October 2016 babies

[kittyvet]

Wow! First here. Well actually mine #2 is due 30th Sept by dates but as DD was 10d late I guess Oct is the place to be. I was in Oct 14 so Oct 16 seems to be the right place to be. Anyone else?

Shrop - I thought that too! So many teachers around here!

shrop yes... works out better as you don't miss out on summer pay. Plus don't have to leave a class half way through the year.

I'm part time primary. I teach reception and didn't like living my little ones after a term last time.

Just ran 7k!

Sorry shrops

Lol shrop! It is very nicely timed.... missing an academic year is much easier for the school but also at the end of maternity leave you can return to work just before the summer, then go on 6 weeks holiday on full pay
My dd was unplanned but everyone thought she had been planned because the timing was so good (she was due mid Oct but actually arrived in half term) I went back to work in September but they put me on random bits of admin work etc rather than giving me full classes (I teach in a sixth form) because it worked out easier for them We deliberately started ttc this one in December to aim for a similar time but have to confess I didn't think we'd be so lucky as to conceive so quickly

Ohhhhhh. Gotcha. Extra congrats for the teachers for perfect timing! Ten out of ten!

Lisa, I'm with you on the wind, it's constant. That and the crying are my only symptoms.

More symptoms than I had last time I might add.

Agree with other teachers! It's less disruptive for the children and school as you don't leave mid year and works out brill with hols as well!

Same as the other teachers with holiday/school year plus teaching little ones I see first hand that Autumn babies on average do better at school. Not all, but we wanted to give our babies that extra chance if we could. We were pleased and very surprised to conceive first time again though as I am still feeding ds1, we would've just kept trying of course but the timing is good.

Diahroea and my first little sick yesterday. And so tired but that's more to do with my toddler I imagine. It is reassuring in a way.

Hi all please can I join you ! Over the moon after getting my bfp over the weekend .
This will be #2 I have an 18 month old (July 2014) Really wasn't expecting it had little to no symptoms except mildly sore boobs which tbh I thought I was imaging. No more tired than normal either but had a couple of strong positives last night and this morning so fingers crossed.
Edd is 10th October . I also work term time.
Need to catch up on the thread but anyone else not got too many symptoms yet?

Sorry ilove you baby I missed your post last scan. Better luck next time
Only problem with Oct babies is busy maternity unit! Apparently always busy Sept/ October as 9mrhs after Xmas! Never planned that last time or this time but there you go!

allhallowseve I feel completely normal.

Oh no to busy maternity unit!

melonribena That's interesting about the allergy advise - I should probably start to do some reading too, as my DS has a milk allergy from birth. He grew out of it around 2 years old, but if something as simple as a probiotic might help stop this baby having any allergies its worth a try!

Catching up after weekend from hell...

Welcome and congratulations to our newbies paige, Dragonfly, Grumpel, Lollie, eve - think I've got everyone in there - we're only part way through the October EDD month and we've got tonnes of us already!

ILoveYouBaby - not sure you'll read this, but if you are there, I'm so sorry for your loss. Much love to you and yours.

Bloody hell we're resplendent with teachers here aren't we!

How are we all feeling today?

I had my first real wobble yesterday, I had a lukewarm bath and felt so strongly like AF was about to start, starting panicking and convincing myself I was MC, OH was dropping DSS back to his Mum's and gaghhh. I also had panicky sicky moments - I have emetophobia so the whole morning sickness/nausea thing is a big deal for me. To be honest, think it's more the fear of being sick in front of people than being sick sick. Once I'd walked away from the throngs of people Sunday shopping I relaxed a bit.

Everyone else is a bit crampy, backache, my boobs seem to get sorer and then stop being so sore, I still don't feel totally overcome by pregnancy yet and still struggle to feel its real! And I still have that fecking head cold

I'm so sorry, Iloveyoubaby.

Goodness, there are a lot of teachers here!

I went to see my doctor today. She's given me a form for free prescriptions, which is most exciting, and told me that the reason I keep feeling dizzy is low blood pressure. Do any of you know if the blood pressure gets better? I feel like someone in a Victorian novel, coming over faint!

I hadn't thought of the busy maternity units. You're right, though, I found this: www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/september-has-been-the-most-popular-birthday-month-in-england-and-wales-for-the-past-20-years-a6778026.html The end of Sept and start of Oct are the very busiest times. Oh, dear!

Oh, also on the topic of symptoms, do you all have a super sense of smell suddenly? My colleague's salad smells gut-churning from the other side of the office, and for some reason our A4 envelopes reek of sour milk. A couple of nights ago the most beautiful scent, like gooseberries and slipper leather, drifted over the bed. I asked DP if he could smell it, he looked at me like I'd lost my mind.

My sense of smell was strong before I got a headcold isthatpoison - if something is very strong I get a whiff but the cold is so bad that I can't smell and taste properly!

Oh, I've had the dizzy feeling - it's bizarre, it's not like I feel weak - it's like a travel thing, when I'm walking about (especially if quickly) I feel like my eyes can't keep up, and then I feel all giddy. I have low blood pressure too, so maybe connected for me also.

Bleurgh I had no symptoms really up 'til now. I've just had to get off the tram after one stop to be sick and once I make it to the station I've got a 2 hour train journey then the tube to get home.

I hope everyone feels better than me!

Oooh, not nice sound - was it you that had the awful commute? Is this normal?

The commute I mean

My normal commute is ok, but I live in London and work up North one day a week. I should have known the morning sickness would hit today!

I could get out of it if I told work but I really don't want to tell them this early.

Hoping Boots in the station have some sea bands!

Oh no sound hope you get home okay with no more sick.

Sorry to the people who are feeling sick or dizzy. Hope it doesn't last too long for you x

I'm out too.

Good luck to the rest of you. Hope you start feeling better soon
