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!

horsey I think that's true, I foud out I was preg with ds not long after my grandad passed away then we had a big drama with dh's mum in hospital for months and ds was fine all through it, he's a v healthy bouncing toddler now!

Hope your mil is ok :)

Good luck at the hosp tits

Hi everyone. Well I had my early scan today (due to previous mcs, among other reasons) at 6w3d. There was a fetal pole (yay!) but the cavity (right word in English?) was smaller than expected with the various dates I was able to give him and there was no heartbeat...

Have been given progesterone pills and have to go back in two weeks to see what progress there is, if nothing happens before.

So two weeks of waiting and seeing. I think this is the major disadvantage of early scans, to be honest, but I do prefer to be prepared for the worst. Doc says it ain't over til the fat lady sings, so to speak, and remains optimistic that things may have taken a little longer to get started than they sometimes do.

Anyway, don't want that to depress anyone - I'm going to try and stay optimistic (and busy) and, well, there's not much else anyone can do :)

Oh that sucks PR, really hope that it's just a case of dates being early, fetal pole is a good sign though yes?

Yes, I think so. Will wait and see. Things could go eother way so am not going to speculate too much :)

I sound calm, but have been a nervous wreck all day and am now putting things in perspective.The worst thing of all is now having to wait. I'm not a very patient person.

Keeping everything crosses for you pr - I would be an absolute wreck on your case. All the best to those in hospital - hope it all works out ok.

Am sat in the waiting room for my gp. I only joined a couple of weeks ago so hope she's lovely. I'm sure I'll then get sorted with all the midwives etc here.

PR keeping my fingers crossed for you, 2 weeks seems like an eternity right now I'm sure.

Hello to those people who say they have the same edd as me :) I'm going to see my GP tomorrow, I couldn't wait any longer to get things started.

Other than tiredness I don't really have any symptoms. I thought I was suffering from nausea on Friday and Saturday, but that seems to have gone so maybe I was imagining it. Is it normal to have no symptoms?

I'm going on for a Hen Weekend on Saturday where one of the activities is cocktail making and another is a champagne afternoon tea. I'm not sure how I'm going to hide from my friends that I'm pregnant!

It's v normal to have no symptoms, I had nothing at all with ds not even slight twinges. You're just a lucky one!

Hi all, please can I join too, November seems a busy month! I am due 10th November, I think. Already have a DS, 7 and DD, 5, so this is number 3. Seem to have been having a sort of melt down since found out - even tho always planned a third now feel like most selfish and greedy person ever who has possible ruined her DCs' lives (middle child syndrome, sibling rivalry, lack of individual attention, etc, etc!) cos she wants another baby! Hoping it is just a big overdose of hormones making me so anxious....!

PR have you got plenty planned to pass the time?

Well my symptoms were really obvious a week ago (nausea, dizziness, extreme thirst) but they all seem to have cleared off since I got my bfp

No cravings yet and I am determined to not put as much weight as I did last time. Not that my cravings were the problem last time (pineapple, tomatoes and eggs) just that I ate double portions at just about every meal ...must be more restrained!

Aw daisy I bet they will love it!

Can I just wallow in my own pity for a minute please? :(

Went to work this morning, and it was busy busy busy. By lunch time the cramps which have been on and off for a week were getting worse and worse. Now I know the more I do the worse they get, but I was nearly in tears. So colleagues shipped me off to EPAU, where I begged not to be scanned, but they were quite insistent that the pain I was having negated a scan.

Wish I'd just asked to go home instead.

I'm 5 weeks 6 days today. Except apparently I'm not. I'm only just 5 weeks at a push, and no FH seen.

I know that CAN'T be right. There is no way I'm less than my dates, because I got a positive HPT at 10DPO. Which was 24th Feb. If I am only 5 weeks now, either this baby is not growing, or the test lied. I couldn't have got a positive HPT at 4DPO, which would have put me at 2+4!!

I feel quite angry as now I'm worried to the max, and have a 2 week wait to find out what the hell is going on.

To others - this is why early scans are shit.

Aw detective what a worry! Are you going for another scan in 2 weeks then? Keeping my fingers crossed for you too :)

Yes. But I don't want to incase it makes me worry more. On the other hand - waiting 2 weeks? ARGHHHHHH :(

Is the due date also calculated from
Implantation or fertilisation? Surely it grows more once implanted. That can vary in the time it takes. Hopefully all ok for both of you. Were home now hopefully settled for a while. Chips for tea :( not good!

Sorry that made little sense I meant could the size be affected by implantation times? If it took 14 days to implant rather than 7 that would affect the size? Purely from a science thought, I have no real understanding of this!! I'm physics not biology!

Oh no PR and The Detective. I hope you're hanging in there. I know how difficult the 2ww is. Here's hoping for the news you want at the end of it.

To everyone in hospital - hope you get your good news too.

To all the new joiners - hello and congratulations!

Off to bed soon, but first I am having tea and bracing myself to take my bra off. Ouch.

Detective looks like we are in the same boat.fingers crossed.

Sorry PR I have only just seen your post. I was too busy wallowing in self pity clearly!

Yes, looks like we have the same horrible wait - I just can't get my head around it all. I'm sulking. At myself mostly. Should have just ignored the pain.

I can't see me being able to wait 2 weeks. I might ring the EPAU where I am booked and ask them to see me in a week, or to do bloods.

I dunno. Meh.

Lets keep our fingers crossed for more positive results eh?!

Definitely fingers and toes crossed for you Petite and Detective.

Definately fingers crossed xx

Blimey, lots been happening. Good luck to Petite and Detective - got everything crossed for you.

Hello and congratulations to all the newbies.

Not much to report from here. Felt slightly sick this morning and this evening; boobs still slightly sore; VERY tired. And that's about all folks!! Appetite seems to be decreasing a bit which is a good thing, as not wanting to eat the whole fridge now (just three quarters of it!!). Think it might be linked to the nausea.

Am feeling very optimistic today (may have to eat my words in a few weeks). Was quite negative with the last pg and ended up mc - therefore I am trying PMA (positive mental attitude) this time around. Why worry, when I can't change the outcome?

Hope everyone has better days tomorrow.

Nighty, night.

Sorry to hear about the worries, Petite and Detective. Sending all good wishes your way for good news soon.

I have my fingers crossed for Petite and Detective.

Blonderthanred - you asked up thread about blinds, I would say get black out blinds as a nice dark room during the day might help day time naps etc, but also be aware of blind cords and that they can be dangerous blind cord saftey something like the thingy in the picture is sensible in my opinion :)

Someone (OMGBFP I think) asked why I can't get signed in with a midwife until 14 weeks, I think that is standard over here (Australia, Sydney).

I just spent ages catching up with everyones news, it's a nice place for us all to share. I seem to have symptoms that come and go, so maybe some of it is mental. But I feel shattered today so I will take it easy. I have been so argumentative with DH, I just cannot help it.

I have a couple of names going around in my head and I will try and keep them to myself as I think it is a nice surprise to keep the name a secret until the baby is born, but I donot know if I will be able to keep them in!!

I have been getting hot a sweaty at night, like some others, but I wasn't sure if it's just because it's quite warm here at the moment!?
