Any one else hoping for a 2014 baby?

I'm hesitantly dipping my baby toe in the pool after having a mc last October. I'm 4+2 today with my first and hoping and praying this one sticks.

Here's to 2014!

TheSlug · 06/05/2013 21:39

Am I supposed to see my GP straight away? I'll make the call tomorrow if so!

TobyLerone · 06/05/2013 21:41

Call your surgery tomorrow and ask. They all seem to have different criteria.

Oh, and congratulations! :)

Hi ladies, can u add me to the list too please :). This will be baby number 1 for me after 5 years of trying and was just about to start ivf no 2 when I found out. Clear blue dig says I'm 2-3 weeks so I'm certain a jan baby..jan 8th I think. We are so so excited but I'm also so scared, anyone else feel like this. I just can't quite believe it yet, no symptoms apart from thirsty and my boobs are bigger.
Congrats to u all xxx

LittlePeaPod · 06/05/2013 21:50

chocoloulou33 · 06/05/2013 22:03

littlepeapod why don't we make a new/separate thread with the stats like the other 'due in' months have done. Will save some room on here as the list is getting sooooo long x

LittlePeaPod · 06/05/2013 22:05

Sounds good to me.. X

blondebaby111 · 06/05/2013 22:06

Hi pea, yes I did. Thanks for link x

chocoloulou33 · 06/05/2013 22:24

I'll let u do it pea as u so good with the list :)
Does anyone else feel like they've got a mountain to climb? I'm 5 weeks 2day & the thought of getting to 12 weeks just terrifies me. I don't wanna worry any of u lovely ladies or bring u down I just need a good shake I think. I had 2 m/c's b4 dd who's 5 but now I'm pg again it seems like only yesterday & feels like I'm just waiting for it to happen which I know is soo negative of me. Was ttc for 8 months & am just so happy I'm finally pg I don't want it to all go wrong. Sorry for the rant just needed to get that all out & just want to hiberate for 2 months tbh x

LittlePeaPod · 06/05/2013 22:29

Chocolate, nothing wrong with worrying. It's so hard not to after a mc. I know, I had a mc in March and panick every time I get a twinge etc. But we are here and pregnant and we can only take it a day at a time. Not easy though.. Smile

Oh by the way, I won't be setting up other thread. Don't mind updating when I can on here but don't want responsibility of keeping alternative thread updated.. Wink

MrsHowardRoark · 06/05/2013 22:32

Hi choco

I'm sorry for your losses Flowers
I don't think you will bring anyone down and it's the reality for a few of us.

I had a mc in January at 10+2 and I'll be very nervous during these 8 weeks more than I was first pregnancy.

However, I am thinking positively that I have a very sticky baby here Smile

chocoloulou33 · 06/05/2013 22:35

Thanks pea yep one day at a time is all we can do I suppose. No probs with regard to the list. Was only an idea but don't want to make things harder lol.
Extreme tiredness seems to be the only full on symptom I'm getting everyday. Am also one of these mad people wanting a bit of sickness lol. We might regret these words in a couple of weeks! X

chocoloulou33 · 06/05/2013 22:37

Thanks mrs sticky baby vibes all round. It rly helps talking to you ladies who have been thru similiar x

LittlePeaPod · 06/05/2013 22:39

Chocco I am with you on the sickness. I want to feel sick..... If I am sick and come on here to complain about it please remind me.. MrsH is right about been positive. That's why I like this thread.. There is always someone here to listen or answer a question.

HumptyDumptyBumpty · 06/05/2013 22:52

Just stopping in before bed to hand out comforting ((hugs)) to everyone - I am super nervous, plus excited and impatient. We can do it! Day by day!

Also, high five to MrsAVB - so exciting that you have your appts! I'm phoning GP tomorrow - found out last Fri, didn't want to call straight away (because that would curse it Hmm) - cannot wait to start meeting midwives etc.

chocoloulou33 · 06/05/2013 23:22

pea I was sick as a dog with dd so why i'm wishing it on myself I don't quite know lol. Was hell. Lost a stone & was signed off work & literally could barely keep water down. Fainted twice. Am I putting anyone off yet haha.
humpty thanks for the ((hugs)) love that we r all going thru it together :) my friends r great but I think I would drive them insane if I talked about pregnancy 24/7! X

Sultanajo · 07/05/2013 02:35

Chocco you definitely arent bringing anyone down. Even without experiencing losses its a scary time, but having experienced first hand what can go wrong makes it ten times worse! Definitely feels like a mountain to climb! I think Humpty put it perfectly - super nervous, excited and impatient!

Now for all you ladies who want to feel sick (and this was me also about a week ago), the reason I am posting at 2.30am is because of nausea! Everytime DH turned over in bed I thought I was gonna hurl. So I am now sitting upright on the sofa trying not to move! No idea how I am going to deliver my 8am training session later on - gonna be a zombie! The only positive about the nausea is it is stopping me from worrying about things going wrong right now as I am just trying to get thru the minutes...Envy

TobyLerone · 07/05/2013 06:10

choc, I hear you.

I'm feeling very defeatist today. Last night, when I wiped, it looked faintly pink. Now I'm just waiting for another mc.

LittlePeaPod · 07/05/2013 06:19

Toby I am so sorry to hear how worried you are. I know that dreaded feeling when you see that but I also know it can be perfectly normal to see a little pink in early pregnancy whilst things settle. I am sure things will be fine for you. Flowers

TobyLerone · 07/05/2013 06:25

So google tells me, but with a mc and 2 mmcs under my belt, I'm not hopeful.

Thanks, though. What will be, will be, I suppose.

LittlePeaPod · 07/05/2013 06:27

I had a mc and I know I would be exactly the same. I know there isnt much I can say to help ease the worry but sending you ((hugs)) and my thoughts are with you and I really hope everything's is ok and the pink doesn't return.

TobyLerone · 07/05/2013 06:32

Thanks, lovely :)

Nothing this morning, and I have my booking in appt on Thurs, so if nothing else happens by then, I'll mention it to the mw.

MissMedusa · 07/05/2013 07:14

I am such an idiot! I've been taking my temperature every morning and continuing to POAS every day. Yesterday my temperature dropped and when I took the CBD test it said 2-3 weeks (yesterday should have been 3+ weeks). So then, when I found a small amount of blood (I really had to look hard for it) I had convinced myself it was a MC. Cue freak out. Then this morning, no blood, temperature back up and CBD says 3+ weeks.

Moral of the story: stop looking for problems. No more tests, no more temping and no more obsessive knicker checking for this girl!

Oh Toby, it's such a worrying time and I know how you feel and it doesn't matter what we say on here you will still worry (because that's how I would feel), but I wanted you to know I am thinking of you and will keep everything firmly crossed it's just one of those random "normal" spots. Flowers
