October 2010 babies?

[FutureMum]

Hi, I am a first-timer Mum to Be and Baby has been given a due date of 1 October. Very early dates still, so nervous and excited I cannot think about anything else! Planning not to tell family and friends till the first three months are over, but it's going to be tough!
Anyone else expecting an October baby out there?

Yes, smells and sight of certain food make me go funny. Esp. soup (which many people at work have for lunch), had to rush out with the smell on Friday. Looking at the picture in the tin, etc. disgusting. It's a no win- no win at the moment, if I don't eat I get sick, if I eat I get sick. Even drinking water makes me feel queasy, although I know I must.

Hello everyone & congrates to u all!!!

I am due 2/10/10 with my 2nd baby (this will be 4th pregnancy as the last 2 ending in m/c )
Im not to sure of the due date as i only had my 2nd m/c in dec and fell pregnant straight away so could be only couple of weeks!!
Im due for a scan in the next 2 weeks to check if everything ok (fingers crossed)
We have only told my work as i have been signed off due to having a very physical job as a care assistant and doctor felt it would be best to rest because of history, and our parents! Hoping to tell dd and family n friends after 3 months.

I hope everyone has healthly pregnancys and not too much sickness

Hey Charlii, so sorry to hear about your m/c's , I hope it all goes better for you this time
I went to the doctors today, didn't get any folic acid because I'm already taking some but I work for the Navy so I'm surprised they managed to get hold of a pregnancy test that worked. The doctor was nice, but kind of brisk (I can never get used to that), just told me about the risk of m/c in the first trimester, chucked a tube at me to wee in and pretty much told me to crack on from there and contact the nearest NHS hospital in a few weeks. Lovely then. Feel a bit rubbish now, actually. I had so many things to ask but I felt like I couldn't/was taking up precious time. I hope to God the NHS nurses are a bit more sympathetic and at least give me a leaflet to read or something.
Hope everyone is doing well and that the poor girls with sickness feel better soon hasn't got me yet, but as the doctor said to me today 'it will'.

god jazzie ur doc sounds like an idiot!
i was told nicely to take it easy as its an important stage etc, and do i have any questions,(this all with numb 1, not going t2 docs till thurs for this one!!)
its not true that the sickness will get u!!!

i suffered more with headaches and feeling like i had a bad hangover was only actually sick once.

think docs should be bit more sensitive, its a very exciting/emotional time.

charlii iam sorry to hear about ur m/c s, i bet more than any of us u want to get first few months out the way.

future how u feeling today hun?? did u manage to get thro the day and have dinner??

Hello everyone
Jazzie ive been with the early pregnancy unit and they are all great, nurses helped me alot. Most of the gp's ive seen are great but there has been one which was rubbish(couldnt even read a pregnancy test, had to get another doc in!)
I hope your pregnancy goes great and no sickness!!! Take it easy and look after yourself! x

Hi

I found out I was pregnant on Saturday, already seen my doctor as I have horrible pains feel like period pain but have now had them for two weeks. GP has booked me for an early scan on Monday to see if all is ok, im terrified its eptopic. Has anyone else having these kinds of cramps? I would be due on 5th Oct if all is well, scary.

love to you all.

Thank you so difficult not being able to tell anyone, will see what the scan says on Monday. hope you are doing well and enjoying these weird few weeks. Take care x

Hello all

Can I tentatively introduce myself? I'm due Oct 2nd, but far too worried to get excited about being pregnant yet. My last pregnancy (1 year ago) ended in mc and I've struggled to conceive since then, due to PCOS. So would like to join the thread but think I will just lurk quietly while I wait for my viability scan next Friday.

Katykat cramps are very normal in early pregnancy. I've had cramps on my right side and have been investigated for an ectopic (this pregnancy has already been rather eventful!) - it turned out to be the corpus luteum cyst, which is the follicle that your egg pops out of - it forms a cyst on the ovary and pumps out progesterone during the first trimester.

Good luck and congratulations to everyone. Send me sticky vibes please, and fingers x'd I'll be back on here!

I guess that's me then!

I haven't seen the doc yet so nothing's official, haven't got any dates yet but using my handy wallplanner I think I'll be mid October if all goes to plan.

Am 2-3 weeks now, and v aware of risk of miscarriage etc. Also am 38 years old so taking nowt for granted.

Current reaction is basically: holy shit!!

I've emptied the charity shop of baby books but can't face reading them yet. Slighty achy boobs but nowt else to speak of. DP delighted but scared like me.

Can you tell it's my first and only?

KatyKat, I had funny period like cramps for a while but the doctor just said that it was the baby burrowing into the womb lining. Also had pain on one side but just a quick ache if you know what I mean but it happened a few times; apparently all normal again during the early part of pregnancy.

I'm actually really nervous about telling my parents about this, they're pretty old fashioned and to be honest it wouldn't matter if I was having my first baby at 16 or 66; they'd still say I was too young. I just know I'm going to get the 'you're too young' (I'm 22 and married) and 'your life's over' (where do people get that one from? where?! Besides, I've not lived at home since 17; guess why, and DH and I have our own place) You know when you just know you're going to get negative vibes? And it's so sad and it's really stressing me out. I'm sorry to hijack the thread, but I'm actually going out of my mind here. I've got a pretty awful feeling they're just not going to react at all well and on top of that, I feel pretty abandoned by the doctor etc. If anyone has any advice, please please feel free to spout. Again; sorry to thread hijack, but I'm just so worried it feels all consuming and I had to let it out somewhere...
MorrisZapp; good luck with your pregnancy, I'm sure you'll be totally fine. It's good that you've found out nice and early so you can take care of yourself

Hi Jazzie,

I found out I'm preggers today so thought I'd join this thread and wanted to say please don't take to heart your parents reaction. Mine weren't great the first time but believe me, when the baby arrives, the initial reaction is forgotten and the doting grandparent emerges! Also - people say your life is over because it is - but only as you know it now. A different life starts which is just as wonderful but very different. Enjoy your pregnancy!

With love, Constantly.

Hi girls, just to say I'm feeling a bit better. Husband coming around things and doctor has given me some medicine which will hopefully help. Off work for a few days with the world's most understanding boss, time to rest and look after myself. I am finding that if I eat every 2 hours something like a piece of toast with ham (nothing too strong) it helps me keep the nausea levels down. I was getting really worried that I may have to be off sick the whole pregnancy and also with two trips coming up that I couldn't cancel, didn't want to disappoint husband. Feeling a bit more cheerful today, although still very sleepy, very sensitive to cold, sore boobed and of course with that little nausea in the background. Why oh why did I ever complain about periods in the past?!

2ndDestiny - I am due October 2nd too!
This my 3rd dc, and I am 38 and very panicked this time (i am a long time user of ad's to keep me sane, lol), but I just feel really nervy this time round. With ds, now 7, (a, erm, one night blip), I didn't find out i was pregnant til I was over 3 months- no symptoms, nothing( I had been taking the pill consecutive months).

DD (3.5) was very planned, and i knew from about 2-3 weeks. Had a scare at 5 weeks which really shook me. It was a long, very eventful pregnancy (I had surgery for a broken wrist at 20 weeks).I don't want this pregnancy to be liKe that- failed induction at 41 weeks, emergency section after 32 hours in agony. There WILL NOT be another dc after this (hear that, DH?), so i am stressing over every twinge.

Anyway, sorry for the long waffle- sending sticky vibes to all October mums-

and Jaz- i'm 38, and was petrified of telling my mother !!

Hello to you all and congratulations! I'm also due on 2nd October and just wanted to let you know that there is also an October 2010 thread in the ante-natal clubs section which you can find
here

You would be more than welcome - although it looks as though you are getting on just fine where you are

sorry- anti depressants- I've been treated for about 15 years. Nothing serious, just need something to keep me stable, iyswim. I always check the drugs i am on are fine during pregnancy, though.

Hi Constantly, Thankyou for your advice; I'm sure it's all going to be fine and they'll come round sooner or later (I hope!) but I just want the baby to be welcome, you know?
Feeling about a thousand million times better today, much more positive and relaxed. Even though I cried at that Sponsor a Donkey advert earlier
Right, here's the thing I've been thinking about; can your baby hear your thoughts? Like, if you're reading in your head? Because if so, I need to stop with the Closer and get with the Jane Austen...
Sticky vibes to everyone, take care girls

hi girls,

jazzie i was worried first time round as i was 23 and had lived away frm home for few yrs got mortage etc, but think my mum was expecting a wedding first (after the initial omg) by end of the meal she had brought my buggy crib etc and loving it!!

i made myself really worry but felt so much relief wen i just did it.

future glad to hear all looking up a bit for u and sickness little bit more under control.

not sure about the whole hearing ur thoughts thing!!! i am a hairdresser and my daughter always seemed to be asleep during day and lots of kicking at nite, when she arrived and even now 2.5 yrs later she goes all sleepy and dopey wen i put hairdryer on!!

i have doc appointment today, how r u all feeling because i dnt feel preggers other than slightly sore boobs, on toilet watch keep expecting to come on!

i was doing my mils hair last nite and she was asking same question as she does everytime i c her when r u having more etc.....o i am a bad, just said a one day!!!! (hehehe pushy cow!!)

Hi Sophie, thanks for the reassurance I'm sure it'll be fine I'm telling them on Saturday so ill keep my fingers crossed! I know what you mean about expecting to come on, apart from sore boobs all I've had are a few twingey sort of pains. A bit like period pains but nowhere near as bad and quite quick. I'm still in dreamland at the moment though I think, ill not believe it until I see the scan!
Hope the poor ladies with sickness are coping ok

yeah i have to remind myself when i am carrying a toddler and 5 full shopping bags up two flights of stairs that i am preg and should be careful!! glad the sickness hasnt kicked in yet!! hoping i have a couple more weeks of sanity!!
