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?

Musicposy you are so funny :p Just fed my dog a bonio and thought of you... cant say I was tempted myself though :p

I've been signed off work today for two more weeks with this horrific morning sickness... that'll make five weeks! Every second I'm panicking about what people at work must be saying.. esp with the fact that they don't know i'm pregnant.

Oh well!

Hope everyone else is having a good day!

Welcome to the thread Nunnie

Welcome Nunnie!
Sweet Jesus, what a day. Got final exams for promotion next week and the teaching staff are really piling the pressure on so finding it hard to switch off at the minute. I don't even care if I fail anymore, just want to go back to Cornwall to get into our new home so I can relax!
Morning sickness seems to have reared its head again, all I wanted to eat today (and mostly for the last week, come to think of it) was Cheerios. I came home, ate a massive bowl and now I feel really sick bleugh...
In bed again by 9 I think lol! I could sleep for a hundred years and still be tired!
Only one more week till my 12 week scan (next monday) and one more week until I can tell the whole world

Welcome Nunnie

Hope everyone's ok.

I've been on the cereal diet too, Jazzie - hope it passes for us both very soon.

Just out of interest, how long has everyone had to wait for their scan date to come through? I went to the doctors at 5 + 2, I'm now 7 + 2 and I've yet to hear anything. Can't for the life of me remember how long the info took to come through last time.

I only heard from the clinic about my 12 weeks scan last week and the actual scan is next week. xx

Hey Lovelies - just a quick note, I think it's me that needs the fingers crossed this time. Had a bit of a rubbish weekend but thought it was just normal pregnancy stuff - sick, tired, funny dreams, 47 wees a night generally feeling rough, worked hard today and thought I was ok but came home and when I went to the loo there was this brown mucus...HUM... ok, so a bit more of that has happened but not much... I feel uncomfy in my lower abdomen, just kind of 'full' but not having period like pain or anything. Anyhoo, spoke to lovely lovely lovely GP who is organising an early scan for me Weds or Thurs (though I have work commitments both days which I cannot get out of so I'll have to work my personal disaster round that ) So there you go, flipping flipping flip... just got to try not to worry, eh? Doc is optimistic at the moment and I keep thinking of all the hairy moments you guys have had. Still feel sick etc which is good (!).
Ah well..that's me for now
xx

good luck Dilly, I've heard brown is "old blood" so fingers crossed for you, it must be worrying. Keep optimistic xxx

Hello and welcome nunnie and Katy86!

Good luck Dilly, and let us know what happens. I've had a bad weekend too with terrible cramps on Sunday and mild craamping since, very, very small amount of brown discharge Sunday, probably wouldn't have noticed it except for white underwear (TMI!). Felt very ill and off on Sunday.

I have a scan next week anyway so I'm just sitting tight and hoping for the best. I know they won't be able to alter the outcome. Am not feeling sick this week which worries me but I said that last week and felt awful a couple of days later!

It's so hard not to panic.. It sounds good, Dilly, if the doc is optimistic. Post on here and let us know, fingers crossed for you.

Hi All

Thanks dappy and music, that's the weirdest thing - nothing I can do will affect the outcome, just feels so odd. Hope all's well with you music doesn't sound nice!! Yeah, dappy the doc said sometimes it can take ages for the implantation bleed to make its way down. Bit more brown muck this morning but slept ok and relieved that I didn't wake up to a bed full of blood! Tbh I don't really understand how anything makes it's way out of the womb though, I thought it was all sealed up lovely...? O well... greater minds than mine know this stuff!!

Yes, music I find symptoms really come and go - I never manage to escape the sickness completely in a day but I do find it moves about - sometimes starting early for a few days, sometimes starting mid-morning for a few days.

Hi Jazzie good luck with exams. I too have been pretty much reduced to the cereal diet! I keep eating things I wouldn't normally eat which I'm sure contributes to the general dyspeptic feeling - I burp like no one's business.

Welcome newbies, all! Sorry, I'm not usually this self-obsessed!

Hi everyone,

MS continues here - big time, esp. on an empty stomach. Trying not to think about weight at the moment, as I don't like feeling sick! First scan due tomorrow, big hols next week, so it's all exciting/nerve wracking at the moment - though it will all start to be far more exciting when we are back from our hols in April and able to tell family and friends. Good luck and good health wishes to all future mums!!

BTW dappy good luck with the scan today - keep us posted, yeah?

Hi futuremum good luck to you too with the scan and indeed the lovely hols!

Oh Dilly sorry to hear that! Hope the scan is reassuring for you tomorrow. If it's any help, I had brown spotting at 7 weeks and 17 weeks with DD and she was fine. And my sister had spotting all the way through both of her pregnancies - her two daughters are now 7 and 2.

Good luck to music and futuremum too!

Still feeling a bit ack here. Am hoping that it does what it ought and disappears at 12 weeks. I don't like the thought of it continuing all pregnancy as it has with some of my friends.

Thanks allie, I feel much better just being able to post on mn and get some support from those who know. Dh is being brilliant but I can hardly look at him, feel like I'm letting him down somehow (yes, I know that's ludicrous but I'm hormonal and mad....)

morning everyone!

Seems like some of you are not having a good time at the moment so will keep u all in my thoughts and im sure you will all be fine
Just wondering why on earth they call it morning sickness? as mine seems to last all day every day i even wake up in the night because i feel so sich i never had this with my DD at all

Hope everyone has a lovely day xx

Hi Katy I have had that exact thing - I have to eat crackers in the middle of the night in order to damp the sickness down so I can go back to sleep - it does work but it's horrid! I haven't tried those seasickness band things yet but people on this site really swear by them - could be worth a go?

Sun's shining here which is helping A LOT! That and wfh....

Also in the battle with ms I am drinking water pretty much constantly now, and it does indeed help (once again - someone on the site recommended it - where would I be without you all?!)
x

hi dilly thanks for the advice ill give the bands a go tbh id try anything at the moment lol. hope it stops for us both soon...at least my midwife says its all good signs

Hope the sun keeps shining makes me feel so much better about everything

OK, scan is Friday morning. Could have gone Thursday but I just can't get out of work things, I know that sounds bad but I'm delivering training with the person I work most closely with and for all sorts of reasons it's essential she doesn't know I'm pg until I'm ready, plus noone knows the training except us 2.

Guilt! If the scan was a treatment then I would just phone in sick but I guess it's only confirmation either way.....

Ok, I'm rambling... sorry...
xx

Dilly, seriously don't start feeling guilty because at the end of the day, the least stressful path is the one where your colleague doesn't know. If that means having a scan a day later, then that's what has to happen. Keeping everything crossed for you, but if you're still getting symptoms and you haven't had any brighter spotting then I'm sure you'll be ok. Keep us updated, try not to think of anything but the very high probability that everything is fine, and that on Friday you'll be sharing your scan story with us. Also, I have had a lot of water infections because I'm allergic to the added flouride in most tap water and have had it so badly that its gone to my kidneys in one instance. I had blood in my urine, but it actually started leaking out into my knicks, by the time I got to it, it had turned into a reddish brownish icky which almost sent me running for the hills.... could something like that describe your illness? I had very low abdominal and back aches, and a tender feeling on either side of my back, also hurts to pee xxx xxx

Aw jazzie your post made me well up. I did wonder about a bladder thing as that's where I felt the problem was during the day - and I was in a place with no adequate loos so I had to crouch to pee twice during the day which I really don't do well and I felt v uncomfortable in the bladder department. But whatever came out wasn't from my bladder, I'm sure of it. Anyway, like you say, thinking positive is the way ahead. Physically I feel as crappy today as always so that's a good thing, eh?

Onward and upward...

Did you have a good day?

Hi ladies:
My due date is Oct. 8th. But I'm thinking it would be cool to deliver on 10/10/10!

I feel like a cow because I'm eating every hour. I'm small to begin with, so my bulge is totally obvious already and I'm not ready to go out and buy bigger clothes!

Anyone else leaving work early/taking sick days? LOL - I'm just so darn tired! I'm kind of liking it though. My dh cooks and cleans for me now...very nice!

Dappymoo - EDD 2nd Oct - 1st baby

hehe!!

Hiya Dilly, glad I could make you feel a bit better. I'm sure your scan will be a really lovely experience; how far along are you now?
Didn't have too bad a day actually, just looking forward to getting all the exams done now!
