Anyone Due in August 2004?

[M2T]

Yes I have finally started this thread. A bit apprehensive though as I'm still getting period pains.

I have worked out that baby number 2 should be due on 7 August.

Anyone else joining me??

snigger

I am deeply hurt and saddend by your sniggering M2T.

Sorry...

smirk

snap Dinosaur 38 too - thought I was teh only old fart hanging in here. I'll be nearly 39 by the time the baby pops but you would have thought 79 judging by the Dr's reaction to my age....

M2T and quackers hope you continue not to feel sick with everything being alright. I seem to be having one good and one very bad day. Yesterday didn't feel too bad at all then by 6pm, all through the night and now today am having to walk around with carrier bags 9jsut in case) what a pleasant picture that conjures up. Dh is also annoying me he is on the run up to Christmas and out on the beer all the time except we live in the country and guess who is the taxi service!! am mustering up the energy to drive him back into town (40 mins) so he can spend all day sipping bubbly on a yatch to pick him up at the end of the day to take him to friends for a BBQ and home again, same tomorrow, then the ferry run to work Monday so he can pick the car up he left on thursday...rant rant

Feel better now, normally wouldn't mind but when feel sick - sitting in a car is not pleasant..

Have good weekends everybody...

NCT runs a maternity hire wear scheme -- I went and hired 5 pairs of trousers & a swimsuit for £6, yesterday. I promised the lady I would publicise it; It's such good value because I was going to spend £6 on buying a 2nd hand swimsuit on Ebay that I couldn't even try on before buying! So if any of you ladies need any maternity wear, maybe try to contact your local branch of NCT first!

oh dinosaur - you make me feel so young (think smiley) do you have any other children have seen you posting alot but have memory like a sieve at the best of times but now is complete blancmange.

how is everybody today? shouldn't be complaining but am sooooo sick (reassures me that everything should be OK but on the other hand just wish it would go away)

I belong on the july thread really but have just popped over to read this one. I feel so pukey - I could moan about it all night!! I just heave and retch but nothing comes up. How long will this go on for? And I never seem to fancy anything to eat. Moan, moan, moan!!

Morning all!

Well thats me 6wks + 3! Feel a wee bit sick today but nothing much. In fact I am having such a lack of symptoms that I did another pg test just to check. The 2nd line appeared faster than the 1st one! lol.... no need to worry about the level of HCG flowing through me then. Still can't believe I'm pg.... one day of bad sickness so far!! With ds it went from 5/6wks to 13 wks.

Dinosaur.... did you see my post about how many weeks pg you are?? ...... I do believe you are about the same as me! Don't you be sneaking extra weeks on here and there!

Am feeling really confused today - am so happy to be pregnant after all the trying and m/c last time etc. but have been feeling so sick and tired and generally ill that I really cannot function properly and am only 6 weeks, have ages to go yet. So today went and had acupuncture for the nausea, now am paranoid it will have done some harm (had m/c last time when had acupuncture). Cannot believe have risked losing baby and still feel sick. DH is really not interested - do what you want but if it all goes wrong we are not trying again!!!
Am now having pains in lower abdomen but could just be my imagination...
Wasn't like this first time - then I was sick, miserable for 9 months and that was it but now having had m/c am paranoid about everything.
Am also thinking of leaving work as cannot function, think or anything.
Sorry to winge, I should be so happy .....

So sorry you're feeling so bad Sibble. I would have hoped your DH would be a little more understanding but I don't know anything about him so you can ignore that if you like! More importantly, did you tell the acupuncturist you were pg? You will get past this awful stage. I had awful sickness all yesterday, thank god I was at home as I really just couldn't face anything. Iam off sick from work and trying to get anothr sick note today. I hate my job, it's very stressful, so I too would like to leave I will probably put up for another 3 or 4 months. Any pains in your abdomen are streching if they are shortlived. t 6 weeks exactly I had awful pains, thougth I had lost it but it must have been stretching.
Anyway, take care, be kind to yourself xxx

Hi folks!

Sibble - I feel boody awful today! One day good, one day bad is the pattern.
Men can be so useless with all this.... they just don't relate to the early pregnancy as a real baby that you would mourn the loss of. My DH is such a simple creature: If he can't see it, or feel it then it just isn't that important yet!
MEN!
I don't think acupuncture could trigger a miscarriage could it??? I know what you mean about the slightest twinge etc etc.... I haven't had a miscarriage (well....suspected one at 16yrs old, but thats another story).... reading everyone elses stories has really made me so paranoid!

Has anyone had their 12 wk scan and it showed no heartbeat.... but didn't have any bleeding or cramps before then?? You know.... just felt pregnant with normal symptoms so the news comes totally out of the blue?? I'm trying not to depress myself but I've got a baaaaaaaad feeling about this scan.

Thanks everybody - am trying to put things into perspective and be happy - was miserable for whole of pregnancy with DS shall blame hormones - last time when had m/c drove to edge of cliff and thought about driving off and with DS kept ringing clinic to book abortion - something weird happens to my brain so know have to sit back and deal with it. feel slightly more positive today as nothing happened after acupunture (sickness didn't even subside), will take work in my stride - break for christmas next week then as in NZ have compulsory break to 5th Jan, have weeks holiday booked at end of Jan then hopefully will start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Have started myself a little star chart with DS for getting through another day!!!

DH is not known for his compassion or thoughtfulness - got the hump this morning because I was not interested in sex - had just thrown up!!!says I have just used him for a baby (could be true!!) did think should come back next time having not cleaned my teeth - might change his mind (think very wicked smiley).

M2T - I think your thoughts about the scan are normal - we all worry, I guess it is us trying to protect our baby but also protect ourselves. I cannot say do not worry becasue I cannot wait for my scan, then the next one, then the next one...to reassure me that everything is alright. Your feelings are normal.

Quackers - know what you mean about work - am just not interested. I took the job after m/c to occupy my mind, now have got used to the money - DH for all his faults thinks I should just leave and 'chill', so am hoping to give up when over the 12 week milestone as don't want to give up now and everything goes pear shaped. Enjoy your time off and push for another certificate.

Take care everybody. - From a happy sibble.

Just a quickie, on my way out. Sibble, hope you;re ok today chuck. Hormones are powerful aren't they. I feel like I have constant PMT.

M2T, don't worry about the scan. I did get to 15 weeks and had my scan but it was not a shock at all to find that baby had died. I just 'knew'. The hospital I go to now scans routinly at 12 weeks instead of 15/16. You sound very healthily pg to me!!!

Thanks Quacks.

I know you probably don't want to dredge it all up again and tell me to bugger off if you want, but did you have any bleeding before that or had the pregnancy just stopped with no signals?
God how morbid am I???

Do you like my festive name? Although I'm feeling sick again today so not in much of a festive mood!

Woohoo Beety!
Is everybody happy about it then?
She must only be about 5 or 6 weeks?? I am 6wks + 5 today. And counting every second!!!

Hi everyone!

Confessed to DH yesterday that I'm feeling much more sick this pregnancy than in previous pregnancies - he's now convinced I'm having twins!!

Oh don't Jinglesaur!! There are twins on both sides of our family!! Scary eh????

Do you have a date for your scan yet?

Like your name change.... d'you like mine?

GladTidings - twins on both sides of the family, eh? Now that is scary...!

I have my booking appointment tomorrow, may get a date for scan then I suppose, but as you pointed out I am still only 7 and a bit weeks so ages to wait still...

Have discovered best way to make self feel better is to eat large meals. Will be size of house if carry on at this rate...

VERY Scary! I'd have to sell one!

I don't have my booking appointment with the MW until 29th Dec! I'm hoping I get a date then.

Yes, the large meals are compensation aren't they. I am 11 stone just now.... I'm guessing at 26 stone by August at this rate. I have stopped smoking too which isn't helping!

Well, congrats on stopping smoking anyway.

I find it very easy not to smoke when pregnant as the smell of anyone else's cigarette makes me feel ill but I have friends who did not have that lucky side-effect and found it difficult or impossible to give up.

I guess there is not much point in worrying too much now about weight. I was 10st 4 when I last weighed myself. I tend to go more by how tight my clothes are feeling - can still get into my trousers but will need to go bra shopping very soon!

Oh it's you Sibble!!! Couldn't work it out on July thread!
'Gladtidings', no I had no bleeding at all, which is why I was clinging to the hope that all was ok at my scan. I just had lost all feelings of pgcy. I know by that stage the symptoms are gone but with DD I was quite big by 12 weeks, certainly had a bump, but had nothing. The doc listened for a heartbeat twice and put no heartbeat down to her equipment! They wouldn't scan me either, now I just ring up and they see me

So sorry about that Quacks.... just sounds terrible.

Not sibble..... try again.
