Due in February 2017...thread #2!

[SkyLucy]

A thread for all of us who have very recently discovered we're upduffed, with a due date of the achingly-long-away February 2017. It's early days for us all so there's lots of good news, sad news, sage advice and never-too-silly questions.

Second thread already! First is here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/antenatal_clubs/2642653-Due-in-February-2017?

penguin that was my EDD with DD1 ☺️ A great date!

So today it was been ramped up in the feeling sick stakes. 6+5 and feeling queasy.

So sorry to hear that highhopes.

I had a private scan booked for Sunday but got the time muddled so it clashed with a birthday party. Rang them & it's now going to be tomorrow!! Feeling both nervous & excited.

Thanks everyone. I will let you all know how my scan goes next Friday morning but in the meantime I'm going to stay off this site - I hope you all understand.

Hazand which brand is your doppler? how far are you?? how exciting!! Great news for you
I met the midwife and she was lovely
Booking app done and I have my maternity notes
It says I have to carry them at all times?

I am Spanish and was applying for citizenship this year after over 11 here. About to get married too My baby will have two passports so if Farage is PM at least baby can save him/herself

6+3 and no nausea but a lot of very unglamorous runs to the toilet

Sweetpea I friend told me that she voted out. She said it wasnt me, but she did think there are too many people
I told her unfortunately I cant be her friend anymore and she is no longer coming to my wedding
Awkward

Good for you Evergreen! Can't people realise the impact of their decisions, especially when it directly affects their friends. So short sighted, better off vote "leave" to her I say.

I'm having a weird day today as don't have any symptoms whatsoever, after yesterday's meltdown, I'd quite like something as reassurance... I guess boobs are still sore but devoured a massive burger and feel fine. Oh well, have to take it as a good day maybe?!

ready that's so exciting!

ever how rude of her! I don't blame you at all for not wanting her at your wedding

high take care of yourself

Witch yes I am with you!! So I am 6+3 so I think ok so the stuff relevant to me is 6w but in some apps that 6th week is done and I am actually in the 7th week
Yes I am with you!!!!
Londongirl dont feel guilty, these are uncertain times

Highhopes I am so very sorry. Can you go home???

Kellz just read your post. I didnt intend to stand an argument here or offend and we can certainly keep mumsnet free of this political matters as this chat is for our pregnancies nothing else. What I said about my friend... Well it is different as she was my friend if that makes any sense

Welcome bubs
Spin glad to know

So sorry high, take care of you for now, don't worry about work.

I'm another one devastated by the result, and facing the very real possibility of redundancy for both me and DH.

I've been getting cramps all week, nothing major but just uncomfortable. So anxious about scan tomorrow.

Cee cee sorry to hear about jobs best of luck with scan tomorrow

high, sorry to hear that, sending positive hugs and cake to you
I'm finding the first 12 weeks this time even harder than last find. Maybe it's as I'm still on maternity leave so have time to think about it and maybe it's because i understand more this time about the potential of mc and the impact of it. I think last time i was in denial i was pregnant
Hope everyone has a good weekend, I'm off to devour some more of last nights Chinese!!

Is everyone STILL not coping with food?? I am firmly still not! xxx

Well the doctor didn't seem concerned. He had put my mind at rest and just said if I have bright red bleeding, a lot more of the brown or any pain then to go back or straight to hospital. Fingers firmly crossed from now on!!

Masweetpea you've just made me need a Chinese... Curse you!!

evergreen that is so shocking about your 'friend' if you can call her that. Everyone has the right to a political opinion but to voice it to you so offensively is just outright cruel...The Doppler is an Angelsounds (?) I think, god I'm rubbish! I won it on eBay for ten quid. I thought I was just over 8 weeks but now I am starting to wonder if it's more as I don't know if you should be able to hear anything so soon?? But I listened to my own heart and the baby (and OH for a laugh) and it was definitely double the speed and a little gallopy beat way down in this spot on the left of my pubic bone! We listened to what it was meant to be like from videos online and it was definitely that sound! Crazy! Xx

Just caught up!!

High I'm so sorry to hear that you've not had good news. I hope you've got someone who gives good cuddles

I'm about to go have fish and chips for tea. Bloody starving now I'm not panicking like hell!!

Hope you're ok High
Sorry to those whose jobs are at risk. Mine was at risk as soon as the referendum was announced. It was one of the reasons I decided to leave although I am about to re sign a contract to do freelance work for them so that may be off the cards now. I feel very angry and upset about it all. I think perhaps hormones are adding to how I feel.
Haz that's so exciting!
I got my letter through about my booking appointment today. It's when I'll be just over 9 weeks and on my birthday. Surely they have my details and can see that this might not be the most convenient day!

Hazand I was very polite and I said that she had a right to choose but unfortunately based on my principles I wouldnt be able to have an honest friendship anymore
I wished her good luck and that. But then she went all well that says a lot about you and stuff.
I just said I didnt want to argue and that it was my choice yes.

The thing is (maybe people here will have voted different things please dont take offence) that she knows I have been so stressed about this that it seems a bit tactless to tell me first thing this morning

Anyhow.

I saw the Angel sound one!! Oh my!! You can really hear?

Friendly I had my booking appointment today
It was 1 hour but it was really short I thought. So many questions about medical history that I barely got to ask any

I booked my next appointment at 16 weeks. That is 10 whole weeks away!!!

But early scan next week

FX for you evergreen. You're in my thoughts, hoping against hope you get good news next week. And good on you for your reaction to your 'friend'!

haz you can detect the heart beat from as early as 6 weeks.

Thansk CeeCee

haz, my midwife detected the heartbeat at 8 weeks last time, so you definitely can hear it this early x

@Highhopes - Sorry to hear your news.

I too have to go back for a scan on Friday.
Have been bleeding since yesterday lunch time and myself and DH went to the EPU first thing today.
I had prepared myself for the worse as this is exactly how my m/c happened in Nov :(
A scan shows a gestational sac of about 5 weeks (my dates are correct to be 8 weeks) but no metal pole. Continued bleeding means I'm in the process at the moment of miscarrying AGAIN
:(
Am so annoyed I have to wait a whole week now because of protocols at the hospital needing to make extra sure before I can have the operation to remove any 'remaining products'.
The whole thing is traumatic, emotional and a rollercoaster I don't want to be on. So cruel!
Thank you for the few that have sent kind messages, it really does help to hear empathy and warmth when going through something that no one fully understands unless they too have unfortunately experienced this loss.

No fetal pole

highhopes and hopefor I'm so sorry that you're both having to go through this. Sending you love.
