Due April 2007!!

[mammyjo]

Hi everyone. Its been a very long time since I have posted on mumsnet, but today I have found out that I am expecting baby number 2. My ds1 is just over three years old. Bit shocked to be having another baby but very pleased too.
It would be great to get a thread going as people join me with their April 2007 due dates!!
Very nervous as ds1 had group b strep and birth and was v poorly but forewarned is forearmed as they say!
Look forward to chatting with anyone who feels like posting!

bubblez - [[hugs]

Not much time to post (as always) - feeling sickie, yuk yuk yuk - craving hula hoops (ready salted), but none in the house and DD's asleep I NEED READY SALTED HULA HOOPS!!!* D'reckon Tesco would do an urgent delivery if I phoned them and begged???? "Take pity on a poor, sick, PG lady with two toddlers, stuck and alone in her house???"

Mmmmmmmmmmm........

Got to get on.......

Morning all!

Bucky - OMG!!! I cannot beleive what I have just read - I have EVERYTHING crossed for you my love - what an absolute hell you must be going through.

Happy Belated birthday to Hensden also.

I am SOOOOOOO tired...I could weep I feel so exhausted...in fact I am weeping at everything at the moment - I just get upset at everything...I went and had my hair cut last night and was really looking forward to some nice blonde highlights to cheer myself up as I have been feeling v frumpy. I always have colour on my hair and never have any probs (even in last pregnancy) but the highlights didn't work!? and I hate my cut I feel like someone has given me a bowl cut...I just got home and sobbed and sobbed. Of course got zero sympathy from DH (big pig H more like!) who mutttered something about "I should stop thinking the whole world is against me". I am so CROSS!!!!

I feel like I am doing quite well considering how stressed out I am and tired, getting up in the night at 4.30am with DH so he can sleep etc as well as being up countless times to pee and I don't even get a hug or any sympathy. He's also always in competition with me about being tired....as if no one could ever be as tired as him....is he growing a baby in him - NO so he can BOG OFF! - GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I'm sorry to rant but I really need to get it off my chest as I just feel like punching him.

Not at all like me - normally I let stuff like this wash over me but it must be the hormones cos I just feel like a wreck.

On the plus side - my fantastic mother has done some cleaning for me this morning whilst I was at work. I was so pleased as I just have no energy whatsoever plus the smells when cleaning make me vom....am sitting waiting for my fish fingers to cook - am having a fish finger sandwich for lunch - YUM!!

Sorry to go on and on I know we are all feeling rotten at times....8 weeks today - roll on 12!

Afternoon all...can't find salt and vin square crisps or pickled onion monster munch!Dp coming home today so am hoping he will find some on his way back.I know they do pickled onion monster munch in Ireland but i have never seen the s and v square crisps which i also need
Who would have thought it would come to this?
Today i am mainly eating grapes.
I hope you are ok Bubblez,it's very difficult for you,particularly as you need mucho support.I hope you have some good family and friends around.
I t must be hard for men to understand how crap we are feeling at this stage.Dp said he wouldn't mind experiencing the symptoms to see what it's like but would not like to give birth[laugh]
He went out of the room one evening leaving a chirpyish me watching x factor and then came back 5 mins later to see me sobbing like crazy because of a young girl on there who was singing for her mum who had died.I cry at everything.
Hope all is well for us today.

Men heh. Who'd have 'em! Sorry Bubblez and MIAM that you are having a tough time with dh/dp's.
They are not great are they - cannot understand how men and women stay together tbh!
To be fair, by dh has just been to see me with dd and we had lunch together which was lovely. Just what I needed as am feeling awful today.
Need to go, but big hugs to all. xx

I too send various hugs to those who need them. Honestly, at some men.

Nothing to report here: throwing up in the mornings now, still feeling sick all day, fat as a pig from all the carbs, worried all the time incase things won't be right - you all know the score.

I have never had Monster Munch, but now I want the squares as well... Cravings are very catching, aren't they?

Take care, ladies xx

Thank you all for your support and hugs

DP has apologised for his behaviour now so that's a start I supose.

MIAM - {{{hugs}}} to you too... Men!!

All this talk of s'n'v squares and pickled onion munster munch is making me want some too. I had a pickled onion yesterday ohhhhhhh it was lovely!

Hello everyone. Welcome to all the newcomers! Lovely news about your scan EllieMayW!

Buckyfans, couldnt believe your posts this week, has taken me a good while to catch up. Fingers crossed for you that all will be well xxx

Good Luck for your driving test CaptinDippy, I remember my test like it was yesterday (it was actually nearly 16 years ago)!!

Hope everyone is doing ok today. I have been in college today starting the final module of my degree course. I now have to start thinking about doing my dissertation due in at the beginning of next February. Not the best timing in the world but at least it will be over and done with before April!!

Hello everyone

Bucky - hope you are okay and hanging in there - still thinking of you x

Bubblez - blimey - big hugs & take care x

I am with you all on the crisps! esp in sandwiches. Have managed lunches this week but by the evening the ms is really bad and just want to go to bed. Slept for 12 hours last night!

Today have eaten 1 bowl cheerios, 2 slices toast, 3 cups tea, 2 choc bourbons, 3 rocky choc bars, 1 packet bacon crisps, fish chips and peas, cup coffee, 1 glass lucozade, 4 glasses water and will have cheese on toast for tea!

Have had a couple of glasses of lucozade this week - not sure if allowed it - makes me feel much better - any know if it is okay during pg?

I feel like things have ground to a halt - I hate the first trimester it is so hideous - supposed to be exiciting but just feel too awful to do anything and the weeks go so slowly. My scan is now in 10 days and seems a lifetime away... grumble grumble!

AND I know that they will put my dates back at the scan because I have long cycles - so it will be prolonged further...

DH has headache, backache etc - maybe he has come out in sympathy - just need him to feel sick... NOT ... I need him to look after the boys so I can stay in bed all weekend!

Oh I wish I felt like drinking wine...

Hi there

Bubblez - glad your DP has apologised, still now needs to show he's sorry enough to be different.
Big Hugs to you. I am 9+5 today and have also been feeling loads sicker this week - have actually been sick. Also getting a few crampy pains and whilst I am worried I try to tell myself that they are growing pains, stretching ligaments etc to put my mind at rest. As you say though stress doesn't help. Hope things get batter for you.

Bubbaloo - F cup wow! I don't need to worry yet then!

I craved fat coke when pregnant with ds1. Haven't wanted it so much this time, but do crave anything fizzy!
Everytime I look on here at the mention of S&V squares and pickled onion MM they make me want them more.

Cornflake - Lucozade deffo okay in pregnancy; when I was pregnant with DS, I had to drink a whole bottle of it before some diabetes trial (and I HATE lucozade!), so it must be fine. Unless you have diabetes, of course

Thanks Bugmum

dh come home poorly too - what a sorry sight we are! He has said two things to me 1) why didn't I park my car straight and 2)why haven't I loaded the dishwasher? You can imagine my answers!!!

CornflakeKid-I second the Lucazade.Infact when I was pg last year with Ds I had a very upset tummy early on(and have the same now too!),and mr Doctor actually suggested drinking lots of Lucazade,although he said it was the isotonic(sport variety) one that would be better.I don't like it,so I didn't bother and was fine a little while later.
I have eaten soooo much rubbish today,including 2 bags of monster munch,fizzy cola bottles and choc raisins-Will be good tomorrow.

Glad I'm not the only one on here eating rubbish

Feeling very virtuous right now as I've just come back from a looong walk and am eating special K (only as I have to go shopping this afternoon and have nothing else and the walk was only long cos we got lost!)

I can only echo Cornflake Kid's sentiments - the first trimester SUCKS! Even if it is a good excuse to eat crisps !

Got a scan date today - 5th October, which seems a looong way away. I don't want to wish the last days of summer away but I really want to see the baby so that it seems a bit more real IYSWIM.

DH has been dying of some kind of stomach bug - I've been very nice and haven't once said "Ha ha ha now you know how I've been feeling every day". I don't think they have a clue, though!

The DHs / DPs have it so lightly, so should just leave us to be hormonal and not get all upset when we are grumpy old bags. I snapped at my dh yesterday morning as I came down for breakfast and he'd polished off the only non-peanut cereal we had left in the house. He said he didn't realise I'm not supposed to eat peanuts FGS, good job I know what I'm supposed to be eating. I then proceeded to tell him he'd better not be late home as he needed to mow the grass, and for some reason that really upset him. He just doesn't appreciate that every little thing annoys me right now. Well, I have to make him suffer too in some small way.

haven't been on all week, been asleep all the time!
just caught up on posts, Bubblez, i know how difficult it can be and only you know whether he's truly sorry or not. just remember that whatever your situation there is help out there, you should never feel alone x
have just had to send dp out for pickled onion monster munch thanks to you lot!
not that he his dp at the mo but that's another, very long, story x
feeling sick is rapidly heading towards being sick. hating it.
Bucky, will be thinking of you for the next 2 weeks, must say you are amazingly brave x

MIAM We missed you. Hang in there, if Chantelle is anything to go by, brown is in at the mo , not that she is exactly a style icon. I know how you must feel though...and Doobydoo PMSL, I cried at the very same girl on X factor and also, and this is v. bad...I went to Lille and there was a charity run and a four-ish year old was running with his dad and I was sobbing. Not just the odd tear, like tears running down my face. How embarrassing. That was a couple of weeks ago and things are obviously worse not better at the moment .

Bubblez, OMG, I read you post. There is no doubt his behaviour was appalling and I am not making any excuses for him, the only thing I would say is parenting I am told is v. difficult. Maybe he is finding all the pressure difficult too, and is stressed and just flipped? Only you know the depth of the situation though. There may be more to it. Glad its getting a little better though.

Me, well, TMI ALERT, dc is getting worse but still not fresh blood and no pain, other than kind of a pressure. Trying not to think about it but freaked this morning and DH didn't know what to do with me. I have calmed down now though. I know that whatever is going to happen will happen whatever I do, but I wish i didn't have a bl**dy reminder (no pun intended) every time I went to the loo!! I am going even more mad. I can't go back to docs till Monday and feel a bit dumb going to hospital when there is obviously nothing they can do to prevent anything either. I just have to wait. . Sorry to make everyone glum...

On a lighter note. DH said he is going to sing all communication with me today and he is cracking me up. He sings everything like an irish folk song, even pop songs .

LOL @ your DH Bucky! Sorry that the D/C is still continuing Good that there's no fresh blood or anything though - I expect you are living on tenterhooks atm, poor thing. [hugs]

I am sorry about your PITA DP bubblez - glad he finally apologised - hope he improves his attitude / behaviour from now on - he was completely out of order! Grrrrr! I can't be too mean about my DH atm as he has just gone out to get me a MacDonalds and some Ready Salted Hula Hoops Soooo hungry and wanting to eat sooooo much crap - glad it isn't just me though!!!

I am so rubbish at keeping up with this thread!!

Need to loo / need to puke - so best go....

Being PG is just sooooo pleasant - Tra La La!!

NOT!!

Morning - feeling terrible this morning - stayed up til 11.30 for some unkown reason and watched the Charlotte Church Show - was so awful was quite funny...I am hoping that that is the intention!

DH has finally realised that I really do not want to go into the kitchen at all or go to the supermarket - hoorah at last! He is now in charge of food which is great.

Are some of us heading towards 12 weeks now? I am 9 weeks ish so will be quite envious of those who are!! I am going to have some kind of massage/treatment to treat myself as a reward for weeks of hell! and definitely a haircut and colour (wary of colour though lol)

Have a good weekend

Hi everyone,

I think I have posted on this thread before but I cant find the thing!

Am now 7 wks and due on 27th april 07. Had a scan yesterday and got to see the little beanies heart beating. It was amazing. Its so quick. 164 or 154 bpm I think from memory.

Even though it is still so early it was a huge relief just to know the baby was implanted in the right spot and that it was ok. He/she has a very long umbilical cord though!

Congratulations WABN!! Yey for your scan and the heartbeat!! I think my due date's going to be 26th April, so we'll be very close!! All the best ....

Just eaten my McDonalds - feeling stronger and not so yuk now!

Dippy... I LOVE Maccas, but unfortunately can not stand it at the moment. Its devestating!

Am craving chicken rolls from red rooster though.

The scan was great. The heart takes up most of the body at this early stage! It really does look like a jelly bean too!

DH kept asking when we would be able to find out the sex...lmao he is impatient!

Hi everyone! Great news about your scan WABN. I still have 2 weeks left til mine. Will be 11 weeks tomorrow but the ms is showing no signs of improving. Will keep hoping for a miracle at 12 weeks!!
Have been shopping this morning with ds for his school uniform as he starts nursery in just over a week. He is only 3, cant believe he is off to school already, bless him!!

Great news on the scan,WABN.Very though as my due date is also the 27th,but my scan seems ages away-10/10/06.

All the talk of Mcdonalds made me fancy on etoo-just sent Dh out to get a quarterpounder and fries.

My EDD is 26th April, and my scan 17th October, so I am also of those having lovely, good news scans (though pleased too, of course!)
