October baby bus #2

[MrsEvansAlmost]

Hello new thread to chat on as we filled up the first!!

Hoping on board! Due 26th October!!!!!!!

Congrats mushymummy!

I feel bad today, hubby said to me this morning he is upset that I don't seem excited and don't seem to want to talk about the baby at all. I did say that I hope that the amount of worrying I am doing shows how much I care but I have just been so scared of getting swept away with it all only to find that there is something wrong. Next scan on 7 March where I will be 9+1 and I really do think I will feel like I can get excited then - he is worried that I still won't. I feel awful for him because he keeps trying to talk about it and I will give one word answers and change the subject. We will never have this time again (as in first child) and I know I'm spoiling things for him but I'm just so worried about it! 10 days to go until I can let myself go If all is OK that day maybe I will suggest we go and buy a little babygro or something to celebrate.

Oh stinkers sorry to hear that you're worried - as others have said I am sure it is fine, all the reading says that a bit of bleeding is very common and as you just have a bit of brown blood and no bad pains or anything I am sure it is nothing to worry about but I would def go to the docs just to set your mind at rest

no change today - no more no less than yesterday. I feel uncomfortable I my abdomen area but nothing that I would consider crampy. I'm at work at the moment but having bouts of tears so not quite sure whether I'll stick out the rest of the day.

Aww I would get yourself off to the docs - I am sure it is really nothing to worry about but you need reassurance or you're just going to be upset. I had a day last week where I felt really uncomfortable as well so I tried telling myself it was a good sign of things growing and stretching. Hope you're OK, go and get some reassurance that everything is fine.

Right today I don't feel pregnant at all. Boons totally back to normal, no bloating , no nausea. I am actually tempted to cancel mw booking in appt tomorrow as feel a fraud. I did take a cheapie text yday and it came up straight away but that doesn't mean all is well. I just have a very bad feeling & think my worrying about other stuff may have affected baby. I can't afford the £60 to have a local private scan at the moment as go on holiday Saturday and that's cost enough. If I feel the same when we re back next week I think ill go for one then.
Or maybe I should keep the mw appt?and see if she can alleviate my worries and maybe book another scan?

Hope you feel better soon Stinkers.

I feel like shit. I just want to stay in bed but have loads of work to do before returning to work (PT teacher) tomorrow and I have no idea how I'm going to manage to teach, feeling like this.

I had the same from 6-15 weeks with DS and managed to teach full time but I didn't have a toddler to look after at that point! I just want a couple of days to languish in bed.

Can't take the next 7 1/2 months off can I? Please? Or at least until the nausea subsides.

Moan, moan, moan - sorry ladies!

*boobs!!

Keep mw app alien, she'll probably try to reassure you and it probably won't work but better that than missing it and having to go back into the system and wait for another.

Could you be worrying as a form of self-preservation? Not wanting to believe in case (v unlikely) something does happen?

I can't remember when they start doing the little Doppler thingies. Just a heartbeat would be nice, wouldn't it?!

alien definitely go for your appointment and hopefully she will put your mind at ease a little bit. Make sure you let them know just how worried you feel and see whether there is anything they can do to reassure you.

I still don't feel at all pregnant either other than sore boobs - no other symptoms whatsoever despite sitting her trying to convince myself I feel nauseous

Hope you feel better, it's such a horrible feeling when you're worrying. A few days ago I had a couple of hours where I was SO convinced things had gone wrong that I could barely hold a conversation with my mum. But now somehow feel a bit better even though nothing has changed!

Thanks ladies.i don't know what it is but just so worried. I think with no.2 it's different as I really want dd to have a sibling and I have way too much time to think. I'm not that much of a positive person either so that's a massive downfall of mine.
Will keep appt and tell mw how I feel about it and hopefully she ll be a nice one. I had horrible experiences with mw with dd. The first one came to our house (2 bed gorgeous little terrace cottage) and she said " I presume you ll be moving"! I couldn't believe the cheek!

omg alien I can't believe the mw would say that! They must go to some awful houses so I have no idea why they would say that. Hope this time your mw is nicer.

I also don't know why I am so worried - I think I just can't believe that things would go smoothly for us given that soooo many people have problems. My best friend had 3 mcs so I think that's made me worry a lot. My sister in law had a baby last year and said it never even crossed her mind that something could go wrong, I would love to be more like that.

I am usually very laid back so this is pretty out of character for me - I honestly do think I'm trying to prepare myself for the worst so I can deal with it better if it does happen. But I have promised myself I will be better after 9 week scan. Hope you can get some reassurance.

Hi ladies. Can I join the group? I meant to say hello when I first got my BFP three weeks ago but time has run away with me and I can see that the first thread has already been filled up!

I'm due DC2 mid October. Haven't seen a MW or doctor yet as my doctor's surgery told me to register direct with the hospital - but they've not got back to me yet either and it's been two weeks since I filled in the form. I'm feeling a bit in limbo!

I already have DD who is three next month. She knows I'm pregnant and keeps asking when the baby in my tummy is coming out. I keep having to tell her not to tell her childminder or anyone at pre school...it's going to happen though, isn't it?

I felt fine for the first few weeks but am now exhausted and the dreaded nausea has kicked in. I'm keeping it at bay, just about, with lots of carbs! Will be lovely to share this journey with you all. Hope you all don't feel too bad....

Batfish I double checked again last night and I am due on the 5th of October, I am not going mad!

Morning ladies, hope you are all feeling better and more pregnant today!

I have my booking in appt today MW is now coming to my house because their isn't a room at the surgery! she called this morning and I was so tempted to ask her to bring her doplar machine thing but bottled it! but I will ask her if I can have an earlier scan as I've done nothing but worry bean has died for about 2 weeks! normally quite pessimistic person but started feeling really negative because I want bean so badly!

worry doesn't help.. today I am pregnant and I am going to enjoy the excited feeling

Hello,

Sorry to all those worrying I try and remind myself when I'm having a moment that I have no actual reasons to think anything has gone wrong other than my over active imagination!

Has scan yesterday for reassurance - prev ectopic. All was fine one little blob with heartbeat!

Yes, sending a big virtual hug to all those worrying. Pregnancy is such an emotional roller coaster. Got everything crossed for you all.

Congrats toobreathless!

Congrats toobreathless & mushymummy

I'v got letter for first app with midwife on 25th March, i'll be 11+4 by then, so when will I end up having my dating scan ...

To those who are worried, I was too .. ended up having a scan at 6+3 and since I've been much calmer.. if you're really anxious, see if your doc will arrange it for you early..

Please don't judge me as I know it sounds weird but is anyone else slightly freaking out about the fact that there is another heart beating inside them? Reading about it has made me feel a bit funny! X

Right it seems like I am hopping on the bus rather late and have a LOT to catch up on!

Introducing me - 1st time (older) mum from Lancashire, NW England due on 10th October. I had my Mirena coil out after 17 years and was told it could take 12 months plus to become pregnant. I downloaded the Ovia app and never actually got to use it! First time and hey presto - baby! I'm also completely symptom free apart from these humongous knockers! I was a 34DD but I'm a 34F already! And I keep knocking them on things - which hurts!

If anyone is in the Rossendale area gimme a shout!

I'm off to catch up now!

ladypug no judging around here, we are all having various weird thoughts and concerns! I don't feel strange about the heartbeat generally but when I first heard it at the scan instead of feeling emotional I just thought oh my god that's really freaky!

Welcome auntiedee!

batfish

Thanks for the holler!

ladypug

I too was very, very freaked out!

Hi auntiedee!

I'm 6 weeks today and if the next 36 are like this I'm not sure how I will cope. I feel so sick all day but especially between 1-4pm that I'm getting no work done. Actually said to DH I'm not sure this baby malarkey is for me. I'm really not a wuss type either - think I've only had 2 days off work ever. Help!!! Oh and I'm not worrying about anything - because I feel so bloody awful I know bean is still there doing it's thing!
