[OrangeMochaFrappucino]

Ok, I can't see a May thread in here so I guess I will start one! According to the NHS due date calculator my EDD is actually 30th April but I think that makes me more likely to be having a May baby anyway!

Am feeling very tentative about starting this thread as I had a mc in June and it's very early days for this one but...anyone want to come and chat through these nerve-wracking first few days?

Oh i allways call them dead fly biscuits gave one to my DH the other day and he was like im not eating flys hehehe

Welcome momof2 and congratulations and wow just one more to go

Who is this Baldy Gary everyone is talking about? Wasn't he on Babylon 5??

AliOh I am SO glad its not just me DROPPING EVERYTHING..... You should see how many typos I have made just trying to type this message.......

Congrats mumof2 Welcome to the gang... we do have a stats page... scroll up and you'll find it, feel free to write your details in!!

xx

Rebecca I think you got me and coventgarden confused.

Lolablu we are due date buddies!!

Stats added thanks for letting me know ThePFJ, lots of may babies!

D'oh! Only JUST found where the stats tab is on the May stats spreadsheet... loving the graphs and pie charts I do love a good pie chart. Pie... blurgh.... :P

covent garden sorrry i commented to the wrong person! Congrats on your amazing news. We're total age/location buddies.

Pie charts are super practical.... both yummy and informative..... Especially Bacon and Egg Pie charts...... NOM NOM NOMMMMMM xxxx

Where do u find the gender things?

I can't see pie chart or graph on iPad

The bounty website... and Chinese Birth Predictor Here xxx

I don't think there actually is a pie chart. We just like them. Statistics and stationary.... stealing mousemats and biros from the office... You know the sort of thing

A-ha! I made it to the end of the thread brave sir robin is back from a day with the inlaws and I bravely turned my tail and ran hehe. Thank you so much for kind words!!

After a box of festive friends I feel much chirpier!! Ours is a self referral around here too- am in sunny rainy Worcester.

On a VERY positive note- inlaws left me £80 to 'treat myself' woop woop!

There seems to be lots of your in the north!! Must be the water up there! I didn't realise cramping was normal in pg? Have just been to see the evil dr google to check if I had signs of mc.... He was effervescent as always.

Congratulations new joiners!

Dont worry thistle i cant see them on my phone eather think u have to be on PC

Wow!! NannyPlum you are so brave.... let me feed and water your minstrels for the night and invite you to cake and to put your feet up!!

Glad you are feeling better!!
LOL Dr Google... yes.. I see him ALL the time....
Cramping in the first trimester is pretty normal as long as its not intense and long lasting... e.g hours of really bad pain would be a concern. I find I am cramping and twinging. A twinge is totally different to a period-pain like cramp... its like my muscles moving about down there... If you see what I mean?? Feels like my muscles above my pubis have formed a wall, and I can feel them when I bend over.....

I am in Derbyshire - which I guess counts as North... but I was born and raised in Cornwall....

NannyPlum I've had cramping on right side where I guess my ovarie is, did some research and looks like its from a corpus luteum which forms on the ovarie from which you ovulated. It pumps hormones to make sure your womb lining doesn't shed whilst egg implants. Normally breaks down after a few weeks when not needed anymore but can cause discomfort. Which is great as we obviously don't worry enough as it is!!

Corpus luteum cyst forgot the last bit. Sorry

Ooooh Chinese thingy says mini thistle is a girl!

mumof2 I never knew that..... this totally explains the cramp like feelings on my left side.... I only have one fallopian tube you see.. so I am a lefty.... Wow... I feel so much better now. Thank you for your wisdom!!! HUG!!! Extra Cake for you M'Lady!!! xxx

awww thistle that's brilliant!! Does the Bounty Predictor agree though?? We'll have to start a new thread soon... And since I am Little Miss Clumsy I think I am NOT the girl for the job.... so I am going to leave you all for the night - because let's face it.. I chat on and take up valuable posts See you all in the morning.

(Night night Brave Knights who until recently said Ni!)

Just cried at the song "Nothing Gonna Stop Us Now" by I think its called Starship? I love the song and I've never cried at it before, there's a memory attached but its neither happy nor unhappy... Hormones are taking their toll for sure.

Hello and congrats mumof2 wow high five to the ever growing may-bies club!!

Never heard of them being called a dead fly biscuit lol that's new on me :) cow biscuits I understand lol

ThePFG my pleasure. I was really scared when I had cramping so made it my mission to find out why! Make sure you use it as an excuse to rest though I have, OH is making me tea as I type xx

Oh DP wants to watch titanic ... I have warned him about how emotional I am going to get, god help him lol!

Night night ThePFG

LOL no worries Rebecca easily done. Age, location, and DC1

Cybercat please don't feel guilty, having trouble TTC is s**t, although
most of nurses are lovely, I wish nobody has to go through treatment. Not romantic and very intrusive.

PFJ since this morning, there is a Stats tab on the stats on the Maybies Stats doc. with pie chart and other charts.

Haven't recovered from last night, and have a long day tomorrow, so night night all
