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

Hi all - can I crash here too? Phew - 36 pages! I read about 8 then skipped to the end .

Due date 24th July so am about 7 weeks.
I should have know I was preg as I read Ratty Tatty (brilliant book) to my DD (16M) and cried my eyes out. Hmm - whatever happened to the heartless woman I used to be?

Anyone else feel like a zombie in the evening? I fall asleep at 8:30 for about 2 hours - like I've been drugged. Plus ms setting in every time I get hungry. Sigh - here come the salt and vinegar crisps again. (I lived off them last time).

Oh and can anyone help me with a convincing excuse for the Work's Christmas do next Saturday? I'll only be 8 weeks so too soon to tell but can't drink. And the booze is free and it's only 3 miles from my house. No excuses! (Don't look ill enough for antibiotics - well maybe if the ms continues I will). Everyone else in same dilema?

Hi Bonzo Congratulations! I'm 7 weeks today, edd 27 July, so sit down next to me! Wish I could help you RE: excuse - we saw friends last weekend and they picked up on me not drinking right away and we caved! But, friends are different from work... How about I'm pacing myself for the holiday season!??!

Funny you should mention the getting sick when you're hungry - AND the s&v crisps. I've just had both! Truth be told I'm always a suck for the crisps, but these tasted especially delicious!

Hi everyone

Just met my midwife - she seemed lovely. She said that she will try and book me a scan before Christmas. I will be 10 weeks on Friday! EDD 10 July!

Hi guys - thanks for all the good wishes sent my way. Unfortunately the scan wasn't good news. I'm supposed to be 9weeks today but wee bub only measured 7+4 and there was no heartbeat. Although I'd pretty much resigned myself to this happening and hadn't been confident from the start about this pg, I was shocked at myself with how upset I got. I was talked through all of the options as to what to do next and left alone for 15 mins to decide. I thought that that was a bit rushed, but that's the only complaint I'd have about this morning. The MW on the ward was brilliant. I phoned my mum (who's a nurse, and has also had a mc) and then DH who came rushing over from work. We decided on a D&C tomorrow in order to get things over painlessly - that is, apart from the day of starvation preceding it Of course, I got home to find my 12 week scan date had come through

Anyhoo, a big thanks to you guys for listening to my whinges over the past month, and fingers crossed to you all (especially those precious twins!). Sorry to put a downer on the thread, but I feel I'm amongst friends here. On the upside, I'm SOOO looking forward to not feeling sick any more!

Misspaella my dd only walked at 18 months too - I felt is was lovely to have her do it when she was ready and not before we were!

Belgrano as I think I've said before I couldn't believe with dd just how unbelievably miserable it was possible to feel without doctors giving a **. I phoned up once after only managing to eat one plum in 4 days and they didn't even want to see me. I was crawling because I couldn't walk! It's self-help all the way...

Christiana I'm with you on the drinking stragegy. Works for me every time, but I'm not a big drinker anyway so perhaps people don't notice for that reason.

Gillyan all fingers and toes crossed for you and your scan. Will pop back and see how you get on.

GOOD LUCK and MERRY XMAS!!!

Oh Hobnob, so sorry. Hope it goes ok tomorrow

Welcome and congrats Bonzodoodah and Accebar

No idea of a no drinking excuse. I need one for christmas day with the family. My parents, brothers and grandparents know but aunties, uncles and cousins don't know yet. I usually drink like a fish so it will be noticeable me not drinking. Me been the driver would be a good excuse but dh doesn't drink and everyone knows that so that really won't work .

I'm 8 weeks today and got my 12 wk scan date for 5th Jan

hobnob Oh I am so so sorry for you, really thought you'd be okay. I hope you go on okay tomorrow, let us know won't you. Good luck with the next attempt though, enjoy Christmas as best you can, oh god I'm crying now. Thinking of you xxx

I am getting quite nervous now as thinking the same might happen to me on Wednesday. I have had a funny feeling with this PG too - nothing seems like last time. I haven't felt sick for a few days and even cooked tonight which is making me think thet're not going to find anything on Wednesday. We'll see I suppose = god the not knowing is just killing me

Hope everyone is okay

rattling bonzo and acceber A Big welcome to the thread!

hobnob I feel dreadfull for you x hope things go ok and keep in touch around about here

Gillyan, if you're crying I'd take that as a good hormonal sign - I've had a distinct lack of hormonal behaviour this pg

Will be here all day Wednesday I suspect, feeling odd and bored (and sloshed, if Christiana has anything to do with it! - I've already bought a box of Lindor!) so do let me know how it went.

Christiana, how long to do reckon I need off work? Being a teacher means this is a great PITA for the school and they were asking how long I reckoned I'd be....

Hobnob am so so sorry tears streaming down my face, can't imagine what you ve been through today. Please look after yourself and take time of to grieve your little bub

put my worries into pespective

Told my ex today

and in a nut shell he wants the house sold [in joint names but I pay the morgage]
and wants to go for joint custody with the option of full custody if the DC's choose that

He left me just over 2 years ago for someone else but still would prefer to have total control over my life.

Sorry for the mone just needed to get it out.

Keep having nightmares about the 12 week scan,
first one is that one twin has died
second one both have died
and the last one they find out its triplets'

Think all these hormones are sending me slightly mad

Welcome to all the newbies can't believe we have another set of twins wonder who will be next as I believe it comes in three's !!!

queenfee hope your move goes well

LGOR by the sounds of it your ex didn't take your news well , probably as your life is moving on try not to let it stress you out , I had a recurring dream[nightmare]when I was last pregnant where all three of my children were in a canal struggling to stay above water it always ended with me running up and down screaming Its those blasted pregnancy hormones .

sorry to hear your news hobnob, feeling very sad for u indeed xx

Hello ladies

hobnob and saz so sorry to hear your sad news, you are in all our hearts

Sorry i have been a bit lot lax about posting recently but the pc makes me so sick.

Definitely overdid it last week, had my sister to visit and she is a little demanding! it was like having 2 two-year-olds in the house! Took to bed today as lovely DH took the day off to look after DD who is 2 tomorrow - eeek! Where has the time gone?? Spent the whole day vegged out and still feel rough - like flu without the cold.

Ms still there all day and night but can just about control it by eating little and often.

Can't remember who said about the s&v crisps but i am totally with you there (and prawn cocktail???)

Wow to the 2 sets of twins on the way!!! So exciting!! We are waiting with baited breath for our 12 week scan as we have twins and trips in the family and I was half a set of twins (brother m/c'd).

Yesterday I was at a children's party and on hearing I was pregnant (not too subtle friend!!) a lady asked if i was 4/5 months along!!!! The look on her face when I said actually a little over 8 weeks!

Bought a few lovely maternity tops in town the other day...they look good even if you aren't pg so felt it wasn't tempting too much fate.

Sorry I have waffled on for so long, huge hugs to all out there.....xxxx

Hobnob - so sorry about your news. Hope you can take some time to get over it - work will cope.

hobknob I'm so very sorry I know how devastating a mc is. When I had mine, I found out - no heartbeat found on an emergency scan after some bleeding - the Sunday before Easter. I actually went to work Mon - Wednesday. Had already taken the Thursday off for my 12 week scan and then obviously had the Friday and following Monday off for Easter. I scheduled the D&C for the Thursday since I had already taken the day off, but miscarried most of the contents naturally on the Tuesday night. I'm not really sure how I managed, but I guess work did take my mind off of things. I guess I was just lucky that the heavy bleeding didn't start while I was at work. Everyone's different in how much time they'd need off of work. For me, it was better to be at work than to be at home, constantly thinking about it. But take as much time as you need and don't let work pressure you into a timeline. Take care of yourself {{{hugs}}}

...grabs seat next to LastBox and plonks herself down with a new bag of S&V crisps .... mmmm ... must keep sticky fingers off keyboard!
Thanks for the drinking advice Christiana - that sounds like a goodun - I can have a soft drink to say I'm pacing myself and get hubby to swap glasses when his is nearly empty. Like you say I'm sure no-one will notice if I accept the drink and then "forget" to drink it. And I can get long drinks later and no-one will know they're not mixed. Phew. Bit of a relief.

Hobnob - so sorry to hear your news - my thoughts are with you today (((big hug)))

afternoon all.
finding my temper very short atm, poor kids and hubby suffering.
also cant bare to clean kitchen, it makes me feel sick all the dead food etc.

looking forward to moving, feeling very restless for the next week and half.

looking forward to christmas!

Hobnob I am sorry too, my thoughts are with you and please take it easy. We're here if you need to let off steam any time. [hug]

Just made a great discovery.

Coffee is making me feel yuck (sob) ... but I neeeeeeeeeed my caffeine fix. Was feeling devastated - especially as on a training course for next few days and need to stay awake. Mocha is a go! Caffeine and chocolate - Hurrah!

Oh Hobnob i'm so sorry for your loss. . i am sure work will understand and you should take as long as you need to get back on your feet.

I spoke too soon about feeling ok and was really sick yesterday afternoon. also chomped abut ten ginger biscuits at work today to keep ms at bay.

I'm also having the weird dreams - there is an awful one with DS hanging over railings and falling into a river before i can get to him. really freaked me out and i couldnt sleep after that.

watched i'm a celebrity aftershow thing on skyplus last night. started bawling when Dani Behr saw her children for the first time. DH looked at me like i was insane.

Largeglassofred were you married to your ex? sorry to be nosey but its the family lawyer in me.
