September 2019 babies?

Do we have any September due dates yet?

This one came as a big shock for me. I had my coil out on 30th November and must have conceived pretty much straight away. Considering it took quite a long time to get DD, the BFP was a big shock!

This one will be my third!

Morning everyone Smile.

Really interesting to hear how everyone’s doing, sympathy to all those struggling with strong symptoms. I’m still twitchy I don’t have any really, tried to do a CBD yesterday to look for 3+ and reassure myself but got it too wet and had a book error - such an idiot Blush.

I’ve left my details with the GP to pass to midwife but don’t have a booking in appt yet. Is there a consensus for how long I should leave it before chasing?

@stroan
There is 3 yrs 7 months between me and my brother and we are very close and played together all the time as kids. I am biased but think its a lovely gap.

Megan2018 · 20/01/2019 10:21

@Fortheloveofscience
I am 6 weeks today and still pretty symptom free. Bigger boobs that are a tiny bit sore. No nausea. The odd twinge, but if I didn’t know I was pg it wouldn’t be noticeable.

user1466690252 · 20/01/2019 10:26

Mine will be 7, 3 and then newborn. The jump from one baby to two knocked me for 6, it was much much harder than having one and it took a while for me to enjoy being a mother of 2. I’m hoping a third slots in easier Than the shock of a second child did

daydreamdaisy · 20/01/2019 10:53

@Fortheloveofscience I'm twitchy about lack of symptoms too, just slightly sore boobs and knackered here. The slightest touch of nausea sometimes but I find myself jealous of all the vomiting people which is ridiculous Grin

KnobJockey · 20/01/2019 10:59

15 years age gap here, had DD at 18. I've got sore, rather larger boobs and I am constantly STARVING. I mean belly rumbling in the middle of meetings when Ive eaten an hour before hungry.

MyBreadIsEggy · 20/01/2019 11:32

I’m usually almost totally flat chested - previous DCs ate what little norkage I had, and I was left with deflated pancakes....but now I’ve got voluptuous, melons, that just happen to be very sore Sad
And I’ve spent the morning vomiting.
What a way to treat myself on a Sunday morning Hmm

TwittleBee · 20/01/2019 11:35

Anyone else been super dizzy to point they pass out?

MyBreadIsEggy · 20/01/2019 12:02

Twittle in my previous pregnancies yes! I actually did pass out a few times when pg with dd - but I had hyperemesis as well as very low blood pressure.
With DS, my blood pressure was on its arse again, so I was advised to eat salty food if I could keep them down - ready salted walkers crisps became my best friend!

hodgeheg92 · 20/01/2019 12:07

@MyBreadIsEggy your first age gap gives me hope that we're not crazy - DD will be 20 months when this one arrives. We wanted a 2 year gap (mostly for financial reasons) but thought we'd start trying just in case it took a while and it didn't. How did you find 2 under 2?

@twittlebee Are you passing out? I've been getting light headed, especially at work, but no fainting so far. Sounds horrible if you are.

TwittleBee · 20/01/2019 12:07

I usually have high blood pressure, wonde4 if its changed then. Just feel so crap today. I'll try and force some crisps down me. Thank you MyBreadIsEggy

Megan2018 · 20/01/2019 12:08

@TwittleBee
No, nothing that extreme! I think that’d warrant investigation? I did take part in a mindfulness class on Friday though and couldn’t keep my eyes shut-had the worst spinng sensation! But also full of cold so might be that.
I think passing out always needs looking at though!

MyBreadIsEggy · 20/01/2019 12:18

hodgeheg honestly it was nowhere near as chaotic as I expected! Dd turned 17 months a couple of days before DS was born, and having 2 babies was a million times easier than having 2 toddlers! The first year was a breeze, then DS started walking and that was the game changer! They are 2 & 3 now, and are either best mates, or are at each other’s throats - there is no grey area 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

MunchyMunchkin · 20/01/2019 12:38

Age gap will be 4yrs 1 month all being well.
My first will start school just as baby arrives so no worrying about school hols for the first year!

Symptoms wise boobs still sore, exhausted and occasional nausea waves but short lived. Reflux under control with meds.
Vaguely remember getting worse at 7 weeks last time so a week to go until that kicks off.

CookieBlue · 20/01/2019 12:43

Hi all can I join please? Smile

Just found out we’re expecting our second. First month of trying so still quite shocked (and feeling very grateful) that it happened so quick. EDD is 27th September and we already have a 3 year old DD.

Feeling a bit all over the place at the minute! Had a tough time with DD and had quite bad PND. It’s taken 3 years for us to even contemplate having another so keeping my fingers crossed it all goes better this time.

Also am very, very anxious about things going wrong. Think I will be booking an early scan at 8 weeks to put my mind at rest a little. Hope everyone is doing well Grin

KLane · 20/01/2019 12:47

DS will be 2y4m when the baby is born. I was hoping for a few more months of a gap, but got pregnant the first month off of bc. I am home with DS every day at the moment, but think we'll need to enrol him 2 or 3 mornings a week at nursery to maintain my sanity! He's such hard work at the moment.

Babybee88 · 20/01/2019 13:19

DD will be 2 years 2 months when baby comes along. We thought it would be closer to a 2.5 year age gap, but I got pregnant first time trying! Falling pregnant a lot quicker than expected second time around seems to be quite a common theme in this thread?

MunchyMunchkin · 20/01/2019 13:34

@babybee88 took much longer here! 3 months for no 1 9 months for no 2!

ButtonTum · 20/01/2019 15:23

We'll have a gap of 2y7m if all goes well. Was hoping for more like 2y4m but mmc put paid to that. I'd have been happy with closer to 2y but DH wasn't ready to try that early 😲he's not close to his siblings so doesn't get the bond & how important it is. I'm v close to my sister & we are 2y exactly so had my heart set on something similar

Still very few symptoms here. Feeling occasionally nauseous but it's not hanging around for long. And is mostly mid/late afternoons. Only one (my bigger) slightly sore boob!

boodles101 · 20/01/2019 15:29

2y8m gap here.
buttontum I'm exactly the same, I wanted about 2y gap but DH wasn't ready either. Luckily I fell pregnant on the first cycle.

Me and DH had a lovely hotel stay last night, the most amazing shower that really helped to clear some of my cold. Then my wisdom tooth decided that it was time to start coming through so I spent most of the night awake in pain!
Barely any symptoms here too, boobs not really that sore anymore, only every now any again, they are slightly bigger which I'm loving as I was also left with barely anything from breastfeeding! I keep wondering if I should have an early scan. DH said last night that I don't seem too excited and I said I think I'm holding myself back incase something happens. Also my mum is getting married when I'll be about 10 weeks so could be a nice little present for her.

Easterbuns1 · 20/01/2019 15:52

17 months between my older two and my youngest will be 8 when the new baby arrives all going well. Not sure how it will work this time as the older two are best friends and have always entertained each other!

ButtonTum · 20/01/2019 15:53

Ah @boodles101 that's nice. She'll be delighted.

I'm having an early scan at 8+3. I regret so deeply not having one last time. MMC meant I didn't find out until 11 weeks that baby stopped growing at 7 weeks. I know scans won't change the outcome but knowing sooner that things aren't working out will make it easier for me.

LaBelleSausage · 20/01/2019 15:58

We’ll be in the two under two club as well as DS will be 1 and 10 months when the baby is due to arrive.

Feeling so tired and sick today, and very dizzy/faint. At least when anyone comments on me looking rough I can say DS isn’t sleeping well due to molars coming through.

Florencenotflo · 20/01/2019 17:24

@ButtonTum no just the one MMC here. I think I just got lucky with my MW that's all. I was honest with her. I didn't find out until my 12 week scan that baby had stopped growing at 6/7 weeks. I'd rather know sooner rather than later if something isn't quite right. I asked if I was allowed an early scan, if not I'd pay for one. She just said she could ask for what ever she wanted. She's put me down as unsure of dates so it's a dating scan really rather than a reassurance scan. It was nice of her to be so understanding but I get that not everywhere will do that.

We have a Dd already who will be 3y8m when this one arrives. I think it will be a good gap, Dd is very into babies and really likes helping me at the moment. So fingers crossed she'll be ok! I don't think I'll be able to take a full year mat leave though. I'd like to so I can spend DD's last summer before school with her. I just don't think we'll be able to afford it. DH has a second job when I had Dd, that's not around anymore so I'll probably go back after the paid bit finishes. Luckily my boss is lovely and will let me do part time again for a bit (I'm hoping!).

abi2790 · 20/01/2019 17:29

I had an early scan today. The sonograher has dated me at 8+2 (I thought I was 7+2). I have no idea how this is possible unless I became pregnant whilst still on the coil. Anyway, my new due date is 30th August, can I stay here anyway? Both my babies have been late so I suspect I will be having a September baby anyway!
