The Knicker-Checking Boobs-a-Swelling Carb-Craving Christmas and New Year Shaggers - all aboard the Sept 2012 Baby Bus!

[MissCoffeeNWine]

1,000 posts into the very popular September 2012 thread, here's a new one, for knicker checking, boob prodding, toilet rushing, oh and eating the entire contents of the fridge or McDonalds

Here's to our tiny beans and all the lovely ladies lost along the way.

Full steam ahead to booking in and positive scans aplenty.

Hi dorita. I'm 6 weeks. Feels like I have been pregnant ages.

Hi all, can I join in too? I've been lurking for a couple of weeks since my bfp, sorry for those who have been suffering trials and tribulations, and jealous of those who are a few weeks ahead! I'm 6+2; saw the doctor yesterday and she said I was due on 26th Sept, give or take two weeks. Nice. DH and I are still in shock, as we only gave in to the baby making urge in December, and had convinced ourselves that it would take ages, or three months at the very least. Trying not to get our hopes up! Oh well, we've got seven more months to get used to the idea (fingers crossed).

I'm really tired and rather nauseous - was pleased to actually throw up on Tuesday morning and felt so much better afterwards, but now I'm back on the water crackers and wishing I wanted to eat something healthier. It's just mean that when you feel horrible, you feel horrible, and as soon as you stop feeling horrible, you wonder if something is wrong and feel horrible about it. Only plus is that my skin is usually not that great, and it seems to have got much better the last few weeks!

Told a good friend at work this morning and she was super supportive and pleased (actually, she had pretty much guessed already, apparently I've been more tearful lately, who'd have thought). Going to tell the parents tonight, but not quite sure what the reaction will be, because I'm in New Zealand and they spent much of my last visit home dropping less than subtle hints about what a shame it would be if the potential grandchildren weren't living just down the road, or at least in the same country. At least they're already booked to visit in a couple of weeks so I can get lots of mother-daughter time in while I'm hugging the toilet bowl.

baileys welcome!! I feel like that most days so welcome to the club!! :-)

dorita my brain seems to have turned to mush over the last few days!! I forgot what a word was earlier and my OH was practically in tears laughing at me!! Love him really!

Watching OBEM and I love it!! Can't wait til its me!! (She says feeling rather wobbly about doing it all again!)

Hi baileys and pinpan.

Aww that couple were so lovely together sassle. I bawled my eyes out at the end. Don't know why I make myself watch it though. I had an elective (that was basically an emergency) cs so never felt a single labour pain. Watching OBEM freaks me right out (and I still to this day remember the twelve hours spent in the delivery ward listening to unholy screams :) ) as I'm due to have a VBAC this time. I know I will fall out with dp. He will be all mother hen and I will crack up at it.

That was meant to be a face not a :) why on earth would I smile at that?!

ballroom weren't they just!! So cute!! I was induced with my DD but other than that I had a normal birth, I had one proper contraction and begged for an epidural!! I was in so much pain!! Luckily, as it looks like I'm going to be consultant led, I will be giving birth in a hospital that offers epidural!!

eek, so tired, this is going to be about all I manage for today! Hi everyone, returners and new people :)

If dd doesn't wake up I think i'll do some work at home tomorrow am and go in for 9.30. She quite likes lie one, I'll take another one like that please!

*lie ins

shitting myself about my scan tonight! How am I going to get through today??

Thinking of you flipflopper. Hope it goes well.
I haven't felt sick today. Not sure if good or bad.

A sunny morning to everyone and we're nearly at the weekend, wahey...

I'm working from home today, as I woke up at 2am feeling sick and all I could smell was the fish DH had cooked himself for dinner. Never got back to sleep so as a consequence feel REALLY wiped out. Ho hum, at least my work were good about letting me stay in today.

Thanks SO much for all the suggestions for London early private scan places. We went to the Fetal Medicine Centre in the end (cheers waiting!) and they were brilliant, we heard the heart beat and saw we have just the one little bean (phew), in the right place and the right size. It feels amazing! I cried, obviously....

So I've happily rejected the job interview for the dream-but-only-2-years-FTC-job, it really wouldn't make sense at this stage. Dream job offers will come around again, and I'm convinced that having a recession baby is totally the best career plan!

Um, pelvic floor exercises - do we really have to start already? How are we supposed to know all these things?!

Am going in to work today to tell my boss I'm returning to work on Monday, I've had 5 months off since dd2 died, combination of mat leave and annual leave. They are not going to be very pleased I don't think but I certainly didn't plan life to turn out this way! Although I'm only 9 weeks I feel it's the right thing to do and if anything does go wrong I will need them to know anyway. Wish me luck!

Good to 'see' you Rightontime

Good luck to the ladies having scans this evening - hope you see lovely strong heartbeats

EastBeast that's fab! Isn't it amazing to see a little life there inside you! I'm only 7+3 so still got a while to go before I see my LO. Feeling horribly pukey today, and my cold has moved on to round two. Ah well, better to get the cold season over and done with early on I guess.

sasslejaney84 I was induced too but they insisted I had an epidural or else they'd have had to break my waters in theatre as I was suffering from polyhydramnios and had an extra litre of amniotic fluid! Think i might insist this time around too though, that's if I'm not told I need another section!
Whatever best of luck, sounds like you've had a pretty traumatic time, but I'm sure that even your boss isn't going to deny you your little ray of sunshine....
MadMonkeys same number of days pregnant as you and also much pukey.... can[t stop eating though. Had a muffin toasted with butter about forty minutes ago and already getting hungry. V little I actually feel like eating though, and that tends to be massively random. Beans and hard boiled eggs for lunch anyone?!

Hello, been to hospital. Not good news am afraid. Had scan and took them ages to find anything, so had to have a vaginal scan and then when they found something it was measuring far too small for dates and no heartbeat. :-( not conclusive so have to go back in a week and have another scan but if no growth in that time then can safely assume I've miscarried.... Not hopeful at all to be honest. Xxx

Afternoon all! (Well, not quite but very nearly!) This bloody cough is now doing my head in! Its also causing me pain if I cough and I'm laid down, its usually a pulling feeling, on the side of my lower stomach. A little worrying but only got feb to wait for my scan! They won't do an early scan for me unless I have more bleeding and I'm not risking sex again until I know everything is ok! (Much to my OHs pain!)

Had a lovely lie in this morning! My DD is off school as she was sick last night and can't go back to school for 48 hours after a bout of sickness!! So, if she is ok all day today we shall have to have a baking day tomorrow and spend the day eating our efforts!!

I think I need to go get my lunch now!! Starving!!!

ethelred so sorry xxxx

ethel omg, I don't know what to say :( so sad!! Praying you do have good news next week tho!

Oh ethelred I'm so so sorry to hear that. My heart goes out to you. x

pamplemOusse - I'm exactly the same - its only eating that makes the nausea subside for a few minutes. Cheese and crackers are doing it for me, and salt and vinegar crisps. Oh, and I think I mentioned before, fizzy water is great for ms. I usually chain drink tea/redbush, but just the thought of it turns my stomach at the mo.

sassle - my cough is really getting on my nerves now too. Had it for just over a week and apart from anything else it is keeping me awake half the night. The other half of the night I'm awake needing the loo! On which note, DD has just gone for her nap so I'm off for one too.

ethelred - so sorry x

It's ok and thx for your good wishes. I think the worst thing really is having to wait another week to know conclusively what we are 95% sure of... The nurse said not to dismiss it all yet, but the sonographer seemed pretty sure there wasn't much chance of a positive result.

I am just relieved really in a way that it's happened now as if I'd got to my dating scan and then found out, I'd have been more upset I think.

Ethel I am so sorry to hear your very sad news. I hope next week shows something positive, I will be thinking of you.
I am sick with a cold and off work today. I would probably normally go on in with these symptoms (very sore throat, cough and headache) but I wanted to take it easy and give my body a chance to rest and fight it. I have been a bit worried about the baby (10 weeks on Saturday!) purely because I've felt I'll but am reassured by everything I read that says the baby won't be affected but to watch out for a temperature.
I am so looking forward to the 20th when I have my 12 week scan, I am nervous too and just want to see that everything is ok. My nausea is much better this week which worried me a bit but a friend told me it's usually worse between 6 and 10 weeks so that makes sense. I still have sore boobs, am quite constipated and fairly tired but not terribly so things are getting a bit easier. Thank goodness!
I love all of your updates :)

So sorry ethel x

Ethel I'm so so sorry - thinking of you.

Ethel, resllt thinking of you xx
