***** DUE IN JUNE 08 ****** OMG I can't believe I just got BFP

[nh101]

I got BFP this morning six months to the day after my MC, only 12DPO but so happy. Please pray this one holds on!!!! I am due on June 1 according to OV calendars so have the pleasure of starting this thread.

Anyone else out there or am I the only mental person who tests this early?

My boss definitely suspects!! He has moved from sticking his head into the office saying 'Is everything OK?' in solicitous manner to, this afternoon, bouncing in brightly - 'Any news??' This is not normal behaviour from him! LOL I tried to keep cool but I'm sure I flustered about suspiciously ... He has been v. supportive re. ds1 and I'm hoping same will continue this time - so don't like deceiving him - but do want to wait for scan before saying anything, to check all OK.

Systems - what a cute boss!

Hi Ladies,
No more bleeding for me today thankfully I do how ever feel very rough. I'm 8 weeks today and really feel like someones turned up the ms dial I feel soooo sick and soooo tired! Off on holiday tommorow so will try to have a good rest!

he sounds nice systemsaddict you're lucky to have a supportive boss like that!

g43 very happy you've had a good day... i know a sick day translates into a good day no matter how rough you feel! just feel those hormones rushing around doing their job and think happy thoughts!! hope you get a really nice rest tomorrow. xx

yes, I am really lucky, esp. as there were 3 of us on mat. leave at same time last year and he was still supportive! There will hopefully be 2 of us this year coming, though my colleague is about 25 weeks now so quite far ahead of me, so his support will be tested again ...

Glad to hear you are feeling sick g43. Hoping we hear from floss soon.

Sorry, missed roll call due to lying on sofa feeling sick as a dog..... can i add myself?

I'm sure I didn't feel this sick last time, blergh. Also a bit worried as am on fixed term contract at work until March 08 which leaves me hanging out to dry for a couple of months!

Hi Littlemy34, I seem to be spending an awful amount of time on the sofa feeling sick at the moment too!! I'm so glad we bought a new one recently!!

Deb

Lilypink - poor you, I hope you're wrong {{{hugs}}}

Lazylou - how did you get on? Hope all is ok.

Flosspot - I'm really worried about you!!!

Har - I can't remember with ds, it was 5 yrs ago. Wish I could as it might reassure me about this pregnancy as I keep worrying myself. Don't worry, breast-wise this time I've only been having tingles every now and then, last time a lot happened a lot quicker. I think each person/pregnancy can be different.

Totally agree with those talking about previous problems taking enjoyment out of being pregnant. I had mc before ds and it made me hate my pregnancy with him, wouldn't get attached, was very low for most of it. I just want to enjoy this pregnancy but I'm on constant knicker watch, worrying about every twinge because it feels like a period etc.

Sickness wise SO FAR I've been lucky that it's worse in the evenings but god, the metal mouth is quite unbearable atm, really dry mouth one minute then it fills up making me feel queezy but at least I'm not chucking up. Hope I don't either. I've not just got my own ds but in total I have 4 children under the age of 5 to look after, from January it will be 5 children under 5. I can't afford to have time off work and of course I'm not telling parents until I'm 12 weeks so I don't want anything giving it away!!!

Right, going to try and get some sleep now as it's my lie in so I shouldn't be sat in bed on MN should I!!!

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, spent about 6 hours at the hospital. They took blood andd had to have an internal because they want to rule out an ectopic pregnancy. I don't think it is that to be honest. They wanted to keep me in over the weekend with a view to having a scan in the EPU on Monday but the guy said it would take at least a day to organise it and what with it being the weekend, I might as well come home and wait for the scan.

So that's how things stand at the moment. Despite everything I am optimistic that it is just aches and pains rather than anything more sinister. There has been no bleeding or any other signs so as long as that remains the case, I'll keep believing that bean is going to be ok.

Hi there please can you add my name to the due date list. I am due the 20th of June according to my dates lol.

I have three children alreday aged 16, 14 and also a 7 year old.. this is a big shock to me to be honest.

At the moment I feel terrible, sick all the time and so tired. There is so much that needs to be done and I just cannot be bothered to do anything at all.

I am six weeks now and last week I had lots of bleeding so i was canned and all they could see was the egg sac and no seed or bean as may people call it. I am due to go back this Thursday for another scan to see if all is kay but throughout the week I have had sligh blood discharge but nothing much all week and still have. When I was in hospital last week they did blood tests and then 2 days later did some and the human thing had nearly doubled so think that is a good sign?

am so sick any remidies as wht to take????

Hey there - I need a dating scan tbh but due date looks between 20th and 27th June so we COULD be due at the same time Sorry about your bleeding, scary isn't it but the hormone increase can only be good

I've been feeling sick but not been sick - ginger is good - I've had gingernut biscuits delivered with my shopping today so will try them later. My main thing is metal mouth that doing my head in!!

Lazylou - fingers crossed for you, horrible having to wait but at least they are letting you been seen on Monday. Good luck and sure everything will be ok

Right, I've updated the list and put in date order, hope that was ok.

Hi babyalfie and congratulations! Yes HCG levels doubling in 48 hours is supposed to be a good sign, also feeling really sick is supposed to be a good sign, so fingers crossed.

For sickness, I have been using the Seabands acupressure seasickness bands and they have helped a lot - I didn't know if it was just a placebo effect until I forgot to put them back on after ds' bath and felt really rubbish!

Also eat what you fancy - ginger biscuits are supposed to help but tbh for me this time round it's sour / salty things which help. Salt and vinegar crisps; plain crisps; chips with salt, vinegar and pickled onions; Marmite on toast; also fizzy drinks are helping me, Tizer was yesterday's, I want fizzy Vimto today if I can find any after seeing someone mention it on another thread.

Being tired makes it much worse for me so get as much sleep or rest as you can - though that's probably easier said than done with 3 dc!

Anyone else? tips on sickness sounds like a GOOD thing to share!

Hope you don't mind, but I've adapted the list again because my edd has changed to 31st May, making me 8 weeks 1 day.

Anyone else NOT feel pregnant??? Is it normal?? I've had very annoying metal mouth and in the evenings a BIT queezy sometimes but that's it. Had period type pains for couple of days but right now, the only thing that makes me think this is not a dream is the metal mouth and positive test sticks. Am I being paranoid?

Ugh I was so sick this afternoon after my lovely DH made me a cup of tea!!

Systemsaddict Im the same everything on your list apart from marmite. We have both fizzy and diluting vimto in the house as dh is an addict, Ginger beer or Iron Bru is a must for me just now.

7 weeks tomorrow, sounds so much better than 6 cant wait till I get the date for my 12 week scan and everything can seem normal.

Looney, absolutely know what you mean, mild queasiness now and again, cramping gone, dizziness gone, tired (but not amazingly so, am always rather lazy!), what remains is wind. Hurray. Am definitely off to the chemists tomorrow to get a test, stupid waste of money I know but want to see a lovely strong line!

Josey - yay for the 7 wks! I got to 6 today which was exciting. 7 would be better though! Desperate for the scan too!

Lazylou - I'm sure if your gut instinct is that it's ok then it is. probably a very good thing not to be stuck in hospital all w/e too. Miserable I think. Will be thinking of you with fingers crossed on Monday.

Hi Babyalfie, sounds like you have a lot on your plate. Hope the shock wears off and you start to feel very happy and excited soon. I'm sure you will! The doubling thing must be a good thing I think. Sorry you've been feeling so awful though, hope some of these posted remedies help you!

Good evening to everyone else ! No rugby where I am, hope we're doing well (even though I don't know the rules!)

I know what you mean Looney - when I'm feeling sick I whinge, but when I'm not, I start to think, hmmm, maybe I'm imagining this whole pregnancy thing ... I have a horror of getting to the appt with the midwife (next Weds) and she says 'sorry, no sign of you being pregnant at all, you must have hallucinated it'! I only did one test as it seems like so much money and I'm worried about money at the moment, but can totally see the rationale for doing more. Small remaining bit of brain is pointing out that not having a period since some time in August is also a pretty good indicator ... Though even that, it was only my 1st proper period since ds was born, he was still breastfeeding at that point, so I don't even know what my cycle would have been like.

I don't think it'll feel completely 'real' until the 1st scan. Actually, with ds it never did feel 'real' until he was actually delivered - even in labour I couldn't envisage that we were really actually having a baby - I am hoping to be a bit less in denial about it this time round!

At least it's not just me!! I never was actually sick with ds so just because I read about all these other people being very sick etc, doesn't mean anything is wrong just because I'm not. It's just weird when you can't see a bump or feel anything, makes it feel like a dream! Anyway, ate a big spag bol about half hour ago (late coz I'd got in slow cooker but then dh's bro and wife turned up and so we waited til they'd gone!!)....now I feel sick again and actually feel like I may be sick and my boobs have been tingling again so I should just feel grateful that when I don't feel anything, at least I'm not suffering!!

Off to bed now as extremely tired and we're off to a big car boot sale in the morning

Night night xx

p.s. hope it's ok to ask this here but if any of you have experiences of using a childminder....would you PRETTY PLEASE comment on this thread I've put together - we're going to send it to OFSTED and local MP's as us childminders and also parents have had enough of the bureaucracy. This is the thread

Well today has been absolutely awful. I know this isn't the right place to put this, but I don't think anyone else would be bothered.

DH and I have split up. I am so angry with him right now that I don't think I can ever bear to breathe the same air as him. He has accused me of being a thief and a liar and then proceeded to scream at me in front of DD. Apparently some of his money went missing from the house and "it's not the first time, we haven't got f*cking fairies living in the house".

I asked him, none too pleasantly what he was trying to imply and he basically came out and said he knew it was me who had taken his money and it wasn't the first time.

I am so disgusted with him, not only for his behaviour in front of DD but to even let it cross his mind that I would do something like that to him. Needless, to say, a huge row ensued, which I'm not at all proud of, and I ended up packing my bags. DD and I have come to mums for a bit of space. I told him that if he had that low an opinion of me, he could get his stuff and move out. He said he would "probably save me a f*cking fortune".

So here I am, sitting at my mum's house with DD in a strange bed. We are both away from home and staying here until he leaves. I can't bear the thought of him at the moment.

The sad thing is, this is supposed to be a happy time for us. We have been ttc dc2 for almost 3 years since the mc and having finally managed it, things are falling apart.

I am adamant that I did not steal his money and I feel sad and angry that he would think that of me in the first place. I fully intend to see through my decision for him to leave because at the end of the day, he'll lose more than I will. I do not intend for him to have any part of this pregnancy and that includes my emergency scan at the beginning of next week. To be honest, I would rather do it alone than live with, or breathe the same air as someone who thinks of me as a liar and a thief. (I feel, at this point that I should put a sneaky AIBU? but will refrain lol).

So, thanks for all your support over the last month. It's been great having people to talk to. I don't expect any advice on this one, so please don't feel obliged to give any. I am hoping that I will be able to pop back in the next few days, but as he pays for the internet, chances are he'll cut it off because he knows I rely on it for uni. Plus, although I am at my mum's, this is my brother's computer and he is a bit of a git when it comes to sharing.

Thanks again and good luck to you all xxx

God Lazylou, just checking in before going to bed and saw your message. I am so, so sorry. What dreadful timing (not that there's ever good timing of course). Without knowing the history of this argument it's hard to know what to say, but again I'm so sorry and I hope your family prove to be a brilliant support right now for you and DD.

Aww, I'm so sorry Lou.

Is this normal behaviour for him?

The only reason I ask, sometimes my Dh seems to pick up my hormones. The day before my period we always seemed to have a nasty out-of-character argument - almost as though he were getitng PMT instead of me.

Really sorry Lazylou, what terrible timing - though of course these things always seem to blow up when we're under stress already don't they, life is just crap like that. I hope this gets resolved in a way that you and DD feel happy and safe with. Thinking of you - check in when you can x

God, Lazylou I thought my DH was being a w**er but yours is being far far worse. I am so sorry. Look after yourself, DD and little bean. Hope your mums as good as mine in a crisis - sounds like she is x

I am still bleeding and had such an emotional day yesterday just cried and cried - couldn't stop. Then spent the evening with my SIL and her big lovely pg bump. Couldn't help feeling envious. I am phoning GP tomorrow for him to refer me to EPU. Will let you know how I get on.

Lazylou I'm really sorry to hear about your dp and the way he's behaved, sounds like you did the right thing. I hope you get things sorted soon for you, dd and bump.

lilypink I hope the bleeding stops soon.

Deb
