Hi everyone!

Well, I got my BFP on Friday morning and it is only just starting to sink in! According to my dates I am due 2nd Feb and I thought it would be nice to have a Feb babies thread, where we can all share our news/worries/excitement!

Cant wait to hear from you

You have officially been added to the stats.

PandaEis · 23/06/2010 00:20

hi ladies (and newdad)

i went to the GP and she has referred me for a scan and to the clinic aswell so its all systems go here

mrswhisk sorry your GP made you feel bad i had a GP a while back who was like that with me when i had my 3rd MC and basically said to me that if i had an negative test after heavy bleeding, i must not have been pregnant in the first place i made a complaint about her treatment and moved GPs. the new GP checked my test results thoroughly and referred me on basis of these!!

i say book in to see a different GP...did he refer you for antenatal care?

banana sorry to hear your news i have been there and it sucks xx i hope you are as okay as can be expected xx

hope everyone else is ok

MrsWhisk · 23/06/2010 07:07

Hi
Thanks PansaEis, yes been refered to antenatal after he checked my +ve result with a nurse (lol)

nomoregandtforme- think you are my preggie twin, am 30 1st time preggie and due Feb 22! I woke up poor DH at 5.10am as too excited to wait.

angels1 · 23/06/2010 07:27

hi all,

just wanted to say morning and share that I think I spotted a bit of blood this morning. Hoping I'm imagining it as it was so slight, but that's just wishful thinking. also got odd sensation in lower tummy, but then, have been getting different feelings in general. I can't take it again if something goes wrong..had mc equivalent of next week last time, and this is my first. I feel so upset.

Think I'll leave it for an hour and see if I notice any more blood. If I do, will see doc today, but there's not much they can do anyhow. sigh.

smallblackflowers · 23/06/2010 08:23

angels1 please try not to worry, a little spotting in early pregnancy can be very normal (when I had some on Saturday this is what my frantic googling discovered). Your doc may refer you for a reassurance scan at your local early pregnancy unit too.

banana so sorry to hear your news. Have also been there so understand the pain you must be feeling. [hugs]

I've got my viability scan at 1pm today. Please cross everything for me that things are as they should be, I'm 7+2 so there should be a visible heartbeat.

GinaFB · 23/06/2010 09:50

banana I am so sorry to hear your news. Look after yourself. Much love. x

Angels Spotting is fairly common don't panic just yet. Thinking of you. x

smallblackflowers I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you today. Good Luck

angels1 · 23/06/2010 10:32

thanks ginaFB and smallblackflowers

good luck sbf this afternoon at your scan - let us know how you get on, will be thinking of you.

Just to report that in the last 3 hours not a sausage on the spotting front (probably not the right term!!), so am keeping fingers crossed and trying to relax.

caramellokoalalover · 23/06/2010 10:36

Hi there, Just removing myself from the stats . Had it confirmed yesterday, what I already suspected, early miscarriage. Best wishes to everyone xxx Caramello

tabbycat76 · 23/06/2010 11:03

banana - so so sorry to hear your news. I guess no words can make things feel any better so I'll just stick with the fact that you're in my thoughts and I hope you have a more positive experience next time.

As for me, I had to cancel my night shift last night due to nasty abdo cramps. I suffer with IBS so wondered if it was wind, when it didn't relieve and came back when I went to bed last night, it got me worried abit. Of course the husband is striaght on the net checking it out and sees that cramps in early pregnancy is common due to ligaments stretching etc. However, woke up again with cramps this morning tho not quite so bad Have just come back from the GP who advises me not to work tonight either but have referred me to the early pregnancy unit for an urgent scan. Hoping to hear back from them today so fingers crossed for me guys!

Hope everyone else is ok, and once again welcome to the newbies - seems like every time I come on here there are new names appearing which is fab! All the more advice and support to be read!

GinaFB · 23/06/2010 11:05

tabbycat76 good luck with the scan today, I am ure everything will be fine. I will be keeping everything fingers crossed for you! G x

GinaFB · 23/06/2010 11:08

Oh and welcome to all the new people I can't believe how many Feb Mums (and Dad) to be there are now! x

tabbycat76 · 23/06/2010 11:10

Thanks GinaFB - fingers are all crossed here too! Infact, fingers crossed I get a phonecall from them today! Hate worrying!

GinaFB · 23/06/2010 11:15

tabby sorry I miss read your last post! I hope they call today, get you in and everything goes ok with the scan! That'll teach me to skim read! Really hope all is well though. x

sweetnitanitro · 23/06/2010 12:02

Yes, welcome to new mums- and dads-to-be!

Good luck with your scan tabby, hope all goes well.

More symptoms for me, my gums were bleeding like crazy last night I got loads of nose bleeds last time too.

Deliaskis · 23/06/2010 12:08

Afternoon ladies!

Today's development is sharp pain in abdomen when I sneeze, which is pretty frequently due to the crazy pollen count at the mo. Googling tells me lots of people have it and it's muscular and nothing to worry about, but it's still unpleasant and feels 'wrong'.

Anybody else had this?

D

HazB2010 · 23/06/2010 12:29

not had that particular joy deliaskis, but if anyone has any general hayfever tips, they'd be very welcome. Is there anything we can take for it?

angels1 · 23/06/2010 12:41

deliaskis I've had that! I thought it was just me till I found a thread here on it a couple of days ago. I got it when laughing uncontrolably the other day too!

I too have itchy itchy eyes hazb2010. Haven't taken eye drops as not sure if can. I used to take a homeopathic med for hayfever too, but not sure if I can take this. I'm just avoiding everything at the minute 'just incase'!

btw - no more bleeding yet, so fingers crossed it was a one off nothingness.

x

Deliaskis · 23/06/2010 12:43

HazB2010 I haven't been to docs for hay fever, as I don't normally take anything, and I know there's lots we can't take. There seems to be one product we can take but it says you need to take a lot for it to have any effect, erge...it's not very good and doesn't work!

Can't remember the name of it but I just googled hay fever in pregnancy.

Dx

suzym1984 · 23/06/2010 13:04

deliaskis I too had this weird pain when I sneezed today, quite alarming at the time!

My hayfever is bad now, I have been using eye drops that I got from the pharmacy, which help with itchy eyes, but unfortunately do nothing for sneezing!

OP posts:
Honeywitch · 23/06/2010 14:50

Try local honey (must be locally harvested, not mass produced or blended honey).

Apparently a teaspoon of this per day can help build up your resistance to allergies to local pollen. Also it's yummy! :-)

smallblackflowers · 23/06/2010 15:16

Good news for me - saw our little bean, heart beating strongly, and a new EDD of 10th Feb based on the measurements. So I'm 6+6 today. Feeling very relieved and grateful that all is as it should be, and that once a heartbeat is seen the risk of miscarriage goes right down.

Re hayfever, the tablets that I've been prescribed for my morning sickness are antihistimines (sp) and also stop my hayfever. Bonus. The NHS direct website has quite a long list of tablets you can take for hayfever when pg too.

carmello really sorry to hear your news [hugs]

tabby I hope you get a call for a scan and that all is ok.

angels1 · 23/06/2010 15:30

great news smallblackflowers - isn't it amazing how early they can find the heart beat? I can't wait for that myself

Still no more bleeding here, so I'm hoping things are all good
