Due Sept 2017

[xxemmyxx]

Hi ladies I think I am due the 23rd September but I'm not 100% sure because my cycles are on the long side and irregular.

This is a shock bfp for me!! I'm not quite sure how to feel right now, obviously my mama bear instinct has kicked in already and I want this baby desperately but this was not really in my plan.

I have a son who is 3 years old on Sunday and a daughter who is 10 months old. I struggled to conceive them and had over a year for each of them of active ttc and two miscarriages before I got both of them.

On nye I got a bit tipsy and we didn't use a condom, literally the only time me and hubby have had unprotected sex and bam I did a test today and it's positive. My lines in the cheapy ic's were so faint I wasn't sure if I was imagining it but a strong line on frer earlier this evening, I think I am 11dpo

I have only just returned from maternity leave after my daughter last week and so I am worrying about money but what will be will be and I have been blessed with another pregnancy so I'm just going to try and stay calm!

I think my baby was conceived when my husband and I got a little tipsy too! His boss got him a nice bottle of booze for christmas and we never buy stuff like that for ourselves so we drank it together one night and almost polished off the whole thing! Ended up doing in on the couch (him sitting down and me on top) and because of the awkward position i couldnt jump off quick enough! I thought about plan b but i looked at the calendar and didnt think I had anything to worry about based on the the cycle day, but apparently I was wrong or I got my dates mixed up or something! I actually totally forgot about it until my husband mentioned it to me. Looks like his boss gave us a little bit more than he bargained for!

oh gosh all these little surprises!! My main concern is money and that we only have 2 bedrooms. What do people do when they can't afford to move to a bigger house??

Hi, I'd love to join! I'm due sept 20.

I've already had two betas since I see an RE.. 12 dpo was 53 and 14 dpo was 154, so that's a huge relief! That doesn't mean I'm not terrified of everything going wrong. My current fear is ectopic since I keep getting a stitch in my side.. not in the uterus area. Most likely everything is fine, but now I'm really looking forward to my first scan to see if the pregnancy is in the right place!

 

[wannanewbaby]

Welcome michellebelle im sure all is fine but like you said nothing helps you feel more calm than a scan and seeing a beautiful heartbeat

Emmy - room share? We had a similar concern for a moment. We're foster parents and are currently caring for an almost 3 month old. On the day I found out I was pregnant we were preparing for one of our previous placements, who are now 3 year old twins, to come back home to us. So we were also sitting around trying to figure out how to fit FOUR kids in our 1000 sq. ft. house and sedan car. haha.

However, the twins ended up not coming into care that night so we're back to planning for 1-2, depending on what happens with our current placement.

On another note. So maaaaaaaybe I'm a little hormonal. Maybe I've cried at least 10 times today. Maybe the last time was watching Obama award Biden with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Maybe.

My husband was sooo happy when I told him yesterday. I told my mum too and she was super happy to. This would be her first grand child (and obviously my first child). It's tough though because I live on the other side of the world in Australia, far away from my mum .

12 DPO (or 3 weeks and 5 days) today and I had to through my breakfast out because I already felt suuuper sick and nauseaus. Now drinking ginger tea and tortilla chips and it helps. I feel like I'm super early with all these symptoms but everyone is different I suppose

naw...

I remember sharing a room with my little brother until I was 8? 9? That was nice actually

 

[MrsKChicago]

Emmy, the new baby will be in the master for six months to a year, then sharing with Teddy. We have a small house and may eventually need to size up or do some major renovations, but for now, they'll just have to share. I've heard little kids usually like the company. We do have a third bedroom that we could use if we really needed it, but right now it's our office and we don't have anywhere else to move everything in there. DH works from home often enough that we'd really miss that room.

 

[wannanewbaby]

Im sure they can share fine for several years we also have 3 bedrooms we dont use other room for anythung special so it will be for new baby although later on the new one might be jealous as my son has a much larger room lol

 

[xxemmyxx]

So I have 3 bedrooms but one is a loft conversion up on the third floor and my mum stays in there 3 days a week cus she looks after my two 7am-7pm when I am at work.

My 3 year old is currently in his own room and my 10 month old is currently in our room. When she is sleeping through the night better I will move her into his room. He will love bunk beds!

And then when this baby arrives it will have to stay in our room until we can afford to move house! How cosy 😂

 

[bumbleberry]

How's everyone feeling today? I've had a head cold all week so decided to finish work at lunchtime today as its been a busy week with meetings

We only have a two bedroom house as well but it's an old house so rooms are huge so our plan is bubs to be in with us for a year or so then we're either splitting our bathroom into two rooms or they will share with DD, bunk beds etc.

 

[wannanewbaby]

Im feeling pretty good also swear i got a cold it started yesterday sore throat runny nose. Sitting on couch with my dry cereal inly thing that seems to calm the nausea in the morning. What about everyone else??

 

[gingmg]

I'm feeling good too. Just mild on/off cramping and low back pain. I've had a few mild waves of nausea but usually only if I need to eat then it goes away. Had my second beta yesterday, seems to be rising ok, so now just waiting for a scan at the end of the month so I can graduate from my RE to a midwife. Hope everyone is having a good day.

 

[xkirstyx]

I'm good today just slight nausea, cramping and lower back pain. I have also been light headed aswell when I stand up. Is this happening with anyone else? It's a new one for me, I was never light headed and dizzy with the others. Xxx

 

[xxemmyxx]

I'm crazy tired, got cramping and had some lower back ache too, boobs are bit more sensitive than usual and I have had a couple of episodes of feeling a bit sick. I'm really bloated too. I feel like I'm having so many symptoms for only being 4 weeks pregnant but I spose I know what to look out for third time round!

 

[bumbleberry]

I've felt a bit light headed too but put that down to the head cold.

I've been having slight nausea in the afternoons and the cramps come at night time. So nothing too bad for now as I'm still very early. One thing I have noticed is how cold I am, could be the cold I have though lol

How old is your youngest? Because I had a baby less than a year ago the doctor said she might need to prescribe me iron as my stores would be low. That can make u dizzy can't it?

 

[xkirstyx]

He will be two in April emmy. There was only 13months between my first two and never had any dizziness.


Also having a lot of stretching pains today!

 

[jlg621]

Hi ladies! Into my 4 weeks now. Feeling good. I have some cramping usually around 3-5ish. My bbs are pretty sore. Other than that just waiting for my first Appt on Feb 6th.

 

[MrsKChicago]

I'm still getting a little bit of not quite nausea. Just an unsettled stomach after eating. I'm starting to really feel more picky about what I eat, and my sense of smell is stronger. I'm thirsty a lot, which was a symptom last time too. And I'm still so tired.

 

[ladybrown33]

I'm not very tired, I'm eating as usual, I had some mild cramping, and some bloating. The bloat is the only thing that is really noticeable as my pants feel tight around the waist. Otherwise I feel normal and still fighting the urge to just tell my mom since we talk so often and I think she may be suspicious
