March 2018

[MegsMog]

I have just got a (faint) BFP which, going by ovulation, would give me an EDD of March 2nd.

I recently had two early MC so I'm definitely not getting excited yet - but equally trying to stay positive and believe this one might just stick, hence starting this thread!

This would be my second DC, I have a DD who is 26 months.

Anyone else?!

Thanks @Whytheheck, so sorry again. Take good care of yourself.

So so sorry whytheheck. Take care of yourself. Of course you are devastated, and let yourself cry as much as you need.

Feeling pretty terrified. Had a little spotting and cramping this afternoon. I'm trying desperately to hold on to hope that it's still ok, but hard to not think the worst.

Rest up @DancingUnicorn, keep hoping you'll be ok, fingers crossed for you.

Please no more losses for this group at all! @whytheheck's loss is really getting to me, it's all just so horribly sad, poor little one.

Delurking from holiday to say I'm so sorry @ whytheheck. @dancingunicorn...I really really hope everything is okay for you

dancing please try not to worry! At 8 weeks with my dd i had a massive amount of bleeding. I thought it was a mc, the epu thought it was a mc and i was sent for a scan. I saw my wriggly little bean :) . I had two more bleeds after that every 3/4 weeks as it was breakthrough bleeding from when i would have had my period and was totally fine. Not all bleeding means the worse, obviously it's so worrying but please don't stress your self out xx

whytheheck I am truly sorry for your loss. Make sure you're kind to yourself and take as much time as you need to grieve.
I've raised my glass (mug of tea) to your little seed, I'll be thinking of you. Glad your dh is with you.
Don't blame yourself for not realising things were not going to plan, in this pregnancy I'm not feeling as I did last time and I'm worried too, but like you say I'm just being told I'm lucky and to not worry. It's what people say. You weren't to know. I really am sorry.

Xx

Thanks guys. I'm feeling calmer than I thought I would be actually. Trying to take it one second at a time for now.

@whytheheckme I'm so sorry to read the last couple of pages. Thinking of you x

Totally off topic, but is there a way to sort of 'bookmark' where I've read up to in a thread? Two people replied to me (thankyou ladies) and I didn't even know about it til just now and had to click to the last page and work my way back. x

I'm so sorry @whytheheckme

Dancingunicorn, everything crossed!

A lovely lady I met through mumsnet a few years ago sent me some superglue with a card today saying it was for a super sticky bean. I welled up!

Hi all, can I join too?
Got a BFP last weekend, EDD around 20th March.
I'm 29 next week and this will be my second.

I joined a thread on here last time I was pregnant and our group is still going 2 and a half years on (although now on Facebook!). Hopefully this group can be as great

@WhyTheHeckMe my heart goes out to you. So sorry for your loss. It's an edit situation and hope you have plenty of support around you

*awful

5wks and 2 days for me.
No symptoms other than sore breasts.
Anxious at the thought of miscarriage. This would be our first after trying for 1 year and 3 months!! Hope it sticks around.
Anyone else with no symptoms? Had 1st midwife appt today and she said it was normal and not to worry. I can't help it. I don't feel any different.

Morning! I'm enjoying a lie in while DH looks after DD, listening to her chatting away nineteen to the dozen downstairs. I have to get up fairly soon though as the landlord is coming over to look at a leak, and the house isn't 'ready' yet

Welcome to the thread, martinsgirl! I have high hopes for this thread, everyone is lovely

How are you today, DancingUnicorn?

Hi, tentatively joining this thread, 4+1 weeks today which would give me approx EDD 23/03/17. Hi to all the ladies already there and to those that have had disappointment or scares.

I'm 33 and if this one sticks will be my 1st, although trying to not get hopes up too much at the moment, got BFP after 1st month of properly trying, which is good but makes me feel that statistically things could well not work out.

Currently feeling a bit tired and dizzy, along with intermittent mild cramping and sort of general pressure in pelvic region, oh and needing to pee quite a bit already. Bit too early for nausea yet, but bit of a tang in my mouth so sucking endless polos!

Oops, meant 23/03/18 - good start!!!

Morning all!

I had a metallic tang in my mouth and a watery mouth for a week or so too although it's seemed to for down a bit in the past day or two.

I get a tiny bit o a symptom but then it does a bit and I might then get s tiny bit of another one. I don't seem to get anything strongly and it doesn't seem to stick around long. Weird.

Meant to be going to an all day pub thing with friends today but probably going to cancel as DH and I can't be bothered. Makes it easier for me if we do as I don't have to spend all day pretending not to drink and giving the game away. I had a lot of friends work out I wasn't really drinking, even though I was trying to be savvy (water in a beer bottle) last weekend & askong if im ok. I honestly dont knos how i will get to 12 weeks before im rumbled.

Welcome Jacqueje, just wanted to say that with my dd I got my bfp on my first month of trying too. It was a straight forward pregnancy, without many symptoms and I now have a 2yo bouncing around - so it can all work out fine.

@Summerblush1982 I'm 5+4 weeks today and my only symptom is sore nipples, I'm hoping it's normal too.

@SheSaidHeSaid love your idea of water in a beer bottle!

shesaid i would probably wanna stay home too, i couldn't be bothered trying to hide not drinking.. too much hard work and stress lol. I was supposed to be going to a work friend's leaving party tonight and I'm not going to go.
zyla aww hehe thats fab! I have 5 very good friends from mn who i met through dd's antenatal group and we have a whatsapp and chat all day everyday! At christmas we did secret santa for the babies it was good!

summer i kinda feel the same.. i just have sore nipples and full boobs and tiredness but apart from that i have nothing else really.. it's so disconcerting isn't it!
givemetea aww lovely, Jealous! wish i could have a lie in, dp starts work at 4 or 5am everyday 6 days a week and the only day he has off i start work at 8am anyway..Booo!

Welcome new ladies & Congrats xx

I'm abit worried... only abit though.
I did a clearblue digital on monday and it said 2-3weeks... did one today at what would be 21/22dpo and it still said 2-3w. It was fmu and i dno why i used that pee as i drank like a horse before bed and I've always found smu better for testing... i know i know i shouldn't be testing.. but I've tested everyday since my bfp on some type of test and im just stressing myself out. Grr

So on subject of trying not to get rumbled, I have a conundrum. In next two weeks I have two lots of work drinks where almost everyone there will be medical (i.e. very hard to deceive, even with metronidazole excuse). Although that will probably still be my fall back, probably along with a stomach ulcer if anyone asks, but will try to stick on lemonade and hope people just assume its G+T!

But also then next weekend have three days when we are visiting my SIL and her husband at their new house in the country. I can go with antibiotics for not drinking - they're slightly younger so haven't really had any friends with babies yet so hoping they won't suss. However they also usually have habit of bringing out lots of cheese including gooey brie etc. I am massive cheese lover, especially the soft and slightly stinky variety etc (already feeling miffed that it's off table for next 9 months!) and can't think of any reason why I would not be eating any, plus if I eat the other cheese I will need to start checking if it's pasteurised (fair chance they will go buy some unpasteurised stuff from local farm shop etc), think with that and not drinking they will totally suss me out!

Anyone got any bright ideas for declining cheese? Only thing I could think of is I'm going on detox but I feel like that would be a rude thing to do when you're going round someone's house for a weekend. If someone said it to me I'd be thinking why couldn't you do this the week after you came to ours????

Thanks for reassuring words @northernbelly fingers crossed you're right. I have a friend who had a similar experience to you, but am a doctor so see disproportionate amount of women who have problems so always think the worst until proven otherwise, then think I won't be disappointed!

I should probably say at this point that am posting things as expectant Mum, not doctor, and can't give advice to people online. Sorry if that sounds formal but can get in trouble with GMC for doing that!!!

I'm going to my graduation on Thursday, and the uni department will be providing some prosecco for us. I'm going to say that I'm recovering from a stomach bug and can't face alcohol yet.

The cheese issue is a difficult one - could you say that you're having issues with lactose? It's quite common after that virus that you're about to come down with this week...

Givemethetea, that could work, I would just need to make sure I'm consistent though, knowing me I'd trot it out after having just snaffled down a helping of trifle with extra cream!

Welcome jacqueje. Understand the formal doctor comment! We'll be good and not ask you for advice!! Hope your journey is smooth. It's a tough one on the cheese. Some sort of recovering from illness and not being able to face it. My hope is always that even if people guess they are tactful enough to not bring it up!!

Thanks givemethetea. No more spotting overnight. Hoping that's a good sign!

Thanks dancingunicorn (btw excellent name choice!) Good news that your spotting has stopped, keeping fingers crossed for you.

Yes hoping people will be tactful, am sure work colleagues will guess but probably not say anything. My SIL might not be able to contain herself though, she's an excitable soul, although v sweet. Think recovering from virus is my best bet, might ask DH to drop it into conversation if he speaks to her before we go.
