Due June 2011? please join me!!!

[BarbieLovesKen]

Anyone??? or am I on my own for a little while yet?? Due the 1st. Received a strong BFP today, 11dpo and AF due next Wednesday.

I've been sooooo tired today. Sat on the loo seat in the staff toilets with my eyes closed for 10 mintues. I could hear two colleagues discussing where I was cause they needed me- but I just stayed still and relaxed- lol!

Wow! There are hundreds of posts since I last looked last week!

Welcome to all the new joiners!

nursesunshine - are you in Sheffield? I am too. I just rang my GP surgery and told them that I didn't know if I was supposed to book an appt with the Dr or with the MW and they booked me straight in with the MW for 2 weeks tomorrow.

Mrswantstobeamum - I have definitely experienced pregnany brain! One evening last week I went to my gym class and when I came home DH was out. I had expected him to be in so I hadn't taken any house keys with me and so I was locked out and had to sit on the door step (I walk to the gym so didn't even have a car to sit in!) and wait until he got home. I had no idea where he was and all I could think of was that he had gone to the supermarket for a few quick things. When he got home he was really surprised to see me locked out because he had been playing football, just as he has done every Thurs evening for the past 3 years which I had temporarily forgotten!!!!!

I have just got back from a 2 day residential work conference. Because I have only recently got married I felt like several of the women were watching everything that I was drinking and drawing their own conclusions. It was more difficult because there were pre-dinner drinks both evenings and then there were several bottles of wine on each table at dinner each night and so I kept having to refuse when the waiters tried to pour me some. The first night was difficult with two women going on and on about why I wasn't drinking any wine and asking me if there was anything significant about that(!!!!), one woman commenting on me having a J2O instead of wine in the bar and another woman who kept asking me if I was going to have a baby soon now that I was married. I just kept telling everyone that I was really hungover and tired from the night before. On the second night I made sure that I sat with the men - they were all far less observant!

I'm really glad that I'll be 12 weeks before the first work Christmas party this year so I don't have to think up more excuses, I am rubbish at lying!

Sorry for the long post btw, the two persistant women at the conference wound me up quite a bit!

Hi monica, yes I'm in Sheffield too. I am going to call GP tomorrow first thing and make app. People can be so nosey can't they

I don't know why some people think that is acceptable to ask such personal questions! I would never ask anyone if they were pregnant or if they were trying or question why they are not drinking because if they want to tell me they will!

Sounds like you work with some very nosey cows Monica

What really annoyed me that one of the two women has children herself and the other's sister has children and so if they think that I am pg (which I am sure that they do) they should understand the position that I'm in. They must realise that if I was far enough along I would tell them anyway (I'll be telling everyone who'll listen when I get to 12 weeks! ), but if I wasn't telling them anything then I would either be less than 12 weeks or not pg at all. It's just so insensitive, what if I had been ttc and not having any luck?!?

Rant over.

I had someone at work who was pregnant say to me........
' you should have children, everyone should......they make your life so much better'
I was so shocked i didnt know what to say......i wish i had really embarrassed her by saying that actually i could'nt have children or something.
People just dont think do you.......DH's mom has been asking outright from the day we got married but i think its just her generation

Just look mystified, glance down at your tummy and say, in a bewildered and hurt voice, "Do I look... pregnant?" [hgrin]

It does make you want to say 'I can't have kids or I've been trying and getting nowhere' just to shut them up. Bugs me when people say 'you'll be next' - how do they even know you want kids!?
One of my colleagues said to another colleagues (when she was admiring anothers baby) 'I couldn't imagine you being a mum!'

I have a few friends who have been with their DP for a long time and the amount of people who say 'when is he popping the question' or over analysing when they go on a big holiday!

ggrrrrr it's defo one of my bug bears [henvy]

My friend can't have children with her partner naturally as he had chemo as a teenager and is sterile now. She gets very upset (in private) when people ask when she's having children. Extremely insensitive.

Nursesunshine - sorry about you horrid experience at the clinic - what an awful man!!

Cep - maybe we need to start another thread for SW while pg

MrsHedgie - hope you are resting comfortably, gall bladder infection sounds nasty :( but glad everything is okay with little bean

MsMoomin - some people can be so bloody thick

I am on Lofepramine, apparently I need to come off it before the 3rd trimester, I am due a medication review next month so will ask GP to get me off them then. I was on beta blockers but came off then well before we started to TTC as they can be harmful during the first trimester.

Am very of those of you in Sheffield. I am in Teesside, and we have had our house on the market since January but we just cannot sell it - there are no buyers around here. We desparately want to move to Sheffield as my DH has been working there since March, in Wales Bar near Killamarsh. We are hoping to move to the Mosborough Townships. I love where we live and our house, but my poor DH has a 90 min journey each way to work. Fortunately he does have a fully expensed company car - the job offer was too good to turn around, and he wasn't going anywhere at his old company!

Sounds like a right pain Kara. Are you planning on moving then or is it a "wish we could but we can't" sort of thing?

Right folks i am CSI'd out.....just the 3 episodes tonight LOL so its sleeps time for me. Sleep well everyone and will see you tomorrow

At the moment it is wishful thinking as we haven't had a single viewing. Next year we may look at part exchange. I don't want to be here when DS starts school!

Hi Ladies congratulations to us all!
Queasy this morning, but only briefly! I was sooooooo sick with DD and DS, but that was a decade ago! Daft as it sounds I will really worry if it doesn't ramp up a bit soon! I am well fat already but it looks like fat! and I am not even 6 weeks yet!

morning all, welcome to the newbies that joined yesterday and congratulations.

Barbie - no worries i think you did say something, but i didn't to you so appologies i was on a pity party of my own.

Kara - definately let me know what you decide after you see your midwife.

Hope people aren't feeling too sick today, and any appointments/scans gowell.

have a great day everyone

This may sound like a stupid question but those of you getting ms is it constant sickness or only when you move?? i've been feeling not to bad lying or sitting down but moving around or driving and i just want to heave.

I think it was barbie who mentioned eggs in an earlier post, i'm almost addicted to them i have loads and as they're free on slimming world can have as many as i want, but am wondering is there still a limit? i know they used to say the caused colesterol but do they still say that? and as long as they're cooked properly is there any risk having too many while pg?

HEllo ladies

Got my BFP on Friday, after thinking that it was unlike me to go beyond 30 days...an hey presto!

EDD as far as I can tell from the online calculators is 24th June!

This little one is unplanned and will join 2 older brothers - DS1 is 5 and DS2 is 1.5 years old.

So HELLO EVERYONE!

Morning all and a big welcome and congrats to all the newbies!

So, first scan was this morning with the ob/gyn at what I thought was 7+4. Turns out I am 6+5 (v common at this stage to get an earlier date) and phew of phews, we could hear the heartbeat! She said that the heartbeat could have started just yesterday or even this morning! After mc last time, she has been v reassuring and I am booked in for another scan when I should be 9+1 on 7th Nov. We talked through all the options for 12 week tests / amnio / CVS which really helped clarify things for us (I am definitely on the old birds bus at 37 and DH is a bit older too). It's strange as it's got me more excited and more nervous at the same time - what a mixed-up bundle of emotions I am at the moment!

Sorry to hear about everyone's ups and downs and illnesses - moomin - hope you are feeling a bit more normal today and mrshedgie - what a time you've been through....

clarkiee - loo naps were good for me even when not PG!

Morning everyone

I am having a bit of a down/nervous day today. Am 5+4 and still don't have any symptoms. I think boobs might be a bit sore and I am feeling tired but that also might be down to the weather.

I was so shocked and upset about the mmc last time and today I just feel very frightened and gloomy that it's happened again. I will have a scan next week but I cannot face the idea of it being a negative outcome but then I guess it is better to know......

Sorry for the me, me, me, just feeling so stressed and upset about it today.

How is everyone else today?

welcome dungungirl and congratulatons.

wonnaywombat that's great, so glad it went well.

yellowtomato i'm 5+5 today and so far the only symptoms i've had is due to a water infection.
I'm only tired (i think) cause my 2.5 yr old keeps waking at night and my boobs haven't really hurt apart from maybe my nips the other day but that could have been because they were cold. :)

I didn't get any symptoms last time either and he was born on time no problems. Having no symptoms isn't automatically a bad sign. Plus they do say that ms tends to come from week 6 so next week you could be throwing your guts up. Try not to worry too much and don't appologise about having a mememe moment that's what we're all here for.

I hope your day picks up a bit.

yellowtomato - can definitely understand your stress and upset - entirely natural after last mmc. Thinking of you x

Thanks for your support wonnaywombat and cep I am just driving myself crazy here, I so want it to work out and am desperate for some more 'proof' that things are progressing. I'm finding it really hard to deal with the uncertainty and am finding it difficult to concentrate on anything else.

Would be much better if I could just put it out of my mind but not much chance of that!

Morning everyone and welcome to any newbies. Still feeling a bit fluey so no work for me again today and i had got some leave booked so now not back until tuesday.....Whooppee
yellowtomatoe please try not to worry, not everyone has symptoms and it doesnt mean that something has gone wrong. Its difficult to be poitive when you feel like that but you have had a BFP ( or if you are like me 6 of them and that is a very good sign. ( hugs)
wonnywombat great news on the scan.....be interested to know what you were were told about tests.....me and DH have conflicting thoughts on that one.

Morning all,

Sorry to hear you're feeling so down yellowtomato. I would say try not to think about it but I know that's impossible. I'm thinking of you :)
