Looking at a July 08 Baby - Just got my BFP. Anyone care to join me?

[libralady]

Can't believe it. Just got my BFP today and by my reckoning baby should be due 1st July.
Is there anyone else out there?

i'm just not sure i want to go from 2 to 4 children, but hey ho, what will be will be, i think DP is worrying tho, and you're right ppb, there would be lots of people who would love to be expecting twins.... should get a scan wc 6th December so i'll let you all know then!

You'd manage fine, people do

Morning all someone said to me at toddlers this morning "your not pregnant are you?" I couldn't hide it (am rubbish at lying) They were threatening me with twins as well. Although it would be a struggle we would cope as well, theres nothing else you can do is there? Someone from my Jan 2006 thread is expecting triplets, she has a 4 yo DD1 I think and one the same age as DD2 so 21 months, can you imagine 2 to 5 overnight? I wonder if anyone on here will have twins?

This is what I got last time:
what if it's twins (sell one on ebay?)
so you'll be wanting a boy, maybe it will be another girl you know (yes 50-50 chance)
babies get bigger you will be having a 10 pounder this time
you will need more bedrooms
you will need a bigger car
oh that was a mistake then?
are you happy about it?

so why can't people just say congratulations???

Pregnacare are horrible they turned my pee bright yellow I've gone back to Sanatogen for now. I haven't started on the Omega3 ones, I read somewhere that they are best for the last 3 months when the babies brain is developing. They are so expensive though.

Hello everyone!
Hope you're all feeling ok - I'm lucky - no sickness here (touch wood - I had none in my previous pregnancies either), but I have had a few pains. I remember them from before and I kind of think of them as growing pains. It's like a pulling sensation in my pelvis.

Just waiting for some excitement really, but I know from past experience the first 12 weeks are kinda dull, and it becomes more fun in the middle trimester.

Do babies get bigger?

i'm still in shock about this.

the bad news is that my panic attacks are back.

but not sick yet so happy about that!

I know what you mean about the panic attacks. Do you find talking to someone helps? For instance if I am having an attack talking to my husband really helps

no, i don't find talking through it helps.

about the only thing that helps me is a yogic breathing technique - pranayama breathing.

i usually go outside and do it.

i've been doing yoga daily now and it is helping.

child's pose also helps, but it's harder to do when you have a bump.

I used to do the light visualisation. You know imagine the light at the top of your head and imagining it working it was down.

Sometimes it helps

panic attacks just suck all around.

oh poo. Just BD'd and I had a tiny bit of spotting . DP has now put us on a 'no sex' regime for a while. This happened with my first pregancy a few times and everything was still ok, but even so it's shaken me up. Hormones are going silly, I put 2 bibs on DS this morning as I have a 1 second memory span. Poor kid.

Hope everyone else is ok.

a bit of spotting is ok. My OB said no sex so maybe abstaining is wise.

I think i've caught a tummy bug

it could be cervical erosion, meglet.

i've had this with both girls.

um Whats BD?

it means to have sex, paula.

oh sorry

paula Tummy bug does not sound nice. Hope its not too bad. BD is baby dancing, MNs curious acronym for sex.

expat possibly is something to do with my cervix as I've had quite a bit of it taken out after some dodgy smear tests. I will restrain myself for a while. I am hell bent on having a summer baby and don't want anything to go wrong.

Why a summer baby?

just a healthy baby and healthy mother wuold be enough for me.

a baby who latches well would be an added bonus.

exactlyeverything else is just a bonus

I second that expat, DD1 was horrendous to BF at first, DD2 was a born BFer, the difference was amazing. Healthy baby and a good birth and no complications is what I want.

I had planned to have no3 in March as I had reckoned this was one of the best time to have a baby, start of the school year in Scotland, 2 years full nursery, no ms or too big at Christmas or the Summer, I thought I had got my March baby but it was taken from me, don't give a toss when this one is born (although would be nice not for it to be born on DD1's birthday)

meglet - sounds like a bit of cervical erosion especially if you had sex, your cervix is softer in pregnancy and the erm act of sex can cause some cells to come away and some bleeding. I haven't had sex since I had my BFP but I think that if it's well stuck on there it's not going to budge.

expat - what are you in shock about? the pregnancy in general? I can't imagine what an unplanned one feels like especially as you were due to be sterilised, sometimes I get moments of sheer terror 3 under 5 what I am thinking? how will I cope? but I am sure once you have that squidgy newborn (feeding well) in your arms he or she will be the best mistake you will ever have mad

I was lucky with dd. She latched on right away, just like a pro. Can't imagine what a nightmare it must be to have difficulties

dd1 was horrid to bf. i lasted mere days.

dd2 was a natural, aside from a bad feed in which she gave me three blisters on my left nipple. but when i saw teh NCT counsellor, and she helped me get her on that breast properly, it didn't even hurt.

yes, i am in shock that i am pregnant.

i find myself detaching being pregnant from actually having a newborn and another toddler or even having a big bump.

i dread labouring again.

it's a very weird sensation.

i forget and jsut eat whatever and then remember i am pregnant and shouldn't eat that.

for example, i made these tasty fairy cakes, and i stood happily licking the bowl and then thought, 'oh, shit! i'm eating raw eggs.'

or the other day i was out with dd2 whislt dd1 was in nursery and i bought a deli meat sandwich and just gobbled it all up.

it's like having given up something for lent and then remembering halfway through eating it taht you aren't supposed to.

Most of my problems with DD1 were done to her having severe jaundice and being too sleepy to suck, DD2 was never too sleepy to suck, she was having her first feed before the cord was cut.
