Early days... Babies due May 2010. Lets start our journeys togethers now!!

[newmomma]

Hiya,

Just thought it might be nice to start a thread for those of us due in May 2010. I know its only early days but I followed one of these whilst being pg with DS1 and it was invaluable.

Couldn't find one for my dates this time round (might be wrong?) so thought it would be nice to get together, share stories and follow the progress with some others in the same time-period.

I'm due 6/7 May I think. Didn't really plan to have such a short gap between DS1 and DC2 but also didn't do much to prevent it. (IYSWIM!)

Have started feeling nauseous already(!) which I can't believe as I didn't have it nearly as early as this last time round. No sickness last time and a very enjoyable pregnancy - so am hoping for the same again this time round. Slight disaster with giving birth 2 weeks early with no hospital notes or hospital bag, two hours from home and at a family funeral...(!) So am going to stay AT HOME near the end this time round. Really looking forward to giving birth again. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience last time and looking forward to hearing other peoples stories and sharing our pg's together!

oh duritzfan so sorry to hear of your troubles. 9 mc's? have they given you any idea why it might keep happening? fingers crossed you have better luck really soon. x

duritzfan - I'm so sorry, what an awful thing to have gone through so many times x

Can I join you ladies. I'm due 30th May - I think. Am feeling absolutely crap, know I should be embracing it etc as all for a good reason but I've felt so bad for weeks now, it's wearing me down. My dp's going to be away for a few weeks & I'm dreading it, have never felt this needy before it's a bit embarassing. When I was pg with my dd (now 4) I felt sick & crappy for a few weeks & then just tired but this is so much worse & all I keep hearing is how some people feel like that all the way through - Noooooo! Anyway hope you are all feeling better than me!

Hi everyone,

I haven't been around much lately - I am nervously waiting for my scan on Tuesday, but I'm 12 weeks today and just had a MW appointment - and she managed to find a heartbeat after a good 12-15 minutes of looking, so that's stopped me feeling quite so nervous about the scan.....

hope everyone else is ok, although I was very sorry to hear about the sad news too

Hi Ladies, (new to this)

My story:-

Trying for over 3yrs, had 3x IUI all failed.

We had IVF this August/Sept and 3 fertilised eggs, had 2 put back and both embies had taken, had sickness very early on. Had scan 9th Oct and confirmed twins. On the scan one of the sacks was a little smaller, we was told that it may not make it.

Had 2nd scan both hearts beating away, the smaller sack still looked smaller than Twin A but it was still alive so it didn't matter!

Went for our 3rd scan today 19th Oct and only found 1 heart beat, we've miscarried one of our twins. (Non ID twins)

I'm due 24th May now with 1 baby not 2, not sure how to feel, i'm happy that we have 1 baby but sad that it's twin has miscarried.

symptoms, i've been very unwell, only sick the once but there as been many days where i just couldn't get out of bed due to the nausea and tiredness, I was warned that having twins would bring much more sickness, I really don't like this early pregnancy feelings it's knock me for 6, but i'm grateful of what i've got growing inside. Someone mentioned sore boobs and can't shower due to them being painful, well i'm in the same boat they bloody kill.

Good luck to all those who are pregnant!!

I'm in Nottingham if anyone wants to chat.

DB240877 WelcomeIm not too far away from you im in Leicester. Really pleased to hear you are expecting after so much trying, sorry to hear you lost babys twin. Really sad, but glad you have 1 in there!! I had my nuchal scan today but I am earlier than g.p said, so couldnt complete the testing, good news theres a baby in there with a heartbeat and very surreal...its really there. But im a bit scared because they found an ovarian cyst, dr said it be fine, cant operate while pregnant, but he thinks it should dissappear. Im petrified though as iam classed high risk for ovarian cancer, we carry the brca gene (lost my mum and aunties to oc). I'm due for my genetic testing this year , buT wasnt expecting to find that on my scan! Im sure its very common, but under the circumstances im panicking!!

mustbemadno3 sorry to hear that, and I understand how worried you are esp with family history but try to take comfort in the fact that doccy didnt seem worried. Cysts are very common, so just sit back and try and enjoy your pregnancy! I had a 10week scan yesterday and nuchal in 2weeks which i'm terrified about!

I'm sorry about your news too, there is always someone worse of then yourself, and when you hear other peoples stories it just makes you think.! I suffer with Cyst and have done all my adult life, last yr i had one that burst and turned into a blood clot, which was on my left ovary it killed, i was off work for nearly 2 mths.

We have a nuchal scan on 12 nov, i'm so nervous! How did they get your dates wrong?

It's all so scary this pregnancy business, I think i'm like this because of how long it's taken to get here and how we've got here.

so your due dates beginning of may next year ?

speak soon

xx

Mustbemadno3 - I had ovarian cysts with my previous pregnancy. In fact I collapsed at home in front of my 3 yo and 2 yo as I was i so much pain, having managed to phone an ambulance and was in hospital for over a week. the consultant told me that cysts are VERY common in pregnancy and mine eventually disappeared. My grandmother died of ovarian cancer and my aunt died of breast cancer. So I know exactly how worried you are probably feeling. I had a post natal scan and they advised that everythig is normal - so I am sure that will be the case for you. Try not to panic, even though I know how hard that is to do (and easy for me to say)

I have just come back from my nuchal scan - DS1 has suspected swine flu so I had to go on my own without DH but all looks fine - the nuchal measurement was 1.9 mm and the nasal bone was very obvious, so although I have to wait for the combined results, I am feeling fairly relaxed about it all.

Hi everyone, hope I can join your group as I am due around 20th May 2010 (will get a more accurate date at my 1st scan). So I'm 9 weeks into my 1st pregnancy, very happy to be pregnant but struggling with the whole swine flu outbreak business which has scared me senseless. Trying to get plenty of rest and fruit/veg down me to keep healthy, also am feeling sick and tired most of the time like most of you! Did not manage to keep the pregnancy secret and everyone at work knows. Will be nice to continue to use this forum and hear from people in the same boat (and at the same stage!) as me. xx

Evening guys jusst read the sad news im so sorry hun !! I dont know what else to say other than u have so much support on here by the looks of things so if u ever need to chat im sure people will be more than happy to talk.

Im due on the 30th May as well. I have not been to work all week going to try tomorrow but as all of you I just feel constantly hungover thats how I can explain it really!
Tired, sick emotional, skin outbreak and I just dont wanna do anything its like ive been on a heavy night the night before.

Is anyone else worried about the swine flu jab? I have a meeting with the midwife on Tuesday so will ask her more about that then but im scared as you never know what it could do to the baby.

Really would like to hear about how u guys feel about this.

xxxxxxx

fulhamgirl have a look at the "how pg are you and will you have the swine flu jab" thread as there is LOADS of information on there about it.

I wasn't going to have it, but having read that thread and done some more reading, I think that I probably will - the more I read about it, the risks are much higher if we catch swine flu, and as I have three other DCs and a DH, I don't want to put them at risk.

It may be moot as DS1 has had a very high temp etc and was prescribed Tamiflu so may in fact have SF at the moment - but he's on the mend after only 48 hours, so I'm not convinced that it is SF......

db240877 I am due 12th May now, they did tell me 8th May. But my period dates are right and they say conception date was 16 august, but its only few days earlier than thought. Just feel like Ive been 10 weeks forever, and Ive put on nearly 101bs already!I finally turned 11 weeks yesterday.

first1 and panicmode thankyou for your re assurance re cyst. I am sure I am worrying over nothing, and like you say the dr wasnt worried, but I just dont trust them. I Remember them telling my mum everything was fine and her ovaries were all clear (even though she was in agony) month later they discover stage 3 OC. I just have no faith in them anymore. Could tell you lots more stories but dont want to bore ( or scare) anyone!!

And is anyone else fed up of not drinking?? How awful am I!

Yes it is very ironic - I'm finding pregnancy so stressful, could just do with a drink - but oh no, can't have one! Long baths just don't have the same effect.

finally got my dates through for my 12 week scan - quite peed off as i'll be 14 weeks by then. scan is next friday (30th). can't wait.

saw some friends yesterday who both told me they'd turned up to their 12 week scans and were both told they couldn't find a heart beat. apparently both babies had died at around 7/8 weeks. both girls had pg sypmtoms all the way through and had no idea - so now i'm mega stressed about the scan. as this is my 2nd pg i wasn't too worried before but its really affected me.

plus spent most of the night waiting to see a paediatrician for my son who we had to ruch to hospital last night due to some unknown excruciating pain which meant we could hardly touch him without him screaming. needless to say by the time we'd waited THREE hours to see them (even though the doc who came out to us had phoned in advance and explained the situation and they'd TOLD us to come in!) he was fine and they couldn't find anything wrong with him. very frustrating.

anyway - still feeling rough as dogs and having had about three hours sleep last night i actually feel like i drank three bottles of vodka last night. shame - i wouldn't have minded feeling like this if i'd at least been able to have a drink!!!

anyway - sorry - whinge over.

wish I hadn't read that newmomma. I've got my scan on Monday and am really worried now

Heya guys I had to have an emergency scan at 8 weeks last monday and the heartbeat was so strong. I know u hear these horry stories but stay positive its going to be a very emotional time for you and everything will be fine!!
If your still having signs as weel sicknesss, tiredness etc your be fine. My 13 week one isnt until 23rd November !!

Yep i am suffereing with not drinking big time lol sounds so bad!! I was put off of alcohol for a while though but could do with a nice glass of cava right now!!
One now and again wont hurt I had a small glass of champers on my birthday last week !!

xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Had my scan today. Amazing to finally see the baby and such a relief to see the little heart beating away

All looked good and the sonographer thanked me for bringing such a well behaved baby - it was very calm and placid and he got all the measurements he needed in no time at all.

Another huge relief has been finally going public. It'll be great to stop lying about not drinking!

oldie I am finding pregnancy stressfull! I hate all the changes Im going through. Ive put so much weight on, even though Im still exercising 3 x a week. Ive not ran much as my boobs hurt soo much! And Ive still not told anybody.....I think im in denial!!

still counting down the minutes to my scan on friday. have convinced myself of all sorts of outcomes... twins, being much further on that i thought (am HUGE!), problems galore. will just be glad when its all over and done with and i can (hopefully) stop stressing.

i don't remember being this bothered last time round. :-(

still feeling sick, and going to bed at 8pm most nights. booo!

Got my nuchal scan coming up too, on Monday. I'm terrified despite already having had 2scans which were fine. Bit concerned though because at 11+2 weeks I've ony put on 1pound in weight, yet I have a definite bump

Hi again everyone, nice to read all the news from people at the same stage as me and hear that I'm not the only on stressing. My first scan is Mon 9th Nov at 12 weeks, excited but nervous... mustbemadeno3 does that mean you already have 2 children?

I've not put any weight on by week 10 + 5 days, which I thought odd since have only actually been sick once and have a bump already, but may be cause Ive been eating healthier (have gone off chocolate!). Midwife says I should eat choc again to balance it out

well. finally had scan - all fine wiggling around! no results yets but the measurements were very promising apparently.

only thing is they put me back 9 days. so now my due date is 17th May, rather than the 8th May. which is no problem (infact the due date is now my husband and fathers birthday so quite exciting!) but makes me feel like I have to endure another 9 days of feeling like crap.

anyway moan over. i'll let you know when i get the scan results and then we can finally go public!!!

Had my nuchal today too newmomma, and they dated me exactly 12weeks which I thought I was so we're both due 17th May! Woops! Nuchal measurement was 1.3 which sounds positive so fingers crossed everything will be ok with bloods

new momma and first 1 had my nt scan today too. Im exactly 13 weeks and the nt was 9 so think thats looking positive. Just waiting on the bloods.

Had a mare of a weekend, told ds1 (12) who was horrified, said he hated both of us and was leaving home. He couldnt believe we had done 'the thing'! DH didnt know what 'the thing' was so had to give him some sex ed whilst trying to calm my DS1 down.
And they say women are hormonal!
