Hi all. I've just come across this and thought I'd brave myself and get myself added. I'm not under my usual name as I'm known to quite a few people in RL and can't risk certain people knowing yet.
I got my BFP just under 2 weeks ago. This was a massive shock as we have 2 DSs (9 and 4) and had decided for many reasons that our family was complete (dh is 51 and was due to have the snip!). Anyway, after the initial upset, anger, panic etc. my dh calmed me down and I've talked myself into this being a wanted pregnancy. Now I'm like many others, worried about something going wrong (had a mc 10 years ago and as I feel like I'm getting wet down there all the time, keep worrying about bleeding (sorry TMI) but I keep reminding myself this was exactly the same with the boys so all normal). Not been feeling as sick as I did with the boys but very tired, sore boobs and crying at silly things (bloomin hormones, was crying at the ending to BIG not that long ago!!!
).
Anyway, I've got my scan booked for 9th November as my midwife has put me down as EDD 24th May, even though I think it's 17th June (I didn't write a period down after 17th August but I'm pretty sure I did have one after, just that because I couldn't say 100%, she wants me to get checked based on the further gone dates).
So if I'm right about 17th June, this baby is due on my dad's birthday and 2 days before ds2s birthday (plus 10 days before dh and his twin brothers birthdays!).
Right, that's it really, just wanted to mark my place and say hello. I'll probably not do too much actual posting but will lurk lots (I'm just paranoid about switching my name too many times and then outing myself!
)
