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 Grin

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.

I have started a stats thread over on antenatal - please add yourselves (I feel the need to be organised!) Grin

Gosh all this talk about abstaining from sex - I have to say that since I conceived sex has never even crossed my mind once! No interest whatsoever. Luckily I am married to the least libidinous man on earth, who has to prodded up the stairs to the bedroom if I ever want any.

Interesting to read the talk about parents being concerned over non-married state. We phoned DH's parents to tell them the good news and they were quite shocked. Even though they'd not long ago been to stay with us to help us buy a car which would fit car seats, me making lots of comments about wanting babies soon etc. etc. Nevermind the fact we've been married for more than three years - they are concerned because we don't own a house! Honestly, they are so boring and conventional they make me roll my eyes. We're very happy in our rented place, both earn money, have a good deposit ready and waiting for a more friendly first-time-buyer market - and they are concerned about our lack of stability. Grr.

Sorry, rant over. DH told me off last night for being a bit grumpy and dictatorial. Must be the hormones. Anyone else?

soundofherwings · 01/02/2011 17:32

I'm super grumpy too- seems to come and go but yesterday I was snapping DH's head off for everything, then was so tired I dropped my dinner all over the floor and burst into tears! He came in to find me sobbing and covered in pasta. Obviously pregnancy hormones are making me sligtly crazy.

onoffon · 01/02/2011 17:49

Molybdenum I said to DH we should tell his parents when we see then at the weekend. He's really worried because he thinks they'll be shocked - even though he's just turned 30, we've been together for 7 years (married for 3), own our own home, are financially solvent, and I'm about to move my job to be more based from home Hmm

Siru · 01/02/2011 19:11

Hi all and congrats for all of you! I found out on Friday, I started testing 3 days before I was due... :D

I had an early MC last August with my first baby and we've been trying ever since. These five months have felt sooooo long but we managed on our honeymoon. Haha!

Now I can only hope that this one sticks. Ah yes, I'm 38 in March so not too much time to spare anymore. :)

LDNmummy · 01/02/2011 19:41

Hey everyone!

Relatively new to MN, have only been a contributer for a couple of weeks and its been keeping me from insanity while stuck at home with morning sickness.

Found out last Friday, concieved first try so super thrilled but anxious as this will be my first. Tested 5 days before that and the line was so faint my DP wouldn't believe it till he saw the next one. I think he didn't want me to get my hopes up.

Now I'm just hoping everything stays on course and we get a healthy little girl. DP comes from a family of men so I think he wants a little girly to dote on and I don't mind.

I'm 24 BTW and my symptoms are the usual, nausea, sore boobs (especially in the cold) and super emotional, I keep crying at everything or getting really angry at my DP, poor guy.

Have told DP's mum as we really want her to be a part of this even if something goes wrong.

Congrats to all and best wishes!!

BuffyFairy · 01/02/2011 23:22

Congrats Siru and LDNmummy!

LovelyBunch I ovulated on the 10th Jan and my doc gave me a due date of the 3rd Oct so i'd think you're probably a couple of days after. He even lied about my LMP on the antenatal booking in form so they didn't give me a too early date! I have irregular periods too but had been monitoring everything down to SWI being in the diary.

Fluffy thanks for the choc biscuits. Glad you have no symptoms as well as me, I was beginning to worry on that front, everyone else seems to have sore boobs at the least.

When is morning sickness meant to start?

onoffon · 02/02/2011 07:18

Time for me to say goodbye Sad

Had terrible stomach cramps last night and some bleeding, re-tested this morning and got two negatives (Inc a digital). So looks like it was a chemical pregnancy.

Looks like it's back to TTC for me. Really hope it doesn't take another year.

Good luck everyone, wishing you safe and healthy pregnancies.

Penelope1980 · 02/02/2011 07:26

onoffon I am so sorry to hear that

Penelope1980 · 02/02/2011 07:29

BuffyFairy I don't have sore boobs either! Every now and them I give them a few prods to see if they're sore, but if they are it's just from the prodding.

I am grumpy though, and feeling a little sicker each day. Not vomiting, but not quite right. I hope the grumpy bit passes though, got unreasonably mad at a woman talking loudly near me in a cafe for no reason as my bad temper is not rational.

Sorry onoffon and Wishing you good luck for next month:(

In other news, I like Penelope am getting more nauseous. Hoping it's only going to be average sickness! HG would be hellish

Sorry ONoffon wishing you the best of luck for next month Sad

FluffyDonkey · 02/02/2011 08:24

So sorry onoffon Sad that's really crap.

BuffyFairy (great name!) - yup I don't have sore boobs either despite prodding them every so often Blush . Get my blood test results this evening - I'm really hoping they say I'm pregnant so I can put my mind to rest about lack of symptoms!

My mum said to me last night that it's very early to have symptoms. She had crippling morning sickness with me Blush but not until week 6 or 7 (yay! something to look forward to!)

Hils74 · 02/02/2011 08:31

Sorry onoffon, good luck next month

I haven't had any further symptoms, but still seem to have some irregular bleeding, more than just spotting, so got an app with the gp this afternoon. Fx its my fibroid or nothing too serious, but I can't help but panic. DP wanted to stay home and stop me worrying too much but his boss is an arse so he's had to go in :(

Did another test this morning, just to make sure, and the cb digi still says 1-2 weeks, surely it should have moved on by now?

Penelope1980 · 02/02/2011 09:11

Hils74 I hope it's nothing too serious!

FluffyDonkey hope the blood test is positve as well.

As someone said yesterday, the waiting is one of the hardest parts of this early pregnancy gig! [eats choccy bikkies and victoria sponge passed around yesterday even if they are now 12 hours old]

CrawlingInMySkin · 02/02/2011 11:19

I am finding it hard to keep from DS age 5 he randomly attacks, nagging for me to have another baby because he likes being a big brother and playing with his sister. I had 30 minutes of him trying to talk me into having another last night Smile but I am going to keep it from him till 5 months if possible at least 12 weeks.

The poor woman in Tescos the other day was also subjected to this when he spotted she had twins. He said 'That is not fair you have two babies and I only have one but I keep asking my mummy for another baby' luckily she thought it was funny Grin

sunface · 02/02/2011 11:31

it's going to be hard not telling people isn't it? i'm wishing the next 2 months away .. does anyone know, re the 12wk scan, if they scan you 12wks from your last AF? I can't remember from my other times....

Tamashii · 02/02/2011 11:43

So sorry onoffon take care of yourself (hugs)

Good luck this arvo Hils hope it's nothing. Fx for you.

Hi sunface I think it's 12 weeks from date of last AF same as they date your PG but we never seem to get our 12 week scans on time here due to shortage of sonographers in our local council area. Seems an age away doesn't it?

snowpeas · 02/02/2011 12:11

Morning all

Well our secret is out, DH confessesd to accidently telling the whole staff room at work, apparantly they were talking about cars and without thinking he just said that we could do with changing our car to make it easier to get the baby seat in! He says he realised as soon as he said it and he thought he had got away with it until about a minute later when his collegue asked 'what baby seat?'

To be honest I'm not surprised as he is useless at keeping secrets, (I always know what I'm getting for Christmas) and I don't really mind. We have decided to tell my parents tonight Confused

SazzyM · 02/02/2011 12:50

Hello Hello - First time poster, hope it's ok just to dive in here?! I went to the doc this morning to confirm 1st pregnancy.

Am about 5 weeks and beyond excited about the whole thing and more than a little nervy.

Pretty surprised to be preggers after a horrific mynomectamy (or somesuch spelling) in Aug last year to remove a ginormous fibroid. Thought my womb would be all rubbish after the monster got scrapped out - but yay, it works!!

sunface · 02/02/2011 12:53

congratulatoins Sazzy and welcome on board!

snowpeas woops to your DH letting the cat out of the bag! don't think i'll have that problem with mine as he's still in a daze i think and a bit like me, in limbo until the next few weeks are out of the way and all seems ok... Good luck with telling your parents, sure they'll be delighted with prospect of another grandchild?

ALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 02/02/2011 13:30

Hi all, have been to my GP. She has referred me to my hospital of choice and I have laft a message for the MW for my booking in appointment. The GP thinks I am between 7 and 11 weeks as she must go by the LMP date HmmConfused

sunface · 02/02/2011 13:45
