January 2014 - Start the new year off with a pop

[MissMedusa]

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!

Welcome and congrats dancing and habitual! Soooo tired tonight- early to bed for me! Xxx

Congratulations to all the new ladies with BFP.

So how are you all doing this evening ladies?

Nothing to report over here.. Well except maybe my pregzella moment at work today and a bit sensitive generally! Emotional basket seems to be my main pregnancy symptom. Also got sore nipples now.

I think I'm gong to have to go to bed! I am so so so tired and have zero energy. Poor DP has had to do everything tonight!

Quick question ladies.. Is anyone else feeling cold and not able to warm up sometimes (mainly evenings for me)? Just wondering if its a phantom symptom or if anyone else is getting really cold sometimes?

If anything, I'm too hot. And I'm never too hot.

I'm already in bed :o

I've been cold in the early evening pea, but I thought it was just that we'd stopped having the heating on. Even with a fire going I feel cold though.

I seem to have a very slight red rash in places (like stomach and bum, nice!), but I'm still feeling a bit worried as my symptoms have gone this evening. Trying not to panic though.

Toby. I am cold and then get hot but mainly cold right now...

Book try not to panic. I am 5+1 and I have very few symptoms and those I do have come and go all the time. Apparently this is not unusual in early pregnancy either.

I get really cold in the evening too, especially when I'm tired.

super symptom spotting
I am with you there pea been realy cold some evenings, in bed covers and extra on, but takes ages to warm up and have to be cocooned! then like this evening, really cold, lots of blankets on the sofa finally warm up and am then too warm, still too warm half hour after taking blankets off.

Mostly really tired, have tried napping a couple of times but just have funny dreams and feel worse. Not been as sicky feeling today but have eaten sooooo much (felt too full sick this pm, a bit different).
Boobs really sore, think i notice them getting worse as the day goes on and get worried if they dont feel as sore as they did! find myself giving them a quick squash/squeeze to check!
Dont panic book i am 6 wks today and symptoms do come and go!

My symptoms come and go, and I had them very strongly from 5 dpo, tiredness mostly then raging nausea from 7 dpo. Now sometimes I think I don't feel pregnant at all. However I must be because my headteacher, a 50 odd yr old man with not an intuitive bone in his body apparentl guessed I was pregnant nearly a week ago. Puky looking and emotional apparently. I think he meant fat but was too scared to say so.

Hello and congrats to halfbaked, habitual Dancing and Tricycle!

Did anyone do a separate stats fred?

clapham I'm SURE it will be fine - but you know you can call: GP, midwife (if you have contact) or Early Pregnancy Unit at your nearest hospital if you are seriously worried. Have a nice cup of hot water and lemon (or something equally scintillating ) and see if the taste fades?

sunny pander and Toby I had a chat to DH tonight and we are def going to move apparently - YAY! No skanky Newham baby for us! I don't really mean that - it's just the particular part we live in (RIGHT by the airport, god KNOWS what we breathe in) is so grim. I can't wait to have somewhere where we can have space for stuff and not be woken at 5.45am every single morning by a plane roaring overhead.

Yay, Humpty! I suppose our move isn't too urgent, but I'd like to get it done asap. Certainly I need to get all the DIY and decorating done soon, cos that won't be happening with a newborn!

Midwife today. Also, I feel like crap. GP diagnosed me with tonsillitis last Monday. This morning I've woken up with a mega sore throat :( it hasn't hurt at all until now. Weirdest tonsillitis ever.

How is everyone this morning?

Morning all, good luck at the MW Toby ( love the name)

I can't get over how tired I am, with DD I didn't know I was pg until I was 14 weeks, but I have no idea how I got through this phase without noticing I was pg!!!

Hope you all have lovely days.

Morning ladies. How we doing today?

Humpty. No separate stats threads was set up.

Toby good luck at the MW today. she says feeling jealous I can't wait to see mine next week as it will feel more real I think.

Morning all!

Congratulations to Dancing & Habitual

Sad Toby & Humpty I'm glad DH and I aren't the only ones planning to move while PG. Great news that your DH is onboard humpty. We were planning on waiting until October before looking but we may have to bring that forward so we're in somewhere before baby arrives. We're first time buyers so hopefully can move quite quickly

Toby good luck at the midwife today and hope you feel better soon

Pod's right, no separate stats thread yet. I'm happy to set one up later today. I'll make it my challenge to do it at work without arousing suspicion from my work colleagues!

Morning all!

Congratulations to all the new BFPs! Gosh this thread is really on the move now!

Pod - I have been all over the place temperature wise. Feeling really quite cold in the evening, then warming up within 10 mins in bed and getting too hot. For around a week I was ducking in and out of the covers like a crazy woman! DH thought I was going mad! Last night was the first night I was a reasonable temperature all night, which was just lovely! (Perhaps that's because DH volunteered to sleep on the sofa for me last night, as I have been on the sofa the last few nights feeling yucky, as everytime DH turns over in bed the room seems to spin - like when you are really drunk and try to go to sleep!)

Good luck to all you prospective house movers! I feel very lucky to have got that out of the way last year - we moved house and got married within a couple of months....

A friend of mine moved house last year and they were meant to move in the week before she was due, then because of delays she didn't end up moving until 6 weeks after the baby was born. However, she said it was totally worth it and she would do it again!

I can't remember who said they didn't like their midwife, but I had that problem last time - she seemed more concerned about the fact that she wanted to get home for her dinner than booking me in, didn't take a urine sample or weigh me (which I thought was odd), rushed through the million questions on the booking forms, didn't actually ask me how I had been feeling but instead told me what I could possibly expect in a very matter of fact way and then arranged my next appointment. Thankfully she has retired!!! Woop woop! So now I am feeling a little apprehensive about who I will get next, as my booking in appointment is with the midwife who is covering the gap (who seemed mega stressed and a tad overstretched). I just really hope the midwife I see regularly is someone I warm to this time! You would think the nature of their job would make them a little empathetic and give you the time of day wouldn't you....?

Good luck at the MW today toby.

Toby meant to say good luck at the midwife today! xx

Anyone else getting period pain type cramps? I vaguely remember having them last time but don't think they went on as long...

Extra not had any cramps yet but I have read on MN that's its not unusual as your womb stretches to accommodate growing baby. Sorry cant be more help.

Extra I seem to get them every few days, they're not lasting long (maybe an hour or so) and every time I have a brief panic that something is wrong

I've been getting period-type pains since before my BFP, extra. I will see what the MW says and report back.

Thanks for the good luck. It'll be a thrilling half hour full of filling in forms and having needles stuck in me, I'm sure

Morning everyone,
Hope you're all doing well. Hello to all the newbies.
Nothing much to report - still not many symptoms but good strong line on ic last night which is reassuring! I think I'm 5+5 today and will have my scan on the 17th so I'm just counting down to that. I have a feeling about twins that I just can't shake so hopefully the scan will put my mind to rest about many things!

extra I've had no period type cramps, just a few twinges here and there but read on here that it's common to have such cramps. Hope they are not too uncomfortable for you.

Posted to soon... Glad I am not the only one with temperature issues. Didn't know if it was all in my head.

Sultanajo. Glad to hear you got some sleep last night. Hope you feel better soon.

Congratulations to all the ladies looking to move and good luck you find the perfect place quickly. DF and I moved last December so we need to get a lot of stuff done before baby arrives says with FX all works out well

I have another question. Anyone else started getting bleeding gums? I have.. TMI. I seem to have lots of little symptoms but nt the big morning sickness one.

Congratulations and welcome to all the new BFP-ers!

Toby - good luck at the midwife today.

Pea - glad you're feeling a bit more chipper. I tend to find that feelings like that come and go but nearly everyone feels the same at sometime or another. That helps me not feel like I'm going mad!

I'm currently alternating between feeling terribly guilty that DS will be a big brother at just 13 months but then thinking it might be nice for him and the new DC to be close in age. It's quite exhausting, emotionally . And I do feel awful as everytime MIL or my mum or my dear sis hear about someone having two children close together, they say how awful it must be and they're not judgypants pants types. My sis was telling me about a friend she met last week who has 14 months between her DC. Apparently she has a new fringe as her hair has fallen out with stress . Great! DH says we'll just have to be the exception to the rule and, worst case scenario, he'll buy me a wig for Christmas.

We're quite lucky in that we moved a few years ago and got married in 2011 before DS in 2012. Thankfully, we've got plenty of room as I think I would be tearing my hair out with DS, unexpected BFP and having to move! Oh and DH buying a practice - we really like to make things as crazy as possible!

Re temperature - I'm just fucking boiling all the time! Although I did have a few cold episodes before my BFP

Cramps - I've not had anything too badly. I do have an intermittent sore back though. I found with my 2 periods post DS that I didn't really get bad cramps anymore and I'm wondering if, as things are quite stretched ahem!, that's why I'm not really feeling anything too badly as I did with DS.

habitual - that is so exciting re being further on than you thought!

humpty - I hope I've not infected you with my clear blue compulsion. Now I've got the 2-3, I'm a lot calmer in that I'm only doing 2 Internet cheapies a day! I am not doing another clearblue til next week and then only 1 - just to check for the 3. It's totally ridiculous as they are not a proper diagnostic test but its like an awful compulsion!

clapham - sure you'll be fine with the cleaning products. I don't worry too much re them, just make sure I keep the windows or doors open.

sultana - know what you mean re the midwife. I'm booked in in 2 weeks time and mine are a real mixed bag ( putting it politely). I hardly saw the same one twice to be honest. But there are 2 lovely ones so hope I'll see more of them.

We're also going on a nct refresher course -just to meet more people with babies the same ages as my current nct chums will all be back to work when DC2 is born. We met lovely people on our course last year so would strongly recommend it. We booked very late (around August - DS due in November) and nearly didn't get a place so just wanted to pass on as I couldn't believe how quickly they got booked up.

Sorry if I've missed anyone out - will catch up later
