Anyone due July 2009 ? Bring on the BFPs for a summer bubba !!!

[funkybumps]

Hi, I'm also on the June thread but officially my due date would be 4th July 2009 so thought I'd better set up a thread for all these summer babies.

Got 3 BFP's yesterday although technically I am only 3+2 weeks. Would love to symptom spot with fellow early testers. Surely there must be more of us out there !! I can't be the first

Really sorry kookykid good luck for ttc sending you lots of love xxx

Feeling not to bad made pancakes for lunch feeling better for that so far no sickness today just the feeling of sick .

marvornia you must have the patients of a saint to put up with your MIL your posts make me smile

completely agree mavornia - you must have so much patience to take all that. unless you have a Mil sized vodoo doll we dont know about?

is she worse because you have a boy or do you think she would she be as interfering with a girl?

I agree mavornia, you must be an extremely patient person to put up with comments like those - I take my hat off to you cos I couldn't do it

I haven't joined the ms brigade yet but still early. I wasn't actually physically sick with ds but felt queasy a lot of the time. It may sound silly (and apologies to those suffering) but in a way I wish I did then I might actually feel pregnant iykwim. Apart from a swollen tummy I don't feel pregnant and that worries me slightly.

Remind me of this post in a few weeks time when I'm posting saying I feel terrible!!!

Hope everyone else doing ok!!

So sorry kookykid. Big hugs to you hun.

I have scan date, next Wednesday, which is much earlier than I thought - think will be 10 weeks then. Am hoping they will do nuchal fold scan too, although appointment is for dating scan only, have been told we should get nuchal fold scan on NHS.

Andie01, I know what you mean - I am the same, have had few symptoms although I am getting cravings. Just had thai green curry for lunch...yum yum.

I would love to claim that i have saintly patience but in truth i have an aversion to confrontation and my backbone seems to ne missing in action at times I am getting better at standing up to her though and not letting all her comments niggle at me any more

fil is equally insane but not as overbearing. We were watching Walking with Dinosaurs the other week and he turned to me and said, "The only question is, how did they film it?".

"Well," i said, a bit bewildered, "it's all done with computer graphics and animatronics, isn't it."

"Yes, but how did they film the dinosaurs?" he insisted.

"Wel, they didn't," I said, as gently as possible, "because there wouldn't have been any humans capable of filming or indeed cameras when the dinosaurs were around. It's all clever graphics and models."

"No it isn't" - he said, putting an end to the cnversation.

I had to hide in the toilet to snigger

The other recent corker:
FIL: I believe Dracula has a house in London
Me: Who?
FIL: Dracula
Me: As in the vampire? What do you mean he has a house in London. He's not real
FIL: Yes he is
ME: Maybe you're thinking of Sherlock Holmes. In the books he had a house in Baker Street
FIL: No, I'm thinking of Drcaula
Me: Ok then [cue more sniggering in the toilet]

and he's actually an extremely successful businessman...

Ha ha Mavornia! How funny.
I posted message below from Saz by mistake, I am in fact binkerbeany now! Pregnancy brain kicking in again.

Afternoon,

Mavornia - you deserve a medal for coping with the IL's. I don't see mine if i can help it very often. Dh normally takes ds to see them while i'm at work. I'd be shocked if they ever managed to jump in their car and drive the 20 mins to our house. They just annoy me. The thing they did to tip me over the edge and not go to see them as often is they don't buy ds anything for his birthday, not even his 1st, he just gets a card

I'm 6 weeks today and feeling sick almost all day but not been sick, touch wood. I just want it to be January and to have a scan.

It's taken me that long to type that i've forgot what else i wanted to say

Kookykid so so sorry.

Well I had my dr's appt today and they have insisted to use my LMP dates as opposed to my conception date until my scan. That puts me almost 10 days further than I am. Does it matter you think?

For all of us actually being sick with ms, dr said I need to eat a little more but often (not eating much makes ms worse she said). Natty your advice is spot on.

Mavornia your IL stories are hilarious. Keep them coming.

kookykid so sorry. I have been in the same position as you three times since spring and I can't quite believe I'm still here. In fact, I practically don't.... Do keep us posted of your future success when it comes [hopeful emoticon]

Saturday's vomitfest was definitely a 24hr bug going round and I'm feeling much better today (although the glands behind my ears are going bananas at the moment and my neck is beginning to feel like it's turning into Mike Tyson's). I'm actually hungry tonight and desperate for my tea which DH is cooking for me as I type (it's my birthday). I don't feel like my bulge is growing any at all, I don't need the loo in the middle of the night or even too often during the day (am I too busy to notice?) and my boobs have been benign for a few days now.

And I was complaining of feeling sick a few days ago... I get why men call us fickle!

Belgrano, if you're anything like me then work is actually quite a good distraction from ms nausea. And I still swear by dried apricots (lots of iron & folic acid!)

happy birthday, hobknob!

(mickeylou, she is worse with girls if anything - dh's brother has 2 daughters and she acts more like the mother than the grandmother. If we have a girl she is pushing for the names Helga or Martha...)

Kookykid so sorry to hear your news, you are in good company as many of us have been in a similar position. I found MN a real help last time round, hope you do too.

Due to two mcs this year I had an early scan today and was relieved to see a 20mm blob with a heart beat. DH was welling up in the scan room, I feel like I have been holding my breath for the last 8 weeks and at last relaxed.

I know we are not out of the woods but that was a significant milestone for me. Dating scan on 22nd Dec, nuchal on the 23rd (we have to pay here but I'm getting on so thought it wise)so by xmas we will be well aquainted and in a position to tell the family I hope.

Isn't it incredible that something so tiny has a heart already?

woohoo woolyjo!

mispaella look on the bright side - if the baby arrives at their supposed 38+5 weeks you will be happy!

Have just changed something in my profile so maybe it will work now

My MS has just kicked in big style today - Andie01 you do not want to feel like this - but I know what you mean about at least you feel pregnant!

mavoria My MIL is the same and there is no culture difference to defend her! She also does really annoying things like talk to the characters in a kids video ("oh you poor little thing are you lost" lol) whilst its playing even the kids tell her to shush now!

Thanks for your lovely messages of support.

MN as always has been a great source of comfort.

Saw docs this morning and because it's so early (not even 6 weeks) there won't be a scan, which is actually what I wanted as don't think I coud bear it. Will need to do a pg test in a week to confirm all over and then will go from there. Good thing is that at least I'm now on their radar so can hopefully do tests etc as needed if we don't have any luck in the next few months.

May you all have happy healthy pregnancies and morning sickness soon be over!

KK x

Message withdrawn

kookykid really sorry to hear your news - had an early(ish) mc just after xmas 2007 so can sympathise with the way you must be feeling - you sound as if you are taking a very positive approach to seeing the docs etc.

particularly nauseous today, doesn't help that i have just come off my anti-dep meds under docs supervision and am getting a horrid spinning head feeling from the withdrawl side effects! should only last 2 weeks though so i can go back to feeling a little less queasy!

had some good news today in that my mw rang and has arranged my booking appt for tomorrow! eek! better clean the house now!!! was quite suprised as was told i wouldn't have one till i was 9-10 weeks (am 7 weeks on thurs) looking forward to discussing hb with her!

Just a quick one as DH wants laptop
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOBNOB!!!

Hope everyone is ok this evening.

What is an EWCM?

Happy Birthday Hobnob
