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 :)

Helloo. I found out boxing day. Due on 2nd sept. first baby.

sorry if i'm being thick but what is the 4+4 stuff about? my last period was on 27/11/11 on a 28 day cycle if that means anything Confused

Hi Everyone

congratulations! I've just found out today that I am about four weeks pregnant and due 1st September.

I still cannot believe it, we have been ttc for nearly 3 years and I struggle with PCOS, so over the moon, but also scared to get all my hopes up too.

Hello everyone. I've been TTC two years with no luck, gone through all the tests and went for my pre-op yesterday for lap and dye - and got a phone call when I got home to tell me my pregnancy test is positive. It's early days and I have to go for a repeat test next week, but having read this thread I've seen that some of you are in a similar boat to me so i'm joining in.
I have a 6 year old DS already, but from a previous relationship so this is DC2 for me but DC1 for DH (who it has to be said is a little stunned by the news)

I think i've added everyone in now? it's best to try and keep up or you lose people if the thread moves fast.

spuddybean 4+4 is 4 weeks and 4 days. Midwives and Doctors will count your pregnancy in weeks and they will count it from the first day of your last period, not from when you ovulated/conceived.

Welcome Signet, Spuddy, Suzet, and QueenRollo!

Trillian every time I go to the loo and can feel I'm peeing through fluid I panic. It's usually just a bit of random CM, but as I had spotting on Christmas Day, I keep expecting it to be that again.
I thin we'll all be checking every time we wipe.

Signet were you on one of the May/June/July/late summer buses? Thought I recognised the username, although there may of course be several swans/ Xmas Grin

Hello everyone Smile

celebmum · 30/12/2011 22:25

Hi im just popping in for a nosey.. I'm TTC DC2 and am currently about to commence on my 2WW! Sooooo hopefully ill be able to join you all with a late sept date! i have very positive feelings this month! Smile

congratulations to you all!

Bakeroo · 30/12/2011 23:03

Hi,
It's so nice to see so many people on here who've also just found out they're pregnant! I found out 2 days ago and am due on the 1st September, all being well. This is my second pregnancy this year(my last ended on 2nd Sept), my first ended at 8 weeks as a result of an ectopic pregnancy. Needless to say I am beyond thrilled and amazed we were lucky enough to fall so quickly again as my ep ruptured and so I needed an emergency op and lost my right tube. I am nervous about having the first scan which I have to have between 6 and 7 weeks to check it's not an ep again....but I'm really hopeful and positive too :)
Am dying to tell people the happy news after months of being sad but know it's probably best to wait.
Congratulations everyone!
Xx

malymoo · 31/12/2011 00:03

Hi, congratulations to all! By my calculations, I'm due on 2nd Sept with DC2. Very excited and can't wait to tell friends and family, but know it's early days yet ...

iph · 31/12/2011 00:32

Thanks for the welcome and welcome and congrats to everyone else. Nice to have such a broad range of people and experiences already. It's got to be a lucky thread to include at least three ladies who have had a 'win' after so long trying. Trillion, queenrollo, suzette and anyone else who has had a long road to get this far, my hat is off for you, as I mentioned we only tried for six months prior to last pregnancy and that felt like an eternity!

Like Eyes and davidsmum this will most hopefully be our 3rd dc. Have you recovered from the shock enough to tell DH yet eyes ?

Violetcrayon - I hope the ickiness is your imagination and that you get at least a few days reprieve before the real thing kicks in. From experience, morning noon and night sickness has kicked in around 6 weeks for me in the past. I'm trying to enjoy the calm before the storm

Bakeroo - so sorry for your loss. The next few weeks are going to be very nerve wracking for all of us probably and especially those who've had a previous loss. Hopefully freakingout talking together will help. Good you'll have the early reassurance scan.

There's no right and wrong in telling/not telling at this stage, I think. It's whatever feels right for you and can have no effect on the outcome of the pregnancy.
I've already told girls in work as I have the loveliest team and they have been an amazing support through the miscarriage. Think we will keep schtum with other friends and family though as don't want to put them through all the worry again and we definitely won't tell the children until a scan confirms that all is well.

Good luck celebmum, hope you get to join us soon

iph · 31/12/2011 00:35

Cross-posted - welcome and congrats malymoo!

I'm going to try and get some sleep now, exhausted but not sleepy - is insomnia a symptom?

Hello, congratulations and welcome everyone!

'Midwives and Doctors will count your pregnancy in weeks and they will count it from the first day of your last period, not from when you ovulated/conceived.'

Ah, had forgotten this. Well, in that case, I think I am 5 weeks and 2 days? As my LMP was 24/11/11... But I have long cycles - also have done another (think more accurate) internet calculator and it told me 3rd Sept. I am actually laughing at myself as I type this as I know full well it will probably change completely after the 12 week scan AND that DS came nowhere blimmin near his due date! But maybe I should change my stats?

iph - I think insomnia is a symptom! Lots of people mention it anyway. I have had that really annoying waking up and 3 in the morning thing so far.
Sickness kicked in last time for me at 6 weeks ish too, but seems to be early this time - still, it's fairly mild - hope it stays that way!

malymoo - I felt the same about telling friends and family and have done! I decided that I would rather people close to me knew, even if something went wrong. I did the same last time. Actually started a thread on this - people all have very different approaches - it's just whatever feels right to you.

I am feeling really paranoid and keep checking that my boobs are still sore! Blush

I found out I was pregnant on Tuesday with a very faint pink line and then a little bit stronger one the next morning. DH was happy but surprised as we were waiting to officially try till after christmas. Have DD already, just turned a year

Welcome to the new ladies, our little group is growing Smile

I've certainly got insomnia, I'm finding that if I wake up for any reason it's impossible to get back to sleep. And I'll need sleep tonight, got to be up at 5 for a 12 hour shift tomorrow, no partying for me tonight!

kellzi · 31/12/2011 16:57

Hi all, can I join, am due on the 01/09/2012, had a mc on the 6th October 2011 so bit anxious but very excited. Have reallyvsore boobs, loss of appetite, and get tired in late afternoon. Oh the joys. But hay we are going to have babies , good luck all x

cakeismysaviour · 31/12/2011 21:02

Had a BFP today - totally unexpected! DC1 is still only 3 months old....

Don't think I can be as presice on dates as you lot, as I haven't had a post birth period.

I was on the Sept 2010 baby bus and am more than a little freaked out to be joining the Sept 2011 baby bus!

cakeismysaviour · 31/12/2011 22:22

I do of course mean Sept 2011 and Sept 2012......!

MillontheFloss · 31/12/2011 23:14

I got a BFP a few days ago and worked my EDD out as 4 Sept. Think I am 4+4. Haven't been in touch with GP yet but will next week.

Had a MC in Aug/ Sept. I see there are a few others on here who have MC'd so wish luck to us all. Better luck this time x

ps, when is the earliest you can have a scan if you've MC'd? when can the heartbeat be detected? Don't want to have it too early and panic as no HB....

AmandinePoulain · 01/01/2012 05:38

Hi million. I had a scan with dd because of bleeding at 6 weeks and everything was clear. I saw a little kidney bean with a hb. This time I'm hoping for a scan at 8 weeks, on the NHS if I can blag one or otherwise at a local fertility clinic (which costs £140!)
