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

Hello everyone, can someone add me to the list please, as I can't copy and paste on my phone?
EDD 14th October according to dates, not going to ring midwife for a few weeks yet I think, make sure it sticks!
I have 2 DDs already, DD1 is 10 and DD2 is 13 months.

Feeling vaguely queasy since yesterday. And spidey sense has begun, I was like a dog today saying I could smell petrol, it was the petrol can in the garden that DP uses for the law mower, hasn't been opened for three months!

Can I join in? I poas on Wednesday, had a faint line but af never arrived this week. If my dates are right I should be due 8th October, so only 4weeks at the moment. I feel like I'm hungover but I was in bed last night at 8 with my 2year old son watching planes (oh the joy!).

Time for an updated list with all the new people joining!

I have stupidly been googling pregnancy statistics for women of my age (42) and now have a LONG list of worries

Thanks officelady! Isn't the internet a nightmare, sometimes I wish we were born before the net when we could be blissfully unaware of all risks and statistics. The more mumsnet threads I read the more I see how common miscarriage is and it stops me from enjoying this time worrying about what will be. Must think positive, must think positive! How's everyone feeling today?

Oh and question.... Anyone else having creamy White CM and stabbing pains in boobs at five weeks?

Thanks for the updated list office lady.

Mrscaptain, you're not on the stats list? that you're the 7th too! Any others in here with an October birthday themselves? Mine's 9th October might end up with a very special birthday present! My son was due 23/3/12 but was born at 36+6 on 01/3/12 so am sort of expecting an early appearance with this one, though every pregnancy and every baby's different I suppose!
Yes Flip, that's us, moved from London to south coast, loving every minute! How about you? How is the US?
At talk of DTD! I'm tired, have crampy pains on and off. Need the loo more than I don't need it, sore boobs and very swollen, erm, bits.
So far my experience is exactly the same as my first pregnancy...we'll see!

Hey ladies, just checking in. Wow lots of new BFPs, congrats to you all.

I've got my booking in appointment on Tuesday, still quite shocked I got the appointment so soon. I've also booked a Babybond scan for 17th Feb,I'll only be 8 weeks then but I just want to make sure theres one in there as I had twins last time and they completely missed it on my 12 week scan, so didn't find out till I was 21 weeks. It was a big shock!!

Office lady I will be 40 when this ones born and I must admit to being a bit more concerned this time, googling defo doesn't help.

Statistics are scary, but they don't tell the whole picture. Step away from Google ladies!!!

I've noticed a change in cm too bumpfor. Tbh it freaks me out a bit! Funny how much I don't remember from last time. Or maybe it was different last time.

Feeling like I might want to hit the hay already. So tired all the time. Shame my toddler has other ideas!

Trouble, I don't have an October birthday but my D's was due 3 days before my birthday in Jan. While he would have been an awesome birthday present, I really didn't want to be giving birth on my birthday! This one would have to be pretty epicly late to arrive on my birthday so should be safe. Phew!

Sore boobs here but otherwise feeling normal. But I remember that was the same last time... Until the exhaustion & nausea hit at 8 weeks! So enjoying feeling normal while it lasts, and trying not to worry!

Thefourcees, I can't believe they missed twins! That must have been such a shock!

I need to phone the GP tomorrow to make my booking appointment. I have an underactive thyroid so will be under consultant care, and I'm not sure whether I need to have a blood test to check my thyroid levels sooner rather than later. My thyroid was normal with DS so this is new to me.

Not sure I will be with you much longer ladies, I just had a little pink smear when I wiped after going to loo. Fingers crossed it's just implantation bleeding!

Hi everyone joining tentatively. Have had Lots of bfp's since last Wednesday for dc2. due 7/10/14.

Also lots of doubt, af feels like it's coming all the time. Had h.g with ds from 6 wks till i went into labour. Would kill to get a reassuring case of it back now.

Just paranoid hopefully as only 4wks 5 days.

So far nothing like before when I had implantation as a sign. My legs are killing me though. Feel like thighs being rolled through a mangle!! Anyone else? Cm still dryish too. Please let this bfp stick.

FX for you Giraffe. It can be from all the extra blood being sent to your pelvic area, try to stay positive for now (if that's at all possible)
Bumpbang our son was born the day before DH's birthday so I feel happy that this one will be really near mine. Preferably not ON my birthday though!
Wow for missing twins Thefour! That would be a real shocker!

Welcome Pick! Another for the 7th! I'm having lots of AF type cramps but they come and go rather than build like AF. I had them with my son too, totally normal for lots of people so FX for you!

Evening ladies, and welcome to all the newbies!
Sorry to hear the bad news makesamess really hope you get your sticky bean soon x
Just to ease a few worries I've been having AF cramps since before I got my BFP, so almost 2 weeks now. Also DTD a couple of times, wasn't particularly in the mood but DH needed abit of love and attention!!
For my first midwife appointment on Griday as officially I'll be 8 weeks going by my LMP, however I'm pretty sure I'll only be 6 weeks by then.

Hang on in there giaraffeski as long as there are no cramps it could be anything! I wish I could fast forward four weeks I will feel better once I get to eight weeks I think. Going to ring doctor on Tuesday as won't have a chance tomorrow. I highly doubt I will see anyone until I'm eight plus weeks. I'm a little confused about all these scans, do some people get scanned before twelve weeks just due to availability or something?

I have over done it today. We have been building pine wardrobes all day today. I didnt do any of the lifting but I stil had to stop early because my.lower back was aching so.much! Will be heading to bed very soon, hoping to enjoy a good nights sleep!

Ooh,fingers crossed then as no cramps and no actual bleeding.
Weirdly, the other day, my friend returned all the maternity clothes I lent her. Maybe she knows something!

Hello everybody! I recognise lots of the names from the ttc January / February bus thread and it's lovely to see!

Only got my BFP yesterday after testing after AF was 3 days late so it is still early days. DC1 EDD 8th Oct (according to my own calculations)

Trying not to get too excited at this stage and not succeeding!

Welcome MrsF!
Well I'm still here, tiny bit of pink when I wipe still (TMI, sorry!) but still hoping implantation as normally I would have had full on bleeding by now if it was period.

That sounds positive Giraffe! Fingers crossed. I have had some cramping over night but no bleeding. I don't remember this with DS, but then I was about 6 weeks pregnant with DS by the time I found out. I remember that my boobs hurt & that I felt like my period was coming, but he was unplanned so I didn't put two and two together! So maybe I did have cramping & just can't remember, iyswim!

Welcome MrsF

I had unexplained painless spotting and bleeding with dc1 for the the first 17 weeks! Did nothing for my sanity but she is 5 years old now!

Over night I have had moderate stomach ache...I can't really call it cramping as it was continuously there all night! I barely slept a wink with worry! I think is may be caused by some prawns I ate yesterday but I don't know hope my.little bean is ok :(

Please can I be added! BFP on Saturday (2 different tests- I didn't believe the first!) and a ClearBlue digi yesterday! EDD 9 October. First cycle really trying and expected it to take months so feeling shocked, tearful, excited and scared at the moment.

Hello MrsB so this is where you dissapeared off to!

Sounds positive giraffe! Hope your little bean sticks.

Welcome mrsf, any symptoms yet?

I honestly feel like complete s**t. Feeling super sick ALL the time. Unbelievable wind...poor dh. Haha. All my favourite food tastes like crap. I didn't think all this started til further down the line? !?! Booking my appointment with the doctor today I think. Has anyone else seen their doctor yet? No idea what to expect at the first appointment!

Yay binks congratulations!!
