Jue in June - continuation of "Due June 2011? please join me!!!" thread

[wonnaywombat]

Hi all - we've very nearly exhausted the 1,000 post limit on our previous thread so here is the new one.

Looking forward to continuing to share the ups, downs, symptoms, queries, worries and joy (fingers tightly crossed!)

sorry baby brain wishful thinking i meant to say giving up smoking was more stressful.

Am going to have a long soak in the bath and then an early night, hope everyone has a good evening.

Enjoy your bath cep......im my pjs awaiting spooks. Could really do with some chocolate but there is none in the house, thankfully

Feeling very very down tonight. Keep thinking something bad is going to happen. Dreading my scan and scared about each day.

Wish I could just be happy and relaxed

Wobblewatcher don't be scared - I know it easier said than done, last week when I had cramps and GP told me to go check it out at the hospital I was crying in the cab! I literally called my husband to tell him and was about to say don't panic I'll be fine when my voice broke

Try to think of something else, don't anticipate events - only positive ones!

Hope it all goes well! :)

Sorry you're so down Wobblewatcher. Do you know when your scan is? It's so hard to feel relaxed when there's so much to worry about, what could happen. Try to be kind to yourself this evening, have a nice bath and a hot chocolate and early night. xxxx

Ah cep I have heard that too, but if I carry on having one cig a day I will be very stressed craving nicotine the rest of the day for the whole pregnancy. I was well over smoking by about 5 months gone last time, so hoping for the same this time [fingers crossed emoticon].

Sorry you're feeling down Wobblewatcher, remember we're all in the same boat and have our down and up days. How long until your scan?

X Posted with nurse, and she said it so much better ,

Take up knitting? Will help keep your hands busy and out of the fag packet and biscuit tin

Scan is on the 8th. Just wish I was being sick, I know how awful ms and I'm not playing it down and I am feeling for those that have it, I had it very bad with DD, from now until 14 weeks with the odd bit until 22 weeks.

Oh I don't know what is wrong with me, just need to calm down.

Thanks guys

How many weeks are you? Remember some people don't get ms until quite late on and between 10 and 50% of women don't get it at all. It's totally normal to feel this way, you're going to feel more emotional and worry-y at the moment anyway. Just try to make sure you get enough sleep and look after yourself, feeling tired and run down won't help. Is there anyone you can talk to irl, such as mum, BF, DP, sister etc?

I'm only 5 weeks tomorrow so very early.

I can't seem to trust that my body will do it though

Despite the fact that it made my DD

Yes I have a great DP and mum,they are both brilliant and mum is paying for private scan in 2 weeks.

I need distraction!

wobble I hear you! I'm desperately wishing for ms to get me out of this 'phony pregnancy' phase. Not that I really want to feel nauseous all the time (for the start it will be difficlt to be a good mum when the whole room is wobblying around me).

Someone once said to me it would be so much easier of we all just turned purple for the duration so you would know everything was all right :)

Issystark that's hilarious! And would get us all out of that "when do we tell our friends?" conundrum!

love purple, but then i think we'd only worry if it was the right shade, or more lilac than purple.

hey everyone.

new to this due date is 9th june 2011 with my first baby. not feelin too bad really tired n hungry but feel sick when im hungry. (strainge feeling) havent been sick though which is good cuz i have a phobia of sick. lol belly feeling rather full if u know what i mean. got a slight bump but not firm. 8weeks this week n got first appointment with midwife on friday. sooooo excited. :o

Welcome emj and congratulations.

Wobblewatcher, please try not to worry, i'm 6+3 and still haven't really got any symptoms apart from what seems like a constant infection. I think it's perfectly natural to feel it's not real at this stage, i'll worry it's just my imagination (and faulty tests) right up until my scan at 12 weeks.

hello! just wanted to join in - I'm only just in this group at the very end of june. first timer so don't really know what to expect! I've enjoyed reading all your posts :)

lol at poor sarahmumtobe - sounds very like something I would do.

Thanks a million everyone once again for your lovely posts and advice.

Im so so sorry to hear that so many are now really ill!! really hope it passes soon. Think usually by week 14 we'll all start feeling much better.

Moomin I love old fashioned and traditional names. Have our picked since before we were pregnant for a girl anyway, it was the name we were going to use if ds was a girl (but he turned out to be an Oisín). We cant decide on any boys names, anything I like - he hates and vice versa. I have the strangest feeling this is a girl though (so you can absolutely guarantee a boy )

8rubberducks I completely, 100% understand what you are going through and Im pretty sure that no one here would dream of flaming you for cutting down (and out) to such a huge level in one week for your baby. I think you should be applauded. I gave up the week of my BFP too, I was probably smoking 20 per day before that . Im a complete idiot though, I have given them up for both of my other pregnancies and went back on them after(I think this is why I get so fat when pregnant, I eat everytime I want a cig).

Ridiculous I know. It was so so difficult the last 2 times but if Im honest(particulary with ds as I had the worst year ever), this time has been a breeze as I've been so, desperately ill, the thoughts of a cigarette makes me want to get sick (woo hoo!! ). I think your brilliant. I too understand why you want to go cold turkey, I didnt want to try patches either as I felt I was still putting nicotene into my baby's system. Ok.

Remember than each cigarette you didnt have this week has greatly benefitted your LO. Well done.

Wobble Im sorry your feeling so down. I cant really add much more as I think Nursesunshine has given some excellent advice but I hope your ok.

I have my scan tomorrow!!! I simply cannot wait but at the same time am terribly anxious that something will be wrong/ nothing will show up. I just wish it was this time tomorrow and I had the peace of mind.

Huge welcome emj1990 it is a strange feeling, isnt it? I often cried when I got too hungry when pregnant with dd (PML..neigh..)

catherineps huge welcome and congratulations. Looking forward to getting to know you over the next 7 months or so

Oh and also, who said they were freezing? think it was moomin? am so glad someone is as Im am constantly freezing to bits and I thought you were supposed to be much hotter during pregnancy. I literally have oil on for hours and also have lit an open fire in sitting room. Brrrr

it was me Barbie.....i am cold all day and then roasting at night. Hot sweats in the middle of the night :)

Oh thanks for that! am exactly the same, go to bed wearing fleecy pjs and socks and wake up mid night drenched in sweat, have to strip off completely and open all bedroom windows! feel better Im not the only one though..

Just realised our ds is 9 months today - where did that time go? (also cant believe Im over 2 months pregnant with another )

Morning ladies. Trust you all managed a good night's sleep (I had the hot / cold thing going on all night.....)

wobblewatcher - I hope you're feeling a little brighter today

emj1990 and catherineps - congrats and welcome!

moomin - thanks for the update on underwired bra advice from Bravissimo - I have been wondering for a while.

Wishing you all a barf-free day (apart from those of us who would like a bit for reassurance sakes!)

Hi Ladies.
I am feeling exactly like you this morning wobblewatcher. I am now 6+4 and was this time with DD and DS I could have won gold in the olympic chuck rally. But this time nothing except sore boobs.
I havn't even seen a midwife to book in yet thats not til november 7TH and if I havn't started anything by then I will be begging for a scan. I had some cramping last tuesday, very much like braxton hicks right at the top of my tummy which were scary for about half an hour, but that is the only negative symptom, so I suppose I should stop worrying, b ut I just don't feel pregnant.
Love the chubakka story I also have a DS Luke!
I am trying to keep myself busy to stop myself googling everything to do with babies/miscarrige/pregnancy, and started stripping the wallpaper in the lounge last night. xxxx
