Due May 2008 - anyone there????

[jacobandlysette]

Very very early but we have the all important BFP.

Anyone out there to join me?

Hi Londonirish - hope you have a good weekend, I'm a teacher too and last week was a killer. I am going to see the mw for 1st appmt on Wednesday and hopefully she'll help me confirm my due date, periods were all over the place. I am also waiting for the Dr to send me an appmt for a scan but it isn't here yet. I want to tell ppl at school so they see why I blubbed on Thursday and why I'm so tired.
Have a restful weekend everyone

Hi Everyone - here to join you! Got BFP on thursday but quite feint. Another one today that is getting stronger. Had the same with DS who is now 2! I'm also a teacher so sympathise JackBlackRoady and londonirish. Don't have any syptoms yet, which i am a little concerned about?? Guess i am due end of May but will keep you updated.

My lovely lovely dh has just gone to pick up ds from a birthday party. He took him to the party earlier and said "go to bed while dd has a nap and I'll keep out of your way" AWWWWW - he's being all protective

Hello everyone, I need advice. My DS is 12 years old so I was 18 when I last had morning sickness. Now I'm 30 and it's awful. It's pretty much all day, on and off, it's got much worse over the week and I wondered what you all do to get rid of it? I can't imagine what teaching next week is going to be like when Friday was pretty bad and I feel worse now. And I haven't told anyone at work yet. Please give me any advice on coping with the sickness.

(PS - Hi Sparky, hope you are resting ready for next week, what age do you teach?)

Hi JackBlackRoady i teach secondary georaphy what about you? When i was pregnant with DS i used to keep some ginger biscuits in my draw and would nip into the corridor to munch on one! Seemed to help. I was quite luckily as morning sickness didn't last too long. Hope you are the same. Good luck with next week.

I'm secondary science - I've got the ginger biscuits and I'll be putting some in the prep room for snacking on. I've had 3 today, some decaf tea, an orange, cereal for breakfast and some dry toast. Still feel sick, and it does seem to be worse when I'm hungry so trying to eat little and often. Does drinking water help?

uuuurrrrrggggghhhhh poor me I feel so sick

I need to drink much more water. Every thing I eat makes me feel pukey though!

Hello all - can I join you? My edd is actually April, but as DD had to be prised out with syncotonin at 43 weeks I anticipate a May baby! Hope you don't mind... I've put my stats in. This baby is very wanted and it's taken longer than I wanted to conceive - just trying to keep my worries in check right now and hoping we can keep hold of this little bean.

JackBlackRoady- I'm secondary science teacher also-a good idea to keep biscuits and water handy..will do that from tomorrow & keep a stash in my drawer! will have to eat between lesons as kids aren't allowed to eat in lab so i really shouldnt either!Lucky you to be seeing your mw this week..couldnt get appt until start of oct.

hope everyone is feeling ok..and ready for the dreaded monday morning..enjoy the rest of sunday! x

ps brunettemum-fingers crossed!! congratulations

Can I heartily recommend Preggie Pops? One of the girls on the Christian prayer thread sent me a pack of the ginger ones and they are fab!

They're quite pricey, but I've had a couple on the really bad days. You can now get them in sweet form which are a bit more discreet if you can't be seen sucking on a lolly all day

I also got crystallised ginger pieces from one of those health food type places which was also useful with ds' pg.

I'm needing about an hour's sleep in the day now - eek. Can't wait til "normal" pregnancy sets in

sparky77 - my degree was in Geography - I've always pondered doing my PGCE at some point. Not for a while now though

bobsmum you should do it- obviously in a couple of years!! The PGCE year is tough but then think of the holidays after!! I am really enjoying working part time but can't wait to have time off. Can't stop hoping that everything is going to be ok. I feel so paranoid this time round. So many of my friends have had mis between 1st and 2nd children. Off to do some marking - Have good weeks. Hope morning sickness is not too bad.

Hi brunettemum - welcome!
londonirish - and I thought I had a long time to wait for the mw appmt - made it last Monday, so 9 days wait.
bobsmum - being a teacher is the best job if you have kids, there's nothing to beat the holidays. Also thank you for the preggie pops idea, I am on Mothersbliss shopping now.
Just come back from in-laws - DH and I had to tell them, which was xciting, but can't help being worried as about 6 months ago I had early mc, before I told anyone thankfully but still quite worried about this time.
Anyway, have a good Monday everyone and talk later

Hi Guys, I got my BFP this morning! I will be due 21 May. I am 38 and have two DS's 4.5 and 2. I am very excited. It took quite a while to fall and I thought at my age I may have left it too late. Now I am already thinking how I will reorganise my house to accommodate bub and about which 7-seater I will try to talk my hubby into buying. I need to book into hospital and get a referral from my GP to my ob who will do the first scan at 8 weeks. I am off to my naturopath this morning. Yippee!

Yay - lots of us on number 3!!

Aussiesim - are you an oldie - I'm sure I recignise your name from way back? Congratulations

jacobandlysette - we are in Auckland.

It is hard to keep up so much happening. No major 'signs' here touch wood, just a bit tired etc, but it is very early for me. I'll get my due date for the list next Monday at my scan (hopefully)

Hi Bobsmum - I thought I recognised you too. I have been on here since 2002. I guess that is a while ... back in the days when we had to pay to be members

Hello again girlies,

Oh I dont know where to start I havent posted in so long!!!

Firstly, I am so sorry for those of us that have lost their babies, and congratulations to those of you that have just joined us.

I have had a rollercoaster fortnight, so going to waffle now - many apologies in advance!

Ok, so I had a bit of a bleed 2 weeks ago and the doc saw the sac coming away from the wall so he put me on some synthetic progesterone, and then last week he did a scan and started to prepare me mentally for a blighted ovum and told me to come and see him again today. Anyway, I was too scared to read the good and bad news that was cracking off on Mumsnet and decided to stay away for a little while.

My folks came over to visit me, and my originally pissed off dad has turned quite happily and even bought me home a big whopping piece of chocolate cake!!! I took the folks round the supermarket, cause that is an adventure in itself and my mum found all the baby clothes and would hold them up behind my dads back giggling and waving them!

Then on the day they left, I flew out the same day to see my other half, we were both a little bit worried as I had told him what the doc had said and again I had another bleed. This time slightly more, but at least my other half was there to give me a huge cuddle while I had a cry.

I got back yesterday and took it easy until this afternoon when I went back to the docs. I thought he was going to tell me off cause he asked me to postpone trip, but I couldnt as I wouldnt have seen my other half til February then. I already miss him enough as it is, and we both thought what will be will be, but we were definitely keeping our fingers crossed. Anyway doc gave me a scan and his eyebrows shot up and then he smiled and said that he could see the baby, and he was very glad, he couldnt see any risks at the moment, and it was perfect. I was so happy I was laughing and crying. So straight back home, via the shop for a king size twix, to call my other half and tell him the news, had to repeat myself I dont know how many times cause I was so excited and was babbling! I am convinced it was because he spoke to Baby Dot when we were together, and the baby was happy. (Complete and utter rubbish I know, but I like to think of it like that!)

So anyway girlies, there is my good news for the day.

I really do hope that you are all doing fine, I did think earlier that I was alone for a while and then realised we are all in this rollercoaster ride together.

Catch you later girlies.

shellysara am in floods of tears after reading your story! i know it's pg hormones but am so pleased that all is going ok for you and your dad has come round as well.

xxxx

Sorry you are in tears JacobsandLynette. I was just so excited I had to share it with everyone. I am hoping that everyone gets an easier going time, cause it sure is hell, but when you get that Disney movie happy-ever-after feeling, wow!!!

Mind you, I was in tears at a Powerpuff Girls cartoon this morning - dont ask!!

I know it aint over by a long shot yet, but I just got a huge feeling of relief. Well....... til the next worry!

May we all have happy-ever-afters!!!!

Got my 7 week heartbeat scan tomorrow
bit nervous as I've had a few pains and spotting since my last scan.
hope things are ok at least I've persuaded dh to come along got the appointment for 8.00 so that helped.

still haven't told anyone nearly told my bf but wimped out.
I think she knows anyway.
hopefully I'll feel more like telling people after the scan.
i guess i'm worried in case I jinx it by telling people.

glad to hear your doing ok now shellysara

congrats & hello Aussiesim
