Due February 2006 - the sequel !

[Mama5]

Hi Girls - so here we all are and so far so good (fingers and toes crossed and wheelbarrow loads of baby dust abounding)

Thought I would start a new thread (new name too) as babies being found out about now will just about be into March so we are no longer the absolute newbies which feels good!

So maybe we should collate all our due dates(any one had a dates scan yet??)

Keep it up!

3k, i get really bad constipation in the first 3 months, my gp puts me on lactulose which is perfectly safe and does work, but not too much!

Hi Spacecadet, I will ask MW on Monday, it is awlful somedays and then others I dont seem to notice. Can your MW prescribe stuff or is it just the GP?

you have to get the gp to prescribe it or the mw will ask the gp on your behalf, dont try taking any over the counter remedies btw as they can be a bit fierce!(and could be harmful)in the meantime, if you can stomache it, try some prunes!!(cherries can help to, also melon) and drink plenty of orange juice..god sound like a blimin text book dont i ??!!!!!

I have something about cherries at the moment so hopefully that will help. Ta for the advice, I will speak to MW first before taking anything, I've been a bit paranoid even taking a few paracetamol!!! It's all a bit strange but exciting too.

Going to join this thread now. Got a BFP earlier this evening. Head is in a turn. From my dates, I work out that the baby is due on March 1st, but will be delivered 2 weeks early approx 14th/15th February. Didn't think anything would happen so quickly, don't really know what to think. XxX

welcome angerdmarche and congratulations. Why will you be delivered early?

COnstipation - I go for a couple of days with nothing, feel really bloated and sore then over the next day it starts to happen. I was drinking fresh orange to help which did work but I have gone off it now!

going for an elective section. XxX

Congrats Angedemarche - a valentines baby - how lovely!

Will this be your first?

my second!

angedemarche, congratsand welcome, iam due on 11th feb

SC_ what do you think?

ive sent you an email angedemarche..congrats again, have you been to the doctors yet?

Got your email SC, haven;t been to the docs yet cos only did test last night. Probably best to make an appointment tomorrow. Don't know what they might say...
Glad Im on here with all you gals, going to need loads and loads of support over the next wee while. HOpefully I will be able to support as well. XxX

silly me! of course you wont have been to the docs yet if you only tested yesterday! thats what weare all on here for, to support each other.

SC

feel free to email me angedemarche, do you have any symptoms yet?

Spacecadet--Thanks so much for posting to us on the August thread. I was thinking about you and others and it is so nice to see you on another antenatal club thread. I crashed your thread in case you weren't looking at ours anymore.

Just to let you know, Popadopolis has been admitted to hospital following a couple of days really bad morning sickness. She and the baby are both fine - good heartbeat on the scan - but she is dehydrated so they've got her on a drip and keeping her in for tonight at least. Pops and her dh are both Christian's and would really appreciate your prayers at this time. Thanks, Twiga x x x

can't believe how big this thread is getting. Is anyone organised to do stats.

Spacecadet so glad to see you on here. Seen your name on the babies born in July / August thread and i we both have teenagers so not just me with a big age range of children.

Had a bit of a scare yesterday when someone went in the back of me in my car, but I know the baby is well protected but it still shook me up.

Thinking of pops.

gosh hope you are ok lexyb, dont worry about your little bean it will be fine tucked away in your pelvis hope you are ok though, was there much damage?
praying for pops, i suffer from hyperemesis too and have to be hospitilised when preg, i hope she feels a bit better after some fluids, poor thing, im still at the queasy stage but know the actual vomiting isnt far off

Oh Spacecadet you have my sympathies for the coming months, a friend of ours had this and could only keep down icecream for 9mths, she too was in and out of hospital {{{{Hugs}}}}

Pops, hope you feel lots better soon {{{Hugs}}}

Hi to angedmarche and congrats! nice to see you on here

3k, I was going to say prune juice! but I think scad beat me to it! I do remember someone telling me though that Fresh OJ can aggrivate constipation in pregnant women? anyone know any more?

Huge hugs to all hyperemesis suffers... I had it with DD, and it terrifies me.

Going to introduce myself properly;
I am 27years old
married for 3 years
this is my second child
I am a teacher
ttc for about 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!
due date 1st March
elective section 14/15 Feb most likely
going to see doc this week
first time round just felt a bit sick all the time, but never was actually sick
didn't have any cravings, but went off some things ie chocolate, yikes! and toothpaste!
had a small bump
not sure what else to say.
I will feel more confident about the whole thing once I speak to the doctor.
much love to you all
XxX ADM

Wonderful news ADM! I am so excited for you. Take it easy and give the little bean a perfect stress-free place to grow in
