June 2014 (earliest of early days yet!)

[wispaxmas]

I decided to take a peek into the antenatal club threads, but there's no June thread yet, although for good reason.

I may be jinxing myself here, but after a couple very very faint positives on ICs for the last couple days I got a positive on an FRER this morning, so thought it would be safe to start one up.

Of course, still early days, but if it sticks my due date will be 3-5 June, depending on several websites.... What can I say, I tested early!

I hope someone comes to join me soon. There have to be some more recent BFPs....

Hi everyone, my goodness this thread moves so fast!
I'm going to have to start reading it twice a day just to keep up

Welcome to Lucy, London, wheat (clever if you've decided to make it official ) and carrot.

Carrot I'm unfortunately a bit of a veteran, this is my 5th PG so I understand the self protection thing. It is hard as a bit of me wants to be so excited about being PG, but then another bit is trying hard to not engage just in case...

Lucy have you thought about trying spatone? always worked better for me than iron tablets and doesn't upset my tum.

Gillly- I asked the Recurrent Miscarriage Clinic about hair dye and they said it is absolutely not a risk factor, if that helps.

Bludger, hope your afternoon at work is going ok and you are able to take it easy, go home if it all gets too much for you.

I went to the docs yesterday, he agreed to give me the heparin without putting me in the system as pg yet, I will self refer to the MW later if thins go ok. Most of the questions were about how much psychological support I was getting, so possibly they worry I might go a bit mad with it all...but I thought it was kind of him to think about it. He didn't use the spinny thing so I don't know if the NHS will eventually change my date or not, but i'm still on 6th June for now.

Wow you were busy.
Got a call and have the midwife appointment on the 22nd and the NT scan on 18th November which is my mum's birthday so could be a good sign.

It seems the GP didn't put in my request for an early scan so will call again Monday as today and tomorrow am on training at work.

cheesy- round my way you can self refer to the EPU if you are worried and they will scan you, although I don't know if this is the same everywhere?

I've no experience of private places but I can tell you that on the RMC threads a lot of people swear by this place for reassurance scans

Hi Norah, yes someone recommended spatone to me but I have never tried it. Im hoping iron isnt too bad at the moment and beiing really good with meat and spinach

cheesy - Ive never had a private scan but have had an internal epu scan at 6+3 and saw a heart beat...this was after bleeding and all ok.

Ive felt very nauseous this afternoon :( hope its not the start of sickness

Hello ladies,
May I cautiously join? I have been reading your thread for couple days now and am worried if I join that I will be jinxing myself. This will be my second baby; although I have had 3 miscarriages. I am due June 1st, which means I will give birth in May as I have to do planned c-section and they usually do that 2 weeks before due date. So far not many symptoms but its not too late yet.
Hope you allow me to join your lovely group! I do hope that none of us go down with miscarriage. Nothing is more miserable than a miscarriage.

Wow this thread is moving really fast

norah we're not telling anyone until we've had that all important 12 week scan (well except you lot) Ds just came out with it at the dinner table which made me cough up my Spag Bol. I wasn't planning on telling him until I have a massive bump and he asks!!! I think a lot of his friends at nursery have new siblings so I think he was just chatting as only a toddler knows how!

Norah, this is my 5th pregnancy as well. I am on low molecular heparin as well and progesterone suppositories. I have APA syndrome and genetic factors causing blood clotting during pregnancy. Why are you on heparin.

Oh, I forgot to mention I am on the wrong side of 39 so I am high risk for multiple reasons. :(

Ok, is this totally mental:
When I mc in February, the bleeding started during a pub lunch with 3 couple friends. I was 5.5 weeks.
Exact same group of friends have arranged pub lunch for this Sunday - I will be 5.5 weeks.
We have not all had lunch together in between. I have not been pregnant in between.
Am I nuts to be considering saying we can't come?

You've all been busy today! I'm swamped at work, but need a time out of photoshop for a bit.

Karma and snowlet, I thought I started to get a bit of nausea today, too, but it didn't really hit. It was just a slight queasiness on the way in to work. Sorry you've been struck by it, and I hope it eases of soon.

Daisy, I hope you get 2-3 on your digi, but don't worry if it's still 1-2 (I stupidly wasted another test today and got another 2-3, even though it was 2-3 last Sunday and thought for sure it would be 3+ this morning!)

bludger, I hope it's nothing. If you've got no cramps try not to worry. If you find that an impossible task, then it really can't hurt to call your GP or midwife!

cheesy (and Norah), I've hadn't thought about private scans before, and even though I've never had a mc I think I'm stressing out about the possibility a ridiculous amount because of my sister's experience, so might consider calling that clinic if I'm still worried by next week..

Tiny, I am SO jealous of the organisation of your GP and midwife to get you those dates so quickly. I hope you get an early scan lined up just as quickly!

And welcome PJen!

I probably missed off loads of things that have been going on, though

Oh and welcome PJen sorry!!

Daisy I probably wouldn't go to lunch either!!!!

So I had my risk assessment in work and they said they would be taking me off shift work and nightshifts with immediate effect and going to be doing a 5 day week instead

Even though I'm only 4+3 they think its important I get sleep and rest and so does my doctor... And so do I! So I'm pleased with that!

Still don't know what to do about my hair appointment next week. Thinking I might just cancel it as I don't want to take any risks.... I don't knoooooow

Gilly, result! If I worked shifts I would be on that ASAP as well. Congrats on getting onto weekdays 9-5.

Daisy, I know it's silly, but I'd probably want to cancel the lunch, too. I would probably have to come up with a better reason than superstition, though, because H would think I was barmy.

Yup I'm pretty happy with it and they basically said I can be flexi as well and do 8-4, 9-5, 10-6 or even 11-7 depending on how I feel etc.

10-6 is good as I will avoid rush hour train services which (as you know wispa) are an absolute nightmare especially south eastern trains from hither green to London bridge!

Thanks to the girls who made me feel welcome! I have to warn you that I am a convicted chatter box!!!

Daisychain44, I wouldn't go! Too freaky!! Just say you feel too squeezy to master different smells in pub.
Gilly, that's awesome!

I said 10 mins ago that I don't have symptoms. Okay, i take it back. I have achy boobs, have been waking up between 3-5 AM every morning and then can't sleep, my nose picks up an odor form a kilometer away, and my boobs are already jumping out of my bra and are sore. I am only 5+4 today!!

I have an ultrasound booked for when I am 7 weeks. They gave me one because I have had so many miscarriages and they know I may go insane without one. I am thinking about pulling it ahead to 6 weeks as I am going mental.

Welcome PJ!!!!

Thanks for the link Norah, unfortunately im nowhere near London Will get on google to see what's available round here.

Daisy id probably not want to go as well and try to put it off a wk or something but dh would think I was crazy!

Welcome PJen

Good result Gilly!

Argh, okay, not complaining about nausea ever again, today it's gone away and now I feel worried that I feel fine!

This pregnancy lark is seriously enough to send ANY sane woman completely bonkers mental.

Welcome PJen and yay Gilly, result! x

Ah snow im sure its fine, probably comes and goes.

Just found somewhere in town that does an external scan from 7 wks for £59. I'm only 4+5 today so got 2 or 3 wks to wait anyway so will see how i feel nearer the time i think. Next step is to get 3+ on the digi next week anyway.

Hello! Can I join you? I am thousands of miles from home (on a work trip), got that feeling and POAS....faint (but definite) line. Oh my gosh - I am terrified! DC2....but even more terrified.

I haven't told DH. I told him about our first by skype......feels mean doing it twice!

Hi Nessie, welcome and congrats!

Welcome, Nessie!

Ugh, I was so hungry after work today that when I popped into Tesco I ended up buying a krispy kreme at the kiosk. So not the healthy pregnancy diet! And I'm already hungry again

Did I miss anyone?

Wow busy message day! Glad to hear others are having cramping on one side. Was just describing that to my DH.

Also I had my hair dyed last week when I was pregnant and didn't know it!

Thanks! I think my date is 13th June.

I felt so sick today - that is what prompted the test......Now I am just obsessing about all of things I have done over the past couple of weeks that I shouldn't have......alcohol, ibuprofen, etc etc.

Hi Wispa, mine is 13th June. I'm a bit worried about getting on the list, particularly as the due date for my AF is tomorrow!!!

For those of you who got your BFP before your missed period, did you get nervous on the day your period was due to arrive??
