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!

You made me smile! Better 2 than none!

Hoping I get positive scan on Tue FX

I know 4 babies born in last 2 days and 2 more due imminently!

Does anyone else know of a cluster of births?? So many Birthdays to remember! All good news though!

Hello all, my first post too. I got a positive two days ago, 12 dpo, due I think on 9 October. It was our first month ttc (first dc), but we'd been planning for ages, I'd been charting with fertility friend since August and had my mirena out in November. My sister had a miscarriage last year tho, so I'm trying to be cautiously optimistic. We're on holiday atm, actually not dreading coming home because then I can do some proper obsessing and make drs appts etc! Good luck ladies x

Congratulations and welcome Pannacotta

Enjoy the rest of your holiday!

Oh mama how rubbish on bed rest, hope you're feeling ok and enjoying a bit of a rest. The thought of being in bed right now sounds ideal but just wish we could have it without the worrying bleeding.

Exciting about midwife appt. umlauf! and telling your boss, I am currently on a placement in the community so quite lucky am able to nip off to the drs in my lunch break without anyone questioning it.

Anyone else's DH or DP acting odd? We have been TTC for 3 months and he's always wanted to try for another one. Since I told him last week he hasnt really mentioned it. He says its just because he doesn't want to get his hopes up yet (which I kind of understand) but hes acting very differently than he did with DS and Im worrying. He did cook last night and told me to lie on the sofa though which he never does... maybe Im looking to much into it.

Oh mamab sorry you're having a rough time with it. try and enjoy the bed rest while you can!! I agree with umlauf read The book theif, one of the best books ive read in a long while!!
pinkbuttons don't worry too much about your DH, like he says hes probably just being apprehensive, take it as a sign of how much he cares. My DP is nervous too and always worrying, but trying to be positive for me.
I've been feeling a bit worried about how we'll cope finacially when the baby comes and i'm only on basic maternity allowance (due to my hours being cut at work recently) but went the CAB today and got lots of advice and had a good chat with DP about him providing most of the finances for a while, which is hard cos i like being independant but feeling better about it now. I did burst into tears at the CAB but the women was very understanding, haha, bloomin hormones, i wasnt even upset about anything!!
Having dinner with my best girlie friends tonight, gonna tell them cos gonna want their support no matter what. can't wait, i'm the first one of us to have a baby!!
hope you're all doing well!! xx

panacotta sounds like we're in the exact same position, due at the same time, first DC and got pg first month trying (we're very lucky!!) i'm definitely very excitedly cautious too!! xx

Hello all!

Had a stressful morning when I took my DS to nandos for a treat, met my DH there in his lunch hour, and mid meal by accident my DH bit my DS finger really hard! (in his defence he thought he was putting garlic bread in his mouth!) he screamed the restaurant down, we left swiftly via M&S to pick up some chocolate, which slowly calmed him down, only managed to eat half of our lunch!

unlauf glad telling your boss went ok, let's hope he's really easy on you now!

Poor you mama bed rest is only good when you don't need it! Fx Tuesday will be here before you know it, you'll see a lovely healthy scan and then you'll be able to relax. Till then, my fave DVDs at the moment are grays anatomy, but when I'm sad I do love watching the old faithful 'friends' to cheer me up!

Welcome pannacotta and congrats on your BFP. I won't forget your name saying that is one of my favourite deserts (close tie with sticky toffee pudding!) enjoy your holiday!

pinkbuttons I can't remember the last time my DH cooked for me! Last night he had a grump at me cos I was too tired to tidy the lounge before bed, I quickly played the 'don't mess with me and my pregnancy hormones' and he backed off!

roofio I'm so excited for you to tell your friends tonight, it's such a brilliant feeling once you share your news and everyone can get excited with you. Money is always difficult when losing a wage, but I would honestly say with my DS (who is 2.5 now), I found we changed our lifestyle completely to adapt to having a baby, and didn't spend half as much as before (no exciting holiday, meals out, socials for a good year, which I know sounds a bit sad, but actually it was lovely just pottering at home with our baby)

Hello all, I'm new here too! Positive test this morning and estimated due date 8th October. This will be my first child but not for my husband who already has twins, they're 10 though so it's been a while since he did this!

Doctor's appointment booked for Friday where I'm hoping they will 'officially' confirm it? Not sure how it all works though to be honest!

I'm so excited, hubby and I have been wanting a child of our own for many, many years so over the moon!

at idea one of us will probably have twins

Hey all!

I am new to the forum, and I think I am due around 8th October. This will be our first! I am so excited, but also can't fight the feeling that something is going to go wrong. I think it's because this our first time TTC and it all seems to have gone a bit too smoothly so far!

Anyway, symptoms are stomach cramps, major headaches and extreme tiredness. I was really worried about the stomach cramps at first, but spoke to my doctor today who said this was normal. I find it odd that I am having no boob issues at all though as it seems as though everyone else is!

As for twins - my Mum is one (fraternal), so there is supposedly a possibility of me having twins too. I would love that

roofio87 and pannacotta - we have very similar due dates and, first DC and got pregnant first time TTC! It's so nice to know you guys are in the same position as me

Thank you for your support ladies. Hope everyone is having a nice evening.

Thank you for the dvd ideas. I'm keeping positive and FX for Tues!

racheld you're right,I'm sure when the baby arrives our priorities will change. my sister has a five month old now as well as a 3yo and is done with kids so we are going to be given a lot from here!!
roxvox yeah seems we're very similar,excited to go through everything together with some lovely ladies!!

Hello all, can I join? I got a BFP this morning and I think that my due date will be 3 Oct.

I already have a DS who is 20 months old and two of my SILs are also pregnant, due in the Spring, so there are about to be lots of babies in our family!

I have known that I was pregnant for about 3 weeks now, I felt exactly the same as with DS - a slightly sick feeling which was always in the background from a couple of days after conception. Over the past 2 weeks I have taken 4 tests and this morning's was the first positive one. I was starting to think that I had tricked myself into feeling sick by being so convinced that I was pregnant!!

I'm slightly nervous though. The test I did today was at the same stage as I did my first test when pregnant with DS (I don't know how I had the patience to wait that long!!!) and with him the line came up immediately and really strong whereas today it was less strong and developed over a minute or so. I know that the packet says that both are equally valid positive results but I'm still going to do another one tomorrow morning before I make an appt with the MW.

How is everyone doing this morning?

Hi all,

Going to GP yesterday was a bit of an anticlimax. Was looking to have discussions around what to eat, some of the symptoms I was having etc. she was very abrupt, no congratulations even, just said I would get a call from hospital for an appointment around 10 weeks.

Plus, she didn't even print off form to be faxed to hospital cos the printer was printing on the wrong paper! So she gave someone a call to send my form off later, now I keep worrying if they forget to send it.

On the plus side, she took my blood pressure which was good ( not cause she told me but I know what the numbers mean) and symptoms not too bad.

DH is being real great, he wants a mumsnet for dads too

Hello all, (special waves for roxvox and roofio - firsttimers like me!) well I'm getting pretty bad headaches, I didn't even know they were a symptom. Otherwise not that much, occasional nausea, exhaustion and rage... I thought it would feel more different? Still very early days tho I guess. And still on holiday, so maybe if I was doing normal stuff I'd be feeling more different. My dp is being very sweet, he's really chuffed too.

greensunshine I got my first BFP last Friday with a 4 day early test and was so so faint!! been retesting every day since to make sure (with some v cheap tests!!) and today is the first day I've had a strong positive line so it will probably come in time. every woman is different and I'm sure every pregnancy is different too!!

Hello to all the new ladies to the thread and congrats on the bfp's
Greensunshine - I was exactly the same as you. Had a strong line with dd (20 months) and much more feint this time round. Haven't retested again though - as I just have my fingers crossed that all is well.
Don't have many symptoms apart from being totally knackered. Keep falling asleep on the sofa at 8pm!
Started to worry about work a bit yesterday as my job will be at risk later this year and I think I'll find it hard to find a new job with a bump. I know it's not meant to make a difference but there you go.
How is everyone doing today?

Awake at 4am this morning, wiiiiiide awake and no chance of getting back to sleep - hope that doesn't continue!

I'm another one who has only really had headaches as a symptom. I'm 4+ 5 today.

Im another one that only had a faint BFP. greensunshine was using boots tests then got a speedy dark + on clearblue. could it just have been the test?
Feeling slightly less dead on my feet today... cold almost gone so maybe was just mixture of early pregnancy and cold not just the one.
Anyone else feel like time has slowed down massively since getting that BFP?

Time has definitely slowed down! I am not wishing to waste my life away, but I can't wait to have the first scan... That will somehow make all this seem more real :)

I also am desperate to tell everyone, but me and DH are keen to wait until at least after the 8 week mark. When are you all intending to tell your families?

I have literally just told my mum and dad was going to wait a bit longer but am really close with my parents and would need their support if anything did happen. Feels a bit more real now though!!!
think may tell my closest girl freinds after 8 ish weeks though

we've told both sets of parents as we're really close to both and I've told my best friends. I decided to just tell them as I'm the same and would tell them all if anything happened anyway so what's the difference. I'm also so close to my friends and we discuss everything so it would have felt like lying to them!!will be waiting till first scan to tell anyone else though!! can't wait for that!! had my GP app today,she did my blood pressure and gave me my EDD. just need to ring up the hospital tomorrow to book into their antenatal clinic. I also have a history of cancer so will be monitored by a consultant just in case.all starting to feel more real now!!x

Ok ladies I need some tummy holding in tips. 5weeks preg and my tummy is already looking swollen. It feels kind of weird and numb as well and my trousers are getting tight, fitted fine a few weeks ago. No way I should notice this at 5 weeks surely. Anybody else notice their tummies expanding yet?
