Due in Nov 2005??!!!

[rodeo1]

Hello!

I'm starting a Due in Nov thread! A bit early maybe, but hey! By my calcs(!) I'm due Nov 3rd, are there any other ladies out there around the same time? I'm sure loads for Nov haven't even missed their period yet!

Anyway, I'm 27
pg no 4, dd1 born ar 26 weeks, sadly didn't make it, but now happily have dd2 age 5 and ds age 3 next week. And 1 lovely dp of 7 years!

Sorry if you've read this for a 2nd time but was advised by sallie to post on here!! x x x

Wow how great is this thread, welcome & congratulations to all the new mums to be - are we all mad or was it just boring on TV in February!!!

Like BusyAlexmum, I know my dates too as it was after a much needed girls night out, that I dragged my computer mad hubby away from his gaming. Can't even blame it on the booze though as I was the designated driver & only had less than half a glass of wine!!!

CP3 has the dr called you yet? Glad to hear your sense of smell has gone mental, roll on the sickness I had a snooze yesterday while ds was a sleep and woke up with the worse sickness so far - serves me right for being a lazy baggage, I should have been doing the ironing!!!

Hellkat hope ds has/had a great birthday by the time you read this. By the sounds of your week this week you'll spend all of next week with your feet up.

Better go as taking ds to a party, have a great day all and roll on week 13.

Sorry Jen, was typing my own message & didn't see yours pop up, yep it's normal, just blame it on the hormones and make dp breakfast in bed at the weekend as your penance .

Don't worry you will settle down and it is scary first time round as you are moving all the goal posts in your relationship with dp, now that you'll be responsible for someone else, but it is all worth it in the end. I won't say it's easy as I had pd for about 2 years after ds was born and often wanted to pack my bags and run, but you don't and it all works out in the end - wouldn't swap dh or ds for the world now and it can't be all that bad when I've gone in for number 2.

Take everyday as it comes and grovel for forgiveness when you're being a witch and let him watch extra football or whatever it is he likes to do to ease your conscience. Keep smiling.

Panic Stations, have had a little brown discharge this morning, no pain with it, but i;m very worried. got a house full of kids no chance for a rest. has anyone else has this. could it be nothing?

Oh Diddel I'm so sorry. Are you OK? I've never had this but lots of other poeple have & they were fine. I'm sure teh verdict is that brown blood like the end of a period is Ok. Some women get it around the time their peroid was due . Its bright red blood that is a problem. But I'm not a doctor so please please call your Mw or GP or early pregnancy unit and get some expert advice. Dont worry that you cant rest - although it woudl make you feel better i dont think it makes any difference to teh baby ie if you are going to miscarry resting doesn't make any difference. Sory to be so blunt but I knwo thats what you are worried about.

Diddle try and rest. Its prob just spotting how far on are you????

Beks mum i feel like shit. Hooray Did you see i tested again and the line went vrilliant blue before my wee even reached the second window.

Doctor not phoned yet, but i am feeling posotive as a friend told me that most appeals do get in and definaltey when there are genuine reasons like mine.

cads do not worry , its all normal. I am either stressing, shouting or crying at present. Dp thinks ive turned celibate and the kids avoid me like the plague

Diddle - I had brown discharge last week, as soon as it had started it stopped again. I wasn't too worried as I had some spotting with my first pregnancy and all turned out ok. I would probably only worry if it went on for some time, call doctors if you are still unsure x

thanks for thw ords of wisdom everyone, i'm 9 wks. have been to the doctors and they have boked me a scan for monday and advised me t rest all weekend, sounds good to me. fingers crossed

Diddle, hope everything is well with your scan, just try to chill out till then. I had my booking app with the midwife today except i ended up not really booking cos i have not chosen a hospital yet!!!! has anyone been to stepping hill hosp in stockport?????. i am going to look round stepping hill and tameside in the next week or so then i must make up my mind as i have to go back to the midwife for full booking.(Im typical woman and cannot make a decision DH advice was "oh just pick one")I have also just booked to go on hols to tenneriffe at end of month for some sunshine at least it will take my mind off morning sickness.

Twinkle, I also soo need some sunshine. Thinking about going away in May. Should be a nice time to go somerwhere in Europe as not too hot yet.
Had 1st Dr's app today. Not really very helpful to be honest, but at least she will get the ball rolling for the hospital bit.
I can not believe how many we are on this chat now. It's great!!! Good luck to us all!!
Hugs, Dangirl xx

Diddle,

I had exactly the same problem about 10 days ago (at 7 to 8 weeks) It was only on wiping, and then maybe only once a day. The discharge was brownish or really light pink. It stopped after about 5 days(some days I was clear) and I feel fine. There was no pain with the discharge. My GP was made aware of the situation and he advised rest. He advised me to go to the EPU only if it got painful and heavy. I have had several m/c's and have always had pain and bleeding. I have a freind who has been through the same (at 7to8 weeks) and continued to have a normal pregnancy and healthy baby.

Please don't worry about it. I no what it is like. There is this fear every time you need to go to the loo and at this stage there are a lot of visits. Just chill out, what will be will be!

I really hope that it will all turn out fine.

Hiya everyone.

Had my first midwife appointment yesterday which went really well and answered a lot of my questions. I explained all about my crying, having no energy, motivation or willingness to do anything and that I was finding this really hard. She said I had classic ante-natal depression symptoms and asked about family history. My mum had really bad postnatal depression with me and in the last two years has been diagnosed with a lack of serotonin (happiness hormones). I have always been quite stable emotionally, but midwife thinks the extra hormonal strain of pg has opened up a can of hormones that my normal coping strategies can't cope with. She has taken blood to do a vareity of tests including thyroid - as I have put on 1 stone in 8 weeks - and has said it is vital I see a dr quickly to get it all sorted out. She was so down to earth and made it all sound so normal that I do not feel so much of a freak now.

I suppose I did expect rather a lot out of pg, eg, blossoming, happy times etc, not how crap I feel, will be very glad to get it all on its way up again.

I hope everyone else out there is ok, esp Diddle, hows it going? My thoughts are with you.

Going to try and pamper myself a bit today - starting off with a really good cry. speak to you all later.

Oh and welcome to all new peeps too.

Hi Enthusia, that's comforting to hear. maybe i've got a bit of that too. came in last night and bawled for 1.5 hours sat on sofa while bf read all the threads in order to try understand why it's not 100% blooming and joy. does knowing what's wrong help? ##

well it's a beautiful day where I am - am heading off to the south coast in a bid to cheer myself up. hope you're feeling better, JenJam

Knowing that I am not going mad and that this can be quite normal helped alot. Also the fact that there are things people can do to help also made me feel this was only a brief episode and that I would be able to get back on my feet sooner than 9 months down the line.

Because of my mum's experience they also put me as a high risk mum so that I can have more check-ups and more support when the baby is born incase I too suffer from postnatal depression.

I went to Brighton yesterday - the sea air, getting away and being with my fantasic hubby all helped a little, hope it helps you too.

Morning all, Hope you're feeling ok Diddle, sending {{{hugs}}} and keeping everything crossed for you.

CP3 hooray for feeling rough, I lol when you said the line went blue so quickly, before you know it you'll have your head down the toilet and groaning to yourself that you wished you felt better, us women we're never happy

Enthusia, sorry you're having such rough time this early on. When I was carrying ds I expected everything to be great and to feel blooming and serene - yeah right! is all I can say to that, it was nine months of feeling like crap but the end result is worth every moment of this horrid 40 weeks and like the say about childbirth you do forget how rough you felt.

I feel rough every evening now and bemoan the fact to my husband and he just laughs and says don't you remember this from last time around!!! Have also forgotten how painful it was giving birth so I'm sure 31 weeks from now I'll get a very rude reminder of that too. Hope the good weather makes you feel a bit brighter.

Have a good day all I'm off for a bath as dh has just taken ds swimming after letting me have a lie in until 10:15am hooray. My turn to get up tomorrow though.

Can't believe it - just typed epic message, then DS came and pressed something and now its all gone. Great.

Have just arrived at my parents house for 10 days - DH travelling for work for a week, so made dash for parents to have week of R&R while DS gets spoiled rotten - lovely.

Hi there cp3 - hope all going well with you. Feeling pretty ok - not actually throwing up at all, but feel sick for most of the day usually, but it's bearable. Doesn't stop me eating at least.... Go from wanting to eat everything to feeling sick at the thought of food. So wierd. Have just stolen a piece of DS's chocolate chicken from grandparent's - bad mummy bad mummy. Think I've been really lucky with ms - was only sick once with DS, but then didn't know i was pregnant til 13 weeks!!! Made for a nice short pregnancy!

Diddle - hope everything is ok with you. know how worried you must be feeling, but hang in there - lots of love and support from all of us here.

Jenjam - think DH has become world expert on moods in pregnant women...bless him. At the moment he is creeping through door after work and looking for tell tale moody crazy glint in eye of dearest wife. poor chap. Think it's all normal, just need to try to make the boys understand that 1) we cant help it and 2) we're not enjoying it anymore than they are. Hopefully with pass soon anyway.

busyalexsmummy - how is DP? Is he coming round to idea, or still being a bit tricky? Really hope everything is ok for you.

Right guys, that's it for now! Take care all

Hi there everyone, I'm an oldie on the conception board. Did a couple of HPTs on earlier in the week and got some shocking BFPs!!! It's been over 3 years since i've TTC but have had endo and ovarian cyst and hence 2 laps were performed. My last one was a few months ago and haven't really been TTC so you can imagine how shocked we both were :O
It still won't register and i'm just so anxious to have my scan on Monday which should see me (if calculations are correct) at 6 weeks! EDD November 27th. I have been pretty sick weeks 4 and 5 - finding it difficult to work, throwing up all the time and strange twingey like feelings almost like AF but without the harshness (if that makes sense) I cry for no reason, was in absolute tears at work and cried at a bloody film last night (it wasn't a sad one), I also cried at a dead bird in the middle of the road. This is not to mention DH gets it a lot too, he can't do right for wrong, i'm sure this is just a phase, LOL :O Poor guy.
Well, its been a long time but at last, a BFP. After typing my little essay i think it's time for a nap...

ChaCha - Age 29
DH - 31
EDD - 27.05 (number 1)

Whats gonna happen when i go to see my ob/gyno on Monday and have the scan???

Hi Cha cha and many congratulations!! You are a star for copings with all these problems & procedures and then managing to conceive by accident!!!! I've not been through it ( TTC I mean) but have watched my Bf and her DH try for years . i really hope thinsg are Ok for you both

I have to get a scan on Tuesday as well.Do you knwo what type of scan you are to get? As you will barely be 6 weeks i suspect it might be transvaginal scan - do you knwo about these? Its not a big deal really, just can be a surprise if you are expecting the other kind ( dont knwo what they are called - the ones where they put gel on your belly???).

Are you in the USA? Coz maternity care in the Uk is quite diffreent from in the US so some of the things we say may not apply to you

PS sorry i am not illiterate just a really bad typist and usually typing with a baby on my lap "helping"

Hi and thanks for info
I am sure that he said ultrasound but i can't be 100%. I've had lots of the other type anyway and so it makes no difference to me. I'm in the UK and its a gorgeous day today

Thanks to you all for your support and positive words. feel really drained, and sick and tired, pregnant feeling at the moment. still bleeding a little heavier than yesterday but its coming and going and fingers crossed, but no clots. Really stressed and worried, but i know that won't make any difference, what will be will be. i will keep you all posted.
keep them crossed for me

what a lovely day, just back from brighton. slept all the way back, belly full of mini doughnuts and a 99, dribbling on table, no surprise I feel much batter after all of that (ha ha typo - batter meant to say better) there was a very cute baby on the train, dribbld over that a bit too, and my lovely BF was more concerned and considerate than any woman could ask for so am feeling quite positive again. congratulations chacha - look forward to chattign more. and that's about it from me for now.

sorry diddle, I've just seen your message - we must've been typing at same time. I didn't mean to be inconsiderate. hope the resting helps, and all is well on Monday. big hug, Jen

Diddle,
Just to say you are I am thinking of you. I have been in you situation and know how difficult it is. Hope all goes well!
Love, Dangirl

sorry, messy message.

Take Care Diddle. Must be so worryng for you

Diddle, just read your posts and hope that your okay. Just relax try not to worry, we're here.
