[Spinningirl10]

I got my bfp this morning and calculator says due July 4th!!!

Wow, that seems ages away!!

Feeling quite scared....can't wait for this bus to fill up, can't party on my own!! xxx

Hi, may I join you ladies? I got my BFP last week finally after having symptoms for what seemed ages! This is DC2 for me,
I make my due date July 17th 2014 - that seems sooooo far away!

Congratulations everyone!

Wow, this thread moves fast! waves to all the new people (excited to see that lots have a similar due date of the 17th to me!)

It's so easy to worry... I'm veering constantly between being ridiculously excited to feeling pessimistic about future career to assuming I'm about to lose the baby because it just happened so quickly that surely it can't stick around, to getting random hormonal rage at DH for not buying bread... (seriously, it's like the worst PMT I have had in my life, and I've had fairly extreme PMT!). Good to know others are going through similar and I'm not just on my own little weird hormonal preggo island.

FiveLeaves and PigsInParis, I'm in a very similar boat - I'm a freelance contractor, and my next contract runs out at the end of March. I've calculated that (because I did a MA in the last 12 months and therefore didn't work very much) I need at least one more week of work to qualify for maternity allowance, so I hope I can get another contract lined up before having to go public... so much sympathies from me!

On the positive side, I'm hoping freelancing will at least give me a bit of flexibility as to when and how I go back to work. It all seems so far in the future right now... can't quite imagine it...

I am still slightly spotting, but it's very very light brown. Am trying not to worry as I guess if it does mean the worst, there's nothing much I can do about it - and I know that many people have said upthread that it's very common in early pregnancy for spotting to happen and it mean nothing untoward - thanks for the reassurance! I did yet another test yesterday morning and it got a lot darker, a lot quicker than previous ones, so I hope that's a good sign that my hormones are doing what they should be! (no idea if there's any actual science behind that, but I found it comforting!)

Sorry - that was a bit of a long post! TLDR: sympathies to all worriers, hang on in there!

Welcome strawberry! And congratulations! Some of us are having a bit of a paranoid wobble at the moment, but it looks like we've all made it through another day!

Lovely, I've woken up this morning with a headache. I usually take ibuprofen and the paracetamol is only just taking the edge off a little. And I don't think I'm going to get a full night's sleep for a long time! I even had to have a nana nap yesterday and I didn't do very much. Don't know how work's going to go this week!

I've found 4head a godsend. Paracetamol does nothing or me. But 4head has no application limits! (Though does make me smell a little odd!)

Well morning sickness has kicked in today. Nearly 7 weeks so aroun the same time as with ds. Lost my weetabix down the loo.

Oh well feel better now.

I've failed.....called in sick today. I feel so guilty.

Just pooping on to say good luck to Lady today for her scan:)

Made it about halfway through my breakfast! Sigh.

Good luck lady! Hope you feel better jaykay,

Oh yes good luck lady with the scan today!

jaykay sorry to what your feeling so bad. Is it nausea, sickness or just feeling rundown and terrible? Don't feel bad about taking the day off. It is always better to take time off then to go in feeling sick and then having to leave part way through the day or run yourself so down that you end up getting very ill. Hope you're feeling better soon!

nausea has just started for the first time really today. Feeling a little vague as well. Got a drama lesson today as well!

Wow this thread is filling up fast . Nice to see lots more July babies !!
Lovely to see some familiar faces from the November bus too !
I'm calling the doctors today hoping for an appointment today or tomorrow think that it will make it all seem very real. It's starting to sink in now that I'm a week late for AF can't believe that it's actually happening . I too am paranoid worrying what every ache and twinge is. I had period type pains for about 2 weeks but these seem to have gone now. I have very sore boobs( and I'm pretty sure they've grown ). I'm going to have to tell work this week too

5+2 and no morning sickness yet, but thank god I got some sleep last night, having had 3 nights of barely any sleep anymore. Cramps/rumbling-type feeling is still ongoing, and breasts suddenly quite sensitive (and nipples enlarged!). Have my next appointment at the doctors tomorrow - will be interesting to see what kind of things they ask/test/look into.

Had an industry event at the weekend and so hard not making it obvious by not drinking. Said yes to champagne circulating, then would move groups and set my glass down, 'accidentally' forgetting it before moving into next group!

Reassuring to hear others are in the same paranoid state as me. Trying to keep excitement contained for the next few weeks until scan. I think we'll do one at about 8/9 weeks, just to reassure.

This thread does move so fast! Congrats to all the newcomers!

Day 1 of morning sickness for me- just about made it to the sink before chucking up breakfast! Paid to get a cab into work rather than the 30min walk- I remember last time I had morning sickness I was stopping to puke behind bushes on my way in all the time!!

Hi, can I join? Just got BFP, due 20 th July . I can't decide whether I m happy or terrified as it's my third, I ve got a 6yr old and a 12 month old, a bit worried about what I ve done. But it seemed like a good idea at the time! I m 36, thought atmy age it would take forever, not happen on first bloody go.

Looking forward to getting to know you all though x

Just called doctors and told the receptionist that I had a positive test last week asked if I needed to see the dr or midwife . She said the midwife is at the surgery on Friday for booking in and booked me an appointment . Is this too early I will only be 5 +5?? Just worried do g want to go along and look like a fool and be told to come back in a few weeks?!

dollydaydream27 - I'm 5+2 and the doctor booked me in last week when I went for an appointment with the midwife tomorrow, so we're in the same boat (which hopefully means that's good!). (Went to doctor to confirm pregnancy last Friday.)

Ugggghhh i cannot stop being sick, up during the night vomiting and retching all morning until i eat then throw up!! Ive tried all the tips rich teas, flat 7up, mints, dry toast i have no energy and feel like utter shit. Anyone else this bad? Midwife told ne on Friday that its just part of pregnancy, i never had anything this bad with my dd!!!

Had my scan, one healthy little bean with a strong heartbeat . Measuring a little ahead of where I thought (7+4) so now due 26th June. But the measurements are so tiny at this point could easily be a couple of days either way.

Very, very relieved. Had a cry as soon as we saw the heartbeat.

Welcome to all the newbies!

Ah lemon glad to know we are in same boat will you let me know tomorrow what midwife says ? It's just from looking on Internet it says you don't see midwife until 8-12 weeks I'm happy to get the ball rolling to be honest just don't want to get turned away. I haven't seen gp .

I would think it's fine, Dolly. Usually they are so over-stretched they can't fit you in until later but they've obviously got a window! The other reason they wait until later is to make sure it's a sticky one as sadly so many pregnancies are lost early on and from NHS point of view, no point booking until it's a sure thing. But I can't imagine they'd tell you to come back!

Hi ladies, not read back yet, have just booked my booking appt and it's on the 28th November, apparently I don't see the dr here first, odd bit suits me!!

You don't see the Dr here either (unless you want to). They don't do anything but advise you about folic acid and stuff which is easy information to find out. And they just take your word that you're pregnant so bit pointless. GP's generally not involved with pregnancy care at all, certainly not in my area.

Same as me then choccy . It suits me too ! I just hope the receptionist hasn't got it wrong as mine is 2 weeks before yours .
I understand that it's due to so many miscarriages early on in first trimester that's what worries me . Oh well I will go along anyway ....

I wouldn't worry dolly. Mine isn't for three weeks...but that was the earliest space the mw had.
