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

this is a group for October people who have miscarriage issues, and might not want to scare everyone here who still has their bright eyed innocence (how I miss those days)

I shall flit around all other groups

Hello! AF not due till sunday but tested early as had a feeling!
Ds2 due 13 Oct.

makesamesswhenstressed · 30/01/2014 17:01

ow ow ow - getting sharp stabby pain sort of under ribs on one side - like a bad stitch. Pregnancy related or just a random pain that I'm being hypochondriacal about?

In other news DS just initiated a potty trip and did a little poo - even more impressive since it was a squitty teething poo, so harder to control. Clever boy - so glad he got the memo about being out of nappies before his baby brother or sister needs them!

MundayCakes85 · 30/01/2014 23:55

Just to make you all feel better my nipples are quite painful and pointy at the moment and apparently one is getting bigger?!? DH is so lovely pointing that out!

makesamesswhenstressed · 31/01/2014 00:01

hah - mine had to do the 'handful' test before he solemnly pronounced that yes, they were mahoosive. Thanks.

Hello everyone, can I join in please my due date of 5th October if I've worked it out correctly. First ever pregnancy so clueless but happy. Looking forward to chatting with other october girls :)

officelady · 31/01/2014 07:05

Morning fellow preggos! After my initial WTF .... WTAF Shock reaction of a BFP last week I have more or less processed the fact that I am currently with child.
I broke the news to dh last night - he took it fairly well, all things considered. We stupidly had a drunken shag without contraception over the New Year period and in all honesty both thought we would get away with it at our advanced age. How embarrassing to have to admit to that! I might have to tell people that it was a contraceptive failure instead Blush
Has anyone been to the doctors yet? I am wondering how long I can realistically put off going. I don't think I'm ready to admit to the outside world that I am up the duff Confused

BexBoo12 · 31/01/2014 09:00

Haha officelady I have to say your post made me LOL. I've just popped my head in from September thread to say hi. I'm guessing this was not planned then?! Xx

makesamesswhenstressed · 31/01/2014 10:04

I'm bleeding. Oh please no please no please no

Thefourcees · 31/01/2014 11:22

Just came on to see how everyones doing. Makes, hope everything is ok.

BexBoo12 · 31/01/2014 11:24

Aww makes, what kind of blood is it? Old brown ish blood is quite common. Fingers crossed everything is ok xxx

makesamesswhenstressed · 31/01/2014 11:30

Bright red. Stomach cramps, leg cramps, no more sore boobs.
Not much hope tbh.

Makesamess, how stressful Hmm. Take it easy and call your midwife. Thinking of you xo

Officelady, that's pretty funny! But don't worry what people think. They'll probably just assume you got broody again after all these years!

Am finding it surreal being pregnant again. We had IVF/ICSI to have DS, so this time 5 years ago was just setting off on that journey after years of ttc/worrying we'd never have kids. Now here I am pregnant with no 3 (and we only shagged once!).

Having had a mc at 7 weeks in between DS and DD am not wanting to tell family yet..but know I'll tell my mum and sis as soon as I call them!

Am visiting ireland with the kids (dh will stay here) in a few weeks - prospect of transatlantic travel alone with 2 smallies will now be even more 'fun' with early pregnancy knackeredness!

Foxinsticks, was it you who had wondered about telling your dad/your sis saying not to tell him (am on phone, so can't check back). I'd say tell him if you want to. He'd want to know if anything went wrong and he should also be able to share in the joy (and nerves!) of early pregnancy.

It's bloody freezing here in the States at the moment (am just outside NYC). Am sick of the sub zero temps and snow! Ready for spring to be sprung!

FlipFantasia · 31/01/2014 11:35

Makesamess just saw your latest post HmmHmm - call your midwife for advice and I'm keeping my fingers crossed xx

makesamesswhenstressed · 31/01/2014 11:53

Spoken to her. It's basically a wait and see job.

My whole body aches

OP posts:
FlipFantasia · 31/01/2014 12:05

Get your feet up then - movie day for your son and relaxing for you. Sending unMN hugs and hoping it's all fine.

makesamesswhenstressed · 31/01/2014 12:06

pretty much doing that. He got a bit upset when I was crying earlier, kept patting me and giving me kisses to make it better. Which made me cry more. Poor poppet.
