October 2013-anyone else with an early Bfp?

[tackytiger]

Got my line at 10dpo
This will be my secomd dc. Torn between delight and fear it will all go wrong. Dd october 3 by my reckoning.
Cant tell anyone except dh in real life so hoping i can get quietly excited here!

Hi there - well the inevitable has happened .....

Wishing you all the very best for your pregnancies and happy healthy babies xxxx

Aw no poor u celosia hugs xxxx

So sorry Celosia

Cherry and GT I've got a single Oyster for DS and it's been a fantastic pram, have heard mixed reviews about the Oyster Max (in particular there was a thread on pushchairs topic the other day which wasn't very complimentary) - I really want the iCandy peach blossom but it depends on how far I can stretch the budget! Went through about 5 different prams with DS before finally sticking with the Oyster, so I'm hoping this will convince DH that buying cheaper will be a false economy!!

oh no celosia Im so sorry to hear that. I really hope youve got some lovely support in RL

Hi Pink - not really :((( we've only just moved here to SA so I don't really have many girlfriends yet.... Feel like a complete and utter failure.

Sorry to hear that celosia. X

Look after yourself

the only bad review ive heard about oyster max so far is that the rear seat doesnt have a great deal of space for the larger child.. id most definately try before i buy but wont need it to be overly spacious as DD is still only little xx

Im really sorry to hear that celosia. please dont feel like youve failed at all!! weve all heard the scary figures and facts. Really hope your back on a bus soon.

Lots of love Celosia

I'm so sorry to hear that sh*tty news Celosia, pour yourself a large glass of something. Big virtual hugs coming your way. Xxxx

Sal I've been thinking the sae thing for the pas hour! I reckon I will - cheers to you all ladies xx

celiosa I am so sorry for your loss and wish I could come and give you rl hug. Be kind to yourself and I hope you get a sticky bean soon x

To ladies looking at doubles I can't recommend mini city twin highly enough. We have four year age gap and was real easy to steer and narrower wheel base than most singles and one handed fold. Side by side but fits into any shop easy

So sorry to hear that. Big hugs x

I am so sorry to hear that Celosia. I too wish I could give you a real hug. Please don't feel like a failure. I know it doesn't help much, but I am a big believer that everything happens for a reason. xx

sorry to here that Celosia

Oh celosia,I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you & your DH look after each other. Pour yourself a lovely big glass of something local & be kind to yourself.xx

And,no, it's nothing to do with failure. Please don't beat yourself up.

So so sorry Celosia. x

Celosia I am so so sorry :( Please do not think you have failed, there is nothing you could have done to make things turn out differently. Be kind to yourself and take all the time you need.

celosia-my heart goes out to you. take care of yourself

Hello
Just got my BFP! EDD 20th October!

Morning Merlioness! Congratulations! Haha...you must have been up testing at the crack of dawn!!! X

celosia so sorry to here what our going through. Take things easy.

Congrats merlioness

How the docs this afternoon to sort out mw process. I think last time my first mw was at 8 weeks? It's starting to feel real

Morning all, and welcome Merlioness. Gosh we have EDD's over halfway through October now, that's actually making it seem like time isn't standing still!

So, early days I know, but who has been thinking about/decided where to give birth? Am in a quandary - my local hospital is apparently one of the best maternity units in London with a nice birth centre BUT I had my son there and the birth was dreadful! Midwives were awful during labour and on the postnatal ward, and generally was a vile experience. However looking at my other options, they get slated as much as this one. So do I go with the closet and apparently the best, and put my poor care down to a one off as I was inconsiderate enough to have a baby on Xmas Eve when midwives didn't want to be there? Or take my chances somewhere else?

Bowlfullofjelly I'm hoping to have a home birth this time - nothing wrong with the care I received last time and managed a drug free labour despite DS being back to back, but I panicked with the transfer to hospital so would like to avoid that if at all possible! Plus DH doesn't drive so it would be a case of getting a taxi unless it was daytime and my dad (who would be minding DS) could take us but don't want to wake DS in the night for a hospital trip :)
