Due April 2010????.....

[Rtuff]

Anyone else due April 2010?

I just found out yesterday I'm 4 weeks preggers after trying for our 2nd baby for a year and half, at last!! It seemed as though it was never going to happen!

Here's to the next 8-9 months!

macana, I paid for a scan with ds 5 years ago and it cost £120 with BUPA. The main reason I went for it is because our health authority didn't scan until 20 weeks and there was no way I could wait until then. They have changed their policy now and scan at 12 weeks so this time I think I will wait for the NHS one. It seems like an eternity though doesn't it?

I am 6 weeks today and still feeling very nervous because I don't really have any symptoms. I think I might buy another digital test later in the week.

Morning everyone

Well these few weeks seem to be really dragging! 7+4 today slowly, slowly getting there! Well my MS has changed from feeling really sick up untill about 4pm to vomiting now in the morning and then feeling better at about 11 - which i prefer, at least i feel a bit more alive for the rest of the day especially with my 3 year old DS running around!

Well i've got my booking in appt tomorrow which i'm looking forward to, it should make it feel a bit more real (although MS seems to be doing a good job so far..) and 1 month and counting to my 12 week scan!!

Morning everyone!
Welcome to newbies! My MS is kicking in a bit, it's really just queasiness and seems to go away if I eat something so it's manageable. I was sooooo tired on Saturday morning though I had to go to bed, I took DD with me and she read her books and chattered away to herself, before she got bored and started poking me in the eyes and jumping on me. Oh well, at least I got a little rest.
Booking appointment not till next week, want it to come sooner.

I have made an appt with the GP tommorow morning. I was going to leave it but I had such a dreadful night.

I am waking very early. I wake up with a start and feelings of panic (breathing, twitching etc), I try and go back to sleep but as soon as i relax myself the feelings come back in a rush. So I am waking at about 3am-4am everymorning and not getting back to sleep.

I try and tell myself its hormonal or something but the feeling is so much like a panic attack its very scarey. I am a bit anxious but not enough to cause this. Has anyone else experienced this horrible early morning feeling in early pg?

I am getting a bit desperate tbh.

chegirl that sounds horrid. Poor you
I have had some heart flutters, and also horrible nightmares, but not the panic-attack feelings that you describe. I hope the doctor can help.

Hope you're OK chegirl? Certainly doesn't sound much fun. Hope the GP can do something.

My DH flew out to Iraq this morning for 7 months, so I've plonked the DC in front of CBeebies whilst I sit here and try not to cry like a big wuss. I'll blame the hormones.

Thanks ladies. I dont think its anything serious but its getting me down nevertheless.

I am hoping it will pass like most of these weird pg things.

My OH was in the first Gulf War Plopper. We were not married then but it was hard. My DD was a Gulf War baby born Jan 92

You have a good sob x

Betty I think they are a bit like waking nightmares IYKWIM so are probably related to hormones. Bloody hormones eh?

Hi everyone, been away for a few days but back online now. Welcome to the newbies, and Plopper hope that you have good support in RL while your DH is in Iraq, that must be so hard. Here's me moaning about DH having to do the odd work trip and be away for a week or so here and there, you've made me feel quite ashamed of myself!
Chegirl, I had a similar experience from weeks 4 to 6 (I'm 6 + 1 now so it literally stopped last week) of waking up at 4am and being unable to go back to sleep - am so tired anyway that being awake from 4am and having 2 year old DS to contend with was making me a bit mad and stare-y! Also having hot / cold sweats, and feeling nauseous but not actually being sick - just eating an awful lot of extra strong mints. They seem to do the trick!
Am going to GP on Weds for the first time so hoping she'll get me onto the list for a scan asap, this waiting is hideous - can't believe it's only 2 weeks since i found out I'm pg, it feels like months already.
Fingers crossed we all start feeling better soon!

Hi All, i've been away too. Sorry to hear every one is feeling so rubbish, but I suppose it's a good thing.

I'm exhausted, dd is watching far too much cbeebies and I can't wait for pre school to go back. I had my doctors appointment today and he seems to think I will be due March 20th. I explained to him a number of times about my long cycle but he wasn't having it. So midwife will phone tomorrow and I'll get my booking in appointment. I'm planning to go private for my scans (after a traumatic pregnancy with dd) so will book into Fetal Medicine Centre I think for that. They did an ace job last time.

Oh poor you plopper, if you can stomach it some chocolate I think you need. .

Take care all x

chegirl I hope you are ok? I have been waking early too and not getting back to sleep, mainly due to nausea but last night whenever I closed my eyes I saw horrible nightmarish shapes - I'm sure it is hormones as I remember all these weird things happening during puberty too. Anyway, let us know how you get on at the dr's...

I saw the dr today, and have my booking appt with the midwife in 2 weeks. Where I live now you get the same midwife throughout, so pleased as last time I saw a different one every time. Think it will make a huge difference.

thighs is that the Fetal Medicine Centre on Harley St? I went there last time too, also found them really good.

plopper you deserve a good cry, must be so hard for you. Come on here and let off steam if you need to, thats what we're here for!

Hello. I used to post on Mumsnet and lurk quite a bit, as I'm the full-time carer to my 20-month old daughter while my wife works. Haven't been here for a while.

How would you feel about a man joining your throng? Our EDD is 14th April.

I can see how a bloke being in your midst might put some brakes on some of you confessing your symptoms, so am willing to not participate if you feel uncomfortable. But I am let in to all the details by my wife, and am just wanting to be the best support I can be to her.

Both of us are terrified of the one miscarriage we've had so far, but have been TTC for 16 months now. So we really hope this sticks and are trying to relax into it. DW is very tired, and DD is too energetic.

Anyway, I've added all the new names, including mine, since the last list. But if you'd prefer me not around, I'll take my name off, and get me coat?

Hallo, can I please join your April club!!

Am expecting DC #2, already have one DS. Got my BFP yesterday morning but not sure when I conceived - was a little lucky this month as I was 'tricked' by a Calista saliva scope .

I'm feeling typically rough - VERY sick, quite tired and hot and feverish. Also really want to tell close family but feeling like I might jinx myself - stupid eh.

Jo x

BelfastBloke I think it is great to have an expectant daddy on here - adds another dimension...

Hello new people
I did think BelfastBloke was a funny name for an expectant mummy!
WeeTiger the only thing that helps my MS is eating...I am going to get a bump long before it's got anything to do with the baby!

First, hello to everyone who's joined since I last posted, and great news that everyone's still got horrible pregnancy symptoms (IYKWIM).

Please may I have a rant about two related (but not pregnancy-linked) things here?

My DP's Nan is critically ill in hospital because her lungs are failing. DP was told on Friday morning that she wouldn't live to see Friday afternoon, but amazingly she struggled through the weekend and has even regained consciousness (which was wonderful because it meant that DP's Mum and Dad were able to rush home from their cancelled holiday in time to say goodbye).

The first thing that's getting to me is this: on Friday her doctors, assuming she was in her final hours, decided to stop treating her diabetes and thyroid conditions. But given she is still with us, shouldn't they start treating them again? I know her prognosis isn't good, but I'm sure some of her pain is now being caused uncontrolled diabetes and thyroid. I just feel that she's being left to it, however long it takes. Her consultant didn't even want her to have food or water, but thankfully DP put his foot down about that.

The second thing that's really bothering me is that DP's sister is a nun, and her convent won't let her come home to visit DNan before she dies. It's causing great distress to both DSIL and DNan, and I can't for the life of me understand the justification. (This isn't a rant against the Catholic church per se, just against whoever within DSIL's convent made the decision.) I know that DSIL is allowed unplanned visits outside the convent on compassionate grounds, DP's grandad's funeral for example, as well as planned visits with notice, so it's not a ban on visits in themselves. What good can possibly be served by denying DNan and DSIL their last time together?

Sorry, rant over, I just needed to get it off my chest without burdening poor DP, who's tearing himself apart trying to be in both Yorkshire with DNan and down South with DS and me.

Oh, one final thing. I don't have any tips for MS, but I've found my boobs are far less painful since I've started wearing my maternity bra to bed.

How awful CinnabarRed.

I think someone needs to have a word with the doctors to gain assurance that she is receiving the best possible care.

Awful that the convent won't allow dp's sister to visit. Is there anybody she can appeal to against this decision?

Another positive of DNan regaining consciousness was that DP was able to give her the pleasure of telling her that I'm pregnant (we weren't planning to tell anyone until after the first scan, just in case). She was delighted and DP says that her last words before she drifted off into natural sleep that evening were "a baby, a baby".

hiya, can i join you? im expecting #4 around the 9th april. was quite shocked to begin with as i have a 5 yr old, 3 yr old and a 2 yr old.

This pregnancy is kicking DW's arse. She's really sleepy all the time, so after the football tonight I'm driving DD away up country to visit friends for 2 days.

Hopefully DW can just sleep and laze about if she wants to with neither of us around for 48hrs (although she'll probably phone builders to come round and renovate the house, or something like that).

She hasn't yet thrown up, although she's felt like it many times. She says that whenever she feels like upchucking, Tesco's Finest lemon curd yoghurt takes the impulse away.

Welcome snotdroolanddirtybum. I can't cut and paste on this thing so I will have to leave it to someone else to update the list.

I have no symptoms whatsoever so I have just gone out and bought some more pregnancy tests. The good news is the test is positive and the conception indicator says 3 weeks+ I am actually 6 weeks but 3+ is the maximum the indicator can go up to and it has moved on a week since last week which is all good stuff. I just don't understand how I can be pregnant and feel totally normal, if anything I feel less tired than normal.

Cinnabar it's not very christian to not allow someone to go and see her dying sister is it? (no I'm not going to get into a religious debate either). I hope they can sort something out. I hope the doctors are looking after your DP's nan a bit better now. That's so nice that you were able to tell her about the baby, though.
Tummy so so sore today! I am mainlining polo mints, they do seem to be helping a bit.

hello, i have just found out i am pregnant today, has anyokne else?

hi, would like to join too, my due date is 11-Apr 10. this is my first, so no idea what to expect and can't ask ppl in RL as haven't told anyone yet. apart from my sis n a fd (i only told him because he told me first his wife got a bfp around the same time as me).

so far, not much sypmtoms, apart from tender boobs. feel fairly normal and a bit puzzled by it, no nausea or tiredness, actually less tired then before , i've been taking prenatal vitamins tho, maybe they r doing me some good? had a tiny bit of beige discharge yesterday tho, was a bit scared, but have had nothing since, so hopefully it's fine.

have called MW, will have a scan at 10wks, fingers crossed everything will be fine and i can start telling ppl then. these early wks are so nerve wracking, have heard too many bad things.
