Due in Jan 2007 part 2......the one where we stop worrying!!!

[LadyTophamHatt]

Here we go then ladies.....

Hooo-Rah!! 2nd trimester is just around the corner

Hello everyone, haven't posted for a while. Hope you are all OK.
LTH - sorry you feel so worried - I know exactly what you mean, it's awful isn't it. My latest worry: I'm getting really paranoid that I haven't felt baby move yet. I am 17+5 today (although that in itself is odd since they've put me forward a week due to scan size- went to MW 16 week pg and came out 17 weeks)
Anyway, please can someone reassure me that it's OK and normal, I'm driving myself insane with it.

Katierocket, I have not felt anything yet and am 18wekks tom. Keep thinking I am feeling flutterings and think that might be it but then realise it is just wind. Sure it is normal not to have felt anything yet though. I dont think everyone on here has felt movements yet?

KR, I'm 18 wks today and although I think I can feel something sometimes it certainly isn't what I felt by this stage with ds3.
TBH I'm not even sure that it's not just in my imagination and just wishful thinking.

It's FAB to have to on here too, I saw your PG announcement a while ago and kept meaning to stalk you until you joined us
Congratualations BTW.

Thanks Dragonheart and LTH and thanks for the lovely welcome LTH, I am very pleased but, well you know, worry worry worry!

I think it's because MW said you can usually feel something from around 16 weeks with 2nd. Now why did she have to say that?!

Hi hope everyone is feeling okay, I'm just killing some time before setting off to get train to London for babys cardiac scan, my mum picked DD up at 7.30am for a lovely day out so I've had a long relaxing bath and cooked some yummy breakfast, going to leave in an hour and catch early train up and maybe doing a little window shopping on Oxford St before heading to hospital. Hope everyone had a good day xx

elliepippa good luck today, hope all goes well. xxxx

Okay, so I am 18 weeks today and I have just read my pregnancy bible to see what my little baby is upto and what it is growing this week and I read that I am suppose to be 'glowing, feeling wonderful and full of energy'. Er - can someone tell my body that please!! Try feeling fat, greasy and knackered!!

As I was going to bed last might, was just turning the lights off and heard running water downstairs. We have a problem with the tap as often it turns itself on after you have turned it off(think it needs a new washer?!) so just presumed that DH had not turned it off properly. Went downstairs to find the kitchen swimming in water and the dishwasher pouring water out!! AAAAHHHHHH! Worst thing was it was my fault as I had managed to put a tissue in it by mistake and blocked the drain so couldnt even shout at DH!

We are moving DS out of the nursery and in to his own room so that when the new baby is out of our room it can move into the nursery. We are doing it now so that DS is really settled in there before baby comes and doesn't feel turfed out. Went to Dunhelm Mill and Ikea yesterday and got everything (curtains, throw,blackout blind, laundry bag, toy tidy, cusion, and long wiggly dragon for £40! All deep blue, lime green and light blue with dragon pics on. Chuffed as only have £100 for whole room and still have to buy chest of draws. Curtains only cost £8.50- Bargin!!

Hope everyone else is ok.

Cardiac scan went fine ended up being scanned for 45 inutes as baby kept moving and they needed to check all 4 valves thoroughly as this is he problem with DH!! Was lovely to see baby for so long cant believe how active it was bouncing from one side to the other. Just seen my next doorneighbour and she has DD who is similar age to mine and shes expectig in Feb so been swapping scan stories! Must be my day for good baby news as nuchal results came back when I had DD it was was 1:27000 and this one is 1:30000 so no need to worry on that anymore!

Dragonhart sounds like you had a real bargain day hope DS loves his new room! Hows everyone else?

hi all
how is everyone???

WEll just had a scare as decided to look on bounty website at pregnancy breakdown which has 3d scan of every week..just looked at 17wks [am 17+4] and realised I have another little person on the way...eeeeekkkkkk

Have swapped over ds and dd rooms as decided dd is better to share with db and ds be in his own room as two littlies will prob still be teething at same time etc...have ordered ds a new bed with ladder so he is very excited..lol Had a dream the other night that I had a girl although am convinced its a boy...oh and last thing

I FINALLY FELT BABY MOVE LAST NIGHT

congrats nemo

We are gonna swap kiddies around too so the littlest are sharing

Morning. I haven't posted for a bit because I've been feeling soooo rubbish. But last night I had to get out of bed because I was soooo hungry, then went back to bed and slept until 7.30!!! I just hope it lasts! The scan was a bit of a let-down last week. It was a tiny portable effort and you could barely see a thing, so I've wangled myself a 20 week scan next month at the hospital on the proper scanner so we should be able to see more then. Hopefully dh will be able to come too. Depsite not eating and still losing weight (and killing myself with guilt over starving my poor baby), my belly is swelling at an alarming rate, and I've been feeling definite movements so I feel a bit more like I'm having a baby. It's funny, because I haven't felt the movements any earlier than I did with ds. Pah! So much for the books!
I'm with everyone on the baby-room juggling thing. Need to move ds, but it will involve him being downstairs, so I'm thinking about not moving him until we're ready to put the new baby into it's own room (though that worries me that ds will blame baby for taking "his" rom). Also, he will be a bit older and may be able to be in a bed, otherwise we'd have to buy another cot for a matter of 6 months, which seems daft.
Oh, and as predicted, after about a week of rejoicing in the cooler weather, I have now been heard to moan about the cold!!! Even put the central heating on one night ! Never happy!!! (maybe I should change my MN name...!)

Ellipippa, sound like the scan went well? Did you get the results then or will they let you know? Sorry if I am being a bit slow!

2Happy, I lost loads of weight last preg with morning sickness that just seemed to go on and on. I was really worried about starving my baby as you said. I have to say, he was 8lb 7 when born and he seems fine now and is abit of a troffer (sp?) when it comes to food!! Eats more than his cousin who is 2 1/2 and he has just turned 1.

Congrats nemo on the movement! Cant wait to feel it as it all seems a little unreal at the mo!

I've kind of realised something recently.

(sorry to go on again BTW)

The reason I'm not sure if I'm feeling the baby and worrying to much is because it's like I'm in denial about the whole thing.
I just can't believe I'm PG again.

Before I did the test I was driving the car and had to pull the seat belt away from my stomach and it was so sensitive. At the time I remember thinking "Ohh I do that when I PG, but I can't be, day 8/9 won't be a fertile time...I just can't have conceived"
This was at least 1 week before my period was due, probably nearer 2 weeks before it was due.
But I also remeber thinking, straight after the "deed" "Ohhh I think Dh has changed his mind and he does want another baby" because of his actions during the "deed" IYKWIM .

The shock I felt at seeing the +ve result was partly because I think I actually knew I was PG even though I couldn't possibly have known IYSWIM.

So the shock at seeing the result and the shock of being PG again and morphed into some weird denial because my body told me I was PG before any test could and that has freaked me right out.

The constant worry is because I just wasn't mentally prepared for it like I was the Ds's.

I'm sure you're all sitting there reading this thinking "OMG...she's mad....she's lost it" because I've read it back to myself and it does sound ridiculous but getting it down in black and white means it's real (for me). I forced myslef to tell DH about this last night bacuse (and this sounds equally as mad) it feels like I tricked him into having another because I didn't tell him weeks ago.

I know I didn't trick him but because I didn't tell him I knew I was PG before the test did it feels like I've kept a huge, huge, HUGE secret from him.

I'm mad aren't I??

I feel abit of an idiot posting that now....

lady, your not mad.........your just pregnant

Doesn't sound weird at all LTH, sounds perfectly logical. I understand exactly what you mean.

it is a little odd though isn;t it??

Dh wasn't really fussed. He said something like "yes it's your body, of course somewhere in your mind you're going to know you're PG before a test...."

I suppose he's right but it still freaks me out.

Hi, I'm due in Jan 2007 and I've just discovered mumsnet, it looks great so I'm hoping no-one will mind an new joiner in your discussions.

Hi Luckysmile and welcome I think you have joined at the right time as we are all trying to get past that worrying stage (although it seems none of us go more than a few days without thinking of something new to worry about (IYSWIM!)

Dragonhart I got the results straight away as the consultant told me that everything was fine but she'll put it all in letter with scan pics of the babys heart to my DR,midwife, consultant at local hospital and finally I also get a copy!

LTH I dont think you're mad in fact it eems logical what DH was saying I suppose you must have a 6th sense as I was fairly sure I was pg when I didnt even have any symptons must be hormones or something.

Hope everyoneelse is okay I am just going to go and paint some paint samples onto my kitcen and our bedroom walls as decided I want them decorated!!

Ahh, let the worrying end! I'm off this afternoon to get the results of my bloods and to check the little shrimp still has a heart beat. I know I really don't have any real reason to worry, but I'm pretty good at creating some in my head. This weeks example - I was caught in transport in serious heat for 3hours on Sunday and I've heard 'overheating' is not good. Now I worry that every tiny abdominal cramp I feel is a sign something is wrong.

At every check up I'm so relieved to hear all is ok - I take myself out for a big cake celebration. I can't wait for 5pm. It's so nice to hear everyone worries so I'm not being neurotic.

It's good to have more new "faces" in the gang luckysmile, welcome to our neurotic PG world. When are you due in Jan?

This thread is getting big now....anyone want to start a fresh one??
Maybe one where we stop worrying and start complaining instead

hey everyone - sorry haven't posted for a while...how y'all doing? so....getting kicked a lot now, which is really cool!!! baby seems to enjoy kicking his/her daddy in the back while we're in bed...so, onto the whinge....HEARTBURN! ARGH!!! someone told me i can get gaviscon free cause i'm preggers, is this true? i don't really want to waste my gp's time getting a prescription and everything and apart from anything else it'll be about two weeks before i can get an appointment. any comments gratefully received! oh, and this might be a bit gross, but has anyone else noticed hairy nipples? it's not in any of the pregnancy symptoms......! hi to the newcomers btw.....always nice to chat with new people. xxx

I'm due January 14th or 15th, depending on who is telling me. Maybe the kid is counting a public holiday in there somewhere

I haven't been feeling any kicks yet - or maybe I'm not noticing them. It worries me a little (of course!), but I was a bit worried at week 6 because I wasn't feeling any morning sickness. Well did that turn out to be unfounded - soon after I was reminded to be careful what I wished for.

I have a friend who just had her baby who was munching on some kind of pregnancy friendly heartburn tablets constantly. I'll ask her what they were and get back to you.

Well I bit the bullet and set part up hope this link works
