September 2015 Ante-Natal thread.

[DastardlyDachshund]

Hello ladies. I got my BFP (bloody faint positive in my case) on Monday and am due on 3rd September. I couldn't see any other threads for next September so thought I would go ahead and create a little home for us over the coming months. Merry Christmas to all of you finding out about your extra Christmas Present over the next few days .

oxford and anyone else who can get to it! That would be fab.

I recently met up with a friend from my first antenatal thread for the first time - she lives in the southern hemisphere! it was v exciting

Well I'm in Scotland so can't join in - ah well, anyone else up here? Will you be wearing the MN scarf to identify one another

thanks still we were shocked but weirdly I knew it was going to be our month and I just knew at 6dpo that I was pregnant. Went to the Dr to have it confirmed and he was shocked it happened so quick, I swear he was looking at me as if to say yeah I'm sure you got pregnant that quickly, are you sure it's your husbands

Laughing at some of the cravings ... Chips soaked in vinegar!! I have moved from white bread to liquorice all sorts ... Already gained 4 pound!! And I'm 5 weeks next few days but enjoying eating everything I can ! X

I'm in the Manchester area! Any north west mums here? Xx

HaveTea I'm in Scotland up in Dundee didn't move back to Belfast after university, where a outs are you? I'm originally from Northern Ireland! Still trying to decided weather to move back when baby is born or not!

Another Scot here! I'm just outside Glasgow

Found out were expecting our second last wee- Think im due around Sept 15th
Really excited but a bit nervous. Our first is 20 months - kinda feel ive gotta get on with potty training (although Im not sure shes quite ready) moving into big girls bed Anyone in the same boat?

Im 27, 5wk 3, and im from Kent

I'm a north west mum ktd. St Helens.
can someone update the spreadsheet for me. I have an early reassurance scan booked for 22/01/15. Thanks.
Still not many symptoms here today. Just sore boobs and tiredness still.

I'm very north - live in Stavanger in Norway! I'll just wave across the North Sea at you Scots
Lived in Reading before moving here.

I'm in North London. Not far from Oxford really: my baby brother is there and my parents visit often.

Did a cb digi today. 2-3 weeks which is correct (will be 5 weeks on Saturday I think. Or tomorrow). Got a 2 pack so will do another this time next week and will be happier still if it says 3+. DH is fretting as much as I am. Not sure how we will manage to wait till a 12 week scan! Come on reassuring morning sickness, where are you? DH is convinced that it must be a girl as my symptoms are so different from with the boys.

No pains today, so that's good. Had loads of energy yesterday, I did a big garden tidy up which I should have done at least a month ago.

Well still no sickness here (5+1) but just had the most awful period type cramps and the feeling of an upset stomach that had me rushing for the loo but nothing happened. Could feel my face going white and tingly I felt so ill. 5 minutes later it's gone!

Got home to my scan appointment. 10th March. That's ages away!!

Choccyhobnob, feeling exactly the same! I even went to the doctor earlier as I've been feeling awful and had pains all over my stomach and lower abdomen, and spreading to my bum since tues eve. She made me feel a bit silly and basically told me I'm very anxious and need to relax and enjoy myself

Off to meet old friend for dinner just now - send me non-sickie vibes so she doesn't notice anythings off. She has real form for hounding people about being pregnant despite me telling her it's not on . Really wanted to cancel but worried I'm just getting worse and I can't put her off till March!

Bonzo77 I'm north London too. Whereabouts are you? I'm Bounds Green (near Muswell Hill)

havetea Natalie and booboo I'm in Scotland too. Just south of Glasgow.

Puddle yep 18 month old here so already thinking when might be good to transition to bigger bed but she's teeny tiny and finally sleeps really well after a year of terrible nights! She seems close to being ready to be potty trained which is really early but then she might not get to the fully ready stage for ages and would rather not do it till she is! I'm also anxious about coping with the tiredness and sickness esp now she appears to have dropped all naps!

Anyone here from the July 2013 antenatal thread?? Won't give you away, honest

Hello ladies. Anyone remember me?! . Blimey, you guys can chat! Nearly 900 posts!

Anyway, I have been off the thread for a while as I had a bad early scan experience. My dates should have been 6+4, but the scan only showed a sac and a fetal pole with no heartbeat. I had to wait a week for a repeat scan to determine whether my dates were actually out or whether I'd had a missed miscarriage.

Went back for the scan this afternoon (after spending all week shitting myself) and hey presto, there was our tiny blob with a little heartbeat. It was magic. I'm now 6+3 so due on 7th Sept. Squee!

I'm not going to be able to catch up with all the chat but I hope everyone is well. I'm also going to do a name change soon as I've posted a lot of stuff that could out me recently and I can't be arsed with that.

Much love, looking forward to getting into this thread again

GinFace I had already stalked searched your posts as I was wondering and hoping things went well for you today and I'm glad you've come back. I'm really really for you!

AG I'm in Finchley, not far at all. Where will you have the baby? I'm going to the Whittington, where I had my others. Assuming I get that far.

Just found a photo of the cheap test strip from last Friday. Yesterday's one is far far darker. That's good yes?

Amazing news GinFace, really happy for you!

ginface glad to see you here

I've been too scared to come on here but taking the plunge!
First Pregnancy, 30yrs old, 6+2 today, due 8/9/15
Had a scan on Tuesday and saw a little heartbeat
Hyperemesis has now set in :(
