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 gals, sorry I've been MIA. We've all been really ill but we're doing much better.

I just read through the thread quickly and saw a few questions. Hope I can help:

• Underwire wires can put pressure on the milk producing glands so it's best to avoid them during pregnancy. I find that wearing M&S Secret Support vests is more comfortable than a bra right now. I sleep in one too and it helps the discomfort by at least holding my boobs in one place so I don't get that painful movement when I roll over.

• The problem with spinach is the vitamin A. Too much vitamin A can cause problems in pregnancy but I can't remember exactly what it does. That's why we're supposed to avoid pate, liver and other types of offal too. I had a great French OB/GYN when I was pregnant with DS and she always said a little bit wouldn't hurt me if I really wanted it.

Hellkat, the early scan is the 'fill-your-bladder' kind of scan. That's like torture for a pregnant woman! I can barely hold an ounce of wee right now without running to the loo.

Feeling OK here. I've had a very stuffed up nose which has actually controlled some of the morning sickness I think. I usually start retching if I smell something that makes me sick but I can't smell anything right now!

I'm in Chislehurst, Kent but we're hoping to move into Blackheath this summer. Going to be a bit crazy changing docs, midwives, hospitals, etc halfway through the pregnancy but we ended up doing the same thing with DS and I survived. Anyone know a good GP in Blackheath?

Hope you're all doing well. I plan to be around more once I get over this virus. Take care!

Sounds fab, Do you think you could set up some video cameras to watch the dads for the weekend - it would be hilarious! I bet they come over all macho and say it was easy when you get back lol

Oh yea, forgot to say we're not telling either but my sister is coming over from Texas at the beginning of April and it's going to be so hard to keep it a secret! I'm going to Texas in May and I'd really like to be able to tell my parents in person. This will be our last baby so this is my last chance to tell them face to face. Also by then we'll have had the nuchal scan and had the all-clear so I can give them the happy news and reassure them that it's all going well. After my two miscarriages last year I know they're going to worry.

hi rodeo1 hadfield is in the high peak its a little village outside of glossop(if that helps) we have only lived here for 10 months i used to live in the north east before that so i have no idea about what maternity care they offer here even though im a midwife

Hope you're feeling better soon tex,

I'm in Bromley and we're due the same day! Good luck with the move, does that mean you'll be going to Lewisham hospital instead of Farnborough then?

rodeo1 i think i will have a choice of two hospitals tameside od steppinghill i think i will go for a look around them both before i pick one!!

I know!! My partner keeps saying "we'll be fine, we'll have a lovely time!" and I keep saying "oh good, I hope you do" attempting a non-sarcastic tone!

I think too much Vit A can cause birth defects, although I think it's rare. I've been told just to avoid liver and liver products, and any supplements with Vit A in, but I don't think preg vits contain any x x

Ooh Twinkle that sounds lovely! We try to take the children to the peak at the weekends, and I love it up there!

Tex - glad to hear you're feeling better, you've been missed! x x

Tex - glad to hear you're feeling better, you've been missed! x x

I relly wanted to say that twice! Heehee!

it is lovely but it can be isolating. we have just got rid of the last of the snow(which was very pretty)we are between snake pass and woodhead pass. I just wish i knew more people and had some family down here.

Yes, I bet it seems you're stuck out in the middle of nowhere, epecially in winter, roll on summer!! How old are your other children?

sam is 6 and holly was 4 yesterday so it has been mad for the past couple of days!!!

I've got 5 and a half year old Bella and 3 last Sunday Joe!

Is anyone else suffering from object blindness, the one where you go "I can't find it anywhere!!" only for someone else, usually smug husband/partner, to go "It's there! Right in front of your eyes!" Oh yeah, so it is

when are you going to tell them about the pregnancy?????

Well I did say the other night "would you like another baby brother or sister?" Joe said he wanted 'a stinky baby brother', Bella said 'no, it will keep me awake and poo everywhere'. At which point I dropped the subject, not to bring it up again for a while!!

Know what u mean!! i asked my 4yr old daughter if u would like a little brother or a sisiter she said no she would like a sheep!!!!! end of conversation

well got to go and take DD to nursery. Talk to you all soon take care twinkle1

Welcome back Tex! Glad you're feeling better.
I had a feeling that scan would be he one where i scowl at the sonographer thinking " Push down any harder on my bladder dammit and i'll wet myself". He he. I hate those!!!!!!
When's your one again?
Still no sickness here just feeling podgy again! (just round middle thoguh, feel like a weeble)

Just got back from mothercare with my support bra in tow. All the maternity clothes look huge so i didnt indulge. My eyes are so heavy i feel like im being drained of all energy and life.

I know how you feel cp3, my eyes keep closing too. i'm a childminder and luckily in about 30 minutes two of the 3 kids i have here at the moment will go down for their nap. Then i can put a video on for the older one and we can have a relaxing afternoon.
Can't believe i feel so exhausted and its only wednesday.

I work 32 hrs a week from home plus two toddlers and a teenager. I so wish i could nap in the afternoon. I tried to watch bridget Jones at the weekend with the little ones and i still had to get up from the sofa about 50 times. I am sleeping well at night though and my dp gets up in the morning to give the kids brekkie so i am very lucky in that sense.

Looking after someonelses children as well as my own and beingpregnant would kill me off, im sure

BEKsmum, yes I'll be registered at Farnborough. I had the choice between there and Sidcup but I think Farnborough is the nicer of the two. I hope I can have the baby there but it depends on when we move. If it's something crazy like October I hope I can stay with Farnborough.

I'm so glad the hear I'm not the only one with a bump already! I've been really suprised but they do say you're usually bigger faster when it's a second or later pregnancy.
