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

Doing remarkably well thanks guys. Reading your threads I am SO relieved not to be feeling sick any more . I've booked the rest of the week off and will be starting my online Christmas shopping and writing cards. Not looking forward to hormone crashes to follow (I imagine it's like baby blues all over again?) but glad not to have to deal with a parents evening this week.

I can't praise out local matty hospital enough - they really were ace. Long live the NHS!

May you all have a S&V, prawn cocktail & mocha-satiated day tomorrow and I will look forward to a glass of rose

Glad your ok hobnob
Good to hear you so positive

Enjoy a glass of rose on me as I could do with 1!

Glad your ok Hobnob have been thinking of you x

Mickeylou thanks, yes was married to ex still am actually

He left Nov 2 years ago for another women, we were married for 10 years.

Planning to start the divorce process soon but at the moment finding it hard just to get normal day to day stuff with the DC's and work enough to cope with.

Finding the weight just dropping off me haven't got any appetite, will be so glad when ms passes.

ah LGR, least u will be nice a slim with a neat little bump tho.. im piling it on, im sure i willjust look fat till im about 8 months!

Largeglassofred - hope you feel better soon. ms must be awful with double the amount of hormones swimming around!

re residence of the children - try not to worry. courts dont change the status quo for kids unless theres a bloody good reason to - ie where they live now isnt meeting their best interests. also think ex would struggle to find a magistrate/judge willing to separate them from their new siblings. new arrivals all the more reason for things to stay as they are.

re the house - if you dont agree to sell your house and cant afford to buy him out he would need to get an order for sale from the court. unless you are in a mansion which is far more than you reasonably need he would struggle to get a judge to see you and 5 kids without a home. maybe talk to your solicitor about a mesher order where its agreed you stay in house until youngest is 16 or leaves full time education.

i feel ok today. got the week off work now. yippeee!! going to see nephew in nativity this afternoon. hope i dont cry!

Glad you're ok hobnob, take it easy and don't rush back to work, they'll cope

Just been for BP check and its absolutely normal. It's that midwife i'm sure of it

Christiana so true about 1st pg innocence. I was like that w/DS. I was all about labouring at home and little intervention. In the end, it was over 4 days in hospital with so much medical intervention. When I did birth plan for DD it had one main point - OPEN TO ALL OPTIONS OF PAIN RELIEF.Lol. In the end, my 2nd birth had no pain relief (I arrived and was 8cm) and had less medical intervention. I am hoping this 3rd one goes the same. Fingers x'd.

LGOR your ex sounds horrible. Try and not stress about it, but I guess easier said then done. Thinking of you!

Thanks so much mickeyLou thats so reassuring, there is no equity in the house so he only wants to sell to get his name off the morgage.

Taked it throught with DP last night and we are going to look and see if we can take on the morgage between us to get exdh off the deeds.

Had a craving for fish last night s ended up eating a piece of cod before bed
very strange

Hello guys

After hearing hobnobs awful news on Monday night I had nightmares all night a bit like LGOR I had dreams about the scan (due today) I dreamt of twins then no baby and then a really heavy period. Since the bleeding I couldn't stop worrying so I rang the Early Pregnany Unit yesterday at 8.30am and told them what had been happening and the told me to get there for 9am and they would scan me then instead of today.

Had the scan whilst crying my eye's out convinved the baby would no longer be okay but it was! The heart was beating and eveything is fine. My dates are right!! I sobbed my heart out in relief.

I said to the doc that I know bleeding can be normal in pregnancy and she loked shocked and very sternly but nicely said no, bleeding is not at all normal and that I can go and have as many scans as I need up till 14 weeks. She said I shouldn't of really tried to wait till scan due today.

Anyhow - going for the rest of my booking appointment today at 2.30 where they do the bloods and previuos history

I already know I need referring to doc as had complications last time.

I have only just posted as was struck down with awful sickness and diorhea bug yesterday - I couldn't keep water down - feeling better today.

Just so relieved that baba was still in there! I'm 10 weeks tomorrow.

Hobnob been thinking of you, how did the D and C go? Hope your doing okay?

Just had a call from DFS and my new sofa and chair are coming tomorrow!!!! Yey - comfort - although they couldn't give me time, not even morning or afternoon.

Been and watched DD in her nativity play at nursey today and she's been singing all the songs for 2 weeks now and today she sat in a teachers lap and cried the whole way though and didn't sing a single word and kept wailing 'I want my Mummy' then after they finished the ushered them all into a room next door - I went to see if she was okay and they had put black paper over the windown on the door so the kids couldn'e see any of the parents - bit extreme me thinks.

Not looking forward to these booking bloods as no one can ever get blood out of me but they never believe me and go for it anyway I end up battered and bruised - I shouldn't moan I'm feeling very blessed to still be pregnant.

I have fallen in love with ice lollies and Mr Freezy ice pops - hmmmm

Hope you are all okay - it's nearly Christmas!!!

God I'm in a chatty mood today, bye for now

Ooh also like hobnob said in earlier post -I cannot praise the NHS enough at the moment the midwives and staff on the Early Pegnancy Unit have been totally amazing and I'm very grateful. Going to take them a Christmas Card and tin of biccies today as they are right next to the Ante Natal Clinic where I am going for my booking appointment.

SOOOO relieved for you Gillyan ! I've been thinking about you all morning. You sound like you're walking on air today! Did they work out why you were bleeding? I was told before I had my scan that it could be the cervix (it's so engorged with blood that it can sometimes 'graze' and bleed) or a haematoma (which should show on the scan?). The reassurance of an understanding doc or MW is so precious at this stage - hooray for scans on demand!

The erpoc went fine. There was a bit more discomfort beforehand than I was expecting after they gave me the dilating pills, but I managed to finish a Shopaholic book just in time for theatre which was a real treat - I never get peace to read! Having a jammies, chocolate and mince pie day today.

Hobnob you are a star. Enjoy the mince pies and wine and take it easy. Christiana you made me laugh out loud at the thought of your daughter going to sleep with a mini pitta on her ear!! They are so random, bless them! And Gillyan, what good news. You must be very relieved.

I am sick and sick and sick still so no change there then. Have progressed onto the mouth filling with saliva and vague retching stage so probably not long till actual vomming starts. In a way I'm looking fwd to it as there's an element of relief once you've puked but it is also terribly inconvenient having to plan for ad hoc vomming when you are out and about and try to do it discreetly. hmmmm - bed all day till 12 weeks is a good plan I think but sadly not very practical with DD and job to look after!

Have a good day everyone.

Ooh yes opinions please - is it bad to be drinking a can of (fat) Coke every single day? It's the only thing that helps me with the nausea but it is terribly high in caffeine and sugar isn't it? I feel sure I will have a child with ADHD and hyperactivity if I feed it all this caffeine whilst it is forming.....any ideas welcome on that one please!

largeglassofred - if no equity i would say theres even less chance of him getting the house sold against your wishes. what is there to gain other than he gets his name off the mortgage. if you and DP can remortgage then great but if not ex will have to be satisfied with you saying you will indemnify him against liability for the mortgage and will keep using your best efforts to get his name off it. you have nothing to worry about except how you are going to cope with 5 kids!! i'm worrying about the prospect of 2!

gillyan - great news!!!

Just a quick hello as I haven?t been around for a while.

Had a bad bleed about 2 weeks ago and went to hospital, then unfortunately while I was there I had a fit!
Bit of a drama, but long story short they scanned me (at the time I was 8+3) and the baby was really clear and heartbeat really strong They could see where the bleed was, but couldn't explain why. I've just been trying to take it easy ever since.

Hobnob I?m so so sorry for your news you sound like an amazing person and I am in awe of how well you seem to be dealing with it. My thoughts are with you.

LGOR I had a cereal bowl of buttered peas before bed last night

I'm so sorry hobnob - lots of love and very best wishes to you

i finally made it back to belfast! Arrived on Sunday and dh and i have been vying for my mother's attention ever since and fighting over who can best lay claim to the title of "poor invalid". I have a rotten cough and cold and just wiped out from the travelling

have missed so many pages! will try to catch up tonight

gillyan I am so pleased for you glad it all went ok

As regards to coke I have drunk litres of the full fat stuff all the way though my pregnancies and my dc's don't seem any the worse for it! I dont normally drink loads of it but when I am pregnant I can't get enough.

Hello all... hobnob you are so brave, sending huge hugs your way - keep crying everytime I come on this site now.

Marmite came off the menu today - have been eating it on bread - got lovely b vits in it to help ms - but today I reached the actual vomiting stage and up it came (not good at all) what is it with ms that make you produce so much saliva? just after i had been sick it was like there was a tap running in my mouth!! mind you it didn't stop me then eating my new fave - sausage rolls with salad cream. Convinced now I have another DD in there as it is the same cravings as with DD1!!

Has anyone else named their spaceprawn yet? Ours it currently Bean - not too inventive but gives me someone to talk to in the middle of the night

DD was in the tiny tots nativity today with the local church (we don't really attend but were invited by friend!) it was so cute as they were all under 4, mary had enough and went and sat with her mum and my friends little boy refused to be a shepherd and was a dump truck instead!!! About 8-9 angels running round being little minxes was so funny!

Hugs to all xxx

Mickeylou thanks so much for the advise its brought my blood pressure down

Copeing with 5 kids is a walk is a in the park campaired to dealing with ex

Woolyjo mmmn buttered pea's sounding quite nice

Baffy - sounds like a nightmare glad your managing to get some rest.

Hobnob, I hope your ok today and enjoying some more rose.

Gilliyn so glad you can went well, I had dd2 nativity yesterday. Was very cute until she started picking her nose and eating it!! what a time to start doing that

Its sooo nice hearing how you all are and whats happening, and actually how i'm not unusual!!

I've had a migraine most days for over a week now. can't take usual effective medication, sympathy to fellow sufferers. I also was working all over the weekend whilst maintaining the pretence of normal person energy levels, which was interesting and didn't help.

my cravings are really bizarre, salad and fruit!! my ms pattern is also completely different to when pregnant with ds, afternoon at about 4pm it really kicks in. I'm convinced that the peanut must be a dd as its all so different!

We should all say what we think we're having now, and compare to what we actually have, to see if we can prove or disprove all these old wives tales!

I will start by saying I am convinced this one is a girl(s!). I was right with DCS so lets see! I am also working on the basis I was sick with DD and not with DS and this time i have had horrible MS.
Interestingly I carried them both up front though.

ooh my guess is,
2 boys, craving the same stuff as ds1, and really off food.
Where as ms with the girls I ate all the time and craved the same sorts of thngs.
