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.

Just popping on to wish everyone and their bumps a Merry Christmas. Hope the nausea stays away for Christmas dinner.

It's just started snowing here and the kids are very excited

Bloatella · 25/12/2004 21:32

May I join this thread too?
I got a positive test yesterday and am over the moon - what a great xmas present for me and dh. I've only told my M who is here with us.
An online calculation gave me a due date of August 16th. The thing is I feel much more pregnant than 6/7 weeks. I feel absolutely bloated and nauseous. Is that common this early?

Twiga · 26/12/2004 01:07

Hi, I'm very aprehensively tiptoeing into join you - got a BFP this afternoon, the most amazing Christmas present ever ! According to dates I will be due on 31st August or there abouts so may hop between this and the September thread - not sure yet. We're over the moon but also a little scared as my first pg ended in a mc back in July - am going to have to get to 03/01/05 at least before I start relaxing.

MrsWednesday · 26/12/2004 09:59

Twiga!!!! What a wonderful, fantastic Christmas present. Hope you manage to get through the next few weeks without sending yourself too mad with worry. So pleased for you.x

(sorry, was just nosing around the board when I saw your post on the TTC thread).

bonkerz · 26/12/2004 11:47

congrats twiga!! Sending you positive thopughts and hope you can relax abit although i know how hard it is! Try and get an early scan it has helped me relax loads! (also had mc in july)

Bloatella, i know how oyu feel! im due on 11th august and my waist has started to feel tight and have had sickness and everything! think it is normal but im convinced im more pregnant than 8 weeks!!!!!

Hope you all had a lovely christmas, am now gonna veg and watch the little britain dvd i got and eat a whole box of choccies!

Bloatella · 26/12/2004 12:02

Thanks bonkerz congratulations to you too and all the aug2005ers. Glad to hear you feel v pregnant at 8 weeks. When can you start feeling foetal movement? I'm suddenly thinking maybe my calculations are all wrong and that I'm nearer 11 weeks! I'm so bad at noting down dates..... Do they scan people like us who may be further on than they think?? A know-nothing's scan?

bonkerz · 26/12/2004 12:09

not sure! i had a mc in july and a bleed 10 days ago so had a scan last week but not a dating scan! think you may have to wait unless oyu visit an early pregnancy unit! With my 1st preganancy (4 years ago!) i was sure i could feel fluttering if i laid on my tummy but im not sure. This time im sure i feel things, my tummy feels almost detached and very odd and also if i roll on my tummy at night its very noticeable that i have a baba in there!!

forevermore · 26/12/2004 21:36

hello all, i have been surfing the ttc threads for months and finally plucked up the courage to start ttc in november and got BFP 8 days ago...cannot believe it, but this is where the nightmare began!

i have since had two blood tests at EPU and a scan which has quashed fears of ectopic/miscarriage. having an awful time since first told that abdominal pains could be an ectopic by awfully crass GP. 1st time in my life that i have had unprotected sex, and i get all this. very lucky, i know, to even be given this chance, but now fear that this is too good to be true, and read so many bad experiences on MN that i am here now living each day worrying about when i am gonna see blood, get those MC cramps, when will the fairytale end. could i actually be one of the lucky ones and get to the post-natal thread complaining about bottle feeding...i wish.
just wanted to vent a little since i cannot even sit and watch television without wondering if i am about to MC. omigod am i going mad.

also feel like crap, told the pain was a UTI and put on antibiotics, the last day of course is today and still getting a few symptom . in addition i have what seems like sinusitus and on/off headaches, i have read that this could be due hormones???(i am never ill normally)
finally no other real symptom except slightly sore boobs and very occasional nausea.

my DH and i want this so badly we are trying not to get excited and its worse for my DH because he knows how i could worry myself into the worse situations and its only been 1 week and can't help thinking that i have somehow willed these bad experiences to happen to me. i wish i could be more positive about all this but i am soo scared.

anyway i just want to thank everyone for using MN and helping out so many people like me (who have taken months to join in), its amazing how many of you have been helping others out and not even known it.

(I am gonna rush off and check myself again, for this 20th time today...help)
good luck to you all.

Thanks for the welcome, have skimmed down the thread to get an idea of who's who. Eulalia, I'm in Aberdeen too, will you go to ARI or is there a smaller hospital near you that you'll use?

This will be our first baby all being well. I've been feeling green about the gills for around a week, although this has in part been the tail end of a tummy bug. Was sick yesterday morning and generally feel sick after eating at the moment. Have noticed that some food which I normally like tastes strange, polos being the main one and the smell of anything frying turns my stomach. Really sore chest on and off too, not complaining though would happily throw up every day for the next nine months if it means things will be fine!

Twiga · 27/12/2004 11:13

Hi all, new member of the Due in August club. Due date is August 17th, 1 day before my toddler's second birthday. Feel really good and excited now, what a great Christmas present.

forevermore · 27/12/2004 20:55

congratulations colinsawmommy.....can you tell me how to work out the due date?

my last period start date was November 21st, when would this make me due?

blossom2 · 27/12/2004 21:21

Hi everyone ...

{hug} forevermore. to work out due date, i think you get the date of the first day of your last period and then count 40 weeks from then.

hope that makes sense!!

ja9 · 27/12/2004 21:57

Thanks Ja9, hope you and M had a great Christmas with your wee man. Was the most amazing Christmas present, although had to wait half the day to test as I was working. Feeling pretty nervous about it all, so keep us in your prayers, look fwd to hearing from you, lol x

bonkerz · 28/12/2004 14:32

hi all! Has anyone had any spotting? i had brown and red discharge 2 weeeks ago and had a scan last week and all was fine, no obvious cases for bleeding and a heartbeat was found! Have had some slight bleeding when i wipe for the past 2 days. No pain and dh had a peek and said im sore down there and i have a cut where my episiotomy scar is which is prob causing blood and small clots but am now getting paranoid its more than that! Had a mc in july but i had 10x more blood with that and lots of pain so this is nothing like that! I am 8 weeks now and had started to relax abit as mc happened at 7 weeks last time. Am i being paranoid or should i get checked out (if i get checked out will have to go to epu and not sure dh could cope with that again!) Please, any advice would be great!

bonkerz · 28/12/2004 14:47

ok amybe i have an infection or an inflamed cervix? Have just been on nhs!

kate100 · 28/12/2004 16:13

My due date is 2nd August, 5 days after DS 2nd birthday and if my prevoius form is anything to ge]o by and I end up 9 days late again new baba will be born on DH birthday (another birthday coincidence). Feeling very bad with ms and tiredness, like everyone else, but trying to get through it. Congratulations to everyone and your little bundles.
