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!

My lil fraggle isn't even born yet and is already keeping me awake all night. Oh dear oh dear. Better get used to it then.

Hello to everyone who has recently had their BFP!

Well, yesterday I ended up at EPAU. I was at work and getting lots of sharp pains... Put it down to having a really busy shift and rushing round but it kept happening. Im a nurse so asked one of the Drs who sent me to EPAU. Luckily I was in uniform so they saw me straight away (perk of the job!) did my hcg level and a scan... The little sac was there in the right place! The Consultant said I was being a typical anxious first timer and everything was fine. They have said i can come in for another scan in 2 weeks when I will be able to see a bit more. My hcg level came back within normal range. So I'm very relieved, and using it as an excuse to spend the day 'resting' :o

my goodness I appear to be pregnant bit of a surprise thought we were past it! am 38 in a few weeks (not that old I guess!) . Have one lovely dd (4) Congrats to everyone else.

still in shock

Hello, can I join?
I'm six weeks and due in nov. it's my first child so I'm a nervous wreak. It is a unplanned pregnancy, so a huge shock!

I'm so nervous about her (got a feeling) being ok and gettin the nutrients that she needs. Im HCA that deals with cancer patients, so I had to tell my work colleagues. They have done a risk assessment, so I'm happier to say to the lazier ones, sorry cant do that! ( by the way it feels great)

Ew

Hi,

Please add me to the group :)
DC2 edd 6th Nov, dd is 11 months. second month of trying so it felt like a surprise! Concieved on Valentines :)
x

Littlelolly - what a relief, you must be reassured!

Timing wise it seems quite a few of us conceived on Valentines day! How romantic!

Anyone feeling nauseous yet? Am a little, but only before bed - is that normal?!

Am also researching early scans - will definitely do one, so hopefully a little heartbeat will be seen in a few weeks!

I forgot to put that I'm 31. I live far away from my family but we're visiting them all in a months time to show off dd. She will be meeting most of the family for the first time and for some reason I feel a bit nervous about telling them all we're expecting number 2! Anyway fingers crossed this little bean sticks around. Good luck to us all, and some of the symptoms already showing for some of you is pretty exciting! Lets pray that the sickness stays away for us all :)

another valentines baby here so edd 6th Nov

ugh I am feeling really sick today just had my little girls first eisteddford at school as we live in wales. had a massive coughing fit it was so hot in there and thought I was actually going to throw up - Dydd Gŵyl Dewi hapus! happy st.davids day.

cherryjam - yes I feel very reassured and fingers crossed next scan goes well too. If I wasn't having one at hospital I would definitely have paid for an early one at 8 or 9 weeks! I only feel nauseous at night too, but on the plus side that's when I usually eat bad food in front of the tv so at least it's put a stop to that!

Another valentines conception here too lol!

I've had lots of tears today - thanks to my mother. Plucked up the courage to tell her.

She was angry/mad at me. Horrible to DP.

Why can't my mother just be a normal person and be happy for me or anyone else who is pregnant?

Have a headache and sore eyes now.

On the plus side, me and DP made a trip to Mothercare world as he wanted some books on pregnancy etc - apparently he doesn't want to have to ask me everything! We accidently ended up with some little white vests, a soft touch baby grow, and matching hats, mittens and these little booties.... and a blanket. Ooooops! Oh, and a baby book.

By the way, is Mothercare reducing their products? 10 years ago when I had DS, the Mothercare world we went to today was huge, and on two floors. They have now moved in to a much smaller store close by. Also their ranges have dramatically reduced. Was very disappointed :( Was really looking forward to having a large range to chose from!

No other symptoms yet, thank god... please let the hyperemesis stay away this time.

Oh and my mum was even more horrified when we told her the pregnancy was planned. FFS.

thedetective....so sorry to read of your mum's reaction . That's awful. I haven't read whole thread , so I might have missed something- why is her reaction so negative?
My MIL is very much the negative one in our family- making it all about how my DH will have 'something else' to keep him from visiting her more often!!
It's not completely sunk in for me yet!

TheDetective that is such a shame about your mums reaction. Hopefully she will warm to the idea. My mum was delighted when I was pregnant with DD1, happy but worried with DD2 (first birth was not nice, so I had an elective section the second time) She will go bonkers when I tell her about this one - it was not planned, but very much wanted. She will be convinced it will be disabled as I am so old - it is still our baby regardless.

We have sold/given away the baby stuff too.

I really dislike Mothercare - very overpriced IMO.

Also, your Mum will be remembering what it was like for you to have a baby at 16 - she will possibly see you as the 16 year old child you were, not the mature, experienced mum you now are. I have a friend who had her first at 15, and has just had her 4th at 26, and her mum still doubts her ability, as does my friend.

Hello to the newbies, and thedetective so sorry about your mum.

Have been feeling very sorry for myself - was told after an early scan on weds that it was def an ectopic pg and had emergency surgery to remove it and they found... Nothing but healthiness. They have said that now they've had a look the pg should be normal and hormones are doing good things. I have another scan on Monday to check. In the meantime I'm very sore and my mum has come down to look after me for a couple of days.

And there was me thinking pregnancy was supposed to be an enjoyable thing!

Hello ladies! I'd like to join too please! I just got my BFP is morning and my EDD is 7th November. Mine is a little Valentine's (and 3rd wedding anniversary!) baby too! Has anyone else panicked yet that the hospitals might be a little bit busy early November?! Detective can you alleviate my fears at all?! (btw, your early post made me cry - bloody hormones - and I feel very sad that your mother is currently so unsupportive :( I hope she comes around very soon).

GTBaby I'm a secondary teacher too and found last time around that it was easiest to let my department know sooner rather than later and by the time my m/s kicked in around 8 weeks, they were great at covering for me when I had to run to the bathroom, saying another teacher needed to speak to me, or that I was in a meeting if I couldn't make it to form!

I'm a little anxious about telling them this time though because DS is only 12.5 months and I've only been back at work 3months!!! However, I think they may have their suspicions already (alright, perhaps I didn't deny their questions enough!) as I have been sick twice this week (already - I know!!!) I've been trying to blame it on a stomach bug, but I think my chirpiness by the end of the day, after feeling so rough at the beginning is a bit of a give-away!

I'm SO glad I could come and join you on this thread Wifey! How are you feeling? Has it sunk in yet?

tomatoplantproject - so is everything ok? is everything going to go ahead normally? wow! surgery, you're very brave :)

Well, to my utter surprise, my mother has done a 360 degree turn... she phoned me to apologise, and said 'you know that is how I react to anyone who is pregnant, don't take it personally - too many people bring children in the word without thinking about the concequences, and I worry that you haven't thought this through' I explained that yes, I had thought it through, for 10 flippin' years I have waited for the right time, and that is now. It is never the perfect moment to have a child and if I waited for 'perfect' I'd probably never have any more. And I'd rather regret the things I have done than the things I haven't.

She then text me to say she was going to start knitting, and what colour did we want.

My mother is strange. But I think she might actually get her head around things soon enough. Fingers crossed.

I had intended to wait to tell her, even thought about not telling her and just getting bigger and bigger, but to keep denying it but I decided that I should tell her soon as possible because I'd just keep stressing about it, and she might guess anyway if (more likely when) I end up with hyperemesis like last time. She is the head teacher at my DS's school, so I see her every day!

Things feel so different this time around - I remember with DS how we had to get a house, and everything for a house, as well as everything he would need. This time we have everything already. We are both established in life, we have a bedroom for the baby, all we need is baby items! I'm hoping I get to thoroughly enjoy this pregnancy! I felt like a leper with DS lol! I feel so chillled about the future!

Just DPs mum to tell - not sure how she will react, DP thinks badly, I don't think she will be so bad.

The rest of the family, including my Dad aren't being told til later, and I know they will all be fine - my Dad will probably moan, but he is in Switzerland, so his opinion doesn't count. He retires this year. Maybe I will suggest he does some babysitting

How is everyone else today?

tomatoplantproject Good news! Glad to hear your pregnancy seems to be progressing normally! Get some rest, and feel better soon!

pipsicles November tends to be like most other months - busy!! It is always up and down with numbers on the wards etc - I tend to find we get 3 days of acceptable numbers, followed by 5/6 days of manic fullness! Its always the same! Quiet followed by the storm. Don't let yourself worry about it though!

I'm planning a home birth, so I'm definitely not worrying!

That's great news thedetective about your mum. You sound so excited about it all and have everything worked out already!

I'm taking it really easy at the moment. I am lady muck ordering my slaves around . Monday we should find out at the scan all is ok and it's been such a rollercoaster we daren't get our hopes too high until we know the bean is growing in the right place.

Thats great news detective

I can't help but feel anxious as I don't have too many symptoms and read up on the stats of early losses.

God willing, we will all be ok though.

Glad to hear that tomatoplantproject It does sound positive for you, so just enjoy the rest!

Onamission If it helps, I haven't got any real symptoms other than some tiredness - but that could be normal anyway, and hunger, which again - I'm a hungry person, could be just normal too!

I had these same things with DS. Then the MS kicked in at exactly 6 weeks and I definately knew about it then!

Its early days, try not to worry. I'm not worried about lack of symptoms - currently I am very grateful!

Am really happy for you thedetective! The last thing you need is stress so pleased that your mum apologised.

Been doing more tests - today was darker than the control line! Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone here

Not many symptoms just huge boobs (normal ones are smallish lol) hubby very happy had some lower cramps but no blood. Guessing everything just moving! Have been feeling a bit sick today but alright once I get or exercise. Other than that I'm good!! Walking biking and horse riding as normal!! Just don't feel like running but think thats the boobs more than anything. Also not been circuit training but think ill stop that now anyway x

Onamission stay away from those statistics. Truly - they will send you crazy :)

Evening ladies. Can anyone give me some advice? I've been cramping on and off pretty much since I conceived and did begin to wonder if AF was going to show yesterday, but then got BFP this am. I did remember a couple of friends saying that they kept feeling their their AF was about to come for weeks, but I didn't have this last time around. On top of this though, I have had a small amount of spotting this evening. Last time, I had implantation spotting, but if I've had a BFP, then this couldn't be that could it? I've had a look on the Internet (never good!!!) and read that I could be having breakthrough bleeding - like a mini period - or any number of infections etc that may cause bleeding. I'm hoping it is just a breakthrough bleed and am going to keep an eye on it, but the website I was looking at also said I should tell my midwife/dr, but they don't even know I'm pg yet and the earliest I could really get an appointment would be Wednesday, or that I sold be going to the EPAU. Should I be rushing down tomorrow or not? I really don't know!

Anyone had anything similar?
