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

wow essay!!!

Nymph you just reminded me - I was in Boots getting a prescription filled and explained that I didn't have my certificate yet and they just waived the fee! I was gobsmacked! Worth a try?

Nymph Same thing happened to me at the dentist, they didn't need to see my card and just waived the fee.

I'd be delighted to have twins! Does my ancient age help then? (I'm 35!). There are twins on both sides of DH's family, but none on mine. Would obviously be delighted with one too, but twins would speed up the process of having a bigger family (we'd like three), and like I said, I'm 35, so haven't got years. Triplets would be nice!

So, for those NOT wanting twins, send all your vibes my way please, and we'll see if we can do a deal! Got my scan date through today - 25th March, so I'll let you know then!

They won't I tried last time, they said to try & claim it back.

lilmiss I'm not getting it til the midwife appt when I'll be 13.3.

I'm going to raise it with the GP as I think its shit. We'll not give you a card in case you miscarry and then we can save some money. TBH I think if a woman miscarries they should have a bit of free stuff for a while after too.

Nymph that's rubbish, I hope you get some progress.

Ok, AbFabT very good of you to volunteer, you may be the twinmummy! Or the tripletmummy!
Let us know how the scan goes!

I forgot to give you my latest dream installment.

Chris Moyles [again but without the sparkly lips] , Brown Owl and John Simm all on a road trip together on bikes [BLOODY Sport relief] and they all came into my office looking for the sandwich lady [we don't have one but I want one]

But no one has found Frodo

I also had another dream that dh woke me up from because I was sobbing hysterically I remember a bit when he had left me and my Mam kept laughing at me asking why.

Ooh I kind of wish I'd had twins when I had my ds. I'd just love two of him, and it'd save all this 'being pregnant' trouble and stress!

Thanks for sharing your experience lilmissmummy, in relation to gilpy's and mumofe's feelings. I'm a bit worried along those lines too - desperately want another baby, but I'm just not feeling (oh this feels awful to say) but I'm not feeling the attachment I felt to my bump that I did the first time with ds. I was so naive when I had him, that fear of mc didn't cross my mind and I felt such unrestrained joy and excitement, and this time I'm worried that I'm so detached that I'll never feel the same. Good to hear that it can be restored later on after a rocky start.

I've got my second scan tmw morning as I had an early one three weeks ago. Am anxious (it's been missed mcs in the past year so I just don't know until they look) and keep snapping at poor dh over silly things, feel guilty but think he understands. Sorry for a long ramble - not speaking to anyone in RL about this so it's very therapeutic on here, thank you!

Good luck Hermya for your EPAU scan x

Girls, I can't keep up lol! Nice to see loads of posts.

PFJ, so sorry. I had an ectopic last year, sept. I am back here now, there is hope. I know it hurts like hell, give youself time. We are here if you need us. xxxxxx

I am off with work for 2 days and I feel already I am likely to miss something so for those feeling rough I send anti-nausea vibes left right and centre!

Catch you at the weekend... why doesn't it start on Tuesdays?

Breaking news!!
My sil gave birth last night at 11:50pm after being admitted at 5pm. She had some rough moments but is fine now and is already home. So I am now the chuffed auntie of Emma Isabella (7pounds 5 oz) and the cutest baby since my nephew was born. I have already visited and holding little Emma really brought home to me what we have embarked upon. I am even more excited now!
With regards to twins, don't think it is me because there was only one sac on both scans. Wouldn't mind twins though. Funnily enough, dh has always thought he would have twin girls, so watch this space!!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!!! Thats fantastic!!!

As I type this my DS is rubbing my back in bed :-).

Shieldbug that's lovely news. Congrats auntie!

Thanks lilmiss and ooseabeauta for your encouraging words and I know that you are right, as I felt pretty negative about my 2nd pregnancy [although not as much as this one as I knew I definitely wanted two DC] and that turned out well I can't imagine life without either of my DC and would be afraid that I will feel any different about the 3rd, but this is not what I wanted right now but that is the hand I have been dealt. Look forward to many chats on here. Congrats to shiledbug on becoming an auntie again

Congrats Sheildbug

I have been so tired today. I went to bed at lunchtime & set the alarm for me to pick the dd1 up from school. I dragged myself though town still so incredibly tired to remember both had after school club not just one friend took pity on me & gave me a lift home but Ihave to go back soon I'm so tired.

dds are going to their Dads so I can go back to bed once they go & dh should be home by the time they come back.

Well I'm back from the EPU, everythings fine. I have a little jellybean with a flickery heartbeat. They've told me to keep an eye on things and get in touch if anything else goes a bit Pete Tongue.

Hermya321 thats fantastic news!! How many weeks are you now?

I'm 9weeks + ???days and have my first MW appt tomorrow. Really nervous as have lost all confidence on this pregnancy (couples with a bad day anyway I guess) and I don't know if she will be able to hear a heart beat that early or if I'm going to have to wait until 14 weeks scan - after 2mcs I'm really not enjoying this trimester - every tweak or twinge makes me paranoid!

Nymphadora I hope you start feeling more energised soon - hopefully it will passs when the second trimester starts

hermya I am so so pleased it was good news! Thats lovely.

I have my scan date now, 24th March, I'll be 11 weeks then so its a bit earlier than I expected. I really can't wait, maybe its superstitious but I don't dare get properly excited until the scan. I think I am also focussing on it because there is so little going on in my life at the moment, I am too ill for work or uni or socialising still That said, my morning sickness is now in a patter of one very bad day and then one pretty much ok day, so things are improving from bad day every day. Has anyone else got it coming and going like this?

SeaShells really hope you get to hear a heartbeat tomorrow, waiting till 14 weeks for the scan must feel such a long way away.

nymphadora sorry you're having such a bad day, glad you've got a nice friend though , I hope tomorrow brings more energy

oh and sheildbug that's lovely news! I'm so pleased it all went well and its also a nice reminder of what all this sickness is for

Seashells They measured me as 7w+1 which is about right with the dates I've had from fertility friend. Could you ask to be referred to the EPU as you've had two previous mc?

hi ladies can i join you here? i'm unsure of my due date until i get a dating scan but i'm due between the 30th of october and 5th november. i think i'm 6+5 going on the date of my last period.

this will be my first baby but i've had 2 previous mc just praying this one doesnt end in the same was as i'm not sure i could cope with that. i think i recognise some of you from the bus's so hi

hermya glad it went well at the epu.
seashells dont give up just yet, as hermya says ask about being referred to the epu, i have an open referral if i feel anything is going wrong i just have to phone my doctors surgery who will ring them to let me know i'm on my way.

Seashells, we are 9+5 - we are both currently due on the same date. I also have my first m/w appointment tomorrow - can't wait! I've got my scan in two weeks, bang on the 12-week mark. Think I'd go nuts having to wait 'til the 14-week point.

I'm having a slight panic as I haven't got any symptoms - no sickess or anything.

AbFabT - I'm 9+5 too

I thought my ms was easing as not been too bad the last 2 days, then today I'm feeling really bad again! I always feel worse when I work in the office (I'm a trainer so usually out and about or working at home) and I think it is because I stress about everyone watching how much I'm eating, and me struggling to squeeze my massive chest in to my coat!

I had a meeting with my boss today and decided to tell him, as that was making me anxious too! He was really nice about it which made it much easier!

Xh just said to me are you ok? I must look rough

Helloooo, jennimoo!

I haven't been eating extra either - I've always had quite a healthy appetite, so maybe that's why, but I just don't feel much different. I think I'm possibly a bit emotional though - crying at TV shows and stuff, but other than that, not really.

Glad the meeting with your boss went well. I hope to tell mine next week, after we've told my DH's parents and my brothers.

Does everyone get decent maternity leave/pay? I am quite happy with mine. Don't really wish to actually go back to work afterwards, but will consider nearer the time being able to work from home, possibly.
