Oct 2012 - the first pips

[Winnie81]

Just got my BFP so I'm starting this off!

Let the growing of small pips begin!!

Phone app says due date 2nd October!

Welcome to all x

Thunder I am glad you feel better than you did yesterday

Please don't let OBEM put you off a home birth.
True shoulder dystocia is not very common at all. Sometimes they just need a bit of extra room to wriggle out. If you are within transfer distance of a hospital you would have plenty of time to get there should the need arise. You also wouldn't have had the salad spoons up your bits at home so would have been transferred in for FTP anyway.

The only reason the hubster is spooked is we are a 5 hour ferry ride to the mainland. I am still pretty much certain that I wont be going anywhere!

Pezzina I have gained 3lbs in 2 weeks and I'm not even eating to abate nausea, I just can't. stop. eating. I'm ravenous all the time.

I didn't watch OBEM and I'm sooo glad!

PopcornMouse Yikes I daren't get on the scales - goodness only knows how much I've put on.

Ho hum - have just eaten an apple so thats a point for being good.

My new bathroom scales arrived this afternoon. I have tried them out. I am the same as I have been for the last god knows how long so that's good. I am eating like a horse though so not sure how long it will last.

I think its the fact I have lost all my alcohol liquid calories

Oh and one other thing.....since I got that pink line 10 days ago I haven't had 1 single cigarette ....I am mucho proud of myself for that one!

Well done gizzy!!!

Pezzina Congrats on the house!

I still haven't told anyone! My parents are coming to stay in April so I might try to hold out until then. I think MIL will find out in a couple of weeks because I'd like her to watch DD while I have my appointment.

Starving, got to eat, see you all later!

Oh well done, Gizzy!

Me too Gizzy - completely given up. I find it so easy with such a good motivation. Why on earth I've gone back to it when they're toddlers I dont know. Silly

Well done you, too!

Thanks ladies

RnB Well done you!! And you are so right....I occasionally get the odd thought but haven't had a real craving yet. I did the same with the #3 and could kick myself for starting again. Tis amazing what you can do when you have a real purpose

Can I join.?? Had my BFP on Monday, will be due 15 Oct. Second pregnancy, following MS in September (recognise at least one of you here from previous forum). Starting to get some signs, not feeling hungry, not sleeping (panic/excitement), sore boobs, but feeling really good so trying to make the most of it in case sickness starts. Seeing GP monday. Seems a bit pointless as last time they just asked if I was taking folic acid, but they insisted. Can't believe there are 300 + posts already!

OBEM - oh my god. DH has banned me from watching any more!

On hols from tomorrow, thank goodness. I plan to sleep in lots and have a nap EVERY DAY. Might have to pee on a stick tonight just to make sure before I head off as will tell friends while I'm there.

Welcome cottonsock And well done to all the ladies knocking cigarettes on the head

Welcome, cottonsock!

Hi cottonsock, congrats :) and well done with no smoking gizzy!

I just watched OBEM,... I thought her husband was amazing, lovely couple and a good outcome in the end thankfully (I guess they won't show any bad outcomes, but trying to remeber they are very rare). Next weeks must be easier watching, or I might have to quit (I say that, but I'm hooked ;)

I have just enjoyed reading the whole thread to catch up :) so thought I would add, I'm from Wales and also a shorty at 5.1". (My name was actually shortlady in my previous thread, but I changed it for luck). I peed on one stick on Mon, negative, but didn't trust it, so on tues got a 5 pack of first response during lunch hour. Peed on one as soon as I got to the office and BFP straight away. Now I have 4 more tests sitting waiting. I have moved them from bathroom to bedroom to remove tempation. So funny to read you were all doing the same. I also got an ovulation kit a few weeks about, so about £40 I could have saved!
I am knicker checking, and imagine I will until at least 12 weeks, last MS was at 11. Will ask about early scan, but don't know if I'm convinced I want one yet. Hopefully some sleep happens tonight for us all..

Morning ladies

Congratulations and welcome Cottonsock
I peed on my last stick yesterday Well it would have been a shame to waste it!
Oh and thanks for the clarification on your height! I can rest easy now

6+3 today and feeling crampy and sick.....I look like I have been hit by a truck.
I must get out and enjoy the sunshine today.

The chooks have been laying me some lovely big brown eggs.....shall I make cake or quiche???

Just updating the list! Its huge!!

whispers Can I join in too? GP reckons 26th Sept "give or take two weeks" and first babies are always late (or so I hear)... Pezzina and I could blaze a trail. Plus most of the Sept thread ladies are 2 or 3 weeks ahead of me and they're mostly enjoying scans and retreating sickness already.

I'm 30, 7+3, 5'5", from NE England but living in Chch, NZ, and this will be (fingers crossed) DC1.

Welcome, pinpan!

Morning all.

Woken up to bleeding this morning - like pink mucus - what does that mean?! The Epu at the local hospital were not interested and just said "well, it's very early". Do I just wait and see what happens then?

Gizzyboo, I'm missing from the list, but not sure if you'll need to add me on :-(

Canyoudo another test, isheisnthe? Bleeds arre common, but you will be worried.

Morning Pinpan Congrats and welcome.

I am very much amused at everyone adding their heights to their first posts
Maybe we should add them to the stats

Morning Psam

isheisnthe try not to worry too much my lovely. Lots of ladies have bleeding and spotting in the early weeks. Take it easy and put your feet up. Have a
Now what are your stats?? lets get you on the list

isheisnthe, I have a hunch that pink (as opposed to red) and mucus are probably okay, though I totally agree with Gizzy that a cup of tea and putting your feet up is in order if you possibly can.

GizzyBoo - how about chocolate cake and bacon quiche with your lovely brown eggs? Now I am hungry.
