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!)

just had one today at 6+5 and my next is at 10+5 but it seems to vary around the uk by the looks of it

Well ladies this is gonna be a moaning post -sorry.

Im 8w+1d and have a private scan boooked tonight at 18.30 and i'm quite literally shitting myself.

Had 2 scans at the EPAU (5+1 & 6+1) already due to bleeding and stomach cramps but they seem more than happy to 'see what happens' and see me at 12 weeks for a scan IF i make it that far.

Took yesterday & today off work (as holiday) as i knew i wouldnt be any use. Tried to keep relatively busy today but without doing anything hard.

Now waiting for DP to arrive (we don't live together) but sending myself loopy with 'what if' scenarios.

Hope everyone is well & my sincere thoughts & best wishes are with those whose are having a hard time.

Cameli I am thinking of you. Best of luck this evening. I have been there when pg with ds1 and I know how difficult it is when you do not know what is happening.

I'm thinking of you 'camili'. It's really bad you've had to pay for your own scan! My hospital have been wonderful and are scanning very often. Really feeling for you. I hope it all goes well.

Good luck Cameli, will be thinking of you at 6.30. Do try not to worry

Am thinking of you cameli. Fingers and toes crossed

So sorry to hear your sad news 'Mudandmayhem' and 'IamMrsJones'.

Hi to all the newcomers over the last few days- have not been on here recently as busy at work and caught a cold from DH, and now on call all weekend :-( (sorry for the moaning!)

Glad your first appt went well 'Moomin'. I am due the day after you. I had a brief GP appt a week ago, but have not been given a date for my booking appt with midwife or first scan.

Good luck everyone with your scans! Can't wait for mine :)

Mild nausea struck today - am just off my food! Which
is very unusual for me :)

Hi all!
Really sorry to hear about the bad news ladies, thoughts are with you.

I'm off for a scan tomorrow, really excited but so scared too, wondering how I'm going to keep a full bladder when my reaction when I'm nervous is straight onto the loo!

Hope everyone has a great weekend, gosh this thread is going fast hard to keep up!

Welcome newcomers!

BTW has anyone done the NCT classes in London? Are they worth it? I heard that they book up really quickly and have a place held but wanted to get some opinions before I commit xxxx

Thanks supersunnyday. Did you have ivf too? If it's any help I didn't have any real symptoms until around 6 weeks, then they came with a vengeance. But I think everyone and every pregnancy is very different.

Beesok I've been vaguely looking into NCT classes too. I'm sure I know a couple of people who have done them so I'll ask them whether they were worth it.

Thanks mummy :) they are around £240 so I was wondering whether worth the money - I'd rather buy some little DRESSES he he he he

misshoohar good luck with the scan. How many weeks are you? Did they tell you it would be an external scan? I think (unless you've been told otherwise) scans before 12 weeks are usually internal, which you need a very empty bladder for. It's quite possible my hospital do it differently though. Hope it goes well.

evening all. welcome newbies.

if i wasn't feeling sick before i am now when my toddler threw up in bed, dh had to sort the bedding as i kept retching.

Cameli - i hope the scan went ok.

mummynumber2 - sorry to hear about the little one.

is anyone else having to wait till the 12th week for the first scan? everyone seems to be getting early ones.

Hello thanks for new thread wonnay. Have had rough couple days with ALL DAY LONG sickness. To the point where I was in tears this morning, so exhausted and emotional. Feeling pretty miserable so going clothes shopping tomorrow for some interim gear as other stuff too tight :( It will all be worth it in the end I'm sure :)

IamMrsJones and Mayhem, I am truely sorry to hear about your losses. I hope you have alot of support in RL and please be kind to yourselves. x am thinking of you both.

Oh my God!! just cant believe how quickly this thread is moving - read it yesterday and had just came on to post but spent the last hour catching up on over 20 something pages!! must be serious baby boom!!!.
(I really need to be doing an assignment due next week rather than Mnetting - am leaving myself terribly on the long finger)

I am so sorry all, the thread is moving way to quickly for me to keep up. I have just read through all and had loads of replies/ things to add but typically forget it all now. Just want to apologise for being terribly impersonal but that I am really enjoying reading everyones experiences/ news although I dont comment on it. Its so helpful to know others understand and I really appreciate you all big welcome and congratulations so all the new people again!!.

I would agree with Moomin, about trying not to worry about lack of symptoms and just concentrate on growing your little one. Honestly, I know everything is such a worry at this stage but all of our sensible minds know that theres no evidence to say that no symptoms means trouble. On the other hand, I have had to book a private scan for as soon as possible (next Tues, 26th, I will be 8+6 - almost 9 weeks - do you think this is far enough to see anything?) reason being, I am so so so ill I am now terribly worrying that the extent of vomiting etc is affecting baby and that maybe he/ she isnt growing properly. See? just cant win either way!! too much symptoms/ too little... roll on 12 weeks for us all.

Am really pleased about scan I found. General cost around here is ?120 and I would have to travel a minimum of 2 hours (probably up to Dublin), have found one today, about 20mins from my place for ?65 and have heard loads of good reports. Its actually in a GPs. Receptionist sounded just lovely and said its just a 2d scan which suits me down to the ground because I really just want see if alls ok.

Am really worrying about announcing this pregnancy (hopefully!) at 12 weeks for the past while as SIL is ttc for the past 15 months and nothing is happening. Shes getting very anxious and I just feel bad - this is our third and I was pregnant this time last year and it just doesnt seem quite fair. I was hoping and crossing everything that she would announce some lovely news before we did, or at least it would be in the pipeline but she visited today and no.. definately not. . Also feel bad as every so tactful DH said to her during a chat about ttc a couple of months ago that he just has to have a bad thought and Im pregnant. hmm.

To make this even worse, when SIL visited (in tow with MIL) they told me that BIL and his girlfriend announced their (second) pregnancy last night. She is 7 weeks. (noone knows about us yet as very nervous 8+2 today). SIL was happy for them but was saying "oh God, wish it was me too!! am so jealous", I just feel that our announcement (please God) in a few weeks is going to stick the knife in a little further.

Sorry for selfish post.

Hope you are all well

barbielovesken I was your sister in law. Was TTC for over 3 years. It did hurt a bit when everyone around me was having babies but to be honest I was genuinely happy for them. Don't feel guilty about your pregnancy, you can't put your life on hold. If I were you I'd make sure your sil was one of the first people you told, the worst thing is when people avoid telling you. It will happen for her at some point.

The sickness is awful isn't it, I've never felt like this before in my life! I was a bit better today though, only threw up once! But lots if dramatic gagging on several occasions. I'm now eating 5 small meals a day and my lovely dsd1 cleaned the kitchen (after a bit if bribery) so I went in there this evening with very little drama!

morning all. Hope everyone is ok. had an awful sleep last night thanks to the rain.

Barbie - i agree with mummynumber2, don't feel guilty cause it'll ruin this time for you, and make sure you're the first one to tell her without everyone else there and before anyone else can tell her.

Can I join in please? I'm 4+6. We've been trying for years, with one miscarriage a few years ago. I've been losing weight for fertility treatment, so this BFP is a nice surprise!

I'm so worried though. I think I'm going to book a viability scan, but I'm scared of even doing that! I'm even paranoid that posting this will be unlucky. I'm not normally superstitious.

I'm having really strong cramps, have been all week. Is anyone else having this? I've looked at lots of things and they say it's fine, but it's impossible not to worry!! Especially as I'm getting increased cm, which gives that trickly feeling. My heart is racing every time I go to the toilet. I have also got sore nipples, so quite a lot of symptoms for this stage but I had them all last time too so it's not a lot of comfort.

Sigh. I can't wait to get further on and be able to enjoy this a bit.

Congratulations MainlyMaynie and anyone else I've missed.

Barbielovesken I think it's lovely that you are being so considerate regarding your SIL and I'm sure she really will be delighted for you - even though it will prob be upsetting for her also. I agree with mummyno2 and make sure she's one of the first people you tell.

cep I need to wait until at least 12 wks for scan - last time it was 15 wks [hshock] - and that was the only one I got. Apparently in our NHS area now, we get another at 20 wks but this is a new thing.

I had to pass on a fundraiser ladies night last night, even though I'd bought a ticket - I just felt so lethargic, sick and rubbish [hsad]

eight weeks today

Good Morning! My God, I think my body must be preparing me for night feeds, awake at 1am, 3am and 5.30am last night . Feeling sick again this morning and boobs are starting to get heavy, so symptoms are starting to appear!

BarbielovesKen it's very difficult when you have to tell someone who is ttc, but I think the advice you have had so far on here is right, especially telling her in person before you tell anyone else so she hears it first-hand. I met up with a friend on Wednesday night and decided to tell her (she has been ttc since May) as I don't think I can keep it secret from everyone [big gob emoticon]. As soon as I told her she looked really upset and told me she had had ERPC a couple of weeks ago after miscarrying at 9 weeks . They had kept it secret from everyone all that time, and I thought she'd had flu a couple of weeks ago, not going through something so horrendous. I feel terrible and awkward and wish I'd not said anything to her now.

Anyway, on a much lighter note, Welcome and Congratulations MainlyMainie! We are most likely going to be due buddies, as I'm not sure of exactly when I OVd, but hit around the 5 week mark this weekend. I am having cramps and that trickly feeling too, and have been doing a ridiculous amount of knicker-checking! I didn't really get the cramps thing so early on with my first pregnancy, but have been suffering quite badly this week, and have been a bit worried at times. It's all normal though, and means things are stretching to accomodate your bean. I'm too superstitious to put myself on the stats list on this thread yet!

Well, I hope everyone has got some good stuff planned for the weekend. I have my first drinking event this afternoon to wing my way through. My friend is having a party for her ds, with cava for Mums, so think I'm just going to say I was running late and had to drive. Not so easy to get out of is an early halloween party tonight at a friend's, which will mean lots of boozing (and it's a 5 minute walk away so can't use the driving excuse). I have decided to hide at home and tell them I'm knackered, as it's all a bunch of really close frineds and I know they'll pick up on the fact I'm not drinking and have also stopped smoking, as they all know we're ttc, so have hawk eyes for all changes in behaviour. Much easier will be Sunday Lunch with my Mum tomorrow, who knows our news!

Happy Saturday everyone! I'm 6+6 today. Think I'll ring the MW next week to get booked in.
Will be preparing for a fight - I would like a home birth, if I can't do that I want to go to Hartlepool as they have a proper MW run birthing centre, where as my experience at North Tees (my nearest hospital) was appalling.
I want my own room - I had to share a ward with 3 other mothers, one who snored like a freight train and the other who has about 3000 relatives descending on her, so I hardly got any sleep, plus I was furious they turned my friend away who had driven 25 miles to sit with me while my DH went to pick up his ds from his mum's Plus the paeditrician was a biggest prat going and didn't seem to have a fucking clue about bfing - he told MW to tell me to stop bfing my 2 day old son and give him a bottle Luckily MW told him to go forth and multiply
I wish I had gone back to tell her that I had bf DS for 2 years 7months lol.

As for current pregnancy symptoms.
Awake at 4am - Yep
Morning, noon, night nausea and occasional vomiting - yep
Tired - yep
Emotional - deffo! I cried after reading a story about an abandoned kitten (who now has a lovely new home) in a Cats' Protection League book!
