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?

Can't remember if I already said on this thread but I experienced regular small bleeds (sometimes twice a week!) through both pregnancies and both girls are fit and healthy. I'm hopeful I don't have any in this one as I need an anti-d injection every time and that involves sitting round hospital for hours just waiting.

TBH, I can't imagine an EPU turning you away if you Turn up on their doorstep!

Hi oriana, I know it's hard but try not to worry. Our EPAU won't take referrals before 6 weeks but hopefully out of ours can help x

Welcome woodpigeon

I think I'm due 15th

I have

Sore boob
Some cramping at times
Feel sick in morning and evening

Hi all joining this Oct 2016 thread - still can't believe it as I only got my BFP this morning and I'm on 5+2. Will try to call to make my first booking appointment this week!

Nice to see some familiar names on here from the TTC boards

I'm going to phone up tomorrow to make a booking appointment , hopefully I won't have to wait til 8 weeks as I am unsure if so much bloating is normal!

Hello

I've just discovered I'm 4+2 if my dates are correct. (Irregular periods since coming off the pill). DH and I are v excited even though v early days. Does anyone else have a slight stitch feeling on their right side.. it comes and go.. not painful but different from period cramps. Thank you amd congratulations everyone x

Hi everyone, got told to join this thread so here I am lol. Am 6 weeks and this is my second pregnancy. First pregnancy I miscarried so very worried about everything. Can anyone tell me is it normal to feel slight discomfort in lower tummy?? Don't know if it's just constipation or something more serious? Only just moved house so not registered with gp yet!

Hi katy same as you my first pregnancy ended in mc. I'm 5 weeks now. I get that on my lower abdomen too it sounds like stretching pains?

I hope so! Every little thing is worrying 😩

Hi Katy! Yep, I get that too.

I think I've found that I'm just going to be paranoid until 12 weeks-ish (if not beyond), and I've just tried to accept that.

Not sure if I'm succeeding... I check my knickers every time I go to the loo!

Me too. Really trying not to get my hopes up because I'm scared but hard not to cause I want everything to be okay so badly!

With you too on the checking, all sorts of random aches, also keep feeling very damp
I remember last time thinking I'd feel fine after a scan, and I did, for a week then I was back to worrying!

Welcome Katy!

For me the aches seem to be when I've been busy and stop if I rest up , does anyone else find this?

I reckon I probably knicker-check on an hourly basis

Welcome to the newbies. I had those sorts of pains and cramps too and everything I've read online says it's normal. With my MC they were pretty intense and constant over a couple of weeks, this time I probably wouldn't notice them if I wasn't constantly symptom spotting and more often than not it's trapped wind! I don't remember any of this with DD but I was about 10wks when I found out, commuting 5 hours a day and 3 months away from completing my degree, so I was a tad distracted!

Yes afreshstart!! I had to sit down for ages after cleaning the kitchen today. I'm normally quite fit but it exhausted me!

Welcome newbies, I'm now 6+3 and this nausea is getting me down, have no motivation to do anything, feel sick from waking until I go to sleep and feel totally miserable. Tbh I would rather throw up for the relief it should bring. Any tips for dealing would be great! I'm eating little and often (constantly ), and I hate ginger. I have a stash of ritz crackers in my desk at work to overcome any sudden waves of nausea. The person I share an office with has probably guessed I'm pregnant as every time he looks up from his desk he's like 'you look pale and not well' and I'm constantly eating ritz crackers, which probably doesn't help put him off the scent! I know this is a sign pregnancy is progressing but I am feeling sorry for myself atm. Hope everyone else is having a better Sunday night.
Ps very jealous of teachers out there who are off tomorrow!

Hi everybody - I'd like to join this group if that's ok? This is my first pregnancy and we've been TTC for almost 2 years. It's a big surprise because we had a failed IVF cycle a few months ago and I wasn't expecting it to ever happen naturally . I tested the day I was due for my period and got a BFN then didn't test again for a week, as I was dreading another BFN!

If anybody has experience of having a cervical stitch in a previous pregnancy it would be good to hear from them. My consultant told me before the IVF that I'd need one at about 12 weeks due to a previous operation so I'm a bit nervous about that...

EDD 12 October. Symptoms so far: sleepy, bloated and having period-like cramps quite often, but no spotting/bleeding. Not told anyone yet except for OH so it's great to be able to talk about it!

Hello! This is my very first post on MN - I got my BFP on 22nd January (first pregnancy) and had an early private scan on Friday (couldn't wait) which dated me 6 + 5 and EDD 2nd October. Was very happy and excited to see and hear the heartbeat and be told everything looked as it should be I've been very lucky so far no nausea or sickness just constant peering and very bloated and a few cramps which I've been told are the womb stretching. I know it's still early days and it's going to be a long wait until 12 week scan but have my booking app on 29th so something a bit closer to focus on, it seems like this pregnancy is all I can think about, constantly googling everything and reading every forum (driving my DH mad !) I'm so happy but scared at the same time, came off the pill in September after 9 years and must have conceived in December so really a lot sooner than I expected. I have one friend who is due in August so I'm chatting to her a lot about her symptoms etc but none of my other close friends have children so it's nice to read about other people in the same situation. Just can't wait until mid March now and to get a scan date!

Nice to see some new "faces"

I'm constantly knicker watching/symptom spotting - next week is the week in my last pregnancy when bleeding started (although I didn't MC for another 3 weeks) so I'm quite anxious at the mo. Midwife on Thursday though, I'm counting down the milestones!

I hear you with the knicker checking esp since hormones are triggering more CM. Only 5+2 and 12 weeks seems an age away. My first pg was a mmc at 10 weeks.

I was quite happy, excited and feeling positive this morning but have noticed DH's cautiousness and it's had me dip down to worry and pessimism within a few hours. Damn hormones playing with my mind! Now feeling quite glum and mopey about it when I know I shouldn't be.

It's the opposite in my house, I'm the one bein cautious and dh is being super positive!

north I guess it's a good thing to keep the balance? Can't have both being too excited or both worrying. But gosh it is damn hard to be excited when I just see the look of worry in DH eyes

Morning all

5+2 today

Alarm went off at six for work and I'm just trying to ease myself out of bed. Feel pretty grim this morning and abdomen is tender, coughing hurts

I've never had a pregnancy go wrong but in a way this makes me worry. I think about the statistics, I once read something like one in three pregnancies ends in a mc and then I think well I've already had three healthy ones so it wouldn't be surprising if this one wasn't....

I dunno. It even sounds stupid. I did feel like this with my DC3 too. First two pregnancies I had hardly any worries. Now I seem to worry more.

Morning and welcome to new people.
Dd up before 6... sleepy!

Told my parents yesterday was all very lovely. Worked out that dds free nursery hours will kick in just as my maternity pay stops so that's good. Have to keep her at nursery during maternity leave.

Hope all at work have a nice day. Xx

Good morning everyone and hello to all the new people who have joined since I last posted (has taken me ages to catch up with the thread)!

It's reassuring to read that everyone is the same as me re: the worry and constant knicker checking! I'm 7+3 today and still feeling constantly sick, tired, hungry and have sore boobs. Last night I ate something which obviously did not agree with me as I has (sorry for TMI) the worst case of the runs I've had in a while. Made me paranoid I was going to miscarry but have told myself to stop being stupid and what will be will be etc... One plus side is my bloating is reduced and I feel super skinny today Off to Keswick for a couple of nights today; was going to do some trail running but looks like it will just be walking instead- my boyfriend is being protective bless him. I did go out for a run again on Saturday which felt good and I could have gone further than the 5 miles I did but was sensible and did it at a slow pace as well.

Got my early scan on Wednesday (because of my miscarriage and failed IVF history) so fingers crossed... Will probably not be back on here until then due to being away. Hope all teachers have a nice half term and for those people who are in work hope you have a nice stress free week
