Anyone due in JULY??

[sharbear]

Hello Everyone!

Wanted to see if anyone else is due in July- would love a "Belly Buddy". I am 38 years old and just over 8 weeks pregnant with my 2nd (my first is 14!!). After we tried for years to get pregnant, we gave up this past May and decided age and the "difficulty" we were having was a sign to stop. Apparnelty, fate had other ideas. What is that about how a "watched pot never boils"? I had one miscarriage at 8 weeks back in April of 2009 and live EVERYDAY scared to death. I have my first appt with the NURSE tomorrow and an ultrasound at a clinic on Thursday. Waiting VERY impatiently. . . .

Hi!
Still in shock here but also due in July!
I am 41 next week and thought I was entering the menopause so to find out I am expecting my fourth child is taking a bit of getting used to
My others are 20, 16 and 2 and I was convinced that was it! I have a scan on 17th so have that 'in limbo' feeling where although you know it is true, to see the actual evidence makes it all 'real' (then I will be very excited)
Congratulations to you

Me!! I'm 35 (36 on Friday!) and this is my first. Also still in shock!! We tried for 16 months without even a glimpse of a BFP, so we couldn't believe it when it came along.

What are your due dates?

 

[sharbear]

My due date is July 15th, but I am anxious to see if the doctor changes it at all when I see him next week. (I have long cycles). Already poking out a bvit, which "they" say is normal since it is my 2nd and I am "older". Any of you already "showing" a bit?

 

[embartle]

I have been given 22nd by my G.P but as I have 'estimated' my LMP (very irregular and wasn't making any notes!) it could be earlier!
I have really accentuated symptoms in relation to my other 3 pregnancies- extreme hot flushes, nausea, hunger, cramping, dizziness, lower back pain especially when sitting down and lots of 'fluttering'!!!
I feel I have a bump forming but as I am starting above the 'ideal' weight lol it is not yet noticeable to others (I don't think as we have only told close family so far).
I have booked a private ultrasound for 17th even before I see the midwife-I still need time to adjust to the news as fab as it is!
Really , really pleased for you Conina
P.s these are my first ever posts on a forum of any kind so apologies if I make any mistakes (and I don't know many of the abbreviations yet I have to keep looking them up!)

Hello! I have also been given a due date of 7/22 I am 39 and this is my 3rd child and my second biological child.

Hi Mysillygirls!
Counting down the days til my scan....and trying not to eat everything with salt in (its the first time I have craved salt, with the others it was always sweet things-especially icecream!)

 

[MySillyGirls]

Hi, Embartle! When is your scan? I had a bit of spotting so I had a scan last week and was able to see a little heartbeat. So, no new scan for me until my after the first of the year (which makes me nervous) I am craving sweet things...anything from applesauce to ice cream. and tomato sauce. go figure haha!

 

[MySillyGirls]

Congratulations everyone!

 

[embartle]

I have booked a private scan for next Saturday (17th) as I wouldn't be offered one until after Christmas and I can't wait that long (I am convinced there is more than 1 in there so desperate for a head count!)
I havn't had any spotting (thank goodness as I am worrying so much anyway) but I am getting constant cramps which I have never had before.
I will book a MW appointment after the scan because I know due to my age there will be more appointments than usual!

 

[Conina]

Embartle - I've a private scan booked for Monday. We just want the reassurance that everything's ok in there so we can tell people over Christmas. My "proper" scan won't be til after Christmas either

 

[embartle]

I am being a bit of a hermit at the moment as I don't trust myself not to tell everyone I am expecting lol
It is really going to drag until next Saturday- I am just being soooo impatient!
Will be thinking of you on Monday-is it your first pregnancy?

 

[Conina]

Yes, first time. I'm hoping it starts to feel real after the scan!!

We told our parents last weekend - mine took it all in their stride (it'll be their 4th grandchild), DH's mum cried...

 

[embartle]

Monday will be very special for you and DH then- I find it makes everything 'real' but also gives me the urge to go and buy lots of baby things!!

 

[Conina]

DH has already bought me a pregnancy journal and a book of baby names - which he tried to tell me was part of my birthday present - like it's not for both of us!! But I've been a bit wary so far of buying anything, just in case...

Why do you think there's more than one in there? Is there a history of mutilples in your family?

 

[embartle]

No history of multiples at all!
This just feels so different to my other 3 pregnancies (although 2 of them were so long ago it is hard to remember lol) I feel so much bigger and I had a dream that I was expecting 2 boys and a girl to which my husband first looked shocked (women's intuition can be powerful) so I laughed it off (he looked less panicky) but it is just a niggle I can't shake. I may have convinced myself that the continuous cramps are the result of a vastly stretching uterus........only 8 days until I find out!

:wave:

I am due on 7/7. My next appointment is on December 20th. I am 39 and pregnant with my first. I have been very sick and very tired for a month now. I am very grateful for this pregnancy, but I hope it gets better soon because so far.....

 

[Conina]

:wave: Indigo! Sorry you're still not feeling well

Hey ladies, I hope I can join. I know I am not due in July, but early August (4th). I am 35 and this is my first pregnancy or well I guess it is my second technically. I have been having some weird cramping that comes and goes, no spotting, but the cramping is making me obsess bc first pregnancy ended in a MC even though I didn't cramp with the MC until after I started spotting and it didn't feel like this. Any thoughts??????

I'm 38 years old and pregnant with our first child. We are due July 20th. I hope it comes on my birthday the 17th! We told family after our first scan at 6weeks 6days. We saw our little bean and heard the heartbeat 137bpm! I'm still nervous since my RE diagnosed me with I have diminshed ovarian reserve and that donor eggs were our only option. I have another scan coming up on Dec. 14th. Haven't had morning sickness, just cramping, really sleepy, sore boobs and pregnancy brain and excessive. I can't wait to get out of the first trimester so I can relax a little more about this pregnancy. I just reached 8 weeks.
