amy g. Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I think there are quite a few boardies pregnant right now. What is your due date, and how are you feeling? I'm due December 8th. I don't know if it is a boy or a girl, but my instinct says boy. I'm feeling very, very, very tired. Maybe part of the fatigue is my age. I turned 43 last week.

Lucy in Australia Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Me! :seeya: I'm due October 24th (my babies usually come 1 week early though). Yes, I'm with you on the feeling tired part. I'm 42, and I've had enough with this pregnancy already :001_huh: Last week I had one day when I was thinking to myself, "Well I'm just about ready for bed." It was 6PM :glare: My instinct says it's a girl, but that could just be hubby's wishful thinking:D We find out next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melhouse Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I haven't posted this anywhere yet, but I am pregnant. This is my ninth pregnancy, fifth child. I've made it to ten weeks, and I'm feeling very pregnant: nausea, vomiting, fatigue; so I'm hopeful. My miscarriages always happened by the eighth week, and never appeared to progress passed the sixth week. I've seen a heart beat, so I'm cautiously optimistic. :) I'm due December 24, which is great because we've got nothing going on around that time ;) My dds, 15 & 14 are thrilled. I haven't told my dss, 11 & 7. I'll be 45 when the baby is born. I'm very tired!! Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSmomNY Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I am due Oct. 26th. This will be my second child. At 40 I am a lot more tired then I was at 25 with my first. I don't know yet if I am having a girl or a boy but I should find out next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amy g. Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 My situation is so similar, This is my 8th pregnancy, but 5th child. I saw a heart beat at 7 weeks. Last week, at 11 weeks, I wanted to see if we could hear a heart beat with the Doppler. The nurse said that she could hear it, but even I could tell it was just my own heart beat. The midwife could not find it. She got a better Doppler and could not find it. So she said we could try a sonogram, but she wasn't very good at using it. When she found the baby, I just saw the circle of my uterus with another circle inside of it. Nothing was flashing or moving, and my heart sank. Suddenly, the baby moved, and we could see it's little heart. It turns out that at first, we were looking at the top of his head. I go back on June 1st. Hopefully, I will have more good news and be able to start feeling secure about actually having a real live baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomofSeven Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 It's our fifth girl and we're all thrilled. I am due August 30. I'm tired but that's more due to chemo rather than pregnancy. Pregnancy wise I feel great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenaj Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I'm pregnant with #8 and due on August 31st (but it will be the second week of September - I'm always late so I plan for it - that way no disappointment) Everything is going fine despite my advanced age of 44 :) It's been encouraging reading this thread to see that I'm not alone in the over-forty crowd! I realized just yesterday that I feel better this time than I have with the past several - either it's a girl, the baby is laying in a completely different direction than usual or my "Core" workouts I was doing prior to pregnancy really paid off. Usually my ribs/back are aching continually by this time but I've only had a few twinges. We didn't find out what it was - we've had five boys in a row and with the last four have always figured it out ourselves by watching the tape of the ultrasound. This time I wanted it to be a complete surprise but my dh wanted to know - so we compromised and didn't find out (after all, I'm the one that threw up for three months). DH planned to watch the video so he would know but the technician forgot to turn the tape on - hee, hee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicianmom Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Due mid-August. I'm very very tired. I'm also thankful for every rainy day because that keeps the temperature down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDmom Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I'm expecting #4 on Aug 22. I had a miscarriage too, before this pregnancy (during the 2nd trimester), and I'm always a little surprised at how active this one is. It's like I expect that something will go wrong just because I lost one. We got an ultrasound several weeks ago and the baby's legs were crossed, but we are cautiously optimistic that it's a girl. I am exhausted and I'm only 31. I'm always exhausted during pregnancy, though. After the baby's born, I usually feel great even with waking up 4 times a night. And since I'm allowed to complain here :001_smile: I feel like my whole pelvic area is about to fall apart. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm seriously having a hard time walking from the pain. And even lifting a full gallon of milk is difficult for me. I ask my midwife about it every time I go in and she just smiles and says it's b/c I've already done this 3 times. How am I supposed to get through the next 3 months of this?? Okay, I'm done complaining. Thanks for listening. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 July 15th is my due date. It's my 8th pregnancy but 4th child. We were unable to see the baby's gender on ultrasound. Everyone wants a girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmom3 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Expecting #4 on Oct. 29 (looking for Nov. because mine have all been late) I am 40 and already hot and it's only in the 80s here in Texas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowWhite Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I'm due THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW! As in May 30th. I thought he was going to come Memorial Day, but that was just practice I guess. I've had a few shorter practices lately, but he seems to be in no hurry.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Having #3 on Sept 14th (it's a scheduled C-section so unless baby decides to come early, that's the date). We don't find out the gender so that's a mystery. I'm feeling pretty good now, but was much more tired this time around during the first trimester.

Jennay Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 #4 is due in late Sept. It's girl :) My boys will be almost 7 and almost 6 and my daughter will be almost 2. I'm also very, very tired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elohcin Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Having our sixth sometime the end of November (due Nov 28). It is a c-section so I don't yet know the date but usually 1.5-2 weeks early. We have three girls and two boys so the boys want a boy and the girls want a girl. We haven't ever found out, but may with this one. I am feeling very very tired. But we are just taking one day at a time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakblossoms Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 What an interesting bunch of pregnant ladies we have around here. I'm due with number 4 on July 18th. I've had two ultrasounds and I was promised she is still a girl. We will see when she gets here:tongue_smilie: I have quick labors and I honestly can't imagine going all the way to July 18th. I have to be lying down around 7pm or I start contracting. We were out yesterday and went to the grocery store after the beach. It was after 7 and I had to stop several times to catch my breath. My poor husband looked so worried. He finally gets why I don't want to go shopping by myself:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole not in CA Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I have 2.5 weeks to go. Due June 15 with our third (and final) daughter. I have mild pre-eclampsia and am on bedrest, so not feeling very well here. But this is very usual for me at this point in pregnancy. The crawl to the end is not much fun. My weeks are filled with non-stress tests, blood pressure monitoring, ultrasounds, labwork, etc. I feel like I've been poked and prodded enough already! I'm so excited for her to be here but am nervously anticipating the end, because I hemorrhage horribly in my deliveries. My last delivery was a nightmare which resulted in a blood transfusion and many more unpleasant things, but I won't bore you all with the details. Congratulations to all of you!

tadbhoward Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 :) I am pregnant with #4 and she is due on July 21. They are all girls, 6, 4, and 2. I was really hoping for a boy but alas. I just started getting tired again this past week. I just want to sleep and sleep and sleep and drink as many Sonic cranberry slushies as humanly possible.

coffeegal Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Baby #5 is due July 27th! This pregnancy has been more difficult, everytime I try to get things done I end up on the sofa with painful contractions. :glare: But today I'm feeling great, big, but great. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I'm due with #2...and #3 in October. Both boys. Their 2 yo sister doesn't yet understand how her life will change. I've been feeling pretty awful this time around. If I end up on bedrest, I might actually have some time to spend on the boards. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelanieM Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I'm expecting #3 around June 20th. I have gone 41.5 weeks or so with both my other children, but for some reason I think this one will be closer to 40 weeks. We'll see! We're planning a homebirth, and I'm expecting it to be very gentle and smooth. I'm also anticipating this baby being very easy going - most certainly a ray of sunshine! :D I'm also very blessed in that my husband will be taking 8 WEEKS off of work after baby is born!! His work provides full pay for 6 weeks and he's taking on two weeks vacation as well. I'm soooooo excited! Instead of feeling like a new baby will be extra work, I'm feeling like it is leading into a vacation! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HFClassicalAcademy Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 This will be baby #5 for us. I'm due on August 17th and I can't wait!! I'm tired of feeling lazy.:tongue_smilie: Liz in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are expecting #5 by the end of August. The girls wanted another girl and the boys wanted a girl so they didn't have to share their legos. It looks like they are all going to be disappointed.:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caitlinsmom Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I am due New Years Eve with out surprise 4th. I am tired for the most part. I have that horribly annoying car sick feeling 95% of the day so that makes it a wonderful time! :) Over all though I am feeling good, although I seem to be expanding rather fast and it makes me sad. LOL I am vain enough to want to wear my normal pants for the whole first trimester. I normally know what gender the baby is but this one has me stumped! I have no clue whatsoever. I am leaning towards another girl today. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraciWA Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 We just got a new computer so it's been a while. We are expecting #4 on or around Aug. 28. Due Sept. 4 but having a c-section. This has been a harder pregnancy that at any other time. I am 37 and am experiencing high bp so my dr. put me on meds. Another thing I am experiencing is sore hips but I guess that's par for the course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5wolfcubs Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Due with baby #6 on December 3rd. But I've miscarried twice since my last baby (at 12 weeks & 20 weeks) so I'm not overly excited. I did, however, have an early ultrasound at 7 weeks and heard the heartbeat at 12 weeks...there is still hope. I'm exhausted and nauseous all day :ack2:...unlike previous pregnancies where I truly had morning sickness. My curriculum for the coming year has begun arriving. Every single thing I've ordered is overwhelming. I'm not sure if it really is that bad or my perception is just completely colored right now. In fact, I think I need to go lie down...

hmschooling Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Me too! I'm 28, 8th pregnancy and 4th child. I really didn't have a lot of hope to carry this one past 8 weeks, but at 9 weeks they heard the heart beat with just the doppler! I was ecstatic! We had an ultrasound today and I'm measuring very close to my original dates. I'm due Dec. 6th, but I'm sure I'll deliver early again...probably Thanksgiving-ish. Last 2 tried to come starting around 6-7 months and last one was 3weeks early. I'm almost 13 weeks, still SO SO SO SO tired....still a little morning sickness and double allergies. Moody and short tempered. Sleepless. The works....oh, and did I say tired? LOL I have a feeling it's a girl...this one is smaller, a little less active, and a much higher heart rate (178 today!). It's just a gut feeling I guess. We all want a girl too...I've got a girl and two boys so a girl would even it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristiana Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) I'm pregnant! Due Jan. 3 with #4. And I feel horrible, all day long. I don't feel quite as tired as last week though, so maybe there's hope. I'm almost 35 but also haven't done this in 5 years and it feels worse than it did last time around. I'm usually sick until about 19 weeks along, so 10 weeks to go! :tongue_smilie: I have 3 boys so we'd all love a girl, but after a miscarriage and 3 1/2 years of infertility, I'm just so grateful to be pregnant that I'll take whatever the Lord sends. ;) I'm just worried that I won't be able to crawl out of bed and get to the convention center next Saturday by 8:30 a.m to hear SWB speak. :001_unsure: Edited May 29, 2009 by Kristiana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyJoy Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I'm due October 6th with a little boy! I had a miscarriage at about 12 weeks last June, but everything seems to be going well this time. I had a bit of nausea during weeks 6-12, but I am completely over it Right now I'm EXHAUSTED but some of that has to do with the fact that I'm subbing for kindergarten and a K-3rd after school program this week.

gardenschooler Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Girl #4 is due August 29th, but if she's anything like her sisters, she'll be verrrry late. I'm just staying in the pool until then. Actually, this is the easiest pregnancy I've ever had - and I turned 40 this year. I think it has everything to do with the fact that not only do I not have little ones to chase, but my girls are old enough to pretty much take care of everything, if need be. I'll probably be singing a different song later in the summer, though! But for now, I feel great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappyhappymama Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I'm due on August 4th, but hoping for July. :D I'm 35 and this will be our 4th boy.

yellowperch Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I'm new here. I'm expecting #5 in October, just a few months shy of my 43rd birthday. I was very tired until I reached week 12. Now I feel great! My will be 9,7,5, and 3 when this baby comes. They are thrilled beyond reason. I'm on the fence about homeschooling this fall. I have homeschooled in the past, but I only have my 5 and 2 home now. I find the thought of homeschooling with a newborn daunting, but for a million reasons I feel like it is the right thing to do. So for now, I'm reading, thinking, planning, dreaming. Good luck to all you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
