New thread

Sorry about the shoddy spelling and grammar, it's a pet hate of mine, but my fingers are obviously too fat for my phone...which incidentally is a sign of a healthy, blonde, green eyed, 7lb4oz baby that will be born on a Thursday....

I know,its so hard not to be paranoid. I keep reminding myself that its far more likely to end in a healthy little baby than not,but still hard to accept!!x

Another worrier here. 6+5. I'm far more worried this time round, last time I managed to block the negative thoughts far easier. Roll on 12 weeks...

Oh gawd it's hormones a gogo here. I just cried in my music lesson The poor teacher didn't know where to put himself!

Hope everyone is ok and scans go well for all. My nausea comes and goes but isn't too bad really but bloated all the time! It seems like I've already erupted out of jeans!

I'm just wishing gp would hurry up and confirm it so I can then get head round the process and play the waiting game properly rather than worrying that it is all in my head and not real.

Now off to wash dishes and collapse on sofa - probably to fall promptly asleep

Eurrgh.

Come home each evening and just struggle to stay awake for DD until DP comes home - then he bloody disappears for about 30mins to get chnaged and eat tea. I have developed the ability to eat dinner in about 10 seconds since DD was born - why can't he!

I have The Rage as well = anyone else suffering from this?

Think I am just really nervous as last mc is still so fresh in my mind and I don't seem to have any symptoms just really para prob over reacting just can't help feeling its going to go wrong x

Crookie, I get pains in same place, almost feels like trapped nerve but I had it last time for first few weeks so don't think that on its own is too much to worry about.
Strawberry - keeping my fingers crossed for you for Tuesday
Am eating whatever I want when I want at the moment incase I get bad ms again and remember turning down cake when I liked food.

Really craved salty crisps last time and went through a few days of eating a tonne of grapes. Plan to batch cook a load of meals to freeze as could not eat if I had to cook food last time (smell was too much) so micro meals was way to go but thought I would do own healthy version.
Good luck to all those having scans soon, a way to go until mine!

Hello all new passengers on the bus!

Rainbow

• YES to having The Rage (had a mini tantrum last night as got really hot in bed and did NOT want a hug!) and
• YES to the frustratingly long time it takes for my DH to slowly potter around when he gets home, remove his shoes as if he has only two (arthritic) fingers on each hand, remove his precious suit and hang it up at glacial speed, potter around some more, then tramp to the table for dinner. Grah!

I am sure that DH would agree that I have The Rage. Like the few days before my period, but All The Time.

Ohh yes, and more intense as well!

Thanks candr, that is really good to hear!

doctors was completely unhelpful, i know my mw's name, but not how to contact her as not had a booking visit yet, managed to look on the net for a mw out of hours number and spoke to a lovely lady who made me feel so much better

she said not to worry unless it turned into cramps or was very painful or there was fresh bleeding. She said might be something, but just as likely not, and to try not to worry - and that perhaps it's nature's way of telling me to slow down a bit [ha ha - 5 kids on half term, and 2 extras sleeping over tonight!!]

anyway - just talking to someone about it made me feel better!!

no more spotting, but pain still there. 8wks today

Hi everyone can I join? It's ok if it's too busy. I'm 6 weeks due the 14th October age 33 gave one dd age 20 months. I' feel really sick and headachy .

Wow, I can see the gas isn't limited to the bottom end , ladies ;) Lovely you are all so chatty!!

Welcome newbies, get comfy.

I'm really sorry there is so much worry and upset around. I'm dishing out very unmumsnetty hugs to those who need them.

I'm sorry I cannot address you all, but I can't remember who said what as it's taken me hours of dip reading to get through all the pages. Though walnut how could I forget you, your spamming did make me chuckle.

Try and stay positive, it's really tough, but the more we stress and worry the more pressure we put on our bodies. Goodness, can't win in this game can we.

Good luck with upcoming scans. Nat wowee, twins! Fantastic! Sighing with relief here as that means we've met the twin quota for the month anymore would just be bad lucky. I do know someone with an under 2 that had identical triplets in December, can you imagine very very blessed, but all of that work and feeding those hungry tums all at once during the night!?

haha I'm glad I made a few of you chuckle!!

a lot of worried ladies on here.. hoping all goes well for evetybody. its hard but we all just have to relax. i live in thailand and on half term so easy for me to pop to beach and for a swim!! I just cant stop peeing and get soooo bloated after my evening meal. I am due 16th October and will be my first! !

Wow walnut you lucky thing. Just come back from thailand...in fact that is where my bump was conceived! What a lovely place to live!

Hello. Please can I join? 7 weeks with baby number 1. I'm 31. Have next to no symptoms. Trying to feel lucky but it makes me nervous too. Time is also crawling by!! Trying for nine months so it was amazing to get that bfp!

Hi Leenhs. We are pregnancy twins! Am also 31, 7 weeks and first baby!

Morning everyone!

If you just copy and paste the stats you can add yourself on newbies

I am not really reasurred today sickness still not back im 8 weeks tomorrow and have my scan but not feeling confident
I have a uni assignment due today as well when all I want to do is hide!!

I have my scan today Falcon as well, I hope yours goes ok. I have no idea what the outcome will be for mine...

Why is time not going quicker!! Bit mer today - also not having many symptoms here - boobs still a bit sore but that could just be because I am squeezing them and prodding them all day to see if they are sore . 8+2 today and the rage has subsided, not feeling particularly nauseous, and a bit tired but have a cold. Thing is I can't remember how I felt at this stage last time - I don't think I had many symptoms but all a bit of a blur! Plus haven't had dates for booking in or scan yet. Rahh, rant over.

Welcome and congratulations to all new ladies - there is a list further up thread with names and due dates, think we probably need an update don't we? It's lovely that there are so many of us now, though getting a bit concerned that bubba will arrive at peak time and no midwives around!!

November thread will be starting soon and we won't be at the bottom anymore, yay!!!

Sal, sending positive, sticky thoughts to you!!!

Sorry and falcon (thread moves too quickly!!)

For those with early scans, here are some stats I found to help us worry a little but less....

After heartbeat is detected, risk of miscarriage is 9.4% at 6wks; 4.2% at 7wks; 1.5% at 8wks; 0.5% at 9wks.

So if we flip it a d look at the positives after a heartbeat is found the chances of it all being ok are, 90.6% at 6 weeks, 95.8% at 7 weeks, 98.5% at 8 weeks and 99.5% at 9 weeks.

I'll take those odds!! Xx
