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

Hi everyone we have just got back from Somerset today. Am sad for you diddle glad you sound so positive.
The cramps went away without any bleeding etc. you would think this being my 4th pregnancy that I would know what is normal!
We have told 5 people my sister and her husband my friend and her husband (they were away with us) we also told our DS who has been sworn to secrecy. I felt terribly sick and dizzy every morning was the reason for telling them, as it was fairly obvious. I'm hoping this is a good sign that the baby is still there and alright.
I'm not planning on telling anyone else until way after 13week scan I think that if we tell DD1 to early it will be to long for her to wait, also because my SIL mc a baby that would be the same age as DD2 if it had been born and she has been TTC since but nothing has happened I'm hoping that if we wait a while to tell them she might conceive.
I am going to the doctors tomorrow to tell them I am pg but I'm undecided about what to do. We live on the borders of 2 London boroughs my doctors is in the other borough to which I live and so is the hospital in which I had the other 3 none of this is a problem as this was the case for no3 BUT the hospital of the borough I am in now offers a midwife led unit which the other one doesn't but the sensible thing to do would be to change my doctors as well as you need to see the midwifes at your surgery and they work at their local hospital IYSWIM also my doctors is not that close to me and it would be good to find one closer, but a bit of me wants to have this baby in the same place as the others but it does have a high MRSA stat??? What should I do?

Hiya ChaCha

I am here, have been out all day with DH, Only real day off this week as had to do some work on Thursday!!

I actually don't feel too bad today and am even feeling a little motivated about work tomorrow although I think this is only because it is an inset I think the real 'Oh My God - Not Work' will kick in on Tuesday when kids arrive - I just have no idea how I will cope with them non-stop from 8.30 til 3.15 - I have no frees and only teaching aids some mornings, what do i do if i am going to puke, i am not meant to leave the kids alone?????

I am going to tell my boss tmrw as we have a big inset on the school develpment and next year - I know it is a bit early but they are already recruiting for next year already - plus I think they are going to guess something is not right with me.

One thing about work though is I have done hardly anything - I usually do loads!!!!

So sorry to hear you are having an emotional day - I didn't get out of bed on Friday I cried all day and didn't know how I was going to carry on for the next 14 weeks of term, but today I do feel better - It really comes and goes - I feel completely out of control!!!!

Don't know who mentioned the butterflies in tummy thing, but I think I have Rhinos - my stomach is constantly moving and is really painful at times - dr gave me magnesium tricsilate to calm it - seems to work!!!

Hope you had a happy bday Pee Pee with loads of great pressies!

Diddle - hope your weekend was as peaceful and relaxing as you deserve.

Well I will post tmrw with an update of my day. ChaCha I am online all day in class and have MN minimised so check pretty regularly - keeps me sane so if you want a chat - if you can - just type!!!!

Hope your day goes well and that we are not too knackered!!!!

BBBYYYYEEEEEEE

Hi all, sorry to hear you have had such a rough day Chacha, I'm sitting here feeling very sick so thought I'd log on to distract myself, before I bring back my dinner, sorry too much info!!!

Cp3 with 3 kids already, where & when do you get the time for so much bding? my ds seems to have a radar that senses whenever my dh even gives me a cuddle at night. Like Chacha's friend I don't even get to practice as I conceived this one & ds first time, before anyone says it I know I am extremely fortunate and should count my blessings but it would be nice just to practice for a change . Will definitely be tying one of us in a knot after this one is born so that we can have a bit of fun without the worry!!! Although with two kids I don't know when I'll find the time or the energy

Have had a really great day today in Southend with ds, dh & my parents. Dh took ds on loads of rides, some of them very daring for a three year old and then we played on the beach and what a difference a year makes as when we went to Cornwall in May last year ds would not go near the sea, today he was in paddling and throwing shells. The water was absolutely freezing but he was in his element, I paddled for a minute but it was so cold I think even bump shivered. The sea air made all the difference though and I didn't feel sick until we got home which was nice as my afternoons have been rather blighted recently.

Well better go, ds is going to bed and is then back at pre-school tomorrow - hooray, although I think I'm going to miss him as we've had a really good couple of weeks and now I'm going to crash out in front of the tv.

Hope Chacha and Enthusia get through the first day back at school ok, just let the little darlings do what they like when you're feeling rough, you'll be their favourite teachers for weeks to come

chacha - still feeling sick sick sick! Hope you are feeling better, we are still managing to keep it a secret from most of our friends. One of my best friends came round today and I found it really hard not to say anything, but promised my dh.

xena - which boroughs are you with? Perhaps one of us knows the midwife led unit and can give you some extra opinion. I think I would stick with what I know esp if it all went well and you were happy with it.

Enthusia - hope your first day back at school goes well.

I had a good weekend did a lot of relaxing and a bit of DIY as i don't any excuse to avoid it now. Had my large glass of chardonnay which was heaven but went straight to my head.

Diddle, glad you had a good weekend, perfect chardonnay weather I would have thought. There's plenty of diy to do round here if you're a bit of an enthusiast.

running late today as ds slept in till 9:30 and so did I as I saw no point in getting up when I didn't have too. Have a good day all.

Had a nice day yesterday even though DH and I were worried because of the tummy rumbles and discharge. I even started to get tiny shooting pains (didn't hurt) in my groin area. The discharge seems to have settled now. But, who knows what will happen. GP is not worried.

One pregnancy comment made yesterday by a family member. I heard him say something but just totally ignored him. My clothes are really snug now and my belly has grown. Wore a big cardigan yesterday to try and hide any obvious signs. I feel really bad having to lie to so many people.

I couldn't face work today. Just gonna spend the day chilling in the garden.

I hope those of you suffering with morning sickness are feeling better. Just think.....Only a few weeks of it left. I can't imagine what it must be like. I have only had the nausea and have really sore nipples now.

Have a nice day.......what gorgeous weather.

Diddle,

To stick grins in you need to write in lower case.

Hello all, i'm back home now and feeling very very excited as am 10 weeks tomorrow and just come off phone to hosp who said i could have my scan after 10+6 (!) and before 13+8. so that means I could have the scan next Tues/Wed (they have appts). i can't wait to see him/her!!!

Do you think it matters that much to have the scan at 10+6/11 weeks instead of 12/13 weeks? Is this a case of 'better to wait' until more the little one is more developed?

Hey Diddle, i just scrolled down and read about your news - very sorry to hear, and hope you let us know when you next get your bfp. have vowed to have similar healthy/positive attitude as yourself if things don't go to plan with my pg - including large glass of wine and working out getting in shape and in good health (wish I'd got my stomach muscles into better shape beforehand, i have terrible posture!) bye, JenJam

Diddle, just read about your HPT. I'm so sorry that you're going through this again. I will just say again that I had a very similiar experience to yours and am now very optimistic about this pregnancy. I have a friend who also had two miscarriages in a row and went on to have a big, healthy boy the next time she got pregnant. Two losses doesn't necessarily mean that anything is wrong. Best of luck to you and do keep us posted!

JenJam,

Have they told you what kind of scan they will do if you go in the next few days? I am due to go in on the 21st for my first scan and have been told that it will be an external ultrasound. I have been in the past and had the internal one as I was only about 9weeks.

What hospital are you at? They're good to give you an appointment so soon. I was given my appointment and told if i could not make it then i would have to wait at least another two weeks! I am with Queen Charlotte's in London.

You must be really excited.
Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

Tex & Jem jam - thanks for your kind words. i'm still keeping an eye on you all, feel like i've known you all for ages. I have jloined the TTC thread now so hopefully it won't take long before we are trying again and on our way.
keep them crossed for me

peepee i'm booked in for dating and nuchal scan at UCLH at 9 a.m. next wed (19th). I'll be 11 weeks exactly. they can't do the rest of the booking appt until 3rd May

I've just been trying to catch up on the thread a bit and saw that some of you watched the Life Before Birth program. The poetry was so irritating but I enjoyed the imagery. After seeing it we decided to have one of those 3D/4D ultrasounds! There's a place in Ashford that does them and I'm so excited. I've been having difficulty embracing this pregnancy, so afraid of another loss, and I think it'll be great to 'see' the baby and help the bonding process. Great for DS too and they give you pictures and a DVD so the rest of the family can share in it too. My parents will be thrilled. They miss out on so much since we're so far away.

How is everyone doing with the morning sickness? Mine seems to get much better and then much worse. I keep thinking it's coming to an end and then I spend a day with my head down the loo. Generally feeling a bit brighter though. I've got DS trained to let me lay down on the couch for an hour in the afternoon and it makes a world of difference. I call it his DVD time and he can choose whatever he wants to watch and have a snack as long as Mommy can rest for a bit. Thank goodness!

Hope you're all doing well!

tex - how far along are you now?

Evening All :O

Guess i was fortunate to have an u/s so early. I saw the heartbeat at 5+3. Hope it's a good sign.

Enthusia, i didn't make the early train, i sat on the end of my bed crying my eyes out - i'm not sure why, it might be because i was not prepared the night before (which is highly unusual) as i fell asleep too early and had to rush around via the toilet bowl all morning! Eventually made it in and didn't suffer from any sickness at all, just frequent trips to the bathroom!
It was good to be back and i feel more motivated now, would just prefer the teaching day to
start at 10am instead of 8 these days. How was your day? Did you tell them?

I have had awful nightmares recently and some really vivid dreams, some of them a bit em..strange to say the least! I've also had these AF type cramps come and go and a bit of backache is that normal?

Since am just home, am off for a lie down.
Cyber hugs ((( hugs )))

Hi yingers I live on the greenwich/bexley borders. The one with the midwife led unit is Queen Elizabeth the other one is Queen Marys. Any advice appreciated

Good to see you back Tex, are you feeling a bit better? Is your sister over yet? Good luck with the scan. a friend of mine had one done three years ago and that was amazing so I bet they are even better now.

By the way Tex the offer is still there if you want to meet up, since having ds I've been lucky enough to make a really good network of friends with kids around the same ages and we always welcome new members to the group, we're all as mad as hatters and are forever organising things to do with the kids to keep them amused.

Xena this goes for you too as I'm only in Bromley.
Can't really comment on either hospital even though I'm local, although if you are happy with Queen Mary's would it make it less stressful to be familiar with the hospital rather than going somewhere new? As for MRSA I would have thought they would have you in and out with this one on the 6 hour discharge if you wanted so there would be less risk of infection that way.

Excuse the pun but I am utterly sick of this morning sickness now, I am fed up to the back teeth of losing the late afternoon / evening because I feel so crap . I know I should be grateful to be getting these signs etc and as I start 11 weeks tomorrow it shouldn't go on for much longer but roll round the 2nd trimester. I really don't know how you 3rd & 4th time mums do it. Sorry for moaning just needed to get that off my chest

think I'm going to get myself a drink and go and watch Cassanove in bed, speak to you all tomorrow.

Chacha, just popped back to say have a look at babycentre.co.uk, they have a pregnancy calendar and it talks a bit about vivd dreams in week 11.

The site also covers virtually every pregnancy worry and niggle, found it invaluable with ds and still get monthly updates on development etc even now.

Thanks Beksmum .. will check it out. Goodnight everyone. Enthusia sweetie, i feel you must have come home shattered and are out like a light. Thinking of you

Hi everyone not posted for a while but whenever I get a chance on the computer I always read this thread and keep up to date.

I have been wondering why I've had no sickness this time and now maybe i know why

had a really hectic day at work yesterday and loads of bags and boxes to carry and although I kbnow its probably not the reason I can't help but wonder if thats anything to do with the fact i started bleeding last night. I would say its more than spottin and i have some cramps so its not looking good. Still fresh red blood this morning. Am going to try and get an appt at the Early Preg Unit at the hospital I work for but they are usually booked up for at least a week.

DH not being terribly supportive as this preg unplanned and he is not happy about it. In fact we have had a couple of rows over it.

So feeling really down today. Glad i've got a day off to rest as much as i can with a 7 month old

Morning everyone!
So sorry to hear alot of you are still suffering with ms. Hope it clears soon.
Diddle- Can't wait to see you on a ttc thread. Yep it has been worrying for us but nothing much you can do apart from hanging in there. So nice to still have you here!
Beks- I'm really lucky this time around (weight wise). Mind you, I definitly was'nt the first time around. Went from 7 stone (was very underweight) all the way to 13 and 1/2 stone!! Thus have that many stretchmarks across tum, boobs, thighs etc I resemble a road atlas.
My milk came back (yippee) and mw says maybe this one is a girl as this pg is different so far (milk through early, no weight gain on hips yet just tum etc). Also she tried to hear the heartbeat yesterday but the little beany boo kept hiding.
We've got our next scan next Monday. Dp is so excited as he was'nt able to see the 7 week one.
Read a wonderful article and hopefully will put it into practise when labour time comes. Basically, it says the if the mother-to-be is left to her own devices and not distracted, she will produce enough endorphins to manage even a very painful labour. Apparently being in a darkened room and not disturbed too much is vital then you let yourself go into what's happening and that's it! So thought it would be a laugh to try and if all else fails then back to gas and air . Think I'm a bit of a hippy at heart.

hellkat - how have you managed to get so many scans. i don't think my doctor would do that for me. might ask for next time when we get there.
How are you feelng?
