June 2007................

[HRHQueenOfQuotes]

Well despite all the goings on on my "oh sh*t" thread I know I'm not going to be terminating. So I figured I may as well start a club for June 2007! Don't suppose there's many (if any) others yet - I'm not even quite 4 weeks yet, and my EDD will be 5th June!!

Thinking of you LemonST

Cocabear - I believe you can get highlights at any time as the stuff doesn't touch the scalp, but not sure about dying - maybe start a thread on the pg threads.

LST - really

sorry to read your news LST

lemonstartree so sorry,

well last night i had a really bad one was convinced that i didnt have sore boobs or not tired, didnt sleep a wink, when i m/c in june thats what happened first, so scared, i then got really bad pain i thought it was all over for me. until i got up and boobs was sore, mw came today as i have a blood clotting disorder she sending me to gyny in next few weeks, as i have to have warfrin when pg.
still no scan though i asked about paying she said not at my hospital! so no idea where to look for one, shes not coming back until15 weeks as i will be under gymy.

Thinking of you lemon. so sorry

Lemonstartree - thoughts are with you . It all seems so fragile this life thing, I hope you have the strength to get through it, re-group and try again. good luck for the future

I'm pg again after 2m/c (now 5+4, due 18 June) and swear this is the last time if we don't make it. six weeks seems to be my nemesis (one missed m/c at (they think) six weeks, didn't bleed till week 11 and was feeling really ill for those 5 weeks, and the other at 5+6 weeks)

This whole testing thing seems like a minefield. Although I was 33 when I had DS I didn't even think about anything and of course it was all fine. A friend of mine has decided not to have any testing done at all....maybe she's right as like her, I don't think the results would alter my decision to carry on with the pg. Another friend of mine was advised against the blood screening at 16 weeks as the baby was ivf and this can skew the results, so she didn't, and her baby has Down's (she's only 36). Don't know how I'll feel though if my bloods come back with a higher than average chance of problems.

On a more postive note, saw the doc on Wed who has confirmed the pg, so it's official (whey hey!!). He's also given me an urgent referral to the midwife because of the earlier m/cs, but no referral to the EPU as things seem fine so far.

ms not too bad...just mild nausea pretty much until three in the afternoon and really tired...can't stay awake past nine o'clock. Have broken out in a lovely rash of zits, under my chin of all places ?**! and (.)(.) are sooo sooo sore and sensitive. I'm an engineer and was on site this morning, flashing bullet like nipples to the workmen (TMI??). I hope it made their day!!

DS found my sanatogen pronatal and has put 2+2 together and is now telling everyone that I'm having a baby. Tried to deflect him with 'we're trying for a baby' as he was really upset over the first m/c, but he's having none of that. He's made up his mind and that is that!!!

anyway, better get back to work, bit of a blurb that....it's good you ladies are all out there as it's nice to talk about it when the rest of the world is yet to find out....and I really really hate secrets!

Later, Ladies and hope we're all feeling not too bad. Keep on

Think i posted this on the wrong thread....should have been the over 35 thread...Brain is starting to meltdown already. Never mind, I've been dipping in and out of this thread too. Must get some of those new omega vits to stop the brain rot!!

Well woke up this morning sick as a dog. Not had any sickness all pregnancy trust me to get it today. Had my 7 week scan today, it was amazing. Could see the heart beating which brought a tear to my eye but the fact that it was an internal scan soon put me off wanting to lay there for hours watching the screen. DH reckons it looks just like him, well he does have a shaved head which makes him look like a peanut too.

Daisybump - post didn't look out of place, so you got away with it

Trace - thank God I'm not the only one who is constantly squeezing her boobs to make sure they still hurt. Exactly the same for me. That was the first sign last time. Also last time I didn't get as far as ms, but if my stomach starts feeling normal and I have no nausea I'm convinced it's the symptoms fading and the start of another missed mc.

Do you think we'll be any better once we're past 12weeks?? Bloody hope so!

Hiya ladies,

Changes isp so had a day or 2 without internet connection.

Sorry to hear your news lemon, thinking of you .

Had a cr*ppy couple of days, me and dds poorly, cold cough sore throat etc etc. So needless to say i've had a full bed and hardly any sleep.

Today is dd1s 3rd birthday ()! Bit of a lonely one though, both sets of grandparents on holiday and dp working away (they wouldn't let him come home). She's at nursery now though, hopefully dp will be home in time to pick her up if the traffic isn't too bad.

MAJOR RANT ALERT

As i said, dds are poorly. To cut a long story short, dd2 didn't want to play, didn't want a cuddle, didn't want to be put down etc, she didn't want anything, was being whingy because she's poorly. So i put her in her highchair and gave her a toy and a drink and thought i may as well get some housework done as i couldn't comfort her. I was going about my business when i get a knock on my front door. It was my next door neighbour. She said:

"Don't you think you should look after your kids, she's been crying for half an hour."
ME " she's just whinging she's got a cold"
HER "you should pick her up. I raised 3 kids i never let mine cry i picked em up"
ME "On yer bike" (not my exact words )
HER " I'm going to report you to social services"

Stupid &%$£*!!!!! I couldn't believe it

a) the window was open and she was outside, its not like she was crying so loud she could hear her in her house (we aren't attached)
b) dd2 wasn't even crying preoperly just moaning and whinging if she had been screaming i would have picked her up.
c) she didn't want picking up she kept getting off my knee when i had hold of her
d)Its nothing to do with that nosy cow

And anyways, she should listen more often because sometimes both dds cry at the same time. She'd love that, she could come knocking again! Crikey i'm such a bad mother, i mean come on my kids cry i must be.

Sorry rant over.

lilKel - sorry to drop the idea of preggie pos on you and then just disappear without telling you where to get them! Sounds like you'll probably have them soon anyways. Let us know if they work, will have to give em a go when my sickness kicks in. (i know it will!) Also i have a Phil and Teds, it is fantastic, wouldn't be without it. I find that it fits with plenty of room for shopping etc in the boot of dp's 306, but i have to remove a wheel to get it in mums corsa.

Must put the pressies away before i break something!

hi there all,

May I join this thread?

Me 35
DH 35
No children (yet)
Due date 8.6.07

First time leaving message. Been logging on to this website since I found out I was pregant. Its a great reassurance to hear that what I'm going through is same as others!

Got a private scan booked for 8 weeks, (next Saturday) just to convince myself I'm actually pregant. Only side effects are sore boobs, (which I check regulary that they're still sore!)Then normal scan at 12 weeks and I've been offered Nucal scan that week too (£100, not on the NHS in my area!)

Will probably join over 35's thread too.

YAY - got my scan date through but it's not until the 22nd November - when I'll be 12 weeks pg - came with the usual information including drinking 2 pints of liquid an hour before the appointment and not going to the toilet between then and the scan LOL. You can tell these things are written by men...........I can't drink 2 pints of anything and not go to the loo - even when I'm not pg - let alone once I'm 12 weeks gone!!!

Got my booking in appointment with the mw on the 2nd of November - so that's a bit closer.

Now feeling unbelievably exhausted (not helped by the fact that from 25th Sept-24th Oct) I will have worked 166 1/2hrs at work -all long night shifts! Also been off my food - and craving things I shouldn't have - so I've weighed up the risks of not eating anything, and the risks of eating Brie and Grape Baguettes and taken the risk of eating the latter.. I've also already gone up a dress size - but haven't put on any weight yet - still weight the same as I did at the start of Septeber....got a definite shape appearing.....now hoping it's just because I'm short and the uterus pops out from behind my pubic bone quicker than it would with a taller woman...........and not because there's more than one LOL.

7+3 - can't believe it's been 4 weeks since that first awful day when I found out!!

Can I join in? Thought it was a bit early for a June thread but looks like I'm late to the party!

Due 19/06/07
First baby
25 yrs
DH 41 yrs

Getting lots of yukky crampy pains which are making me feel a bit nauseous, and not sleeping well. Can't stop telling people! But already sick of my mother ringing me every other day saying "how is my daughter and grandchild?" - one of us isn't going to make it through these 9 months!

that's so funny, I can't stop telling people either! Everyone advises you to keep stum until week 12, but I couldn't, so excited! And god forbid anything should happen to baby to be, I'd want the support from my friends and family. I'll feel a lot more confident after my 12 week scan though.

Hi everybody -7+4 today and have my early scan on Mon morning- please let there be a heartbeat!!! On a pos note I have had no bleeding this time and I did by this stage with all 3 prev m/cs- so I think it's looking good.

Sarahsausage at your rude neighbor- what a cheek, tell her you'll call the police and have her done for trespass/ harrassment if she bangs on your bloody door again- cheek!! Rant over but people like that should be prosecuted for being alive -lol!!!! and yes i have had neighbours from hell in the past- thank god i live miles from nearest neighbour now- bliss!!!

Keep up the preg symptoms ladies and lets all get to the second tri where we will 'bloom' according to my book- it's lying i know.

Gosh so much has happened - have been away on a course for a week so not able to log on. Was a nightmare, hard work, lots of stress two bakc to back 2 hour exams at the end and then as soon as got home on friday had to pack up and head down to dorset to hotel as had Grannys funeral saturday (she was 92 and had a good life so not sooo sad, but seeing my Dad cry made me blub like a baby - normally far more in control of emotions, Finally got home last night after 5 nights away totally strung out - feel it can't have been good for the bean, but all seems ok. Tiredness not as bad as first 6 weeks- thank god , or don't think i would have made it through the course and nausea very intermittant and normallyr esolved if I can force something down, have not actually been sick.

Mostly am having mental crisis as this is my first and I already feel very different to how I felt before I was PG and I know that once the baby is born I will feel very different again, and although it probably sounds phenominally selfish I am freaked at the prospect of never really getting to feel like myself again - like I was before ... I don't know if that makes any sense, but has reduced me to tears thinking about it - its like mourning my old self because its all going to be different from now on

Maybe its the hormones....

Anyway, glad to see so many new joiners and Jucy have found the over 35 thread (although am 34 might crash it), and I guess I'll count my blessings it all seems to be going ok.

Hello!!!!

Feeling a touch less horrific now that DH is home for the weekend to help with DS1, and I've had some proper sleep. Shopped for new car and just can't believe I have to give up my Mini and get something to 'carry people' now. GAH!!!

Charly - you see, the identity adjustment doesn't stop with just one kid! Once you get used to having one, and you've got back to your old 'self' (well, as much as you want to get back to that lonely time, anyway...) along comes another and then you REALLY start to wonder if you're becoming some alterego version of yourself. But it all makes sense in the end, don't worry. Really.

Lemon - we are thinking of you

Sarah - I too think you ought to tell your neighbor to be careful or SHE's the one who will end up facing the police for harrassment charges...unBELIEVABLE how some people crown themselves experts on other people's lives...!!!

Daisy - you're not on the wrong board!! Or else we're all going to have to crash the over-35s just to stay in touch!!

Oh and big huge bundles of good luck to all of you with early scans!!!! I hope all goes well!!!

Hi folks. I have been lurking a bit as I posted at 4 weeks and then decided I didn't want to do lots of pregnancy talk if I was going to mc.
But I will be 6 weeks tomorrow and 2 mcs were at 5 weeks, so I am hoping this might be the real thing. I haven't told anyone (except dh of course!!) We won't tell until about 10 weeks as I want to get past the worst of the mc scenario.

By the way it is my 3rd (sorry, I can't remember who was asking??) And I think I'm one of the old ladies, I will be 40 when he/she is born Can anyone give me a link to the over 35 thread?

I had loads of symptons before you are supposed to have them (at 3 + weeks) but now have hardly any, just being really ratty with everyone!! Mind you I had hardly any symptons last two times either at the beginning.

hi people. just made me smile seeing your thread as i was a june 2006er and it was about this time last year i fell pregnant, so i know how excited you all must be. by the time i was 8 weeks i couldn't resist the temptation to start buying baby things, probably why i ended up with so much rubbish!! good luck everyone and enjoy still being able to bend down!!

Steppemum, here you go:

Over35

Hope it works!

Hello again, hope you ladies are all ok. Glad the scan went well babymonster, its dead exciting when you see them for the first time. I went to docs on thurs and they now do a 12 week dating scan here so im just going to have that, might have the triple test but not sure yet.

Spent thurs afternoon at the hospital with DS as he has a wierd bruise on his sternum, he is not even crawling yet so it cant be from falling over and ive no idea how it got there, when i showed it to GP she said she had seen nowt like it before and sent us up to see a paediatrician. A bit unexpected as i fully expected them to laugh at me for worrying about something as trivail as a bruise!! They were equally puzzled, did blood tests to check hhis clotting and all was fine so just have to keep an eye on him and go back if it gets worse (which hasnt), he is fine in himself so guess it'll always be a mystery.

Anyway feeling good here, no symptoms of pg other than getting fatter already (as per last time), i obviously dont wish to be ill as i know from friends how miserable this can be but sometimes i do wonder if i have imagined the whole thing!!

I remeber last time being convinced there would be nothing there when i had the first scan so i guess its just the same again....will just have to wait another few weeks.

Sarah, your neighbour is unbelieveable...cheeky mare!! Her kids must be unreal if they never have those whingey full of cold days!

Hello ladies, had abit of a tough day today, tired and emotional is i think the appropriate phrase, got up cranky and stayed cranky pretty much all day. I think its just that I had a really long week last week and so things are finally getting back to normal and its taking me a while to settle. Nearly killed someone at lunch over a minor disagreement and had no awareness of how angry i must have seemed until someone pointed it out. It seems I am not only less patient - but less aware of my level of patience to boot - since noone at work knows the score they might be thinking i have been taken over by aliens, feels a little bit like that anyway somedays

nausea abit pants this week - still no vomitting but regularly feel th need to heave, especially since someone has left a tupperware fo something in the fridge at workf or 2 weeks plus and you can see it changing colour through the box!!!! gross, heaves just thinking about it

hope everyone else is doing ok, have my scan in 3 and a half weeks and am impatient to know that everything is ok, am assuming thats what the scan is for, and that if there is a problem i will get a second scan - is there a difference between the 12 week scan and the nuchal scan? first timer - no idea!!

off home soon - need to do some excercise, feel really flat, might make me feel abit less like a whale as well

onwards and upwards

Hi ladies
Very nervous as have got my scan tomorrow - will be 7 weeks tomorrow. Been spotting on and off for 3 weeks now - most mornings - which is obviously really worrying. Having said that I feel v. sick, really tired, sore boobs etc so who knows. Will let you know how I get on. Will be really gutted if all is not well with our little embryo.

Am 35
DH 37
DD 1
Due 12 June

I had absolutely no probs with 1st pregnancy so this early scan biz is all new to me. Much more anxious this time round as had mc in June. Just really feel is I am going to have another mc that it would just happen - can't bear the thought of it happening weeks down the line. Anyway my DH keeps telling me to think positive.

Good luck with everyone else who have early scans

Hi Ladies, Hope you all had a nice weekend, we told my folks and sisters over the weekend...its the first baby in our family so my parents are beyond excited! Very thrilled and have already given me dates to when they could come over!
How did your scan go this morning Andi0411? hope all is well.
Charlyp, I have soooo been feeling like you...our first baby and I spent last night in tears at the thought of my life no responsiblity soon to be over, but I seem to have got over myself today its all just so new, strange and scary sometimes!
thehairybabysmum- hope your DS is OK now,
Florentine- all the best for your scan tomorrow, positive thoughts going your way
How are you feeling today SarahS and Megandsoph?
