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 :)

macaroons yeah my wee is like a blokes wee too!

iph hoping you have a fighter in there!

welcome and congrats to all the new joiners! :)

i feel a little less sick today...

i have such a bad feeling that this isnt going to work out for us and that something is going to be seriously wrong with bean... or that its already gone inside me.. but as i type this i am looking at my perfectly healthy and lovely little girl that i worried he exact same things about when i was carrying her.... wish i could switch my brain off sometimes! pregnancy is such a paranoid time!

crowette · 24/01/2012 09:48

Hi there, can I join in too?

I got my BFP on Wednesday, and am now 6+1 weeks according to my dates. Due 17th-20th Sept, my cycles have been anything between 27 and 41 days, so can't be totally precise, but we only managed to have sex just the once due to overdoing things at work, and having basically given up trying! That was xmas eve, so looks like I ovulated just after that, anything from CD13 to CD 18. This will be my 3rd DC, but first with my OH - I have 2 DDs from my first marriage, aged 18 and 11 (I'll be 40 in a few weeks), so I've forgotten everything and it's like being a first timer again! We've been TTC for 18 months, had an early MC in the first month and a couple of possible CPs since. This is the furthest I've got, and so far, so good.

Not been to the doctor yet, as I need to register as I'm in a different area now, in the process of doing that now.

Symptoms include heavy, tender boobs, stuffy nose, increased sense of smell and some mild constipation and increased wind Blush. I've also heard that strange dreams are quite common, and last night I woke OH up laughing loudly in my sleep, because I was dreaming that I had very bad wind and he was trying to 'cork me up' and I was farting on his head as I fought him! I've never talked in my sleep, let alone laughed out loud in it, apparently it was a right belly laugh and I vaguely remember laughing til my sides hurt in my dream Hmm Also more concentrated urine (smelly during the night) and increased discharge, I've lost count of the amount of times I've run to the loo to do a knicker check due to sudden dampness and the many pairs of knickers that get thrown in the wash during the day! No real nausea yet.

I had some light pink discharge and mild cramps the day after my BFP, which caused major panic in my head, but now seems it was just the bean snuggling in more :) POAS again yesterday, just to make sure, and got a stronger result, so feeling much more positive now.

I've no idea where to put myself on the stats list though Confused

EthelredOnAGoodDay · 24/01/2012 09:50

tinker I am the same. So paranoid that something's going to be wrong. Cannot wait for the scan. Only 4 and a bit weeks to go.... Grin

TinkerMaloo · 24/01/2012 09:58

its awful isnt it! i try to be reasonable and try not to worry but its just automatic... dont have a scan date yet but have my 1st MW app tomorrow so hopefully will get scanned sooner rather than later!

sasslejaney84 · 24/01/2012 10:24

im due sept the 3rd!! Im sooo happy but TERRIFIED!!!!

I have my dd from a previous relationship and she is going to be 8 when this baby arrives!! going to be a bit of a change of pace in a few months time!!

has anyone had trapped wind thats caused pain?? I have but i finally have my appt with my midwife next weds so happy!!

kellzi · 24/01/2012 10:47

Have just gone to the wee and a tiny bit of brown discharge( sorry tmi), I know the 8 week mark says lots of. Moving around and sex on Sunday night could be the cause, but I am now shitting myself that could be the start of mc,as I had this in oct but was only 5 weeks then, now 8+3, I have gone through this pg, saying what will be will be, but now so worried :-(

LittleSpade · 24/01/2012 12:31

Hi all,

Apologies for being quiet for a few days - don't go online much at the weekends and had a family funeral yesterday :(

Fingers crossed for a strong bean iph and kellzi hope everything turns out ok.

I went to an Early Pregnancy Information Group at our local birthing centre on Sat. It was lovely to meet some other people going through the same thing in our local area, meet some of the mw's and look around the birthing centre. Although it was lovely I wasn't totally sure at the time whether i want to give birth there or at the local hospital as its my first and i'm worried that no-one knows how the birth will go. But read some reviews online and everyone is raving about the birthing centre and saying that if you need to be transferred to hospital then they'll do it in about the same time the specialist would see you if you were at the hospital anyway.

Think I'm going to choose the birthing centre but anyone else got any experiences of birthing centres v hospitals?

Feeling quite sick today so should probably go and get some lunch.

I also get backache from time to time and have noticed a change in the colour of my wee (tmi).

york67 · 24/01/2012 14:46

Hi. I am due 27th September. Quite stressed as unplanned and also a little overweight. Plus I am 44!

TinkerMaloo · 24/01/2012 15:42

york67 if this is of any help my mum was 43 when she had my little brother who was an "accident" and she was petrified that she wouldnt cope... he is 22 now and the relationship they have is the closest and most loving out of all of us.

whats meant to be will be!?

lurkingmurking · 24/01/2012 16:23

Iph so sorry to hear this - I hope you are ok

mad I did hypnobirthing with my DS and it was fantastic

whatevertheweather I have terrible backache on and off. My labour with DS was a lot of back pain so I think it's preparing me - bit early thanks!

kellzi fingers crossed that all is ok

littlespade I had DS in a birthing centre - it was amazing - I'd 100% go for it.

I also have horrendous wind and no appetite! Today all I've had is 3 macaroons - I'm just not hungry! Going to force in sandwich in a minute and then we've got roast chicken for dinner yum!

lurkingmurking · 24/01/2012 17:35

I am sooooooo tired....that is all!

york67 · 24/01/2012 17:48

Thanks Tinker. I must admit my mum was 42 when she me too. I think I was always her favourite in a way.
Guess I am more worried about the medical stuff and also dh's reaction.

LittleSpade · 24/01/2012 18:12

Thanks for boosting my confidence lurkingmurking. Was the DS you refer to your first?

iph hope you're having a better day today and you get some good news at your appointment tomorrow.

Rusulka · 24/01/2012 19:15

Iph fingers crossed. Echoing everyone else in hoping you've got a ferociously sticky bean in there that won't give up!

Kellzi I think you might be in the same position as me- I had sex on the 9th (with no ta-dah from DH) and again on 10th (with ta-dah) and started spotting on 11th. Unbelievably STILL spotting, so just assume that I have a tender cervix, and it would have stopped already if I hadn't had the probe at the early scan rammed up there last week. I'm sure you'll be fine, but any worries, see your doc and they should refer you to EPU for an early scan.

Still worried that there might be extra babies in my tubes that weren't checked on scan. I know this is probably ridiculous, but I can't help being concerned. Wish I'd asked them to check.

Mzbee one of DH's friends is getting married in Bournemouth on 12/09- 10 days after I'm due. He would really like to go, but realistically, !!!!! Plus we don't own a car, so not sure how it would work. I'm sure everything will work out for the best for you though. It is what it is, and what will happen will happen. I try to be philosophical about it- knowing it's out of your hands can be quite liberating!

Dorita75 · 24/01/2012 20:27

Tinker I've got my first mw appointment tomorrow too, can't wait, am hoping it will make this feel real! Hopefully the scan date won't be too long...it's my birthday on 10th Feb and I'm trying to rearrange seeing friends I'd normally catch up with but they're wondering why I'm suggesting mid to late Feb instead of my bday! Not drinking wine will require some serious lying and top notch excuses....

As others have said, wee very dark in morning yes. Also very farty Smile

Thanks for raspberry sorbet tip (can't remember who said it - need to keep a notepad next to computer!) I got some on way home and it was just what I needed!

Separate thread for stats seems good idea. The Aug thread I'm on stopped at 1000 posts and had to be restarted as Aug2....

clarescouse · 24/01/2012 20:31

Hi all, I found out on Sunday and think I'm due 25th September :) This is my first pregnancy and I don't even know how to change a nappy so go a lot to learn lol.

My sister is due on the 10th September so it's going to be a busy month in my family :)

Congratulations all x

Dorita75 · 24/01/2012 20:44

Welcome clarescouse not in Liverpool by any chance are you?! I am.

First for me too...have managed to avoid changing my niece's nappy since she was born a year ago...my brother is now saying I should get some practice but I'm happy to just deal with it when I have to!

clarescouse · 24/01/2012 20:53

Hi Dorita75 yep in Liverpool.

My other sister had a baby in December and I was terrified picking my niece up haha, really looking forward to holding mine though :)

Dorita75 · 24/01/2012 22:26

Oh my god, have just been reading this thread - it's bloody hilarious!!

It's just listed under 'pregnancy' talk

The TMI pregnancy complaints you can't tell your colleagues

Bakeroo · 24/01/2012 23:28

Hi all, it's been a while since I've written but thought I'd update. everything going well here, despite there being that little bit of blood on my 6 week scan I never saw anything on the outside, thank god, I know I would have freaked even the nurse told me to expect it and said it was nothing to worry about. My symptoms are still still sore boobs, although not as sore but very bg and heavy. My wee is also darker than normal and a bit smelly (tmi sorry) I am totally knackered and am having some ms each day although not actually sick. I could sleep for a week, it's really hard to stop myself at work saying' I'm so tired' all the time. I also have this little pooch protruding and someone asked me today if I was pregnant! I said no but am scared I wn't be able to hide it for 3.5 more weeks! It is normal to show a bit now? I was pregnant back in Sept and got to 8 weeks before ectopic.... Would this mean I'd show more easily this time? I'm trying to be healthy with my food but am eating a little more as hungrier.
iph I am so sorry...thinking of you.
Xx

missfoks · 24/01/2012 23:40

Hey everybody,

It is still VERY early days - and I haven't seen a midwife yet, but I estimate my due date is sometime around the 21st of September.

This will be my first baby - so I have mixed feelings, I am excited and terrified at the same time.

:)

oikopolis · 24/01/2012 23:43

Hi ladies, can I join?? Due 24 Sept.

No symptoms except a) hungry and thirsty all the time, b) peeing at 3:45am every morning without fail, c) keep falling asleep before 8pm in front of telly much to DH's amusement, and d) OMG soooo bloated/constipated/uncomfortable in the tum!

Hi all, day two of the plague like cold here. Feel absolutely shocking.it is almost like flu, but not quite that bad, but think that bean must be sapping all my life force (IYKWIMGrin) which is leading me to feel so unbeliveably crap. Try your best all of you to not get ill as based on this experience, it will be BAD!!!Grin

hi to all the new ladies!
