Heartmum2Jamie · 25/02/2008 15:15

After a bit of cajoling from some friends (some of whom I hope can join me here soon), I decided to take the plunge and start this thread.

Anyway, I have just found out I am pregnant again, got a BFP on Saturday 23rd at 12dpo, which gives me an EDD of 3rd November 2008 (or the 4th, depending on which calculator I use). This is my 4th pregnancy and will be my 3rd child. I am super excited and a little scared & nervous after a previous missed miscarriage.

I hope I don't get too lonely waiting for more BFP's to roll in! Please come and join me.

Carrieboo - so very sorry. I had a missed miscarriage last August. Its so sad and hard on you especially after the difficulties you've had.
Take really good care.

JudyJones · 09/03/2008 11:36

Carrieboo, so sorry to hear that sad news... good luck and take care..

LackaDaisycal -- good luck, thinking of you, hope all is okay...

Creena · 09/03/2008 12:06

Oh, Carrieboo - I'm so very sorry . Please take good care of yourself. We're all thinking of you.

lackaDaisycal - keeping everything crossed for you. Hope this is nothing ominous. If it helps, I had early spotting in both of my previous pregnancies (with the last one, it carried on intermittently throughout the pregnancy) and everything was ok. Wishing you all the very best and thinking of you too. [hugs]

divedaisy · 09/03/2008 14:37

Carrieboo - sorry to hear that. Take care of yourself. If you need to cry on anyones shoulders - we're here for you.

lackaDaisycal, take it real easy, rest plenty and try not to worry. Easier said than done I'm sure. I hope everything will turn out OK.

mum2becks · 09/03/2008 14:41

So sorry to hear that Carrieboo75

OddEyes · 09/03/2008 19:44

gutted 4 carrieboo. reminds me how fragile this little life is.
how you doing LackaDaisycal? praying for all our wee bairns.

manyhatson · 09/03/2008 20:17

Hello all! Just discovered this thread.

I found out on 27th Feb (DD's 2nd bday) that I am expecting again. My EDD's 7th Nov or thereabouts.

This is my second pregnancy this year - I has a M/C at the end of Jan and then fell again pregnant immediately. So my last period date was actually the date of the M/C... The obstetrician advised that I should wait a full cycle before trying again, but we took a chance - just the once - and well, we're obviously very fertile

I'm not feeling too bad at the mo - I've felt sick one day so far - didn't have any sickness last time. I've pretty much lost my appetite - not much appeals... Boobs are sensitive but not too bad. I had a C/S last time and already the lower part of my uterus is starting to twinge every now and again. Tiredness comes and goes, but again, not too bad. Oh yes, and I've got spots!

The main thing at the moment is a)not getting my hopes up. After having a M/C last time, I'm rather paranoid. And the other thing is that I'm feeling REALLY down at the moment, verging on depressed (have had depression once before so am aware of the warning signs). It's not that bad at the moment, but it's noticable to me. Anyway, I reckon it's the hormones and I'm hoping that it will pass sooner rather than later.

It's great to meet other people all due around the same time!

Jojay · 09/03/2008 20:38

So sorry carrieboo
Welcome to Manyhatson, and fingers crossed for Lackadaisycal

On the subject of supplements, does anyone know of an all purpose pregnancy supplement where the tablets aren't horse sized?!

I took Pregnacare (sp?) when pregnant with DS and I remember many times feeling a bit queasy and gagging on those huge tablets!

If anyone's found any that aren't so huge, please let me know!

The Pregnacare ones were about 1.5 cms long and kind of capsule shaped, but not a capsule IYSWIM!

OddEyes · 09/03/2008 21:37

welcome manyhatson

hormones are so strange! that a dose of a chemical can change my body shape, emotions, skin, bowels...
someone asked me how i was today and i cried in reply, wasn't expecting it, was just trying to say fine but then there were tears for no reason, very embarrassing - particularly when you can't explain why!

Roca · 09/03/2008 21:54

Hey all!

I have done an early test (due on tomorrow) and is +ve - yay! I have 1 DS age 3 and 1 DD age 2 but had a miscarriage on Xmas day this/last year so am v.happy and really want to get excited but having to hold back just now.

Congrats to you all on here - am really sad to see one has gone and feel for Lackadaisy.

I had a really bad bug on Thurs though - felt like food poisoning and I was on the loo a lot but lasted just for a few hours - I really hope that won't have affected things - any thoughts?

I have added me to the list and taken carrieboo off - hope that's ok.

Hi manyhatson - welcome to you. Don't keep your depression to yourself. We're here to help and support each other, so if you feel you can chat about it do go ahead. I've been there too - if you read earlier you'll get my story. And if you can't chat to us, do see your GP and get it sorted out b4 it becomes bad. But how you're feeling is justifiable. I hope this preg goes well for you.

I go tomorrow to see my GP as I wasn't happy with the way the locum GP consulted me. I will ask for confirmation of the heartbeat on UltraSound, and I'll be asking about wheather I am getting early signs of SPD this early. Also feel so so sick. Tireness coming in waves. Funny, but my joints are 'weak', and my left ankle keeps on clicking! It is a bit painful, but maybe it's just coincidence!? I'm so aware of every ache, pain , twinge etc, and at this early stage it's hard not to become paranoid...or go on about it too! Sorry!!!

Anybody got other wierd symptoms other than the usual?

divedaisy · 09/03/2008 22:29

JoJay, I did a quick web search and came across this site. Other sites selling tablets, but nonoe gave the dimensions of the tablets. It might help you out.

Multivitamins Have Multiple Effects During Pregnancy

^"Multivitamins do more than supply the necessary folic acid for growing babies, according to a population study conducted at the University of Pittsburgh.

Researchers there found that women in early pregnancy who took a multivitamin or prenatal vitamin regularly reduced their risk of preeclampsiapreeclampsia by 45%. Preeclampsia, which causes elevated blood pressure and protein in the urine, is a leading cause of premature delivery and fetal death.

Despite the benefits, you may find swallowing pregnancy supplements difficult. The pills are often large, and they contain high doses of iron that can irritate your stomach and cause constipationconstipation.

"If you find yourself having trouble taking prenatal vitamins or you're having unwanted side effects, talk to your doctor about other, safe options," advises Jennifer Shu, MD, pediatrician and co-author of Heading Home with Your Newborn: From Birth to Reality.

And always tell your doctor or midwife about all the dietary supplements you take, including herbal remedies."^

obviously my use of the emphasis hints _ and ^ haven't worked! What did I do wrong!?

Am 4 weeks and 5 days today but still haven't any symptoms. Keep poking boobs to see if they are sore but nothing too severe. Consultant said things should kick in around 6 weeks but even then not to worry if I don't get stereotypical signs. Still can't believe it as had m/c last Oct and just thought I was going to grow old with DH and cats, dogs , chickens and ducks!! Am having a 6 week scan (waiting for appt) as totally paranoid.

morning all. ds 1st birthday today , a year since he ripped me to shreds! I see birthdays from a very different point of view now! can't believe we have enjoyed/survived a year together. he has a cold and conjunctivitis poor love. we haven't bought any presents cause he won't know any difference plus family and friends have already bought to much.

MIL coming today. hoping to keep the secret but a friend said she noticed my protrusion before i told her yesterday. must only be wind but my clothes aren't fitting anymore.

scully · 10/03/2008 10:08

6wks today, hopefully seeing the doctor tomorrow, if not definitely on Thursday.
Pinkali, my symptons have previously started at around 7wks and lasted until 13wks, hopefully you will be one of those licky sympton free people
Sorry to hear your news Carrie, take care
Congrats to the new joiners, welcome

Purlease · 10/03/2008 10:11

Did test on Friday - BFP. I think I am due around the 7th November. Very nervous about the whole thing as my sister recently had a miscarriage. Keeping it quiet until the scan but want to share it with someone - can I join your group? .
This is number 2 - DD will be 3 in June.

Pinkali37 · 10/03/2008 10:14

Oh good... started to worry. It so strange, i'm over analysing every single twinge.. Think i will feel happier when i see it on a screen. at 6 weeks should it have a heart beat?

Congratulations and welcome to Manyhatson, Roca and Pinkali! Lovely to have you all with us!

lackaDAISYcal - how are you doing? Hope things aren't so worrying for you now.

Jojay - the only vits I've tried are Pregnacare and Sanatogen; they're both pretty similar in size, I'm afraid. It's like trying to swallow a brick, isn't it? Divedaisy's advice is good though - ask your midwife if she knows of a better alternative.

Divedaisy - lol! I think that you have to put the emphasis symbols around every single word, which is a massive pain when you want to highlight a passage. Sometimes I wish Mumsnet used tags (like [i] [/i] etc) and had a quote function too.....

So how is everyone today? It's Monday again - boooooo! I've been a bit worried about this ache I've been getting. It's low down in my groin, around my pubic bone. It absolutely throbs all day long and I get it most days. At first, I dismissed it as ligaments stretching etc but now I'm getting aches in my lower back and hips too. I'm concerned that it might be SPD setting in. I had SPD last time (but just mildly) - surely it's far too early to be getting SPD pains? Does anyone else have any experience of SPD?

Hi Creena and thank you. How come you had such an early scan?? xx

Bronte186 · 10/03/2008 10:48

Hi Congratulations to you ! - yes I think I'm due November 15th ish. I've only just found out last week though that am pregnant so it's very early, I'm only 4 weeks and 3 days (and counting), (BFP last Thursday)we've been trying for almost 2 years though so I'm so desperate that nothing goes wrong, I'm trying not to be excited but I'll be so happy if I make it to 12weeks. I'm 36 so i understand theres increased risk that I'll miscarry, I'm being extra careful though and won't be taking any risks.

Regards B...

Roca · 10/03/2008 10:52

Creena - with my last pg I had the same pubic area pain at 6 wks - really thought it seemed like SPD as was hobbing the same as I was when I was like 35 wks but Dr said no way it could be as that can only come from pressure of the baby and you don't have it this early. I think mine started as I carried round my 2 yr old for ages one day - DR finally said it was muscle strain - like groin strain. I could harldy walk for a week - I just wish I had taken it easy, but it was the week before Xmas - unfortunately on Xmas day I had a miscarriage. Sorry, I don't want to scare you just think you should get it checked out and take it easy.

I have no idea whether the two are connected but I just know I put a hell of a lot of strain on myself and pushed and pulled my body just to hobble round the house and supermarket when I should have sat on the sofa til it got better.

Pinkali37 · 10/03/2008 10:53

Hi Bronte186 - I am 2 days ahead of you and found out last Monday but am 4 weeks and 5 days today. Like you I am excited but so worried. Will be much happier when i can see my PEA... Do you have any symptoms yet?
