June 2016 Babies

[nehagarg]

Anyone else with a super faint BFP showing a due date for June 2016?

Got a barely there, second line on Sunday but has taken me this long (and 6 more tests ) to accept that I am finally pregnant again after my mmc in April. Sooooooo excited. Anyone else on the preggers boat with me? :)

Oh congratulations lemons - first try, wow, lucky you! We were trying since April but because my luteal phase was only 7/8 days it was flipping hopeless. First month on progesterone though and bam!

I know! It feels like a dream! DD is 3 so keeps me busy so far, but I am so bloody tired all the time! I'll have a good read through the thread later so I can swot up on you all

Morning everyone!

Tink I'm in the North West too!

Lemons hi from the other thread! Congrats!

Mrsmugoo we started trying in April too!

How many tests have people done before stepping away from the tests? I did an IC on Friday and a FRER on Saturday, didn't test yesterday an want to double check today that the line is still there! Got the other FRER and a morrisons test in the bathroom cabinet. If they are ok and the line is getting stronger I'm going to try to resist going down the CB digi route!!

Also when are people informing their doctors? I'm 4wks today from LMP. Should I wait longer or call the surgery today?

I think if all goes well, we won't be finding out the sex. Think a surprise will be really lovely after labour. Also we plan to have more than one child so main items like prams will be neutral colours anyway so they could be used again. Also means two lots of names lists and we get to look at all the cute baby stuff, not just one section! And I would worry they might have got it wrong anyway.

Hi Violet! waves

DH doesn't want to tell anyone for a while. I am fine with that, but I am going away at the end of the month with my mum and sisters. It was going to be an amazing weekend of cocktails and murder mystery. But now I won't be drinking!! They will notice, no doubt. WHAT DO I DO?! DH doesn't want me to tell them yet. I am hoping that I will be throwing up so I have no choice BUT to tell them (sounds awful, but I can't lie, especially not to my mum!)!! WWYD?

Have added myself to this

If you definitely don't want to lie to your mum, then maybe just tell this to DH. Say that you won't go out of your way to tell them, but if they outright ask you "are you pregnant" then you won't be able to lie. How many weeks will you be by the end of the month? would you be able to get an early scan before you go? Would that put DH mind at rest about telling them? x

I think the reason he doesn't want to say anything is because he wants us to enjoy it on our own. I think I'll do what you suggested. Say to him that if I am asked outright then I won't lie. Orrrr, I might wait until a week before and then ask if I can just tell my mum (sharing a room with her and she will have my back) in case I am throwing up in the bedroom! I will be 8 weeks (almost) when we go away.

I wouldn't tell people too soon myself. I've only said it to my mother as she knows since miscarraige in May we've been trying and she poured me a glass of wine at her house over the weekend and I said nope. She knew then. She's a bit annoying though she had a worried face because I've just taken a promotion in work so she said 'oh right, gosh', implying I'm a bit mad after taking this job so I cut in and said I'm entitled to be pregnant and work a promotion. She said 'of course' then but her first reactions can be so annoying at times. Then she told me about her friends daughter who just had a miscarriage, lovely. DH was in the background rolling his eyes.

Anyway, i'll add myself here. I stayed up till midnight last night and I was worried why am I not tired, but then I remembered I stayed in bed till ten am that morning, still though, I am worried about everything!

I am almost five weeks so not doing another test for a week.

I won't be telling any family or friends until after 12 week scan as I know they will be disapproving rather than happy for us, my mum especially. Bubs is due 15th June although I suspect scan will move me forward a week and I will have elcs at 39 weeks but DH goes away for 9 months 20th June

Welcome lemons and Violet and congrats!

Violet, I tested once on the day I found out (Friday, 25 September) and then twice more the next day. I tested again today, just because I wanted to see if the line was darker. It was, so I won't test again unless I have worrying symptoms (I still have 2 tests left). I've just got the cheap tests from Ocado (£1.49 for a packet of 3) and won't invest in anything more expensive. I can't believe how much some tests cost!

I had a blood test this morning, private healthcare here in Singapore is great (because they charge you $$$$). Hcg level is 460 now and have to go back on Wednesday for another one. If it is up to 1000 I will have a scan then, at not even 5 weeks! I suppose it will be reassuring to (hopefully) see the sac is in the right place, because I'm sure there won't be much else to see. Last time I had the scan at 8 weeks and the embryo had stopped growing at 6 so I think I'l be nervous until after that time and until I see a heartbeat.

I've told a few friends because like nehagarg said, I'd need the support. Not feeling too sick yet but wasn't really sick with my DS. Unsure about whether we'll find out the gender yet - I think it'd make it feel more real but it might be a nice surprise in the delivery room. Plenty of time to decide that though!

I hope everyone gets some good nights sleep. Pregnancy insomnia/ being woken by babies or toddlers sucks. Well done to those of you having both those and working!

BiffleRoo, why would they be disapproving?!

I dont look at the thread one morning and there are almost 2 pages to read through .. we are quite a growing community. Welcome all newbies and congratulations. June is going to be quite a month!

Violet .. I did 7 tests (6 in a span of 3 days and 1 a week afterwards) before I trusted them.

Fiddledeedee . I had an early scan too at 5w1d to investigate some bleeding but seeing the sac in the right place was very reassuring. At least one headache ruled out. Its always nice to be able to see whats going on though nothing is 100% reassuring. Not for me at least. Waiting extremely patiently for my 7 week scan on 13th oct ..... Are we there yet?

Hi Voilet (waves) I thought I was the only one up in the North West I'm near Manchester.

Hello to everyone else.

I've only tested once that was enough for me but I did think should I get another test to see if it has gone from 2-3 weeks to 3+ which I think it should have now but then I'll panic if it hasn't.

I might regret saying this but I wish I was feeling a bit nauseous then I would actually feel pregnant as at the moment I don't, I don't think it's completely sunk in after trying for so long.

I do want to tell my mum and sister and have been tempted to but I think I'll leave it a little longer. They both know of our struggle but I haven't spoken to either of them about it for a few months. I know my family will be happy for us but not looking forward to telling OH's family but they can definitely wait until after 12 weeks.

Anybody exercising while pregnant? I've always worked out anyway and since DD started full time school last month I decided to go running once a week as part of my exercise routine. I would have gone today if weather wasn't so bad. When I say run it'll be more a gentle jog. I've done a work out dvd but taken it really easy & then did some yoga stretches again taking them easy. I need to dig out my pregnancy exercise DVD from when I was pg with DD. Although I felt so nauseous with her that I couldn't face much exercise, I ended up giving up my gym membership early on.

lemons DS was a very challenging baby and I struggled. My family are over 100 miles away and DH will be away for most of the first year. Mum made it clear she didn't think I should have more than 3 and my friends all think my marriage is too unstable for another! Just want people to be happy for us but know all we will get is grief

Littletink, I'm planning on running for as long as I'm able to, although I'm taking it down in speed, distance and frequency (I generally run at least 5 times per week... This will have to change). That said, I got a bad cold on the same day I found out, and haven't been able to breathe well enough to run, so I've been walking for 30-40 mins every day instead. I was meant to run in the Royal Parks half marathon this Sunday, but have obviously had to withdraw.

I do yoga, but pretty sporadically. If I go to a class, I figure I'll just tell the teacher and they can advise me on what not to do or any adjustments to make.

I just want this cold to go away!!!

LittleTink ... i run too but have dialled it down since finding out I am pregnant. And on hold at Gps request until 7 week scan is past but plan on running until I can and then swimming/yoga until I can.

Also, I am in the same boat as you. No morning sickness. No nausea even.

I'm still going to the gym 3-4 times a week, for the first couple of weeks I took it really easy but now I'm back to doing what I did before just listening to my body and slowing down when I need too.

I'm 6weeks 1 day and I think the nausea is starting to kick in today

Hello again ladies... thread been busy over the weekend hasn't it?!
We are going away next weekend with my parents and are going to tell them as there will be wine and beer involved and they will see straight through me!!! They will tell me I'm crazy as well with DD only being 9 months old! I think I am crazy!
Had an early scan at EPU with DD at 7w due to spotting. Hoping for not having that stress this time too!

Hope anyone with stresses is coping ok and to all who had bad news over the weekend.

BiffleRoo that's so horrible for you. I'm sorry to hear that. I'm happy for you though!

Welcome to all the new joiners and I hope everyone's still enjoying the mysterious 4am phenomenon...

I went in for an internal u/s today and they saw a sac but nothing inside. EDD was adjusted to 28 May (please don't kick me out!) so it might be too early but I'm really quite downhearted about it all right now. Next scan on Tuesday afternoon and I'm supposed to be leaving on a workshop the same evening... not feeling very optimistic right now!

Hi lepudding ... I am so sorry to hear you are feeling down. Waiting until the next scan to see if there have been any changes is not the best news to get and you automatically start assuming the worst. I know, I have been there with my mmc and even now I am in the same(ish) situation as you. Was 5+4 with an empty sac and am waiting to go back for a scan on the 13th, expecting to hear a heartbeat.

On what basis did they change your EDD? Did they tell you the sac size? If you got a report, it should be listed on there.

I told my boss and small team today. We are a close knit bunch and if anything went wrong I'd want to tell them. My last pregnancy wasn't plain sailing and they were great. Not telling anyone else other than our parents at the mo.

Looks like I might get an early scan now too - I phoned the doctors office to get my prescription for more progesterone for the rest of the 1st trimester she she says the doctor likes to do a scan at around 6.5/7 weeks. So I might actually wait until then before we tell anyone.

Hi all,

I got my BFP on Friday after TTC for eight months - it was a bit of a shock as I gave up on the "It'll definitely happen this cycle" optimism some months ago. Super-nervous as it's early days - we've told my parents as we went to theirs for dinner last night and I had to decline not only wine, but rare roast beef (not like me at all). I was pleased to let them in on it though, as I spent the first two days weeping and stressing, and somehow letting someone else in on the news has made me feel better, and tentatively optimistic. I'm still struggling to use the words "baby" and "pregnant" in relation to myself, in case anything goes wrong. Seeing the doctor on Weds and part of me is expecting to be told I've made it all up! But I'm pretty sure that three pregnancy tests can't lie.

I see there are some keen exercisers on this thread - I'm a fitness junkie and hoping to continue with my routine for as long as possible. I'm a sweaty exerciser though so I'm a tad fearful of overheating, particularly in spin class, and I'm a tad unclear as to the etiquette on things like abs and weights in early pregnancy. I'm hoping my body will tell me what I can and can't do.

Congratulations to all who have had good news x
