Anyone else due in August 2005 yet?

[wilbur]

Well, I can't believe I'm starting this thread, but very happy to be. I'm due August 1st (according to one of those online due date calculators) and ds and dd were both over a week late, so I reckon it will be an August babe. Here's hoping. Still very early days for me, and I have an early scan to get done as I had an ectopic pregnancy in March this year.

Looking forward to someone joining me.

I'm feeling pretty sorry for myself again today, the flu I had over christmas has come back and I didn't even make it in to work today. I have slept for most of the day and I'm feeling a bit better, but there definitely isn't enough energy left over for me to get better, with the whole growing a new person thing going on in my tummmy!! My darling mum has looked after DS today so that I could get some rest, without being mauled by my toddler. Does anybody else pick up everything going when they are pregnant? Last time I caught everything that did the rounds and I'm not sure I can go through constantly feeling under the weather again with DS to look after. OK rant over.
Twiga and Azure I'm so jealous, wish I was going somewhere lovely too. Maybe for our annniversary in February.

can i post some happy news??? i don't want to be insensitive to whats happening with everyone else

I would love to hear some happy news blossom.

I had my 12 weeks scan today and everything is fine. I do have a baby instead me and it was lovely to see him/her. He/she was also moving loads - alot more than DD at the same age.

So i'm really relieved and happy

I hope everyone else's scan goes as well as mine!!
lots of love

Must rush this message as have to dash off to get ds from nursery but in shock at news from Bloatella and Dramaqueen as it might be me next. Saw midwife and she kept hold of my notes - she wants me to get back in touch after the scan next week and I sensed she felt that 12 days of bleeding was not good.

More later (did a long message yesterday before latest news and logged off before sending it DOH!!).

So many hugs to you girls, keep looking to the future!

Hi all and what lovely news Blossom2 - I do so relate to that feeling of relief as with ds I had had a day of bleeding, been to Japan and Korea for 3 weeks (working) and got married before having the scan and I cried with joy at the sight of the little mite turning away from the intrusion. Couldn't believe my luck (I was 42) and like Bloatella I feel all the more blessed to have ds now. Big smiles for you and hope that all the other scans show up healthy little wrigglers.

I'm still spotting daily and the occasional crampy twinge so just not too hopeful really. BUT no real way of knowing what to think till next Wednesday's scan. In the message I lost yesterday I reflected how I was a Thousand times happier to be in this limbo which has a glimmer of hope than in the hopeless desperation of another AF when ttc. At my age there just aren't that many eggs left !!!

As for location (someone asked) I'm near Rugby. RL job is lecturer (teacher training for English (as a Foreign Language) Teachers, and Chinese undergrads doing a degree in Eng Lang, Translation and Cultural Studies. I've lived abroad a lot and feel happy and settled now I'm 'home' for good.

Is anyone else finding it hard to keep track of everyone else on the thread? I'm thinking of keeping a list to add notes to - is that just too 'annoraky'?

hia ll. maybe we should start a new thread? dont want to appear insensitive as i too have been through what bloatella and dramaqueen are going through but it may be easier to keep track if we start another thread with all the due dates on?

I havent been on for a few days as my head just spins all the time and I feel desperately, desperately sick and tired and faint. have a mw appt on wednesday 26th jan.Dramaqueen and blotella, hugs to you both.

hello
scan in morning
so convinced it will be bad news
not taking dh as feel want to deal with it by myself
if not on for next wk is because am going skiing with kids for first time - booked many moons ago
have to go, bad news or not and will deal with it on my return
fingers crossed for all

Big hugs to Bloatella and Dramaqueen.

I have just been through the same myself. Had scan at 7 weeks on weds and nothign there so had a d and c the same day. Feel ok now physically just tired from the anaesthetic i think and mentally rubbish but will just have toi move on i suppose,

Best wishes to everyone else.

Afternoon.

I have good news. Scan this morning was fine, baby (thankfully only one) moving about and heartbeat showing. Feel greatly relieved and also feeling better too as nausea has almost gone.

Now to announce it to the real world

So sorry to hear the bad news from others... hereshopping? How did it go? Teatime - you sound so brave. Your job sounds really interesting. I'd love to have worked abroad and whilst having lots of foreign holidays as a child I feel you don't appreciate it till you are older. As for now I'll be giving birth again to in the same hospital where I was born so haven't moved far away.

not so me
another missed m/c, empty sac 10 wk size
d and c in a week - my choice to wait as going away
seen consultant - who is doing some investigations and referring me to epu next time - some advantages to being a doctor - just wish id been able to have early scan this time good luck all
wont be back on this thread - will move to m/c one

Hi all,
Reeling a bit from the bad news - so sad and sorry about Morgan, hereshoping as well as Dramaqueen and Bloatella. Perhaps we can keep this thread till the 'twelve week' watershed passes for most or anyway just a little longer as we might lose a few more (I mean me!) I'm thinking that my scan on Wednesday might well be bad news so will be very hard to go through... and I've got tutorials with students all afternoon - oops. Dh says bunk off if I want to so I might - but if it's good news they'll have to scrape me off the ceiling and tie me down !! However I get second-hand pleasure and thrill at the reports of lovely scans so keep 'em coming! Hardly any bleeding today hooray.

{{{hugs}}} to everyone with sad news,

So sorry to all with bad news.

yes I am also finding it really hard to keep track of everyone on this thread but I agree lets get the 12 wk stage over with, call me superstitious!

fingers crossed for the rest of us.

I've just read my last post, what a whinger I was that day. Feel much better now, but still feel sick.

I am so sorry to hear all the sad news on this thread, but at least there was some good news mixed in with it, congratulation eulalia, that's wonderful news. I can't wait for my scan on tuesday, but it's that awful mix of excitement and anxiety. I hope that everything is OK for everyone at their scans, so that we can up the happiness quota. There has been a lot of sadness on this thread recently and I think that, we all need some good news.

hi girls, haven't been around much due to work committments but everything here is fine. haven't been feeling quite as tired or sick this week, although have been using my friends tried and tested method of Arrowroot biscuits before i get out of bed in the morning so maybe they really do work. i'm finding it hard to know what to eat, i'm hungry but feel 'ill' at the thought of most foods!

sorry for everyone who has had bad news, i've cried for you while reading this........i have to stop myself worrying it could happen to me.

midwife appt this coming thurs and have been informed my midwife could be the very same one who guided me into the world!! how wierd is that? i can hardly believe she is still working..

how about a big group hug? ((((()))))

hi all, have had a bad day today! Have been having very vivid dreams for the past few nights and my dream last nite upset me so much ive been a terrible mum today and my kids are in bed already! (they have been naughty and i havent been able to cope so well today!) My 12 week scan is on 28th and in my dream it showed no baby was present! I suppose im scared because i do feel good apart from the tiredness! With my 1st pregnancy i was really sick for 5 months and with this one my ms has been quite minimal really and has disappeared now! I know all pregnancies are different and this baby has a different daddy to my 1st son so that could make a difference but i just keep expecting the worst even though i had a heartbeat show up at 7 weeks and have had no blood loss i cant help imagining the worst and cant visualise my baby at all! Am terrified! Have also noticed im in a fowl mood today and cant shake it. Feel like jekyl and hyde at present! AM I NORMAL???

as normal as I am! sure you'll be ok but with you on the worry - my 12 wk scan is on tues and really nervous though 1st scan had shown heartbeat. stressed out anyway as living in building site of a house, looking after lively 3 yr old while ds bangs away at floorboards...looking forward to builders finishing and a hopefully much more energised 2nd trimester. i've been really knackered in this one, collapsing as much as poss. Sorry, moan over! hopefully next post will see me in a better mood. hope everyone's ok.

hereshopping so sorry. Take care.

MissChief - building site here too ... has been for the past 3 1/2 years and likely to be for much longer. Have got used to it now though.

bonkerz - your mood swings sounds like a good sign. I am sure everything will be OK.

Went swimming with sister and the kids today and am now bloody knackered. dd pulled the emergency cord in the toilets and then later ds locked her and himself in the changing cubicle

Sorry to hear all the sad news. Thinking of you all x

With ds, I bypassed most feelings of nausea etc. but this time it has kicked in at 8 weeks (thought I'd escaped it again). Also feel hungry all the time but finding it hard to think about food (apart from crisps). Feel sick all day and am very tired. Seeing the mw this week so looking forward to reaching that first proper apt and making the pregnancy seem more real.

Hi everyone,

been trying to keep up with you all amidst computer problems.

to hear so much bad news. thinking of all of you who have lost a precious baby.

Doing ok here- v tired, v nauseas and waiting for my scan appointment to come through (grrr) bit slow round here....but am growing so much that it's hard to hide now. I am in maternity wear- no chance my 16's will fit. Bump is in a funny place though!!
Had my booking in apt with mw and it seems I'll barely see her as it's a 2nd pregnancy and 'I know what I'm doing'(!!!). Still feeling scared about that scan...thinking about a doppler to reassure me a bit..not sure...anyone else using one? (from 10 weeks with ds heard hb every day!)

anyway better go...will be off line for a week as off to mums.

take care all
xx
