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!

get dd ready for bed shortly as well..I could have stayed at my mum's a bit later but I can't really laze on the sofa in my pjs there, so decided to get dp to bring me home!!! It's a Friday today so hope all of you who have plans for the weekend have a good one...you can easily lose track of the days when you're a sahm!!!!

oh...my message didn't post properly!! Never mind, I was only harping on about being left on my own tonight with a frozen lasagne while dp goes to a bbq lol... hugs to cloth addict and anyon else who's slightly worried about different stuff x

PrincessTweetz that was me last night, on the sofa in my pj's with a microwave lasagne watching What Katie Did Next (yes I have rubbish taste in tv) while DH was fine dining at a posh Thai restaurant - paid for by work! I am on the sofa again tonight watching fifi and the flowertots with dd in her pj's about to go to bed! I love it when they are all clean and lovely in their pyjamas!

tostaky fingers crossed for your test results - maybe you could call and try and get some more sense out of them in the meantime if you are worried?

Lol, we can have bad tastetogehe then, cuz I watch that too...I didn't watch last night's episode tho...(n this is where u can call me sad!!)... I sat n aught up with 2 episodes that I missed hehe...gonna watch last night's later me thinks!! It can't be all that bad tho, cuz even my dp watched it with me...he doesn't like Katie's new boyf haha
Aww me too, I let my dd saty up a lil later last night, cuz she was giving me a bt of a pampering...she was putting make up on my face using a pen, and pretending to wash my hair with a bottle of hand cream...very relaxing!! She's all tucked up now tho bless her, I was watching her with my 2 month old niece today, n i think she's gonna be such a cute big sister, she tried feeding & winding Scarlett & it was just so adorable!

Sorry to hear your news Clothaddict I really wish you well in the future.

Thinking of both Tostaky and Thehuntress. Praying for a good result for you both.

Didn't want to post this yesterday as I was posting for MLS but I had my 12 week scan (actually 13+2) and all is fine. They don't do nuchal here so I'm afraid you're all talking a foreign language to me

So sorry to hear your news clothaddict. Thinking of you.

So sorry clothaddict

Please may I join you? I'm due on 27 April, and have my 12 week scan booked for 13 October. This is my first pregnancy - I've been feeling nauseous for weeks. Despite the fact that we were trying for over a year to conceive, I was still knocked sideways by the news, although seeing the early scan made it all feel a little more real!

Welcome Fajitas I remember how I felt when I was expecting No.1.... Just wait until the little creature arrives!
Best thing that ever happened to me - nothing beats being a mum

welcome fajitas congratulations.
i went out with some girlfriends on firday and was the designated driver of course. it was quite fun being the only one not hung over the next day though!
had some pains the last couple of days but they ease off when i sit/lie down so hopefully just stretching pains. this pregnancy is dragging so much, still nearly 2 weeks until my scan, the suspense is killing me!

Hi All,

Welcome fajitas!

I too am having a lovely hangover-free Sunday after a party last night nicnac. Makes a change.

Have started a thread on the pregnancy board (if anyone's interested) about the different results I got from my two nuchal scans this week .....

hi all

sorry not been on for ages i was keeping head in sand or should i say toilet lol. i had my 12 week scan on friday and it was the most emotional thing i have ever experienced .amazing . due date still april 5th xxxxxxx

hello all

also not been on for a while, battling awful nausea, tiredness, work and 2 DD's. a great combination!

plus DH still having major meltdown about this baby. he is very unhappy that i am pregnant, says he doesnt want any more DC, and is doing his utmost to prove i wont cope by doing precisely nothing with the DD's or around the house. (ie working and playing as much sport as physically possible) combined with my sickness ive been having a pretty shit few weeks.

only told a couple of close friends, waiting till DH cheers up abit till i tell anyone else. people must be thinking ive become a right grumpy sod, dont want to socialise as feel so awful.

got a dating scan on weds, bit nervous even tho i know the sickness is a good sign, lots of hormones. well done to you 1st time mums, its a really special time with your first. hoping some excitement coming my way soon, not just fear with how ill cope!

Hi all,

Welcome to our new members.

I am so sorry for the bad news

I am waiting for my scan date. I am worried about the postal strikes. I am still waiting for midwife appt and will have to phone if i havent heard by the end of the week.

I am not having nuchal scan. i dont want one.

Feeling better now but still v.tired in afternoons.

I am pretty sure that something will be wrong at scan. I feel like I am pushing my luck by expecting things to be ok with the pregancy.

srce I have been through what you are going through and I know its really hard. All you can do is look after yourself and leave OH to sort his feelings out. Dont allow him to make you feel guilty, he made this baby too! I hope he gets it together very soon and gives you the support you deserve.

Bad luck srce it is hard enough dealing with pregnancy symptoms when you have help, let alone doing it all on your own. Have you got family or friends who can help ease the pressure???
Think my nausea is possibly easing but has been replaced by a bug and DS2 has had a fever since Wednesday, boo hoo

Srce That must be hard. Is your DH coming with you to the scan? Hopefully seeing the little bean will make it all more real for him and help him to bond. I think it's really hard for men at this stage and they often forget and become a bit obsessed with work and stuff. I know I've had to pull mine up via a hromonal temper tantrum a couple of times!

Welcome to the new girls. hope everyone is coping in their own way. We have told most family and close friends now although everything is a bit muted due to MMC last time. Still every day is a step closer to a happy result.

MrsKate nice to see you being fully excited on here

Meant to say, Chegirl fingers crossed for your scan.

pilla Hope you're all better soon.

Morning Everyone!!

I can't believe the weekend is over all ready!

I'm starting to panic, i'm off on holiday next wednesday and starting to worry about everything i have to do before we go, plus we're trying to find a new home as we sold ours last weekend and there's nothing at all that we like... so i'm just having a momentary fluster!!

McFee Nice to hear from you... My scan went really well thank you! How are you?

Are there any scans today?

I've got an appointment with my consultant on Friday, i've got to convince him to give me a 2nd c-section due to the horrendous experience with DS1, so fingers are firmly crossed that he will agree!

I can't believe i'm in the 2nd trimester now, hopefully this will be a speedy pregnancy.... but probably will drag!

Hi everyone. I'm 12 weeks now . I have my scan on Wednesday but strangely I'm not feeling so anxious now as I am starting to feel properly pregnant, so I now believe there is a baby in there! Hoping for a good nuchal result, but I'm beginning to think I might not have any further tests regardless of what happens.
Sorry for you though huntress, it must be awful having to wait for the next scan, I really hope you get good news.
Rtuff I'm hoping for an elective c-section this time too due to previous nightmarish experiences. Let us know what the consultant says.

Chegirl - just wanted to say that I'm not having the nuchal scan either - DP and I decided we'll keep the baby irrespective of the outcome, so don't need to know the statistical likelihood of a bad outcome. (We were the same with DS - everyone around us in RL seemed to think we were really odd.) And you're not pushing your luck with this pregnancy - every pregnancy is special and as likely to be perfect as your preceding ones.

Good luck to everyone with scans still to come - ours is 1st October.

Hi all, hope you've all had a good weekend. We went fell walking on Saturday in the lakes and had 20 people round for supper at night - tiredness is getting better, obviously! Drank non alcoholic wine all night to throw everyone off the scent. I was knackered on Sunday though, didn't move far from the couch!

We elected not to have a nuchal scan either. When my midwife found out that my mam had a Down's pregnancy she made a huge fuss about me having one, as though my chances of the same happening were hugely increased. She sent me into a complete tailspin as it had never occurred to me that this was the case. Dh and I read up about it and found that she was talking a load of nonsense. I shouldn't have any higher risk than any other woman my age (I'm 28). We would keep the baby whatever the outcome and I'm not sure I could cope with waiting for results/making decisions about diagnostic tests. I know my midwife personally and didn't like her much to begin with - can't stick her now !

Just over a week to go until my dating scan though, we're both so excited! .

reneRusso Rtuff are you not considering vbac? i am but im scared sh.tless!!! and i know that at the first thing going wrong im going to end up in the theater.
Im considering a doula this time around though. Anyone has got experience with doula?

I have decided not to tell work and just to let them guess... im just back from mat leave so feel a bit odd to say im pregnant again! not sure if it is the best way to do, but there you go.
i also found a document on the printer about no pay rise and a 5% pay cut for everybody... to avoid new redundancies.. so the mood is not so good here.

Tostaky I'm definitely not considering a VBAC, With DS1 it was such a horrible experience, i do not have any trust in the midwives at the hospital to get things right this time as they got it so completely wrong last time. When they did finally realise what was going on i was rushed in for an emergency c-section which meant having a general, dh thought he was going to lose both me and the baby, i felt it completely hindered bonding with DS in the first few days, and afterwards i had to have 2 blood transfusions after collapsing in the shower and being extreemly anaemic. So this time i want things to be as controlled as possible, i know things never completely go to plan but having an elective means i will know date, time and how it's going to happen. So in short there's NO way i'm going through that again. But i know everyones experience is different and if mine wasn't quite so bad i would probably consider a VBAC.

Renerusso i will keep you posted on the outcome....

tostaky, I have had two previous deliveries: 1st was ventouse (not pleasant), due to baby stuck in sideways position and 2nd emergency c/s due to baby in wrong position (head tilted back). So I have somewhat lost confidence in my ability to push a baby out. But I am open minded, if they want me to attempt VBAC then I will but it seems to me inevitable I will be off to theatre again. And its so stressful when its an emergency, would rather have it planned this time.

i too had an emergency cs last time under general and my surgeon told me after that i would be able to have an elective 1 the next time. however when i told the midwife that im going to have an elective cs she told me that things have changed since what my surgeon told me and i probably wont be allowed 1 this time. i was really mad about it as i felt they had trapped me, i did a thread on here about it and it seems it varies from area to area. i see the consultant on 26th nov and im going to cry and beg if i have to and i know im entitled to a 2nd opinion if he refuses me. the midwife did say that he wont make his final decision until near the end of the pregnancy though incase of complications or the baby being breach, way to leave me hanging! in our area now if you are going in for a cs because the baby is breach they scan you right before going into theatre and if the baby has turned they send you home to wait for labour. how mean!
i really really want my planned cs
