Mummy- is that a challenge? I think I could do that in revels alone!

CarrotVan · 02/05/2015 15:59

Are you in parts foreign then, coffee?

For those needing to reduce caffeine remember caffeine withdrawal causes headaches and makes you feel awful so better to taper it off than just stop.

#1 son has a bug with a high temperature so I am double knackered

Cazzybaby · 02/05/2015 16:07

Thank you crumble! We are due date buddies!
Carrot - hope your little boy is ok!

TeaandCake91 · 02/05/2015 20:42

3 and a half years of ttc, several fertility tests, a bucketful of tears, 2 tesco own brand tests and 1 cb digital - I AM IN! Literally cannot believe it! Edd 1st Jan according to a random app Dh found last night. Please may I join the party?

loveulotslikejellytots · 02/05/2015 20:59

Welcome teaandcakes, especially after that journey! Congratulations!!! X

Cazzybaby · 02/05/2015 21:21

Congrats tea and cakes! You must be over the moon xxx

coffeenut · 03/05/2015 02:10

teaandCake fabulous news!! Well done and congrats - yes please join us

I'm a bit anti-decaf ... bit worried about the chemicals. I do need to cut down though - will find some water decaffeinated stuff. I sometimes drink Caro (which is like pretend coffee made from cereal so not caffeinated) .. to be honest without any caffeine, I think I would fall in a heap.

Yep carrot I'm in oz now. I had DD1 in London and joined mumsnet then. Your poor ds1 - hope he feels better soon. I hope you dont get it either. How many DC do you have, I forget?

originalusernamefail · 03/05/2015 04:21

Hi everyone please can I join? Just taken a FRER and CBdigi (like to be sure) and estimate I am about 3-4 weeks pregnant due around 10/1/2016 . I wish I could be more certain but due to fertility problems I haven't had a natural cycle for more than 15 years, only testing to check at the end of the month. This will be DC2. Here's to a healthy and happy pregnancy for all.

mrsfazruns · 03/05/2015 07:03

Hi originalusernamefail ..... Congratulations!!! Your due day after me!!! Wishing you a sticky bean!! Do you have any symptoms yet!? X

bearchomp · 03/05/2015 07:19

Welcome originalusernamefail cazzybaby lookingand teaandcakes huge congrats to you all - tea sounds like that's been a journey for you, bet you are over the moon!

Hope everyone is doing ok and carrot how is your DS today? Mine has woken up in a grump and full of a cold - the joys..... Would try for a snuggles and dvd morning but the boy is like a duracel bunny, never blummin stops even when ill!
Anyone else not sleeping? I woke up 6 times from 10.15pm thru 6am and one of those times I was awake from 2am until 3.30am.

Mummyofonesofar · 03/05/2015 07:23

Congratulations original wishing you a happy & healthy 8 months!

And you teaandcake what a hard journey for you! Congratulations lovely.

CarrotVan · 03/05/2015 07:51

Just the one coffee, he just turned 2. He's fine in himself as long as we keep up the painkillers so it might just be teeth. Although 39.2 seems awfully hot for teeth.

Welcome and congratulations to everyone new

I had a tiny bit of brown spotting yesterday. I'm assuming it's nothing, maybe the placenta burrowing in?

Embolio · 03/05/2015 07:57

Aw well I'm out this time, looks like a chemical pregnancy for me. Sad but I kind of suspected when my lines didn't get darker and mentally prepared myself. Wishing you all asafe and uneventful 8 months

CarrotVan · 03/05/2015 07:59

So sorry embolio

bearchomp · 03/05/2015 08:02

Sorry to hear that embolio

TeaandCake91 · 03/05/2015 08:16

Morning all and thanks for the congrats. We are over the moon but also a bit sceptical, it's hard to believe it's true. Think I'll feel happier when I've seen the doctor - does anyone know what happens at that appt? Do they just confirm it and refer to the midwife? Carrot I've had tiny tiny bits of brown spotting on and off since my period should have been due and still positive tests so I'm fighting it's nothing to worry about although I can't really help it!

Mummyofonesofar · 03/05/2015 08:25

embolio so sorry to hear that xx

tea my appointment was pointless, just said I shouldn't smoke (which I don't) or drink (which I wasn't) and eat healthily (which I do) then gave me the number for the midwife - didn't refer me herself or offer me a test at the surgery!

CarrotVan · 03/05/2015 08:34

I just self referred to the midwives this time. You might be able to do the same by getting the phone number from the GP surgery. With my first I saw the GP who looked nonplussed, asked if I was happy (I guess otherwise he'd have counselled about my options), congratulated me and gave me the number for the midwives. He said GPs don't really get involved unless there are pre-existing conditions and medications that might need adjusting.

The midwives didn't test me either although they did take blood for other purposes. You could easily get to your 12 week scan with no-one checking you're actually pregnant

TeaandCake91 · 03/05/2015 09:40

Looks like I'll be buying another test then! Just to check ?? I think I'd be happier if I was being sick as at least I would have some proof (I do know I will live to regret saying that! )

CarrotVan · 03/05/2015 09:56

Morning sickness often doesn't kick in until the placenta takes over supporting the baby - 6-8 weeks. With my first I only threw up twice

coffeenut · 03/05/2015 09:59

sorry embolio I hope you get a sticky bfp soon xx

39.2 is high for teething carrot, probably has a mild virus as well?

loveulotslikejellytots · 03/05/2015 10:37

I keep thinking that teaandcake91! But then I think in a few weeks I might regret saying that!

So far just a bit queasy, that comes and goes during the day. I've been more tired than usual but then I can't sleep very well. Not sure why but I'm finding my bed really uncomfortable. I might go into the spare room tonight and see if having the whole bed to myself makes a difference!

Sorry embolio, I didn't read all the replies before posting xx

originalusernamefail · 03/05/2015 11:47

Sorry Embolio that's awful news . Mrsfaz my only symptoms so far are nausea, vomiting and exhaustion, unfortunately the meds I'm taking treat the infertility problem have the same side effects, everything just seems to be increasing by the day . Looking back I started vomiting at 4+1 with DS and didn't stop until 40+6 when he was born! Currently crossing everything that it's better this time, all I did last pg was work, sleep and cry, and I have DS to think about this time. Hope everyone else is doing well.

Cazzybaby · 03/05/2015 12:07

So sorry to hear Embolio sending you hugs xxxx
