February 2014

[vix206]

Very early days but I'm due 26 January - really expecting early February after being 15 days late with DC1. Thought I'd get the ball rolling

Anyone else?

Just me at the moment then :)

Vix - come and join us in January for the time being!

Thank you Yoni!

It might sound funny but I'm really looking forward to not being far behind everyone on an antenatal thread! Both my pregnancies have been due at the end of the month and so I'm always one of the last to have scans etc. I've no doubt this baby will be early Feb rather than late Jan so I'm lurking on your thread but sticking with this one. There's no way i could keep up with 2! Hopefully I will have company soon

I know that feeling - DD was 27th and I ended up giving up on thread for the same reasons you give! This one is 02/01 so I'm ahead of the crowd

Thought I'd have some company by now

Still by myself?!

Hi vix not sure if I'm too early to join you? I got my bfp today, 1 - 2 weeks apparently!

Due 5 Feb possibly?

Still v v early days. This is dc #1 for me, conceived cycle 1, so I'm in a bit of shock!

Yay tinypolkadot! Congratulations and thank you for easing the loneliness!!

Thanks very much vix and congratulations to you too!

So much to start thinking about, not really sure where to begin!

I can keep you company until Friday and then I'll be away for a holiday (undecided if that's good timing or not!)

Surely someone else will join us by then?!

I hope so!

Any symptoms yet? I mainly just have a very sore chest and feel more tired than usual.

I have an almost 3 year old to run rings round me, so not much chance for resting this time round for me

I have, the main one is tender, swollen boobs. That's what alerted me yesterday as I was sure we hadn't conceived this month. Shows what I know!

I've also noticed my sense of smell has been sharper the past week or two and I've been having some very vivid dreams. I can sniff out soup in the office as soon as it's been opened

All my old aches and pains seemed to rear their head last week which made me wonder if I could be pg.

Aw, is your 3 year old a boy or girl? Do they know they might be getting a brother or sister yet?

Oh yes I forgot I also have vivid dreams, insomnia and I'm very thirsty all the time. The odd touch of nausea but nothing too bad yet.

I have a little boy. He doesn't know yet, after having a miscarriage in march I'm keeping it quiet around him until I have the 12 week scan

I've not had any nausea yet either, hope it holds off for a couple more weeks!

So sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I've only told my mum, and will probably tell everyone else after 12 week scan too. Maybe tell the inlaws after the holiday...

Where are you going on your holiday?

We are going to Italy to stay with some friends, so probably going to have to let them know why I'm not drinking lots of Italian wine! I'm really looking forward to getting away for a bit. Our last childless holiday for 18 years at least

Where in the world are you vix? UK or further afield?

Yes enjoy it!! I'm in Northamptonshire. How about you?

Ha! We're practically neighbours! I'm in Bedfordshire

Hello, due 1st feb here however am fully expecting a jan baby as DS was born at 35 weeks!! Am also keeping it quietish after a mmc earlier this year and am in Yorkshire! Think that covers most things you've already mentioned!! This will be the only time ever I am up to date

Hello MrsSpencerReid! Welcome sorry to see you had a MMC. Mine was not missed, I just started bleeding at 6 weeks

Here's hoping for healthy pregnancies all round this time!

Hello MrsSpencerReid congratulations and welcome to the thread!

I'll second that vix!

Thanks I'm all for well behaved babies from the start!

Ha! Yes well I'm hoping for a well behaved baby who will sleep well!! By well I mean not wake up every hour at night for the first 6 months. My DS was a disaster when it came to sleep! I'm hoping I've learned a few lessons through him that may help though

MrsSpencerReid how old is your DS?

May I join you please? Found out on 26/5, due about 4/2/13 so v early days. It will be my first. I'm 30 and I'm from hertfordshire.
I have had that top of head tingling, rush of blood feeling every time I think about it so far.
Good luck all!

People who are on their second time around: what next? Docs?

Yay congrats thisisfreakingmeout!!

It varies by area but generally speaking you need to see your midwife between 6 and 10 weeks. I'm waiting until 7 weeks to call them as round here they prefer you to be at least 8 weeks. Are you taking your pregnancy vits?
