Due March 2010 - do my boobs look big in this?

[donttrythisathome]

Hello everyone,

I can't find a March 2010 thread so thought I'd start with.

This is my first and i think my EDD is 2 March 2010.

Come and join me!

Hi sariska I didn't sleep on the way in as it was mid-morning (my best time!) but on the way back (4ish) I was asleep before the first stop. Bliss.

Yesterday was more difficult as it was all driving stuff. Think more London appointments might be preferable.

London again on Friday, more sleep, horrah!

Sorry to hear your news meita and marmite. Hope you are both back with bfps soon. Beautiful post meita. Take care x

Welcome babydubai and swingsofglory and congratulations on your BFPs

Feeling reasonable today but still had plenty of sickness. Managed to actually make a lovely stew for tea without spewing from the smell though...

My latest thing is ice in all my drinks, it helps a little I feel

9 wks tomorrow, midwife app on mon eek!

Ha Dalyrumps funny that - me too on the ice! Not sure why I suddenly have to have it as I'm not normally bothered.

Morning all. I haven't been on here for ages but I have been lurking. I am so sad to hear of all those who have left our group - I wish you all the luck and success for the future.

MS has really affected me the last two weeks. When I am not throwing up I am wanting to throw up just so I can have that half hour of not feeling quite as nauseous that seems to follow it. Am also tired all the time and am going to bed earlier and earlier every day. Looking forward to the 2nd trimester and hope like Mumbot says I will be full of energy. Can barely muster the energy to get out of bed at the moment. Also can't cook so dh is doing it all which makes me feel very guilty. Have gone off loads of things but the wierdest one is bread - can no longer eat toast or sandwiches as they both seem to err, reappear later on.

The good thing this week has been that my boss (who by all accounts is a complete tw*t!) insisted on coming in to work this week despite having been diagnosed with swine flu on Monday! My doctor signed me off for the week so at least I have been able to get some rest at home. My doctor was furious with him though and even worse he had a temp in to cover for me and he didn't tell her he had it. Such a selfish idiot . I have asthma as well so am really not wanting to catch it (he doesn't know am pg though but still).

Dophus and Darlylumps - am completely into ice too - can't drink anything without it. Plus have to have a straw as well - no idea why but somehow it helps!

TLC - my boobs feel like really sore too but not massively bigger either. Plus I get the odd twinge too but am determined not to worry about it as its not really painful as such - more that I am aware of something going on.

Scooby - glad you aren't working the nightshifts as I know it was worrying you. I know that we are all meant to be able to carry on as normal but I think we need to give ourselves and our bodies a break. Our bodies are actually creating a life! Still can't get my head around it...

Anyway, sorry for my essay. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. Am off to a big black tie do tomorrow night which normally would be really excited about but have visions of me having to run out of dinner to throw up and then falling asleep on the dancefloor. HELP!

By the way Sariska - ever since I read your mention of Calyppo's, it's literally all I can think about. Will have to go and stock up this lunchtime!

Aaah Calypps - great idea. I'm sold.

Hi Ladies

just thought I would check in and let you know how my follow up scan at the EPU went....

Well, everything is where it should be: we saw the tiny baby (5.9mm CRL) and a flickering heartbeat - it was wonderful to see! I am so relieved.

DH came with me and he was so excited to see the little squiggly thing on the screen (I couldn't actually see very much as I was in a rather (ahem) awkward position....ahhh the joy of internal scans ...). He just squeezed my hand when we saw the heartbeat and said "I told you we could do it".

Dear all

I've been on mumsnet a few times over the past weeks but only just discovered this thread and have been using my time wisely at work by reading it in its entirety. So sorry for those who have lost their beans already and best of luck with TTC. Congrats to all the rest of you.

I've found the whole experience overwhelming (we weren't TTC but now are very happy) especially as I mixed up the dates (thought I was further along), had an early bleed, a scan which showed nothing and then a 3 week wait during our holiday for a scan that finally at 7+1 saw the fetal pole.

Have added myself below (9 March), but still feel anxious if my MS is better for a few hours and am knicker-checker extraordinaire! Cannot wait to be past my 12 weeks.

Thanks for having me!

Hi everyone, thought I'd add myself to the list now I've just about convinced myself I am actually pregnant. Only symptom so far is tiredness with the occasional wave of nausea and oddly, don't feel much like eating at all. With my last 2 pregnancies I had MS until end of second trimester so I'm hoping it stays away this time. I'm going to have to fib to the midwife to get a dating scan as they don't do them routinely here and I won't be convinced until I actually see it on screen. Likely EDD end of March some time but week difference between standard medical calculatr and mumsnet one. I'm inclined to believe mumsnet as it takes into account cycle length so I'll put that date here.

Another early scan here as I've been having stitch-like pain down one side and they wanted to check for ectopic - happily its not, and I got to see lo into the bargain! 8 wks and a reassuring flickering heartbeat, so feeling more official now! I don't think you really quite believe its happening until a medical professional tells you its real! Very exciting! A good reminder too of how fragile it all is - 2 of the women I was waiting with at the EPAU got bad news. And some young mums clearly didn't want to be in the position they're in - I guess by having a healthy pg and a wanted baby it puts our lo in a pretty good starting position - not that I'll not mess it all up once the lo arrive, I'm sure!

Sorry to hear there have been more early losses and welcome to the newbies.
I had my booking in appointment today which seemed to take forever. Will be under consultant care and be offered elective c-section or chance to VBAC if I want so need to think carefully. I don't have any strong feeling at the moment either way. Anyone got any experience of VBAC?
I am finally feeling a bit more human - the D&V bug I had really knocked me for six - completely sapped any small quantity of energy I had.
I am going to a surprise 40th party tomorrow night and have no idea what I can wear that won't cling to my increasingly big tummy and how to avoid drinking without giving the game away!
Looking forward to getting to 12 weeks and coming clean with my news to people in RL.

Hi.

Posted a couple of days ago. Was a knicker checker at the time. Yesterday I had blood when I wiped, went to Dr this morning and have a scan booked Monday. Meanwhile cramps have set in and a few clots etc. Feeling so gutted, second MC in 6 months. I am 45 so guess I'm lucky to have conceived anyway. I think this is it now. Anyone had a similar experience, at my age, and gone on to have a baby, or should i just stop. My partner wants to stop trying as he doesn't want me to go through this pain anymore.

Oh mumofadela, i'm so sorry this has happened to you for a 2nd time . I hope by some miracle it's not a mc... Only you know whether you want to try again, maybe have a long chat with your dh... ((hugs))

Sorry to hear your bad experience MumofAdela

Minicooper I've been getting a bit of a stitch like pain!!! . Could you describe yours to me? Was it constant? Or did it come and go?

Mine is like a tiny cramp every so often, and for a day or 2 I had a pain I'd say was like a stitch in my right side.

However, I was also a bit constipated, and had trapped wind at the time, so I'm think that maybe that was the reason (sorry if tmi!)

Sometimes when I stand up quickly, or roll over on my right side in bed I get a short sharp pain. I also get this sometimes when I do a big sneeze or cough. It's always on the same side, in the same location.

I have 1st mw appointment on 12 August and will be mentioning all this to her.

TakeLovingChances - mine was just like stitch - not constant, just when I stand up too quickly or am rushing around! I wasn't too worried about it, but thought it was worth checking out. And as I said, nice to have the reassurance of a scan!

Mumofadela - so sorry to hear your news - will be thinking of you on Monday. It will have seemed a very long weekend. Hope you're looking after yourself - or even better, being looked after.

Takinlovinchances-have had very similar pain.only there when standing,coughing or after weeing. Seems 2 have lifted after antibiotics 4 uti-despite mwife thinking mite b a pulled muscle!

Scooby26 thanks for that. I noticed that my urine is cloudy (sorry if tmi), although I don't have any pain when peeing, so I wasn't sure if it was a uti.

Hmmm, that is interesting, will see if I can get anti-biotics on Monday and see if it goes away.

Thanks.

TLC

TskeLovingChances I have this stitch like pain as well and I also have it when I roll onto my right side during the night and if I get up to quickly, sneeze. I think it is the uterus stretching and pulling and it doesn't seem to like us moving anymore!!!.

Also sickness really kicked up a gear yesterday, 4 times before I left the house so I thought i was safe to leave and then in the middle of Ikea breakfast and I didn't have time to get to the toilet!! . That put everyone lese off there's!.

I get a sharp pain on my right side if I sneeze sometimes, I think I got it last time and think it's just due to stretching etc...

I think my ms has been about 5% better today, wish it'd just go away! Quite excited about seeing the mw tomorrow. Want to know my scan date

Just a quick hi from me.

Am finding I cant lie on my stomach no more (already) and can feel something there. Definatly fatter than I was but no weight gain.
If I stretch too much it hurts.

Why did I decide this pregnancy lark was a good idea to do again?! lol

Hello Everyone,

So sorry mumofadela best of luck with whatever you both decide to do.

Am feeling really bad tempered at the moment just feeling like arguing with everyone and am struggling to be patient with my DS. I hate the fact that I feel too tired to play with him and just want to feel normal again. Is anyone else like this at the moment.

Am starting to look pregnant/ very bloated too which suprised me as didn't show last time until about 4mths.

Enjoy the MW appointment Dalrymps, mine is Tuesday - makes it seem more real doesn't it.

Hi everyone, my ms has kicked in good & proper - I had forgotten just how crap it can be, but I guess it is a good sign. My tummy definitely feels different too. It definitely is starting to feel very real now and I am just keeping my fingers crossed that everything is ok.

mumtofadela, so sorry for you. A friend is due to have her first child (a girl) at the end of August. She is 44 and they have been trying for years. You need to do what you feel is right for you and your DP.

Lemoade girl, I know what you mean about wanting to feel more normal again. I feel i'm letting ds down cause i'm just so tired and sick I find i'm just dragging myself through the day, can't be much fun for him. On the plus side he doesn't really seem that bothered and i'm making sure he gets lots of hugs. Dh is on hand to play with him lots after work too . Can't wait for the 2nd trimester when i'll (hopefully) feel more energetic and less sick!

Yeah midwife app makes it feel very official, only seems like 2 mins ago I recieved the letter with the app. Guess that's a sign that even though I feel time is dragging it's actually going pretty quick.

I can feel my tummy is a little different down there but doesn't look different yet. Just feel generally bloated and can't bare any tight trousers so have given in and am wearing my maternity trousers or dh's tracky bottoms already

Rindacella - Sorry the ms has got you, reassuring none the less but annoying to have to deal with.

Morning everyone - hope you had a good weekend. Mine was spent watching DH drink - first at dinner on Starturday night then at posh Christening on Sunday. I'm glad everyone knows - it make sit easy.

Re sharp pains - these sound like just growing pains - I'm getting them too.

Smac I had a VBAC. I was very hung up on having a VBAC. Labour was long (statistically equivalent to first labour). They wanted to go to CS as I stopped at 9cm and never entered stage 2 (I think this was due to the epidural). They said I could go for a trial of ventouse and took me into theatre prepped to switch to a CS if the ventouse didn't work.

The ventouse was successful but due tot he large cut I felt just as mangled as I did after the CS. I partly regretted being so insistent on the VBAC. Althought he longer recovery would have been hard with 2DCs

looks like i might be leaving you ladies.

been bleeding slighty since last night.

still have all my other symptoms and i'm not in any pain but i just have that feeling.

got the docs later to get referral for scan. hopefully will be today.

hope everyone else has much better luck.
