chatty today

we have all been out to feed the ducks it is dry and warm here

At the moment, probably am but although I don't want to feel as ill as I did first time round I feel I should have more symptoms right now. Though I didn't actually start being sick until 10 weeks, then felt sick right to the end.

witchandchips, I've been tired since August 2006 (a few weeks into first pregnancy).

Afternoon all.
Just back from first appointment with the midwife . Wasn't completely sure of my EDD as AF was very irregular, she confirmed that my calculations were about right. She advised that policy in my area has changed and they no longer go by LMP or ovulation dates when calculating EDD. The will give an accurate EDD only when I get my 12 week scan. Seems fair enough to me as I can't be certain of dates, but a bit of a bummer if you're absolutely sure.
Will get proper booking in appointment within next couple of weeks and only 3 to go until my scan - I'm getting really excited.
Have had really bad nausea for the past few days and totally knackered, hopefully it'll pass in the next couple of weeks. Off into the garden now to enjoy the sunshine .

Just wanted to say hello - this is my first pregnancy and really the first time I've been on a parenting site so just getting used to all the lingo - due 23 Jan 09. Fingers crossed - it all doesnt seem real yet!

congrats terf
glad mw ap wnt wll hm i had mine yest and my scan is in about 3 weeks time 2 it is exciting isnt it only had 20wk one with dd1

Thanks Tink. They don't scan at 20 weeks here - so this scan will be my one and only. Managed to get a really good photo with DD, so fingers crossed for this time too .

it is a shame that you only get the one i get the one in 3 weeks and having nuchal fold scan and one at 20 weeks.

I feel invisable on this thread

Is Teuch about? If she pops in would you ask her to see what squack wants on the wagon thread please?

Very much appreciated

Evening ladies - welcome to the new bods, have to admit I've been away overnight and am struggling to catch up with all the news. Sorry to hear of your loss notyetblooming, look after yourself and make sure you get checked out if you haven't already. Will be thinking of you.

Still feeling ill here. Worse than last time by far, but hoping it'll be over by 12/13 weeks. On the banned foods... I was ridiculously careful last time and it made me miserable with all the things I 'couldn't' eat. This time am being selectively carefree if that makes sense. Am eating banned cheeses if they are cooked, and other banned foods if I have cooked/prepared them myself with fresh ingrediants. I wouldn't eat cold prawns if they've been sat out in the counter all day, but don't see any harm in a freshly made prawn curry. And I had a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel yesterday, it was lovely. That said, I can understand being cautious, especially early on.

MsSparkle don't think you were being ignored - not sure of the answer to your question myself so others probably the same. Think the best thing to do would be to ask your dentist. Is it an NHS dentist? If you are booked in and have AN notes then take those with you and explain the situation. We can't get NHS dentists in our area so have to pay anyway hence complete lack of knowledge on how it works.

MsSparkle, like Lenni and probably most of us on thread, don't know answer to your question - you're more organised than me about that. I must actually register myself and ds at dp's dentist, hopefully on the NHS etc but even if not.

Sorry, i am feeling down and hormonal. I wasn't refering to my question, just in general really. I feel like i'm posting to myself sometimes, like everyone is talking to eachother and acknowledging eachother posts and i feel left out. Have felt this way for a couple of weeks

Not wanting to be center of attention or anything

MsSparkle totally sympathise on feeling down and hormonal, part of the deal unfortunately, things will improve on that front. This is the hardest part in my book. And on the thread... its hard to reply to everything when AN threads fist start, so much happening so quickly and people get to know each other on long running threads like ante-natal/conception/post-natal threads and naturally end up following those people more closely. Give it a few weeks MsSparkle and we'll all know each other in here and you'll not feel left out. I don't really know anyone either... recognise a few names and have 'met' a few people briefly in other threads but no-one else from my usual 'haunts' so am also finding my feet in here. Give it time.

first not fist

Thanks LenniEd, i guess where i was so isolated in my first pregnacy because i knew no one and had never heard of MN, i am pleased that i can talk to people going through what i am going through. It's nice to share all your worries and upsets as well as joy and happy moments with people who are going through the same

Funny, I felt a bit the same; was so used to knowing everyone on my last thread with DC1. It does take time though and we are all feeling a bit tired, hormonal and preg-headed so its difficult to follow (OMG, just counted!) 48 different people. That is a HUGE thread.

Welcome everyone again!

Heres to scans and banter

Hi MsSparkle, yes agree, mumsnet is great for being able to share stuff with other mums and mums to be all going through same stuff! My first time on a discussion board too - I am already addicted to sneakily logging on at work to see the next bit of the thread!

tobemory, you and I must be ridiculously close in age as well as dc1s' ages and hopefully dc2s' ages - I was 38 soon after D was born and will be 40 next year, and D will be just over 20 months on my due date.

Hi elkiedee, I am 40 in July 2009 and DC1 born March 07 when I was 37 (will be 22 months on due date). Didn't find my prince charming until 36 and so snapped him up and starting trying for first baby on our honeymoon! The thought of 2 is v daunting but at least things like the total sleep deprivation won't come as a complete shock this time!

That's funny Tobemory! We and DC1s are very close in age indeed.

Morning Ladies,

Two nights without any tummy cramps! Hurrah!

Did ring midwife earlier int he week though about them and we are going for an EP Scan tomorrow morning, which is quite exciting.

Hows all the morning sickness going this mroning, mine has only really started kicking in this week. I have discovered a toasted bagel when I get into work is helping nicely, not sure it is helping the old waistline though!

morning all

hope everyone is well

i am 7 weeks tom already

hi sparkle how are you
you are having a dec baby then that is exciting you must be a few weeks ahead of me i am 7 weeks tom
i am not sure about dentist i would spk to them or perhaps you can reschedule when you have card through

Hi Sparkle

I completely sympathise with you. I have been feeling much the same - tried a post the other day but no response.

I only check in every once in a while now, partly because I have been so poorly and partly cos when I mentioned how poorly and stressed I have been I got very little in the way of support anyway.

I assumed people hadn't got a very good image of me from my posts and so were steering clear. Thing is, that image isn't really me - its just the newly pregnant, very stressed and extremely poorly me.

I thought, and others have said, that this is the place to come if you are down, poorly, stressed etc and need support - certainly hasn't felt that way to me. I know I am on my third, but this pregnancy is so far removed from my other two I really felt I needed some support from others going through the same thing.

We have had to tell a couple more people in RL now anyway, so after feeling 'lost' on here I now prefer to talk to them rather than post.

BTW we have now told both our boys and they are over the moon thinking of names and looking at baby books - could do without the "but when is the baby coming out" question being repeated every half an hour though.

Right Moos and MsSparkle..... listen up

No one is ignoring you, we are all listening The last antenatal thread i was on it took a while for everyone to get to 'know' everyone else. I give it another few weeks and we will all be sucked in to the thread with friendly banter.

Also i am pregnant and cant possibly be expected to remember everyones names and what they posted I have been known to sit with pen and paper writing little notes to myself so when i posted i could remember!

Now today i am sick when will it end... >
