Hello! Got my BFP 15 minutes ago and only on CD27 so anything could happen, but couldn't miss the opportunity to start an ante-natal thread.

Stats:

Me: 30
DH: 33
Estimated due-date: 7th March 2007.

Hope I'll have more joining me very soon

Jaysfirst · 11/07/2006 11:09

Shit poppet, i am so sorry for you. Sometimes life throws these unexplicable events at us, we dont understand them or even agree with them but i always say that things happen for a reason. I feel for your loss right now and hope that the future is kinder to you. Try and stay positive babe.

Hi to everyone else, now let me see if i can remember everyone; Boo, pinkranger, magpie,mum2oliver, welcome trace,leo,hopecat,charmed, chacha ( if your reading this thread) barefeet and stretchmarks.....did i miss anyone???

How is everyone today? i STILL dont feel like i am pregnant, might have to do another test.....!!!!

Jaysecond · 11/07/2006 11:22

Thought this nick was more appropriate! Where is everyone? Are you at work? are there any mums to be at home?

1973magpie · 11/07/2006 12:13

Poppet, just read this, so sorry to hear your news, wishing you all the best for the future

Hi Jays, I am at work, so just popping in briefly to say hello , still managed not to tell anyone other than dh... but it's hard

I'm suffering with the 'not feeling like I'm pregnant' feeling too, so can't help worrying as last time I felt so sick right from the start - maybe it means that this time it'll be a boy..

Booboobedoo · 11/07/2006 12:25

Hi Jay & magpie - & welcome Trace

BTW - Me & hopecat are one and the same - I chnged my name once I started this thread.

I'm working from home until later this afternoon. Well, I say that, but actually all I've been able to do this morning is sit with my eyes shut sipping ginger beer.

I know it must be a worry not feeling PG, but I could do with feeling a little less PG right now.

Trace - so glad you're here. Here's to a happy, healthy (and NOT pukey) 9 months.

1973magpie · 11/07/2006 12:28

Trace, please do join us, we are a very friendly lot

I have been a MN lurker for some time and have seen some of your previous posts about ttc-ing, and so am very pleased to be the first to welcome you to the March thread and congratulate you!! Have you added you stats to the march thread too?

Hi to everyone - Jaysecond, Boo, pinkranger, mum2oliver, trace, leo, hopecat, charmed, chacha, barefeet and stretchmarks.....did i miss anyone either???

Booboobedoo · 11/07/2006 12:54

Hey guys, just to reiterate:

I AM HOPECAT! (in manner of Spartacus).

Changed my name in honour of getting knocked up.

Jaysecond · 11/07/2006 14:10

doh, sorry boo, i did atually know that, but for some reason added in 'hopecat' id.......hey maybe my preggers mush mind has started already!!

1973magpie · 11/07/2006 14:25

Sorry Boo, I didn't realise that - but should have done as I have read the thread!! I think I must be getting a mushy brain too

Jaysecond · 11/07/2006 14:26

so magpie what do you do, and you boo, nce to be able to work from home....what do you do to?

trace2 · 11/07/2006 14:32

thank you for the welcome ladies its great to be here,

hopecat i didnt know you had changed your name!

magpie, thank you, i will add asap

1973magpie · 11/07/2006 14:53

Jays, I am an Environmental Advisor, I am lucky to be able to work from home sometimes as well, wish I was today as I am feeling very vacant and tired

Hope my ablity to think improves soon, I am really struggling today, and I'm only 3+5 (early ovulation!) If things don't improve soon I will have to tell them - or they will think I've had a lobotomy!!

What do you do Jays?

trace2 · 11/07/2006 15:14

posted my stats

leogaela · 11/07/2006 15:21

Oh, no, too much to read and cathc up on right now! Looking forward to having some time to read all this later!

Feeling good - much better than this time with the last pregnancy. I think DH is suffering with the symptons instead though!

Jaysecond · 11/07/2006 15:23

oh Trace, another lady with a toyboy!! good going! big gap there between children, but it has to work in your favour, babysitter on hand!

Magpie, an Environmental Advisor, sounds like fun....quite a wide job title, do you specify in one particular area? I am still on Maternity leave from my job, havnt told them yet, due to go back in November, but i cant see it happening to be honest! I have a whole heap of leagalities to sort out e maternity and sick and pay and holidays etc etc, not looking foward to it TBH, but it has to be done soon!

1973magpie · 11/07/2006 16:50

Hi again, I specialise in the construction sector, don't want to be too specific as there aren't too many of us

I am not looking forward to letting them know at work either as I work in a very male-dominated business (and I am unusual being here at all in this company, even in this day and age!!)

What did you do pre- maternity leave Jays?

wheelybug · 11/07/2006 18:23

Hi All ! Can I join in please ? I used to be on mumsnet under a different name, then thought I'd weaned myself off but think I may get sucked back in again now !!

Finally got a definite BFP this morning after a faint positive on sunday and a test that didn't work in between ! Think I am due about 15 March but will probably go to the doctors on thursday.

Am a bit shocked - we were very lucky (and I know some of you have been trying a while so realise just how lucky we are) to conceive without trying very hard. We had intended to really start trying this month so was a slight surprise.

I have a dd who is almost 18 months. I got really emotional this morning about her and how it wasn't fair on her even though I know she will love having a brother or sister - pregnant and hormonal ? me?

Am a bit nervous posting on here so early - I didn't join my antenatal club with dd until I'd had my 12 week scan but then that was my first MN post.... and it'll be nice to talk to people about it !

Sorry things didn't work out for you this time thankyoupoppet...

Jaysecond · 11/07/2006 19:15

Welcome Wheelybug,wow we are certainly growing, not just in our tums but in numbers on here too! I know what you mean Wheely about posting early, i am very dubious and i know that this is the most delicate time, i am sending out the best positive vibes to everyone at the moment, wishing us all well through the first 12 weeks! I know what you mean about , pregnant and hormonal..... i have been really moody today, especially at DH and he hasnt done anything! maybe i am starting to have some symptons!
Magpie, good on you gal, a rose among many thorns i am sure. Why should we feel awkward/worried/apprehensive about telling work, its silly because we have rights, but theres always some niggling doubts arent there. Pre maternity i was a Probation officer, not very glamorous and tough going sometimes especially yhe commuting to the City. I was signd off of work at about 20 weeks last time as i suffered REALLY bad with SPD Am hoping that it stays away this time, i had a really hard time with it. Time will tell, and i am sure i will share with everyone as time goes by if i do start to suffer. As it is now i also suffer with a bad back ( had a disc removed about 9 yrs ago) and afer the birth i had excruciating sciatica. Have an appointment on Friday with the surgeon at the Hospital, they want to do a MRI scan and take things from there. They dont know yet i am pregnant... things may have to go o hold!!!!

Sorrry to have gone on and on and on... but that was the shortest eay of letting you know something about me...!!! i' not that bad , honest!!

trace2 · 11/07/2006 19:23

Jaysecond , i too also suffered SPD, i too am hoping it stays away.

just been in bath and found my(.)(.) are killing me

Jaysecond · 11/07/2006 19:56

hope my (.)(.) dont grow as much as last time...... (o)(o)...they are big enough when i am not pregnant!!!
I had really sore boobs first time round, but then i found out a bit later, about 6-7 weeks. I still have no real symptons.....lol when something happens i will be shouting it from the lampshades

leogaela · 11/07/2006 20:05

just added my stats.

Wow, so many of us here already!

Magpie if it helps ease the worry about work at all, i also work in totally male office. I was pleasantly surprised by everyones reactions when I was pregnant with DS. The dads are very considerate and understanding and those that aren't dads either tell me how they can't wait to be dads or are totally in awe of the whole thing. Maybe I've been lucky (I live in Zurich so maybe the culture is different), but you are already a novelty being a woman, and being pregnant makes you even more of a novelty somehow.

So far I'm feeling good, the odd waves of nausea, I'm a little more tired than usual and my boobs are not sore but a bit bigger than usual, but so far its nothing like as bad as I remember it to be with DS. I really hope it stays that way!

leogaela · 11/07/2006 20:07

Jaysecond - i went from a pre-pregancy 34C to a BF 34F! the selection of underwear here is very limited, I was in tears in the underwear department trying to find something to fit me!

Jaysecond · 11/07/2006 20:23

its a pain in the neck, back and shoulders leo...i am a 40 DD went up to 44 G.......no nice bras for me either!

Jaysecond · 12/07/2006 09:15

morning all, how are we feeling? Boo hows that morning sickness? DH is away today tonight and tomorrow, with work so DD and i are having a girlie time, which actually doesnt consist of anything different from the norm, but it sounds good! Going to an NCT 50 tparty this afternoon, meeting up with the girls from my previous antenatel class, is going to be soooooo hard not to blurt it out, but i mustnt! Hope you all have a wicked day!
