Hi there mumsxmaswish congratluations on your BFP just popping over from the July thread to wish you luck and keep you company until some more turn up.
Mind u if some of us are late we will be in August as well .
I got 5 weeks and 6 days not that i'm counting! I'm getting excited but also thinking OMG. My ds is 4 and dd is 2 in Jan so I keep thinking how am i going to get them all up dressed , fed and out the door for ds going to nursery at 9am. I'm sure we'll manage, other people do.
I just wish i could concentrate on something for longer than 5 mins tho!
Hiya, mumsxmaswish, congrats! I'm due on 2 August so you aren't alone. I wasn't going to join an Aug thread, but when I saw you'd survived an m/c too I had to come and say hi. I had a missed m/c last Feb so am really, really, really nervous about this pregnancy but delighted at the same time, especially as am extremely old (44). I have one DS who's 5 in April.
Hi pucca, hi again mumswish. I am feeling sea-sick, am very tired, and have extremely tender boobs that each feel 3" bigger than normal. Am also craving decaf Earl Grey tea and drinking about 6 mugs of it a day instead of my cups of coffee.
Arabica...feeling a little sick myself too, with my dd i didnt feel sick till about 6-8 weeks so quite strange to feel nausous so early i am only 4 weeks (period was due friday gone).
Boobs feel sore too, and stomach is like a balloon lol.
I am going to doc's in morn, to get midwife sorted etc.
hi mumsxw just to congratuate u on being pg, starting the due in aug thread and on having somewhere and some ppl to talk pg with! good luck to all on here, x
Hello, am feeling awful today. Really bleeeeeeearghhhhh--there isn't any more articulate way to describe it. If I could be sick I might feel better, but it doesn't get that far, it's just vague nausea. Still, it's a good sign so I shouldn't complain. Pucca and Mumswish, do you already have children? I have one little boy who's 5 in April.
No this is my first. I'm really happy this time as I'm getting some symptoms instead of just the pg test. I feel sick and I really want loads of cups of tea where normally I cant drink any hot drinks.
Just come back from docs, gotta go back again on Monday to get the results (even tho I know what they'll say ) gotta choose a hosp and stuff soon.
for mxw - Rh neg
There hundreds of blood groups, eg ABO and rhesus (Rh). You have one copy of each blood type from each parent. Rh(D) gene can be pos or neg. if both parents give u Rh- gene then u r Rh-. If both or one parent gives u Rh+ gene then u r Rh+.
Rh- is a prob when pg if baby is Rh+ basically cos u can recognise the baby as an infection and attack it. if u r Rh- and want to ask more go ahead!
