June 2018 Babies

[ladydolly]

Looks like I'm the first one here! A thread for those with babies due in June 2018.

Congratulations to everyone 💐

I'm really struggling with morning sickness past few days. It's waking me up at 4ish, and can't go back to sleep with nausea and diahorrea (tmi 😳). Then it's on and off waves of nausea all day. I have a real fear of being sick too. I only ever had low level nausea with my first and I'm starting to stress about this. I need energy for running around after ds1! It could be a lot worse I know. On the positive side I haven't had any bleeding yet whereas I had it all the way through with ds1 and by now I'd already been into my local EPU twice.

@Newbietwo i thought I was the only one as I feel nauseous and have diarrhoea sorry TMI. This only kicked in yesterday and has made me feel awful, including the lower tummy cramps. My boobs are aching and are so heavy. And same here I still have to get up, sort out the house and prepare for the week as I have a DD.
I hope it gets better soon

Welcome to all the newbies.

My nausea has definitely kicked in to all day nausea and sickness now. Been feeling queasy and the occassionally being sick since week 4 but I turned 6 weeks on Friday and was sick twice, 3 times yesterday, once already today eurghh. I had awful all day sickness and nausea from 6 - 28 weeks with DD and the sight of chicken made me sick which has already started this time aswell (started around 13 weeks last time) so I'm guessing I'm going to be sick for the next few months. I'm the plus side I do find it a reassuring sign

I’m getting a bit of nausea but it didn’t kick in with DD until 6 weeks so I’m expecting it to hit again soon.

Morning everyone. How are you all today? Can I have a rant? Had a row with FIL (who is a bit of a misogynistic dinosaur) last night because he wouldn't let me carry something down the stairs in case I tripped and fell (it wasn't heavy). I told him that I am an adult and perfectly capable of deciding what I can and can't handle and that he does not know what is best for me. He disagreed and was quite a bully about it. DH later admitted that he agreed with FIL and that because we had a miscarriage last year he doesn't want me to take any risks.

I'm a bit pissed off about the whole thing - like he doesn't think I'm taking this seriously or that somehow the miscarriage was my fault. I'm now wondering if DH is going to be oppressively wrapping me in cotton wool for the next 34 weeks. It's not like I was horse-riding while drinking neat tequila, ffs! I was feeling very happy and positive about this pregnancy and they've succeeding in making me feel quite down and anxious today. I wish we hadn't told PILs! (We have only told parents, no one else.)

Rant over! Thank you for listening.

Hi ladies...
First time on a Mumsnet thread (recommended by my best friend who is definitely a little bit obsessed with it)... and first time pregnant! According to first day of last period I’m 5w2d & due 8th-ish June. Very new to all things pregnancy so trying to figure my way through the acronyms & symptoms. Really hoping everything sticks & is ok, my OH (other half I’m assuming!!) 😂 and I are very excited but quite nervous of anything going wrong. Have had daily cramping but it is light and intermittent. Bit of right sided pain in the same place most days which again, isn’t bad but noticeable, almost like stitch pain. Told my GP and she said it was most likely nothing but to call if it gets worse - really hoping foetus has stuck itself in the right place... tbh though I have been super windy 😳😳😳 since finding out so hoping it’s just digestion related!!

@ImogenTubbs poor you, that sounds a bit frustrating and stressful. I know it doesn't make it any easier but I'm sure it's just because they care and are worried about you and the baby. It must be a bit strange for men who have no real role / input / control at this stage. Deep breaths!!

My DH was like this for about 24 hours after we found out. He even hung up a load of washing saying I needed to rest! Unfortunately it didn't last long and I'm back to doing everything now 😂

Morning all! Hope everyone's got something nice planned for the day. Will probably be cleaning here - since we moved from a tiny London flat to an actual house in the North I feel like all I ever seem to do is feel bad that things have become messy... Better get used to it eh?

Panicking (surprise surprise) a bit this morning as my boobs suddenly aren't sore. Dr Google is not being kind on this one :'(

Friday's HCG results were good (went from 65 on Weds to 151 on Fri) but obviously it's now Sunday and where the heck are my sore boobs? Ergh!

4w 2d today. Please stick little Splat, I want you :(

Welcome @squidged - it's my first time on Mumsnet too.. Although so far my contributions have mainly included complaining about how I feel and panicking about symptoms Everyone has been absolutely lovely though. I've had a similar pain to you but on the left side so totally sympathise with the worrying. I've actually booked an early scan for three weeks time (which still seems a world away!) so if all is still OK by then then at least I'll have some reassurance.

We're all in it together - this stage is so bloody stressful..!

@drRbannerx to join the FB group email boofay on [email protected] (hope you don’t mind me repeating boofay!) and the group is totally secret.

Rant away imogen! It's what's behind the 'help' from fil though isn't it? Try not to let them wind you up too much. DH is trying to help, maybe explain how it makes you feel.

We went out for the day yesterday and the drive was about 1.5 hours, I nearly didn't make it, I felt so sick. I was in bed before 8 again. I feel so guilty, this morning dd was begging me to play with her but I had to just say I didn't feel well enough. Poor love. She's only going to get less and less attention now :( DP has taken her out today. He's not a particularly sympathetic person (he's lovely and kind don't get me wrong) so he's being more practical in looking after dd and letting me have a rest.
He's away 2 nights this week and next weekend and then I'm away for work as I've mentioned. I just don't know how I'll get through it. I couldn't move this morning and this trip involves long car rides, a flight, long days and being on my feet the whole time. weeps

With DD I felt sick more or less the whole time but was never actually sick. I don't know I'll get off so lightly this time.

Hope you're all ok. sulky I know you know this but symptoms come and go, I've had days with nothing and then back the next day.

I had some depression in my late teens early 20's but not since but I'm always aware of it and have to actively work to keep it at bay. I didn't get PND with DD and I fully expected to so it's not a given. In fact I felt my most peaceful in the months after giving birth. (thankyou breastfeeding hormones) however I am experiencing a lot more anxiety with this pregnancy, not about losing it so much as just general anxiety and not sleeping, worrying about everything, being more emotional. Got to keep an eye on it!

Hope everyone has a restful Sunday with as few loo visits as possible :)

No probs @Caspiana!

Just got back from my early scan. All is good, measuring slightly ahead. Heartbeat seen and heard so feeling a bit of relief! Got me at 7+1 now, but I've always gone over due so will stick around here if that's ok?!

Freaking out I did a CB test last Sunday morning and it said 1-2 weeks I did on everything again this morning and it still says 1-2 weeks. Really worried.

I know that we conceived on Sep 13th. So nearly 4 weeks ago. What should I do??

@Bunnyears85 I'm no expert but from what I know the sperm can hang about quite a while before actually fertilising the egg. Maybe the actual fertilising day was later than the 13th. Someone else can back me up if they agree. I'm sure I read somewhere it can be swimming around for up to a week before doing anything. Don't panic yet.

@Bunnyears85 don't panic, I'm told those tests are notoriously unreliable. Did you use your first wee of the day?

@Bunnyears85 It seems so many people have had the same issue with those tests - to the point that doctors and midwives have advised people not to use them! DP has made me promise to 'stop pissing on things' because it's making me crazy. Can you do a blood test to put your mind at rest?

@Boofay - congratulations! :) I'm so glad everything is looking good for you

I would never use CB, FR is my absolute go to test . CB have given people so many wrong tests and do things like not go up any more weeks ! Emailing for the Facebook group now x

Thanks lampert and ladydolly. Yes, you're right. I told FIL that if he really wanted to help he could clean the kitchen and not leave it to me and MIL (and DH) to do after every meal!

Sorry for those of you suffering with morning sickness. It sounds miserable. I've been quite lucky in that regard so far, although very tired and dizzy, and back aching a lot today.

Thanks @SulkyPuddleDuck ☺️ it is a worrying time, fingers crossed it will all go as hoped. I’ve got an early scan booked now for 7 weeks so two weeks to wait for that... not the most patient person in the world haha!

I’m trying to avoid taking my last CB test, I don’t want it to still say 1-2 weeks and cause me unnecessary worry! I’m trying to go by the rule that if i’m not bleeding or in severe pain then not to worry myself about it, just wait and see... easier said than done at times! Dr Google is the devil though and don’t want to make myself anxious reading worst case scenarios.

Sorry ladies, I need a bit of a rant too. We got a puppy yesterday (paid the deposit before we knew) and it was all for the DH despite me airing a lot of concerns about me being the one having to deal with all the hard work. And yes so far he has gone off and left me to do it all alone twice for hours on end. I am feeling incredibly anxious and regretful and guilty for the poor pup. I am barely speaking to DH and MIL has shown more concern over the pup than the pregnancy. I feel dismissed and unimportant and like my baby is even less important. I feel like taking the poor puppy back but I will look like the worst person in the world and I don't know what to do.

@Irnbrucraver - Eesh! What a strain! That seems like a really strange decision for DH to have made - was the puppy a gift from MIL? It seems bizarre that your opinion on the whole thing wasn't valid. Can you not adopt the attitude parents adopt when their kid wants a pet? {IE: 'If you want one then you clean it/walk it/take it to the vet/clear up poo etc}

If it helps at all to know you're not alone things are strained between DP and myself at the moment.. I'm barely speaking to him either (long story and not worth going into but he seems more concerned with bringing up rows from ancient history than interested in our potential child... coupled with the sudden lack of sore boobs following a massive row last night I'm feeling absolutely distraught.)

• that should read 'wasn't considered valid' - apologies, my brain is effed.

I’m in the midst of cooking up Thanksgiving dinner and I feel wretched. DH is running interference and has taken the houseguests out for a run (who has the energy for that?), DS is napping (after a night of vomiting up the Hipp Organic toddler meal that obviously did not go down well at all), and the house smells of turkey, which normally I love but today makes me want to hurl. And I can’t complain too loudly because then the houseguests will know what’s going on. DH is being wonderfully supportive, but I really just want to curl up in bed.

What a spoiled brat am I?!
