Due in Dec - thread 2

[sweetheart]

Well here it is and I think we all deserve a huge CONGRATULATIONS for making it onto the 2nd thread.

The last thread lasted us a month and a half so here to one thread down and 5 to go!!!

YIPPEE so excited!!!

I've also noticed the Due in Jan thread has 10 posts on it now so we are officially not the newbies anymore YEAH !!!!

Oh Kangel, not you too.
Have you tried sherbet lemons? I had them last time everytime I felt queasy and they seemed to do the trick. Then again, that was just for nausea rather than throwing up.
LOl @ Pamela Anderson

LOL backpacker at pamela eating her heart out..the dr will all work out your date based on last period and cycle length. you can do it on line your self if you look up pregnancy due date calculator. but an official one from a dr will stick in your notes and you can carry it round.
kangel, oh I'm right there with you, its so crap isnt it/ I'm sorry youre suffering too. have three children to look after and they dont know yet, so right now they think i'm ill with flu or something. I ajm forcing myself to eat every two hours, even tho i fancy NOTHING, and ti is helping, also tescos make this organic lemonade, come ins four pack of cans, and its not overly fizzy or flavoury and its helping me lots. I hope ANY of my m/s reading helps you, even if you dont think it wil what have you got to lose by trying it? hang in there,...how many wks are you? with my 2 dds i was sick up til 14wks! I cant begin to imagine that stretching out in front of me now, so trying not to think.
george, excellent, what clothes are you buying? tell me because if i wear these (only ones that fit) olivey jeans any more i will SCREAM! i seem t o have changed shape, rather than just gone up a size. and go for the early scan, but also ring back the scan place and say how distressing you found the attitude after your recent loss, honestly these people get away with it so much, we should all give them grief back.
had nice bank holiday, also spent most of it in the garden, sitting there thinking this was the life! rain now tho, never mind.
have a good afternoon ladies

kangel, warnings are said about PEAnuts, not nuts suchas brazil/pecan/almond etc. and really its only excessive amounts of peanuts too.

backpacker - I've put your due date as the 26th Dec - thats based on your LMP you gave and a typical 28 day cycle.

If your cycle is longer/shorter you may be due a few days either way.

Sorry to hear about all the sickness - very interesting reading though DQ - I had no idea about the hormone being an irritant and stuff.

I'm just feeling hungry all the time!!! I've been waiting for my lunch since about 11am. I think I can get away with eating it now - YUM

I'm treating myself to a tuna sandwich

I'm feeling distinctly out of the loop - no sickness (normal for me, I didn't get any with ds either), or any other symptoms other than sore boobs yet, and my clothes still fit. And with no scans, and no appointments even on the distant horizon, it feels rather like it's not happening at all.

sweetheart,
I'm going to the shop to stock up on taytoes and nice things!! i am starving all the time !!!

Going to get my bloods tommorw to see hoe this pg is going..

Thanks for the advice DQ. I was mad on lemonade about 3 weeks ago as I had loads of trapped wind and it made me burp loads and help but now I can't even think about swollowing that without heaving. I'm just sipping water all the time. Am trying to eat a bag of quavers for lunch. I know what you mean about wanting to eat NOTHING.

Will also try and eat nuts ~ I thought it was all nuts (doh!!!!)

This is my first and I am 8+1 although it feels like this has been going on for years!! I have my first m/w appointment tommorrow which I am quite nervous about, I don't know why, I think coz I'm so scared of labour that I don't want to hear about it or discuss it.

I truely admire you!! I couldn't even begin to deal with looking after a child whilst feeling like this but to look after 3!!!!!!!!!!!

Not Telling Yet ~ you can have my sickness!!

actually kangel, i also read drinking too much liquid could make you worse, as you already have an increased volume of liquid inside you. it definately said not to drink at meal times as this would make you feel more sick..I must try and find the links to some of t he pages i was reading. have had good lunch and felt great for oh, twenty -thirty minutes, not not so good. had some of dds strawberries they were nice. I think it must be another girl in here, as sick and craving fruit/veg/salad is exactly how i was before. with ds i just felt sick not actually sick. oh I wish!

Nibble some dried ginger. Sniff a lemon

WoooHooo - I have a scan booked for next Thursday evening when I will be 6+5. Lovely woman said that, all being well, we should be able to see the heartbeat.
I'm so relieved to have an appointment
Nemo, have you got yours sorted yet?

Kangel - labour, whats that? I've heard something about a stork arriving thats all!

yey! george, how lovely! my early scan is this friday (eek!)I will be 6+6 or thereabouts.
well my sister didnt guess, or not out loud anyhhow. my mil did tho! she came right out and asked dh when he was round hers. he was flustered and said yes but no details til we've had a good scan or two. so she knows i am but nothing as to how far, when due or anything. she wont say a word i know, but my mother would seriously kill me if she thought mil knew before her, but then my mother WOULD tell everyone.........LOL its already getting commplicated then.........
nemo how are you today?
expat, pleeease dont mention ginger, i really cant bear it, and gag at the thought..... but the lemon thing works quite well. thanks

Congrats you guys on getting your early scans!! Don't forget to get photos!! I have mine on the tv to remind me that all this sickness is good really!! Please let us know how you all get on!
Oh how exciting....Just wait till you see that heart beating away!!

Expat ~ not sure I can handle the ginger again, didn't work last time but will give the lemon a try.

George32 ~ a stork....If only it was that easy!

HI guys,how are you all,glad you all had a nice bank hol/long wkend..
Nottelling yet,I know how you feel,apart from sore boobs i dont have any other majour symptons...No sigh of a midwifes appointment and just wanna know if all is well...
WHEN ARE YOU GONNA REVEAL YOUR NAME?

Ok so i thought it might be time to join this thread although im a bit nervous as it seems like tempting fate abit. I am due between Dec 25 and 28th! Will know more tomorrow cos am having an early scan due to 2 past mc (july 04 and jan 05). My boobs are like boulders and im really tired but apart from that im not sick yet etc. Am on aspirin to see if that stops me mc and am very worried about the next 3 weeks as both mc happened at 7 and 8 weeks. Have been taking it easy and not doing very much but all be well my scan tomorrow will reveal a heartbeat and i can get booked back in for 2 weeks time for another scan. If i can reach 9 weeks i will feel alot more confident. Well thats it. am off to read all this thread now.

Hi Bonkerz, so glad to see you over here.
I hope your scan goes well tomorrow

good luck fo=r tomorra and the next couple of weeks xx

bonkerz good luck for tommorow

DQ i am not too good to be honest and thinking of giving the board a bit of a rest...just in case type of thing..I am so jealous of everyone getting their scans and my own gps etc being arses and not even listening to my requests despite my 3 mcs...ffs i feel like they dont even matter. All i seem to do on here is moan which isnt helping anyone and I am getting quite bad tum pains [which have had form the start] but its getting me down... Dont want to ruin it for all others on here so will see what happens in next few days
take care all

nemo, dont feel like that! YOU are worth alot, and should change gps if they wont help, or contact an early pg unit direct. we want to hear how you are, happy sad, joyous or complaining. its part of being pg and part of this thread. god how boring it would be if we all came on here and said everything is fine and i feel great. God forbid anything awful should happen we would all benefit from the support and help -as we all did on the missed m/c thread.
look at me -i feel so awfully sick i have achieved nothing all day, and been grumbling about feeling sick all day on here. the 'wont go on the thread just incase' is silly hun, I would miss you so much!

Good morning ladies.

Just a little post to let you know all is not well with me, I went for my scan on Fri which resulted in emergency surgery.

I have posted this elsewhere, as I don't want to put news like this on a happy and inspiring thread.

I wish you love and luck to all of you, and thank you for being here for me when Ive need to off load in the past. Sue x

Oh Golds, I'm so sorry.
I hope that you are doing OK. Be very kind to yourself over the coming weeks.
xxx

Nemo, I'm sorry you are feeling so down. You aren't ruining it for anyone hun. These threads are here to share any feelings, not just when you are feeling on cloud nine. Have a think about changing GP, yours does sound pretty poor. Is there anyone else at the same surgery you can see?
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Morning everyone,

Golds I'm so sorry to hear your news - hugs to you and your family. I will find the other thread to get full details but my thoughts are with you.

Congrats to Bonkerz - there are alot of us on here who are cautious so your in good company

Nemo - right little missey!!!!!! I, like DQ, would miss you loads and loads if you went off into hiding so don't you dare even think about it - or I'll have to come and kick your arse

I know this is a really hard time for you - there are so many of us here who really understand how you are feeling, please don't feel like you can't talk to us - to be honest you are only saying what I am thinking most of the time. Your doctor is an arse and I think you should do whatever you can to get your early scan - go and sit in his office and cry (I usually find this helps ) Tell him the stress of not knowing isn't good for you or the bump.
Perhaps you could try chatting with Mears (she is a midwife) she might know of another route for you to go down.

Anyway, in the meantime - you keep posting lady - or they'll be trouble love ya!!!!!

So sorry to hear you news Golds, lots of love & hugs to you and your family.xxxx.

Nemo: Don't you dare leave this board!!! We all need support from time to time and that is what we are all here for. We are all moaning that we don't feel well so please don't leave us. I found a previous site so helpful and so supportive when I was going through some problems and we want to help you!!!

Stay with us.....don't go!!

Morning all,

Golds, I am sorry to hear your news. ((((((((((((hug))))))))))))) My thoughts are with you..

Nemo,
You must not leave, We will not let you.. You share your problems i share mine and we stick together.. its all for one and one for all.. (please dont go i have a feeling about you and you will be fine but i would demand that your doctor gives you an early scan or ring the maternity unit and explain your case, that you worried and would like one.. If not we'll just have to kidnap a midwife and a scan machine!..) Now girl put your feet up and relax, were all here for you.

Nothing new with me no symtoms really just the boobs and kinda tired...
God I think i am only 5+4!!!!!

Golds - so sorry to hear your news.

Hi bonkerz congrats to you.

Thanks sweatheart for the dates - a bank holiday eh?I guess i wont be getting many visitors to the hospital from carless friends.

Nemo - perhaps we can all do a deal about this good news/bad news thing and agree that in this space we'll just go ahead and say what we're going through without fear of seeming insenstive for being happy or conversely bringing others down. I'm new to all this I know but I'm sure we are all going to face massive ups and downs over the next months and i for one want to feel that I can offload without guilt. I see this site as saving the sanity of my nearest and dearest from my worse excesses (so you've been warned).

Havemt found the other thread but wanted you to know your in my thoughts....
Nemo,where the hell do you think your going?Get your arse back NOW........

I didnt sleap well last night and have had really bad period like pains,but as there isnt any bleeding should i be worried...Cause I am already and dont know what to do...
GHow is everyone else?? xx
