Wow! 33 of us now. 33 (or quite possibly more) little beans on the way Welcome Becstar, Chelle, TigerLady and Elliebank

'Plus One' says hello to 'Peanut' and 'Smudge' too. Love the bean-names.

Well, I officially have morning sickness today. Woke up feeling sick. Had breakfast. Felt fine... for 10 minutes. As I type am planning the quickest route to the bathroom Never thought I'd be happy to be sick but I am.

So, I was just pondering this last night - do they calculate your due date just by first day last AF, or do they use your ov date if you were charting, or do they scan and take measurements to give you a date? Even if they use ov date, you can implant from 6-12 days later right, and the baby doesn't start growing til then, so that's a big window. Doesn't really matter I guess as it is just an estimate, but I was just wondering.....

 

[TigerLady]

I think most use your 1st AF day, even if you know when you o, which sometimes will make EDD off by a few days if you o'ed early or late.

At least that is what I seem to be seeing around all the time.

 

[Elliebank]

I agree with TL - my doc worked out my due date from my last period & even though I told him I O'd late he still didn't change it!

 

[NikiJJones]

Mine did the same. They just will not listen to me about OV. So my medical EDD is 9th July, but I know better!!!

Loopylew, my midwife gave me EDD of the 10th on Mon but i think its 12th! Suppose we'll find out for definate at the dating scan.

hi there ladies - my gosh there seems to be a few of us now doesnt there!!!!
congrats to all the newbies with their bfp's!!

I still feel great!! - still no sickness and tiredness disappearing!!

just still thirsty and all i want is milk!!! which could a problem, as I drank at least 2 pints of milk everyday of my last pregnancy and they think that was why he was a whopping 9 and a half pounds!! and they say your first is your smallest so this time i could actually give birth to an elephant!!

Oh and I only had a short labour!! (1 and 1/2 hours) they say they get shorter too!!

So am I gonna sneeze and have an elephant!!

dunno - just getting silly now!!

[lola]

geogem thats hilarious!

with you on the thirst thing, permanently drinking summer fruits squash in pint glasses

 

[lola]

I'm a bit confused about the EDD business.......if I put in my LMP, which is what my GP uses, I am due on the 26th July.........but my OPK and uber early positive HPT indicates that I concieved early in my cycle giving me an EDD of the 22nd???? what would you go with?

 

[geogem]

i would go with the doctor as when you go for a dating scan they will change it accordingly anyway according to your measurements!!

I think that to go with the doctor is your best bet and then if they change it - it just means your closer to your date rather than if you go by yours and they change it , it might be father away = longer to wait!!!

brilliant, everyone in work wants to know what is so funny and of course I have to say nothing , hopefully my 23 hours will be shorter this time , knowing my luck, it will be longer !!

I fancied a (beef) sausage sandwich today with fried onions, I know how healthy am i , big big mistake , wish I hadnt botherd. Then I went to drop the wee man to my mums on my way to work and my dad, bless him, said do you want a sausage sandwich for work, god I had to run xx

 

[adzuki]

I am thirsty too!!! That was my first symptom. I chugged 2 litres of milk on the day I found out - just felt so thirsty and craved milk. Weird!

It unnerves me a bit to not have many symptoms. I had cramping - now it's gone. Had some nausea, now it seems to have abated. Luckily my boobs are still sore - I am a bit nervous about the bean not sticking!!!

First Doc's appt today to confirm the pregnancy. Have no idea what to expect, other than peeing in yet ANOTHER cup!!!

Take care all!


A

 

[geogem]

aw bless!!

Well they say no 2 pregnancies are the same!! I say WHY NOT!!

At least you'd know what to expect!!! its unfair!!

My DH thinks I am quite quickly losing my mind!! - keep coming out with really random things!!
the problem is - I dont think he's wrong!!

Oh roll on scan so i know everything is alright and there is actually a baby there!!!

I keep having mad dreams that I go for a scan and there is nothing there!! - Kinda like a phantom!!!

freaky i know!!

anyway I'm babbling now!!!

 

[shelleylu]

Blimey girls, How many BFP's can one month have?! 34 now I believe, which is wonderfull news - Congratulations for everyones good news xxxx

I think we all deserve a bit of

So, I will change all the dates (again!) Sorry I got your date wrong Niki- I knew really, but my pregnancy brain took over my typing for some unknown reason...

Right, symptoms - Oh lord I cannot officially travel. I have the worst travel sickness now. I have never enjoyed being in a car. but its just stupid now! - In my infinate wisdom I decided me and OH should do something nice today as he's off work. We drove from our house about an hour to Broadway by the Cotswolds (anyone know it?) Its gorgeous village anyway. We were there for 3 hours, and I spent the majority of it leaning over with either heartburn, or severe nausea

Apart from that and severve thirst still, I am doing ok. To be honest I love the symptoms, but could seriously do without the nausea - I hate it and Im never actually sick which makes it even more frustrating. I feel like Im being dramatic when I run from a meal and nothing happens!!

Gem - you are funny. I wish I could have an hour and half labour. Mine lasted 40 hours with William, and he was back to back weighing 10lb3.5oz's, so Im kind of hoping for a better time of it. A sneeze would be lovely too. Could you ask the sneeze fairy to come to my labour ward after visiting you please!!!!

Any girls thinking about labour yet? I have a son and would answer any questions you might have (I know I got very anxious early on last time) I might not tell you what you want to hear though - I wont lie - it bloody hurts lol

As for now , I am going to do some painting and eat some more... erm... well anything I can find x

 

[Elliebank]

I've thought of birth a little, but just want to get to 12 weeks and then I might actually BELIEVE that I am going to be giving birth in 8 months. But I don't mine hearing about it if no one else does!
