May Babies 2006

[hockeymum]

I thought I'd start a due May 2006 club even though its very early in the month for it.

My stats are

ME: 31
DH: 30
DD: 3 next week!
Next DB due: May 1st (4 weeks pregnant today!)

Just been to the docs to get it all confirmed and seeing the midwife tomorrow. Look forward to more of you joining me as the month progresses!

Actually, I expect to have an elective section after an emergency one with DD so db will probably be born at the end of April. But like the idea of a May thread nonetheless!

P.S. Good luck with scan Tortoise!

good luck with the scan spoo x

hope you are all doing well

Good luck with a scan tortoiseshell. I have mine Thursday week!

littlemisspiggy - my sense of smell is very refined as well. My DH gets gradually fed up with me pointing out which restaurants exude nice or sickly smell. I am now into Japanese food - grilled eel on rise is my favourite! Cannot stand fish and chips... weird.

Have a good week ladies.

fish and chips - bleurgh

eel and rice - yes very nice sounding

have just had second cup of miso soup

had a dream last night about pizza

also desperate for a chinese take away

Have a thing for Skips at the moment!

Ice cold fizzy water for me (can't stand it normally)
Lovecloud - Sorry you feel so bad. My DH is frustrated that I can't do as much around the house when he is working long hours building our conservatory by himself. I do work full time by the evening I just need to chill and cope with the MS.DH also tends to say "when you are really pregnant (read big)" which annoys me no end as although its not visible on the exterior I think the 1st trimester can be the most difficult physically and psychologically.

Anyway, moan away here we don't mind!
Good luck Tortoisehell!

good luck with your scan tortoise!

Lovecloud - I was about to come and start a thread on exactly the same thing just wasn't sure where to put it because it! My DP is absolutely fantastic he hooevered the whole house for me yesterday and id on't even have to ask him if he is at home he will cook dinner - he does this even when I am not pregnant - I am very very lucky however that does not mean he is fantastic at everything listening is one thing he isn't good at and he is so highly strung at the moment (or maybe its me)DD nrusery teacher asked what time she went to bed as she has been yawning so much today and does so quite often I expained she went at 8 every night but I do have problems with sleep talking (whole different thread) and being awake some nights for many hours! I came home and felt a bit upset that DD may possibly not be taking in everythign at nursery due to this and said I would like to call a lady I paid for last time to come he went into one and said he didn't have the money and she was a waste of time last time and I shouldn't be listening to teachers maybe DD's just bored as she slept fine last night - he is a total prat sometimes and today he has p'd me off sooooooooo much infact over the last few days he has driven me nuts to the point I feel we can't sort it out now that is bad and I can't believe I just said it but its true! sorry to go on but no-one to talk to!

Oh good - glad we are all having a whiney day today I don't feel so bad about adding my whines to the list. Have no problems with DH other than the fact that he is living the high life working in Korea for 2 weeks eating out every night while I throw up ten times a day and still ahve to look after my dd! Not his fault as he had to go but I hvae no support here while he has gone. I went to the doctors on friday about the sikness and she has signed me off work with hyperemesis gravada, I've got to go for blood tests tomorrow morning to see if there is another cause for the sickness and see if I'm dehydrated enough for hospital (hope not!) but my whine is really unproductive -nothing at all can be done about the sickness and exhaustion, I cant ask my friends to help out as they are all either pregnant with child 2 or 3 or they have newborns and toddlers and another toddler to look after is too much. I did ask one friend who is not pregnant to look after dd for me after school nursery while I go to my blood tests but she gives another friend (pregnant) a lift home on a tuesday so she cant pick up my dd. When I asked our friend if she would mind walking for once so that friend one could help me out she said she didnt have the energy. So the only time I have asked for a friends help because I'm so exhausted I cant have any help so I'm majorly p~~@d off!
I've had a sudden surge of hormones I think and like a lot of the rest of you cried my eyes out at X-Factor, the news, neighbours and even adverts. I'm a blubbering wreck! My poor dd keeps comforting me saying don't cry mummy it'll be ok and I just feel like such a pants mummy to her if she is having to comfort me!

Anyway, whine over - sorry for those of you that read the whole thing but its out of my system now - thanks!

By the way feel bad moaning cos I'm so pleased about this gorgeous baby - must keep my eyes on the prize!

Huh so much for friends. Can't they somehow both pick up your DD for you. It's not as if you want to go out on the razzle! You need to go for tests ffs! Sorry for the rant but seems quite mean to me and if preggy friend is in walking distance surely a bit of a gentle walk won't do any harm - as long as it's not peeing down with rain of course.

hello ya'll

happy to say i am slightly in a better mood today

after moaning to you all about my dh, i had an outburst whilst "cooking" and said to him that I am so shocked at how unsupportive he he being with me and I can not believe that he has not gone out of his way for me once!!!". He stormed out of the kitchen and I did my "There!" face at his back.
We ate dinner in silence, he went into the other room when we finished for about an hour or so.
I was watching TV and then he came in, kneeled down and apologised and promised to be more supportive and understanding - ahhhhhhhhhhh! Then asked me if I wanted anything!

So my monning paid off but he has a long way to go yet so I can put my whip away.

I am 11 weeks this Saturday (why do we always rush ahead) and still not heard about scan so getting very impatient!!!

Goodluck with your scan tshell - enjoy

ps. stilling feeling just as sick as i approach the three month stage AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!

Glad you feel better lc!

not only feeling sick but now have madly increased sense of smell

Enid - withcha on that!

I swear this disgusting smell from my bathroom follows me around the house. it drives me mad as dh cant smell it.

Smells arghhhhh!

Couldn't get into a lift today as this man in the queue stank of old garlic and BO. Had to pretend I was waiting for someone and get the next one - as a result was 1 minute late for my parking and paid an extra 1.40 for a whole hour more!
Thing is I loved garlic before I was pg (this time and last time) but cannot bear to be near the smell when pg.

Anyway, after my moan yesterday and a good hour on the phone last night talking to my mum I feel a bit better today. I went with my dd to the docs for my blood test and she loved it, thought it was fascinating that blood was coming out of my arm, has been prodding me with bits of her doctors kit all afternoon!

Hope you are all feeling ok and have some energy left to imagine a brighter future after the 3-4 month stage!

Whilst we are moaning. It seems that I have had a bug or seomthing I was biolently ill yesterday (which DH put down to morning sickness and tried to ply me with Ginger biscuits.) Had bad diareeah all night. felling a bit better as my mum has come up to stay and is cooking tonight. When I complained to DH about not getting any sympathy he just complained that he felt he had to look after two children! Anyway - he has now come home feeling grim and has told me that he didn't realise what it was like. men eh??

On a lighter note - back to work tomorrow after Maternity Leave 1. So wish me luck. No one knows that I am pregnant there yet and I am a bit nervous about people guessing considering I look about 5 mnths pregnant after just 8 weeks!! I suppose they would be very rude to point it out to me.

Anyway good luck with scans everyone. I am so envious of those that are due at the beginning of the month - that means there sickness will vanish before mine.

Tara a bit

I have the smell thing to and I constantly feel really sick all day every day never had this before anyone have any ideas how to sooth it a bit

I to look far more pregnant than my eight weeks and have had to start to purchase maternity clothes as I seem to have lost the ones I bought last time

oh and also constant horrid taste in mouth

hooooooray i have a date for my scan, so i finally get to believe i am pregnant and not just developed an horrible illness where i feel sick 24 hours, detest anything healthy, moan all day and look like crap!

once i see this little person is alive and kicking i will be able to relax...

13 days to go!

Good for you - that's a relief! I've still not seen hide nor hari of a midwife. Rang the GPs on Monday who told me they had already sent the letter to the hospital. Rang the hospital who said they hadn't opened the post yet (?) could I ring back on Wed afternoon (does it take 2 days to open post?. I said 'but they sent it about 3 weeks ago!' 'oh yes sometimes it takes about 1 or two weeks' GRRRR

hari? hair even

Thought I'd better write something today or littlemisspiggy will feel like a threadkiller again!!

Got my blood test results back from the GP today and they show no diabetes, thyroid probs or anything else that would make the hyperemesis worse so thats good, just plain baby sick as he said! It shows I'm dehydrated obviously and he has signed me off work for 2 more weeks (hooray!). plus he gave me carte blanche to eat Mars Bars! (unfortunately I've gone off them) but basically he said when you do eat (not often with this sickness) eat high calorie food, no matter what it is - what a result!

Have my scan in 6 days so I'm very excited. My friend has jsut discovered she is having twins so I'm a bit nervous about the scan from that point, but will be lovely to see a reason for the sickness there in black and white!

Hope you are all doing ok.

Littlemisspiggy any news about your scan yet? Keep nagging them they'll get sick of you and give you an appointment to stop you phoning soon enough!

Can I join your thread please? Due May 24th 06 and just had an 8 week scan.........so exciting!

Sounds like I'm doing pretty well on the sickness front compared to some of you poor people, just a bit of nausea each day and only a couple of actual sickness bouts. Feel totally knackered though!!!!!!!

Gosh, we have all gone a bit quiet haven't we? Welcome Runtus and congratulations!

Been a bit quiet the last few days as I've been mady busy at work and then had a massive scare yesterday. Went to the loo at 9am and got a load of bright red blood! Completely threw me and I was devastated - especially as I'd been moaning last week about not having sore boobs so I thought everything was about to go pear-shaped! Boss was brilliant and sent me home. GP surgery brilliant and fitted me in for an appointment 2 hours later where my GP rang the ante-natal unit at the hospital and arranged a scan for me there and then! Anyway - felt miserable last night - although had no more bleeding and I guess significantly no pains....

So - 10:20 this morning saw my 12mm long 'beany' with a strong heartbeat and it was fab and such a relief...... So have been confirmed as 7+4 - everything measuring spot on for dates ang to top it all - today is the worst I have ever felt from a sickness perspective. Thought it was nerves driven his morning....clearly not!!

So...hope everyone else is feeling OK......take care of yourselves...I for one now feel like wrapping myself up in cotton wall for the next 32 weeks!!!!

Phew! - glad to hear all is ok!

That must be so scarey, I would be a wreck,

Everytime I wipe myself I expect to see blood and hold my breath.

I cant wait to see my baby on the scan- almost said dd then??? Could be instinctive? Or the fact i already have a dd.

I have no food in the house and no energy to go and buy some. I am so hungry and need junk - McDonalds chips mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Why cant i crave spinach?

With dd all i ate was fruit and drank freshly made smoothies, this time i just want junk

Almost 11 weeks

Anyone her 11 weeks or more and finding their sickness is easing? PLEASE SAY YES!!!
