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....

No, it's a completely secret group. No one will know you join. My Feb 12 group is secret as well.

Cybercat · 11/10/2013 20:47

Thank you x

TinyTear · 11/10/2013 20:49

Welcome Cyber. What a saga but yay for a heartbeat.

seatfor5 · 11/10/2013 20:59

Goodness Cyber what a nightmare! i hope your going for a full refund on the private scan!! I have only just joined as well :)

SparklyMasterMummy · 11/10/2013 21:25

Hi all,

Can I please join! I found out this week that I am pregnant with number 2 and am now 6 +4. Our DD is almost 3, plus I'm studying for my masters and working part time, and will be starting a new job in 2 weeks, eeek! Me and DH have only told his mum and dad and my mum yet, dying to tell everyone else and it's so hard to not let it slip!

littlepickly · 12/10/2013 07:41

Hi all,

Just checking into say I'm still here and reading the thread with much interest but haven't found time to post!!

DH has just been away for work all week and will be again as of Monday so I'm having a well earned cup of tea in bed this morning whilst he plays with DD Smile

I still haven't phoned mw yet but am planning on doing that this week, I think she then phones back to arrange booking in appt at home which is quite nice and then she will organise paperwork for scan.

As for symptoms I have been feeling ok so far but I'm only just 5 weeks - I have been feeling a bit more tired than normal but my main thing is that I feel very short tempered Blush
I remember feeling like I was hungover last time around (that's the only way I can describe it) for a fair few weeks with DD and the only way to feel better was to eat Smile but I'm really hoping the nausea stays away as I hate fighting the urge to gag!!

We're planning on telling parents and close family this weekend and for some reason I feel strangely nervous - my bro and sil have recently announced they are expecting number 2 as well so our dates will probably be only a week apart which is really nice.

Wishing you all a wonderful relaxing weekend and I promise to post more regularly from now on Grin xx

wispaxmas · 12/10/2013 09:15

Wow, cyber, how ridiculous, I do hope you ask for money back on the private scan!

And don't be intimidated by us, we are a lovely bunch, if I do say so myself.

Sparkly, I'm 6+4 today as well Smile. Still no sickness or anything, though...

About that Facebook group... There is one woman on there who really winds me up, and she posts constantly!! I'm not sure I'll be able to stick it out on there, but I do find Facebook for convenient.

Is there anyone able to update our list of June mums to be? I'm on the iPad, and not sure if I'll get a chance to get out the laptop today!

Thanks lots!

NessieMcFessie · 12/10/2013 11:23

Wow cyber what a story! How could they get it so wrong? I am so glad that you managed to get it spotted! It must have been lovely to see that little heartbeat!

I was going to wait for a couple of weeks to go for a scan, but am rethinking now. I am going on holiday in a week, so maybe it is better to go before.

Is it wrong that one of my overwhelming emotions is just really really worried about DD!? I know how good a sibling will be for her, but I am so scared of messing up her little world - even though this baby is very very very much wanted and loved. Does anyone else on number 2 feel like that?

TinyTear · 12/10/2013 11:25

Done Mrs MLB

Nessie i know, my daughter is 20 months old and after 3 mc she is my everything, and I am scared if I can love someone so much... but the way she points at babies I think she will be happy with a sibling

littlepickly · 12/10/2013 11:34

Nessie yeah I have thought the same thing too about my DD but she is so loving and caring with other babies that I think she will make a great big sister.

She has had so much attention tho so I think there may be some bumps in the road but it'll just be a learning curve I suppose.

A bit selfishly I'm more worried about how I'll cope with two Blush

IBelieveInEngels · 12/10/2013 12:10

Welcome sparkly and pickly. I'm engels. This is DC2 for me and I live in the Netherlands (but a Kentish girl at heart Grin )

little pickly I am also more worried about how I'll cope then how DS will cope! He's next week so will be 2.8 when DC2 arrives. he's been such an easy child that I think he'll just roll with it I have now cursed myself by saying it so you can all remind me of that comment next year

One of my colleagues gave me a stack of English and Dutch books last week (all her DC are at school now) and which was the one DS decided to give to his GF when he popped round today? "Lola and the new baby" (and in Dutch as well so opa could understand it). It's like DS knows already!

We've decided to tell my parents and siblings the weekend before our scan as we are in the UK then and always nice to tell them in person. Will have scan Monday morning and then tell ILs when we get back from that.

I won't join that fb group for now tiny. Would rather keep all my thoughts in the same place! And perhaps once June rolls round we can set up our own fb group for pictures etc. I was looking through old threads for my other MN group for DS and it's amazing how many people have stuck around!

wispa I'll have a bash at updating the list in a minute when I've put DS to bed (cos the little blighter is currently crawling all over me!)

adaloveslace · 12/10/2013 12:38

Wow cyber, what a horrible stressful palaver for you. I really hope it all goes smoothly from here. Look after yourself for the next couple of weeks.

My DS did something similar to us - didn't show up for his '8 wk' dating scan, went back a week later, and he was there, little heartbeat pulsing away, but measuring 7 weeks. He then went on to arrive 6 weeks early weighing the same as a baby who'd been born 8 weeks early, so I guess he just likes to create a bit of drama. Actually, now he's five, and there's no guessing about it....lucky we love him and all his little dramas to bits.

Anyway, welcome cyber, sparkly and pickly and anyone I missed.

Nessie, I remember clearly worrying so much about robbing DD of her babyhood - she was just 18 months when DS arrived. But he enriched her life immediately (she LOVED being a big sister) and they adore one another. I also worried about whether I'd ever be able to love another child like I loved my first, but my heart opened up instantly with a huge big DS-shaped hole I'd never noticed was there.

Weirdly, the day after I discovered I was pregnant last week, we were all having dinner and DS (5) asked me out of the blue "wouldn't you like to have three children mummy? Because I'd really, really like a brother." DH and I almost choked on our food. There is no way he overheard anything and he's never said anything like that before. He can be very intuitive though. Sage little DD (7) said "I think that would be too much work for you Mum." So that's me told.

I've booked in to see a GP on Monday and got an appointment with a very well-recommended obstetrician here for my 8 week scan on Hallowe'en, which is no mean feat as the first guy I tried is already booked out for June! Just need to book a hospital now. It's so hard to get my head around an entirely different system. I have made friends with a nurse in one of the best private hospitals and confided in her about the pregnancy, and she's been giving me a good steer.

Sorry for the essay - I write for a living so will have to actively curtail my word counts here....

wispas say hi to Paris for me. What arrondissement are you in?

Cybercat · 12/10/2013 16:12

Thank you to everyone for making me feel so welcome. Have decided to tart myself between the Maybies & you ladies. I have had an apology by email and assurance that an investigation is being carried out but I will be asking for a refund.

Nessie friends of ours are expecting their second child, DD1 is still a toddler and they have found out the gender so they can start getting her excited about being a big sister. It will be fine x

pomdereplay · 12/10/2013 16:45

wispa I bet the woman on the FB group who irritates you is the same one I can't stand. Will either have to block her or keep group at arm's length to be honest!

SO behind on this thread. Still feeling vile too, and quite pessimistic about the chances of this pregnancy today. Doesn't help that I can't date it accurately as my periods were so irregular. If this little one doesn't survive I won't be trying again. DP is booked for a vasectomy on the 28th anyway!

And on THAT happy note... How is everybody this weekend? I need catching up on you all!

TinyTear · 12/10/2013 16:51

She annoys me as well. And now twins... She acts like a know it all.

A MN June fb group would be great.

TinyTear · 12/10/2013 16:52

Pom are you a amethyst as well ?

pomdereplay · 12/10/2013 17:32

Yes I am Tiny Wink. Hope you're keeping well, I keep meaning to catch up with you!

TinyTear · 12/10/2013 17:41

Ah ha! Fancy seeing you here Grin

Snowlet · 12/10/2013 17:47

ARGH! I can't keep up with this thread, it moves so fast! but I've come here basically to moan.... is anyone else just feeling incredibly out of sorts? The hormones make me feel 60 different things in as many minutes and I just want to scream! This had better be a phase.... I think I'd rather have the pukey nausea all day than this feeling like my head is about to explode

Anyway, moan over, welcome to the newcomers and congratulations :)

TinyTear · 12/10/2013 18:48

Ahgh complaining about the amount of blooming foof snot (apologies for the mental image)

today had to keep running to the toilets when out as I was convinced I had started bleeding... totally paranoid!

IBelieveInEngels · 12/10/2013 18:57

Snowlet I have been a raging tigress today, biting DH's head off notvthat he didn't deserve it

I want to join the FB page just to see this lady lol!

TinyTear · 12/10/2013 19:11

ahahah Seat, she:

  • thinks breastfeeding past 6 or 7 months is 'abnormal'
  • thinks the flu jabs are evil and people didn't die from flu
  • was really insensitive to someone who had a mc after the jab saying that yes, the jab probably caused it
  • and is just 25 and has no children but sounds like she knows it all...
  • she discovered this morning she is having twins, so I can expect no end of posts Wink

was this it pom and wispa and squiglett? I kind of skim though her posts now...
