September 2012 anyone?

[ViolaCrayola]

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 :)

Oh gosh, me too with the junk food Ethel. Today I have eaten a bowl of cereal and orange juice, cereal bar, monster munch, tinned tomato soup and cheese sandwich on white bread, three chocolate biscuits, four ferrero rocher (left over from xmas- not sure how they've lasted so long!) and a chip roll for dinner with a can of fanta. Oh, and a satsuma. Must do better!

So sorry Missus xx

Loup yes to wanting junk food!! Am trying to resist though I fear it's futile.....

Iph nearly there....welcome to our little 25th Jan club MrsHP What time are your scans? Mine isn't until 2.30pm.

Plumsie yay what excellent news

Waves to everyone

Sorry Ethel yes to junk food!

missus so sorry to hear your news xxxx

I'm quite confused as my taste buds seem to have gone slightly chaotic; don't fancy chocolate AT ALL and am quite happy not having snacks etc etc (just don't fancy them). Also, just had some potato and some broccoli and oddly they both tasted of soil as did my salad. Most peculiar.

Is this normal? I'm beginning to think that anything can be normal...!!! :-)

Really sorry to hear that missus :(

Sucks to be outed like that spuddy I'd hate it. At least they have no excuse now for not taking care of you.

Hi to nikna sunflower and any new people might have missed. This is a speedy thread for.sure!

Trying to work out how long I reckon iv got before people know, partic at work etc. We are waiting on a tender result at the moment for our service so no ones job is secure after march (again) so it may not matter to miss anyhow that I'm pg if have to leave anyway. I kind of feel guilty not caring as.much as the rest of my team as ill be taking a year of ML this time, leaving the earliest date possible, hopefully using my full compliment of al directly beforehand. That makes it about mid May. I basically had a really terrible recovery from my c section a year ago so fully intend to be as easy on myself as possible towards the end this time. With dd I was still at work at 39 weeks, eek.

missus so sorry x

My scan is 340 pm whatever - I actually feel sick thinking about it.

Food wise I have to be so strict but today I was so hungry this morning - I had weetabix, then a bacon roll, then had a hypo and had fruit pastilles, then had a cheese and bacon croissant, then salad with egg mayo and bacon and crisps, more crisps after school, then my tea of lamb casserole and rice!!!!! Hmmmmmm reading that back bacon seems to factor a lot today!!!
,

Yes! Junk food ethelred tried to be healthy but bought salt%vinegar crisps on my dinnerbreak, then HAD TO HAVE a cream cake and could only buy a box of 4 err...so have eaten 3 and cheese on toast for tea...had massive carbs overload last week, chips from chippy, homemade giant yorkshire pudding, potato...every night, feel like a pig but can't stop. Think it's having snacks in work to deal with queasiness too...eating more and worse than my normal vaguely healthy food.

Great news plumsie v excited and happy for you!

Really sorry missus. I lost one in October so I know it is hard. Waited a month after as recommended and then tried again - and got pg immediately, stay strong x

Thanks for the sympathy everyone. I'm still bleeding and cramping, which is getting old. And now I have no excuse for eating all the junk food I want :)

ViolaCrayola thanks for sharing. We are hoping to try again after a month.

Missuswife so sorry to hear your news. Hopefully you'll be back in the saddle in no time.

Plumsie good news on the scan.

My spotting, which yesterday had slowed to a sort of vague yellowish stuff, was this morning bright red.
Had a full-on proper attack of the vapours, but only after seeing MiL to her taxi on her way back to DE. Rang EPU, shock, no answer. Range NHS direct, who gave me out of hours no. for my surgery. They rang me back and said it was nothing.
This is going to sound horribly racist, but I really hate foreign doctors. They're just so blunt and unsympathetic!
So I've been up since 5:15 and I'm just sitting here and waiting to go for the scan at 11:40, while DH catches up on sleep (men). It feels a lifetime away.

Really worried that I've brought it on myself for carrying home 2kg of bird seed yesterday- the spotting was back to dark brown when I got home, but then it was last time I left the house and exerted myself...

I'm so terrified that this is going wrong. I had some horrid pains in my lower left side last night- stabby stretchy pains- but they went off. Surely if it was an ectopic problem it would have bled a lot more and a lot sooner... right?

I'm thinking we should mentally prepare ourselves for nothing being there, like plumsie. I think it would be awful to hope for the best and see the worst.

Still, if the doctor doesn't think it matters, I guess I should try not to worry. Only an hour and a half to go til we get up. Great.

missuswife so sorry to hear about what you are experiencing. rusulka fingers crossed for you. jakey get well soon!

I finally got sore boobs!

missus sorry to hear about what you're going through. I had a MC in September when I was 6 weeks pregnant. Was horrible. However, I am now pregnant again (5 weeks) and am very hopeful all will be well this time - feels right this time. Hopefully you will get there again very soon.

macaroons congrats on the sore boob front, know it is what you wanted!! Mine are definitely bigger, heavier, lumpier and more painful, feels a bit weird!!

spuddy your line manager is well out of order, I would be furious!!

As for food, hmmm... my tastes buds seem a little all over the place too. Seem to be craving meat more than anything - so mjuch so that the other night I insisted we got an Indian takeaway as I really wanted /needed a lamb rogan josh!! Guess that links in with the junk food too!!

Oh, and I 'outed' my pregnancy to someone face to face yesterday which makes it more real! Only me and DH know as we havent told anyone else yet but I was looking for vitamin D in Boots, couldnt find it so had to ask the pharmacist. He asked me what dosage I needed and why I was taking them so had to say it! I know its only to a stranger but it was the first time I've said it out loud outside of my house!!

Is anyone else getting really hungry? I keep waking up in the night famished despite having a normal sized dinner at about 7 each night. I'm not doing any harm to the bean by not eating when I get hunger pangs am I? Has happened a few times this week but I have been in 3 hour work meetings so couldn't do anything about it.

I guess eating little and often is the way.

littlecherubleg wouldn't say I want sore boobs now! It felt like its bruised and painful! We haven't told any parent / sibling / friend that we are expecting yet. Only people we have told are strangers like people at a spa (as i was hoping to get a massage but they said they are not qualified to give pregnant women a massage), people at boots to make sure whatever I'm getting is fine, and waiter / waitress as restaurants as I'm not having any wine!

Just wondering when are you all planning to tell family and work? I'm inclined to wait till a bit longer. But if I want time off to attend midwife appointment I'll need to tell work soon. Also there's team lunch next week if I'm off wine colleagues may suspect.

spuddy, i think it is awful that your manager had told people.
I had a similar thing when i had my mc, i rang in sick, and when my boss was covering my shift, she told people what was wrong with me! I was gutted, and it just made the whole situation so much worse for me, I ended up making a complaint against her, then I left. This was the NHS, you would have thought they would know better.

I am starting feeling queasy, also boobs are really sore, had tummy cramps but they have eased off now, I'm 6 weeks today, and I am still checking like mad every time i go to the loo. I dont think I will be happy til Ive had a scan, last time i mc i started bleeding about 10 weeks.

Hope everyone else is ok, good luck to people having scans today.

Very sorry to hear your bad news missus, look after yourself xxx

Macaroons, I am waiting until 12 weeks when we have had a scan to tell people, I have got no desire to tell anybody, apart from my best friend, the only person that knew we were trying, and I havet told her yet!
In fact, I might even wait longer than 12 weeks.
Not sure what people will say, as they wont be expecting it, as youngest is 7, so it's a big gap!

Macaroons yes, the sore boobage isnt much fun huh??!!

As for telling people, we were going to wait until after the 12 week scan - and then tell the world!!
Will tell both sets of parents first, then siblings, then best friends, then friends, then colleagues.....
No one knows we have been trying apart from my best friend (I told her after I had my 4th MC as just needed to talk to someone) so I know she wont be surprised but will be delighted for us!!
Saying that, I reckon alot of my friends will suspect we are trying - we recently got married and I have always been quite honest and open about wanting children. Plus I havent drank for over 6 months (not like me!) and although I have made plausible excuses, I think its a bit of a giveaway!!

Work is a little easier. I can work from home often and am actually based in a different office than the majority of my team. My manager is really good at allowing doc / hospital appointment without asking why, plus he's male so will prob not think down the pregnancy route until I tell him!

Cant wait to start telling people though - and then shopping for baby things!!

We?ve told my parents and I?ve told my best friend at work, but that?s it. I think we will probably tell people after 10 weeks, although a few of my friends know we have been trying, so I think its going to be hard not to tell them when I see them!
Especially as it?s my birthday next week and we normally go out for dinner!

As for junk food cravings, I could currently eat chips for every meal, every day, but that?s not going to happen is it? DH has me eating v healthily but I really don?t feel like it!

Feel very nauseous and tired today and trying to get my head around work, but its just not happening! Just been told I have to go to a meeting in Hamburg in 2 weeks with my MD ? lucky me! Hoping MS doesn?t make an appearance?.
Thinking about telling me line manager too, just because I am really not my normal self at the moment and I can tell he?s suspicious, plus I don?t want him to think I?m just slacking because im a bit slow/tired etc? but also very aware that its v sooon.

Any thoughts?

hello everyone - I am back to mumsnet after 3yrs absence as now pregnant with DC3! These are the only times I post really as I need to "talk" babies all the time and DH gets bored if I bang on about it too much!

Had a BFP on Sunday so the due date is 23/9/12. What I wanted to know, as I can't remember from last time, is when I contact Dr or do I just phone midwife direct? Now, or wait for a few weeks??

So - congrats to everyone on here with our Sept babies. And my thoughts are with anyone having a hard time right now - big hugs.

Jakeys ouch!!! Hope you get lots of rest while you?re off work.

holls I think I have a bit of thickening too but I?m sure it?s just excess food in my case!

Plumsie yey that?s great news!

alien I am at least a stone heavier that when I got pregnant with DS1 and I am so scared the mw is going to tell me off. So far I?ve not been eating too much crap but I am going to start swimming twice a week as I loved it when pregnant last time.

missus I?m so sorry to hear your news ? good luck for the future

rusulka you must be having your scan about now ? I have everything crossed for you.

tedmundo where I am you go to the docs first and they refer you to the midwives

So far I've told you lot, my other baby forum and my friend at work (I can definitely trust her to keep quiet and it's just in case I faint or something like that)

I've been so tempted to tell my parents but they were a nightmare last time so they are not knowing until after I have my early scan on the 12/2 (will be 9 weeks)

I'm having lunch with two of my besties next week so will tell them then as I won't be able to keep it quiet!! Oh and I've told 3 of my NCT friends - so actually loads of people !

We're telling my family tonight, dad's 65th birthday. Close friends at dps family nuns next week. Everyone knows we were trying, everyone, I was just so excited and couldn't help it which now means I'm owing, avoiding questions etc...! Got mw app next week so will wait for scan I think, unless it is weeks away in which case I might consider a private scan.

Thinking of you rusulka x w

We've told my parents (mainly cos I had been bothering about feeling cack so had to ring my mum!!) and my bro and sis live at home so they know. Have told Head, Deputy Head at work (mainly in the hope that they stop me rushing around but doesn't really seem to have worked). Telling in laws at the weekend cos feel guilty my mum and stepdad knowing but them not. Other than that, keeping it well under wraps until first scan.

My taste buds have gone crazy. And I read that I am meant to be making more saliva but actually I feel like my mouth is pretty dry. Am drinking loads more water than I usually do.

Amazing how much things change - and so quickly. Awake at 5.23am today. DH suggested lie in on Sat; somehow I don't think that'll happen!!!!!

Wow this is a busy thread!

I should be due 22 September, if someone can please add me to a stats list

I'm a bit nervous to be adding myself, as I was pg due in may, but mc at 11 weeks. So I'm very nervous this time. I doubt I'll be able to feel it's properly real until I see a heartbeat on a screen. Fingers crossed I can have an early scan.

I had also been unwell since June with what is now believed to be a type of migraine - I feel "dizzy" all the time (although it's not the "correct" type of dizziness for inner ear etc), knackered and faintness. I do get headaches, but not migraine headaches iyswim. Recently saw a different dr for work, who said migraine, epilepsy and depression are all "points of the same triangle" and I was somewhere in the middle, given my history of depression and strong epilepsy and migraine history in family. He suggested a specialist MRI and an EEG - but my doc won't send me for these now or found I'm pg. So still off work (over 6moths!) and now also can't take the migraine prophylaxis meds either

But anyway, I have everything crossed and praying this one all goes okay!

Hi everyone!
I have been reading all these messages with great interest and so had to join in!

I found out I was pregnant over a week ago, due on the 10th September. Its my second pregnancy, as I had an ectopic in August, which was horrible and affected me quite badly. So I am very excited but also very very nervous and anxious to be pregnant again.
Due to the previous ectopic, the EPAU told me to contact them directly for a 6 week scan, which i went to on Monday, and we found out that the little embryo is where it should be this time, thank GOD! The doctor said it is quite small, the whole thing (including the sac) was only 7mm, but i think that is because I was probably more like 5/5 and a half weeks. So too small for a heart beat yet, but I am going back on the 31st for another scan to hopefully see a heartbeat!!

Very sorry to hear some of the sad stories, I hope you are all feeling ok, big hugs go out to you all!

In terms of symptons etc.
Sore, big boobs, tiredness, really hungry all the time, aches and cramps, but only slight, but no real cravings, and no ms.
