Ahh help me - in freak out mode.

[Whattheactual20201]

Has anyone had what they thought was periods during pregnancy ????
I haven’t been well recently, suppose you could say pregnancy symptoms. My issue is we haven’t actually done the deed in months and I have had what I thought was periods. I have been vomiting a lot/ been bloating and sorry for the tmi but piles came back ( haven’t had them since second pregnancy 7 years ago )
I just took a test this afternoon which has come up as a very clear positive, took another and the same result.
I am so confused right now. I will book an appointment with doctor of course but I’m in completely freak out mode.
It defo wouldn’t be planned I have 2 DC 13 and nearly 7.
Partner and I have been friends for a very very very long time but only started dating 11 months ago.
I don’t know what I am actually asking 🤣

What fab news, any names in mind for your little girl. I can't believe how calm you and your DP are.

This thread gets better each time - how exciting- congrats!

Congratulations OP. Nice to read your lovely news. Good luck.

@ForthPlace I’m not sure calm is the word I have had a up and down response but to be honest for me the main worry was because of my daughters pregnancy and health when born that I had not had an antenatal care and have drunk an a lot of wine in covid lockdown 🙈 so I think after the shock and being a bit every where yesterday today I am just relieved that she is ok.
Oh jeez you are right names ?? She will need a name !

I am so pleased for you, I think this is my favourite mumsnet thread. You and DP have taken this amazing but surprising news so well! Congratulations to you both

Wow congratulations. Now we can help think of names! My daughters name is Eloise nn Ellie how do you like the sound of that? 🤣

I've just read this whole thread through with a big smile on my face . Congratulations! What fantastic news for you both. And thank you for sharing your lovely exciting news with the rest of MN - it's so nice to read something happy and heart warming for once this year

Poppy....because she just popped out?!
Allegria...(Al-ah-gree-ah) - joy in Spanish
Vita - like vite in French - quick?

Isadora - it means “gift of the goddess of fertility”

Congratulations - such a heart warming post in such crap times. Please pop back to the thread every now and again and let us all know how you're getting on xx

Wow! 30 weeks! I don't want to alarm you but my yd was born at 31 weeks I just wanted to add my congratulations to you and your family. I'm so pleased your partner is on board and happy about his impending daughter. As for baby names, here's a list with some meanings on the theme of surprise www.ranker.com/list/baby-names-that-mean-surprise/famous-names

what lovely news

Great update, OP! We are all invested in this pregnancy now. So glad everything is well. Wow 30 weeks.

Mia?

Amir? As in 'I'm 'ere!'

I think we both like Delilah.

If it snows this year, how about a name that means snow:

Eira (pronounced AY-ruh)
Neva (Latin for snow)

Niamh (means "bright" or "radiant" which could relate to snow plus a brilliant story about Niamh being the daughter of the god of the sea, one of the queens of Tír na nÓg, the land of the forever-young).

Nia (same name as Niamh but the Welsh version)

Or, if she's a Christmas baby:

Estelle (meaning star)
Stella (also meaning star)
Joy
Gabrielle
Ivy
Robyn
Clara (the little girl in the Nutcracker)
Natalia (A French name meaning born at Christmas, apparently)

Cross post! Delilah is lovely xx

Best update ever, I’m so glad to hear your baby is alright and so are you

Also think of all the pregnancy worry you’ve missed out on hahaha

Delilah is lovely. Huge congratulations xxx

Just read the whole thread! Congratulations! So exciting❤️

Woohoooo! I'm thrilled for you! You will be too once the idea beds in and you're over the shock.

I'm still laughing at your DD asking for a baby for Christmas, and you obliging without even knowing!

Congratulations @Whattheactual20201 - I hope everything goes nice and smoothly for you now, and it's lovely to have some actual good news from this abysmal year.

Such beautiful news - my daughter and I have been refreshing all day for an update.

Congratulations.

This thread has made a lot of people smile during such an uncertain time.

Hope all goes well and you continue to update occasionally. X

It’s 5.33 am and I’m wide awake browsing John Lewis 🤣 clearly not as calm as I think !
