Anybody else due in NOVEMBER 2009 :-)

[piper84]

hi ladies

Got a postive test last thursday, (and one everyday since ) after 4 long years of trying .
anybody else due in november?

Well - little did I think I would be back on an ante-natal thread! Last time I was regularly mumsnetting was nearly 5 years ago when I was pg with dd2 who will be 4 in a couple of weeks.

I got a bfp a week ago and was utterly shocked as I'll be 43 when this one arrives and thought I was done with babies!

Took me a couple of days to get used to the idea but am now really happy (and scared!) about it although also nervous as the risk of miscarriage is 50% at my age. Have sore boobs, intermittent vague nausea and am waking really early in the mornings (between 5-6am) and not being able to get back to sleep so knackered by about 9pm .

Oops - should have said, I think my due date is 6th Nov.

Thanks weston, I shall have a look to see what is in my area. I know what you mean about the twins thing, my stomach is already getting bigger and my dh joked the other day that it might be twins, yikes! He also said 'you'll never cope with twins', erm thanks!

Congrats BonyM, what a lovely surprise for you!

Lemontop i know what you mean about not really believing it, I went to tescos after work today and bought a 2 pack of hpts Of course they were BFPS, Dont think it will feel real to me until I have my first scan

Ursigurke thanks for the heartburn tip think i will try that, have been drinking loads of milk but it doesnt seem to be helping suppose its well worth it though how are your symptoms?

Big waves to everyone else

Oh Weston meant to say in my last post, I'm also worried about twins

There is twins in my family on both sides plus I was on clomid

Hi guys,

Congratulations everyone!! Any room for me? Got my BFP a couple of days ago and got my HCG taken in EPU straight away (previous ectopic last year) - it was 85 so definitely something going on! Can't quite separate the feelings of excitement from the complete dread that could be ectopic again. Am having bloods done again on Monday and then they said they will book a scan for when they think they should reliably see something. Can I hang out here and help the time pass?!

My only symptom at the moment is my really, really sore boobs. Had to sleep in a sports bra last night (can recommend it - def helped!)

I think I will be due on the 12th but expect that will change post scan (if all is well - fingers crossed)

Welcome Pootletheflump

sorry to hear about your ectopic . Really hope everything goes well for you this time Might try that tip about sports bra, mine are killing me too

ended up spending day in a&e after 2 year old had serious collision with playground, bar scar over eye think will be ok, not sure can cope with another one! (and def not another two!!)

Thanks Piper! Am still dividing my time between believing all successful pregnancies had a 5 week stage and that I should enjoy it all, and wondering if I'm tempting fate by even thinking about it. I guess everyone feels like this?

Sorry to hear about your day Weston - hope all is better soon x

Have added myself to the list:

Weston sorry to hear about LO fall out with playground A&E is always a horrible place to have to spend day, Fingers crossed there's just the one then

Pootle I'm exactly the same so afraid to get excited . One of my best friends in RL found out she was pregnant at 9 weeks, i'm so of her. Have you many symptoms yet?

Pootle -you have encapsulated how I am feeling today. I am lucky enough to have 2 children already, but also unlucky enough to have had 2 early m/cs. I know that in 50% of the cases so far I have got through this stage just fine. I'm still really nervous right now though .

anyone else having really weird dreams??

roll on 12 weeks!

How is everyone today? Hope all is going really well xx

Piper - I always used to say I would love to be one of these people who found out much later on - you could miss the really am I/aren't I stage but then I guess you'd be worrying about what you had and hadn't done!

I haven't many symptoms as such, but feel extraordinarily tired, and yesterday actually sat on the floor of a shop cos I felt like I couldn't carry on (DH was boring me silly with DIY shopping so felt justified!) My boobs are also really tender and I am wearing my sports bras 24/7!

Weston I'm not having weird dreams, I just can't sleep despite being sooo tired, my mind is racing. Maybe dreams are part of the same thing - our brains trying to process the amazing information. Hope they're happy not scary weird?!

Grendle I think if you have been unlucky enough to have experienced pregnancy loss (so sorry to hear of your 2 mc's ) then I think it changes how you feel. My DH was trying to reassure me with statistics yesterday, but I feel that it comes down to 50/50 in the end!

I am sticking with the thinking that trying not to get excited now is fruitless as I am excited!! And, if any thinking has an impact on the outcome then positive thinking and visualisation is def better

Sorry, long, waffly post!! Comes of not being able to tell anyone in RL! Have a lovely day xxx

Hello ladies,

I wondered if you had room for another member?
I did my test on Friday after work and have been coming to terms with it since.

I'm an insulin dependent diabetic (it means I shot myself full of insulin 3 times a day) and had trouble conceiving and carrying DS 1 (who is 14 months old). Like Pootletheflump and Grendle I am currently keeping all my appendages crossed that the embryo is healthy and has got a good hold inside the womb.

I'm currently feeling sick as a dog and comforting myself with the bit of information I read last time about morning sickness. Apparently if you have it it's a very good sign and less likely you will have a m/c. I have no idea if this is really a scientific fact, but it comforts me as I stare down at the toliet bowl

PS, I forgot. I have no offical due date yet, but according to the MN site it should be 9 November.

Hi all, and welcome Cat - I think it is true that sickness is a good sign that all is well.

I am another one who ishaving trouble really believing it (and mc risk really is 50% at my age). Am waiting for the nausea that I had with my other two pregnancies to kick in! Not that I want it, but it would make it feel more real. I am going to book an early scan to reassure myself that all is well.

Pootle - I'm suffering with terrible insomnia as well. No trouble getting to sleep but am waking up earlier and earlier (2.30am this morning) and not being able to get back to sleep as my mind is racing with all sorts of stuff. Luckily I have a fantastic dh who gets up with our 4yr old and lets me have a lie-in, and is constantly packing me off for a rest or a bath.

Hope everyone else is feeling ok.

Hi ladies and congratulations to all on BFPs! Can I join too? Can't believe there's a thread so well established already, thought I was jumping the gun looking for it .

Anyway I did a test on Wed (clearblue idiot-proof one that said 'pregnant) and got all excited/scared/hyperventilated etc. Have a ds who is 2.3 who was a brilliant baby and a great wee character now. Went to docs on Thursday and hit the roof when GP examined me - major pain on right side. Said it might be ectopic and sent me to EPU on Friday.

Had a scan and sack and yolk are in the right place but still can't see why the pain, so back there next Friday again. Making me a bit more anxious bout everything of course! So, have due date of 3rd Nov, all being well, few weeks before ds will be 3. Not sure if this is a good thing or not LOL.

Getting the tiredness and nausea in the afternoon and I already really look pregnant!!

Sorry for majorly long post - double

Thought I'd add my date to the list! Seeing the doctor next week so my due date could change but we shall see!

I'm another one seemingly suffering from sleep issues. I woke up in the night and couldn't get back to sleep for ages. Then when I did go back to sleep I kept dreaming that I was awake. Then ds woke up at 6am so am very tired this morning.

Lillee, good news that the sack and yolk are in the right place, hope the next scan goes well and you can feel more at ease. It's such a worrying time, can't wait for these 12 weeks to be up so that I can relax and enjoy this pregnancy (and tell the world!!).

Hi everyone and congrats to all BFPs!

Hope everyone's feeling ok.

Was just thinking about how soon the sickness would start when I experienced my first bit of daytime nausea. I hadn't eaten since breakfast and suddenly felt dizzy and sick. I must remember to bring some snacks to eat in my breaktime. I'm a teacher so don't want to be feeling sick in lessons. Luckily I had some free time today. I've got a pretty hellish journey to work so am just hoping it doesn't start early in the morning. I had a look in a baby book that suggested grapes were good as a snack and help prevent constipation too (sorry tmi!)

Congratulations and welcome to the new ones.
Lillee - I'm happy for you that you know already that sack and yolk are in the right place. At the beginning I often felt pain in my right side which made me quite nervous as I had had an operation about two years ago to get a cyst removed so technically there would also be a higher risk for an ecoptic pregnancy. But it finally stopped so I hope everything is fine. And as you have had a scan already, I'm sure that this pain didn't mean anything.

Lemontop - grapes sound good. I'll try them too.

Hi all,

Between the nerves, insomnia and the vomiting, we're a right bunch. I'm glad to hear that Lilee was able to confirm that her pregnancy was in utero so quickly. That must be such a relief. I'm seeing my Dr. today and should also hopefully get referred for a scan.

BonyM Hope you get your scan soon.

Lemontop My morning sickness has moved to being afternoon/early evening sickness. Have you also tried Rich tea biscuits or something similar to keep your tummy from getting empty. Grapes are probably are more healthy option, but biscuits travel better and can be in your handbag at all times.

Congrats and welcome to all the new Bfps

lemontop I was actually wondering to myself the same thing when was the morning sickness gonna show up, and sure enough, sitting at my desk today got hit with a wave of sicklyness and dizzyness not gonna complain yet though

Hope everyone else is good

yes i find that eating constantly keeps the sickness at bay...will worry about the extra 10 stone next year...

cant' believe we are having babies THIS year...

booked early scsn for 4th april...aggh...

Hello ladies

Room for one more? Am due on 7th November with my third. Getting plenty of sickness, mainly from the early afternoon onwards - eating helps but like weston am a little concerned about what size I'll end up!!

Morning Scarlotti! It's going to get terribly confusing with 2 November threads! I wonder if we should set up a new one so we are all in together?

Still no sickness here but I'm eating for England so I'm sure that helps, feeling really tired still though. Dh's alarm woke me at 5am and I couldn't get back to sleep for ages. Then ds was up at 6.30am, yawn!

We changed ds cot into a bed over the weekend as he has been able to climb out of his cot for a while and I was worried about him falling and hurting himself. Now he has realised that he can get out of bed and this morning he came into our bedroom to get me up. Was ever so sweet but I just hope he doesn't do that in the middle of the night!
