Due October 2010 - anyone else??

[loueytbg]

I got a very faint BFP last night and a really nice pink line this morning This will be my third baby, but 2nd pregnancy - I had twins first time round and I'm really hoping for just the one this time.

Due date is 2th October by ovulation date and 6th October by LMP - I'm going with the early date at the moment although I'm sure the NHS will change it to the later one.

I feel as sick as a dog and have nearly puked already which doesn't bode well for the next few weeks. God know how I'm going to keep it quiet.

Right I'm off to buy some more tests to pee on

Hello everyone

Sorry, Charncoco, for your news

I've got another scan on Monday (when I should be 8 wks) as the one I had the other week made the baby look small for dates (I don't think it was, it's just my dates are out due to crazy cycle).

Went over to other October thread on pregnancy section and said about this one and they haven't been particularly friendly, and I know it's daft but it has upset me a bit. I am not usually a wuss. Must be being up the duff.

This pregnancy is going sooooo slowly . I am still only 5+4.

I have a borderline underactive thyroid which is being investigated at the moment - third round of blood tests, the GP thought it not worth treating, the doctor at Guys fertility unit said yes do, and in the middle of it all I got pregnant unexpectedly

Anyway, I scared myself witless googling today so am going to the GP first thing

Anyone else thirsty? If I'm not peeing, I'm necking more water than I would normally.
I feel like a camel stocking up for a cross-desert trek.

Yes, raging thirst here. Breathlessness too, a bit (apparently due to a progesterone surge)

Charnoco - so sorry you are going through this. Have my fingers crossed your blood tests just show its a bleed and not a mc.

Hello and congratulations to all the newbies [waving]. I've missed loads but in my defence I've had the week from hell.

I got a migraine last Fri/Sat which was starting to ease and then DTs threw up within 5 mins of each other and DS1 carried on puking all night (poor mite - 10x in total). I then got it on Sunday and have felt wretched all week. On top of that, ms is at its peak so for a while I couldn't work out if I was throwing up from the bug or from just being pg. Tried to eat some dinner last night and it all came back up. Have bought ginger stuff but ate some biccies and they stayed down for about 10 mins. I've bought the cordial (can't remember who recommended it) but can't face it just yet. Anyway, today has been much better so I think I'm through the worst.

Oh and GP has faxed the pg details to the wrong hospital so I have now an appt for a scan and booking in appt at the wrong place. Hopefully it will get sorted soon.

On the plus side, I've lost 3lbs and its certainly taken my mind off the impending scan (on Monday - same as you LadyT). I'm now 7+5 and hoping that ms doesn't get any worse....

Sorry for the mini-rant - think I needed to get it off my chest.

Pookey - sorry you didn't get a very positive reaction from your family, they will come round. Am slightly nervous too as its our 3rd.

MummyWilliams - can understand why you waited to post but I'm sure lightning won't strike twice. The fact that you've already had a good scan means your risk of mc drops dramatically.

Tired Feet - I would use antibiotic excuse too. They might suspect but prob won't be bold enough to ask.

Picc - hope you are enjoying the skiing

sorry I have just gate crashed your thread.I was on the 09 october thread and now have a 5 month old which you will all have this time next year

I have read a few of you posts.Just to let you know I had a heavenly time with baby no.3.I knew what i was doing and it was a wonderful time (still is) I am now a little stretched with baby no.4 but things are getting easier.

Good luck ladies enjoy the journey as much as you can,you wont be pregnant for ever!

Ps I love keeping up with our post natal thread.MN has been a great support throughout my pregnancy, birth and beyond.

gush over.

Thanks for the welcome, especially from my fellow october bus MNers.

louey, sorry that you and your Dc's have been so poorly, it must have been a tough week for you.

That's a lovely post Fidelma, seems strange to think of this time next year.

Tattycoram, I had a friend in a similar position to you, afaik, it just meant extra check ups and medication. Hope you get some answers from the Docs.

LadyThompson and Delilah, I have been a little thirstier than usual as well, but I think that is because I am going to the toilet so much. I didn't have this with my last pregnancy, except at the end, so it has come as a bit of a shock. I am happy to keep this symptom instead of the morning sickness I had last time though, so fingers crossed

Good luck to all of you with early scans.

Yes i saw the other thread too LadyT, don't worry about it, I'm sure October can support 2 threads for now. It is a shame we aren't all on the same thread but you have made our presence known and you can do no more.

FWIW if it was the other way round, i don't suppose i would be too keen to move over to a new thread either - am just getting to know everyone one here!

hi everyone, just an update for you.....so we're a bit further on but not much. had hcg monitored went from 525 to 425 in 48 hours so they still haven't confirmed anything and i gotta go back and have another set of bloods done today sigh they say its not dropping fast enough so not sure what they'll propose next. i guess i keep wishing i'm one of the 30,000 pregnancies that has vanishing twin syndrome lol but i'm pretty sure thats not the case....just a bit of hope, and we all have to have hope hey? false hope is better than no hope i guess? speak soon ladies, hope you're all ok

Well I had my first midwife appointment this week, and it wasn't the booking in one! She just checked a few details, took my blood pressure and checked I knew what to eat/not eat! I am booked in in two weeks when I'll be nearly 9 weeks for her to come to the house and do all the taking of histories and blood.

I have a house full this weekend, friends are visiting for a local beer festival. I knew I wouldn't be going weeks ago when I bought the tickets, so have organised it all only to not be going! I don't think I will be able to stop them guessing why I'm not going, especially as I am feeling pretty sick, and so won't stress about it. I will try to get them to keep quiet til I have the scan at 8 weeks (only 6 days!) as if there is a heart beat then I think we're pretty safe.

Anyone else got busy weekends planned?

Charncoco - sorry, wasn't ignoring you, must have cross posted! Am thinking of you and hope all works out. x

Oooh,so many of you have had or are about to have your first appointments, I am only 5+3 so thought I would wait a while before phoning surgery. Perhaps I will phone them today as maybe I need to get up to speed. I last went through this 3 years ago, so my mind is a total blank as to when to notify doctor etc. I still have no symptoms really so would like the reassurance of seeing gp/midwife. Hope everyone is well today and happy, despite it being a grey and wet day!

Charncoco, there's definitely still hope. I am crossing everything for you. Good luck.

Jenni, I'm off to London tomorrow (I live in the country but still have a little flat there and will have the baby in London as well). Just tell your friends you have an awful bug - there are certainly a lot around....

KSal, re: the other thread, it's up to other people where they post, I just wish they hadn't been so dismissive and unfriendly - lots of that horrid passive aggressive Although I think I am being superoversensitive at the mo - damn hormones.

LadyT, I have just had a quick scan through the other thread and I have total sympathy with you and think you put your comments across very well. I first logged onto this site three years ago to use the antenatal thread for my due month and found my fellow 'expectees' good fun, supportive and easy to talk to. This time around I have joined the month club again for more of the same. Sometimes 'though threads do pop up in the perhaps incorrect/strangest of topic lists, but all you can do is mention a more suitable/helpful place which is what you did. Sit down, relax and have a biscuit!(ginger if preferred......)

Thank you I was worried I had done it all wrong and got people's backs up when I had no intention of doing so. I will stop fretting about daft things now.

charncoco thinking of you. Limbo is an unbearable place to be. Hope it all works out well. Fingers well and truly crossed.

Thanks loueytbg. Hope you're okay now. Had similar here. I have been feeling rotten every evening this week (hence why I thought I was getting MS in the afternoons/ evenings) and actually threw up the other night. But DS has also thrown up and everyone else here has "funny tummies". So maybe it's just that?

Am so glad other people talking about putting weight on (or redistributing it... or whatever )
I'm not exactly slender, but am not hugely overweight. But am already finding clothes aren't fitting right. I think I may be able to hide it for a while yet (I still have many loose-fitting clothes as I'm still carrying a bit of weight from DS).... think I might just look fat(ter) for a while.

MummyWilliams fingers crossed for you too. But glad you joined us

LadyThompson, am a bit at the other post, if they're being funny about there being 2 posts for October? Don't think I'll venture over there and read it. Sounds scary! Think I'll shelter here.....

aw... actually have just been brave and had a look. I think they'd all just 'got to know each other' there already, and seem to have bonded quite well....

I guess we'll all eventually merge in the "ohmygodihaveanewbabyandwhatthehelldoidonow' thread, come october!

LadyThompson, if it's any consolation, I found the other thread first, started reading, but when I got to your comments directing us over here, I posted in here instead! So you converted me, at least.

Really, as the other thread doesn't belong in the other section, the mods should take the decision to merge them. I'd really like it if we were all one large October thread. Seems like quite a lot of us - I'm new here, but I guess Mumsnet is just a popular and busy site. Or is October an extra-populated month!?

The October bus was huge but didn't have many graduates.

Thanks AbFabT [smeil] Well, I read in the paper the other day that late Sept/early Oct is quite a popular time to be born (all those Christmas/New Year conceptions!) so maybe that's why there are so many? I wonder if the mods will move them?

On our December 08 thread, there are probably 16 regular posters left and a few more less regular, but there were tons on there when we had our babies. However, I have such good friends there (who have gone on to be RL friends) and it really has been a godsend for me - I moved to the country from London when I had DD and it has been quite lonely!

I'm an April baby myself - always thought that was a popular month as nine months earlier is the height of summer lovin'! Guess it may depend on whether the previous summer was too darn hot, or sweet and balmy!

Hello,

I am pregnant for the 1st time and I am due 10th October so I think this is the right group for me

Got a few symptoms but thankfully no nausea and vomiting yet - hoping I've managed to be lucky and avoid this one?

Hope you're all well and looking forward to getting to know you all over the coming 9 months and possibly even beyond that

Are there any of you in London???

Following from LadyT and AbFabT....

I am an October baby, my due date, 10th Oct, is 4 days before my own birthday, 14th October....what are the chances of this child being exactly 4 days late and stealing my B-Day hey

constantly how unfair of your friend to do that. But I think you're probably right and if they gossip normally then it doesn't matter how much I ask them to keep this quiet they will probably still blab. as would love to be able to share with them. Going to make sure vitamin bottles / books etc are well hidden and see how good my acting skills (and vomiting quietly skills) are!!

pookey that is a very specific description your DH came up with . mine are hurting a lot to be fair so DH mainly has to look but not touch . Sorry your mum and sister reacted like that , but people can have all kinds of weird reactions when you announce your pregnancy, for reasons which are nothing to do with you really, if that makes sense? (like if they're broody, or found 3 too many or all kinds of other things), so try not to take it to heart.... I am dreading telling my parents as I think my dad will nag me about I should have got my career back on track first (had to quit my job as my boss was a really nasty bully), and my mum is very very judgemental and thinks she's some kind of supermother and no one else is as good as her! So I sort of know how sad it is to not get the positive reaction you would like to such exciting news. Maybe tell someone who you know will be excited and pleased for you?

charncoco I'm so sorry you are still waiting, I really hope there is good news at the end of this. I'm too new to all this to understand really what the hcg levels are all about, but it sounds like there is still hope so I will keep my fingers crossed for you

fidelma, that was a lovely post, thank you, a nice reminder of what is hopefully to come

I am feeling really quite poorly today, luckily its my day off (I really wanted to get a full time job before I got pregnant, but given how ill I am feeling I am actually relieved I didn't even though it means money is tighter, not sure I could cope at all). I am living on cream crackers and mint humbugs, its getting a bit boring! Although suddenly had a craving for a bacon sandwich yesterday so at least I got a bit of proper food inside me
