thing. It's definitely feeling a little overwhelming at this point! But so worth it if I can be in better shape to have this baby!

Blessings, mamas!

I just wanted to report for roll call for the DDC. My Due Date is tentatively 10/03/07. :

[mommy-X-2]

kitty waltz-- Im so sorry. You will be in my thoughts. I dont know about the peeing part but when I had my m/c the doctor told me that red blood isnt normally a good things. Have you called to see what your doctor thinks. I hope that everything is ok for you.

[kitty waltz]

thanks for all the kind words.

yeah that was my first thought when it started- that its red is a bad sign. {OT but I am my own doctor. my last pregnancy and birth was unassisted, as well.} Ive been bleeding all afternoon now, and Im sure its a m/c. the cramping is no fun.

so, I bid y'all farewell, and wish you all happy, healthy pregnancies, and peaceful births.

[Baby Makes 4]

sorry Sadie.

The "Big Brother In Training" T-shirt went over very well. The Iron on printable transfers from Wal-Mart worked very well. I even put October 2007 on the sleeve. Everyone seemed to get a big kick out of it, and it will be a fun story to tell DS when he's older about him telling the family we were having a baby. (There's a picture of DS in the T-shirt on our blog in my sig)

So sorry Sadie...
