Any June mums to be yet?

[ots]

I've seen the group for May or June, but are there any other definite Junes yet?
Been getting faint positive lines for a few days but today have got a definite line, giving me a due date of around 6th June :)

Trying to stay cautiously optimistic at the moment as we had an MMC in May at 8 weeks.

So, who else is out there? :)

chookford I am in your camp definitely. No symptoms here yet at all which can helps the sitting in a corner thing.

Went to see GP yesterday and register with them though and got a pack of stuff. I am utterly terrified even though I have 2DC already it just seems such a long time ago, my age with its additional risk factor compared to 5 years ago and the fact I grow big babies. GP seemed to shirk it off saying I am straightforward and will probably need less appointments... I know what she meant as in DC #3 but hasn't help my fear tbh. We are not telling anyone if we can until after the 12 week scans.. will see if we can manage it as have family party on the 25th.

Chookford and sunbathing I'll join you in the corner. An amount of denial and head in the sand is helpful I reckon and might even help time pass at a more reasonable rate than obsessing all the time. I think for me it might me a bit like the hokey cokey. Either head in the sand and rocking in the corner trying to ignore and distract or jumping in the middle "shaking it all about" by excessive use of Dr Google, over thinking, and "whatifery".

silver I think I might also be a bit of a food rebel/taking strategic risks when the risk is very very small. For example one of my absolute fave lunches when working from home is soft boiled eggs and toast. I was delighted to read that all red lion eggs are vacinnated against salmonella. So I will continue eating them - but I'll probably be more cautious that the white is properly cooked. Expecting Better has a great chapter on food choices which has helped me out/calmed me down.

Sunbathing I'm very crampy too. But it is fairly normal to have cramps. It's just everything stretching around. The only time to worry is if the pain is more one side and quite acute. Saying that I always am more aware of my left side as there s major
Blood vessel running through my left ovary. And it's very high. No 2 bodies are the same imo.

Thanks ladies

Its good to know I am not alone in my mentalness! I will also be going to an early reassurance scan sunbathing just trying to wait a few more weeks to make sure something will be visable... even thinking about having that scan makes me want to cry... brings back alot of bad memories! Im sure the cramps are down to needing the loo... I think I have just started with mild constipation I am hoping it wont get too bad...

Afternoon ladies,
Just catching up on the thread sat outside ds school wondering when i should jump out and face this rain!

Sickness has returned! Must of just decided to give me a weekend off. I actually feel 'better' now it has returned! Now on the 1 week count down to the next scan and what i've got into my head as d-day for this pregnancy. I'm focusing on the positives, i feel different this time, first scan was positive, no spotting, pains explained with the 'cyst' ... It will b ok x (right jumping out of car)

I'm really unsure of whether or not to try and get an early scan. I want one, but last time I had one at 7 weeks (due to some bleeding), and the sonographer put me back to 6 weeks, which made me worry that the baby wasn't developing properly. Then at 8 weeks I had more bleeding so had another scan, and that was when they found baby's heart had stopped at 6+5. So while it would be really reassuring to have an early scan, it feels a bit pointless for me as it just caused extra worry last time. Sorry, I hope I don't worry any of you in saying that.

Had an awful dream last night that DS was dying, and I was begging the doctor to take the baby inside me instead. It was horrible and I woke up in tears. I've also got a terrible cold, and would normally be taking as many max strength painkillers as possible, but that's not an option this time. Honey and lemon in boiled water has helped slightly.

Despite all this, I am feeling really positive at the moment. I've stopped saying "hopefully we'll have another baby in June" and instead saying "we ARE having another baby in June!" That feels like a big step for me. Got my first midwife appointment at the end of next week, and can't wait to get the ball rolling and get in the system.

sunbathing my friend found out she was pregnant with her DS at 16 weeks. At her first scan she was able to find out the sex. I would love to get through the first few months without knowing, although I would worry about drinking, not taking folic acid etc.

Sorry for my slightly whiney post, hope I haven't brought you all down too much.

sunbathing, yeah, that's what is making me want an early one, the thought of blindly hoping everything is alright until the 12 week scan. That must have been horrible for you not finding out til then . I've had quite a few vivid dreams, mainly focussed around DS/this baby, as well as several where me and DH have split up. Didn't get vivid dreams with my last pregnancy, but with DS I had loads (taking that as another positive sign).

Yes, hope you didn't get too soaked jazzy. It was really heavy when I went to collect DS from nursery but luckily we only live a 1 minute walk away. We've also had quite a lot of thunder and lightning!

Afternoon ladies sunbathing that must have been so sad to have thought everything was ok until your 12 week scan & then find out
On the back of reading that I've emailed to book an early private scan today. But as I seem to be worrying about everything, Im sure, like you ots it won't necessarily put my mind at rest...

My DP's grandmother passed away last night. She had reached a ripe old age, so it's not too sad or unexpected, but now he keeps saying "Im so glad you're pregnant" & I suddenly feel like it's a big weight of responsibility!

Still, continuing to feel grotty today, with painful boobs, so Fx

Despite having spotting last time, I didn't have an early scan. We nearly booked a private one but made the decision not to in the end, for various reasons. So we won't be having one this time either.

We did have a gender scan at 16 weeks though, and we'll do that again as it was a lovely experience and 8 weeks between scans is also a long time.

Sorry to hear about the experiences some of you have had previously.

I get the opposite to constipation when I'm pregnant (not extreme though). Weirdo, I know!

Sorry to hear about the terrible dreams.

Sorry to hear that, perpetual.

Sorry to hear about your DP's grandmother perpetual . I understand what you mean about added pressure on you though.

I'd love an early gender scan cuphat, but money is a bit tight this year and can't really justify the extra cost. We're definitely going to find out at the NHS scan though, as if its another boy we won't really need to buy anything, but will need all clothes etc if its a girl so will be nice to get prepared.

We used the NHS scan as confirmation as sonographers sometimes get it wrong if they say it's a girl (we pretended we didn't know the gender). We were told girl at both scans, and then had it confirmed again at a scan to confirm she was breech at 38 weeks, but when they said they can still get it wrong then I was still worrying up until she was born (after decorating the nursery etc)! Same here, if it's a boy we can get rid of loads of clothes!

I'd hope you'd get one based on your history, sunbathing.

Yes, we have to think positive.

[slaps sunbathing]!!! Well you did say you needed a slap! Each day at a time. Today you are pregnant!

We really need a slap emoji!

It's just such a fluctuating state isn't it. Earlier today I was feeling quite positive. Then for a bit I felt sad and scared because I was thinking about how much I want this baby. Then I felt okay for a bit. Then I felt a bit panicky as I had a couple of crampy pangs (including one sharp one) that made me stress about my continuing cm waterfall sensations.

This was all in one afternoon

Hang on there sunbathing and maybe add "this to will pass" in relation to the worry to "today I am pregnant" xx

Hey all,

I've also not been feeling very pregnant and trying not to worry.

However have some lovely spots on my face which is nice, hungry all the time, evening nausea, dizziness and my god I am always tired!!!

Only a few weeks until my private scan now. Really hoping everything is ok. Feel so nervous.

Why is time going so sloooooooowly,
