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?

Sorry to hear some of you are feeling pukey. I did have a wave of nausea last night but feel ok again today. I'm also having intermittent ultra mild period 'type' pains but no bleeding. Are any of you too?? I know with baby #2 they say that you get all sorts of funny goings on...

Expat - sorry to hear you're feeling blue and I hope the GP gets you sorted asap.

paulaplumpbottom · 19/11/2007 10:19

Sorry you are having a rough time Expat. I bet you are thrilled about the vasectomy

mcchesers · 19/11/2007 11:49

Morning all. I should really get up and get breakfast asap. I've been lucky to escape any bad morning sickness. My nose has been stuffed up thereby negating the heightened sense of smell that I normally have..which gives me the boak. That being said I have a feeling all of that is about to end and the heave is in the post.

Good for you getting a lunch out SK. You deserve a nice treat. We went out yesterday afternoon to see some friends..but didn't stay long as I was falling asleep. Did you see any decent maternity stuff? When will you start wearing them?

I'm taking your lead ladies..don't know jack about this maternity business.

Expat - Hope they give you something that works. GP only gives out prozac..and it has never worked for me.

Putthatinyourpipe -
i am getting crampy period type pains too that i don't remember getting with ds.
am also feeling much more nauseous (sp?) than I did 1st time round.

or maybe you just block it from your memory!?

PutThatInYourPipeandSmokeIt · 19/11/2007 13:01

Hi Feb - that's exactly the same with me too - I lost my appetite completely last night, starting to feel queasy and still feeling 'odd' today. I was right as rain with DD, no symptoms whatsoever. It's reassuring to know someone else is feeling a bit crampy too (I don't THINK it feels serious - just an underlying on and off very mild sensation).

paulaplumpbottom · 19/11/2007 13:06

The crampiness is fine as long as there is no blood

sfxmum · 19/11/2007 13:12

SK I look at maternity too just found a bag from last time, I did not get a lot. H&M to the rescue I think with a couple of wrap tops and a good pair of jeans.

just got booked at the hospital of my choice but the GP refused an early scan despite the previous miscarriages so am booking one privately maybe next week.

apparently I am offered a nuchal as routine but not sure if I trust it and might do it privately as well

I seem to remember that mild period like symptoms are normal

sweetkitty · 19/11/2007 15:16

hello ladies been reading today but not been able to post yet

expat - sorry to hear you are suffering, I think an unplanned pregnancy would throw anyone I imagine it would take a good while to get your head around it, mine was planned but I am still s* myself having 3 under 5. Hope that ADs aren't too long in kicking in.

mcchesers - re the maternity clothes, I think it depends on your shape and each pregnancy when you will need maternity clothes, with DD1 I couldn't get into normal trousers at 18 weeks with DD2 it was about 24 weeks. You will also find you go through a horrible time when you don't look pregnant just fat, your normal clothes are too tight yet maternity clothes are falling off you. I have a few things from the last twice but I have dropped a dress size from each pregnancy so will probably need more clothes, at least in the summer we shouldn't need coats or heavy clothes

sfxmum - thats awful they are not offering you an early scan I am phoning up the EPU this week to have a scan next week but am starting to feel a bit anxious about it already

feb - hello and welcome

Verso · 19/11/2007 20:02

Expat - I had PND with DD - citalopram kind-of did the trick for me when I eventually gave in and took it (about a year later). I hope your GP is helpful. Depression is horrible.

On the maternity clothes side of things, I find I can get away with usual things at the moment but by the end of the day want something elasticated round my tummy (the glamour!). The bellybelt is good - gives you a few more weeks' wear out of normal clothes.

I think I went into maternity with DD around 18wks but I expect it will be earlier this time.

cass66 · 19/11/2007 20:20

added myself as I seem to have been forgotten! feeling quite queasy today and have boobs the size of 'Jordan's' (or so it seems!)

hello all again. And in answer to an earlier question about seeing your GP, once you've seen them initially, the midwife takes over, and you only need to see them if you have any problems. the M/W should book all scans etc.

PutThatInYourPipeandSmokeIt · 19/11/2007 20:29

Well at just under 6 weeks PG, I can no longer fit in to my jeans because (and this happened last time too) - my thighs are too fat!! I ended up buying stuff in the next size up before going in to maternity. I've also bought a belly band and one of those things that means you can wear your normal (for me - next size up!) trousers for longer - it adds a panel at the front.

sfxmum · 19/11/2007 21:36

evening all rubbish weather here lots of rain and now thunder.

Last time I did not show much until after 20wks, was desperate to wear maternity clothes.
am 6wks now and in my usual clothes expect and hope not for long.

sweetkitty · 19/11/2007 21:50

Well I have just raided the sin bin sweet tub, which is where I put all the crap the DDs got for Halloween that I don't allow them to have (all the big chew sweets and lollies) I love the really sour chew sweets they seem to take the horrid taste away from my mouth. I was like this with the other two, lemon juice, grapefruit juice, orange juice and Starburst but it had to be the sour ones (I remember eating 4 packets in the one go ) they are hardly good for you as well. Exact same with the other 2 - another girl ???

I haven't even been to see the GP so far waste of time and don't want to tempt anything yet. He only refers you to the MW who sees you at your 12 week booking in appointment, will wait until after the scan, am phoning up to make appointment for scan tomorrow, hopefully they will be able to fit me in sometime next week. And hopfully I can go when DD1 is at nursery so I will only need to take DD2 with me, DP can come as well if he can get time off work.

PutThatInYourPipeandSmokeIt · 19/11/2007 22:07

But I want thin legs!

sweetkitty · 19/11/2007 22:25

Maybe your thighs are getting ready to support the big bump

I did read that you thought you might be having twins twins would be lovely (as long as they are someone elses)

mcchesers · 20/11/2007 08:16

Morning..my mum used to get up so early when we were kids. Maybe it was for the only peace and quiet she would have all day, or maybe because she had been subject to the dreaded all day sickness. I start to feel a little queasy around 11am so here I am up with the cats.

I have to go into town today, maybe will buy some big belly jeans for myself.

SK I have my scan at 9:30 next Weds and am a little nervous myself. At least then I will know the progress and be able to get on with my life.

shrooms · 20/11/2007 09:15

Woohoo! Just had a +! Looking at end of july to beginning of august! So excited
(I have a son aged 8 and a girl aged 6 - had hoped for another but nothing happened and now this!)

sweetbean · 20/11/2007 09:28

Just popped into from the May thread to say congratulations to everyone i can't believe where getting July baby's already !! xx

mcchesers · 20/11/2007 09:29

Wow Shrooms, exciting stuff!! Conrats and welcome

sfxmum · 20/11/2007 09:31

morning all

welcome shrooms and anyone I might have missed.
hope you are all well this morning.
will sit on my hands and books a scan for the second week in December, better chance of a heartbeat, until then trying to relax

paulaplumpbottom · 20/11/2007 10:18

Congratulatons Shrooms

MINNIE1 · 20/11/2007 10:58

lissie, Sorry your leaving us

Expat, Hope your doctor gets things sorted for you, i had the blues (did'nt know what was wrong with me) after DD2 and not nice at all.

shrooms, Welcome

Eating is so hard for me at the mo! Living on the bare amount! Stay at home again yesterday (which is not like me) Had a lovley hot bath, DP walk in and sad is'nt it well for some!! i lanched at him needless to say and told him i was feeling like a dogs Ar&$ all day and that he never has to give birth so on so on!! He shut his mouth after that!

Hope you all feeling ok..

PutThatInYourPipeandSmokeIt · 20/11/2007 13:45

Welcome Shrooms!!!!

Good luck for all scan coming up - it is always so much better knowing isn't it?

Minnie1 - Rock on!!!

SweetKitty - I like your engineering mind!! I am now convinced that it's either a boy or twins because everything is more exagerated than it was with my DD. I'm going to be clad in lycra very soon if my thigh growth keeps up this pace. I'm not even eating very much!!!

By the way - this was on a thread somewhere and I thought is was so excellent and apologies if I've nicked off one of you or if indeed it was this thread that I've pinched it off!

A man came home from work and found his three children
outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud,
with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around
the front yard.

The door of his wife's car was open, as was the
front door to the house and there was no sign of the
dog. Proceeding into the entry, he found an even
bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the
throw rug was wadded against one wall.

In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon
channel, and toys and the family room was strewn with
toys and various items of clothing.

In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast
food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was
open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a
broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile
of sand was spread by the back door.

He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys
and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife.
He was worried she might be ill, or that something
serious had happened.

He was met with a small trickle of water as it made
its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he
found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn
over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap
and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and
walls.

As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still
curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel.
She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day
went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, "What
happened here today?"

She again smiled and answered, "You know every day
when you come home from work and you ask me what in
the world did I do today?" "Yes," was his incredulous
replied. She answered, "Well, today I didn't do it."

expatinscotland · 20/11/2007 13:47

hi, all

don't know what the future holds for me and bump, so might not be around much.

yesterday i developed, quite suddenly, a d&v bug with flu-like symptoms.

doctor came round at 11.30 to give me jabs to stop the vomitting and cramps, but i still have insane diarrhoea.

so off to GP at 4.45PM. he wants to blood test me for listeriosis and possibly admit me to hospital.

if it's listeria it may have finished off bump, but i'll need a scan, too.

wishing you all well.

paulaplumpbottom · 20/11/2007 14:50

Sorry you are feeling bad Expat. It could just be that nasty tummy bug thats going around. I hope thats all it is anyway. I hope you and your bump are fine
