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?

OK, sorry, need to vent. Just so angry with my mother telling all and sundry about the baby (I'm 10+4) and when I said to her she should watch how many people she told in case all was not well at the scan on the 8th she just said 'Darling....darling ' in the most patronising tone I have ever heard. I swear to God if I had been in the room with her I would have slapped her face. So angry . Just really struggling at the moment, feel threatened on all sides at the moment. You know how my DSS are on the autistic spectrum? Well, we were visiting the house where DH used to live and I caught one of them 'playing' at fighting the other with a bloody great kitchen knife. I nearly died. But DH doesn't take it seriously enough. Now if they're going to come over I want to hide all the knives in the house. I just don't feel safe around them now I'm pg and dread to think what will happen when the baby is born, I'll have to sleep with her so she's never alone! Heeeeelp! So overwhelmed, so angry and so lost. DH doesn't understand (of course, they're his kids) and I don't know what to do.

sorry, just had to vent and you're the only people I can do it to.

hi all.
isthatgood the + is how many days u r. so my change over from 12 to 13 weeks id sat so iam 12+2.

how u all feeling.
i have scan in morning, feeling nervous/excited. as soon as they say all ok, i can enjoy rest of scan!

ms def going, good nos how much weight ive gained! any one else??

Dilly... Sounds like it's a very troubling time and if the knife incident isn't a regular occurance then I would just see how things go, you won't know how your DSS reacts until the baby has arrived. Unfortunately Husbands don't take the same things seriously and that can sometimes make the whole situation seem 10 times worse! With regards to your Mum, I think it's an age thing, my MIL did exactly the same, despite us telling her not to say anything! It sounds like DH might have to hide the knives from you soon though... sorry bad joke.

Welcome isthatgood, It's all a little confusing when you first start these things and some of the shorterned text takes a while to get used to. At the top there is a button saying Acronyms which explains most of them. the number is just the weeks and the days that you are so I am 11 weeks at 5 days, so we just write it as 11+5. Everyone here is really lovely and it's a great place to vent frustration and ask questions!

Sophieandbelly- enjoy the scan tomorrow it's such an amazing yet surreal experience. Though my sonographer was getting p*ssed off at me as had the ultimate giggles whilst he was trying to find the baby!

Hey ladies!
So I made a massive dinner for Palm Sunday yesterday - chicken parmesan, and homemade pasta! Yum!

I'm feeling really nervous...Tomorrow is my 12-week scan, and I haven't been feeling preggers at all , except for sleeping about 12 hours last night! I know symptoms are supposed to subside around this time but it's so weird - I feel like there's nothing in there, and what if I go in tomorrow and the doctor is like, "Oops, sorry..."

How was the scan sophie??

Thanks babyb we'll see what transpires.

Good luck tomorrow Daynee let us know how it goes - could murder some of that chicken parmesan and pasta though! Dinner at yours then?!

Hi all.

welcome to new peeps.

Dilly that sounds like a nightmare. Deep breaths! I am sure your hubby will control DSS when the baby's around. Don't worry about that - you have quite enough on your plate. And hormones really dont help with dealing with these things. Just come on here to vent!!

muggle and dilly. Not sure what to say about the news spreading thing. It's pretty insensitive. Still, the most important thing is that it all goes right and that you can get on with being PG and planning the nursey etc. Just dont tell the mothers/in laws if you choose a name

sophie and daynee good luck with your scans!

I have my weekly scan with the prof tomorrow, which I am v nervous about as had a bit more bleeding . If bean is still hanging on in there, at 9+5 it will be 2 days further than I have ever got before though, which is encouraging.

Sounds like there are a few of us having our scans tomorrow. I am feeling more & more anxious about mine, as I also do not feel that pregnant now & am worried there will be nothing there or something wrong. I guess it all feels a bit surreal still, as the only proof of pregnacy was an extra line on a test (or 3!) a while back. Just really want tomorrow to hurry up now. I know my stomach will be doing cartwheels tomorrow morning!
Good luck to everyone else having their scans tomorrow.

I seem to have a bit of an upset stomach this morning, which is probably anxiety as I have my scan at 10.20am. I am praying all will be ok.

Hi nomore good luck today. I went for a bit of an emergency early scan at 9 weeks and wasn't feeling very pg - sometimes I think the panic makes us feel very odd.

Thanks KFW and good luck with your scan also.

Hoping to hear some good news from you all (you too Daynee) later today

Thanks babybunting - I feel a bit stupid for not working that out - I am 10+3 today - hooray!

Good luck with your scans today everyone! I have mine in a couple of weeks and i CAN'T WAIT but am massively paranoid there will be nothing there at all and I've made it all up. On the upside, if I have "imagined" my boobs as big they have become then it would probably be quite a profitable sideline ...

That's so annoying when you ask people not to say anything and then they go and tell everyone anyway! That's one reason that we haven't told anyone yet and are waiting until after the 12 week scan. I know that my MIL would not be able to keep it to herself and I do understand, but I'm also very nervous about it all having had spotting etc so want to know that things are ok before telling people.

KFW - good luck with your scan today - I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Hope everyone having scan have good ones and are all reassured! Mine isn't for another 3 weeks so I'm climbing the walls!

well i had my scan this morning!! my dd now thinks if she turns on the telly thats where the baby is!!!

all looks good baby turning over and generally moving about-i was right my due date 10.10.10 is what i had worked out and doc said 9th.

had the scan where does risk assement etc with blood tests, so should hear bk in next couple of weeks about that, feel much calmer now, and can allow myself to feel excited.

going to tell my boss today to, feel bit nervous about that dont no y, i no he will be fine!! hope all other scans went well today girls xxx

My scan didn't go well I am afraid - I have had a missed miscarriage - baby stopped growing at 7 weeks. Got to go in on Thursday for D&C.

Thats really tough nomorewine Hope you are holding up ok. My sister had an ectopic a few weeks ago, so I know how devestating it can be. Was it your first pregnancy?

OMG Nomorewine- That's awful, I am so sorry to hear such sad news. Can't believe that. Sending best wishes to you and the family. My thoughts are with you all. Guess you should break out the wine tonight my love. Take really really good care of yourself and chin up! Really sorry to hear that. Take care.

nomorewine - I'm so very, very sorry. Of course, I don't have much to say to make your pain go away right now. I just want to say that I truly empathize, and that you will be okay...I also suggest drinking lots of wine. Keep us posted.

My scan is later today...plus I'm in the U.S. and behind you guys, but I'll post later on when I know. So nervous.

Nomorewine I am so very sorry to hear your news. I have been there and it's horrid.
Sending hugs.

big hugs nomorewine

Scan on thursday sooo nervous.

Hope everyone is well

Don't know of anyone else this has happened to. My body thinks it is nearly 12 weeks pregnant, but baby stopped growing just before the 7 week mark. Been like a tap with on & off crying all day. Felt and looked so pregnant. Can't believe this has happened.

nomorewine I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. I cannot even begin to imagine how it feels. Surround yourself with your loved ones and take time to grieve.

I've my scan tomorrow and I'm so scared - I have been feeling really weird this weekend. Loads of energy, less sickness and not as tender breasts so feeling pretty nervous. Scan was supposed to be next Wed but have moved it forward as a result. Thank goodness hubby was not against private scan as won't get booking appointment with NHS midwife untill 13 weeks and scan untill 15/16 weeks! Feeling as I am I couldn't wait that long.

nommorewine - I'm so sorry. I can't imagine what you ae going through. Sending you hugs. xx

nomorewine this is anyone's worst nightmare, I am so very very sorry. I'll be thinking of you, lovely, please take good care of yourself.

I just checked in to say thank you to everyone who has been so kind and sent me condolances. Even though nothing can change it, it's really helpful that you've been so kind, especially as in RL lots of people don't know what to say, so say nothing. Reading your messages really did help.

nomorewine I couldn't believe it when I read your news today. I am so, so sorry and I know how awful it is to deal with. I've cried almost solid since Thursday, today has been maybe very slightly better but I just have this awful sadness and emptiness. Like you, I looked really pregnant (and still do) - just couldn't believe it.
Miscarriage section has been helpful, I've posted on there just because I've been crying so much I don't know what else to do and people have come on and said lovely things. Chat over there if you need to - I'll look out for you in case.

I really will bow out of here now because all you other lovely people will want to be getting excited Really hope that all of you having scans get fantastic results; good luck Daynee and KFW, and all of you still to see your little beans on the screen. xxx

So sorry nomorewine. What devastating news. Thinking of you.
