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!

I'm the same as you Penelope. I've told those I'd want to know if I had a mc. Tbh, although I know it's fairly unusual to lose the baby after 12 weeks, I have 3 fairly close friends (of about 12 who've had babies, so quite high %!) who've lost a baby between 12 and 20 weeks, so I don't really see 12 weeks as the be all and end all. Last time, family knew from about 6 weeks, but I didn't tell the world until 20 weeks.... Horses for courses!

Tucking - this is our "scare"!!!!!! Both thrilled though obviously, and DD has been asking for a baby for months! Still.... Yikes!

How was yesterday flowerpot ? DH ended up telling his BF yesterday which was happy about as would want him to have some support if something happened.
Im another one gaving mild cramps. I dont know if Im just noticing every little pain but the past few days ive just had alot of aches. not quite like period cramps just pains havent had any spotting but cant help but worry. Especially when Im in bed and have nothing else to distract me. spent 2 hrs just trying to sleep last night. no wonder were all exhausted!
Hope everyones having a lovely weekend.

Morning ladies and welcome to the new bfps! For info, this is our first preg, due oct 1st.

I have seriously achey boobs which seem to be growing by the hour. Im a size 14 with 36ff boobs and feeling that people are going to notice them growing and give it away too soon . I hoping they will settle down soon! I too have achey tummy in and off. Not feeling the tiredness but ive been off work for 3 days with a bad cold so slept quite a bit.

We have agreed to tell his folks today when we go for lunch as they smoke and it would be awkward to try and avoid it without causing suspision. They will be really chuffed. We told our good friends yesterday who have a 7 month old boy. They knew we were trying as did we when they were so only felt right. Was lovely to talk to a girl about it all and get all excited!

I got my booking appointment through on saturday, 5th march and my 12 week scan on 19th march! Seems more real now. Letter says i need to bring wee to appointment but got no pot to P in?! What should i P in?

Anyway, has anyone got the miriam stoppard book, friend from yesterday is going to lend it, reckons its great...

Stupid but i did another test just now as we are telling in laws today. Why??!!!!

Well the weird pregnancy dreams have kicked in with a vengeance - dreams about being kidnapped and a house full of rats!

Sore boobs, but nothing worse than bad PMT. I'm having a little trouble sleeping, but that might be the 10 minutes I spend lying awake decidin that I really do need to get up for a wee and then not being able to get back to sleep. The nausea was pretty bad yesterday too.

Hello all - got a very strong BFP on Friday and just retested this morning for another BFP! Internet says EDD Oct 10th but as DS was born nearly 3 weeks after my early Internet predicted EDD I'm not putting too much stock by that date!!

I'm still breastfeeding DS (14 months) and have been a loyal member of the Dec 2011 ante/post natal club so excited to join a new one!!

We're not telling anyone just yet - mainly because my mother is a total loon and will be all doom and gloom about a close age gap (I don't think 22 months is too bad but whatever) And if we can't tell my DM then sadly we can't tell my lovely MIL or anyone else, so it's a need to know basis only.

DH and I have agreed he's getting the snip after DC2 is safely here as we basically had sex once in the last month and got pregnant! He is calling himself mr supersperm. Can't remember who it was whose DH was wishing for a mumsnet for dads but my DH has been known to post here. There are more dads about than you think!

DS is babbling in his cot so I must away for now - look forward to getting to know you all!

Morning ladies only joined mums net three days ago so excuse me not knowing the lingo

Assuming that dpo means 'days post ovulation'?

Anyway turns out I got my BFP yesterday well at least I think I did I done two of the really cheap flimsy stick tests (not due AF till Wednesday 6th) so dashed to chemist and got a first response which also gave me a faint second line and going by my last period I will be due October 16th just keeping it hush hush between me and hubby ATM. Have been ttc since sept so was surprised I got BFP already as it took a year to conceive my 2 year old daughter due to sperm issues on hubby's side, who else's positive was faint?

Much love xx

Pinklady - you can buy pee pots at the chemist

Welcome to all the new ladies an congrats on the bfp's.

When should we start getting a list of everyone's names together do you think? Don't want to do it too early.

Hey everyone.
I got my BFP yesterday, 10dpo. After fertility treatment so very hard won and much wanted. Official test date isn't until the 8th at 4+2, which makes it 3+4 for me today and stupidly early. Due date the 16th Oct I think.
Only symptoms are slight cramps, on and off boob soreness, and thirst/weeing. But nothing I would notice if I didn't already know. I'm keeping everything crossed for the next 9 months.
Need to arrange a doctors appointment to discuss a viability scan, and also a prescription for progesterone support.
We are not telling anyone IRL yet, might do after the first scan.

char1eston I'm a bit superstitious so want to stay off any list until our first scan. But it's definitely a good idea :)

DH did the same thing pink and im pleased as we struggled to get the bfp and ive had two mcs in the past. My DSis also knows. Very strange as with mcs no worrying symptoms, just heavy bleeds. Now im also feeling pain, stronger than PMS but much less frequent, more stabby pains - and mostly on my cs scar from DD

Am trying to feel positive but keep excitement contained. I do feel differently to my mcs even at the very start though.

Anyone suffering symptoms other than annoyingly painful boobs, fatigue mixed with insomnia yet? Am dreading sickness!

What's the list? Sorry I'm new too all this, delilahbelle that will be my due date too Hun I'm also 3+4 xx

That's a good idea Delilah - start from first scan and everybody can add themselves when they wish.

Natalieand - it's just a list of people's mn names, edd and whether they have other dc's

Dc's? Sorry new to all this only joined the other day on the ttc forum and BAM go an get my BFP lol xx

Hey Ladies, Very tentatively putting my toes on the bus. I got my Bfp on Friday and due to a crazy AF (only had it back for 6 months and cycles have been oddly long and still breastfeeding) I think I'm due on October 6th, but very likely to change at scan. We are surprised to say the least, as took literally one try again, but incredibly happy. Baby will have the most gorgeous big brother, DS will turn 2 years old next weekend!

I've only told my mum as she is coming to stay next week and will notice the nausea started already (almost since conception just like last time urg) and one local friend that I know will be very supportive if anything were to happen. I cannot help being as worried as last time, maybe more so strangely. But lets stay positive!

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all and reading your stories :)

How are you all feeling?

Well, after a weekend with the parents my resolve to keep quiet until 12 weeks went out the window . My excuse is they would have guessed anyway as I wasn't drinking my normal bottleglass of wine!

Tucking my OH is also unnecessarily proud, I think he is expecting some kind of medal

To those with tummy aches, not sure if this is any reassurance, but I had pretty much constants aches and niggles when carrying DS, but no pain at all with a previous MMC.

Decided to play it cool and not book GP appointment until 7 weeks, but now at everyones scan and booking in appointments!

my first post here too! Tested positive on Fri- EDD 6th Oct. Absolutely bloody terrified and excited at the same time. Thought I'd picked up norovirus at work given how nauseous I was this week but ended up doing a PT and BFP. Seeing GP on Thurs and assuming all well I know they'll tell me to get on with picking a hospital to book with- which has also left me confused. But the damn nausea (whilst reassuring) is making long days at work (I typically work 9am to 8pm everyday plus commute) awful!

I am currently 3+4 and so scared despite having one previous Healthu pregnancy. I have a very high BMI so I guess that's. increasing my worry. I just kinda feel like not lettin myself get excited incase its not meant to be but at the same time getting so over excited in my head I'm fit to burst with excitement lol. Anyone else feeling this anxious? My dd was only 2 in November and I can't remember for the life of me where I go from here appt wise? I no I will need consultant led care like last time because of my weight can anyone remind me do I go to gp or contact my old midwife?

Thanks ladies xx

Hi Natalie,sorry to hear you're worrying. I would say try not to but I know that doesn't help! My son was two last week,so were similar in that sense. I'm going to phone my GP surgery tomorrow & check with reception whether I need to see gp or if I can book myself in with the midwife who works from the surgery one day a week. If I were you I'd do the same,although I'll let you know tomorrow what advice I get. I'll be consultant led this time too due to last birth.

Hello
Got my bfp on thurs edd is 8th oct and this will be baby number 3!

natalie we can hold each others hands if you want. It's such early days I almost wish I hadn't tested. Do you have any symptoms at the moment?

Is there anyone else on here v v early?

oh so many new ladies on here its hard to keep up!! but welcome and congrats on the BFPs!!
delilahbelle I got my BFP really early,but now 4w+6d so feeling much more settled!
got tummy pains today but not been for a poop last couple of days so think its just that. increased my fruit and veg today so hopefully feel better tomorrow!! how's everyone else doing? I'm feeling so knackered but otherwise good!!x

Ahh thanks delilahbelle I kinda wish I hadn't tested either tbh haha silly as it sounds. I'm actually due my period on Wednesday and have a secon first response at hand to do first thing that morning. Been getting lots of heart burn (could be co-incidence) and a spotty face which is unlike me. I never usually test until my period due date silly me for doing it early this month lol. I wish I could see into the future and when I find myself talking to hubby about this pregnancy I say 'If we have a baby in October' just incase I have a false positive test, is anyone else experiencing symptoms yet?i didn't find out till 8 weeks with dd1 even tho I was ttc so I didn't have all the worry at this stage xx

also mamab and anyone else interested
I bought the mumsnet guide to pregnancy and am really enjoying it so far! it was published 2009 so a little outdated in some things,but otherwise really good. mixes fact with lots of opinions from mumsnetters. it doesn't tell u exactly how to handle pregnancy,just gives you examples of how others have gone about things and you can decide who/what you agree with. its also quite funny!! would definitely recommend xx
