Due-in Due-ly - July thread 2, where the beans turn into beansprouts

[WantToGoingTo]

Hello all had a go at a very naff name! Hop across!

Implantation usually starts from 6dpo
(Though i had increased sense of smell from 5dpo)

Hey wildfire aren't we due date twins too? Would be hilarious if we give birth same day and meet

I'm not from Surrey I'm Scottish but live in Sussex and we don't have a hospital so use east surrey

Is anyone remembering to do their pelvic floor exercises? I keep on forgetting and having to do extra!

SophieBarringtonWard I'm from Cheshire and used one2one during my last pregnancy. I self referred via their website if that helps?

As I was going through I was trying to keep a mental note of the names of the older mums to say hi, but can't remember a single thing now.....oh apart from 80% of you are from Surrey!
I'm 39 & if all goes well baby will be arriving just before my 40th.

Wow, what a fab 40th birthday present you're going to get shiv

I'm in the midlands. Anyone else from these parts?

Broody I'm From the Midlands, though about as far north Midlands as you can get!
Just been for emergency snack and now hoping for another hours sleep...

Biscuit breakfast for me, it's all I can face this morning.

Soooo tired. Awake since 4

supershiv I'm an "older" mum as well. Will be 39 when this one arrives

touch, you must have beautiful scenery then (maybe?)

Broody I certainly do! Though today it's grey and foggy!

I'm glad I'm not the only one ibelieve. Thanks tiny of course I will let everyone know on here on Sunday. After days and days of being nauseous I have finally started being actually sick, God I feel 100% better just to get it all out!!! Xx

Supershiv you can't self refer in my area for some reason. Did you rate them? I had a similar service for my dc1, the Brierly midwives out of kings college hospital & really liked it, so thought I would try it again up here. Although I was perfectly happy with the community midwives I has for dc2.

Morning ladies, can I have some advice pls? We are going to announce over the Christmas period but I am wondering how to do this in a sensitive way as my cousin was due to have a baby on NYE but had a mmc at her 12w scan back in July. I really don't want to be insensitive as I know that she will be thinking over Christmas/new year that her baby woul have been due and she should have it in her arms. My mum suggested I call her a week before I have my scan so she is first to know our of family and has time to get used to idea on her own before I let everyone else know after scan. What do you think? I know some of you have had mc in the past, how would you appreciate being told, what is the bet way to handle this? The last thing I want is her to think I am rubbing it in her face because I am totally aware that it is a difficult time for her and thatshe won't forget that her EDD was NYE.

Hi I'm in notts and 32 Not sure where that puts me in the mix

I'm so lucky I don't get morning sickness but my boobs are incredibly sore and massive in to the bargain, I also can't drink caffeine anymore as it turns my stomach.

Hope your all well

Hi Supershiv, I'm an older mum, I'll be 41 when baby arrives.

Feel shattered today and fighting the urge to throw a sickie and sleep

Had a reassuring chat with my mum this morning.

Apparently she was never sick in any of her pregnancies so gives me some hope

Hello ladies mind if I join your thread? I'm due 23rd July got my BFP last week. Terrified as had MMC at 10 weeks earlier this year but have no reason to think anything will go wrong (I keep telling myself). Am however too scared to tell anyone so would love to share my updates with you lovely ladies

Wanting I think the advice of giving her a heads up – a week or so – is pretty sound. She will be happy for you but it will also be upsetting, I found baby news hard this year, even when I was so happy for friends / family. The more warning the better – I’ve spent the odd social occasion having a little cry in the toilets xx

Welcome, and thanks littlelady. Yes I think it is probably right to give her some notice, it will be a difficult conversation I think. I just didn't want to ruin her Christmas with all the family jumping for joy and she having a difficult time of it.

wanting I would go with your mums advice. I had a MC last year, 2 weeks later my close friend who knew this then decided to send me photos (completely out of the blue) of her scan with the words 'so so happy I have a healthy bean' I didn't even know she was pregnant and it broke my heart. I felt like she was totally rubbing it my face. If she had gave me call and said 'now I know this is a really difficult time for you, but I have some news I would like to share...' I wouldn't have been so hurt. It was the complete lack of sensitivity that got to me.

So yes, if I was your cousin I would definitely appreciate your mums idea.

wantto if it were me if very much appreciate the phone call in advance. It shows you are sympathetic and have remembered and are taking her feelings into account. I don't think I'd want someone to feel they couldn't be happy and announce their baby due to mc but I would appreciate a heads up.

Sorry lady I completely missed your post there. Welcome and congratulations!

want I agree, I would also tell her before so that she can get her head around it etc.

Be prepared that she may want to avoid you.

I have a dear friend who was trying for a baby for years with her husband. They eventually split up 2 years ago and he has just had a baby with his new girlfriend. I fear my news will tip her over the edge especially as I don't think she will be expecting it.
