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!)

I forgot to say someone (sorry I can't remember who, there are sooooo many of us now),was asking about nct classes. Spoken to a couple of people who did them and said they were great. They're both still in contact with people who they met there and said they were very useful and informative. Well worth it I would say. Although they are a lot of money...... My hospital do antenatal classes, I'm trying to work out if they would be a good alternative.

wannaywambat I don't know why they don't just tell you these things when you get pregnant. Thank god for mumsnet eh!

maddyer I had super-faint lines, as in there's a line if I close one eye and tilt my head to the left, so I did a clearblue and feel much better after seeing Pregnant in black and white!

I can't believe how fast this thread moves! I have attempted to catch up several times over the past few days, and have finally managed to skim through most of the posts. It's great that there are so many of us going through this together!

Welcome and congratulations to all the newbies! I am so very sorry for those who have left the thread; I can't imagine how difficult a MC must be.

I'm desperately hoping that the glow and a cute little baby bump will soon replace my general feeling of being fat and spotty at the moment. Also quite tired and lazy, and got my first bout of proper nausea yesterday afternoon/evening, although I managed not to vom. I was lucky to find crystallised ginger at the station, which helped me keep it down for 30 minutes on the train, and it wasn't so bad once I got home and parked it on the sofa for the rest of the night.

We've been telling people, which is exciting but also making me nervous as I also have a bit of that feeling that it's not quite real. Can't wait for my scan - got the NHS letter yesterday, will be 2 December. Seems so far away right now!

Hope that everyone is managing to be productive and not completely giving in to spending all day thinking about babies!

8rubberduckies - that was cuppamoldybatballs idea about the notebook - does sound good though, give it ago - can't hurt to try.
I wonder if will work for doughnuts!!

Mummynumber2 I was given prochlorperazine tablets, not too much bother getting them, they are not licensed for pregnancy but they are commonly given for severe morning sickness, just means they haven't been tested on pregnant women.

Going to have a lie down now as head aching a bit.

Dungun girl, yeah I am nervous too, 7+2 today, I m/c at 9 weeks before I had DS, but the scan showed the baby actually died at 7 weeks :(
SSo am hoping horrible sickness is a good sign of a healthy bean. DH thinks I should push for an early scan, especially as we are also getting increasingly paranoid about twins

I'm finding it difficult to keep up with who's saying what on this thread it's moving so fast!

Heu guys! welcome to all the newbies :) I am sneakily reading this in my lunch break (hope no one notices what website I'm on - I haven't announced it yet!!!)

ANyway, feeling much better today migraine gone but have a stuffed nose - apparently quite common, my hubby googled it after one night when I supposedly snored Great - how romantic!

Feeling OK but salivating all the time, not really nauseous just off food which is not like me at all, I am starting to get worried about my nutrition - I just don't seem to be eating enough....

Thanks for the tip re NCT classes - I think we will def. go ahead with them!

I did NCT classes and NHS classes, plus a couple of extra sessions I was offered - baby care, pregnancy exercise, breastfeeding etc. All in all I think I did about 24 antenatal classes of one type or another. Probably a bit excessive but they pretty much covered all aspects!! I would recommend doing NCT and NHS - NCT are all about 'feelings' and the emotional side, plus you meet like-minded people. NHS classes are more 'this is a catheter', 'this is what you will need in your hospital bag' type info. Very factual. If you are lucky you will meet friends there but it's more pot-luck. The people on my NHS course were strange to say the least!!! It's good to do both and get the balance.

lol Janice - that's so true - we had the big crochet hook waters-breaking thing passed around the class

Very interesting info about the nct/nhs classes, I was thinking about hypnobirthing. Has anyone got any experience of this?

In other news (tmi) I have really bad wind.

We had a fake knitted booby which we had to breastfeed a doll from in my NHS antenatal classes . Even the Dads.

I didn't go to NCT classes so can't really compare the two, but I didn't find the NHS ones massively useful in this day and age of information overload from t'internet and books and suchlike, but I did meet some other Mums and we stayed in touch after our babies were born.

Hmmm, I'm really not very good at this posting malarkey, I just wrote out a message, previewed it and thought I had posted it . If you get this twice then I apologise :)

I was thinking...here's something light hearted to worry about that isn't wind-related :)

Take That have just announced 2011 tour dates that fall right through the drop zone and beyond. Would it be wrong to go and see them with about a week to go? :o

yellowtomato, you are not alone! [hblush]

Very interested in the maternity bra discussion, as I am about to need to buy some new bras. I'm afraid to go without the support of underwire (normally a 36D, but who knows now), but the maternity bras look so comfy, and I've already taken to wearing cotton sports bras around the house and to bed. Has anyone with a large chest made the switch during this or previous pregnancies? Did you feel the maternity bras offered enough support?

mummunumber2 I'm in the sixth week. I don't know where as I was heading for about a 9 week cycle when I got pregnant (the two previous cycles had been 7 weeks long including a chemical preg).

Based on ovulation and a bit of shimmying about I am going for starting a new week every Sunday, so I'll say 5+2. That is an optimistic figure though.

Still no more bleeding. Haven't told the doctor I'm pregnant yet as I don't want to tempt fate.

Lost my BBT thermometer and I usually do it every morning to see if my temp is still high. Arrrgh!

PS - my belly is still the same. But it's early days and I've got no other children so I guess that's why :)

Oh No!!!blimeythatwasquick It really is in the middle of the drop zone. My due date is 16th June and I would have to have CS as had to with DD and DS. So the question is would I A) be able to go to/dance/ and enjoy 2 weeks after the birth. and B) be able to leave a 2 week old baby.....I'm thinking no :( Her's hoping they announce more dates for August!!!

Lol at take that messing with due dates.

I've not been able to keep up with this thread at all. Also nervous as not got to 12 weeks yet.

maternity bras - I started wearing them as was told that the underwires could block the milk ducts in the growing boobs. You can get decent bras - I'd recommend getting fitted by NCT. Hot Milk do some lovely (but pricey) ones.

yellow I know someone at work who's wife uses hypnobirthing and had the perfect labour, no stitches, no pain relief, at home first baby. I did yoga and used similar techniques and found them really helpful. Didn't get away with no stitches though!!!

Oh my God guys I'm glad you brought up Take That.

I don't know what to do! I can't go as the dates in Birmingham and London are on/around due date.

I ALWAYS go. Plus I'm supposed to be getting tickets for other people and I don't know how to tell them I can't go without telling them I'm preggo, which is still a secret.

I'm due 28th June I think. First babies are usually late, too, aren't they?

And then I feel I'm tempting fate as there's no guarantee this pregnancy will succeed.

Plus, I want Mark Owen to ravish me, not to see my waters break

hi all, welcome to the newbies and congratulations.

Thanks sarahmumtobe - still getting the pains in my back but dr assured me that it was muscular afte all. Nothing in my sample to say otherwise.

Same here Kara will be quite a few months before i look anything but just a fat person. :)

Last time on my last day before going on mat leave to have ds i had a woman ask me why i was going off. i was quite surprise as i thought it was obvious at this point. Although she did assure me she'd done the same with another woman. Obviously just not an observant person.

Broughthimroundtotheidea - do you find people ask you if you like starwars? when we first had him people just kept saying ooh a fan of star wars then.

they all looked like they thought they were the only people to say the joke and that it was so funny, i didn't have the heart to tell them the name had been round before the film.

on the subject of bras, I've just bought a non-underwired bra in tesco, not maternity just grannyish. unfortunately, i was self-scanning and didn't remove the security tab so of course i set the alarm off and the security guard had to remove the tag from the world't unsexiest bra! i don't know who was more embarrassed but I guess plenty more of that to come . . .

Phew!

I had a couple of hours spare so I've gone through both of our threads and compiled our stats list, although I'm not going to post it until we've all had our 12 week scans. We'll probably have loads more people by then.

Does anybody want to hazard a guess as to how many of us there are?!?!?

oooh, I'm gonna say......38! Well done for getting all the info together, I'm impressed.

1,2768?

takethatlady - I have already thought of an excuse because I raved about the last time i saw them! and here it is...they were so good last time I'm worried I might be disappointed if they aren't as good this time and what with Robbie coming back he might just ruin it all :o vaguely convincing I think. Since I'm due around 11 June its a total no-go for me :(

yellowtomato - higher!
8rubbers - lower!

about 50

53??
