due Feb 2007

[soundbites]

I haven't found a Feb 2007 thread yet so thought I'd start one. Just found out I was pregnant on Monday so it is very early days still - but so exciting nonetheless. The due date calculators generally say I am due on 1 Feb, with on churning out 31 Jan and another 4 Feb. I thought it was more like 15 Feb but I will find our more at my first doctor's appointment on 15 June.

My stats:
me 28
dh 35
first baby
due 31/01 or 1/02 or 4/02 or 15/02 ???? (take your pick!)

Anyone want to join me?

Thats excellent Hopecat. Thanks for that site. Will pass it on to DH!

Mornin ladies!!! How are we all feeling this morning?. I have been feeling really tired these past two weeks.

Morning everyone - and congrats to Uki's friend

It's a great site isn't it, flowertot? My DH loves looking at the photos.

Only 4+1 today, yet this morning I feel as though I've got a really bad hangover: nasty taste in my mouth, exhausted and dough-brained. Dread to think what I'll be like in a couple of weeks' time. Worth it if my seed's nice and strong though.

Off swimming now.

hello - can join your gang?
Just been to GP and got due date of 22 Feb.
We have been trying for a year since a miscarriage so I'm a bit anxious but trying to be calm!

Congratualtions Tommy!!, So sorry to hear of your loss last year. I am due around 18th feb 07 so there's not much difference between us. How u feeling?, I have had no sickness so far just feeling really tired.

started feeling a bit sick yesterday evening - DH reminded me that I felt sick in the evenings last time as well and also quite tired (must go to bed early!). Also, the indigestion has started already - I got it really badly with DS2 and it carried on until he was about about 6 months so the GP has already given me the prescription for Gaviscon.

Quick hijack: Peachy how's it going?

I have got my first midwife appointment on sat which i am lookingnforward to because this is my first baby so it is all new to me.

hi all. thanks for all your reassuring messages. I'm still a bit worried but the nausea comes back with nasty smells (like dh's coffee breath and hot balloons!) so it hasn't gone completely

Hello and welcome to Tommy

WOW not much chatter here today, I saw my friends baby so tiny, very cute half Japanese half western baby.

I tried to get an ultrasound appointment today but couldn't get one around the 8 week mark i wanted so i'll just wait till 11/12 anf geta nuchal as well.

HOPECAT!!!! what marvellous news! Congratulations - you must be thrilled (amidst the symptoms. I know it's been a long road.... Stop on here with us for as long as you can!!!

Congrats to everyone else too! Haven't been on for a while....no good reason, just cannot be bothered to do ANYTHING...poor DH, cooking, cleaning, making me decaff tea. Incidentally, may I thoroughly recommend PG Tips Decaf to all you teabags out there! A hundred cups and no palpitations!

Have midwife appointment this arvo. Am so nervous!! I just want her to say, yes your symptoms mean everything must still be ok! Have the most ridiculous belly, seriously need new clothes. Very tired. Waking at 4.30am every day (on the dot - weird) and then not getting off again. Tearful. Waves of nausea in a.m or p.m every 3 days or so. not sick. boobs like boulders.

Thanks Maazaa - I'm over the moon.

Got one other person on the March thread now. Hooray!

Hi all, congrats to the newcomers

I feel so crap. I was on happy hormones throughout my 1st pregnancy, not so this time
V tearful & mega tired and I don't have the excitement I had 1st time around which is hard to admit to , even though this was a planned pregnancy
Is this 2nd baby syndrome? Hoping once the tired stage passes I will pep up!

Well - tired again (remember that from last time). Haven't been to docs yet, but wondered when I should? Also thinking about nuchal scan - is it worth it (I suspect private is the way to go) - don't mind paying as long as it is worth the money - I am 36 going on 37 in three weeks - can't remember what risk levels were last time, but seem concerned about my age!

Oh well - better go and have bath & get organised for tomorrow - roll on the weekend!

Hello everyone can i join? Late to the party..

I am very unexpectedly pregnant, I am still breastfeeding my 9 month old boy, haven't had a period, and only only jiggy in the bedroom once in recent living memory...but I'm pregnant!

It's taken a little getting used to as I had a very traumatic birth and we'd decided to stop at one child. I have a colostomy bag as a result of a very serious tear sustained during delivery, and the weight of another pregnancy isn't going to do my wrecked pelvic floor much good. The chances of ever being 'normal' again are getting slimmer, but there we are.

I am taking myself out of the NHS system completely. I've had an early scan at The Birthing Company which showed me to be 7+1 with a lovely beating heart! I will have private consultant care, and my insurance company have authorised an elective section at the Portland Hospital.

All very different from last time round, which ws a planned homebirth which didn't go to plan!

I am 35, as is my husband, and our son is 9 months. He slept through the night for the first time last night, couldn't come soon enough....might as well get this one sorted on the sleep before the next one rocks up!

I am due 13 Feb but will be delivered a few weeks early to make sure I don't go in to labour which would not have a good effect on what is left of my pelvic floor.

I am so tired I want to lie down and cry all day, but alas not allowed with a very active 9 month old! I was the same with him, no sickness as long as I kept eating and it's te same this time. REally looking forward to piling on the pounds (or should I say 3 stone) again.

I think I'll have to wean my son earlier than I'd planned, the breastfeeding is HARD when I'm this knackered.
Congrats to all of us, looking forward to chatting over the next few months.

Hello everyone
I had my booking in meeting yesterday, so all paperwork filled in bloods and urine done. My midwife appointment is on the 26th July - after we break up and my scan should shortly follow before we go on our big holiday - hooray
The bra saga continues as I went to get measured I have been wearing 34C and in M and S was measured to be a 34DD!!!!I bought a cheap £7 non wired bra to start off with and will probably go for others soon - bit worried about how unflatteringly wide all the straps are.
The chicken pox saga also continues with another case in school. I have a telephone consultation with the Dr tomorrw AM. While I am at a the farm (Lovely)

Welcome spudballoo. Gosh your gong to have a very small gap aren't you!

teabags I've kind of been the same. I guess that DS is taking ever ounce of my energy so I don't have much left to get excited.

speaking of teabags... I second decaf tea. I went onto it when pg with DS as I cut out caffiene and I haven't turned back. I still have the fully leaded stuff when I'm out though and it can make me a bit jittery!

I'm definately feeling sick now. Today was bad, I felt it was quite out of control and was finding it hard to keep up with DS and to keep lively and positive for him. Tomorrow I'm on a course so I'm just hoping I'm not too bad or I'll have to explain to everyone what's wrong!

I've got several makes of Decaf on the go ( at work and at home) Big recommendation to M and S own brand, and also to yorkshire tea which has just bought out a decaf variety. If you go to their website you can get a free sample
yorkshire tea
You have to go into the site to where it says have a cuppa on us. I can catagorically state that the Clipper organic decaf tea is the worst cup of tea I have ever had. Do not buy even if there is nothing else on offer!

No no no peachy I beg to differ, Teadirect decaf is absolutely the worst cuppa ever-est in the whole wide world!
I've moved to Twinings decaf Earl Grey which is v.scrummy.

Sobbed today as missing my Dh, still he's back tomorrow. Exhausted but less sickness, still preoccupied that baby has died but with no logic to feeling this way at all. Have a fear that I'll have a scan and they'll say 'sorry sorky but the baby died 4 weeks ago' . Never felt this way at all with my last 2 pg. What's going on?

Hello everyone,

Can I join?

I tested this morning and got a BFP so I guess that's my PG confirmed Wasn't planned, my LO is almost 7mths old and I'd just started working from home.
Had a very sick PG with DS so hoping that i'll be able to cope this time. I was on the Nov 2005 thread throughout my PG and now on the postnatal thread. I used one of those PG calculators and gives me a EDD of February 25 - I was due with DS on Nov 27, but had him on Dec 3. Can't remember what i'm supposed to do now, do i call the doctor?

congrats to everyone else, anyone else already with a LO?

Welcome ChaCha. My DS is just 10.5 months so quite a wee age gap too. My doctor normally sees people after5 or 6 wks. And then you get booked in with the midwife about 9 or 10 wks.

Hi Suzi, thanks for that, amazing how much you can forget in such a short time.

Good to see someone else with a LO too. Do not know how i'm going to cope. DS is very, very active. [yawn]

lol I know the feeling ChaCha. This baby was very much planned but at times I keep thinking "what were we thinking doing it so soon"! Is your DS crawling yet? I think I've been permenantly shattered since DS started a month ago!

No, not crawling yet, but rolling and creeping everywhere. He is currently in high chair waiting for his breakfast and banging on the tray while screaming 'da da da da dahhhhhh'.

I am still on my first cup of tea! Guess, i'm going to have to limit my intake now too.

Will log on later, have to get some work done - just started working from home..hmmm!

Hi & congratulations to all the new people
Am keeping away a bit because have had a little bit of bleeding and slight cramps and feeling generally rather doomladen about this pregnancy
Have an appointment with the doctor on Monday so will wait til then and maybe ask for an early scan. Sorry to put a downer on here! In a slightly hysterical state as expecting to find blood everytime I go to the loo.
Still feeling sick in the evenings and tired and bloated so hoping all OK but there's nothing you can do is there - so frustrating
