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.

:)

Last post then off out, if you are really worried Tamashii you could always pay for a private scan at 8 weeks. I dont think they cost that much.

Hi crawlinginmyskin hope everything is ok at the dr's.

First thing I noticed was my boobs started bursting out of my bra, I was the same with both of my boys too.

Tamashii I have woken up with a really stuffy nose every morning this week but it has gone my mid morning, never heard of it been a pregnancy sign but I think you might be right. I've also been really emotional, daft little things keep setting me off.

sunface I'm really having to stop myself getting over excited, it happened really fast for us and I so wasn't expecting it, it has sent my head into a spin and I think I'm abit scared of Jinxing things.

Hi all can i join.

Got fainest of faint lines on Sunday and Monday and a very definate one on Tuesday. AF due Friday coming.

This will be (fingers crossed) DC2, DS1 is 2.7yrs. We stared trying in the new year and I fell pregnant straight away (did with DS1 so don't know why i am shocked!)

At work at moment, feeling sick and trying not to retch infront of my colleague (retched till about 26 weeks last time )

I'm curious how this pregnancy will be different to my last? People say you show earlier which is not good news as i was showing at about 9 weeks last time but i was super skinny then, whereas now i think it will just blend in with the fat!

yup, very tentative posting to be honest. just can't help but think things will go like last time - oh how positive am i?!! snowpeas i'm the same, can't quite let it sink in yet, keep wanting to re-test just to check i didn't imagine it.
tamashii yup, constantly going to the loo (even though at work) to knicker check too. it's going to be a long 2 months.

I too have had a stuffy nose for most of January! Kept putting it down to the cold!

Hi dribbleface & congratulations

My first 2 pregnancies were very similar in the symptoms I had, I was really tired and my boobs expanded at an alarming rate but I showed later with number 2, with DS1 I was showing by about 12 weeks but with DS2 I wasn't showing until about 18 weeks when my bump just seemed to become huge overnight.

I didn't have any sickness with either of my boys but this time I am feeling quite sick on a morning and smells seem really strong which is something I didn't notice until much later with my first 2, DH peeled an orange this morning and to me it just smelt vile! Funnily enough I craved oranges with DS1.

sunface I am resisting the urge to retest just to make sure and I only got by BFP 5 hours ago, it just seems so surreal.

It's only natural to be tentative, after all the problems I had with DS1 & DS2 I can't believe that it was straight forward this time, I'm trying to keep positive and will send some positive vibes your way.

I think I might just crack and tell my best friend though, I know she can keep a secret and she lives 300 miles away so not likely to bump into my mum in town

aw snowpeas, i totally know where you're coming from. I had one clear blue test left over so tested again at lunchtime, still BFP! Good vibes sent your way too!! its also good to hear that you will have a bit of an age gap between DC3 and your other children, as we'll be the same, DC2 will be 4 if this pregnancy goes well...am i deluded in thinking that this is a good thing because the older two will be able to help out :o

Good afternoon all!
Crawling I hope everything goes ok at docs for you.
Snow peas my emotions have gone crazy today just been to a bday party with ds and a balloon popped in his face and could feel myself about to cry. Have just had a blub now for no reason at all!

Hi and congratulations dribbleface sorry you feel sick already :( I think am starting to show a little already if that is poss?? Tummy is def rounder.

Has anybody told anyone else yet?

Hello ladies! Can I join please?

Got a BFP this morning, cb digital says 1-2 weeks, as AF was 29th Dec that makes me 4 weeks?!

Felt bloated, tired and hungry for weeks but that's the only syptoms I've had so far. Tummy definately feels rounder, can't quite breathe in all the way!!

Got an app with the nurse tomorrow am to confirm.

I was soooo excited this morning I rang my mum straight aways with DH knowing, she was so happy and it was great to have someone to talk to before I went to work grinning like a loon!

*without DH knowing...

hello ladies, can I join? I got my BFP 2day

my main symptoms have been crazy sore boobs, nausea and loss of appetite (which is not like me in the slightest!)

to add to the many positives about 40+ mums, well I'm 25 and have a DD age 4, but I'm the eldest of 5, my youngest 2 brothers are 8 and 2 yrs old. My mam was 45 when she has the youngest. she was absolutely fine during her pregnancy.

here's to a happy 9 months xx

newmummy2lucas and hils74 - yep my tummy is harder low down and rounder. Was the same with DS.

Hils74 - i popped round to see my mum at lunch today, couldn't not tell her.

About to stuff a pizza, no doubt will feel sick after but its worth it. tend to feel most sick in the late evening, think thats how its started with DS but to be honest was sick from week 4 with Ds so this time is a little better already!

congratualtions 25bablou!

Ah thanks for all the well wishes all went great thanks. I am fairly certain it is low iron as I suffer that when not pg so I am not too worried just hoped it wouldn't rear up till a bit later on but never mind.

Welcome and congrats to all the new ladies.

waves at new ladies. Nothing much else to add to the discussion, just wanting to let you all know am still lurking

Welcome all newly pregnant ladies! Congratulations all round.

Glad ur ok CrawlingInMySkin

Welcome to all the new ladies

It looks as though everyone is getting pregnant this month!

I also have the stuffy nose of pregnancy. I got it before I even knew I was pregnant. In my first pregnancy the stuffy nose was so annoying at night time. In the end I had to take otorvine spray to be able to sleep. Don't think I'll mind about that though so long as everything keeps going well with the pregnancy. Keep feeling worried about it this time, I think because of DH pointing out the high rate of chemical pregnancy. Trying not to think about it too much!!

Was pleased for you getting the right result earlier Penelope - phew!!

Hi everyone,
Another to join the bus please! By my calculations I'm due on the 1st October, need to ring GP tomorrow and get the ball rolling.
This is DC2 for us, DS is currently resisting sleep so I'm in omg what have we done frame of mind but am sure that'll change!

Thanks arabella. The tiredness has really hit me now, it's hard being so tired at work but I don't want to tell anyone.

I have been asked by workmates why am not drinking caffeine (I have gone off it and used to be a real addict, hence them noticing) so implied it's a new year's resolution. Feel bad for telling a fib, but wasn't going to tell the truth! Has anyone else had to tell little lies about how they're feeling? Being my first I've never been in this situation before so don't have any good excuses down pat.

Hi there -

can I join in please?! I got a positive this morning after convincing myslef there was no hope. this is my first and I'm sooo excited (and a bit scared)
xx

eek now to give up caffeine (or at least cut down) - that will be hard.

hello & congratulations to all the new ladies.

sunface the five year age gap really worked for us with DS1 & DS2, DS1 loved to help out and they are really close now (although I think the fact that DS2 brought some sonic the hedgehog figures with him for DS1 really helped the bonding process!)

Not so sure DS1 will be so keen this time round, he'll be nearly 11 by the time this one arrives and he's starting to reach the stage where everything is 'boring' unless it involves the wii, pokemon or yu-gi-oh but he's such a great big brother to DS2 I really hope he's the same this time.

The tiredness has really hit me, I was in bed really early last night but I just can't keep my eyes open, not looking forward to the walk to school this morning and it's only 10mins at most.

My resolve to not telling anyone didn't last long, told my best friend last night but she has been sworn to secrecy, was nice to tell someone and has made it a bit more real.

off to tackle the walk the school now, at least it's not raining

i'm very very tired too, not sure if it's due to having 2 DC already or the pregnancy, but finding it a struggle most days not to nod off at work! Hey snakears i remember you from the Conception forum!!! Congratulations!!!! i'm finding it veryyyy hard to go withough caffeine too. snowpeas my eldest will turn 9 a month or so after this one due (all going well of course) and my youngest will be 4, so kind of in the same boat as you! think i'm worried more about space in the house, we only have 3 beds, a small car etc etc, the list goes on.... Oh and i also work 4 full days a week, bit worried about money and how we'll cope....

I'm having the opposite problem and just cannot sleep at all!

Sunface - i'm also worried about money etc but it all sorts itself out in the end.

Congratulations sankeears - I'm having to tell fibs too, our work Xmas party is on Sat (got rescheduled due to heavy snow before Xmas). Didn't go last year as husband has accident, drove year before because DS was poorly and i wanted to be able to get home, and was pregnantv the year before! So much talk about me letting my hair down this year!
