[charmed24]

anyone here yet?

ooohhhh, I was waiting on someone doing this?

I have a tentative due date of 2nd January.

You?

ive got 2nd jan as well! is this your first?

I'm double-posting with the other thread and getting confused...

so looks like it might be us then dd was 6 days late and ds was 6 days early so could go either way but when i went for my scan they put my date back 6 days

Hi, well, looks like I'm the third to have a (tentative) due date of 2nd January! I've name-changed as it's so early on in the pregnancy and I know a couple of girls on MN. This will (all being well) be my second dc.

congrats and welcome

Good luck ladies I had my dd jan 2007 its fab over christmas everyone runs round after you xxxxxxxx

How are you both feeling? I have nausea coming and going but when it is gone, it feels like it was in my head .

Very achey and stretchy around pelvis, gassy and did have viscious heartburn but it has passed...

Thanks, TST, congrats to you too.

No real symptoms yet, maybe some stretching in the pelvis, but I might be imagining that. Nausea didn't kick in last time until about 7th week, so that's something to look forward to! Viscious heartburn sounds nasty.

hi ive had no nausea really only bits but boy am i teird feel like i could go to sleep forever i know i shouldnt moan about not having many systoms (i didnt with dd but did with ds) but i dont feel pregnant i have to keep reminding myself i am!

Hi, after 9 months of trying and a very irregular cycle I'm joining you lovely ladies. Did a hpt yesterday and had a BFP - woo hoo!! By my calculations my due date will be 4th Jan 2009. No symptoms yet, looking forward to the sickness and sciatica again

Congrats HM!!

I get 2nd January on BBC Preg Calendar but 4th January on Cow&Gate (or Pampers or something...)

Off to check Babycentre...since we all know that babies check these too

Thanks TST, congrats to you too!

Teuch! Congratulations . Do pop over to post-natal and say hello.

Hello everyone,

I got a BFP this morning and so as i concieved in April i will be due in January, not sure of the date yet?

I have booked a doctors appointment for a couple of weeks time. This is my second.

How is everyone doing? I have a strong metallic taste in my mouth, gas and i have had a bit of tummy ache today.

Congratulation MsS .

This is my second too. Feeling pretty good, but I've lost my appetite over the last couple of days - I'm sure I'll make up for it later.

HeathersMummy, were you like me when you found out; not very suprised, shocked or scared like the first time round?

I actually feel quite happy and excited, even though i know what i'm in for (no sleep etc) Maybe it's because i know what a joy my dd is?

Great someone finally got brave enough to start this thread! I reckon I'm due on the 2nd Jan too but will prob end up with elective section as have already had two so had been tentatively posting on the due dec thread. Feeling very sick here although not too much chucking yet thank goodness. Got docs appt on Monday and hoping to sort dates out a bit further - last period March but pretty sure I'm not more than 4/5 weeks despite missing one already - still bf ds so things a bit all over the place. Looking fwd to having seen someone medical, always feels a bit more official then. Still a bit shell shocked as usually takes us a while and this time it's all happened first time trying. Have a dd who's 2.7 years and ds has just turned 10 months.

Massive congrats all round look fwd to chatting - will prob flit between here and dec if that's ok?!

Hi MsS, feel quite different this time around. First time was excited but terrified of what was to come. This time, we've been ttc for so long, that it was relief and much much excitement. DD was a bit of an angel child as a newborn - I was really lucky - here's hoping for the same this time!

Congratulations okaythen

okaythen, it does feel more official when you see the doctor and midwife Can i ask what it's like with two dc as you already have two? I am abit nervous about how i will cope with a 2yr old and a newborn.

Heathersmummy it must be wonderful to be pregnant after ttc for so long I concieved straight away so i have no idea what it must be like to be so frustrated.

As i bought a pack of 2 tests, i took the other test today even though i had already taken the first one and knew i was pregnant. I thought, i won't need this test again so instead of throwing it away i took it

I don't think you ever get bored of seeing 2 lines appear!

Hi everyone. Just wanted to say congrats! I am a Jan 08 mummy - am stunned how time flies! Laughalot is right, it's fab to be on the last knockings over Christmas...except the alcohol of course

Congrats eyeballs! Don't know how I'll feel waddling about over Christmas, my hubby thinks it's fantastic - he'll have his own taxi service (or so he thinks !)

Congrats ladies I had dd in Jan 08 and i remember tentatively joining our thread, it's lovely to have the support off others who know how your feeling and afterwards on post natal too for somewhere to moan

MsSparkle, having two dcs is great but I'll not lie and say it's not hard work at times. When ds was tiny it wasn't as hectic as I'd thought mainly because he was a much faster bfer than dd had been and slept a lot so dd didn't lose too much of our time initially. We've tried to involve dd as much as poss at each stage which has helped. The most hectic time so far was when ds hit around 4 months and wasn't so easy just to leave down. AT the min I'm having to be on my toes a lot too as ds is now crawling and into everything - dd loves being "chased" around the house. The great thing is that they entertain each other and are good pals already - I think once they start smiling and babbling they really charm their big siblings. Don't worry if initially dc1 isn't too fussed by the baby as I think they like their siblings at this stage but it's a bit boring when they just sleep and cry. It's really nice watching that relationship grow, my two are really good together and really make us smile - not sure what's so funny but often they are in fits of giggles in the back of the car just looking at each other. I think in a few years they'll be ganging up on me - just recently when I told dd off she went to find her brother to tell him all about it and that "Mummy is very grumpy today"! I worried a lot about dd and how she'd adjust but it was fine and I think this time it'll be different again because they'll have each other so a new arrival won't be such a shock.

Couple of things just to look out for don't panic if dc1 gets really clingy towards the end of this pg my dd got very protective of me and it was impossible to move without falling over her the last few weeks but from talking to friends this is common. Also don't take it personally if dc1 sulks with you a bit once you get home from hospital, dd prefered dad for a few days but then softened - I think she was a bit shy and unsure as I'd gone away then reappeared with an extra person. Oh and don't feel bad if dc2 doesn't monopolise your time the same way dc1 did, they've got an extra person to entertain them to make up for it! HTH

kidsfromfame, I should have mentioned that I'm on a namechange too for the same reasons.

Hope everyone is well today, I'm off swimming with ds this morning, he does waterbabies classes.
