Nov 12 babies

[Gingerbreadlatte]

Hello
I had a bfp yesterday. Due 1st Nov. Anyone else due in Nov yet ?

It's dc 2 for me!

Hello Ladies, can I join?! I got a BFP today, I am still in shock though we have been trying for a few months since our wedding :) Am home alone for the weekend as DH has taken DS (2.3 years) to his ma's waaaaay down in the south for a visit to leave me to work. went for a run yesterday and felt very crampy afterwards and was asleep by 9pm last night... thought sommat was (hopefully) up and a FRER this morning confirmed! Am just stunned and delighted. Not due AF until Tues so very, very cautious but feel rather nauseous today and completely shattered and crampy so guess the hormones are doing their thang.

Am due on the 20 Nov so the baby of the group so far! Will add myself to the list when I work out how, but in the meantime, hello and congrats to you all!

I'm finding it harder today and I've been crying because it's all getting too much.

I'm ok right now but it can flare up anytime. I think I'm at my worst around 2-3pm then it slowly wears away til the next day when it starts to build up and peaks again!
Can't wait to not feel like this anymore.

Sorry to hear that desperate it must be so hard. You can only do the best you can so keep strong!

I'm ok. Very tired but find it hard to believe its baby this early. Had a few moments of nausea but nothing major. I was signed off sick in my last pregnancy with hyperemesis so hoping to avoid that.

Looking forward to midwife cos I think it'll feel real then!

Thank you :)

I've done it once when preg with ds because I wanted him to be healthy it's only fair I do it for this baby too. I'd never forgive myself if I carried on and something happened because I couldn't give up.
I think tomorrow will be hard but after that it should get better

Well if you have done it once you can do it again. I'm sure of it!

Have you asked smoking cessation for help? I have never smoked so don't know of patches or group therapy may help?!

Tbh I'd rather go cold turkey and shout and scream if I have to. It's just the first few days which are hard but once they're out the way I'll be alot better.

Trouble is I've replaced them with food, at least I've got an excuse for getting big!

DH - I quit smoking a year ago now. I'm sure other people have offered their experiences on how they did it so I'll add mine in! I smoked for about 16 years and finally quit properly after reading Allen Carr's book The Easy Way to Quit Smoking. When I read the title, I thought 'yeah, right!' but it completely changed my thinking on smoking for the first time ever. I also bought a quit smoking book by Paul McKenna - it had a hypnotherapy cd with it and I had to listen to it every night for 2 weeks...think it was about 30 mins long. I think both are really worthwhile trying if you're going cold turkey. Since I read that book, quitting was a piece of cake - because I believed it was.

I also joined a forum for quitting smoking - forum.nosmokingday.org.uk/index.php I found these very helpful.

With the price of cigarette'a these days I think each book is about the same price as a pack of 20!

Good luck x

DH21 - can you not get one of those faux puffer things that deliver a neat but very small nicotine hit to manage the cravings? Would it not be an idea to not just use that and slowly wean yourself off if it is so hard? Better than relapsing totally... I dunno - have you chatted to your pharmacy or gp about it? Does sound like you could do with some help. I have been smoking a few times a day to cope with work stress but not much, am more of a social smoker. not puffed for two weeks as I was ill with flu and now am preggo i am not going back! i gave up totally for pregnancy with DS then it snuck back in my life - UG. I can't smoke in pregnancy - just thinking about that little heartbeat struggling away makes me feel too bad. You can do it! :)

Boo x

peaky I think I've still got the Allen Carr book from the first time I quit I might try and dig it out if ive even still got it. I didn't expect to start smoking again.
Well done for giving up :) I went about 1yr and 7 months it was really stupid to start again really.

boo maybe I should have done from the beginning trouble is I've now not had anything since half 7 yesterday morning so I feel like to start taking nicotine is a bit of a step back.
I can do it. I can do it!

Ooooh nooooo, that's not how it works! It is how you FEEL that is whether you are taking steps 'forward' or not. Really, if it makes you calmer then do it! Giving up by willpower is just so very difficult. I used my friend's puffer on a night out once (I can't go out drinkiing and not smoke - so I am a hermit in pregnancy!) and it was fab, I didn't have a single fag. And it doesn't have all the other poison.

ANYWAY you are doing a fab job. Only a day of shouting to go then all will be better :0)

I am meant to be going to London for my big birthday booze up this weekend with my lovely friends but I am going to cry off I think. I can't bear the idea of being in a nightclub until 3am completely sober, bloated, crampy, nauseous, hungry and knackered. I hope they aren't cross, although I hope telling them I am updiffed will sugar-coat the pill somewhat!

Anyway, I talk too much, I apologise. Is all very mememe too. I am skiving this is why.

BTW The Detective I LOVE your attitude to pregnancy and birth - I had a wonderful home waterbirth last time and will again this time. I hate it when people suggest or imply I would harm my baby by doing this by saying how 'brave' I was.

Is anyone else's memory up the spout already?! I really want to say things to you all but can't remember your names for the life of me even though I have been lurking for two days and some of you I know of from lurking around the TTC board!

x Boo

Hi Boo congratulations...my memory is shot...I keep forgetting simple things...sent one of the kids to school without lunch yesterday (took it up to him later tho) and hubby just sent me shop for beer and I got the wrong brand and Ive forgot what else ive forgot..lol

Hello just a quickie to add myself to the list.

DH you are doing great, well done! I always preferred giving up cold turkey - it was all or nothing for me, so know where you are coming from with that.

My DH doesn't seem to think I will have any symptoms yet, I wish he would read this thread - he reckons my being tired/ bloated round the middle/ lightheaded etc is all in my head. Not in a nasty way, just in a 'you can't feel pregnant yet?' ignorant way. The dumbass - I have corrected him but I can't help feeling he doesn't quite believe...

We're going out tonight - long standing dinner date at friends house, so I will have to pretend to drink as am not quite ready for an announcement!

Anyway, will stick myself in the list.

Dh you can do it! Is there a treat you could save up for with the money you'd not be spending on cigs?

Am exhausted. We got the keys to our house this morning and it's horrible. But i was in the room we'll set up as a nursery thinking how gorgeous it will be and got all a bit teary. Hormones methinks. We then spent several hours looking at bathrooms so if nothing else we'll at least be clean in our smelly shack. It's funny to think of some of you picking out furniture and prams whilst we're embarking on demolition an major rebuilding work.

Pipsicles - good luck with the flat selling and renting. It gets very nail biting doesn't it but will be worth it in the end.

There's a boo and a booboo on this thread! Thanks to both for the advice, I feel I'm over halfway there to feeling better already so I should be ok.

I can't remember who asked (lol!) but I'm having shocking memory problems or forgetting where I've put things etc it's all a bit scary!

Hey ladies,

Hello and congratulations to Boo and BooBoo (I bet I find that confusing before too long!) I can't believe how many babies are coming in Novemeber and we still have 10 more possible due dates to come, as well as anyone else who hasn't got round to joining us yet! There are 34 of us already and I reckon we could be on for about 50 in total?! Wow - what a lucky month!

Boo my memory is shot to pieces already too, not helped by the fact that it was only just returning to normal after last time! People keep commenting on whether I've lost more weight, which is always nice, but I can't keep a straight face when they say it!!!

Happy birthday to BooBoo and I'm sure it's someone else's birthday too (sorry for forgetting who's!)

Just updated my age and DC.

I know! what are the chances? Pipsicles - it's Boo's birthday, not mine!

Happy birthday to Boo! I don't mind being bbm if that's easier!

TomatoPP - that sounds really exciting! I am sure it will be hard work but I would love to do a renovation project. Do you grow Tomatoes? (ref to your name, obv!) I usually start sowing seeds around now.

My memory is ok but I am quite clumsy at the moment. Dropping things, a lot. doh.

Hope everyone has a right ol sat night piss up tonight (joke).

My sat night consists of decaf tea and a curly wurly

I've got really bad backache on the right hand side, no matter how I sit it won't go away. I think backache is going to feature highly on my preg symptoms.

Happy birthday boo!

I do normally grow tomatoes... And it was after successfully nurturing my first batch I reckoned I could look after a baby so we started trying... Not doing any plant growing this year cos we're in a tiny flat whilst doing the work on the house and the garden will be full of builders. I have my beady eyes on some sunny spots for next year's tomatoes

Dh - I've been struggling with backache too.

Hello yet more newcomers lol is this busier already than other threads tend to be?? Just thinking how busy the wards are going to be!?

How well is everybody eating just now? Today I have had scrambled eggs on toast, a cone of chips, half the smallest popcorn size tub in cinema and I am full and no interest in eating anything else. Am sure this isn't enough but I have plenty of fat stores to keep that baby going!!

Noticed I am starting to yawn my head off last two days around teatime but not so much that I need to go and sleep iyswim.

No memory loss here that's noticeable, still got baby brain from my first over 20 years ago

Oh I keep meaning to ask but forget maybe I am suffering lol - Detective do you watch One Born Every Minute? Just wondered what you MWs make of it?

I watched one episode, had eyes like dinner plates and was clutching a cushion...I'm not brave enough to watch again!

I am shocked by the amount of women who appear to stay on their backs in bed! Unless it's just bad editing, the first one I have seen move about was Ines in this weeks one who gave birth on her knees. All you first timers out there, don't stay on the bed, move!
