Hi everyone,
I've decided I'm going to do it, I'm going to ask to join!
I'm so embarrassed about this but I've been a terrible lurker... I've been reading this thread on and off since my bfp on 27th December!!!
I get a bit funny about these things though...I am now very worried I will have jinxed the whole thing but I'm trying to tell myself to get over it and not be so bloody stupid!
So I think I will be due some time between 2nd and 6th Sept (was having cycles between 29 and 32 days so not sure).
This will be (hopefully!) dc2. Currently snuggled on the sofa watching The Railway Children with ds (3 last weekend) who is the loveliest little boy but was a TERRIBLE baby so quite anxious about the whole thing. He was 11lbs at birth as well and I had a horrible traumatic time of things all in all so anyway, you may be able to understand why I have put of ttc no.2.
This is perfect timing for me though as I am a teacher facing redundancy next academic year so hoping the redundancy pay-out will equate to any maternity I would have got (I work part-time) and I won't be required to go back afterwards. I think this is part of why I am so worried about jinxing things...it really is such good timing.
I thought I would be a lot more relaxed this time round but I'm really not...I keep looking up private early reassurance scans but then try to tell myself what a waste of a hundred quid it would be. I'm much more symptom-y now- have a bit of nausea and aversion to food (certainly not like me- I like my food!) as well as the tingly boobs, mild crampy pelvis and also increasing cb digitals from 2-3 weeks to 3+ weeks.
Anyway, sorry for mega-post an will try and add myself to the list but for now my stats are:
ag123, dc2, due 2nd-6th Sept, age 30, N.London
