It's no April fool part 2- due April 2015

[Cisforcat]

Part 2 of our bus journey.....

I tried everything with both mine! Pineapple, curry, bouncing on my birthing ball, walked loads, driving down bumpy roads, sex nothing got them out :( tempted to get some reflexology this time around if I go over!

Cinnamon I knew I recognised your name from somewhere! I have you on mfp!

Thanks ladies! I'll ask my gp when I go in Tuesday!! Tickle it's so exciting isn't it!?!? I'm so glad to be able to chat with ppl who are going through the same as me and so weird we are only 1 day difference! Xxx

Congrats Cookie - think I'm also one day behind you at 4+4 today. So impatient though, I feel like the days are going so slowly - I just want to fast forward through the next few weeks!

Hey bananas know exactly how you feel!!! I think we are the same as I looked this morning and was 4+4. It's horrible not being able to tell anyone as it's still waaaaay to early! But I really am so excited! Xxx slight nausea but nothing else to report other than slight cramping very now and then xx

Great to have some people due late April - lots on here are a few weeks ahead and I was feeling very behind!

I keep wanting to tell random people - so far only DH and I know. I think I'm going to tell my parents this weekend though, as I'd tell them if anything went wrong.

I have noticed I'm much more dehydrated than usual. I always drink lots of water but am finding I need much more than I usually do. And felt totally shattered yesterday evening, but not had much nausea at all yet. I'm sure we have it all to come!

Hi ladies,

Can I join you? It sounds silly but it's taken quite a lot for me to join this thread. I had a MMC at 10 weeks at the end of June and have been fortunate enough to fall pregnant again, first AF after the surgery. Instead of the haze of happiness, my initial reaction was terror and an overwhleming fear that it would all go wrong again. I'm trying to take more of a positive mental attitude and I think joining you lovely ladies will help to stay positive and get some of that excitment back.

So, my stats:

OneDay, 27, DC#1, EDD 25th April 2015
DH is 33, we've been together 6 years and we live in Cambridgeshire

Gosh, even just writing my EDD made me feel funny.

Like I said I'm really trying to keep positive and tell myself that no matter what I do, I can't jinx this pregnancy. What will be will be. Had a bit of a freak out yesterday at the GP when booking with the MW and given a Bounty pack.

Anyone else here after MC too?

Congratulations cookie and tinkle

I've been heaving all day at customers perfume! Not good! My boobs are constantly hurting which is good. And I'm exhausted. Symptoms are a pain but then reassure me.

Sorry for your loss CareBear I lost my last pregnancy to anencephaly, it's tough

trying and tinkle Im having a scan at 7 +4 with my consultant on the nhs due to previous termination for medical reasons, the Anecephaly I mentioned above. It's quite rare and he's a specialist is pre natal diagnosis so will be under him until 22 weeks I think. If I get that far this time! Fx! I think I'll get a few extra scans as well which will be nice! It sounds silly but I don't want to tempt fate by getting all excited.

Congratulations OneDayLikeThis2013 and sorry for your loss! We may not always be positive but we try :)

I thought the same about your name laurenamium, good that they mystery is solved! I got quite obsessive after loosing my weight and had to make myself stop using mfp! Realised I was actually ok without it and haven't really been back since :)

Minipie yes I'm not sure how the whole Down's syndrome risk thing works, but its partly age and your levels of so-called PAPP-A, Beta-hCG etc which you have in your blood.... I guess if you've got low levels of all of those markers your age is balanced against that so ladies past 30 can still get a 1:10,000 risk? Also I think some ethnicities have higher levels of those markers naturally...

I mean I'll be over the moon if that happens and I don't get offered the free test - knowing my luck I'll be risk of 1: 1001 or something! Then I'll be joining you for a Harmony test I suspect...

Anyhow, one thing at a time, hopefully tomorrow's scan will confirm an actual embryo in there, that has a heartbeat, and then I can think about the next thing (or worry about whether bean will make it to the next scan!).
It is very odd dealing with the uncertainty of this but it just reminds me how uncertain and random much of life is we just often don't notice it... too busy in our structured day to day lives.

X post OneDay congratulations

I'm here after TFMR. It's terrifying isn't it. I had a little cry the other night, I just couldn't see how this pregnancy was going to go well and my anxiety is through the roof. But I'm trying to keep a PMA! It's hard though. Everytime I tell people or talk
About it I feel as if I've jinxed it. Only DP and work know, due to the job I do they have to know ASAP, I keep apologising to them incase I have to go off sick soon due to something going wrong they are lovely about it though, thank god! They are keeping a PMA for me I'm not planning on telling anyone else til 16 ish weeks if I get that far!

Hi BitchPeas I thought I recognised your name from the other thread.

Glad I'm not the only one who's anxiety is sky high. I'm POAS everyday (sometimes more than once) It's like a compulsion.

Just me and DH know at the moment and we've only known for less than a week. Last time we told our parents at 7 weeks after seeing the hb on the scan and then we had to un-tell them which was horrid. I just keep telling myself that I was unlucky and was in that weeny 4% of pregnancies that don't continue after seeing the hb at that stage. I think we'll hold off as long as possible before telling them again. We aren't even really speaking to eachother about the pregnancy as I think we're both so anxious. It's like the elephant in the room!

Anyhoo, PMA all the way now...well that's the plan!

Congratulations oneday

Cinnamon I just find myself updating it out of habit! Even now. Especially now, I feel like I can't stop now incase people notice and wonder why!

Has anyone else ever suffered lower back pain in the early days? I've had it a couple of times now. :(

Hi everyone, this thread is moving so fast! I had my booking in appointment this morning and the midwife has estimated my due date as 23rd March, so earlier than I thought. I guess that means I should really leave this thread as I feel like a bit of a fraud now! Debating whether to get the nuchal and blood test done at the 12 week scan - I think we did last time but can't quite remember! We'd go ahead with the pregnancy whatever the outcome so just need to decide now. I guess we have a few weeks to think about it.

Is it your first, Twittwooo? You might go over and have him/her in April anyway

No, my second Lady My first was 2 weeks over and even than not keen to come out so she was born by C Section. So I may go over and have an April baby, or may have another section.

Oneday, it's so difficult to be pregnant again after a loss. I feel almost as though it takes away the innocent joy that pregnancy can bring because it makes you more aware of what can go wrong. DP and I are also not talking about the pregnancy much, I think it's because we're both too scared and I think he's trying not to get too attached yet to protect himself.

Bitchpeas, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm feeling so conflicted about everything, parts of me feel guilty for getting pregnant again so soon, like I'm cancelling out my previous baby's existence. On a more lighthearted note I love your name.

I seem to be eating hourly at the moment! I'm going to be huge by the end if everything is ok with this pregnancy!

Welcome oneday - it's great that you've come to join us! Well done on the PMA - I really hope that it all works out well for you this time x

So glad I double checked with you guys, rang the GP surgery, was told to contact a Childrens Centre and im now booked in for my first appointment with the midwife on Sept 18th.

I ordered 'what to expect when you're expecting' yesterday so im hoping that will arrive soon. I am clueless!

hi all, is anyone else feeling really emotional today? i'm a wreck! crying at everything and i feel so sick i've even cried reading harry potter!!! and not even the sad ones, the early ones!!!

Bananatoast I feel exactly the same!! I am sooooo dehydrated and have been soooo exhausted today both with hot and cold moments!!! I really want to tell my best friends but DH doesn't want anyone knowing yet as he thinks it'll jinx it and he's quite a nervous nelly!

It's exciting that everyone on here is so nice and that we can share this journey together!

I always cry if I read Harry potter, it makes me feel so nostalgic.

I am more grumpy than weepy today. I even shouted at DD "I am the mummy and you are the child", I don't normally even raise my voice so she looked a bit shell shocked. In turning into a really shouty mummy and I'm only 5 weeks.

I am supposed to be meal planning right now but mumsnet is distracting.

Mswibble I think that's great! I haven't ordered anything yet as think it's too early

Dancestomyowntune - yes!!!! I've been having mixed emotions today!!
Feeling really vulnerable and stressed at work is not a good combination! I'm just soooo shattered and feel like I could burst into tears at any given opportunity! Xxxx

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone!

CareBear I am completely with you re the guilt of falling pregnant again so soon. For me it was just 5 weeks after the ERPC. I really wasn't expecting it so soon so it's taken me by surprise.

Thank you roast PMA is definitely the way forward I feel. After all, if we don't have hope then what is there?

This is a really busy thread! It's a wonderful distraction.
