October 2014 - am I the first one here...?

[makesamesswhenstressed]

Just got 2 very very (very very very) faint lines. The magical due date doo-dah says 3rd Oct is the magic number. Who knows? It could all go tits up still, but if you, like me, suspect you might be in the early stages it would be nice to chat.

I'll start the list shall I?

MakesAMessWhenStressed DC2, EDD 3rd Oct

Hi girls can i join please? EDD probably 17 October, got my bfp on Saturday at 9dpo. first pregnancy. trying not to get excited as so early days.

Welcome neomamma!

Ak89 I'm a first timer! Just become an auntie though so am trying to get a little practise! X

Hey girls, I'm first timer as well. I was doing some googling last night and found out I'm only five weeks tomorrow not six weeks because of my long 35 day cycle so that put me into a bad mood and I was in a rage by time I went to bed haha.

I'm also a first timer!

Bumpforme - I'm 5 weeks tomorrow too. What would that make your due date? X

8th October apparently! I guess it does make sense because of longer cycle ovulation was later at 15th Jan. What about you?

I can see how being less pregnant would be annoying! According to NHS dd calculator, my shorter cycles mean an earlier date. I wonder if that's why my dates moved so much with my first, due 28th and born 20th!

Yes the midwife booking place suggested 8th October is my due date too - though if I assume my cycle is 29 days - which it was last month, it would make me the 9th. I will stick with 8th until any scans suggest different. (Really hope I get that far and sorry if that sounds pessimistic but I keep seeing all of the cases of chem pregnancies and mc on here so don't want to get too excited. DH doesn't even want to talk about it at this stage either for the same reason)

Hi all, just popping in briefly. I am staying away for a bit as the sad mc stories make me nervous and the first time around with ds i was blissfully unaware of any of this. I have my midwife apt at 9 weeks, so 3 and a bit weeks to go. I have not a single symptom, but I don't remember any the first time, so trying not to let that stress me out. Hope you are all ok. Sorry to Soph, hope that bleeding stops.

MrsF - 8 weeks is normal. I think cake said this all too. They don't see you earlier (unless of emergency or previous history) 'just in case'. There's nothing they can do/hear/feel really until that stage. It is a long wait (my first apt is at 9 weeks) but really just hang in there, look after yourself and it'll come round soon enough!

Hi ladies, tentatively joining as got my BFP last Friday which gives me an EDD of 3rd October so EDD buddies with one or two of you.... Got a 2.5 year old DS and had a missed mc before him hence my caution.

Like some of you also not in the tender flushes of youth (will be 40 in 19 days!) so desparately trying not to google pregnancy risks at 40+. Part of me is delighted to be pregnant again and can't quite still believe it !

Just rang to make a booking appointment here and the date I have is for when I will be 8 weeks...standard practice here I think too.. Also a teeny bit gutted that I have to stop the 5:2 which has become a way of eating over the last year and helped to lose all the baby weight from the last time...am embracing the size 10 jeans while I still can and assuring myself I will get back into them again..

Not to wish my life away but roll on that 12 week scan and yes I am also wishing for sickness to arrive- last time it kicked in at 7 weeks or so and lasted til 27 weeks..yuck...

Good luck everyone !

I'm due 7th October with number 3. Despite both DH and I planning this, I am feeling a completely mix of happiness, fear, anxiety, mainly to do with other people's reactions. Is anyone else expecting number 3? When do you plan on telling the other 2 and parents? I know MIL will be very excited but don't think mine will.

No other children, but we're planning on telling our parents next week - big weekend away with the in-laws and friends, lots of booze, I'm a big drinker normally, so PEOPLE WILL KNOW. This will be first grandchild for in-laws so I'm expected them to be super excited - I think my parents will be as well but they already have two so not quite the same

Hi everyone, can I join you? Got my bfp on Sunday and I'm very excited, although very scared something will go wrong. I don't really have any symptoms yet apart from feeling tired. I'm due around 5th Oct and I already have a 2 year old daughter. I won't attempt to add myself to the list as I'm on my phone, will add myself later unless anyone else beats me to it!

hefner DC2 EDD 5th Oct

Hi guys hope everyone is well today?
AK89 this is my first too, I have 5 neices and nephews though so I've had a bit of practice!

Symptoms are still making me feel rough as a badgers arse. I've been at work today but struggled as every few minutes I was trying to decide if I should be running upstairs to be sick. Is this right at onky 5 weeks? Im super exhausted too, only did a 9-3 shift and had plans of doing loads at home but here I am, flat out on the sofa!
Tmi I know but the bloating and wind is horrendous.... sorry.

Welcome all the newbies and congratulations on the bfp's let's hope we've all got sticky ones. I'm getting paranoid as I've got really achey legs and back today but I'm hoping it's just because my 2yo ds is ill and decided that being carried at all times is the only acceptable way to move. Other than that all seems well. I've been trying to remember how I felt at this point 2.5 years ago. I had a big job interview in the first 2 months and remember being ok then but had nausea almost constantly from 2-4 months.

Hey, spoke to doctor today she said she considers me six weeks so that's nice but it is very confusing! I would have thought having an extra week before ovulation just means your body has longer to prepare for the pregnancy not that I was one week less pregnant lol I think it's because they always assume everyone ovulates 14 days after last period which is never usually the case. I guess you never really know until the 12 week scan, surely some babies progress faster or slower than others as well just like us ovulating at different times in our cycle...anyway rant over! I find this all very fascinating lol

Bump I'm apparently already 7 +5 going by my last period! Got my first midwife appointment on Friday. Looking forward to it but a bit scary and real. Still no sickness but am feeling weird, eating more and getting belly ache strangeness if I haven't eaten

Hi can I tentatively join too? I have only the roughest of rough ideas off end due to no lmp (mc over the new year ), but based on dates of dtd along with a bfn on Fri followed by a bfp on Mon with a cb digi showing 2-3, I think I'm due on Oct 13th.

I already have 18mo ds. But he was born at 34+5 so I'm half expecting a September baby!

Oh and I've had sore boobs on and off with mild nausea and lots of burping. Also (tmi) slightly constipated with a bit of cm.

Welcome Annoyedbyalfiebear, your situation sounds confusing but congratulations!

Mundaycakes - how many weeks do you think you are then?

I think I'm 6 weeks Bump going by the BFNs I got before the BFP, however maybe I was a late show-er. Dr gave me an EDD of 19th September. My SIL gets married 27th Sept so FX I'll hold out until after then!!

It is confusing with different cycle lengths. I think I would be more like 7 weeks based on LMP, but I have long cycles and know roughly when I ovulated so I'm sure I'm only about 5 weeks. In my last pregnancy they ignored my usual cycle length and dated the pregnancy from LMP until the dating scan showed that I was 2 weeks behind (as I'd already told them!).

Welcome and congratulations to all the newbies! I called the GP this afternoon and have an appointment for midwifery referral on Monday afternoon. Ball is officially rolling!

Hello all newbies.

Annoyed My dates are a bit of guess work too, post-MC in October. No AF since. Going by 2-3 indicator in CB on Monday.

Tiger I am due number 3 as well. DS is 5 and DD is 4. Will be definitely waiting until after scan to tell them. Had considered taking them to 12 week scan last time, but with finding a MMC, SO glad I didn't. Visiting in-laws this weekend, thinking it is too soon to tell, but don't think they'll buy any excuse for me not drinking! As for other people's reactions, they can think what they like and have their own opinions, but it is a decision only for my family.

No symptoms here. V impatiently waiting...

TroubleandFyfe how funny -we're EDD buddies and (almost) birthday buddies (I'm 8th Oct). Thinking I might go early again though, got to 39 weeks last time...who knows...

I'm in my 6th week I think. Early losses have all been week 5 previously so I'm just going to let myself enjoy some optimism. Doesn't help me at all to be pessimistic, does it? Will self refer to midwife about 10 weeks in.

Full of symptoms -water retention, thirst, sore boobs, exhausted, spotty back, hungry all the time but with mild nausea and no idea what I'm hungry for, and generally scattier than usual. Despite my overall happiness at being upduffed again, I am going to be counting down the days till 16 weeks -I started to feel great at that point last time. Anything can happen, but nice to have something to aim for.

Would a kind person add me to the list please?
