[WinterBabyof89]

A thread for all ladies due in November!
Come & share your symptoms, lack of symptoms, pregnancy announcements and have a good chatter along the way!

Happy & healthy 9 months to us all

Stats: winter, 25, baby #3, EDD 01/11

feeling naseuos again this morning. its mil's b'day tonight not sure what my no alcohol excuse will be. lent will never work. everybody knows i have zero will power

I won't be able to relax until I have a baby in my arms - so sadly can't feel any relief at knowing my chance of MC decreases every day, which is a shame... I got to the finish line & still got fucked over.

But 4+6 today - had a nagging pain In my right hand side since my bfp so will be going to docs this week to see if they can refer me for a scan to check that it's in the right place.. I just have a bad feeling which I can't shake, but I guess that's only natural considering everything.

Hope everybody has a lovely weekend & good luck to all those meeting family and having to excuse drinks! Stick with a story and play it out..confidence is key!

rough that's amazing that you didn't find out until 22 weeks! DS must have been tucked up well!! Are you a tall person, so had a lot of room to grow into?

Amanda sorry to hear about your friends in ICU..horrible to think that not everybody recovers from illness/injury - you & your friends are in my thoughts.. due some good news definitely!

tiny must be nice to have your dates through.. A real date to look forward to... I've been through the calendar and worked out key dates.. Can't wait for them to arrive..

In an odd place with wishing time away - I really want to speed up time so that I can just have a baby & skip the drawn out pregnancy bit (but still enjoy all of the perks, baby kicks, hear heartbeat, etc)! But my DS starts school this year, but he'll be a young 4 (Late spring baby).. & I'm not ready! Come around so bloody fast! I just want to keep him in preschool for another year.. Ha..

Mammoth post.. Hope you're all well!

ann thank you :)

I forgot to say congrats to all those who've joined the thread!! Wonderful that you've all got lovely bfps!

winter no I'm 5ft2 and was very slim. Developed a big bump overnight once I found out.

Told my parents today, was so so nervous and just had to get it out. Going by LMP I'm 6weeks but I know that's not right.

Tentatively joining this thread. Have 2 ds's followed by a spontaneous mc

Welcome loopy ! Sorry to hear about your past losses and problems. It does sound scary. Fingers crossed for you!

So totally get the constant sense of something might be going wrong. I am on knicker patrol all day. A sore right nipple, breathlessness when doing something, and cramos after sudden movement are my only symptoms and I am hanging on to them for sheer life! So sorry for those here after a loss, can't imagine it.

Welcome loopy all fx for you that this one is the one to make it..

I had a pinky brown discharge last night following a throbbing pain in right hand side all day. I've never had any discharge like that in previous pregnancies so it scared the life out of me.. I ordered a much needed Chinese to distract myself, put on a pad and hoped for the best.

Had nothing since that little bit when wiping so part of me thinks it's just embryo embedding.. Hope so anyway..

Have a nice Sunday my fellow pregnant ladies!

winterbaby. hope all is well.

Happy Sunday all!

4+2 today - found out a week ago, and it seems to have dragged. Symptom-wise my boobs are still growing and hurting, and I am shattered, and this morning I had to get up to eat as I felt a bit bleurgh. We told the in-laws on Friday night (we are currently living with them whilst we find a new house) as MIL poured me my customary very large glass of wine. This will hopefully be there first grandchild so they were really excited.

It all still feels unreal, and am petrified something will go wrong. I have had a dull ache on the rhs of my pelvic bone - dh immediately panics and thinks ectopic.... it has eased now but i think from memory i had this with my boys, and assume itis just little bean bedding in properly and things stretching.

I have done so many tests now it is ridculous, but getting comfort from seeing them drken. Apart from the CB digi with weeks which still says 1-2 weeks. Going to buy some more today - FRERs for progression and two CBs to use tomorrow and next Monday to hopefully see the weeks tick over not that I am obsessed or anything

Morning all,

6+1 today and feeling bleurgh. Not complaining (makes a change) as I had some cramps and strange pains last night which scared me a bit. The thought of having to try another 2 years for a BFP is unbearable.

Dinner with the friend went well - I said I'd given up drinking due to Lent and she "oh, sure" and that was it.

She sooo knows I'm pregnant.

WinterBaby, I've read the thread properly this morning and I'm so sorry for the loss of your DD. I can't imagine how scary yesterday was for you and I hope everything's ok today.

ann I've questioned whether I have a UTI because the last few days Ive felt the need to pee even when I don't need to go.. Def doctors on Monday to have a check I think.. Thanks for reminding me that a UTI could be the culprit.. Fx

crumbelina haha @ your friend obviously knowing you're Pg... Hope she keeps her suspicions to herself ha! I told my BF before I told my DH but only because she's one of the best people ever & was amazing when DD died.. even though she was & still is in Oz travelling! My other friends don't know & won't until much later on

kep glad that the tests are getting darker! I've not done a test in over a week but you've inspired me to do one later today if if get dressed at all today ha

cish how did MIL's birthday go?

5 weeks today.. I've always changed weeks on a Sunday in previous two pregnancies so hope that they don't change my dates at 12 week scan if me & embryo make it that far a silly little tradition that I hope can continue ha

Oh & thank you ladies for your acknowledgement of DD (don't know how else to phrase it).. I'm not a self centred person but it plays a lot into how I feel this time around.. Much like those ladies who've had MC I imagine, or tried for a long time to conceive - it's like you have more riding on this pregnancy to be successful.
I hope that we all graduate to postnatal groups together at the end of the year & can coo over each other's babies xx

well my mum guessed straight away. to be fair though she had been asking everymonth since we started ttc in sep/oct. my very loose lipped dh got very excited though and told a few people so its been the worst kept secret ever

Morning team november!!

I too am testing daily to track progression, using internet cheapie,but like you winter if i get dressed i will pop to town and get a dig to see if it moves from 1-2 to 2-3. MY GP said to expect mega cramping and spotting, and to take paracetamol as it will feel that intense. Or not. You could have no cramps!

My DH is away, left yesterday back & thursday and i have never felt so vulnerable as no one else knows so if anything goes wrong i have no one to call. DH is not in mobile coverage in the daytime so i am getting myself into a little panic. MUST pull myself together or this will be a long 8 months! I have house cats but changing the litter is a chore! gloves, bags, spray, washing gloves, cleaning bin lid, washing taps , poor cats! DH is now in charge of that from now on in ( when he returns)

I am telling my mum at a posh tea in London on Mothers Day - 15th March!How did you all tell yours?

crumble totes that your mate guessed. My best mate texted me on friday night after drinks to ask if i was ok as i left early as i was soon tired. i just said work is crap and i was sleepy. She totally guessed. Even with DH buying me 'tonics' and calling them G&Ts!

AGH home alone and i am going mental obsessing!

Any Preg mags or book suggestions?

toots If it's your
first pregnancy (sorry, can't remember!) you might get a pregnancy textbook and early years as well. I did with my first - don't know if it's something they still do? Can't remember how far in they gave it to me, but it'll have been towards the beginning. Might be worth seeing if you get one of those?
I remember buying a baby name book for my first - complete waste of money because there's some fab name websites nowadays, but it was still nice to buy something baby related!! Go treat yourself to a baby mag :)

Hello everyone, lovely to read all your stories and see how everyone is feeling! I've not been online much the last few days as since weds had cramps and bleeding, attended EPU on frisnd had bloods done to check my hcg levels on the understanding to return today for repeat bloods... Anyway, I received a call yest informing I was booked in for a scan this morning at 10.30am which had us convinced I had indeed miscarried and the scan was a formality to confirm.

We walked out an hour and half later having been told we are carrying twins!

We both just spent the last few hours looking at each other and bursting out into fits of laughter... I feel a micture of a hundred different emotions at the minute. This morning I was convinced I was no long pregnant!

Sorry for the rambling message everyone, I guessin still in shock.
I look forward to reading your updates and being on this journey with you all

Omg usernamedilemma that's freakin amazing!!!!
Massive congrats on having not just one, but TWO babies in there!!
So pleased for you guys.. and slightly jealous

wow username congratulations. lovely news

Bloody hell, Username - that's incredible!!

I can't begin to imagine the swing in emotions you've felt in such a short time period. Getting a bfp is a lot to get your head around - this must be mind-blowing!

Good god I just read back my last message, how many typo's! Sorry!
I can't begin to explain how I feel right now!
Thankyou for your lovely messages though.

username bloody hell what an incredible emotional roller coaster! mentally huge congrats!!!!!

winter yes my first, got a mini mag called emma diary but that is (to me) a bound book of advertising and patronising one at that.

toots In addition to that, I got a thick textbook.. I'ma see if I can dig it out of DS memory box to remind myself on what's in it. Might be worth asking about at your next appt?
Wonder if that book - 'what to expect when you're expecting' is any good?

username forget about the typos... We honestly don't mind - brilliant news.
