August 2015! Come join me :-)

[LoopyLa]

Just got my bfp today & due 3rd August (or thereabouts!).

Anyone else fancy coming aboard?

Loopyla, 37 yrs old, due 3 Aug, dc#2

Mummytogoldie - Sorry for your losses. I think it depends. Our EPU says after 3 miscarriages :(
But it also does offer in cases of maternal anxiety. I would give them a call if I were you. I guess the circumstances of your previous miscarriages might also be relevant.

Can I join? TTC for 11 months, including a mmc in April this year. This will be DC3, due 3rd August (and I didn't want an August baby, gah) I am completely petrified that the worse will happen again. Symptomless at the moment, which isn't helping with my worrying, never did I think I'd be so desperate to feel sick.

I'm symptomless too

And I didn't want an August baby either!! This will be ELC (if we get that far) so I'm sort of hoping it might be a bit early!

Hi all I'm tentatively joining you all... I've had two faint positives this week, both afternoon tests, doing one in the morning tomorrow. Feeling very tired, boobs are hurting, both signs of early pregnancy with both my DDs.

28, DC3, EDD8th/9th/10th August (weird cycle following Mirena removal so unsure as to which one it actually is!) I have 2DDs, 6 & almost 4, married, this will be our first DC together, DH also has DS1 who is 12.

DSIL and 1 of my DSISs knows, both very excited. Holding on for a few more days and some definite positives before calling my Dad (he lives quite far away) and popping into see FIL (although he will know straight away something is up as I haven't been to his house all year... His DP is an awful woman who made some vile remarks about my MH earlier this year... pill popping shit Mum Stuff like that. Sigh. bit ironic considering shes now on ADs and sedatives No apology as of yet but we shall see.

Yes, I have a diagnosed psychiatric condition, and yes I take medication for that, I have no shame whatsoever in that. I have been extremely worried about meds and PG but GP has assured me that my meds are incredibly safe and not to worry if I can't cut them down.

Well... That turned out to be a bit of an essay! Heres some and thanks for reading!

Also wondering if much has changed since I had my last DD in regards to ante natal care/advice etc.

Can i join too please? Got my bfp this morning! Think I'll be due 6 th aug.

Sorry girls, you'll have to continue you this lovely journey by yourselves, I miscarried this morning. I'm heartbroken

loopy that's so sad. I'm so sorry. Sending you big hugs.

Oh loopy I am so so sorry. It's happened to me twice this year so I feel your pain.

Please look after yourself and take each day as it comes.

If you feel strong enough, try the TTC after MC thread in conception. That thread has been a lifesaver in some of my darkest days. I'm still on it even now as I'm not ready to leave the support. Lots of ladies on there have been through and are even going through what you are now.

Big hugs

Loopyla, I'm so so sorry to hear that. x

Oh loopy. You're not alone in this. Take support wherever you can, and be kind to yourself. X

Loopy & un-MN hugs for you.

Oh loopy I'm so sorry to hear about this. Like Brummie said, look after yourself and if you are thinking about TTC again soon, there are a few threads that I've found really helpful. I've been lurking in the JS thread - it's hilarious and it's helped me through the dark times. Hope you'll get a sticky bean soon xxx

I'm sorry too.

It happened to me last month (and im not entirely convinced it won't happen again this month)

Look after yourself x

dave is this your first post-mc cycle too? Am a little bit worried that I'll be told off for not waiting till the next cycle. Have only just called to book a GP appt today after BFP a week ago.

Thanks so much girlies, the support's been great I really appreciate it

Hi everyone, congratulations to all of you :) Can I (tentatively) join too? I had a very faint line on 2 tests yesterday and a BFP this afternoon. I think i'd be due the end of August!

Hey Dave and Gakay there's absolutely nothing wrong with being post mc cycle. My sis is an obs & gynae registrar and said it can just be a bit harder to date you is all.

I feel so so sick tonight and very very bloated

So sorry to hear your Sad news loopy. Hope you are getting lots of hugs at home.

Hi em, welcome! There's a mumsnet pregnancy calculator you can use to find out your exact due date if you like..

Welcome to other new peeps too!

Hope you are all managing better than me! Still very much a roller coaster here... Terrified of the changes that are going to happen over the next year and onwards, terrified in case something goes wrong, and so happy to be hoping for a much longed for third child.

The midwife phoned me with appointment for 3 weeks time, so I'm hoping she'll be able to book a scan for me in time for 12 weeks/ nuchal translucency. I feel more anxious about the ante natal tests now I'm past the 35.

Hope everyone feeling ok today.

Thanks guyropes - just had a look and it says due date should be around 28th August. Did you just phone your GP surgery and tell them you are pregnant?

I'm feeling a little worried too. This will be our first and we have only been TTC three months so while we are delighted (and very grateful), we were surprised it happened so quickly! We haven't told anyone either and although i'm desperate to tell my mum I cant shift the worry of her not being as happy as we are. I have no reason to think she wont be, except I know she would rather we were married first. I hope i'm just being silly.

I have had cramps which feel like period pain but milder for the last few days. Although I've heard this is normal I cant help but feel worried AF is coming.

Hi Em are you sure you've got your date right? I'm exactly 4 weeks today and my due date is 7th August which is 3 weeks before then??

Cramps are normal though! I got my BFP a week ago and I've had loads of cramps

According to calculator I am about 4 weeks pregnant (first day of last period was around 27nov) which puts due date around 3-4 august if that helps Em.

My last period was 31st October - Halloween ironically!!

Oh! Thanks, I somehow got that completely wrong

Sorry to see allchat and loopyla are out. Take care ladies.

I rang the GP yesterday, they don't want to see me. Sent DH down to the surgery today to collect the bounty pack....suppose I should see what is in there. I know I need to ring and book a midwife appointment for 8 - 10 weeks.

Saw the other day that pregnant ladies should have the flu jab, so I guess I need to sort that too.

I feel the same as a lot of you ladies, haven't told anyone. This week have had a couple of conversations with close friends where I have had to lie to them, feel awful but am told going to be telling them until after the 12 week scan. Not sure if we will even tell the parents before then. Christmas is going to prove tricky...not eating cheese and no drinking is bound to make people ask.

August is the worst month for me to have a baby due to work commitments but we knew there was a possibility of it when we started clomid but we weren't prepared to wait or stop and start again.
Have a few holidays booked, skiing just after Christmas...hmmm not a great holiday choice. Another holiday where I would be on the line of needing a fit to fly note. And another for would be when baby about a month - guess we cancel that one.
Work, holidays, general life so much to think about and consider!!

Sorry to hear that loopy :( I am panicking, I have got low back ache, normal or could it be the start of mc ?
