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

HeyMicky I can totally understand how you feel. I've been through 2 restructures in 4 yrs and have had to reapply for my own job, it's shockingly ridiculous! What's more as it looks like there's another one on the horizon - right about the time I'll be on maternity My company, who is well known on the high street, is absolutely appalling at change and handles it very badly...bl

Gah! Stupid iPhone!!

...bloody bastards! I hope everything gets sorted out for you x

Ah yes bananas...I love these but have to have something else in my tummy before I eat one. Had a bit of an incident when I was hungover & ate a banana, the results weren't pretty

Morning all!!

As the topic is MS disasters I had one with tomato soup which ended up on the stairs as couldnt make it in time!!! Carpet is biscuit colour I was ever so popular that day lol woopsie!!!! Needless to say I wont be having that for a while!!

I have to go to work & pretend to be a normal person this morning but on the plus side I have a really close chum booked in after that knows I'm pg so can complain to my hearts content about feeling crap!!

Sorry for rambling hope everyone has a good day :-)

loopyla Yes, it's a right PITA. There is another job which is identical to mine, with a promotion and payrise, which I should get, and have been promised verbally and via email. I've been stiffed before and not been advanced when I was promised I would, so I won't hold my breath.

pinpan My family is just outside Brisbane - having them on the other side of the world MAKES it great in every way

Hello everyone!

Cotton and Hetty I am crossing my fingers for you both too. I can only imagine the wait is agonising for you both.

I have my combined scan and cvs test booked for 2 weeks time (wed and thurs) when I will be 12 weeks.

I will then have my own agonising wait for the results for about 2 weeks.

Feeling pretty good now but for the past 4 weeks I have felt really tired and pretty sicky. Im now eating smaller more frequent meals but still getting up at stupid times over night to go to the loo!

All the advise says that you should avoid drinking a lot in the evenings but this is when I feel most thristy and want to drink!

I hope everyone else is ok x

Hey micjey, i've got a work story to share with you, but it will have to wait until I get to work and can copy paste from another thread!. Doex bot work on my phone. Apparently neither does typing. Lo

Hi everyone! Welcome, new people and congratulations.

I am still taking the progesterone. I have a scan on Thursday morning at stupid o'clock. Will not relax until then.

Hi all, Hope every one is feeling well today

I came home from work with great intentions, stuck a chicken in the oven and thought I would do a roast dinner.....roast dinner has now turned into chicken and stuffing rolls I have hit a brick wall and CAN NOT get up from the sofa!

Counting down the minutes until I can get in my jammies and take my kindle to bed

Evening all. I have just got home from the hospital. There was much dithering between the doctors about whether to keep me in for another day but finally they agreed to let me go this afternoon. I am going to have a relaxing evening alone and pick DD up tomorrow. In many ways I would like to get her now but I need to make sure I am ok driving and I don't think collecting her in the evening when she is tired is a good idea. Also I need to try to get rid of all the marks left on my skin from the plasters that were holding my cannulas in. I had 3 cannulas in total and DD was quite freaked out by them.

Hope you are feeling better Running. I think having an evening to yourself is a great idea. You rest up and take care

Good to hear you've been released Running, hope you're able to have a relaxing evening x

Hi girlies! Hi to the newbies and huge hugs and crossed fingers and toes to the ladies with not so good news :(

9+2 today and still not heard from the midwife, wondering when I should contact her or if I just keep leaving it :/ Was feeling so well and spritely then on Sunday morning collapsed in a heap on the kitchen floor because my knee decided to dislocate for no apparent reason. Now strapped up tighter than a nun's whatsits and can barely move it or walk properly, and been advised that I'll probably need to keep it supported for the remainder of pregnancy.

Hope everyone is well, meeting my boyfriend's family for the first time on Sunday (we've been together 10 months, never met them!) and telling them about the baby, absolutely bricking it lol.

Welcome home, running!

Oooh Hetty, sounds scary! Good luck

Thunder - my mood improved greatly! I was so depressed. That's come back a bit today, trying to keep on top of it this time as I know what's causing it. Counting the hours until the scan now. I just hope there is something there and that its heart is beating.

Psammead - crossing everything for your scan this morning, what time is it??

Sorry to hear that your feeling down but it's totally understandable.

Phew! No one tells you about the dreams, do they?

Was just sick for the first time since Saturday, but oh my, the volume made up for the wait. No dinner left at all. TMI, sorry. Throat is killing me now. I'm just hunting for sympathy really - DH keeps saying that I'm carrying a litter of corgi puppies, which I think is supposed to make me laugh.

Does anyone else think that particular foods make them sick, or is it just random? I've got a miserable feeling that chocolate is not agreeing with me on a frequent basis, and I don't want it to be true!

Hope you all have a good Wednesday anyway - it was cold, grey and wet here, so it can only get better in the Far North!

Not so much food, but smells get to me. Just thinking about certain smells is enough to set me off!

Scan is at 8 tomorrow, 7 uk time. MIL is popping round to give DD her breakfast so we get there on time. Dreading it, but also wishing it would come sooner. Have a bad feeling. So unutterably desperate for it to be good news.

Psammead I'm sure ur scan tomorrow morning will reveal nothing but good news for u :-) know what u mean about smells I'm the same could throw up just t the thought of alot!!

Hope everyone is having a good day,I'm currently watching 'baby stories' on home & health which I'm not entirely sure is a good idea as its freaking me out a bit though it's too late for that now lol

Hey all. Sorry not been on for a while. Hope your not all suffering too much.

Goo luck for tomorrow psam. I hope the progesterone has done it's job and you see a nice healthy bean.

Psammead I hope your scan goes well.

Thanks. It really means a lot, actually because no-one knows about this other than DH.

Hi all, I hope you don't mind me joining you lovely people? I've been lurking for a while now but not wanting to post as I've been so ridiculously superstitious about this pregnancy since I got my BFP 3 weeks ago and I didn't want to jinx things. However as a die-hard skeptic I gave myself a good talking to and here I am.
This is my second pregnancy, I have a gorgeous DS of 17 months, and mumsnet was an absolute lifeline in my first pregnancy especially the early days when you can't really talk about what's going on and what you really need is heaps of reassurance that others are going through/worrying about/feeling the same things as you!!

We spent a long time TTC DS as DH has a v.low SC. We'd just got through to the consultant stage to see about some intervention when we found out we were pregnant. The consultant was shocked to say the least! But as he said it only takes one! ;) Anyway he told us that we would most likely struggle to conceive with the second and that we could come straight back to see him when we were ready for number 2. Imagine our surprise when we got a BFP the week before our appt with him! What can i say, he must be a very good consultant!! But, I think that must be why I'm feeling so superstitious about this one as it all seems too good to be true!

Also I'm not feeling nearly as sick as I did with DS. I've got the exhaustion, the heightened sense of smell & a belly that looks like I'm 17 weeks rather than 7 but not even a bit of queasiness - I'd never thought I'd find myself wishing for MS but I guess its the reassurance factor.
I'd forgotten how nerve-wracking these first weeks are waiting for the golden 12wks!! Google is not my friend at the mo. I keep scaring myself with all these awful potential outcomes & I know I shouldn't but it's an itch I just can't stop scratching.

Gosh! Sorry for the whole life story/ramble. Thanks already for all the inadverdant support you've been giving just from me reading your previous posts!!

35, 5'8, DC2, EDD 21st October!

PS SkaterGrrrrl do I recognise you from the 'due in September 2010' thread?

Welcome, BooStar! What a lovely story

I slept a bit, had bad dreams, leaving for appointment in 30 mins. Will let you know.
