June 2010? Goodness am I the first!

[ScaredOfEverything]

Hello everyone...

Had a positive test this morning, suspect due on 3rd June. Gulp! Very surprised as DD is only 9 months and it took me 2 years to conceive the first time around.

Anyone here to join teh long wait?

XX scared

Congratulations and welcome Sunshineyday!

Just wondering how everyone else is feeling. I seem to be miserable and really fed up with everything right now for no reason at all. Nothing seems to cheer me up just now. Feels like I always get just before my period. Is it just hormones and will it go away?

Can you add me to the list please? I did add myself before (prev page) but now I have disappeared.

Icanneverthinkofagoodname - sorry you're feeling miserable, it's probably just hormonal and it will pass - fwiw, I'm a scary raging monster if anything annoys me at the moment. Last time I was pg I felt horribly sad for about 2 weeks, and then it went and I just felt sick

you sound really down it is probably just the hormones making you weepyish. Do something nice this evening to cheer yourself up, even if it's just getting a DVD and watching it with your feet up and some popcorn. Don't choose a sad film though. Or how about a manicure etc?

allgoingsouth can i quiz you on your scan?

did they say how big the sac was ( diameter?)

I am very nervous following clearblue tests akimbo and not many symptoms...

I too have had an early scan and although i did not think seven - more like 6 + 1 or 2 days - i have come a way feeling bleak...

the sonographer said looked early 5's and the one sac dimension i can remember was 6.8 although i think the others were smaller

we also saw a very small fetal pole and heartbeat but feeling blue

thanks

dontdare they told me it is really hard to accurately date a pregnancy until you are over 8 weeks along so don't get worried. A heartbeat and a fetal pole is excellent news, congratulations.

A heartbeat is great news! Don't the chances of miscarriage drop dramatically once you've seen this?

I am feeling pretty much fine but then I had the world's most symptom-free pregnancy last time and am hoping for another like that!

hmmm thanks but not feeling fab..

cramping and light spotting

just have a bad feeling

Am keeping everything crossed for you dontdare. I have similar - brown spotting and very very mild cramping but no heartbeat or fetal pole on scan. It's awful when all you can do is wait and see.

thanks Clairedeloon and i will keep everything crossed for you...

trying desperately to re assess ovulation date etc....

not wanting to be dreadfully pessimistic but clearblue digital test only just clicked onto 5 weeks.... baby looks 10 days behind.... and spotting...

dontdare pulls on every ounce of pragmatism !!! you are right claire all we can do is sit tight.

I was told to go back in 2 weeks if not m/c!

Good luck, both of you. Hope everything is all right.

Dontdare - sorry to hear that you are having spotting.
They did measure the sac but can't remember what it was. To be honest I was just releived to be able to see a heartbeat. They said that can't be accurate on dates until fetus (spelling?) measures at least 5mm.
I hope it all works out ok for you..

Evenin' All. Welcome to the thread recent arrivals. I am keeping a low profile at the mo. 3rd day of light brownish bleeding. I called GP surgery to explain this and to say I still had no MW or antenatal appointment at the hospital and was told to try ringing the hospital myself (even though I have no confirmation they will take me!) I am trying to take a "what will be will be" attitude and for now I am going to wait and see (nothing I can do anyway). Interestingly just before spotting started I noticed my skin (usually dry/comination) was a bit oily on the chin and had a couple of spots. So, could be hormonal changes.
Will have a look in and will be rooting for all of you but may go quiet for a while...(apart from constant sounds of munching toast )

May I join you?

BFP this morning with my first ever Clear Blue Digital displaying a 3+. I was surprised and pleased but I am not spotting so not feeling overly optimistic.

I wasn't going to post at all until I noticed just how many others are in the same boat.

I will stand by and hope to hear some positive stories.

(This would be dc #5 for us but I have a rather sketchy Ob history with more miscarriages than successes. I did spot at this stage with Ds2 so all might turn our well.)

I am burping like an old man today. Horrible. I'd forgotten about that bit. And my breasts hurt. I am going to M&S to buy something stretchy and supportive to wear in bed at the earliest opportunity.

I'm glad you said that about burping Horton as I have been burping like you wouldn't believe and I asked my mum and it seems she can't remember much about being pregnant except going off coffee and liking tomatoes so isn't a great deal of help.

Horton - I am exactly the same. As soon as I eat or drink anything I belch. Not exactly ladylike. I am also suffering terrible wind, much to my DH's amusement (not a very mature sense of humour). This seems to get worse as the day progresses. Anyone else suffering?

I am having, erm, disturbances in the bottom area, too. I don't remember it being quite like this last time. Last time I was just constipated like you wouldn't believe. This time I have all kinds of rumblings going on down there. Not nice. And smelly. Sorry if TMI.

I have been browsing online and M&S appear to have discontinued the lovely soft seamless comfy crop tops that I wore in bed last time round. Woe is me. Anyone know of anywhere that does cotton/lycra crop tops with plenty of lycra? Secret support vests are no good for me as my breasts are in the wrong place due to having a very short torso.

Try Sloggi Comfort tops (£15 for 2 at simplybe, other retailers available). I always bought the M+S crop tops for wearing under deep v-neck tops but M+S stopped doing them some time ago. Bought the Sloggi ones recently for a holiday and they are very comfortable although they do have a seam across the breast. The material is much thicker than the M+S ones, more of a thick jersey, so are very supportive.

Thank you, those look the kind of thing I want. Great!

Hi All, just checking in as is ages since i've been on here - sorry to see the spotting/crampy issues, is such a horrid uncertain time when you just want to be squealy and excited! Am still feeling utterly terrible in the days - so sick & headachy & cross! Also not sleeping that well, keep waking up at 4am with backache, too annoying.

Lovely to see so many new lovely (nearly) bumps!!

Hi Ladies,

Just a quick message to those who are experiencing spotting. I had this at around 6 and 7 weeks with my first pregnancy but everything was fine and DD is now 2, so it doesn't always have an unhappy ending.

Also as I understand it (researched extensively during spotting 1st time round) that once a heart beat is seen during an early scan the risk of a miscarriage is lower. Hope this might provide some reasurrance.
