Mums to be due in May 2011

[emmywoo]

Hi everyone,
Thought I would start a thread for all us mums to be who are due in May 2011 so that we can support each other. xx

I would really like to know about this free dentist stuff too!! I had no idea that was an entitlement - been putting off going for about 2 years but no excuse now!

Taken day of work today as have really sore throat and headache etc, feel rough. Scared to take paracetamol even though I know I can! Drinking lots and sleeping - don't know what else to do. Feeling bit sorry for myself :(

Hi all,

For those of you that saw my posts last week, unfortunately I had a MC confirmed yesterday. Apparantly despite bleeding all week and passing some clots, it's all very much still there and hasn't really changed from my previous scan, just no heartbeat now. They've booked me in for the op next week.

I'm very sad, gutted and angry but I know it will get easier and I'll be OK.

Wishing you all the very very best and hopefully I'll be able to post on here again with some good news in the not too distant future.

Love to all!! Xxxxx

So sorry to hear your news FirstTimerMay :(

Keep smiling - hope to hear from you on here again soon
:)

so so sorry firsttimermay, hope everything goes well for you in the future

on the free dentist thing when you first see your midwife ask for the forms that u fill out for your free medical costs etc, and once youve sent them off u will get an nhs exemption card shortly thru the post which lasts for up to a year afta the birth :)

Wow - thats great! Thanks jbells :o

So so sorry firsttimermay, hope everything goes well for you in the future.

I think the sickness may be starting for me today as thought I wasa going to spew a few times! Been feeling sicky before but nothing like this. Keeping my head down on my desk today I think!

So sorry Firsttimermay - I'm thinking of you and feeling very sad for your loss. I've really enjoyed getting to know you on this thread over the last couple of weeks and will be rooting for you to have some happy news whenever you feel the time is right in the future.
(((())))))

hey ladies
good to have a catch up on here. so sorry to hear your news firsttimermay - hope the op goes well and you're back on the TTC bus soon xx

wonder if anyone else is struggling with a few crappy symptoms at the moment? haven't had much trouble with sickness yet, just a bit of nausea, but have had thrush since the weekend which is really getting me down! had it a couple of times in the past - just pop a pill and it goes straightaway. know i can't do that now, so i'm on the old natural yogurt (urgh). hope it clears up soon!

babyjanie- your welcome :) i feel like an old pro with these things now lol

suedehead- luckily i havnt had that many symptoms just slight nausea and xtreme tiredness and feeling very faint every time i stand up

Adding my name to the list - reckon I'm due around 28th May, waiting on my first appointment with the doctor (on 5th October).

Part of me wants to shout it from the rooftops but most of me knows it's a good idea to keep things quiet for he time being. So far I've told the husband and the doctor's receptionist (who was very sweet and wished me congratulations!)

This is my first, rather shocked to have managed it first time (we were expecting to get a bit more practice in first ). Minimal symptoms so far, just a bit over tired and sore boobs some days - in fact that was my first inkling that something was up as they never usually hurt! Oh, and I've already had to invest in bumper packs of prunes and dried figs - what a joy...

welcome to the group MSME

Oh my god, what a day. Talk about pregnant, tired and emotional! Had a terrible day at work, boss and her evil henchwoman have got it in for me and where I would normally nod and smile and then give them the vees behind their backs, today I felt my bottom lip go wobbly and went and spent 10 minutes howling in the loo. I haven't cried at work ever before! Then I got home and DH had a call from his parents saying that we see my parents more than them. Obv I burst into tears again. DH was great, assessed the situation and ordered a chinese takeaway, but still, what a day. I know it's silly to cry all the time and I never normally do but the fatigue has just hit me like a wall these last few days. Thank god for the weekend tomorrow! Sorry to rant! Anyone else sobbing at a moment's notice?! x

PS So sorry about your sad news FirstTimerMay. Good luck in the future, hopefully you'll be back here v soon xxx

yep me, been crying constantly lately, think the exhaustion doesnt help :(, the good new is it will pass in the next couple of months lol

I'm a big blubbery mess too!! The slightest thing gets me going. Today? Discovering the drain in the shower was blocked. Hmmm. Not really rational behaviour!

Hello everyone. I'm due May 11th with my 3rd. Had a miscarriage earlier this year, so not holding hopes too high for this one. Haven't made a Dr's appt yet as mc started last time on the evening of the day I saw the doc - felt like I tempted Fate.

Still, am feeling far worse than I did with either of my other 2 successful pgs, so maybe that's a sign this one will 'stick'. Nausea most of the day, which switches to indigestion in the evening, plus unbelievable tiredness. I'm not 100% committed to this pg either, as I have 2 wonderful children (4 and nearly 7), so there will be quite an age gap. Have really started getting my life back and enjoying my work. Plus am getting on a bit, so know this one will take it out of me. I did agree to have a 3rd, but was more because dh wanted one. Feel quite depressed, to be honest. I love being a mum and know that you never regret having a child, but I just feel that I will be the one who makes the greatest sacrifice with this one and my current juggling act will just become too overwhelming to manage.

Hey ho. Anyone else feel like me, or am I the only miserable cow?

tired and grumpy, i think your worries are very realistic ones, i know with my first pregnancy i definately didnt take into consideration how much my life wud change or how hard it would be and u are right i think the majority of the time it is the woman who makes the most sacrifices, i love my DD so much and she brings me so much joy and i always wanted a small age gap but i am very scared of how i will successfully juggle a 25 month and a new born, but we will and everybody manages, i know it will be hard work to begin with but in the long run it will be worth it when hopefully they grow up very close and playing together, i dont think 4 years is that big of an age gap they will still get along later, by the time there 22 and 18 the age gap will feel very small lol, im sure all the raging hormones arnt helping the way your feeling, chin up :)

ok, is it bad that I've just eaten half a box, box, not bag, of maltesers while Mumsnetting instead of either ironing or marking books during DS1s nap?

Hi all,

Can I join?
Found out last Friday in Morrisons toilets as POAS test +ve. Had been 48 days since last on, only reason I tried. Didn't believe it - OH and I were booked in for fertility appt as concieved due to irregular cycles after coming off pill. Anyway, did again and following day and were both same.

Dr thinks I'm over 7 weeks - (mid may) so does that mean the baby itself could be around 5 weeks? Not sure I understand the weeks counting as seems to change depending on who/where you look.

Also, after reading this thread am scared silly I'm not really PG - no symptoms except hunger pains - can't get enough food inside me and makes me nauseous to be hungry - can you get a false +ve? Might go and do another test now, but would love advice!

hey bluewellies no it wont be a false positive i have very few symptons just feel nauseus when im hungry really and more tired than usual everybody varies, u may just be one of the lucky ones whos body sails through pregnancy :) if it makes u feel better tho theres no harm in keeping testing i took 5 becuse lines were very faint, so then took a clearblue i thought u cant mistake that result either says pregnant or not pregnant
the weeks thing gets calculated from the first day of your last period altho u didnt conceive then thats where the dr will calculate your due date from and the sites that are telling you wots happening wk by wk do the same so if your researching work it out as 7 weeks less confusing

Hi all,

I've not been around much recently and it has taken me ages to catch up with the thread.

Really sorry to hear your sad news firsttimer.

I was feeling quite fit and well, despite wanting to eat monster munch crisps and being in bed at 8pm but yesterday the nausea crept up behind me and hit me with a cricket bat! I thought I was going to avoid it but no! I haven't actually been sick yet just lots and reflux and retching, TMI!

funnylittlekaty I am also blubbing at the drop of a hat and I think DH is beginning to wonder if this is going to last for another 7 months!

Looks like I'm not the only one blubbing for no reason then. Phew!

I'm 6 weeks and still feel the urge to test to see if really preggo. It was a shock getting preggo so quickie but now I'm more terrified of something going wrong. I obsess over every stomach cramp!

i think we will all end up obsessing untill we get the all clear at our first scans that seems like ages away

I am the same Vintage, I woke up in a panic remembering I should have run out of folic acid by now and still got 2 left so means I missed a few days some where; that made me cry!

And also got pregnant very quickly. After I had the Mirena Coil removed I went on the pill for a month had one 'show' and then stopped pill and preggo straight away so that means I didnt have a 'proper' AF so does my bean have enough to live on?
