Hello!

So I'm actually due around 27th July but I went two weeks overdue with my first so I'm pretty sure this will be an August baby Smile

Is there anyone else who is newly pregnant and would like to join me?

Hi baggy Smile
I responded to your post on the July thread about feeling bloated and said I'm sure I already look about 5 months pg Confused I can't remember if the bloating eases or not? If not then I think it's going to be difficult to hide before much longer!

Hi all
I was previously on May2014 forum but unfortunately had a miscarriage and surprise surprise bfp again after waiting for 1 AF. I'm naturally a worrier so I'm quite worried it would happen again but I just have to be more relaxed I guess and fingers crossed for the best! Due date calendar says 28 Jul so hoping I could join u all.

baggyoldcow · 19/11/2013 09:47

Hi babymama - I know the feeling. I had a chemical last cycle so I'm pretty cautious now too, but I also know I'll start over-analysing the depth of colour / thickness of lines etc. and drive myself nuts that way.
Holly - will check out your response in July thread. I'm not sure the bloating eases, but the bump rather catches up, I seem to recall. Oh well.
Welcome Ally, sounds like we are in the same boat. I'm v. nervous too, but trying to be optimistic!

Hollyjokes · 19/11/2013 10:20

Baggy I'm not too worried about having a proper bump earlier than last time, in fact I'd prefer it so I actually look pregnant rather than I've just been eating too many pies Grin I'm hoping that it holds off a bit until after all the Xmas parties though as I don't really want to start telling people until Xmas at least.

Hi Ally and welcome. I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I really hope that everything goes well for you this time x

I'm happy to report a darker line this morning, and feeling very much nauseous before breakfast. I really had to force it down but felt a lot better after I'd eaten.
I'm a teacher, and am finding the extra wearing annoying. 6th form classes can be trusted and left, but by others not so much.

TheBookofRuth · 19/11/2013 19:06

Boak. Changing the devil's own nappy whilst dealing with nausea is NOT fun. Just nearly upchucked over my toddler!

Hi ladies. I'm going to join here is you don't mind. I am also on the July thread. My due date from LMP is 25th July but I know from ovulating on day 17 that due date is more like 28th July. This is my first baby and like some of you is my first pregnancy since miscarriage. I am shitting it! I keep running to the toilet to check knickers for bleeding.

Tested positive on Friday and have been testing daily since. The lines are getting darker, though still not as dark as I'd like them to be. Had some on/off rather painful cramps (some of which happened in tesco today and I thought I might just have to sit down in the middle of the aisle!), get full very quickly when eating and am currently extremely bloated after eating my tea (look a good few months preggers!)

funkymonk · 19/11/2013 21:07

What do you gals think about adding age and # of children next to names?? We may as well get to know each other seeing as we'll hopefully be spending the next 8 months together! xx

Aw don't be silly baggy! How old are your DC? And yours Dinky? I'm finding it hard just being a second timer - DD decided that 6.30am was play time and I am exhausted!

OP posts:
DinkyMole · 20/11/2013 08:38

Mine are 7&9 which are quite nice ages. Over the toddler style tantrums and not yet teens. My DSS are 4 and 3.

Hollyjokes · 20/11/2013 09:37

Aw lovely Dinky, I bet they will be so excited to get a new little brother or sister.

Argh my MW booking in confirmation letter has arrived in the post! It's all seeming a lot more real now!

mine are 6, 4 and just 3.

It's a big shift from one to two, but after that it's just such chaos you slacken off relax a bit Smile
