July 2019

[gne123]

Hello, I'm new to Mumsnet... still figuring it out... but we have just found out we are expecting a little bundle of joy in July... so thought I'd reach out to other mums expecting then too... xxx

Hi Ladies!
Hope it's ok to join! 😊
We got our BPF Friday and Sat 1-2 weeks clearblue. Super excited but also super nervous. This is our 2nd baby, little girl is 2.
Struggled with pregnancy last time purely due to worry! And I definitely feel pregnant this time, obviously am but keep on thinking is going to happen. Like us all I suppose! X

**keep on thinking something is going to happen!

(Note to self - spell check! 😂)

Has anyone else had really bad lower back pain? I can barely move!

@robynclen yep! All week! X

Cant wait until the firdt trimester is over, if im not throwing up or in pain im crying or shouting at someone... lol

😂 it's so stressful isn't it!
I'm trying to tell myself "you have had 2 first response, a 1-2 clearblue, why are you fussing". Bloody hate being pregnant 😂

Does anyone else have itchy boobs? 😂

delilah7 I’d say sudacreme is totally fine! You can put it on an an actual baby so don’t think it’d be too harmful for one in your tum.

Welcome kidsandcats! I also have a 2yo, boy though ! :)

He has obviously been listening more than we realise as today at the in-laws he said to
His Granda ‘this is my mummy, she’s got earrings and a baby in her tummy’ 🤣 keeping all fingers and toes crossed even more that everything goes to plan now that he is on the case! 😳

regenaphalange89 of course! Forgot about the dating scan. That’s good, totally jumping the gun and a long way to go
But, i really wouldn’t like to be induced unnecessarily! I think I’d refuse! 😮

@Winona1 I don’t but my friend who I around 8 weeks is going insane with how itchy hers are! x

Hi ladies! Please could I join? I’m 5+4 due on 24 July. I had a blood test to confirm three faint urine tests. Wasn’t told about HCG at the time. It’s my first pregnancy so I’m totally clueless.
I have sore boobs and they look swollen and I’m bloated and maybe a little more tired than usual but otherwise I feel ok. No sickness at all. I’ve notice a sharpish pain on my right side. Not all the time and not every day but it worries me. Is this normal? Maybe I should get another blood test to see if HCG has gone up since last week?

@bemybabe it sounds like round ligament pains. Google it and see if they are what you feel xx

I'm feeling so sick today but don't know whether it's morning sickness or a bug that Dh and dd have.

I had horrific sickness with dd. Hoping this pregnancy is easier!

I’m so bloated and farty right now. I can’t sleep. Meanwhile, still been feeling like I’m on a boat and my boobs are so sore and emitting so much heat that they can be used as radiators

@Mrstobe90 Thanks. I looked it up and it sounds similar but surely way too early. It’s also starting to be there the whole time. I’m going to assume it’s just normal pulling and/or gas. If it’s still there in the morning or worse I will call the dr.
Sorry you feel so sick. It’s a good sign though right.

DD2 just came into our room to ask for medicine as she has a sore throat... and now my brain is whirring and I can't get back to sleep! We told my two older dc (from my previous marriage) about the pregnancy as we were so excited and we just wanted to share it with them. But we SWORE them to secrecy. I then get a text from a mum friend saying 'X (her kid) has its told me Y's (my kid) mummy is having a baby?! Is it true or just kid talk?' 😩 I just texted back 'haha wishful thinking I think!' And now I feel awful as I've basically made DD out to be a liar 😂 Just too early for it to spread though. Will be happy for people to know once we've seen peanut on a scan on the 9th Dec.

@Flyfisherlady thank god im not the only one!!!

Joining this thread! So scared and nervous, trying to stay positive, h + h 9 months to every one of us!

Anybody still taking baths? I know it's not allowed to be really hot water but I'm craving a long soak!

I’ve had baths but I don’t like them hot so they’re just warm. I would avoid hot baths :)

We don’t have a bath in our current bathroom so I don’t have that worry! X

My doctor did baths were okay. I just have them a little cooler and be careful getting in and out x

Hi lovelies, I hope you are all feeling well, can I join please. I have just taken a test 2-3 weeks due end of July. Second child but I can’t remember first time around, I have very sore boobies and started to feel nausea which I didn’t have first time, how did you tell your partners? I have yet as I wanted to be sure first

Congrats @Mayjane5 ! I took my test with DP so we found out together. It was a real squinter and we were snatching it back and forth from each other, trying to make sure we were seeing what we thought we were!
Can you wrap the test up and give it to him as a present? Xx
