Late May 2012 bambino's (couldn't find a non-busy bus!)

[Dozeyland]

Hello Ladies,

I have a 10.5 month old DD, Got my BFP yesterday and confirmed with Clearblue today. EDD 21st May 2012.

Anybody want to join?

:)

widget, i hope you dont think i am speaking out of turn but it sounds like you have made your mind up to me - to have number 4..... not advising you one way or the other as i dont know your situation. hope you dont mind me saying that.

Widget, take it from the midget you shouldn't feel bad for wondering if you could cope with 4. Any sane person would have moments of doubt. We are all in different situations so as someone who has problems keeping them to stick don't feel bad on our account. You can still express your doubts. Anyway I hope you find your way to a solution. x

no, I think you are probably right, I'm just not sure i can do the other option. If I can't even get my brain to think about it, then it doesn't give me much of an option! Having said that, I so don't want to go through it all again! And - I feel gross! Am fine now, but yesterday and this am - eughh! not wanting to do all of it again, and another c section and I have just had my umblical hernia repaired! DH still not talking to me. Off to pilates now which isn't going to help levels of communication!

Thank you Midget. x

Feeling a bit more positive today
Tired though, so so tired. I'm not sure how I did the school run this afternoon without actually falling asleep in the playground.
Also I'm so bloated by lunch, what with that and my ever increasing breasts I'm starting to feel very frumpy and I'm sure people must be commenting how much weight I've put on as all I can wear is baggy, baggy, baggy.

Starting to feel really sick now if I let myself get too hungry so that's quite reassuring

Know what you mean about the bloat CODwidow. I look like a beast. I was a size 6 yesterday and I am bulging out my bras and a stomach like a football today. When did that happen?

I wake up a size 12 and go to bed at least 2 sizes higher!! Worth it if I see a happy baby at week 12 though

As soon as I get through the door is stretchy jogging bottoms on!! I'm sure if I told people I was pregnant they wud think I was further along!! The wind has kicked in as well so feeling very attractive today.

I know it is all worth it but the unattractive element is kind of fast. I suppose as my body has been pregnant so many times it really knows what to do! So even though I had flat abs 3 days ago they have already totally disappeared now.Mother nature is a freaky thing. In an all day meeting - praying that the wind stays at bay as really can't see how I can be in company!

I just wanted to share that I am so tired. Am at work and can't concentrate on anything. Roll on home time is all I can say.

Anyone else too tired to care at the moment?

Dd slept well last night but I am still very tired!

Have bursts of energy then feel so tired! I really do need to drink
More water and have fruit! I'm doing ok with the veg!

My boobs haven't gone up in size as I'm still feeding dd. Nips get s bit sore
But other than tiredness - I'm A-ok! Oh and the occasional bloating yuk.

How's everyone getting on? Anyone working, sahm, self emp?

Widget how's things?

Hi all,

I'm shattered! I went to bed at 9.30 last night and didn't get up until 7 but I'm still ready for a nap. I don't remember feeling this tired last time but I suppose last time I didn't have DD so I could lie in and rest at the weekends. DD is wonderful but she is usually up by 6.30 and is a very active 2 year old .

I'm still working 4 days a week but I handed in my notice just before I got my bfp so I'll be finishing in Dec. I'm looking forward to finishing and having some time with DD before DC2 arrives but I think looking after DD full time and trying to start my own business is going to be very full on!

Afternoon all...super bloated here too, keep panicing I don't have 'enough' symptoms if that makes sense but I am v tired, boobs bigger (though not sore this tim ) trying hard to stay calm and not stress about what we'll see (or not!) when we get to scan time but having a very stressful day, for various reasons but then topped off with my best friend ringing me to say that she and her DH have both been made redundant this morning ...they both work for the same company and have 35years service there between them!!! What's particuarly concerning, aside from the obvious that I'm v upset/concerned for them, is that they work in the same industry as me!

Afternoon all, well sickness hit with force this morning after all that moaning Ive done about no symptoms!!

Just so so so tired and it doesn't matter how much I rest I'm still exhausted roll on 3pm when I have 4 ds's to keep me busy

just got booking app and early scan date through...18th and 20th October so just 3 weeks to survive until then which isn't too bad! was moaning to DH about lack of symptoms earlier but now soooo tired!

Hey blue/fellow due dater. How did you manage such an early scan? And how good to have your booking appointment in the diary already.

As I only went to GP yesterday, I presume appt will follow in a week or so?

Excuse me whilst I have a kip under my desk (I wish) [sleepy face]

Ps dozey in answer to your Q- I work full time and commute into London each day. 2 hours each way. Hmmmm

I am also very gassy. Thank goodness no-one was near me a minute ago.

astro I went to the docs last Monday so it got on the system pretty quickly but also I had a miscarriage earlier in the year and they said I could have an early scan this time to check all ok as it wasn't found until the 12w scan last time though had all stopped at 5-6 weeks so I'd been merrily plodding along thinking all was fine (no bleeding or cramps) when it wasn't SO glad I don't have to wait as long this time as the wait to 12w was hideous last time and then to get that news was just awful!

Was only moaning to DH this morning about lack of symptoms but now feel the only thing I have brain for is MN, my work is utterly baffling me at the moment and I want to go home and sit on the sofa with MN and daytime TV!!

I second that! I've been tired today too and was a bit queasy this morning, but luckily I finish work in 2 mins and there's lasagne left over from last night so I don't even have to cook - yippee!

Dozeyland am ok, thanks for asking. Still haven't made up my mind, but think my mind is kind of making it up for me - if you know what I mean! DH not home and I have been out the last two nights so really haven't spoken about it for a while. I know what he thinks, but I also think he will do what I want to do, which puts me in more of a situation because I know he thinks we shouldn't because financially/responsibly its not a good idea, but I also know that that would be fine IF I wasn't pregnant, which I am. Feeling tired every now and then, not sleeping amazingly but not too bad, and as long as I eat a lot, I am fine. Determind not to be the size of a whale and undo all hard work, but looks like it might not actually happen, as have to eat to feel human and with three small boys running around - I need to be human! How is everyone else going?

Oh blue sorry to hear about MC. FX for this time

exhausted too - barely able to limp through the day at work before coming home and crashing. Then feel bad as too tired to play properly with my 11 month old...just sit on the sofa making comments at his playing ("oh that looks like fun....NO!......that's it, be a good boy").

I've already had 4 scans (6.5 weeks) as they were checking for a potential ectopic pregnancy then I had several bleeds. All still looking good though, suprisingly. Am trying not to get too caught up in things and just say that what will be will be. Hard to be staunch about pregnancy though.

There's not much to see this early, but you could see a small fluttering - its heart beating. Lovely.

It's great to have company on mumsnet. Other people can't quite grasp how tired you feel when you're first-trimester-tired. It's bone crushing!!!

Hi everyone and congrats!!!

bluecrane i am in the same boat as you. I mc'd earlier this year. It was my first pregnancy and found out there was no heartbeat at 9 weeks. Soul destroying. Had really really bad morning sickness last time round. I had no energy, I just stayed in bed all day, was pretty depressed, couldn't eat much etc.

This time round I am now 6wks 2days and feel so different to my last pregnancy. Symptoms are random tiredness (on and off...not all day long like last time), Am very bloated, get slight cramps, boobs are bigger but not sore, I eat all the time (but then when I think back to what I just ate I feel sick..hhehe I think smaller portions are a must) and I have been getting nauseous 1st thing in the morning and last thing at night.
So far so much better than last time.

bluecrane and anyone else who has miscarried are you finding it really hard to stay positive? I am sometimes. And sometimes I have to hold myself back thinking of how pregnant i'll be on certain dates in the future. Just being defensive I guess. Last night I even had a nightmare that I went in for an ultrasound and the same happened as last time :( I was so relieved I woke up and realised it was a nightmare.

I keep repeating to my self - new sperm + new egg = new pregnancy :)))

Have second early ultrasound next Monday.

Haven't told anyone about this pregnancy, We really want to deliver good news at 12 wk mark but am considering telling parents so that they can cross their fingers for us and send us their love vibes for this baby!

So very tired, not sure how im functioning in all honesty. Just totally exhausted and now nausea until about 11am. Just looking forward to reaching 12 weeks in all honesty, i feel totally useless these past few days.

Hello all, it's been ages since I was on here. Things have been ok apart from suffering really bad stomach cramps about 2 weeks ago. GP sent me to hospital, who were great, did a scan (too early to see anything) ran bloods then again 48hrs later. Thank god all was good however to be on the safe side they are scanning me at 7 weeks (this Monday coming). The day after the blood tests I started with an upset stomach and still have it . Anyone else suffering with this? I have sore boobs,have a little tiredness and a small amount of nausea.
