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!

Def needing to wee more often, twice in the night last night. Woke up feeling a bit sick and dizzy too.
Bit better now I have tea and biscuits!

One of my best friends is coming over today, she knew I was ttc so can't wait to tell her the good news. On fri though I'm seeing a friend who has been ttc since last may so I don't think I'll tell her unless she asks. Everyone is getting pregnant around her too she's getting really peed off with it all!

Detective will be crossing it all for you (and PR too)

Feel bright as a button today :) OH and I were discussing names last night properly for the first time, sat with babynames.co.uk and going through them, got a bit of a list now :)

bracing myself to take my bra off. Ouch.

^ yy to this!!!!

I had to wee 3 TIMES in the night, as someone who never stirs for anything, this is absurd! The baby is still the size of an orange seed according to WTEWE app, how does this even work?!

Fingers crossed for the ladies waiting for scans and things.

I am feeling fine today, symptom free so far, I have a really long college day ahead of me, in the salon pampering other people, from now until 5.30 this evening! I am going to be shattered. Mostly pedicures though so I shall at least be sitting.

The tiredness is awful, poor DP I have been fast asleep and snoring like a beast (something else that I don't usually do) at 9pm, usually I can stay awake easily until midnight for fun and frolics with him , he doesn't mind of course but I wake up thinking, I wasted an evening!

I'm still waiting for my tiredness to kick in as I am an insomniac, do you think that means I won't "suffer" delight in it?

Hello, can I join?

Got a faint bfp ridiculously early last thurs and it's been getting stronger over the weekend. Think my due date will be 22 November.

This'll be by second, I already have a just turned 2yo dd. Scary!

Starting to feel tired already. And my stomach is huge. I'm sure it's just bloating but at this rate I'm going to look 6 months gone by the end of the first trimester!

I've been reading the thread - fingers crossed for Petite and Detective. Early scans can be so nerve wracking.

Thank you, Pasties. Congrats, FruitSalad.

Mmm, pasties and fruit salad.

Oh goodness PR and Detective, I feel your pain. I had a mega, early scan last week and the doctor at first couldn't see anything at all, then he spotted this tiny weeny spot which he said could be the sac but he wasn't sure. He told if I was to go this week he would be able to see the sac but if I could wait til next week he should be able to see heartbeat too by then. So I am waiting and I am pulling my hair out constantly. Desperate for nausea or something to set in... I definitely feel more tired, but that might just be because I'm wearing myself out with nerves. Have sore boobs too but my belly seemed to be swelling up before and now it's flat again and boobs are less sore than they were a week ago.

I had a MMC at 17 weeks (not picked up on til 22 weeks) 3 years ago and DH and I started TTC with this little nugget 8 months ago.

MC is such an awful thing, it spoils pregnancies after. Instead of allowing myself to be excited I just keeep trying to prepare myself for the worst. I really want to keep positive so that PMA will reflect on the baby and it will grow to be strong and healthy but the pain we went through before is putting a barrier in the way.

I wish i had just gone in this week, and next week and every week for the next 40 to make sure everything is moving along well.

PR I am in France too, at least you know that there are no health care cuts or anything that will affect your treatment.

My best friend, SIL and another close friend are all PG too at the moment, all PG from thier first try. It seems like cooking babies is so easy and fun for some people, for me it's nervewracking. :(

Only one week to go before I know things are off to a good start at least. Bring on some MS please!!!

oh I hope all is well for you PR, detective and Jen. I cannot imagine how worried you must be.

I am really off my food at the moment, no real nausea or anything just don't want to eat. I just went to co-op and bought anything that I fancied the look of - seems chips and roast potatoes and crisps are taking my fancy?! not a craving though as such seeing as i don't want to eat anything really. I had a real craving for meat with DS and massive hunger all the time but most definitely do not this time (YET!). Cramping has calmed down, dreams are totally crackers and I had the deepest sleep ever last night and feel sooooo much better for it. Boobs are giving me jip today which surprises me cause I only stopped BF DS about 3 months ago, thought they would just readjust quite happily!

I have discovered I have mice. I am gutted, worried and utterly, utterly disgusted. Must ring landlord - I hope I don't have to fix it myself because I know kind methods are ineffective and the death method is too much for my pregnant state!

Hope you are all ok, seems a lot of trauma for our thread so far.

dh21 I have a similarly awkward situation with a friend who had an ectopic pregnancy in August. She knows we were ttc too but now I'm going to feel really selfish and smug being able tell her I'm pg with dc2 when she's struggling to conceive dc1...how do I tell her in the kindest way? Luckily I don't see her too often as she lives in a different city but I'm still dreading it.

Oh and Janey sorry you have mice but I would like to raise you...I have worms Got them from sodding dd!

Hello can I play too? I'm 32, got a BFP on Saturday with due date from period dates estimated as 10th November. :o Not sure when I ovulated as my cycle was messed up this month. So the little un is due 2 days after my birthday. It's our first child and we're chuffed to bits. However am definitely in the nervous camp as we had a chemical pregnancy and early MC last cycle (our first cycle of trying) hence the messed up cycle, so have booked an appointment with the docs tomorrow. Am hoping we might be able to get an early scan, however we live on a remote Scottish island (Orkney) so facilities up here aren't great (no sexing scan, not sure they can even give an epidural (!!!) and any problems and you get airlifted south to Aberdeen during labour eeeek) - and if getting an early scan means taking a flight to Aberdeen I think I'll give it a miss. Anyone else dealing with issues of being remote from decent medical facilities?

Symptoms so far are sore boobs, burping like a trucker, eating like a rugby squad and sleeping constantly. Was worried as have had cramps, but it seems like that's nothing to worry about. Have told DH's sister and best friend, but I've not had the nerves to tell any of my lot yet.... am going to tell my sister tomorrow after the Docs but daren't tell my Dad as he's rubbish at keeping secrets and I don't want it all over Facebook. Have only done one test (well one positive, on Saturday, before that I kept getting negatives but was sure something was going on) and am itching to do more but we're quite remote so am managing to resist the urge to head to Boots and buy more tests.

Oh and I too am quitting smoking, had quit before MC then started again with a vengeance as was feeling so shitty - am on patches for a couple of days and hopefully will get something more suitable to help from the Docs - don't want to dose the wee one with nicotine but know patches are better than ciggies. DH has been persuaded been given no choice but to quit too bless him. Anyone else missing a glass of wine on an evening?

Oh also we're meant to be going on a long haul holiday (very late honeymoon) at what seems to be exactly my 12 week scan dates - will they scan early or late? Am worrying about health implications of a 10 hour flight, but god, living where we do, I am craving the sunshine and really really don't want to cancel - is that selfish? I figure we won't be going to the Caribbean any time soon after the wee one arrives...

My sympathy also goes to the girls with the very early scans that are now waiting and suffering. Fingers crossed and try to distract as much as you can.

Thanks for the 2 comments on stretch-marks. I started rubbing the one I bought and I enjoy it - I will be doing it now every day and start 2 times a day when the belly starts growing. I think it should help and certainly does not do harm if we use some creams. I got scared about boobs scars as well as I hear some people get them. I think I just like creams and massaging them into the skin:) If I still get scars, at least I will know I tried. But if I get scars and didn't try to prevent them I will always feel annoyed.

How to tell our friends who are TTC that we got pregnant? Very very good question. I have no idea how to do it gently..... A good friend of mine is TTC for 2 years and is getting married in June. I now think of not going to the wedding (it is in another country) mostly because I don't want to have my growing belly rubbed in her nose on her wedding day! I am sure she will feel very bad and I just think is the right thing not telling her for now.

Would love to hear your thoughts and any experiences from similar situations.

They don't do epidurals at my hospital's maternity department either, not sure if that means that they don't therefore do c sections too? In which case I'll probably bump into you at ARI YellowWellies!! if you want I can always send you some cheapies in the post, £1 for 3 in my semichem. i might have taken 9 tests so far

DH21 hows it going today with the cigarettes? As to breaking news to your friend, no easy way to do it. i've been on the other end many many times over the years and while i was sad and it made me feel my infertility I was also happy for friends for their news :)

Have added myself as well.

ellesabe I think if my friend asks I'll tell her but if not I'll just put the 12 week scan pic on fb and she'll see it there but would rather tell her because she might think I'm deliberately not telling her in case it upsets her, such a tricky situation!

yellowwellies keep it up with no smoking, I'm on day 5 now I went cold turkey. It's still hard but I'm getting there, I'd rather have a healthy baby than a few fags!

Sorry omgbfp x post! As I said its still tough going but its come at a good time because we're so skint til sat so am saving lots of money!

YellowWellies they don't have to scan bang on 12 weeks. There is a window of weeks 11 to 13 that they can do the nuchal (Downs syndrome) scan and if you don't want that test there is more flexibility (anywhere from weeks 10 to 16 I think).

Long haul flights won't do any damage so long as you keep your circulation going to avoid DVT.

My 12 week scan would be during the week DH is in the US, and immediately follows a long weekend in Europe. Unless I get a scan appointment for the Monday, I will be rearranging it to be the week after (as I need DH with me for this - have had a missed miscarriage previously).

DH21 and others, as a long-term ttc-er, I'd much rather hear the news from a good friend in person and sensitively than just seeing a scan picture on fb. If you acknowledge their feelings I'm sure they will find it easier and they will of course be delighted for you as well as having their own personal response.

We were TTC for 8 months after waiting two years for it to be "the right time" after MMC. I found it really tough as my friends seemed to get PG at flick of a switch and it all holds such sad memories for me. However I think that it's a crap friend who's not outwardly happy for her mates when they get PG. I'd tell your friend in person, or over the phone DH21 not via FB. I hated seeing baby scans on FB when TTC - it seemed EVERYONE was pregnant. Of course you don't know all those peoples TTC stories either I guess. Tell her yourself whilst offering lots of encouragement and support to her. You can't stop moving on with your life just for your friend. Let her know you understand her feelings and it's OK for her to be a bit miffed. And if she's a real friend she'll be happy for you.

And well done for the ciggies so far!

Yellow Wellies - I am definitely missing a glass of wine! Especially now as DH is having a whole bottle a night to himself now he doesn't have to share with me! :(

Anyway, just figure it's worth it at the end of the day :)

I was a long term TTCer at +5yrs Would rather hear it from you personally or by call/text than see it on FB.

Hi everyone, welcome to all the ladies who have got their BFP in the last few days! Can't believe this thread is up to 22 pages now!

Had my follow up scan yesterday after the very early one last week due to pain. I was 6 +4 yesterday. Saw the little embryo and the heartbeat

PR, TheDetective and jen I am hoping this happens for you too. Fingers crossed for you all.

yellowwellies I've just flown to USA and back and had no problems so I'm sure you will be fine flying, and have a lovely holiday in the sun! Not at all jealous

Morning sickness has kicked in here except it's all-day sickness. Nice. And I've gone off pizza, which is my favourite Friday night treat tea! Eww, I could be sick just thinking about eating it.

Hi all, finally decided to migrate from the 2ww thread. Still very apprehensive as it seems I have no problem becoming pregnant, it's the keeping it that's not so great :(

This will be DC4 and I'm due on the 15th by my calculations. My hope and the fact that I've been able to join this thread is based on that I have some symptoms, my body seems to let me know when I'm pregnant as the times it hasn't stuck I haven't had any.

PR, Detective and Jen I have everything crossed for you all.

Well done to those giving up the ciggies and alcohol.

Just logged on to add myself to the stats but just want to wish those that are awaiting early scans all the best. Really hoping the next scan will give you all reassurance that everything is ok.

littlelolly glad to hear your scan has gone well and you got to hear the heartbeat. How wonderful.

Welcome and congratulations to those who have had their BFP's since I last logged on.

wow yellow am sooo envious. I can't wait for a holiday!

lolly how fabulous for you! heartbeat yay! I have to say I don't think I will take this pregnancy very seriously until I have a scan. Am so terrified that it is all made up or something happened without me knowing.

and welcome all, hope all sticks for everyone as it should. Is great seeing peeps come over from the 2ww thread, I posted there many times in my imagination and still lurk away, so feel like i 'know' you all!

My brain is working today; it is just so wonderful to be able to work at my thesis like a normal person ;) In fact, apart from sore boobs and an aversion to eating most things I feel pretty normal today. My working day ends at 3.30 when I go and get DS from the childminders. Can't wait to hear his inane chatter and have a cuddle.

Ah, TTC friends. I am being very low key on FB this time around - first time I was one of the earliest to pop out of friends and was quite annoying and shouty about it, but this time I know some of my friends are really broody but can't have kids yet, or are TTCing, or are having huge fertility problems so I will just shut up apart from a small announcement after the scan and telling close frineds face-to-face before that. One of my dear dear friends is facing infertility due to a recently found rabid cancer and I have to tell her before I have a bump but am not looking forward to it. I know she will be happy for me but still, it feels shitty.

anywho, better get editing!
