Due in July 2007

[RH]

Hello All

Hope I am correct in beginning a thread for July 07. BFP today (23rd October) and EDD 2nd July 07.

By way of a brief introduction; live in the South West, work part-time, have DD aged 5 and DS who is almost 3. Have been incredibly lucky this time as made decision to try for third and hey presto seem to have achieved it on first attempt (much to DH disappointment if you know what I mean!!).

Look forward to 'meeting' you and sharing this amazing experience with you.

Cyee - have also got the trapped burps feeling driving me made. Last time i tried Gaviscon but I hate the taste of it and it made me feel worse. I was going to look tomorrow to see if there were any new flavours!!

I am presuming you drink the hot water?!

Yes - I have indeed been drinking it I asked the midwife today if she's recommend Windeze or anything like that and she said nope - just peppermint water or warm water. Hope you find something that works for you

Hi everyone, I have been lurking for about a fortnight on and off and finally plucked up courage to say Hi. I figure i'm about 7wks pg now. I recently had a miscarriage - this pg was straight afterwards. I have one ds who is 1 year old.

Just wanted to add a couple of things I have found out in case they help...
one is that I started taking Yakult recently (probiotic drink) and my M/S disappeared! It wasn't really pronounced before but it was like a constant background thing. Now of course I am worried that I might have miscarried to have caused that too, but other symptoms such as constipation ugh have continued. Also I searched on google and it seems that some people do find it helps with morning sickness - so I'll just throw that out there in case anyone wants to try. i think the key might be to take it first thing too though. Well not before you get out of bed, but before you eat anything else.

Also someone was worried that MS is supposed to mean a healthy pregnancy but I would like to add that my recent miscarriage had the most awful morning sickness starting at 4wks - i almost threw up and had to down bucket loads of ginger tea! So don't worry if you're not feeling sick! Anyway hope you didn't mind me sdaying those two things, and joining in on the chat.

Oh also, is anyone still breastfeeding and have you found that it makes a difference to your symptoms? My boobs are hardly sore at all - only when I thump them , and don't seem to have grown at all either they are very tiny as ds is only feeding at morning and night now.

Hi Beartime welcome to the club! Hope this ones sticky, there's loads of girls on here in a similar situation, as you might have noticed.

As for the breast feeding my sister was still feeding when she concieved her 2nd and 3rd children and each time just a little way into the pregnancy they effectively self weaned (she was a bit disappointed btw), but I know there are other out there who tandem feed.

As for symptoms just tired and ravenous get the odd twinge of nausea if i don't eat immediately but still nothing like last time maybe i've used up all my morning sickness quota on the first amd this pregnacy I won't get any????[ever hopeful emoticon]

Beartime I am still breastfeeding my ds (14 months) 3 times a day, and haven't noticed any change in my boobs. First time round they tingled and swelled but nothing this time. But I am starting to think the milk has changed a bit already (at 4 weeks) as ds doesn't want nearly as much. I am interested to see what will happen. Would quite like to wean him off before the birth but it might be difficult...

I beartime. Sorry to hear about previous mc. Hope everything is going well this time. I'm still breastfeeding. Was planning on going until DD 1 but now am having second thoughts. Noticed in the week before I took test that volume I was expressing at work was massively decreased, but that's about it.

Boobs not feeling any different, but still in nursing bras. Was looking forward to splashing out on nice bra for cleavage I never had before I was PG first time round.

Hi all

I have told the first work colleague this week, I was crying in the toilets about the fact I keep making mistakes at work and she was being all sympathetic and it popped out!

plummymummy interesting about m/s and tiredness because I didnt have m/s first time round and obv get less sleep now with 15 mo.

Bodkin I am making mental notes of things to do before no 2 arrives, I thought nesting instinct wasn't supposed to happen for ages

sorry gave up reading 1/2 way there seem to be so many of us

Hi beartime - congratulations, you posted while I was wading my way through the thread! I have been bf ds 15 mo but he bit me yest and it is too sore to bf - i was feeding one sided as the same thing happened on the other boob so think it may be the end of the bfing road

Hi BFP on 16/11/06 Think I'm due on 29/07/06. Only just July. So do I qualify.

Bit wary tho. had M/c in May and August.

Hi beartime, i'm in similar position, bf 13mo dd morning and night and my boobs don't hurt and haven't expanded yet either, i thought it was to do with bf too. Trying to wean her off the morning feed but it only works if dp is with her and i'm out of the room. Dp is working away from home for 3 weeks next fri so doubt i'll be able to wean her before christmas. as for the bedtime feed, she'll prob still be doing that when she is at school

oh Kyte, how worrying for you. Glad everything seems to be ok. It's more common than people think.

Oh Kyte - What a worry... V glad the spotting has stopped. As has been said though, it is surprisingly common. Let us know how you are getting on.

Firststar - Dont worry at all!! I didn't interpret your comments as thinking my question was stupid. I totally agree with what you said - like you I thought there wasn't much to this conception / pregnancy thing - how wrong was I eh?

Hi to everyone else and thanks for your comments on MS - I'm so so so happy that I dont really have MS this time (sorry to those who do) as I really suffered before. But, of course, there is that small worry as to why I dont have it this time. You have made me feel better though.

Oh well, off now to try to get my DS's shoes off his feet. We got him some new shoes today with the lights in and he ADORES them. Refused to take them off and sobbed when I tried. So he's gone to bed in them . He's asleep now so time for me to make my move.....

LOL about shoes Chooster. Had a browse in Clarks yesterday and nearly choked on price of shoes. There were some GORGEOUS brown and bright pink ones for girls though. Glad we don't need to buy any yet.

Thanks everyone for your friendliness and well wishes for stickiness - I'm not getting my hopes up too much until I see a heartbeat and we've told family, but not friends yet. I feel way too good to be pregnant - last time I was tired the whole time and felt awful for abt 8mths till they gave me iron tablets then I got a cold!

Hi Kyte if it's any help I had lots of spotting in my first pregnancy but no cause developed. Though I did find it happened after I walked too fast or lifted something heavy so I just took it easy each time. I have my doubts about what they say about heavy lifting etc not causing miscarriage because of it making me bleed last time. I did go to the early pregnancy unit and have two scans though which helped my peace of mind because they found a heartbeat at 7wks.

I know I've only been on this thread a short while and i'm getting personal. Had a heated discussion with DP last night over BD'ing ( although it isn't really now) I'm scared of it. I know it can't harm the baby but I want to give the baby the best chance.
What if it is only just hanging on and that dislodges it and we have to start again. He thinks I'm just being silly but will go along with it.
Not going to deny him for ever as he thinks but just till I get used to this.
Am I wierd or does anyone else feel like this.

TP, not sure what you mean are you BF'ing now?? If so i've never heard of it causing m/c however understand your caution and feeling of wanting to give your bump the best chance

Kyte good luck and fingers crossed, havent had any spotting but had the most awful cramps yesterday, think I had them in the night too and woke up from an awful dream about m/c feels horrible just worrying and the only thing to do is wait and see have everything including my legs crossed

on top of that developed a sciatic type of back pain yesterday afternoon spent most of evening nearly immobile fortunately dh is home and agreed to get up in the night (dd chose lastnight to refuse tea then woke teeting and hungry he was up @ 7 times hey ho timed it right at least

opps just reread your post do now understand what you mean [shy embarassed and naive emoticon](I blame placenta brain)

And as i said eveyrything including legs are crossed in devon

dorisofdevon, i think typhoonsmum means Baby Dancing (ie having sex) Typhoonsmum, i've no idea whether there is any basis in your fears but they are your fears and sometimes we just have to ask our partners to be understanding of our mixed up baby hormones. I'm sure you will feel better once you've had a scan and can see it is securely attatched and get back into action then

sorry dod, crossed post!

Typhoonsmum, I know what you mean. I've gone right off sex at the moment - just because I feel fragile and the thought of being bumped about just doens't do it for me right now! It's quite normal. I was like this last time, but then well up for it after 3 months. And in the last few weeks of last pregnancy, it was me asking for it, not him! By then DH was finding my body shape a scary prospect! LOL. At moment I'm just blaming general nausea. Apologies if TMI for a Sunday morning...
