September 2017

[ADuckNamedSplash]

Hi all - looks like I'm first here! I'm pregnant with #1, due 2 September. Got my BFP a couple of days ago and already it feels like a rollercoaster ride - I'm utterly thrilled, anxious about the possibility of a loss and terrified at the thought of the birth! But hey, bring it on!

Plus, it can't have been that bad because here I am again... and the boys will only be just 4&2!

I'll have 2 under 2 (DS will be 21months when bump is born). I'm a little nervous about juggling them but super excited about DS having a little one to play with when he is old enough too. I shall be looking for advice on the juggle. In the meantime went to bed at the same time as DS last night - I'm nervous about the next few weeks and the wall of tiredness I'm going to hit.

Welcome to the newbies

Tri I feel exactly the same. This was an accident for us too. DS 10 months and I was breastfeeding. The first sign I thought I was pregnant was him rejecting my boob, it must've tasted different or my supply dropped or something. broke my heart, I cried when he refused me seemingly out of the blue and wouldn't go back. Then I got my BFP a few days later. There will be 18 months between DS and this baby and I also have DD who's 3. I feel sad for DS that his babyhood will be taken away and also I'm a SAHM and genuinely am at the edge of my capabilities 90% of the time just keeping my sht together looking after two. DH and I have no help as parents live miles and miles away and we just about manage, just. I have absolutely no concept how will will cope with another baby. Oh and we just bought a house outside London which is a big move and a new start for us And* that needs a full renovation which is due to start in a month or two. This year was the year of the move and us hopefully trying to get our lives back a bit.. now we have no idea what we are going to do. I'm sure it will be one of those things that works out but I am a planner and both of my previous pregnancies were planned precisely as most things in my life so this is really out of my comfort zone for many reasons!

Trijo I was also on the March 2016 group!

To those asking about the badge, I started wearing mine today because I'm getting dizzy spells and nausea is bad when I travel. Had no issue in people giving me their seat.

Sorry to hear about the pregnancy anxieties. Today I finally bit the bullet and looked at what my maternity allowance would be. Not good. I'm the main earner and we can't afford to take that hit after 6 months. Which means a very short maternity stint for me and DP will need to take over. We're going to look to see if he can get another job and see how that works out but I think I already know the answer...

Lucky you Pink I'm hoping commuters have got more sympathetic since 2014!

Hello ladies.
Coming to join! Bfp today. Due date 24th sept!
Will be out second

Hello! I got my bfp at the weekend so the baba is due late September around 25th.

Mouselove - i remember you from conception forum. So i take it you had some luck? When are you due exactly? I am 5 weeks tomorrow and have had hardly any symptoms too!

Ps this is my 1st too!

Tri and Here, in the same boat! Moving to a new county, finished our house building which is in year 3 now, DS will be 23 months when this one arrives. Terrified, what have I done! DS is easy so god knows how it's all going to work out. Even worrying about Christmas! How I pack up a house, sort a new one out, try and meet some people and try to keep up with DS is beyond me currently. I really wish I had lost weight, a good stone up on last time and feeling it. Cross with myself. And trying to not worry this little one won't have any problems. DS had a serious condition we knew about and pregnancy was not fun. A 1 in 50 chance this one has it too :(

Unreasonable I moved city with my 24mo and 9wk baby and then 5 months later we moved half way around the world. It's doable, you'll be fine!! X

Sounds like I'm not the only one finding this stressful!
Some brown spotting for me yesterday and today and quite bad back pain. Think I know what this means for me as this would be my 4th mc (have two dc) but trying to stay positive.
Called EPU today but despite my history they won't do anything - just said I need to wait and see what happens - patience is not my strong point!!
5+5 today

Starwish thank you for your encouragement.

Almondbiscotti yes we've been TTC since August. I'm due 4th September and 7 weeks today. I got my BFP on New Year's Eve. X nice to see you here too, I remember you too!!

What a day, ladies i've reached an all time low.

Fuzzy brain is BAD.

I live just over an hour drive away from my work and this evening I got halfway home before realising i had forgotten something...I had left DS at nursery and forgot i was picking him up luckily I got back to him before they closed. WTF. My only defence is that I thought it was Tuesday (DS stays at Nanny's Tues)

The Worlds Worst Mother Award goes to...

Oh wow kskit that is not good.

I have fuzzy brain too. Thought it was just lack of concentration, but last night I accidentally wiped a full hard drive of old photos, documents etc. Today I forgot my lunch and ran a red light without noticing 😂. Nowhere near as bad as you though, here's hoping for a good Tuesday and rest of week. Good luck x

Baby brain... maybe it is a thing. I can't even get peoples names right. Kskifred.

Fingers crossed popcorn x

At least it wasn't late I guess (5.30) but the fact i got the days muddled up is just not cool. Lack of sleep is also getting to me so with that i'm taking myself off to sleep.

Ksk I did that without being pregnant once!!!!!

I'm also suffering from "baby brain". On my first day back at work I was introducing my new assistant to my work colleagues (bear in mind I've been in this company for 2 years). When I was introducing her to one of our directors, I completely forgot the director's name and I couldn't even pretend. So embarrassing! I speak to this director on a weekly basis, I can't believe I've done that!

Goib nightmare!!!!

popcorn Keeping my fingers crossed for you. I know how hard it is just waiting to see what happens when all you want is to know either way.

Joining you on the wedding front....our best friends are getting married abroad and looking at my dates I'll be 36/37 weeks so won't be able to attend..DH is best man and DD is flower girl too although at least they can still go. I then have my DS wedding where I'm bridesmaid 2 days before what I think it my Due date in a location 4 hours from home . I'm holding off telling anyone at all about this pregnancy until after my 12 week scan but I can imagine there will be some mutterings about it all... Ah well!

Fx everything will be fine and its a false alarm popcorn

This is a busy group isn't it (although I think September always is!!) welcome to all the newbies!!

I took a clear blue digital this morning which showed 2-3weeks..this made it feel more real!

Fx for sticky beans for all of us
