July Babies - Follow on from Pukey Tums and Burpy Bums

[stac14]

Hey Ladies we have reached the big 1000 so I thought another thread needed to be started

viksam know what you mean bout feeling paranoid and anxious bout pregnancy, i couldnt wait to be pregnant now i worry bout everything. Regarding clothes shopping i went to new look and dorothy perkins. Debenhams, mothercare, top shop, next and h&m all do maternity wear. Hope that helps.

stac I have told them that I don't think the doc would necessarily consider them unusual for not conceiving this quick but I know it must be hell being disappointed every month. They are really happy for me though and said if I ever need a babysitter just ask which is very kind of them.

tish my niece is the exact same, gutted about her mc but still said she wants to babysit but at the same time she admits shes still jealous. Its just an unfortunate whats happened. Anyway hows you today?

you guys really have me thinking today... My close colleague and i were only 3 weeks apart with my last pregnancy. It was so hard when I mc, i think i realised it was as hard for her to be around me as it was for me to be around her however i was consumed with when her lo was born. i was so ashamed of myself for feeling that way and now realise she was feeling guilty for feeling happy! it makes me feel so bad that she deliberately did't tell me things or show just how happy she was, but at the same time i think she did me a favour as i'm not sure i was strong enough to be truely happy for her.
I'm sitting here crying remembering how hard it was. Oh... us females and our hormones!!! Anyway her LO is perfect in every way and i am truely happy for her now and we will have our turn this time

becky it is completely natural to feel the way you did. When pregnant with ds my sil had a mc (my nieces mum) and i kept trying to avoid her eventually she cornered me and made me realise she was still happy to be getting a niece or nephew. After that i included her as much as i could, with my niece though, i don't think its the same. So i am keeping my distance till she is ready. Hope your not too upset, these hormones have a lot to answer for lol

Talk about hormones, I watched an episode of ER and sobbed my heart out, then watched the news about Haiti and they were showing orphaned, injured children and I sobbed my heart out again, then they had a organ donation advert and...yep, out came the hankies! I'm not usually a teary person but today's obviously a special day...
On the bright side, second day in a row of only feeling nauseous but not actually sick Although now I've said it I've probably jinxed it

Thanks Stac, tears all dried up now! lol!think i was blubbing about the past but like you say, its totally natural and we all deal with things in different ways.
I don't envy your situation with your niece, it sounds really difficult esp when similar happened with her mum. She is lucky to have such a thoughtful and considerate aunty! she'll come round in her own time and i'm sure will enjoy having a little cousin soon!

Chulita think we all need to get shares in the tissue companies!!! its like a weak valve ready to explode at any time, just the slightest pull on the heart strings and we are off!!! - hope you stay sickness free for rest of the day now!

becky I think you're quite brave to talk about your mc. One of my friends mc'd a few weeks ago and she hasn't mentioned it at all, it's probably still too raw for her but I'm not quite sure what to say to her.

One of my collegues announced her pregnancy the same date I would have announced my last one if I hadn't mc'd... so basically 2 weeks after my MC... I didn't take it well! But the colleague never knew..

It is very hard for everyone who has went through such a loss and as chulita says your all very brave to talk about it, luckily we are all now in the situation were we will have lovely bundle of joy in July

chulita Hope thats your ms left you hun, its just the nausea I have but its the one thing I really hate is feeling sick, puts me off eating so really struggling at the moment. My cousin was the same and they eventually gave her anti sickness meds, dont really want to take anything though.

So who's the first for the 20 week scan? Mine is still 5 weeks away but cant wait to see LO again

Oh i am so excited about getting to see LO at 20 week scan and then for real in july!!!

Mine is on 22nd feb - 4 weeks and 6 days!!! or 34 days to be precise!!!

I really don't think we will have another scan after that, just wait for the big day!

My friend had a go at me about swine flu jag yesterday- is anyone else in situ of not had it yet but still considering it? i'm thinking i wi'll ask for it just before 3rd trimester. I wonder if they will still have supplies of the vaccine by then?

My 20 week scan seems so far away from everyone elses its not til 2nd March and I really want to see LO now!

Told my friend today about the baby she had no idea and was quite shocked but really happy for me

I'm not having the swine flu jab and neither will DD but we live in the boonies so there's not much of it around. I'm currently in the 'when to give DD the MMR?' dilemma so can't face swine flu debates too! [overwhelmed pregnant chulita emoticon]

Im not having the swine flu jab either it just never crossed my mind to want it. Dont really see it necessary and its just a risk i dont want to takeand theres not much of it round where I live either.

DS had the MMR just before Xmas but so was happy with that as all the 'research' about links with autism have now been proven to be tosh. SW jab's a different league though - I don't agree there's enough research to make me happy to expose my unborn child to it so I've decided not to have it. Hard to decide whether to get ds vaccinated or not though but I guess that's another thread!

We're definitely going to give DD the MMR, it's just at what age to get it. I know the government says it's safe but I'm not convinced after something a bit shady happened to a friend of mine so I'm just researching it - but that's just my paranoia showing through I suppose!
I haven't got a date yet for the 20 week so for all of you that have!

Tish my 20 week scan is not until 8th March - when I'll actually be 21 weeks...!

Yes SW jab is a difficult one. I have decided that the kids and I won't be having it - none of us have any 'health issues' and in reality you can die from normal flu but we wouldn't be vacinated against that! Guess it comes down to individual choice.

Becky from what I heard on the news they had piles of SW vaccines left, as not as many people are having it as they thought would - so I wouldn't think they will run out!

my 20 week scan is 1st march which seems ages away but suppose its not really. chulita how many weeks are you? I had to phone up and make my 20 week scan appointment the day after my 12 week scan

Regarding the swine flu jag I have decided against it at the moment especially since I heard the doctors receptionist who is also pg say she isnt taking it. Also step DS and mil got thiers and were really sick on it, think thats something I could do without at the moment lol. Also I am classed as low risk (not many cases in my area) not working at the mo and dont use public transport very often so I will take my chances. Does anyone know if the immunity goes through to the baby?

I got DS his mmr when he was about 2 during the time all the controversy was going on. He is absolutely fine. A friend I went to college with thought the mmr was responsible for her sons dispraxia and other learning disabilities and later found it, it was bad mix of genes between her and his dad. Suppose its personal choice and who knows maybe holding off a few months is a good idea.

I think I win as I don't even have a 20-week scan appointment yet - I haven't even had my nuchal scan (it's on Thursday!). I'll be 20 weeks on 7 March so hopefully I'll get a scan date sometime around then.

Went for lunch with a colleague today - had planned to meet anyway as I wanted to tell her I was pg (she has an 18 month old and we have talked babies lots!) - but I heard from someone else this morning that she is also pregnant! She's due on 14 June so about 6 weeks ahead of me, though I swear my bump is bigger. Anyway it was lovely to talk pregnancy and babies and know there's someone else at work going through the same thing.

I'm 13+4, I thought I had to phone up but no one told me anything...never mind, I'll wait til I'm 19 odd weeks and then ring the MW and panic

my friend is pg but is exactly 6 weeks behind me so she tends to be looking for advice but its great to chat about babies, another friend is quite jealous just now as her dd is 7month and she is missing the excitement surrounding pregnancy. She did say she doesnt miss being pregnant though lol

yay love the fact we're all opening our hearts like lotus flowers! tbh though I found the yoga breathing really useful in labour...

Still no sign of my 20 wk scan appt, am now 17 wks. MW says to ring her next week if still no sign of it argh! Need to organise the husband so he can be there!

re the swine flu jab, I was going to wait til 20 wks to have it but I think the risk has passed now hasn't it? The gvt have been trying to sell the vaccine back to gsk so I don't know whether it's worth it now. I'm open to suggestion tho

hi everyone! dont thnk i will bother with swine flu jab as haven't really heard much about it lately! the big hype around it has passed and haent heard of anyone dying from it or getting it in ireland recently.
the hormones are mntal aren't they! i started crying yesterday cos the dog peed all over my hairdressing bag! lol!
my cold has finally passed! yay! feeling human now again!
evry1 getting their 2 weeks scans so soon!very jealous as mines not til 10th march when i think il be 24 or 25 weeks! oh well just hav t deal with it but really excited about it already! going on holidays in 3 weeks so that'll break up the wait.have that to look forward to first! yay!
cant wait to feel movemet either.thought i felt somethng last week but now im not so sure cos haven't felt anything since!
very happy for all of u who's ms has gone. fingers crossed it stays gone! any1 feeling the burst of energy yet?
getting my bikini wax 2moro and so nervous! havent had it done since i was 8 or 9 weeks and it was killer compared to normal!

I might get my 20 week scan first...my midwife told me you can have it anytime from 18 weeks, so I can phone up and make the appontment for around the 11th Feb - I'll be 18 wks according to my EDD then. I am definitley finding out the gender - too impatient to wait til July! Everyone else finding out or not?

not finding out here! we quite like the surprise

had my bikini wax yesterday and it bloody hurt! I'm going to keep it up tho since my skin is quite sensitive at the mo and I don't think immac is going to do me any good!
