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?

Morning all

hugs to you cupcake have fingers crossed for you on Fri.

I am not actually too tired (although usually in bed by 10pm - but that's not actually unusual for me!) But I have noticed am very bloated... which is a pain. Was hoping not to feel fat for a while

cupcake sorry to hear your scan didn't put your mind at rest. Does your 4.5 go from ovulation? If so, then medically you are 6.5 as they take it from the 1st day of your last period.
Also, at this stage the changes can be quite dramatic from one day to the next so don't worry (or try not to). You can have a little bean with membranes one day and a beating heart the next. The heartbeat develops anytime from 6.5 weeks to 7.5 weeks ish, and can be after so it's very difficult to just go on the results of one scan when it's done so early.

Hang in there

AS for me today, spotting still seems to have almost gone and I'm managing to stay positive - there's nothign I can do now until Monday morning. MS comes for me around mid afternoon and stays for the rest of the day. delightful.

newherehelp if they did do a twins calculator, would you dare to try it?!!

Morning all!

Lemontop have been to a couple of weddings with quite advanced pregnant brides and always thought how nice the dresses look. There are lots of designs that complement the bump. my friend was a bridesmaid at about 32 weeks and had a top with a pointy design over the bump and separate skirt and it looked really good. Go for it I say!

Cupcake so sorry the scan wasn't conclusive but can only echo what others here have said. I am finding the whole "I am still pregnant today" mantra helpful. Take good care of yourself and fingers crossed for next week.

I have started a names thread for our November beans, purely silliness but come and join here

Hi everyone,

I found out last week that I?m pregnant with #2 after a year of ttc so we are overjoyed. My due date is around 4th November, it seems such a long way away!!

I want to tell the whole world but I know I should wait till the 12 week mark. Can you believe that a few people have guessed, apparently I look pregnant, even my GP said that I look different!

Congratulations everybody xx

Hi everyone and congratulations to the newbies.

I'm off my scan in a minute and am v. nervous. I hope all is well.

Cies I am a fountain of knowledge on Spanish pregnancy and illness terms; I have long and varied experiences of being pregnant/ill in Spanish speaking countries. Any help you need, just ask.

Fingers crossed for you Catita!

Has anyone experienced weird cravings yet?? I can't stop eating,thinking and dreaming about spicy food!! My dh has very kindly asked if we can have some plain food for dinner 2moro!! I'm even eating it for breakfast

Hi ladies! My, there's loads of us now - tis great!! . Haven't been on since Sunday and so I've had loads to read through and now I've forgotten most of the names posting what, I'll just blame pregnancy for that I think .

Those who are spotting (Scarlotti and I'm so sorry, I can't remember the others don't mean to be rude) I hope all is ok. We really go on a rollercoaster with this don't we? At least the other pregnancy symptoms are still there and I hope all is confirmed to the positive as soon as poss for you.

There's loads of us in different situations which is great, should help each other more then when we get a wobble - I'm sure we'll all have a few.

As for MS mine is now pretty horrendous and the main reason for not being on. The screen was making me feel worse. And the MC fear I think will be a natural fear in all of us, like another wise poster said, there is a MC story in most women. I remember being frightend of MC, then problems with growth, then my baby not being healthy or having all the bits he should have. Of course the worry (thankfully) was for nothing but I do think its natural.

ANyway, I've been going on a bit. I went back to the EPU today and was internally scanned again (after ectopic scare last week). They confirmed all is well, gave me a scan pic (couldn't believe it!) and saw the heartbeat. The pain was probably caused by a cist that had burst which is apparently quite common in preg. So feelling a bit more positive until they said that I should speak about screening options as I will be 37 next month and 'a risk'. So bit taken aback by that. Will get to that when I've had my talk on 23rd.

Urisgurk please do get back in touch tomorrow if you are frightened of ectopic, just to rule it out. Pester if you have to but you need to set your mind at rest.

After all that, I told my mum today and a BF. Mum immediately said it will be twins and BF is made up for me but is also raging cos she is already finding it hard to keep her mouth shut!

Epic post, sorry! BTW I'm in Glasgow

Wow I have the most painful boobs in the world, it hurts to walk!

lillee I'm 37 too, will be 38 by EDD, all rather scary - I felt old when I had my other DSs and I was only 22 & 23!!

Found out that the older you are the more likely to have twins you are but also if your BMI is greater than 30 you are increased odds the fact that DP is a twin doesn't count though.

I want symptoms!!!!!!!!!!

Grrrr, just driving me crazy, over analysing everything. I just want to feel pregnant

I know all of you with bad ms/sore boobs etc are probably cursing me for not feeling ill, yet, but I just am so desperate to know all is ok

Told MW today and she is going to make booking appointment for 4 wks time and let me know. That just seems forever away. I am only 4+3 though so very early days lol!

Hope you're all well this evening

EasyEggs don't worry I had no symptoms 2 weeks ago

Actually with both DSs I had no MS or other symptoms apart from tiredness - everyone and everytime is different.

That said, I'm now thinking does that mean I'm having a DD or TWINS!!!!!

Maybe being PG at 37 is just different from being PG at 22!

kyte bless you! I remember my dd being sick in the car once and having to go into sainsburys to buy a new outfit, then clean off all the sick off the car seat etc

lillee congrats on such a successful scan, a heartbeat is a major hurdle to have crossed.

easyeggs be careful what you wish for!! My symptoms started at about 4.5 weeks and the nausea has been horrendous ever since. Am fine normally until about 2 or 3pm and then it lasts up until bedtime

NewHereHelp I've done pg at 20 and then again at 31 - the symptoms were definitely tougher the second time around I think. This one is worse again so far - joyous eh?!!

Thanks NHH I had no ms with my 1st 2 ds either got a bit of a shock when I was preg with dd and felt sick and dizzy all day and night for 15weeks Could barely get out of bed!

Ds 3 I felt slightly sick from about 6-11weeks then was fine, no doubt I'll be moaning at you all soon enough

I'd say you're having twins

EasyEggs I hope that you are one of the lucky one who breezes through your pregancy with little or no symptoms - trust me you don't wanna feel like this, can't even MN properly anymore! LOL Congrats and look after yourself.

NewhereHelp Great someone else in the same boat as me! Feel like a really really old nearly 37yr old at the mo and look bloated very pregnant too. As for the twins, we have to keep tabs, I don't think they can tell before 12wks, if what I'm reading is true. My mum's parents were both one of twins and its supposed to skip a generation. Again, prob heresay but it will be interesting to see how we go! Actually, I was petrified at the thought of one new addition with a toddler in tow - twins makes me panic a bit.

Cupcake I feel I might have been a bit insensitive before and I hope your mind is put at rest with your next scan. I know that last week's internal for me they were able to see the sac but couldn't see heartbeat etc and weren't able to see why I had so much pain. This was cleared up today and I felt much better with more definite information.

Sorry bout my last post, was really long winded and I was just kinda putting everything together quickly. Took me so long to catch up on the thread that the battery on the laptop was running out so basically blurbed everything. Apologies again if I came across the wrong way.

Hi. I bet you are all in bed, but is still pretty early here in Mexico.

Well, went for my scan today, I think I mentinoed I was nervous? Well, it all went horribly at first. It turns outhat my intestines are full of wind and my uterus is pushed right back making it really difficult to get a clear picture. It was startingot look like an etopic when, finally the gynocologist found the sac; but couldn't really tell much about it. She was quite cheerful about the whole thing, especially as she could see how worried I'd got,m and tried to be very reassuring. But f course she had to be sensible and tell me that she could n't tell anything for sure but that it seemed all OK as long as I didn't start to bleed.

Am now even more paranoid about bleeding than I was before.

I've also stopped being sick ((although felt very queasy yesterday). I'm with Easy Egg now. Much as I hated it, i want the sickness back. It was at least a reassurence that all was progressing as it should.

Catinahatita, I had the windy intestines on my first scan , radiographer commented on it like I was about to fart in her office or something!
Good news about seeing the sac though

Well, we phoned parents last night and there was an almighty long pause on the phone from my mum when I told her the news......

Eventually she congratulated us, but if she reacted like that, I dread to think how our RL friends will (hoots of derision, I suspect).

It's our own fault for telling everyone in the new year how we were happy with our family the size it is, thank you very much. Fast forward 3 months and now we are facing 3 under 4 years old! Please someone reassure me I'll keep my sanity?!!

Good morning everyone!

There is no pleasing a pregnant woman is there? I'm stressing about not feeling sick, or about hyper-sense of smell that I had last time - when all of the time I absolutely hated it!! So Easyeggs I know where you are coming from!

I do have backache - but not sure if thats because my dd is getting heavy an I felt my back click yesterday. But hey, whats another pregnancy worry with all the rest!

I read earlier in the thread to just think 'I am pregnant today' - sorry can't remember who but I think thats good advice.

We haven't told anyone but my BF yet. I don't want to tempt fate, and it's quite nice having a secret from everyone. Thats why MN is so good - we can stress together! I'm not looking forward to telling my SIL, she has been having treatment with clomid which so far hasn't worked but hopefully will soon so we can be pregnant together. I think she will be happy for us, but I am so sad for them.

Anyway, we are off to a farm this morning for a 2y old birthday party so must go and get ready.

Have a good day everyone.

Morning all!

Ladygoogoo I had a smiliar reaction from my mum, a longer than natural pause and then a slightly fake congratulations. When we told her we were expecting ds she cried! Think she thought we should stop with what we have after the m/c's and also because most of the household falls to me. I'm sure it's just her not wanting to be overloaded but still not quite the reaction you want

I'm looking forward to the second trimester when the nasty symptoms will ease and the almost pmt rattiness will also go.

Morning all,

Hope your all feeling ok this morning.

Parents who would have them!!! I know how ur all feeling about breaking the news, we are telling the mother in law tomorrow and I am VERY nervous, when we told her I was pregnant with my ds she took the news VERY badly. She wasn't impressed as we weren't married at the time (very old fashioned) and actually wouldn't speak to me as she has go come to terms with the idea!! Well we are now married so hopefully this time she will be happy.

Are you all having your scans done privately because my GP says I have to wait till 12 weeks, it's going to be a very long 5 weeks!

Morning all!

Finally made my way over from the Nov bus thread. I've had very bad ms for over a week now . It's been all day every day and I'm exhausted with it. I actually managed to get a Nandos down me last night, which was lovely, it felt I was back to normal. I think I'll have to ask dh to take me out for dinner more often, as the thought of cooking makes me feel vile!

I have found the pg symptoms much harder going this time around. Maybe it's an age thing, and also chasing after a 3 yr old.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend

I'm in SE London.

Hi all,

wow, people telling parents already... hadn't occurred to me, maybe because I'm not in the UK and they are. Whoever was stressing over mil thinking they know more than you about the baby/ your due date, I don't think there's any harm in being vague about it - early November is plenty of info.

Symptoms - this time last pg I literally had no symptoms at all, I didn't even know I was pg yet. (People with not enough syptoms, take heart It was actually the easiest pregnancy ever, I really enjoyed it). This time I have v tender boobs, and slight nausea all the time that gets worse if I leave it too long before eating. I constantly have food in my mouth, I'm going to end up the size of a house. And I think I'm getting hypersensitive to smells.

Last time I had a girl, so I'm wondering if this time it's a boy? It just seems so different.

Hi Becks130, My scan is booked in for last week of April, very long wait. I'll be just under 13 weeks then. I phoned the hospital to see if I could get it a week earlier and they said I was still within the time frame for the nuchal scan. I'm hoping with Easter coming up and some time off work the time will go by quickly.

I'm from SW London (Surrey) that may be the reason, maybe you have to wait longer in London.
