January 2012: just POAS!!!

[Spagbolagain]

Anybody else out there?????
Very surprised, had only SWI once and I thought we had missed the window of opportunity. It seems not, BFP yesterday, royal wedding treat. EDD about 2nd Jan I think.

#2 for me, keeping fingers tightly crossed as had a bumpy ride before conceiving DS. Very excited and slightly terrified. :)

Mummaroo I feel like I'm kidding myself too. When I was pregnant with DD, I was sure they would call me a liar when doing the scan. Completely irrational but I can't make the feelings go away.

My bump is starting to show but I weigh the same. I'd nearly need to POAS everyday to keep me convinced.

Oh I know hunger! Even after a 3 course meal last week my stomach was rumbling 45 mins later

I know what your meaning about it not feeling real, first time round I felt semi normal right up to the scan. Only once I saw the baby did I start believing it was really happening. This time round, I feel very pregnant.

When looking at baby clothes today in Tesco I asked dd if she would like a little sister or brother. Half expecting her to point at boys or girls clothes. How surprised was I when she replied 'sissy' dd hardly ever talks, she prefers to point. Very proud mummy moment!

I'm glad I'm not alone, I kept thinking I was going nuts, because I do feel pregnant, just not that there's a baby starting in me!!

Right now all I want is chicken nuggets so DS and I are off to Morrisons!! Ooh and apples too I need more apples!! Ooh and pineapple.... Ok I'm going now :o

Oh and shonnomanom what a lovely moment for you to have, I too would have been very proud :)

soooo with you on the food front, I've been craving jacket potato since yesterday but my oven is broken, and a microwaved spud just won't do. Luckily my local deli does some pretty tasty baked potatoes so I went there for lunch!

It hasn't done anything about the craving though so I'm currently trying to figure out if I can somehow use the microwave and then the grill to finish one off!

Countdown until the new kitchen in July though....

Thanks so much, everyone. It's so nice to have this support. I've had a tiny bit of brown blood today, but nothing like yesterday. No tiredness yesterday or today, but I hope that's just because I'm so stressed out. Am hopeful that things are settling down, though. Got my scan appt for 10 June, so fx I'll make it!

Think you made the right decision, hotcrossSES. I would want the distraction, and did find being at work yesterday and today helped.

Hope you had good news at your scan today, nanny.

That's really positive news, Buttertart.

Am very envious of all of you who are hungry. I have no appetite at all... DH is in the kitchen now cooking me a stir fry, so let's see how it goes.

Keeping fingers crossed for you nanny

cheese, give me cheese, just plain old cheddar, but cheese none the less.

:)

Hope things went well for you nanny and fx for your scan Buttertart.

Ive also lost my appetite, the thought of food makes me feel nauseous. Also really tired and feel crap. Hoping I snap out of it soon, I know it doesnt compare to everyone else's worries but its making me sad.

I just typed my posting and lost it all - I'm not picking this up quickly!

I hope Buttertart, Nanny and Hotcrosses are relaxing this evening - big hugs to you all and try to get lots of sleep if you can.

I have to keep getting up in the night to pee which is driving me bonkers - I was awake for more than an hour last night and heard the dawn chorus which was very disheartening. I usually pass out for 8 hours and DD slept through the night early on - so this must be the reminder/payback!

d0gFace, everyone's worries matter. It took us 15 months to conceive this time around, and I kept thinking that nothing would bother me because I'd be so happy to be pg, but of course, that isn't the case. I'm so bloated my trousers leave a mark on my belly, which just makes me feel fat, which makes me irritable, which makes me feel guilty because I should just feel happy. So I understand .

I bled again this morning

So that's twice now, both when I went for a poo (tmi sorry but important to note). Was a bit more than what I would call spotting, bright red, but only there on wiping at the time.

5+1 so too early to be scanned or anything. Am thinking I will just wait it out until the end of the week, and see what happens.

I hate this, and I have noone to talk to. DH is in London and I'm not going to bother him....
My MIL knows but she's gone away this morning...
Think I might have to tell SIL. Will see how I feel in a couple of hours.

supadupa - it's so worrying isn't it :( Also really hard when there is no one to talk to. That's why I'm a bit of a MN addict!
Really hope the bleeding stops for you.

As for me, bleeding stopped lunchtime yesterday, then started again in the evening (enough for a pad) but seems to have calmed down to just brown stuff when I wipe this morning. Working from home today so will try and relax as much as poss.

Hope everyone else is ok this morning.

Oh and ghosteditor - we had a new kitchen last year and it is FAB!!!

oh ladies, sounds like you're having worrying times. I guess you just have to keep thinking about all the many many MN stories where people had bleeding and still have happy healthy babies at the end of it. Wishing the best for all of you having bleeding.

I just had to book a table at an event next March and I keep thinking 'teehee, I won't be there though!'. Drives me nuts not being able to say anything and having to make plans that I may need to break! Having said that we've bid for loads of olympic tickets and I think I'm assuming I'll just crack on and take the bub (fx anyway) to most of the events as hopefully I'd still be on maternity leave.

hotcrossSES any kitchen novice advice? We did the bathroom and that involved ripping out walls and floors any everything [shudders] which I don't care to repeat. DH and his pa will be doing most of the work though so at least it's under our control. The people who had the house before did a half-assed bodge job on pretty much every room in the house. Bizarre.

got my booking in appointment!! spoke to the midwife about the bleeds and she has reassured me a bit. Now know what the process is if it gets worse....

oh happy days

I'm getting up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet too knittiekitty, and I'm also awake for about an hour afterwards, if not longer. I'm usually such a good sleeper and DS has always been the same, pretty much slept through from 3/4 months. However, I remember I was like this when I was pregnant with DS too, but not my last pregnancy (which I unfortunately lost) so I'm deciding that's a good sign??!!

Has anyone heard from/seen Nanny around the boards? I'm worried that she hasn't been back on and I hope she's ok.

supadupapupascupa and hotcrossSES I'm sorry to hear you're still having bleeding, I really hope it settles down for you both soon, especially as it's too early for scans . Sending you both hugs as I really feel for you that your DH is away.

supadupapupascupa I'm glad your MW was able to put your mind at rest slightly

I've got my first scan next week when I'll finally be 8 weeks! This pregnancy is going to drag in if these first few weeks are anything to go by. I also got my official appointment for 1st scan through on the 23rd June. It seems so long away.

Morning everyone, hope those of you with worries are resting up and taking it easy.

Nothing much to report here, apart from an awful sense of paranoia that something is going to go wrong. Still having cramping but symptoms still here too so I'm just being ridiculous and feel really bad reading about those of you with real worries and issues :(

supadupapupascupa really pleased the MW has reassured you, hopefully you will be able to get some proper rest now.

Browncoats 1st scan?? How exciting!! I'm with you on the concern for Nanny I was thinking about it last night [whilst desperately trying to get comfortable in bed] hope she is ok. Was hoping that this pg would go quicker having a toddler to chase, but only found out on Tuesday and it's already taking forever just to get to the weekend, so January feels eons away. The first trimester was the worst last time, not knowing whether to tell people or not and everytime I went to the loo I would look down with one eye closed always nervous that blood would appear. My heart goes out to those who are experiencing that and I hope that you get as much rest as possible x

I am soooo tired today, woke up about 3am, after lying there for about half an hour, went for a wee and then could NOT get back to sleep for ages and ages, heard all the little birdies wake up and start their cheery welcome to a new day [wanted to kill them all] and finally dropped off just before the alarm went off!!! Therefore DS has gone to Mum's for some fun with her and I aim to get some housework done and then have a rest... signed off work at the moment with a prolapsed disc, so they're going to love me when I finally get back there and tell them I'm pregnant!! Stressed me? Never

hi ladies

hope you don't mind me joining your group, just did a pregnancy test this morning and have discovered I am pregnant again too! very excited but a bit shocked as didn't think i would get pregnant again so quickly!! this will be baby number two and will be arriving end of january fingers crossed!

Hi scarlettsmummy2, welcome and congrats!

Been thinking of all of you having bleeding and worries, sending you all positive thoughts.

I was also up for about 3 hrs in the middle of the night last night. Woke up for a wee, then lay in bed feeling really sick and unable to get to sleep. So annoying, now exhausted and still nauseous. Think I might take a biscuit to bed with me tonight.....
Also horribly constipated which adds to the bloat. Hey ho:)

Afternoon all.
Hope all those having bleeds are feeling better today, and welcome scarlettsmummy2 - have you worked out your due date yet? There is also a list up the page somewhere you can add yourself to.
mumaroo I feel your tiredness pain. I can't stop weeing at the moment, and I woke up 3 times last night for a wee - unbelievable! I don't know what has happened to me!
ALso booked my booking appointment with the midwife - not until I am 9+4, as they are fully booked for 5 weeks and I have to take ds, which will be a nightmare as he will get really bored hanging around in the midwives office for an hour!
spagbolagain I read in a folk medicine book that 2 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of cider vinegar disolved in a glass of water does wonders for ms. I am have got the vinegar in just in case!

Thanks tummytickler. To be honest, that sounds disgusting, but I guess anythings worth a shot if we feel bad enough:o

It does sound disgusting! I have it in the cupboard in case everything else fails and I am desperate!
