Sept 2013?

[legoboat]

Hello - bit early, but I definitely had two positives this morning, wanted to check on drinking vodka this evening or not. I make due date 4th Sep 2013.
I had to terminate a pregnancy in late Sep at 13ish weeks because of incompatible with life diagnosis, so hope that doesn't happen again (I have a 25% chance but hopefully I'll fall in the 75% this time).

Oh my... Just absolutely decked it down my stairs carrying my Hoover! Ended up clearing the bottom four on my ass! I'm absolutely fine but all I could think of was 'no no no no no the bean'!!! Be careful out there everybody, especially with this big freeze on its way!

Oh no jm233 - glad you're ok.

Amiready - I'm sure alchohol in food is ok so long as its been evaporated off. I can't see any reason to avoid something like mussels in white wine.

In with meanmrsmustard, if cooked on food I'm sure alcohol is minimal and perfectly fine.

I had my early scan today and it was quite the result I hoped for.

I am 6+5 by my dates (I think).
The scan measured me at 5+5 which is not a problem but the sac is 4+4 so 8 days behind- ie not growing.
Sacs too big and too small are bad signs and I think from doing a google I now have 80-90% chance of miscarriage.
I cried all the way home- this baby wasn't planned but was very wanted.
I even saw its heart beating away and now am wondering when that will stop. Because it was not planned I had really thought this was a special gift - sadly probably not meant to be.
Sorry if I have upset anyone- will update you when I know either way :(

Meant to say - was not the result we hoped for!!

Jmf- there is still a chance everything will be ok! Fingers crossed for you, just take it a day at a time!

jmf sorry to read that. did you have early scan because of previous problems? Sometimes ignorance is bliss in the early weeks.

I have just had a 2 hour nap (well 1 hr and 1 internetting on phone) but DH/DS will be back from supermarket soon so need to get up. had planned to do some gardening today but it is so cold.

fingers crossed for you sweetie.

Jmf I am so sorry to hear that. Fingers crossed for you.

More fingers crossed jmf. Really hoping for the best.

Fingers crossed jmf - this is such a scary time.

Trying to be as normal and same as possible but so many 'what ifs' and in the end most of it is not in our power to control at all.
Can anybody tell me about hot baths - are we supposed to avoid them already? And how hot is hot?

My fingers are crossed for you jmf will be thinking and hoping for the best for you x

The hot bath thing confuses me too badguider I have been having baths at the same temperature I would put my 19mo DS in as surely that should be a safe and warm temp. Someone once told me if it makes you go red it's too hot but that was a friend so don't know how solid advice that is.

Badguider I think you are meant to avoid very hot baths, I think it's because raising your body temp too high can cause birth defects. But I think normally warm/ hot baths are fine if that makes sense! I tend to go for comfortably hot but not boiling.

Really sorry to hear that JMF......sending you a big hug xx

I read somewhere that the reason you shouldn't use a jacuzzi when pregnant is because unlike in a bath the water is constantly reheated and so your body temp can only go up and up, and if you do use a jacuzzi it should be for 10 mins max. That makes me think that a warm bath should be ok?

Thanks jm that makes sense - the reason I like my bath hot is that a warm one soon goes slow and I like to read for ages

Oh my! I got my BFP yesterday.. A VERY faint one. Today I got a massively dark one! Wow, still in shock (unplanned but most certainly wanted) Hello all! Hope we aren't all feeling too nauseous. Haven't read whole thread as it is just tooooo long.

I have also got a just turned 11m old baby boy born February 2012 so will have a 19m age difference! I am hoping to tandem feed my babies as my little man is still a boob monster!! Anyone else planning on this or with a short age gap?

Stats: InnocentRedhead, 21, BFP 11/01/13, DC2

^^ Can you tell im giddy?!

jmf fingers crossed for you. Remember that's still a 20% chance for positive results... And google is not always right. We are all thinking positive thoughts for you xx

Thanks for all the wishes.
I am really bad at waiting but have no pain/ bleeding so got to hope it had a huge growth spurt!!!

Oh I am so sorry for sounding insensitive, I had barely read the thread! JMF fingers crossed. As Carrie said, there is a chance there still!!

Hope all is well jmf. X

Hi innocentredhead. My DD is older but still BFs at the mo. was thinking we'd be tandem feeding but she's cut right back and I've 'gone off' it so we might even wean in the next few days :(

Hi all, just wondering if anyone else feels like hibernating and cancelling/not going out till after the 12 week mark -

I am feeling paranoid every-time I go to the loo/have a twinge etc
Sleeping is already full of crazy dreams or paranoid thoughts or day dreams of 9 months time...

My clothes already look too tight/I already have a bump/lump extra weight...

I feel sick sometimes and panic when I don't, I'm sooo tired and look sooo tired....and just want to hide away till I can shout it from the rooftops and justify most of the above...

We have a few social things coming up and work things and a christening and I want to say no to it all...

Anyone else?

Wowza! So glad I found you guys! Although I didn't expect there to be so many of us. I got my bfp this morning after being in denial for the last 4 days. DC1 is only 1 argh!! EDD is 20th Sept.

Hi dora yes, yes, to all of the above. I'm a neurotic mess and a tad unbalanced - go from deliriously happy at feeling sick (I have issues, seriously), to deciding it was just psychological, and that I imagined feeling sick, and then worrying that I don't feel sick.

I keep telling myself that I can't affect anything that happens, and that helps, but flipping heck, I want it to be the end of February already.

Dora yes ME! Im sitting in bed sobbing. Ive been at work all day in the cold, the only contactI ve had with DP has involved sarcasm, and Im thoroughly fed up. I am absolutely terrrified something will go wrong, I cant even image surviving till 12 weeks without having a nervous breakdown, and basically Im just scared. This baby wasnt planned, but I want it so much, and I know if anything happens to it DP will never let me have another!
