Second pregnancy

[mummynatty]

Hey this is my second pregnancy, my son is three the end on July. I have just found out I'm pregnant, but it just doesn't feel really and my midwife appointments not till 3rd July, I'm worried and scared about getting to excited about being pregnant again, I've been feeling ill, sore breasts, really tried, which I never had with my son ( this baby is with a new partner) and now I have a tummy ache not sure if its my body getting ready for my baby to grow, or I ate too much at lunch because I'm eating quite a bit, or something's wrong, I have a feeling something's gonna go wrong and it just doesn't seem really either as I'm not even seeing my midwife till 3rd July and have no idea when I'm having a scan either! Any help would be greatly taken :)

same boat here!!
2nd here too. my dd is 14m now and there will be about 22m between them.
reckon i am only about 4 weeks at the mo. how far are you??
i haven't even made an apt yet. did you just ring up and ask for an appt when you estimate you will be around 8-10 weeks? i was just going to do that.
in my area they do a 6 week first check but think that's only for new mums
totally with you on the stretching pains. i never had anything like that first time round but def feeling some weird stretching going on. my body is v broken from first time lol!

same here this is my second pregnancy, with my lil boy (who will be 2 in September) i didnt really feel much at all alittle breast ache and alittle pain right at the beginning but thats it, this pregnancy is very different been feeling sick all day everyday, i cant even look at my breasts without the shouting pain at me lol and ALOT of stomach pain.. it lasted about 2-3 weeks NON STOP and at times hurt really bad, im always tired and even find short walks hard work, i can also feel the baby fluttering, i have my first scan on the 27th of this month, i about 8-9 weeks preg but i think i could be preg with twins as all symtons are happening quicker so i will let you guys know :D xx

I'm another one. My DS is 19 months now and i'm 6 weeks.

I am so tired and i have even reverted back to newborn days of when toddler baby sleeps, you sleep/rest. I think this is pretty normal.

I too have been having really severe and strong cramps, which is always worrying. And bloating so much that i've started wearing my maternity jeans already as nothig else is comfortable.

I'm trying to stay relaxed as possible but where i am you dont see a midwife for booking in until around 9 weeks and they arrange your scan then. Its a lot bit crap really as first trimester is when you need that reassurance.

Well don't really know how far gone I am, I think period was about a month or month I. A half ago, but I called doctor as wasn't sure weather to call midwife first or doctor, plus I was worried about the test as it was only from the pound shop as really short of money ATM! But did two and both came up positive straight away. Doctor said there's no reason to go in as test are pretty right anyways nowadays and you not need go in if your worried or need to ask about anything. So I called midwife (they gave me number) and left a message saying my name and number. And just explained that I didn't really know what happens next, they phoned me back later that day and set up an appointment for 3rd so I think be about 8 weeks maybe lol and then they set up scan then.

Well I'm in devon that's how they do thinks done here not sure about anywhere else

They work out about how far you are if you know when your last period was or when your symptoms started, they do it roughly and then ovo when you go for your first scan they will now how many weeks you are or if you really don't know, as with my son they send me for a scan pretty soon after I found out iwas pregnant!

Yeah I feel bit broke too feel like I can't do too much :/ my partner is really looking after me and telling me to just relax (his first baby) have to go out later as got leaflets to deliver and really not looking forward to it :(

Yeah I have fluttering feeling to not sure weather it's me or its the baby, cause I know they say you shouldn't feel your second baby till about 12 weeks? But I did feel fluttering before I was pregnant too :s

Good luck with your scan let us know how it goes :) hope all is well

Yeah they should make your booking in appointment sooner really so then you don't worrie yourself :)

It's lovley having mummy's to chats too going through the same thing as me as I haven't friends :( so I don't feel so alone now :) xx

Feeling better now as think I was sick with worry just relaxing and sitting in wait for midwife on 3rd July aggggess need something to take mind off of that time lol

soooo... just for a bit of fun....what are you going to do differently second time round???? both pregnancy and after??
few things come.to mind for me..do not eat for 2. normal calorie consumption is fine. will try to put dc2 does for nap from an earlier age to avoid having a toddler that only sleeps on boob or not at all lol!!!x

Glad you feeling better mummynatty

This time round.... Definitely put DC2 down in cot/bed for naps so dont end up with them only able to fall asleep in carseat, buggy or chair. Also, i'm going to leave the housework and just enjoy my DC. And then drink wine

Thanks cravingcake

Well dc1 was a great baby lol but don't want to big it up too much as this only will prob be a pain, well I have a partner that is going to be there with me every step of the way this time and will watch what I eat as just ate everything lol.

But will start everything at a young age such as putting dc2 for a nap.

Hopping dc2 is not a fussy eater as dc1 wasn't, but I know I'll have it bad this time lol

Haha sounds good about leaving the house work :) leave it for the men, mine has offer t do it while I'm pregnant yay! :D haha needs me to show him though lol

Where about in country are you? I'm in exmouth which is devon lol :)

Knacked just got back from walking my son to nursery 30 mins there then took me about 40 to walk back (up hill) lol. But I left house an hour earlyer than I should :/, so took son to libuary and done his nursery work and read him book :) then brought some ginger bread men for his lunch :)

I though I'd pick up some books on pregnancy week by week as feel like reading up on stuff :) did do much reading when was pregnant with dc1.

What you all up to today? I'm guessing you all work lol I'm just lazy now sat at home about to read bit of the book then out to delevier some of this leaflets lol :) hope your all well and having good day

no i am home today. mum has taken dd out for a bit so i can rest. dd still gets up between 2-4 times a night so exhausted. really need to sort her sleeping before dc2arrives!

Yeah bet your more relaxed than me right now lol

Have ds next to me driving me made trying to read and he can't decide what he wants to do :/ playing on iPad then wants to watch cars on tv then cbebbies lol going mums for tea tonight hopefully so no cooking as not a lot of food in ATM :)

Got any snacks you enjoy? As trying to stay clear of chocolate, chirps stuff like that and fizzy drinks lol trying to be good

i am adamant i am going to eat healthy and normal this pregnancy. sticking to 2000 cals per day.
as i had hg with dd i initially lost 2 stone but then put 3 back on when i controlled the sickness which is fine as i only put a stone or so on overall but certainly don't want to be putting 3 stone on if i don't have hg this time (pls pls pls no hg)
what about u? did you put on a lot last time?

Oh your being good I'm not gonna count my calories lol.
Didn't last time just ate what ever but was careful of things that I couldn't eat, I even didn't eat peanuts and peanut butter which is my fav lol .

Yeah I put on a stone I think but the thing is I was 10 before I have ds1 then went to 11, but this time I think I'm about 11 :s so bit worried how much m gonna put on.

Where about are you anyways?

Does anyone know if your boobs are meant to get heaver and like harder if you get me as, mine are lol
