Due March 2015? Sign in here!

[NotAQueef]

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.

QQ: is anyone else trying to eat themselves out of house and home. I seem to be constantly hungry and eating loads of fruit and cheese just as something to snack on to stop me feeling ewky but then cannot face a proper meal

Congrats to everyone here!

First Gp appointment today in an hour. Got my positives yesterday, confirmed by nurse. Est dd is 14th march on nhs calculator. So excited! We've been trying for nearly a year and it's our first!

Also very nervous as have miscarried two babies when younger before I met my husband so really want to get past 14 weeks. Read that positivity can help though so I'm throwing jinxing out the window and posting here for moral support and a good old chit chat with mumsnetters. We are waiting to tell most people though.

"QQ: is anyone else trying to eat themselves out of house and home."

Not me! I'm too queasy to eat anything much. Certainly can't face food in the morning. Afternoon and evening I can handle something- but nothing too rich.

This is par for the course for me. Last pregnancy I did the first trimester on nothing but melon and chocolate milkshake.
Don't think I could handle the milkshake this time round tbh!

Hey ladies.

Been lurking for about a week now. Read through the whole thread from start to finish so thought I had best pluck up the courage to post, say hello and ask if I can join you all.

A little about me.

I am 5 weeks today and this is my 4th child which is due March 19th but will be my partners first.

I have a DD 21 and 2 x DS 13 and 8.

I live in Portsmouth and am 41 in October, thought it was going to take ages to get pregnant as it took me nearly 5 years with my last son (different partner) but got my BFP on cycle 3!

Am due to get married in September so hoping I can still fit in my dress but suffering some pretty bad bloat so will have to see.

Absolutely scared stiff something is going to go wrong but sounds like something everyone goes through. Had a few days of brown spotting and absolutely zero symptoms other than nausea on 8 and 9dpo which made me test which is adding to my worrying.

Look forward to following everyone's journey, getting to know everyone and making new friends

butterpuff generally we get on very well. I think it's probably misguided concern but it did annoy me a bit that she thought it was her place to comment on it.

I'm round my parents after work, they are supposed to be cooking me a nice dinner. Can't stay too late though because DS has nursery in the morning so he needs a bath and early night tonight.

Welcome to the newbies

Your probably right, misguided concern Persepolis just had a friend with her first baby six weeks upset that a total stranger was questioning how she was protecting the baby from the sun. Really upset her, but I'm sure the woman was just trying to be helpful. When its not helpful the good sentiment is kind of lost though isn't it.

olive I want to eat all day long. But only two mouthfuls of very plain boring food. Any more than that and I heave, any less and I heave!

Yay, half a day and I'm no longer the newest newbie!

I've started feeling a bit... queer... today. Not properly sick, but heartburny and a strange lump in my throat. My lovely MW friend said carbs is the only thing that will keep nausea at bay, so there you go ladies - permission to graze on biscuits and toast all day long.

I properly broke down in tears today because I was so hot and had walked to the swimming pool with DS, only to find they'd just let a school party in and had closed their doors so we had to walk all the way back in the heat. DS was absolutely gorgeous about it though, kissing and cuddling me until I felt better

I know what you mean eatscake but I do t mean having fb instead of this, just having it running alongside :)

I thought I had slightly sore boobs until I lifted next door neighbour's 18 month old son (she has the cutest twins) for a cuddle earlier and oh my the pain! Makes me feel good though, like everything is ticking along nicely....

I haven't found myself to be over emotional (I'm not usually anyway) but I did cry when I watched Monuments Men the other day. (mediocre film).

Oh dear we're all feeling it :( Commiserations to all of us!

I generally eat a very low carb diet but carbs ARE the only thing that helps. Last time I got horrific heartburn.

Hi to all the new people!

Hi all

Can I join? We've been trying for 20months for our first and got our BFP on Saturday. In total shock but the over the moon. I'm all about the positive and none of this jinxing malarkey (at least that's what I'm repeating to myself every day!).

I'm due on 20th March. So far, I keep feeling like AF Is coming (cramps and 'wet' feeling) but also have a bit of an upset stomach in the mornings (nothing too awful) and a bit nauseous til about 1pm (again nothing too awful). At nights, I feel pretty bloated. LIke PP, I quite like having some symptoms as am still in total shock after such a long journey and it helps me feel like its real.

Looking forward to oversharing and getting / giving support!

PS I am not on facebook; please don't leave me here on my own!!?! :-)

Hi M33r - I thought I was pretty much the last one standing not on Facebook, nice to know I'm not alone! Congratulations by the way, and yay to the positivity!
I find I have to eat constantly to combat the nausea. This morning I was trying fruit, but that just wasn't cutting it, but the pizza at lunch was perfect! Dd's favourite food is pizza so maybe I am growing another pizza fiend, ties in with the carbs thing though. I'm seriously worried I'm going to be the size of a house by the end!

Fb group sounds good to me too!! Will try and work out how to pm...

Went to London today, oh my god, so hot and exhausted. But also as I was so hold I felt really clammy and damp (niiiccceee) but it meant the I kept panicking thinking the dampness was bleeding. But no, it's just me being clammy and sticky.

Nerves starting to kick in - the Friday the week after I found out last time was when I had mc. So need to get past this weekend in my head.

Got a hen do this weekend and told then the hen the truth. Only because she boozes for Britain (as I used to admittedly) and I will get asked why not on bubbles and I can't be arsed with pissed speculation

Docs next Wednesday for me. Come on bean, hang in there

Hello newbies! It's so much nicer now that it has cooled down a bit, it's supposed to be even hotter tomorrow, isn't it? Think I will stay in a dark room all day!

Brummie just click the wee arrow next to post to send pm!

This heat today had me totally dead on my feet and feeling even yuckier than I have been lately

four I thought I was the only one! Glad I have company. Also glad others have the 'wet' feeling. I have docs tomorrow but I think just for a chat...

I will still post on here and FB! But I must admit, the January 2012 lot now just use FB - it was easier once babies were born. Can't believe 'they' are now 2 1/2 years old and here I am again!!

I must admit, being a teacher too, I worry about the possibility of parents or friends of friends knowing me, but unlikely as I live in a part of the UK which is not that familiar with MN!

We've told family and close friends and everyone at my work knows but not parents and children! I haven't announced on FB either and won't do until after all results from the 12 week scan are back.

I am beginning to eat myself out of house and home. Snacking and drinking loads. Boobs still hurt, AF type cramps and also having to knicker check as I am hot, wet and sticky and keep thinking the worst. CM today said twins!?!?!? My symptoms are 2 weeks earlier than with DC1.

As for MW and GP appointments - I was able to bypass my GP and phone the MW direct. I won't see her for another 4-6 weeks though.

Appleby A sac is positive but obviously a little early.

cogratulations everyone! I'm due early march with my first child

junkfoodaddict I have a January 2012 as well! Friday 13th. I wasn't here when I was pregnant with him though.

After the horrors of today (this afternoon didnt get any better, eldest has end of term-itis and youngest was feeling the lack of nap) my lovely parents came over and took us all out for dinner. Feel much better now! The wait is going to be hard and the cysts are a bit concerning but basically I'm still pregnant, just not as pregnant as I thought!

Thanks everyone so much for your kind words, they have really helped.

Keep positive apple!

4am club today. Had a cry before bed last night. I was wondering why you lot were all weepy and I'd got none of it. Just completely over tired from a lot of exercise, heat and work this week.

Welcome to all the newbies! Notoast I am not the youngest but I am the last to have kids, so that might have something to do with it. OH's parents were really nice when we told them last night. My mother still hasn't calmed down yet though, so I'm just avoiding her at the moment! 5am nausea club today and everyday

bouncesky - what on earth did she say to you? I'm so sorry you're having to deal with that. It's hard enough going through pregnancy as it is, let alone without the support you counted on x

So glad the weather broke last night - I can breathe again! Hurrah!

And in other news - I know someone on this thread irl. I'm not going to say who and I won't out you, I promise, but I'm not telling anyone irl yet so you'll just have to guess amongst yourselves.

Oh eatscakes you can't say that and not say who!!

Great start to the day....threw up all over myself on way to work! FYI aldi bags for life have holes in!

Eatscake - intrigue!
