Brand new BFP's - anyone due a June 2009 baby?

[summerbird]

Hi there

Did the test last night even though DH wanted me to wait a few days. I wanted to just do it to see if i could have a glass of wine or not and hoo-bloody-rah after 6 months of TTC number one i got a BFP on the free ClearBlue digital test!

So need to get a GP appointment but reckon i am due on 5 June 2009.

Anyone want to join me?

Morning all!

Salet, you're not that far from me. I guess your options would be Epsom General, St Helier (Carshalton), St Georges (Tooting) and Kingston. You could always try posting on mumsnet local to get a few more opinions of each unit, I think there was a thread about St Helier a while back. Congratulations!

I'm still feeling really sick most of the time and not sleeping that well either. Don't normally have a problem with sleeping

bobswendy I know at the Maternity Hospital I am at they have a nursery for 1 - 8 year olds, so they might have something similar where you are going.

Morning all,

thanks for all the welcome messages and advice. It sounds like some of you have started with the morning sickness already I'm glad to say that apart from having really tender boobs, feeling tired most of the time and having to go to the loo a bit more than normal I seem to be ok. I have loads of veins coming up on my boobs is this normal?
When does the nausea usually start?

I lost my job the day after I found out I was pregnant so I now have the delightful task of trying to find work again...knowing I probably won't be entitled to any maternity pay. But I guess we are going to need as much money as we can get together for the new baby so best to get some work now whilst I can still work and before I'm obviously pregnant!

Welcome to salet and ermintrude!

Salet - that's terrible about your job! Poor you. I am a student and only work part-time (temping) so no maternity pay for me. I think there is a maternity benefit you can get (or at least you could five years ago) if you worked for so long (maybe 100 days?) during your pregnancy. It's designed to help people like us, but I don't know yet if I'll even have worked 100 days! I'm going to go to CAB in the new year and check it out I think. Plus, I'm only here until end of year and if they ask me to stay I'm not sure I want to. Got dd and uni and dissertation. Plus childcare so expensive it's not really worth it. (No working tax credit as only do 10-12 hrs a week). I'm doing it for my CV really.

Nausea usually starts about 5/6 weeks but you may be lucky and avoid it.

I've been paranoid this morning as very little nausea, but have some now. Lovely.

chocciedooby and daisy - thanks for thinking of me. I'm feeling fairly positive.

Don't know what my area is like for maternity, don't think Daisy's list had any Scottish ones. Was pretty good to me last time though.

Bobswendy - I'm always taking dd to appointments, it'll be fine.

Right, better go and finish up work before rushing to train station.

Hope everyone is well.

thanks girls, have to bring them anyways, as we don't know anyone here lol.

salet, it's not just a choice of where you'll give birth, but what kind of care you'd like beforehand, which depends on whether your GP has a midwife team or you have to go to a clinic at the hospital or whatever. I'm going to talk about home birth at my booking appt next week, although my GP did say, in a kindly tone, that although they wouldn't look on me as a freak exactly they might be worried at such a geriatric trying to have a home birth! I've had 2 straightforward deliveries though, so it's a different set of circs.

My nausea lsts all day, with 2-3 episodes of vomiting or retching. I work from home these days, but well remember the horror of having to get tubes and trains to work whilst clutching a plastic bag and breathing slowly. Never actually threw up on public transport, but did endow several gutters and hedges.... So hats off to you girls who are travelling to and from work; hope you suddenly feel digestively normal at 12 weeks!

Will I get shot by a lynch mob of hormonal PG women if I confess to now being 10+4 and having not yet thrown up or retched

The worst I've had is low-level nausea. Round week 7, I just had to keep eating to keep it at bay. Now, I just get vaguely nauseous when I am overtired. This freaked me out at first, but now I'm just considering myself very very lucky indeed

Hi all
blimey you lot talk
Will try to catch up in a minute..lol
Have been to the MW this morning for booking in which was quite nice. She was lovely and same one I had for both the dds. She was also very reassuring about my pains/cramps which was good. It is also my birthday today so am officially 31 and been spoilt rotten by dh and the trio..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEMO!!!!!!

jools I won't shoot you but wil admit to being insanely jealous as it's the MS that makes me hate this part of pregnancy....

Still slightly better so far today but am offically 10 weeks yeah!!!!

Have a lovely birthday Nemo - am loving the topical name change by the way

lol thanks jools..am also very of people getting to ten weeks..lol although dont know why as I am 9+3 and got my scan 3 weeks today

and doris..sorry..pg brain

happy birthday nemo

salet and bigcar i used to live in that area too - you make me all homesick!

jools i am impressed that you have escaped the nausea - i am feeling it but not being sick which is a good thing.

Happy Birthday Nemo
Very Jools You are so lucky to escape this horrible nauseous feeling. Mind you, I have not actually vomited as yet so have to count myself as lucky as well. I am 7+5 today. It seems to be going very very slowly.
I am amazed by the fact that I can stay up until 11pm whereas in my last pgs I was tucked up in bed by 8! Maybe that has yet to hit me.
My pg brain is mush. I can't finish sentences or remember where I have put things.
I still have 4 wks to go until my scan.

Hi all!!! Have to say that I am still eating like a horse tho it does at least keep the nausea at bay... I am however being incredibly clumsy and actually spent most of yesterday quite dizzy and faint (Tho feel much better today)
As I came back from supermarket today with DS2 (almost 3) and went to pick up DS1 from school at lunchtime with just one rather heavy shopping bag I fell off the pavement into a huge puddle almost face down ... knees in the muddy water, the full works!!! Felt such an idiot and had to pick up DS1 pretty dripping wet and muddy! v embarassing... hope this won't continue for next 6 months!!!

ttcno3 sorry I just had to laugh at the picture, I'm sure it wasn't very funny at the time! As you know centre of grvity changing and all that but i wouldn't have thought it started this early?

Oh man, that was not a good appointment today.

Wasn't actually my booking in, just scan and metabolic because of Diabetes.

So they do the ultrasound, can see the sack, but no heartbeat. Confirm that I am positive when I conceived (yes, I know when I had sex and when I was ovulating, thanks!). Decide to do a trans-vaginal scan instead.

Sack. Teeny tiny flutter of heartbeat. Maybe. Too small to tell. Sack is nice and round, this is good. Have PG symptoms, this is good.

Have to go back in a week for another scan and on Thursday for more bloods.

And then, I'm meeting with the diabetes doctor, and he keeps saying things like "even if this pregnancy terminates..." and "provided this pregnancy continues..." ARE YOU FING KIDDING ME?!?!?!?

So DH and I just had a fight, because we were going to tell people after today, since I have got to tell work as I will be out an afternoon every two weeks (not to mention next Tuesday!) and I don't see the logic in telling them and not telling my friends and family. Simon thinks we should wait until after Tuesday, he said 'because this is a hellish situation!'

He has since apologized and admitted that he couldn't have said anything more awful if he'd thought about it for 3 or 4 weeks.

So prayers for a good scan next week, please!

Oh no Tee I have fingers toes and everything crossd for you..

with regard to telling people, I tend to go with only tell people you feel comfortable with should the worst happen, as I feel that at least if some of my RL friends know they may be able to help etc, however maybe not what you want to hear atm. but is my normal rule...

thinking of you come and destress with us when you need too...

And one positive your Dh has apologiosed!!!!

aww tee prayers of stickiness coming your way xxx
Agree tell people you feel comfortable with. I have told friends and a couple of mums at the school incase I need to pull in some favours on dropping/collecting ds.

tee - how awful for you, bet you feel like you've been through the washing machine!
i will keep everything firmly crossed for you for next week, its a good sign that you have all the symptoms and there is def a heartbeat there.

sure your dh will be super nice to you now tho (mine would be!!) make sure he spoils you and looks after you

i have only told people that i know are supportive, i also told my boss because i need time off for the scan etc, she has been really good and will keep it quiet until i'm ready for the world to know

Good luck Tee. I hope all goes well and that your little bean is safe and snug....

Yes, good luck Tee. No point telling you not to worry, but try not to worry too much, and really hope next week brings good news for you.

I have only told DH so far. My DC are 10 and 6 so we really want to tell them before anyone else, which means I can't mention it to other mums because one of them would be bound to blab (sad but true). Would normally have told my family, now I'm nearly 8 wks, but we are all worried about my little niece who is in hospital with nasty respiratory problems so it doesn't seem like the right time to make a cheery announcement. And thus far I've managed to puke after lunch, before school and in the evening, and I work from home, so my secret's safe!

tee i am thinking of you and hoping everything is ok, at least there is a heartbeat. i agree that you should tell people you feel comfortable. also your DH is worried too and if he is like mine he is bound to say the wrong thing occasionally.

big hugs x

hey tee,sorry appointment wasn't what you wanted, hugs and fingers crossed for next week.

Morning ladies.... soo tired,cannot wait for this to lift.

Hi there. I've changed my name because I found out that some mates are on here and my other name was a bit obvious! I've changed my name on the new list.

I like the anonymity!

I hope you are all well..... I've had a headache that I haven't been able to shift for ages and it's doing my head in (literally). I'm also getting really bad cramps, although they go when I rest so I don't think it's anything sinister. Roll on 12 week scan. All this uncertainty is horrible......
