Due in March 2013

[Leftwingharpie]

Post your stats here and join me if you're due in March 2013.

Hi all, like maclairey I'm due on the 17th March. Got my BfP about 10 days ago. 5 weeks tmrw. This will be our second child, DD is 2.5 years old. I'm an old bird in the eyes of the medical profession, 40 years old. Had DD at 36, and it's taken till now to conceive again. Have had 3 chem pregnancies so just hoping this one sticks.

Was terribly sick with DD so hoping I'm not in for the same again, just sore boobage and spacey feelings for now. Anyway hello everyone!

Hello Maclairy and knickyknocks, congrats on your bfps!

Oh and juniper welcome too!

Thecountess Peppa Pig world is in Hampshire at Paulton's Park. It's very very fab if you can ever get down there! I am totally exhausted today though. Currently chilling out while DD is at soft play (with her Dad of course).

tiddleypompom : I'm praying he/she is still there and getting stronger every second, I want to stay positive but the lack of support from bf makes me very upset. Yes he came today but he moned the whole time that he hated hospitals and he was getting stressed out with my bloods etc. Then dropped me of home and we've called it a day between us for good. He has shouted screamed abuse and not shown me any affection not even a hug in the hospital, so good riddens!

mmmmsleep : Your right they cant scan at this point as they wouldn't see anything. I've trying to stay calm I really am but my bf has already made me break down today and seems to have forgotten that no matter what he may feel about the baby it's me that is potentially going to mc or have a ectopic pregnancy.

I wish I wasn't hurting him by choosing to have the baby but I can't simply abort it, not now I really am fighting to keep it.
It seems along way off monday but I pray, I really wish and hope that things have doubled this time

Hi Everyone! Just a final message to say that unfortunately I will be dropping off the thread as I have had a confirmed miscarriage at 7 weeks. Took me a few days to let it all sink in, and now I'm feeling quite accepting of it, and ready to let my body heal, and then try again! DH and I are still young and DD is only 1 so we know that we are not under any time pressure. Am so sorry to leave you all, but am thrilled for all of your BFPs and I wish you the absolute best of luck in your pregnancies! Will be thinking of you all next March!
Finally, could someone please remove my name from the stats list when you get a chance (don't think I can bring myself to do it!)
Thanks for all the support!!

Jessi it's done love. I'm so sorry. Take care of yourself x

Jessi We're all thinking of you. Good luck for the future.
Motherofone Thinking of you too, there isn't any more I can say or do, but thinking and hoping for you.

I've been absolutly exhausted today. Had a pub lunch as I couldn't muster up any energy to cook (and DH doesn't really do cooking, lots of other things, but not cooking) then DS had a mamouth nap and I had one too! Still exhausted though.

And so bloated I've snook my maternity jeans on . Sickness is begining, though nothing significant yet, and I swear DS has doubled in weight as I suddenly just don't seem to have the strength to lift him!

Hope people are having a restful weekend!

Oh Jessi I am very sorry to hear that. I am only happy to hear that you are well supported & that you have the solace of your dd and the protect of trying again when you are ready. Much love to you and your husband - and I hope to hear of your new bfp one day in the next year - you will let us know I hope. Take care of yourself and thank you for your good wishes x

mother you too must look after yourself & I hope that you have a friend nearby to give you the support you need. Your ex sounds like he doesn't deserve you & I am appauled that he has been so cruel. Concentrate on you & the bean for now - and your dd of course x

boots we're having a takeaway - am utterly shattered despite lie in till 8am and mini nap on the sofa

Had to send DS off with his dad for nappy changes - its turning my stomach!

Oops, me again to say congratulations & welcome to knicky & maclairy!

Hairy Maclairy from Donaldsons Dairy? My absolute favourite of ds's books :o

motherofone sorry you don't yet know anything conclusive. absolutely understandable that you'd like not to be at work at the moment - there is so much going on for you. would it be possible to take some sick leave, because of the stress and worry, as well as everything else?

jessi0343 so, so sorry to hear about the MC. I really admire your positivity and can't help but feel it will happen for you again and soon. take care.

You'll be in your new house before you know it, tiddley. Just hang on in there :-) Sounds like days, rather than weeks, which is a good place to be though I know how frustrating it must be.

leftwing, yep my tum is prob from the enormous evening meals I'm shovelling down! not particularly hungry at other times so at least I'm only overindulging once a day apart from the three doughnuts in a row I scoffed earlier very happy for you and the moving in date! we moved into our own place (first time for both of us) 18 months ago and it is so amazing finally to have a proper home. feel very lucky.

pipsicles and woody how lovely you both got to see your little heartbeats! yay! like you, Maclairey, my DH not interested in forking out ££ on a private scan, which I'd love to put my mind at rest about the dating but I should just be thankful I've not had any spotting etc to cause any real anxiety.

woody, I'd love to do a pregnancy yoga class - maybe a bit later on as I'm a bit crap at making regular classes. For now, I've got two pre-natal yoga DVDs and one on pre-natal pilates winging their way to me via Amazon. I also invested on the Pregnancy Bible which a friend recommended.

knickyknocks, I too am an old bird at 37 (DC1). What does this mean in terms of the extra tests (or whatever) we get at hosp?

So, I was reading up on cervix changes during pregnancy last night as I had a little explore (sorry if TMI!) and mine feels different. So does my v., as well. Feels like there are new muscles, or something, either side! Weird, but this could explain the constant cramping. Anyone on here in tune with the pg changes of their innards?!

Jessi I'm so sorry to read your news. You sound incredibly strong, but I'm glad you have the love and support of your hubby. You're right, your time will come again when you have another successful pregnancy. I'm just so sorry this time was not meant to be.
motherofone you sound like you're having a very tough time too. I hope the scan gives you positive news. Agree with tiddley when she says you deserve better than your eejit boyfriend. You need support right now, and those who don't show it should be quite rightly shown the door.
tiddley have to say, with my keen sense of smell, am very glad DD is no longer in nappies! Nappy changing must be unbearably eurgh at the moment! At least I only have to help DD to wipe herself (and that is bad enough....)

X posts mandasand..... I didn't really get any special treatment last time even though I was 36. I remember being very worried about the additional risk of abnormalities due to my age, but the combined blood test and measurements done at the 12 week mark gave me the best odds of everything being fine, so an amnio wasn't recommended. Just to also say, that I did NCT ante natal classes and the majority of the couples there were all 35 plus. Didn't make me feel as if I was going to be the oldest person on the maternity ward (which I wasn't....). I just don't think first time mums over 35 are unusual anymore.

Constant cramping is usual - though I remember it being far worse last time for me. Just had really strong sharp cramp sensations. Definitely think it's just the cervix loosening up for it's task ahead!

Thanks knickyknocks - that's good to know. I know what you mean about abnormalities ... fingers crossed for us all on that front. When I told my doc I was TTC a couple of months ago she said they'd be sending me to the geriatric mothers clinic as soon as I got pg. But I saw another doc re BFP and he just said see the midwife, and I've got an appt with her on Thursday this coming week. I expect I'll hear more then. Think we'll do NCT antenatal classes too, mainly to meet others locally at the same-ish stage.

PS Anyone getting waves of emotion? Twice yesterday I broke into ridiculous sobbing over nothing! The first time I think it was because I remembered it was Friday and couldn't have a cheeky cider ... cue tears streaming down my face ON THE BUS!!! The second time DH and I were rolling around laughing over something or other and, without a pause, I segued into huge sobbing! And I'm increasingly getting a lump in my throat at anything vaguely sad on the news ... I hope this is only a passing phase!

Hello! Can I sneak in? I think I am due around the 13th of March although I only got a bfp a couple of days ago I think I'm about five weeks. Did anyone else get a late bfp I'm worried that its a bad sign?

Feeling OK so far sore bbs come and go and I've been craving cold chicken, which according to Google I can't have so have been eating quorn chicken instead its just not the same though!

Hi!

Broke my promise about posting on my relaxing day off, no real signal where we were.

jessi just wanted to say am so so sorry to hear your news. Really hope you get some time to process and can go easy on yourself. Just know what it is like from Feb, and it was so rubbish, but you do just have to hang onto hope for the future. Also made me cling on to my one year old dd and everytime i've looked at her since have just been struck even more at what a cheeky little miracle she is. Bless you and hope to see you back on AN boards really soon x

Hi wantayeti welcome and Congrats!

So I still feel really lame on this thread, some of you are incredible at posting and I manage to read a lot!

Dh and I went to friends wedding where was worried about a) looking pregnant and b) not drinking and being obvious. Did wear a new dress I'm the end, but bump is so prominent that actually told a couple of people, and then dh told the rest! We belonged to quite a tight group at uni, thirteen of us lived in one house (was pretty crazy) with a couple of extras. It was actually really nice to share with them in the end and as none of them live near us are unlikely to spread the news further to say work, or people that I'd see day to day. 'bump' really is just that, I can't believe it so am thinking seriously of going.for early scan now, so with reassurance of a heartbeat will be braced for people realising in about a week from now. I'm 6 weeks on Monday! I didn't think this happened. Anyway I got round to telling the groom - one of the uni friends and it turned out that the bride is 9 weeks pregnant herself! She did amazingly! Partied till 12 then snuck off to bed, I wouldn't have guessed at all.
So back home now after lovely wedding and a stay in the venue hotel. Dd stayed with my mum and sis. Seriously chilled. Am stuck-to-the-sofa shattered now though as sturdy up to half one chatting and amusedly watching which of our other friends slunk off to bed with who!

About to eat sainsburys microwave curry and watch film with dh. Then loooong sleep for me I think!

Hi
Can I join, have been on mumsnet a few years but not so much in the last year, (and this is a new namechange as SIL has joined in the past year), but I got a BFP last night and because it was quite faint went out and bouht another test this morning with another BFP, YEY,
So I'm 4/5weeks with an EDD of 21st March with dc no 4, still in abit of shock, have abit of back ache but have been overdoing it the past few days, we've decided to keep it our secret for a while, so naturally I came on to mumsnet to tell someone!

Jessie thinking of you, hope you have some time out to take care of yourself and lots of support form OH & those around you. X x x

Oh and mandasand me too with the crying, found an injured fledgling yesterday & burst into massive wracking sobs when DH said it was a waste of time to take it to the vet! Poor man doesn't know what is going on!

Hi all, can I join this thread too? Got my BFP yesterday, CB digital reckons I'm 4-5 weeks pregnant so guess I'm due around the same time as GummiberryJuice. Not feeling any symptoms at all as yet - when should I expect those to start kicking in???

Hi Nutbiscuit congrats, don't panic with my first I had nothing except if I was laughing I would start crying until I was 8 weeks then threw up every morning with out warning
at the min I'm having some period like cramps and I'm trying to tell myself its all good, need people to remind me though

That's good to hear Gummi (apart from the throwing up every morning part . I'm sure everything's ok with you, try not to worry

Jessi I'm so sorry to read your news. Hugs to you!

motherofone Stay strong, we are all thinking of you.

My EDD is not on the list :( I'm 14th March.

My pg symptoms so far - really really sore boobs, especially at night. Treated myself to M&S non underwired bras and a sleep top with built in bra. I didn't think my boobs could get any bigger but they have gone up a size already! More painful at night so giving the top a try this eve. I have allergies normally too and coz im pg can't take my antihistamine, so much conflicting info, so I'm going with the lastest advice from my doctor not to take anything at all! Except pregnacare!

Still not sleeping properly, it's like Christmas every day lol!

Hope you're all having a good weekend x

Hi Sunnymeadows,
funny I've been waking early too, and come to think of it going to the loo more too, I have allergies too and can't remember what I can take either so will stay away until baby is bigger, I need to go to docs as I was also on a tablet for a sore shoulder and when I come off it my shoulder flares up but not supposed to take when pg so stopped it earlier in the week just incase I was.
