Due in May 07

[jessinwa]

i can't believe that i am the first one due in may to post on mumsnet. i looked for a thread but i couldn't find it. am i missing something?

Mornin ALL!!!,i just really want a scan so i can actually see there really is a baby in there,im 6wks tomorrow and it already seems like ive been pg for ages, we found out 3 days before af was due, registered with the drs but dont get to see midwife till 12 wks, im going for a nuchal scan at 11-13 weeks ,because of my age just wanted to check,

I haven't posted in a while as a reminder - me 35, Dh 36 have one gorgeous DD aged 3.5 and am now 7+1 wks pg.

I booked a private early scan yesterday for next week when I will be 8+1. I had 3 MCs before my DD and am really anxious to get to 12wks and know that this pg is really going to be OK. I know if I see a heartbeat on the scan like I did with DD I will feel so much better it will worth the ££.

DD is so keen to have a little sister (will worry about it possibly being a brother later) and I would love to tell her we will have a baby next year but just can't at the moment. Roll on 12 weeks.....

we are paying for my nuchal scan and i want one of those 4d scans when im about 24 wks where you get the dvd etc as well.

intheseshoes, g&t, glad to hear some other people were scared at times! I was so excited at first, then horrified- it felt like going over top of a rollercoaster. And we had been trying forever! I remember crying and saying 'I dont want it, I was happy as I was' to my poor dp- I was very hormonally challenged at first tho.

I cant believe its still only 8 weeks. I feel like I have been pg forever...

Hello all!

The fear is just setting in for me. I was happy for the first two days, but I had to open my mouth and tell people. Now the fear is what if I lose the baby now, how do I face people? Sometimes I think that we were already blessed with one baby, it makes me think maybe it won't happen again. I think they are probably the normal fears that everyone has. I don't know why, but I'm more excited with this pregnancy than I was with my first. Has anyone else felt that way? Maybe it's because I know what to expect and am more relaxed. I'm only five weeks, but I am dying to find out. My sister in law and I have both had dreams that it was a girl and I only found out I was pg two days ago. Has anyone else had those types of dreams. With DS my sil had a dream we both had two boys playing together. Six months later I was PG with DS and three months after she was pg with her ds. Dreams like that are weird, but when they come true even weirder.

Hi all. Well im 5wks today, only another 35 to go or 245 days if you want to look at it like that (i think i prefer weeks it doesnt sound as long)
I am so tired at the moment. I went shopping this morning and since getting back all i have wanted to do is fall asleep. Its a shame ds2 no longer has naps in the afternoon otherwise i could have one with him.

Hi Ladies

We will definately find out the sex. We did with DS and would love to know this time. More so that i can start organising and start bonding as we can choose a name etc etc

Should have my scan in 4 weeks, just waiting for the date to come through.

Feeling like poo AGAIN today. Just cant shift this sick feeling. It is really starting to get me down. I just have to remember that it will all be worth it in the end.

I'm definitely not going to find out - I don't mind either way. Slept from 9.30pm until 6.45 am last night, but that and the abdo stretching still the only symptoms. Glad I'm not the only one feeling scared - worrying that we are upsetting our lovely life with DS, and also vague worries about the future. Think I am a bit more sorted in my mind now. I am the kind of person who likes stability and a "plan" and now I feel I have one. I am very excited about having a new baby, and I do feel more confident having had one already - the whole "I won't be able to do this" thing isn't so much of an issue this time.

It's funny hugging a secret to yourself too - I have told some people, I am working on the principle that if anything does go wrong (touch wood) then I will need those people's support. At work though, it isn't known, and it is hard keeping it quiet, especially as I teach primary school and our topic is babies!

DH is having a glass of red ( and we had a Sunday Times wine delivery today) and I feel a bit jealous!

May I join in?

I just did the test this afternoon and it came up positive. I'm still in a state of shock as although this certainly is welcomed and we were thinking about it in the next few months, we hadn't started officially "trying" yet. I'm tentitively going for ETD 19/5.
Here are my stats:
me 32
dh 40
ds1 15 months
I'm keeping fingers tightly crossed though as I lost 1st pgy to missed m/c. Not telling anyone in the RL. So, shhhhh......

Welcome jonahB and congratulations on your BFP, dont worry we wont tell anyone

Hi guys, can I join you? Just got a BFP this morning. DH and I were TTC for 7 months. I had been convinced AF was on its way again this month, but the test come up with 2 lines - and I'm soooo happy! Have a big grin on my face! EDD is 28th May.

Morning all,BIG CONGRATS to the newly pos mummies on here this morning WELL DONE, welcome to the boring bit before you get antenatal ,scans and bump bit,xx

Hi all,
Can I join too?Found out on Sunday was pg.Bit of a shocker as DD1 only 9mnths old.Still very early though trying not to think about it too much.Had missed m/c before had dd so a bit wary.

(Obviously I am failing on the 'not thinking about it' part..)

How soon do you go to the Dr to say you are pg?(Ws different with dd because of miscarriage before got early scans etc so went straight away)

Hello everyone - I haven't posted for about two weeks as been feeling crappy and really couldn't be bothered but I'm still around. Welcome to everyone new.

Had my booking in with my midwife on Monday and told her I wanted to give birth in the local maternity unit. She had to be a little err ... inventive with my BMI as it was just over 30 and has to be under 30 to be able to use the centre. She did say though we will have to watch the size of the baby and if it gets big may have to change plans.

All else is well just really knackered and nauseous all the time. Dreading the 12 week scan as that is when we found out about the previous missed mc in April this year but also want it over and done with.

Midwife confirmed EDD 3 May.

oh-have just read down a bit further-twelveyeargap-Def go UCLH if you can.I was at the Whittington for all of my antenatal, (we moved a month b4 dd was born) and it wasnt good at all.I used to come out more worried than when I went in, and im not sure thats the idea of antenatal care!
My friend was at UCHL at the same time and she practically wanted to move in she liked it so much!

Hi scootermum, I just booked in with the midwife for around 8 weeks even though I had a mc earlier this year. She was rather surprised when I turned up on Monday though as she hadn't had a referral from the GP. I told her thats coz I hadn't seen one!

SKYTVADDICT.I found out about my mc the same way so I too am dreading the scan.(beofre it is even booked)I had lots of early scans with dd1 though because of my miscarrige.One at 6 wks, I think one at 9, as well as then just the normal ones.Maybe your GP would refer you if you want it done quicker for reassurance sakes?

Hello everyone and huge congratulations to jonahb, scooter and cacaboo! U must be so pleased. This thread is huge, must have been nothing on the telly in august

Im having a better day than yest, had to pack myself of to bed at 830. Left the twins grumbling about mummy being tired all the time and why did that mean they had to go to bed earlier too! Had a headache and the nausea was just unrelenting. Luckily feel not too bad today.
It never ceases to amaze me how something the size of a bean can have such a dramatic effect on us ladies. I expect it to be growing at a rate of knots and be ready to be born in 4 weeks the way i feel.

Im in bed by that time anyway as have to be up at 6.30 to get baby up and dropped off and get to work by 9.(or more like 9.30 most mornings, tbh)Feel ok at the moment but dreading the tiredness kicking in.I will be in bed as soon as I get in at this rate.At least have my own office at work so might be able to chance a nap later on if it gets too much (all being well of course).

Glad to see ne people!

Dh is the best. I could probably sleep all day and he pretty much lets me. This past week I have been sleeping better than I ever have. Feeling pretty good. I've discovered that I have to exercise in the morning instead of the afternoon and that keeps away the nausea. I can't wait to make my first appointment with the midwife. I have to wait three weeks to go though. It's alright the longer I wait the more chance I have of hearing a heartbeat on the first visit. It's all going to seem more real then.

I just did a quick count and there are about 28 of us on here, i may have missed some, i had ds1 moaning in my ear when i was trying to count. I cant believe how big this thread has got. August was a very busy month

I have had quite a good day, yesterday i felt a bit nauseaus in the morning but after a couple of hours it wore off, today ive felt fine, hope it continues. Im still very tired. I normally sit up until about 1:30am when dh gets infrom work but last night i had to give in at about 11pm, i just couldnt stay awake any longer.

wow 28 thats alot of names to remember!
Am eating ginger yoghurt in an attempt to feel less sick, its not really working, may switch back to minstrels. Am shattered, have got 18mth old fast asleep in bed and 4 year old, 6 year old pretending but being quiet so im pretending i dont know shes pretending. Twins quiet too but that could be because mummy has turned in to banshee and they are scared to be noisy. Hormones definately raging.
Am thinking about asking for a private scan at 12 weeks as i dont get one here, dont know how much it will cost though, anyone know?

Evening all. Welcome newcomers! 28 is a lot!

Feeling fine, although had a wave of nausea at about 7pm, which was always the time with ds. Had nice bland chicken and rice for tea. Not having the "strechiness" tonight, but some back ache and abdo discomfort, which worried me earlier as I thought it might be my period arriving/early mc. I hate the worrying!!!

WOW 28 thats loads! Welcome to the newbies

Bought some ginger chewing gum off the net the other day. Tried it yesterday and i have to say that it is the most disgusting thing i have ever eaten! It was foul and made me feel worse.

Does anyone have a gut feeling as to what sex their bean may be...? I think i am having a girl. This pg is totally different to when pg with ds. I feel sick all day every day. My hair is lank and dull, where normally it is soft and shiny. I keep having dreams where i am using the name we like for a girl.... I guess i will just have to wait it out for another 12wks until my 20wk scan.

How are you other mums finding having to change nappies? I just cant face changing my Ds's dirty nappies, the smell just pushes me over the edge!!

Morning all,

Scooter/Sky - i'm in your camp, that's how I found out about the MC too. I'm dreading it!

I didn't realise I was getting any symptoms just yet, however, as a strange coincidence, I've noticed a funny smell every time I walk into my bedroom, which I have never noticed before. Bit scared to tell DH in case he looks at me with that "oh g-d, I've got nine months of this" face .

Still waiting for the nausea/tiredness to kick in. Reckon I've probably got a week to go tops

April, the bump HAS to be a girl. We had a list of one boy name, which we have now used with DS. So, if it is another DS, the poor blighter will be given a girls name anyway.
