Hi
I’m 31
Daughter is coming up 2.5
Due 18 March
I’m 15+6

Having a very rough HG pregnancy & feeling like a pretty rubbish mum at the moment. And nervous to think it won’t ever me just me & her again.. I know it’ll all be fine but it’s a strange concept right now!

Yvonne1988 · 01/10/2019 22:00

Age 31
Daughter 9 years old
Due 20th march
15+4

Been so long feel like i.m doing it first time all over again. Had a bit of bleeding this time round which is annoying me. Next scan 1st Nov. Hoping for a girl... Thinking it's a boy.

Welcome mummies and congrats!!!
@Bol87 sorry to hear your suffering this time round when I'm sick i feel like a terrible mum as well as i cant be bothered doing anything between vomming but if all you can do is the minimum then at least you are trying and it will be short lived and she wont remember much about this stage
@Yvonne1988 yes id imagine it would be like starting all over again but at least this time you have a little helper as she is at that age were she will still have an interest sorry to hear about the bleeding im sure thats pretty stressful
@LilliesMummyx aww its scary isnt it just when you've passed it all and seem to think you are on an even keel you've to go through it all again and thank you 😘
@Sleepycat91 how early was your 1st? Ou never know this one may stay put a bit longer!
@Princesspickle777 you around the same as me! How have you been feeling?

Ive a scan booked for this evening for piece of mind and hopefully it will make it more real!!

Sleepycat91 · 02/10/2019 15:08

My boy was a 34 weeker, were having a girl this time, my spidey senses are saying shes going to be a bit earlier than him but id like to make it to 36 weeks this time!

GinGeum · 02/10/2019 16:57

I'll just go then shall I?

MissPepper8 · 02/10/2019 17:04

Hello,
I’m 31 (32 tomorrow )
Ds is 27 months
I’m due March 2020
I’m 16 weeks today too.

We're not finding out, would like to even it out with a girl but I'm not fussed :). I'm super excited now it's going so quickly too.

tiredmoma · 02/10/2019 20:33

@GinGeum im so sorry i missed your comment!! Congrats too you too!! Woohoo your halfway there yay! What do you have a already? How are you finding being pregnant with a little one?
@Sleepycat91 hopefully little miss stays put for the extra couple of weeks!!
@MissPepper8 happy birthday for tomorrow! Id love to not find out but my dh likes to know and be organised we will find out this time but hopefully if there is a next time i think i want a surprise

I hd my scan this evening and im not as far on as we thought we could only see a sac and the start of the pole so we have to go back in 2 weeks im a bit gutted tbh not sure why though

Bol87 · 02/10/2019 20:54

We are so similar @MissPepper8 ! My daughter is 28 months & I’m 32 next month! Due 18th March

smeerf · 02/10/2019 21:01

I'm 33 next week and 7 weeks (due May)
DS is 19 months.

I'm struggling a bit because I'm waking up at 5 everyday (DS sleeps till 7 if we're lucky) and then just run out of energy and crash in the early afternoon. I had this in my first pregnancy but didn't have a toddler then, so I could have a nap!
Today I put on a few episodes of Duggee while I dozed on the sofa, woke up to DS smacking me round the face 🙄

Justasconfusedwithnumber2 · 02/10/2019 21:16

Yay I'm in! Congratulations all 😁

I am 33. DS1 is just about 2. Expecting DS2 mid January so I am 25 weeks.

This pregnancy is way tougher IMO. Knackered all the time and many more 'side effects'. Wish I had rested more the first time!

Winter2019 · 02/10/2019 21:26

Congratulations everyone!
I'm 31
Dd3 yrs old
Due 24th December with second dd.
Scared cause first labour was baaaad. Excited the same time 😊

Yvonne1988 · 02/10/2019 21:28

@tiredmoma yeh she's very excited. Can't wait to start helping me. I got signed off work for a few weeks today. Until at least after my next scan so that should be alright. Bit of rest.

SleepingStandingUp · 02/10/2019 21:29

I'm 37
DS is 4
Expe ting identical boys sometime in December if I can make it to 34 weeks, won't go past 37 which is 19th Dec

DS was poorly for a long time so the idea of bringing home brand new babies is very weird

MissPepper8 · 03/10/2019 01:15

@tiredmoma Thank you hun x DH wanted to know but I put my foot down lol.

Don't be gutted, I can understand you want to be a bit further on x. Heartbeat should show in the next 2 weeks, that's amazing to look forward to. I was exactly the same at Epu with DS and had to go back 2 weeks later. It will go by so quickly xx

@Bol87 That's so crazy lol, due date buddies! Is your little girl interested? My little boy kisses my tummy and says he wants a gruffalo or brother. Not sure he quite understands but he'll get a shock lol x

tiredmoma · 03/10/2019 03:15

@smeerf i am sure you are knackered! But at least you are getting and hour or two every morning of peace does he still have a nap? Sometimes you just need to stick them in front of the tv to get a bit of rest only thing is little boys dont seem to like anyone having a rest lol (ive heard of a few that wouldnt let mummy sleep for long!)

@Justasconfusedwithnumber2 welcome and congrats to you too!! I deffo took the naps the first time round for granted!!!

@Winter2019 awww a Christmas baby how lovely!! Fingers crossed this time round goes alot more smoothly for you!

@Yvonne1988 Awk bless try and get as much rest as you can!

@SleepingStandingUp How wonderful! And just in time for Christmas! i hope ds is ok now

@MissPepper8 Your just right it is your body after all i couldn't even risk him knowing and me not as he would tell his mum and she has a rather big gob so id find out one way or the other! trying to look forward to seeing the heartbeat and hopefully the next 2 weeks do fly in

GinGeum · 03/10/2019 07:48

Good luck for your scan in 2 weeks! Hope you can keep busy in the meantime. I have a little boy already, he's a little dream it has been really tiring having a baby while pregnant but luckily he has a good long lunch time nap and is in bed early so I have lots of time to rest!

PetaO · 03/10/2019 08:25

Can I join?!
I'm 36
Have a 7 year old boy
22 weeks with no.2.
We're not finding out the sex. It feels like a million years ago that I did this, and its definitely harder this time around. The sickness has passed, thank goodness, but I'm still exhausted!

mrsrob90 · 03/10/2019 09:19

PetaO Still tired at 22 weeks? I thought it got easier in the 2nd trimester? I should have written notes, I cant remember when anything happened last time. Hopeful you get a bit of respite before 3rd tri.

The advert that's showing for me on Mumsnet at the moment is for heartburn medication - very appropriate! It hasn't kicked in for me yet but I'm still finding Rennie strips in random places from last time!!

SleepingStandingUp · 03/10/2019 13:35

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

tiredmoma · 03/10/2019 18:12

@GinGeum thank you aww thats good at least your getting the chance to rest

@PetaO awww a little surprise how lovely! Im sure it does feel like your starting over again but im sure it will all come flooding back to you once baby is here and im sure you will have a great little helper! Im glad the sickness has passed for you and hopefully the tiredness eases a bit soon

@mrsrob90 im sure your so excited for tomorrow!! I hope all goes well 😊

@smeerf hopefully you wont be needing them too much this time round but always good to have a few little stashs just incase!!
