Hi,

Tentative post here - got 2 faint BFPs on Sun/Mon (period only due yesterday.
EDD seems to be between Feb 28 - March 1st depending on whether I use standard 28 day cycle or adjust to my 30 day one.
DC2 for me - DS was 8 days late so think I'm more likely to belong in the March club than Feb.

Will do another test in a couple of days to get the elusive dark line so I don't think I'm making it up

Hope someone else joins me soon.

Can you believe my manager just asked me if I’m pregnant again because she noticed I’m drinking a lot of water lately. I replied no and she said ‘good because your body needs time to heal, it’s too soon’. Why do people think they know better than the medical experts? Doesn’t she think I have read into everything and carefully considered it all? There is absolutely no evidence to say that you are more at risk of miscarriage if you get pregnant again quickly. In fact it is the opposite!

Dont worry P my boss was an inconsiderate tool when I told her (had to cos I took unwell in work and was obv) I'm back at work next week and I fully expect her to have found a reason to pay me off

I wish I hadn't told her about the miscarriage now but I needed to because obviously I wanted some time off. I feel like she will be judging me and blaming me if I have another one

Don't let her get to you, it'll just cause you un-needed stress, every1s always gonna have they're own bit to say and own opinion, your happy and that's all that matters, let her say whatever she's going to say, smile and let it brush over you

Wow what a great group there is now! So many people! I told my parents last night when they got back off holiday. My dad was happy but I had a huge horrible reaction from my mother. I don't really know why she was so nasty, but she was really horrible. We have great jobs, great house and get married in September, but been together 12.5 years! I don't understand what she has to be angry about! She was happy for my sisters but it appears not for me. Her reaction has upset me so much. Spent most of last night so upset we are off to tell oh's parents tonight, let's hope we get a better response from them.

Oh no bouncysky :( maybe she was just a little shocked and didn't mean to react how she did, hopefully she'll realise how nasty she was and apologise! My bf hasn't told his parents yet and wants to hold off longer......I don't think they'll react to well to the news :/

Thanks M27, need all the support I can get right now. I think oh's parents will be pleased. We wanted to hold off telling either set of parents until at least next week after our 8 week scan but I had to tell some people at work and they know my parents so I didn't want them to find out from anyone else. But now wish I hadn't told them. Woke up in middle of night with the most awful stomach cramps too. I think oh's parents will be pleased and my dad was happy!

Thanks everyone for your wishes.

It's been a very stressful morning, my mum said she could come and look after our toddler while we go to the EPAU which was great. Appointment was at 11.45, she phoned at 11.30 saying she was stuck in traffic so we had to get a very grumpy child up from his nap only 20 minutes in, and dash to the hospital hoping to meet her there. I ended up going in by myself whilst my husband waited with the toddler for mum to arrive. Sobbed on the EPAU nurse's shoulder. Got lost going back to the scan department from EPAU. Went in to be scanned alone, where they told me they can't see much apart from large cysts on my ovary, there is a sac there consistent with a 5 week pregnancy. Had to have a horrible internal scan, thankfully dh was there by this point. Going back in 10 days and hopefully will see a heartbeat then.

I feel like crap, it's boiling hot here, husband has to go to work soon and all I want to do is hide under the covers and cry.

You'll feel much more relieved tonight once you've told oh's parents and see that the majority of people are happy/supportive!

That sounds like an awfully stressful morning Appleby :/ think you need to put your feet up and try relax now, by the sounds of it you need it! Try not to worry and hopefully the next 10 fly in for you! Big hugs

Hello. Wondering if I can join you all. I've just read today's messages, hopefully I can stat to catch up from here. Sorry you have an inconsiderate boss P and inconsiderate Mum bouncesky. Appleby I hope that the next 10 days shoots by for you.

I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow, have an appointment at the docs for I think booking appointment on Monday and am hoping to get a scan before 12 weeks so that I can tell everyone on my birthday. Think I'm due 1st March.

Only me and Hubby know at the moment and its difficult to hide as I love a drink, and I love food usually, and at the moment all I can keep down is plain carbs and water. Not enjoying the nausea at all and hope in another 4 weeks it goes away.

Welcome butterpuff :) hopefully nausea passes for you soon and you can get back to eating normally again

Thanks M I have my fingers crossed, tomorrow I'm supposed to be on a corporate day, on a boat. Vomit ahoy.

apple that sounds ridiculously stressful, you poor thing. I hope the next 10 days go quick

bounce are you the youngest? I'm the only girl out of 4 children, and got a weird reaction from my mum last time - she couldn't get her head around the whole her baby having a baby thing. A much better reaction this time round thankfully.

And what a twatty boss - why do people think they can say things like that?!

Oh I feel for you :/ I get travel sick at the best of times but with my ds it was worse from about 8wks till about 20wks, it's already started kicking in! Do you normally travel well? Hopefully the waters calm so it won't be as bad for you

Normally travel fine, and I have no problems with boats at all. But I think the heat tomorrow, on deck, no shade and a buffet lunch that I may or may not be able to eat might prove a little much for me! Going to take a bag full of snacks and hide out in the loo.

It lasted till 20 weeks! I hope I don't go that long. I stated really getting the nausea at just over 5 weeks, so hopefully I'll start early and finish early. How far along are you?

Hopefully it won't be too bad, yeah a bag full of snacks sounds like a wise idea :)

MS disappeared about 11/12 weeks, was only when travelling it bothered me till 20wks, just walked whenever I could, had to get a bus to work but on dry days I got the bus half way and walked the rest :) gave me some extra exercise too

With DS my morning sickness was very sporadic but lasted from 7-20 weeks

Oh boo. 7-20! I've had enough at 8, it's been pretty full on, maybe I'll have the same number of days just compressed into a short period?! I can hope anyway.

Walking and exercise are good, I do around 3 miles a day or more, was hoping to loose some weight before I got Pg, I've now lost 5lb but not particularly pleased about it.

Is your boss usually a pain P or has she just got a bee in her bonnet?

I'm just thinking myself lucky that I'm not too bad, my friend I'd expecting just now and she's roughly 23/24 wks, she's been hospitalised 3times cos MS has been that bad, she's now on 22 tabs a day to control and luckily it's working so far

Now I feel like I am complaining. I hope your friend is coping ok, must be awful to be that ill for that amount of time. Really takes the shine off the excitement.

It was hard for her at 1st but now docs have it under control she's much better! And she's looking much better, she looked ill!

Aww your not complaining at all

I'm glad it went as well as it could, apple and that the next ten days fly by.

I do like the FB group idea. I did that last time with my ante-natal thread group, but the only problem with doing it this early is that we may lose a few people who don't fb, this thread will go very quiet and then any newbies who discover the thread later may miss out on joining the group. Just something to think about.

I'm going to hold off the fb group until it's common knowledge. I know I'm being ridiculously paranoid but as a teacher I come across hundreds of parents and there is always that small chance that there may be a link.
