Is there anyone around who has just found out that they are pregnant and are due in Sept?
I know it's very early days but I thought maybe I could get the ball rolling...
I'm due around Sept 4th I think, with DC2, feeling very happy if a bit nervous :)

Dh gone for the snip this am! Unsurprisingly, he was really tetchy and well, snippy this morning.

I really hope everything is ok with this baby, dc4. I feel a bit jittery as I'm 40 now and you read of all the stats being more of a concern as one gets older.

I'm starting to think I should just forget about it instead of dwelling on it!

WinkyWinkola · 06/01/2012 11:12

And so many due in September!

Jebus you're pretty close! DH works at BW. Can say that confident in the knowledge that it isn't giving anything away, since there's a squillion shops there. I hear it's a mile all the way round, so if you take a stroll round the whole mall, upstairs and down, that's pretty good exercise for one day!

I don't think we really have any other choices for midwifery, do we? It's Darenth Valley or nothing... kind of peeved.
Would ideally like a home birth, but that idea has DH shitting bricks, so we'll just have to see.
I don't like the idea of being in hospital and them taking the baby away then bringing it back- how would I know it was mine? I'm paranoid and silly enough for that to be a real problem, even if it was the right baby. Maybe I should send DH with them, lol.

Right. I'm off for a tepid bath. Groan. In the absence of any enjoyment from the boiling water I'm not allowed, I'm taking a whopping toblerone in with me.

Whatevertheweather · 06/01/2012 14:31

Sorry to be a pain but I'm also on an iPhone. Could someone c&p on to the stats for me:

Whatevertheweather. 30. DC3 EDD 06/09/2011. Portsmouth hospital.

Has anyone else who has had a previous c-section had pains around their scar, especially when sneezing?

ViolaCrayola · 06/01/2012 14:39

Wow! Congrats and a big welcome to all the newcomers :) This is definitely the biggest thread I have ever started...

I just want to have a moan right now. I am SO very happy to be pregnant, don't get me wrong, but I cannot believe that I am ALREADY feeling completely exhausted, nauseous, bloated, crampy, SPD pained, fuzzy headed and blueeergh! I suppose symptoms are a good sign, but I am seriously worried about how I am going to hope with work, my toddler, and life in general.

OK, moan over. Must think of the newborn cuddles! How is everyone else feeling today?

Oh, Wintermymble, wanted to agree with everyone that it is completely normal to feel freaked out at times the first time you're pregnant, or (ahem) the second, or I imagine the third or fourth! I too can assure you that having a baby, scary as it is, is also wonderful in so many ways :)

Loopyhasanotherbean · 06/01/2012 15:18

whatevertheweather yes, when sneezing or coughing this week i have had that around my scar

Choedron · 06/01/2012 15:38

Thanks Loopyhasanotherbean I got a bit worried and went to see my GP today, the GP referred me to the Early Pregnancy Clinic, I had a internal scan which was inconclusive, so feeling a bit teary and worried. I also had blood taken to check HCG level.. Fingers crossed .. They are calling me in a hour to let me know the results. Will keep posted..

Caitycat · 06/01/2012 16:25

Please could you add me to the list? I'm another iphoner who can't do myself. Originally said 4th but midwife told me it's 1st so I'm just in September. Had v early scan today and saw tiny heartbeat! So happy, just hope
it continues well

Macaroons · 06/01/2012 16:27

caitycat you saw the heartbeats already!!! How exciting! Grin

Whatevertheweather · 06/01/2012 16:37

Thank you Loopyhasanotherbean Sorry you're feeling it too but reassuring to know I'm not alone Smile

Caitycat how exciting the first scan and heartbeat on this thread Smile It must have been so lovely to see.

Choedron fingers crossed for you lovely. Really hope everything is okay. Let us know xx

WinterMymble · 06/01/2012 16:56

Thanks so much ViolaCrayon :) You are all being fantastically encouraging and supportive. I will try not be too negative (still so nervous I keep being sick - or maybe that is actually morning sickness! Ha!) I spoke to my midwife person today, and I think she thought I was a bit of a twit - she kept saying she always knew she wanted children, which is nice for her but not a massive help to me right this second :)

caitycat how awesome you had the scan! That must have been a fantastic feeling! Congratulations :)

WinterMymble · 06/01/2012 17:01

Caitycat I have added you to the list, and updated my info too with the DC and location thing.

I am a Borderline lunatic! Wink

How many sticks have you all peed on since the first one? Come now don't be shy!!! lol

I found out on the 1st.....today is 6th = 5 test so far. Have one left just in-case I have another burst of crazy!

This is why I used to drink, as I obsessed constantly! Now I can't drink I pee on sticks!

Hope you are all feeling sexy!Smile

pgreen · 06/01/2012 18:33

hello
Started a thread before I found this one....
We've been TTC for over a year. Earlier this week discovered I was pg (after checking via 3 clearblue tests - didn't trust it, still don't :) ). I've booked an appt with GP but can't be seen till end of next week. Very excited but very anxious. I have an underlying medical condition and came off all my meds 18 months ago as TTC. My DH is very excited but haven't spoken a word to anyone else as don't want to jinx it. I'll be 36 next month so a little worried too about the health risks. By my calc EED somewhere around the 6th or 7th Sept

TheDetective · 06/01/2012 18:35

I have now told DF the news! He was made up! Keeping it between us and the WWW for now!!!

Now all I have to hope is that there is no repetition of the hyperemesis that plauged DS's pregnancy, and put me off having a second for so long. Keeping fingers firmly crossed.

Anyone started looking for all things baby yet? I've started to look in to childcare options ( :( ) because from past experience, baby spaces are harder to come by, and sadly I will have to go back to work when my baby is about 7 months old.

PS. being a midwife is NO help when you are pregnant, too much knowledge is a bad thing to have!!

Dorita75 · 06/01/2012 19:02

Thanks whatevertheweather Grin
Rusulka I also left the Doc's a bit 'what now?' She was nice and told me lots about what not to eat etc..but just said nothing would happen until I saw midwife at hospital...After I left I wondered whether I had to make that appointment or she would...was only when I went for flu jab this week and asked nurse, who told me that I'd get letter from hospital automatically (got phone call around 5pm that day from hosp and confirmation letter next day) Am booked in for 27th Jan, and they book scan then too.

thedetective glad you've been able to tell dh, exciting!!

Dorita I also saw GP today, she was nice and congratulated me, then filled in a registration form, asked if I'm taking folic acid, and that's about it! Said nothing about what would happen until I see midwife, I asked when's the first appointment likely to be, she said I'll receive something in the post.

I said I'm going away in February and I feel some cramps when I go to bed, can I have a scan before I go away to ensure it's not ectopic before I go away... and she said no, NHS doesn't work that way Sad if I were to have a 11-12 week scan that'd be mid Feb which will be after my holiday... so I'm thinking of going for a private scan for peace of mind. Do anyone have any recommendation with private ultrasound scanning clinics in London? How much do these things usually cost? And how many weeks can we start hearing heart beats? Thanks!

Hi macaroons I don't know about clinics in London, I'm in Liverpool but I know scans cost about £100...quite a few people on the August thread have had them. Weird thing I never knew is that it's done internally if before a certain number of weeks...?!
