Due Sept 2008. Anyone else yet? I know it's early.....

[ALLwillBeRevealed]

Can't quite believe it. Got a very very faint BFP today. Been ttc no2 for ages now.

Don't want to say too much until I have told RL but reckon I am due around about 8th Sept or so.

[digitalgirl]

ok it's been all of 9 hours since I got it, I've had a chance for the BFP to sink in now. enough for me to bravely add myself to the list.

I have been lurking on this thread since Excitable joined, hoping that one day I'd be able to join you. But didn't want to get too involved just in case...so I apologise in advance if I start bringing up topics of conversation you ladies have already covered.

Mawbroon - sorry I've come at a time when you're leaving, but good luck with ttc and hope it's not too long before you're back on the ante-natal threads.

Biglips mad isn't it? Can't believe it...faint line on a First Response at 10dpo. Did you keep doing loads of tests till it got darker? I've only got a CBD left, thought I'd save that for later in the week.

Excitable sorry to hear you're suffering so badly. Did it come on quite suddenly?

babyfever well done us this weekend! hope to see becaroo on here soon.

I'm so early on I'm almost a month behind everyone. You'll all be able to warn me about what I've got to look forward to.

Now, this being my first baby, and me having spent the last 6 months researching all aspects of TTC I have absolutely no clue as to what to expect or what I'm supposed to do now. I've read something about booking-in appointments.
As I'm only 3+4 today (is that right at 10dpo?), how long before I bother the doctor with my news?
And seeing as September is supposed to be a busy month what with all our xmas and new year babies do I need to worry about choosing a hospital soon?



oh...and congratulations to all the other newbies joining this weekend NYE was a busy one!

Hello BabyFever and digitalgirl (glad not to be the baby of the thread any more, or rather, my growing baby is not the baby of the thread anymore!)
I booked myself in with the hospital despite being only 4 weeks tomorrow. If you're a Londoner too, better think of it sooner rather than later. I do have silly thoughts about jinxing myself but I would rather have to pull out in case of disaster than end up in the wrong hossie because I dithered and was superstitious.

[BabyFever]

Hi dg - exciting isn't it!!

Hello to everyone else - seem a very friendly bunch.

I did another test this morning, just to make sure and still bfp .

Told my mum today and I burst out crying...I'm blaming the hormones.

Think I'm going to make a docs appointment for this week - seems to be the advice to go quite early.

[meglet]

hi digital. its so good to see familiar names from the TTC thread! Hope it all goes well for you.

Hello to all the new faces!

[BabyFever]

Just adding myself on

aw babyfever did your mum cry too? I'm too scared to tell mine, she'll definitely burst into tears and then immediately hit the shops and start buying stuff. I'll have a cot, buggy and high-chair before the 12 week scan.

sassa do you have to go to the dr's to book the hospital or can you just ring up the hospital and say 'i got a bfp and I reckon I'm due **th of September, save us a space'

[Excitable]

Mawbroon just as you suspected then. I am sorry, though, I hope you can do whatever you need to do in the next week or two to make you feel better. At least you don't have to tell many RL people.

Digitalgirl!!! Excitable waves madly from across the forum blowing kisses! How nice to see you in here!! Congratulations to you and to all the other newbies! I can behave like this in the virtual world, but believe me, I'm really not up to it in real life! The MS really did come on suddenly and I'm feeling a bit wobbly about it. I'm seriously considering taking some time off, but still undecided ultimately. I told my Mum today, who is usually a bit fussy, but she was brilliant about this and she pointed out that just because I've been poorly this week, does not mean that I'll be poorly next week. She didn't have such an understanding employer as mine, though, and I might just be taking advantage of that...

My Dad was really cool too, although he did not want to know how I was feeling though - times really have changed haven't they? They have for my Mum and Dad, anyway, they're like Terry and June - hehehe!

Didn't feel to bad this morning so didn't put my sickness wristbands on. Wish I hadn't done that really. Had to go back to bed when the MS hit me again. I'm not actually being sick, I just feel like I'm at sea in a force twelvety gale (don't know much about gales).

DH is very worried about the lack of sex and worrying that it will be like this for the rest of our lives now. I can't really help him with that one. It might have been a bit unsympathetic to say to him, "I tell you what - we'll swap places and you can feel shit all day and I'll see how much the lack of sex worries me." But really, I know who's got the short straw here, and it isn't him - hehehehe!!

By the way go to the doctors as soon as you can to get yourself into the system. Then they'll sort out midwives and hospitals and all that malarky from there. Don't expect them to have as much information to give you as you've been used to on Mumsnet, or anything very much to happen, the first visit has universally been pronounced unexciting. Come on here and tell us what happens anyway, cos everyone's experience is different and it's interesting to compare.

Mustsleep I'm from near Leeds originally, but I defected and moved to Lancashire. Which part do you come from? Might I know it? I went to school in a town called Heckmondwike. I often wonder when I write that on my CV if employers think I might have made that name up!

[biglips]

digital - well i re-tested myself 2 days later and the line was getting darker plus i had another CB digital pg test so was showing "Pregnant" {grin]

so i gather that the twinges and pains not to worry about as im not getting any advices on here from 2nd time mums !

[digitalgirl]

excitable in true DG style I have sourced this link for you (although, you've probably already read it). Apparently those with severe MS are less likely to miscarry. So, a comforting thought when you're dry-heaving

[biglips]

excitable - ive also heard that if you sniff a lemon...it curbs the MS! ...dunno if thats true!

well no more sick burps at all now and my boobs arent as sore but my nips are sssoooooooo sensitive....i was even struggling swimming at the baths last Friday as the water was going against my boobs and it kills me !!

[Lilypink]

Can I hijack and quickly ask - when did you all get tender boobs? If so did it come and go?

Thanks!

[Excitable]

I've had tender boobs since before I found out I was pregnant. I was thinking of starting a thread called "What the feck is wrong with my tits?" I was about 4 weeks when it started. It's remained fairly constant.

[Excitable]

Thanks DG and Biglips I have read that link - but had just been explaining to DH how glad I am you're here, because you do exactly that. You are the Queen of Research and no-one can take THAT crown away from you!

Biglips SNIFFING LEMONS?? Are you sure? Going to try this while DH is in the toilet - don't want to explain to him why I'm trying this - he might just explode with the stress of it all!!

[Excitable]

Hmm. Tried sniffing a half lemon we had in the fridge. I squeezed it a bit to give it a fighting chance, but I'm not sure how long I'm supposed to sniff it for. I have a cold wet nose now, but can't really report a drop in sickness levels. Not sure if this will work, but will continue my research on a covert basis. And ignore my Mum's voice in my head "If Biglips told you to jump off a cliff, would you do that too?" I'm sure it does work, I just felt a bit silly.

[hopefully]

Yay DG, it's so good to see you here! And welcome to everyone else!

So sorry to hear your news mawbroon, best of luck for next ttc effort.

Had nice weekend, except told my cousin, which wasn't intentional... whoops. Am going to have to tell my mum soon or the news is going to get back to her.

Longer post later when I have fed myself and read the rest of the posts properly.

[becaroo]

Hello.

Been lurking since yesterday when I got my bfp >>>

Had a mc just before xmas so really surprised I got pg again so quickly (cd 17 by my reckoning).

Delighted though!!

Almost didn't post as I don't want to jinx anything (and then I remembered I'm not superstitious!!)

Think I am due on 19th Sept. and I have one ds aged 4.5.

Symptoms are sore boobs and some nausea (esp. yesterday morning which is why I tested)

Hope to be on here for the whole hog this time!!!

[digitalgirl]

lilypink my sore boobs started at about 6dpo but only in the morning (tbh I think that was just regular cycle symptoms - would have been way too early to be anything to do with PG). the soreness would fade in the day and come back in the evening...then by 8dpo it got stronger. now at 10dpo it's constant, but bearable. I'm sure as the hCG builds up so will my symptoms.
however, my boobs are now properly filling out my bra. I've always been a slightly baggy B-cup (too big for an A). Can't wait for them to get bigger!

[mawbroon]

Thanks for all your kind wishes girls. I'm not going to post on the thread again so that it drops out of my "threads I'm on" list, but I will be thinking about you all.

Anyone else getting crampy AF type pains? I am only 4 wk + 3 but am a bit (bit!!) paraniod due to mc..........

[digitalgirl]

PMSL at excitable furtively sniffing lemons perhaps grate some zest and use it as snuff?

[digitalgirl]

becaroo god yeah! painful waves of discomfort through my womb woke me up this morning, any other cycle it's usually a mad dash for tampons...but I fumbled for an hpt as my temp stayed high. I'm going to continue to take my temps for a couple of weeks just to make sure they stay high...

[becaroo]

DG...I am already a 36DD

I will need some sort of trolley to wheel them round on soon!!!!!!

Glad the crampy pain isnt just me... (feeling a hypochondriacal at the moment!)

[biglips]

lilypink - my boobs started to be very tender on 3dpo....and then it calmed down 4 days later but on NYE..it was killing me!..

Well i be honest as im shitting myself with my boobs too!!! as before i was pg with DD, i was 36DD and went up to 44EE..then after birth it stayed at 34FF....now ive put on abit of weight so im a 36FF.....hope it stays at that!! !! There is a piccy of my when i was 3 days near to my due date...(i was 12 days late)!!

[biglips]

becaroo - i get pains in my right ovary if im blowing my nose!! as ive had this cold now a week before Xmas and now its on and off..i believe this is common when you first fall pg!

oh and ive been in a foul mood all day!!!! as im so knackered now due to re-arranging my Dd's bedroom furniture mixed with her older sisters furniture (my DP's dd who is 8) ans also they got a bunk bed too, so ive got my DD's old bedroom for the next baby.
