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?

:)

Workwise I only went back properly 2 weeks ago! And am dreading informing them again - must also learn to repeat I'm well within my rights! :) good call!

Widget - sorry to hear it a difficult decision, it must be really hard. Have you thought about getting outside counselling or family counselling? You're obviously doing brilliantly with 3 already & grieving for your twins. Hope it becomes clearer for you.

Found out yesterday & already feeling exhausted! Real or imagined though I have no idea- just collapsing on sofa with maltesers while reading article about healthy eating in first trimester - ooops :)

Me too, sitting reading the paper eating maltezers thinking I can eat sensibly soon! I do masses of exercise usually (spent two years getting in great shape post children - haha!) and honestly don't feel like I have the energy to do it! I am so confused. I just don't know what to do. Should talk to my mother as the same happened to her oddly, so she should be able to shed some light! We are in the middle of the most enormous building project, are living in hire world conditions, have almost run out of money, have puppies due in October and now this! I have never been so confused! Help me please?

widget sorry to hear about your difficulties, must be hard having that on
Your mind.

I feel positive about this pregancy, had a lot going on lately (dp was in a horrendous
Car crash in april, lots going on including a court case right up until next year, where
He could potentially get blamed, when it was a freak accident, bad road and also lots of conflicting evidence.
So this is our light I think, even though I feel so worried, dp is thrilled.

Today I am absolutely shattered, hormonal and just feeling fed up. Just thinking that I'm being moody towards dp
And dd, just getting worn out so easily when I am usually my happy, energetic self with her. I don't
Want her to feel like I'm being a moany mum. She's nearly 11 months, so is into everything. I love watching her
But since being pg, I feel like I'm just so tired and worn out.

I am still doing baby groups etc with her, but I just inside feel hormonal and want to
Cry at anything!

I was like this when prg with her up untol week 7/8 I think. Just feel rubbish

Plus doing my photography business (just starting out) lots of work and no time,
Trying to decide about my other job, just moved house, and running low on pennies!

We will manage but you know when you have those days where YOU just feel crap
About almost anything. No one else really, just YOU feeling sorry for yourself! Like I am today!

I wonder how I'm going to carry this pregnancy? I was very relaxed last time,
Just having a poo day and it'll pass! (Optimistic me) x

Sorry for the rant, :)

Pastafantastic - I know I keep telling myself that in regards to work, can't
Remember if I mentioned but my year is nearly up on my current matleave, taken additional
Leave due to dps accident, and am meant to go back soon 2 mornings I think. But I am in two minds (nervous about leaving
Dd, and not enjoying the job. But I should go back as I need the money, even if it will be peanuts... And
Because of how low the pay will be I'm not sure what amount of smp I will get next year....
I will start mat leave and pay from 11weeks to my due date (like with dd) and I'm just not sure how to tell my manager,
She should be ok but her boss is a cow and will be spiteful) as her daughter works with me, lost her baby ( tragic times and it was awful for her) but I was made to
Feel guilty being pregnant last time. And I don't want that again....

Sunnybobs - I know the feeling, I am craving crap already, but I think its lack of energy!

Just thought I'd do one of these....

Sorry I'm such a chatterbox (my hand is aching - typing on my blackberry!)

widget sorry you're having such a difficult time.

Workwise, I went back in April (took 12 months mat leave, then all my annual leave and also some parental leave so I was off for 16 months in total). In that time the ward got a new manager, who is really nice but I don't know him all that well. Had my annual assessment thingy on Friday and told him I'm pregnant. I felt I had to to keep myself safe (so I don't have to make excuses about not going to xray etc.). He was fine with it. Haven't told the rest of my colleagues yet though, it feels quite nice to have a secret!

I've been feeling really tired this weekend. Poor DD and DH have had to rely on eachother for entertainment whilst I've been curled up on the sofa with the cat!

Hello all. Just to let u know that there is an "any may babies" topic under the Antenatal forum, if u weren't already aware. I am due about 11th/12th may. It's my first so feeling quite anxious about it all!

Hello and congratulations, everyone! May I join in, too?

Got BFP this morning, EDD 25th May. Doesn't feel real yet, but still so exciting

You most definitely can! Congratulations! Me too, we haven't told a soul
So it doesn't seem real yet as dd is keeping me busy. Feels a bit real though (
Got a stinking headache and feel queasy :( )

Can I join?? I'm due 17th may (I think) with dc5! Very much planned but widget I know what you mean as now it's actually happened I'm terrified as my youngest is 3 and just started preschool so I have 3 days a week all to myself, things have started to get easier but I think hormones are hugely to blame in this panic!

I'm worried as just got a new job and due to go in for induction and find out my start date but now not wanting to start, dh saysi should just explain that circumstances mean I have changed my mind but I'm terrified of messing them about.

Symptom wise just feeling very tired and have terrible headache apart from that I cry at everything !! Lol but just thankful the sickness hasn't started yet as suffered bad the previous 4 times just hoping it stays away (fingers crossed)

Hi to all the new people on the thread. Want to add your names and due dates to the list?

Dozeyland, thanks for putting it up. Sounds like you're under a lot of stress. Still feeling the pressure?

I keep going into work and only just hanging on to my temper. Pregnancy rage today was directed at tghe guy who sits next to me and breathes partucluarly loudly and patronises with every other word.

I work in financial services, very much a man's world in my office!

Anyone else feeling the emotional rollercoaster in the office or on the home front?

Well ive managed to cry 3 times in 3 hours now, cant remeber being this hormonal with any of the others just hoping it passes sonn for everyones sake lol

Hello ladies, can I join please! Found out I am expecting no 2 today. Clearblue text says I am 3 weeks.

Think I am getting there, not sure about hubby though. Ergghhhhh!

I can't add as on my phone but hopefully get on the laptop tomorrow

Anyone else still wondering if it's real? I keep sitting here thinking, what if the test was wrong. ????????

Hormones have been horrid today, headache and mild nausea. Had this with dd up to 7/8weeks.
Feel like I'm not a pleasant person to be around the past few days (poor dd and dp)

Does anyone know the score with SMP for self-employed?

Hi I'd like to join you all please

I am still waiting for a BFP but I am 99.9% certain I am pg with our 4th (gasp). I have done a few cheap tesco tests which have been negative but think I'm testing too early on a long cycle. Have one left so hoping for a BFP tomorrow. I actually was convinced I was pg from the moment i ovulated because I had days of headaches which is unheard of for me. I just knew i felt different.

This pregnancy is a lovely surprise for me & a big shock for my DH. We weren't planning a 4th child at all & it's still very hard to imagine one but I love being PG & giving birth so I'm more than happy to go through it all one last time (& this definitely WILL be the last time!!

I'll be 5 wks tomorrow so due 29th May & have added myself to the list. I will report back with my BFP

I hope you get your BFP Leaky!

I too had "the feeling" even before I got my BFP, just knew it!

Morning everyone, and congrats to all. I'm 31 and after 18 months of trying finally got positive test last week - first baby. Looks like I'm due mid-may but had very irregular periods so could be 2 weeks earlier or later...

Told my boss the day I found out (about 5 weeks) as I was feeling rubbish and didn't want to have to fob him off with excuses if I'm too rough to go in (work has really strict absence policy). He was great tho, only 4 years older than me and his little boy's 2nd birthday last sat so he's well aware of pressures of impending babyhood!

Hoping no nausea today, but we'll see how it goes...

Morning everyone! How's everyone feeling today?

Feeling a bit queasy today, but not sure if it's the pregnancy or the feeling of keeping a big secret! Anyone else feel like that? It's odd having life changing news but not feeling able to tell everyone.

Did you get your BFP today, leaky?

Sorry, alwaysanauntie, didn't spot your post before I made that list!

Leaky did you get a bfp??? Well I gave in and told my sister and best friend today at least I know if anything does goes wrong I have people to talk to plus I just couldn't keep it in any longer

I think I'm going to wait 4 weeks before seeing the doctor so hopefully things will start happening from there as didn't have my other booking Ins til about 12weeks.
Nausea is just that but still no actual throwing up which I can deal with, not loving the headaches though.

Starting to think about scans as I had 4 with my last, 11wks (due to bleeding), 16weeks (private gender) 20weeks and then a 3d one at 30weeks and it was lovely as broke the wait up but not sure I want to know the sex this time?

I'm unsure about finding out this time, too. We really wanted to find out the first time around but baby was always in strange positions, legs crossed etc and ended up having to go back 3 times for the gender scan. He's still just as difficult, now

I'm already feeling a bit worried about giving birth, and it's ages away Anyone else have a caesarean the first time and then a VBAC? Had to have an elective at 39 weeks with DS as he was breech and nothing would turn him.

My surgery said that I won't see a Dr but will need to book in with the midwife at 12 weeks - unsure when I'll have my first scan in that case. First time around I lived in another city and I had to have the pregnancy confirmed by a Dr, then see the midwife at 8 weeks. Mind you, that was 4 years ago!

Feeling very tired today, Muzzy head too :(

Going to pop to Baby Cafe with DD in a bit, get some fresh air. We're trying to not tell anyone until the scan (may tell my boss before that though?)

I booked my booking in appointment, I will be 9 weeks by that point. Can't believe its 7long weeks until a potential scan! :(

Hello all the newcomers, Congratulations! :)

Any news leaky?

Hi everyone,

Well i tested at 3.45am & got another negative. SO frustrating as i know that i am pg.I wonder if it's cos i was only in bed for 4 hrs so my wee wasn't strong enough. Hard though cos I've noticed these past few days that my wee is looking quite pale .

I've been out & bought some superdrug tests this morning as I've heard they're supposed to be good. Last wee'd at 11am so now trying not to drink & I'm gasping for a cuppa. Am going to try in a little while but I don't hold out much hope, BUT I AM PG! I just know it.

It says you can test 4 days before day period is due. I was roughly due around yesterday/today. But it also says that is around 15 days after ovulating. I know I ovulated Tues/Wed 2 weeks ago so if I count it from Tues that makes today day 15 but if I should be counting from the Wed then it's not until tomorrow

Oh well, I'll report back.....

I've just spoke to a friend who also said you now just book straight in with midwife?? So may do that in a few weeks as I'm so unsure of dates I'm hoping to have a scan not long after but not holding my breath

Had a good long chat with my mum today about a new baby and all the exciting bits so feeling very positive now!

Leaky I didn't get a brisket my 2nd until 4 days after my period was due so keep trying!
