The October Baby Bus

[arabella36]

Will anyone join a new baby bus with me?

I just got a BFP this morning so its very early days for me, but I'm so excited I thought what the hell, I'll head straight for the pregnancy thread anyway

If all goes according to plan this will be DC2 and due on 2nd October. Ive enjoyed being on the October TTC bus so I thought it would be fun to continue over here.

congrats emmazed and onoffon! i've just been trying on trousers (much needed for work) and i can't get into a 12!!!! what's that all about?!!!! i'm only, almost, 6wks! figure H&M must have decreased their sizes?... also, does anyone else still have white CM??

Sunface, all my clothes feel tighter too I sat and cried yesterday because my button on my only pair of jeans wouldn't meet and everything else was in the wash!

I also have plenty of white CM. I waas going to come here and ask but seems I am normal!

Still have an ache low down in my belly. Today it feels different to the other days? Much stronger so I'm a little concerned about that.

phew thanks lovely bunch. guess it is my 3rd and i'm older and no where near as slim as i was with my other 2...... that's also a relief about the CM! Not too sure why it's still there though or if it means anything? Sure the pain in your tummy might just be the bean settling in?

I've had the pain for a good week or two now. Just a dull ache low down. But today it is stronger and only there if I walk or stand.

Anyone else scared to sneeze!?

Apparently the stomach pains are your uterus expanding (which is also why your jeans stop fitting!)

Don't have the white CM though, only clear

I do have incredibly dry lips at the moment, am having to constantly use lip balm which I never normally have to.

Do you think we should start a stats list over on the 'antenatal clubs' board? Then we can keep track of who has hopped on the bus and when everyone's due?

heehee lovelybunch, i have been blocked up and sniffly for the whole of january and had a really really sore tummy when i sneezed yesterday - totally panicked of course!!! And now paranoid to fully sneeze again! Good idea onoffon about the antenatal thread, no idea how to go about it though! and (again!) totally paranoid that it's too early, but that's just me - just ignore me! :)

I'm also a little bit nervous to... ahem... poo. And to have sex. Grr I'm so silly!

Lovelybunch I know what u mean. i'm avoiding sex for now since i had early mc last June n i'm not chancing it this early. luckily DH is of the same mind... for now! Prob wouldn't make any difference but i'm erring on the side of caution. No surprise there then! ha ha

teehee you're not alone lovelybunch!

Just out of interest, sunface, re the blocked up nose. apparently the messaging from brain to uterus to expand the lining also get sent accidentally to the nasal lining causing this symptom. Had this with all three PG's so far!

It's not the sex that worries me, it's the sperm going in and swishing around in there.

They say sperm has a chemical which can induce labour so what if it induces early labour ie. a mc?

Please tell me to shut up if I'm talking shit

ah thanks 'talkingtowalls' i did wonder! i 'm driving my DP nuts at night as i can only breath through my mouth! lovelybunch after 2 successful pregnancies and no abstaining from sex, all was well and no early labours at all - don't panic!! D'you Tamashii, i am tempted to avoid sex for the moment too, due to my early MC last year - you didn't hear that lovelybunch!!! all will be fine with you and its not sex that brings on a potential MC! :)

I have had 2 mcs though sunface and have a bicornuate uterus so I may abstain till after first scan if I get that far.

I think I need to be safe in the knowledge that if things do go wrong then nothing I did would have made a difference. Even though I know nothing I do will make a difference I know I will blame myself IYSWIM.

Crazy, moi? Never!

oh i'm so sorry lovelybunch, i didn't realise
:( You're doing the right thing then, whatever makes you less anxious and worried. no wonder you are worried. Here's hoping all goes well for you this time. xx

i've made a Drs appointment for next monday so we'll see what happens then in terms of scans etc....

My appointment is tomorrow.

That's ok sunface. They were a long time ago but still makes me nervous. Have been trying to conceive this one for a year and got a PCOS diagnosis in November after five years of problems so this is a long awaited baby.

I am trying to be calm and if it goes wrong it wasn't meant to be :)

Good luck for Monday.

oh good luck tomorrow lady, i'll keep everything crossed x

So blood tests are done. Am now stupidly worried that they'll say I'm not pregnant . Results available tomorrow evening.

Have registered with the hospital too - at least, I've pre-registered and am waiting for confirmation.

DH was last night when I said all that I'd been doing and that once we have the results there is nothing to do until March 21st! He doesn't want to wait that long

I thought the 2ww would be the worst. Now am thinking of changing that to be the 2mw (2 month wait) between getting a BFP and doing the scan...

I'm sure once that is done I'll find something else to be impatient about!

So we're all once again waiting and waiting and waiting....

Cheers fluffy Got anything with no choccy on!?

I'm considering asking for a scan when I go tomorrow. Would it be too early?

I have no idea how pregnant I actually am. So if anyone can shed some light it will be greatly appreciated.

LMP - 6th December

• OPK - 11th/12th January
• HPT - 25th January.

I have PCOS so very irregular cycles.

No chocolate?

No idea about scans being too early or not. I was just told to book it on March 21st and did so (good little girl emoticon)

BTW last period for me = 27 dec

Can't help with how pregnant you are though!

Dammit. The doc will have me at 8 weeks going by LMP but it is exactly three weeks from ovualtion tomorrow. So perhaps I just stick 2 weeks onto that and make it 5 weeks

And no, chocolate makes me feel sick at the minute. Bleurgh!

Lucky you

I currently have no symptoms and have never felt sick once. Am "only" 5 weeks but it would be reassuring

According to my pregnancy book the international norms measure your pregnancy based on the first day of your last period. Then they calculate your due day. However when you have a scan they can measure stuff - not sure what - and adjust due date.

In theory I'm a clear cut case. Period 5 weeks ago, ovulated 2 weeks after period, however gyne just said I'm due "first week in October"

Lovelybunch this due date calulator works on ovulation date as well as LMP. in your shoes I would work it out at 2 weels before you ovulated IME scans are not as accurate both mine have been 2 weeks out.

fluffydonkey I completely agree about the waiting!

So pleased when this month's 2ww had a good result, but waiting two months - and trying not to get too excited - its impossible

Am really tempted to pay for an early scan. Have never been very good at being patient and am terrible for spending money if it gets things done quicker.
