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 🤣

Enjoy OP - loooove baby shopping

@isitsnowingyet christmas just got way more expensive 🤣🤣

I have 2 DC Xmas
And 1 birthday in December (Dc 1)
And now a baby to buy for
With not a single shop open 🤣🤣🤣
My timing is impeccable!

Haha - don't fret - the internet is a marvellous thing.

Have you got any friends with little ones?

ie to borrow a few items....

In olden days of course, the baby was put in the bottom draw as a bed/cot. Might work for a bit

Have just read the rest of your update, congratulations, and you don't have long to wait. Are your other children thrilled too?

Lovely name. There also lots of great baby stuff on Facebook marketplace!

My daughter is soooo excited. my son less excited but he is 13 ( well I say he is 13 he will be next month ) haha
He isn’t upset just like right ok can I play Xbox now 🤣

I think we will tell family today !
Our parents are good friends with each other so might call a big zoom meeting.

Awww - lovely. Your daughter will be a massive help. All of my kids always enjoyed watching bigger children talk to them etc. It's like they sense one of their own (!)

I just feel like I’m going to be a parent forever 🤣
DS will be 13
DD will be 7
Newborn
I had DS young, so wasn’t expecting to start over again 🙈

haha - at your son's response - typical eh?

Good luck with the Zoom - I'm off to work now - see ya

Congratulations! All will be well in the end.

Op I can only imagine how surprised your family will be and how lovely having a big zoom meeting. You will have to update us how it goes. At least you can put some baby bits in your Christmas list now

I've been awake since 4am OP, and yours is just the loveliest thread. Congratulations! Delilah is a beautiful name. Enjoy your early morning shopping

I'm another who has just read the thread all in one go. What lovely news.
@Whattheactual20201 - don't rush to do/ buy anything now! People will love the news and want to help. But do think about your physical and mental health. Can you fit in any zoom antenatal yoga/ relaxation/ refresher classes? It's such a lovely thing to be able to focus on this baby after a long break

(I've always thought that 9 months is perfect for first babies but second/ third could do with being much shorter. And you've done exactly that )

Congratulations op! Such a shock for you. I'm 28 weeks and can't imagine finding out now!! Good luck with it all

I just read this, what a lovely thread. Congratulations OP, I'm glad everything looked OK at the scan. Hope you manage to get hold of everything you need x

Congratulations OP!

I feel you with the shock. I found out I was pregnant in late October a few years ago, was already 30 weeks and she came early so I only knew I was pregnant for 6 weeks! And we didn't even live together (still with parents) so had to find somewhere to live in that time too.

I can imagine the stress with lockdown and shops too! But remember just how much you can get online now. What a lovely thing to come out of such a shitty year!

Your DD must have been delighted it's a girl and I hope that the dog took the news well!

Thank you for keeping us updated.

Oh I've just read this thread all in one go and it's so lovely! Congratulations OP! I'm so glad everything is well and hope all continues to go well Delilah is a beautiful name!

Op, a baby is always wonderful news, so I'm sure your families will be thrilled. As a pp said, I'm sure you will be inundated with gifts. What a lovely thread!

And DP's the brother...we want to know his reaction!!

Love Delilah.
I had gone with the OP that had posted the link for 'surprise' names. I liked 'Epiphany', beautiful and unusual and in my mind had shortened her name to 'Eppi'.
You can tell we've got time on our hands during lockdown (actually I so haven't! ) and are living your joy!

What a lovely thread! Congratulations Op and good luck with the zoom call! Don't forget to record it, it'll be lovely to show your daughter when she's older!

Oh OP I'm so glad I found this thread it's cheered me up no end

Congratulations to you all

What a lovely thread to wander into! I'm so happy for you all. I'm so glad that your little dolly is healthy and strong and that you are all happy to welcome her. What a magical Christmas for you!

Amazing, really. A Christmas baby! Your house will be joyous this year! Congrats on your baby girl, OP. Hope the remaining month(s) of your pregnancy runs smoothly.
