February 2012 Baby Bus!

[m1nn1em0u5e]

So who is due February 2012?....

Im due 1st February with baby number 3!....Already have 2 Sons, age 8 & 4....

Found out on Monday :)

Thanks everyone. I still feel a bit daft about it though! I'm now thinking maybe he didn't understand English - he did have a suitcase with him. Or maybe he was just rude (along with everyone else in the carriage).

Anyway - I'm glad it's cooler today anyway. And I'm at home with an ill DD (she has a nasty fluey cold which I HOPE I won't be catching). I work from home on Wednesdays anyway, so that's two days off commuting - phew! Having said that usually I don't have a problem with getting a seat, because I do slightly short hours which means I miss rush hour proper.

Hi everyone - Im writing this as Ive just come back from the epu scan where although they could see the sack and yolk? the lady told me there were 2 areas of blood I havent had any bleeding , and am now worried sick , she told me to take it easy and I am having another scan next Thursday, Ive had 2 dds without all this referal to epu (they needed to rule out ectopic as I had cramps) has anyone else had this happen to them? She also said the areas showing up are fluid but most probably blood , You get over 1 worry and then another crops up..

Blissful, poor you! Never heard of this before but hope someone will be along who has. Fingers crossed everything is OK.

My friend had blood (and random bleeding), but has carried to full term. I hope your scan next week is more reassuring. In the meantime, do take it easy!

Fingers crossed for Thursday blissfull. Hope it's nothing complicated or can be managed easily

Well if work didn't know I was pregnant they may do now had a meeting with some partners this morning and the room was roasting. Was sweating like a don't know what and apparently went really pale. My boss kept asking if I was allright to which I was like I'll be fine I just need to keep drinking my water. Then bam im excusing myself and trying to find the toilets in a building I've never been in before! This is the first case of sickness so I am just hoping it was a case of being stuck in a sweaty room where a conversation was just going backwards n forwards n not going anywhere than anything else!

Thanks everyone - Ive got the kids gala day this afternoon and I must put on a brave face for them and show no signs of worry ,Its hard because only dh knows about this as its early days mumsnet is great for support thankyou for your replies , have a nice afternoon everyone xx

Hey all, sorry to totally hijack but will reply in a minute to people but i have a question.... Since i found out i was PG i have had such light cramping pretty constantly... Now it has concerned me but i have thought and seen something about cramps and ectopic pregnancy... Also i have seen that the cramping is the uterus growing, which again pushes my belief that i am having twins... also i don't know if anyone else gets this - If i have an orgasm i get really bad cramping that goes after 5 minutes. I have had no bleeding whatsoever but i am now starting to get concerned to actually ask about it. What would you do in my situation...?? I am still having all my other PG symptoms too such as sickness, heightened sense of smell and aversions to smells and food. Hope all that makes sense...

I hope everything turns out OK for everyone, it is so sad to read the thread and see some sad stories... My thoughts and wishes go out to you all and i hope you all the best with all this... Sorry i am not offering everyone individual support, i really wish i could but the thoughts above are really starting to preoccupy me xx

Innocent, I asked my mw about this as I have been having painfull cramps like period pains and she said it was quite common and not to worry. She also said that a stretching feeling was also normal.
I would give her a call, they are usually happy to reassure you. I can't remember if you have any other kids but she said it was more common in subsequent pgs

Bliss, this is why I have told the school gate mums, it is so difficult to take it easy if you are trying to pretend nothing is different. Take it easy

Little boxes that makes me angry others must have heard you bit no one offered grrrrrrr

Innocent, I got mild cramps all the way through last time. I think they're perfectly normal. From what I know about ectopic pregnancy (not much, admittedly), I think the pain involved is more than just light cramps, so I'm sure there's no need to worry. About the orgasm thing - that happened to me once last pregnancy (bit later on though) and it freaked me out completely, to the point that I didn't attempt it again until after the baby was born!

Can I get on the bus too. I'm now 8+6 with dc3 but have a bit of a big gap, 11 years between this one and the others. It feels like a first pg as I've forgotten so much. Had a dating scan this morning which was lovely and given me a due date of 2nd feb. Work already know as my job can be a bit physical and shouty so my jobs been changed. All of the boys at work are being lovely though.

I'm sorry there's been some sadness on this bus already but fingers crossed for happiness from now.

Welcome Tiredtrout. Love your name!

Blissful, there are many reasons for bleeds in the uterus that are not harmful to baby- fingers crossed you're fine

Innocent, that all sounds completely normal! Pregnancy is ALOT more painful than we are lead to believe before we experience it. And it does get more painful the more kids you have.

Littleboxes, I'd have gone skippy at them! How rude!!

Ds2 had his 8 month check today and is perfect! Always nice when someone else says that about your kids! Lol

LittleBoxes I wasn't there obviously but from what you describe it sounds like they were laughing at the guy who wouldnt give you a seat not at you!

You probably know this but you can get a badge to wear on the tub that says "pregnant and in need of a seat" or something to the effect

*tube! not tub

Hi guys,

I'm sorry to say I'm going to leave the bus :(. Went to the epu for my scan and nothing there anymore.

Am ok, feel sad but going to take it easy and try again in a few months or so.

I wish everyone all the luck in the world, have happy, healthy pregnancies and nice easy births! :)

Stinky x x x

So sorry stinky . Wishing you all the best.

Sorry to hear that stinky, will be thinking of you xx

very very sorry to hear that stinky. Look after yourself and God Bless.

We were very pleased to see a heartbeat. I am supposed to be just over 6 weeks but apparently the size was coming up at just under 6. Difficult to say at this stage.

I would have preferred big-for-dates. The one pregnancy I have had that went to term (DS), they thought I was bigger than my own dates all the way through (I still think I was right about my original date).

I have had a previous 6 week scan where they thought the baby-in-progress was a bit small, and the outcome of that wasn't so good.

Still, early days yet and we are still in with a fighting chance, amazingly, and I am ever so grateful for that. Also very grateful to have the reassurance of seeing the heartbeat as you don't always at 6 weeks!

Hugs and kisses for you stinky x x good luck for the future.

I've had no bleeding since saturday, so thats got to be a good sign, right?

Have a booking in appoinment with the midwife on the 5th, then an early scan at the EPU on the 12th.

We are moving on the the 22nd july, and just can't begin to face sorting out the packing, so my lovely husband has rang a local company to come and move us AND do the packing! I was suprised how reasonable it was actually, and they do it all, and move us, in the same day!

My youngest went for a trial day at her new school today and loved it so that is a weight off my mind!

The sickness has returned with a vengence, but have managed to eat half a tub of colcannon, just see if I can keep it down.

DH away working tonight so bed and bath for me with my new episode of true blood

Ahh all of you who have no symptoms..i hate you! Joking, of course. The nausea today is just SO bad, i think the low blood pressure is making it worse, almost passed out in town today when helping a friend pick her wedding dress - not cool.
I had no symptoms with DD at all, and none with my second pregnancy either (miscarried at 12 weeks) both which were girls so maybe this one is a boy??

Nausea, low blood pressure and sore boobs can just go now ive had enough :( Yes, i know i keep moaning but URRRRRGH.

Sorry its not good news for you Stinky :(

Hopefully my scan tomorrow will show good news, im so nervous.

Aw, I am so sorry to hear that Stinky

It's awful how some can have such great news on here and then you hear the sad stories too :( makes you realise how unjust this world can be.

Bill not bleeding is encouraging, definitely! Also your sickness is back! Have you taken another test? I can't remember if you have, worth trying. Something to ask the midwife about... However i may contact your EPU again and say you need this scan sooner. And that's good about your youngest LO!! Sounds like a great night you will have.

Here it's still encouraging, especially if there is a heartbeat, you may have messed your dates up or something like that, the hope is still there :)

Well my day has just being shit, i have being a hormonal mess, these days come once every 5 days. I hate everything and everyone, i don't know what to do with myself, then i get sick of it all and cry for 2 hours. DP is on nights and how much he has pissed me off today he can fucking stay there (excuse the language) (and btw, the poor guy has done nothing too) It's being that sort of day :( Thank you for the words about cramps - thats the thing, i don't want to have sex at all now due to the cramps :( and thats upsetting me... I will call MW tomorrow and ask about the cramps, but all your words have put my minds more at ease xxx

Sorry red forgot to answer your other question, I used to get cramps straight after, ahem, orgasm. Then when I was further on, maybe 5 months+ I used to get like a braxton hick, my stomach would go so tight. The first time it happened, at about 20 weeks, I thought I was going into labour! Not sure if that helps.

Stinky - so sorry to hear your news x wishing you all the best...

Innocent - I'm having weird tummy pains too - I'm assuming that it's ok. Trying v hard not to worry about anything because it makes the time drag. And I totally get the "DH doing my head in" thing even when he's done nothing. What is that all about?

Littleboxes - I hope as Lolarennt says the train people were ribbing the guy and not you - that was what I thought when I first read your post. It makes my blood boil when people are so rude though.

Hope all is well with others x I think MS is starting - unless I'm stuffing my face with unsuitable junk my tum feels decidedly yampy...

So sorry stinky :( good luck for the future

Bill good news :)

I have really got to wean ds now it is totally killing my boobs :(

DC2 due 12th Feb ish; but then DD was nearly 3 wks late so won't hold my breath.

DD will be about 20months at arrival. No symptoms really - but didn't with other pregnancies & with a toddler I simply don't have time to notice anything except occasional cramps. GP booking appt on Tues.

Bit nervous about managing pregnancy/ a newborn with a toddler and already stressing about labour. Ah well... It will be what it will be
