June baby - anyone else?

[Macmad]

Hi ladies! I've just turned 39 last month and got my BFP at end of Sept. I think I'm about 6 weeks so due on 2 June. This is our second baby. Millie is 18 months and keeps me super busy. It's nice to come here as this forum wasn't around in my 1st pregnancy.

 

[Mizze]

Hi macmad my little girl is 20 months so I definitely relate to being kept busy!

Good Morning Ladies. Can I join the club?

I got my BFP on Saturday thinking my due date is early June but not sure. Last period was about the 11th August but have irregular cycles so do think I'm as far on as my dates would suggest. Got 19 month old monkey, sorry son.

Mizzie remember you from last time round. Oh and I'll be 38 when LO is born.

Noting the comments on potty training I'm thinking I want to try sometime before Christmas, not sure that he's ready but I don't want to be trying to fight with him nappy changing at 5-6 months. Suffered spd from 22 weeks last time and expecting it to kick in earlier this time

 

[tommyg]

Well I'm thinking I'm out, I've started bleeding, and re-tested this time BFN. So looks like an early loss for me.

 

[MrsPhez]

Really sorry to hear that, hope to see you back soon

 

[Mizze]

Oh tommyg - I have just read your comments, I was delighted to see you here as I do remember you from last time. - im so sorry hun, I have been there and its not good. But wishing you all the best xx

If the worst has happened the miscarriage support forum is very good xx

Hope to see you here again soon. xx

Hello everyone
I hope that i am doing this correctly. Congratulations on all of you BFP's after some amazing stories.
I am 39 and in May we had a mmc at 11 weeks I absolutely went to pieces and have been on medication for panic attacks that have crippled me in the last few months. However i have just found out that i am pregnant again today.
Obviously i am scared but would like to talk to someone else out there too who is probably wishing as hard for their wee baby as i am wishing for mine this time.
I am due 20th June 2013 so i know this is very very early but four tests give me a positive result today. So i am trying not to worry and to be happy. But i feel so bad that the ecstatic feeling i felt before is not there? Just so frightened it could happen all again.....
wishing you all good luck on your journeys

 

[MrsPhez]

Firstly congratulations Shaid! I can certainly say I am keeping everything crossed for a healthy sticky bean and barely an hour goes by when I don't think that. I just want to wish you all the best this time round, hopefully we can share 9 months worth of pregnancy stories together in this thread

 

[Mizze]

Congratulations Shaid and welcome xxx

We have a great thread going for June mummies in the pregnancy after a loss forum too. Everyone will understand how you are feeling and the support is great. I'm so sorry for your earlier loss. I went to stress counseling all through my last pregnancy after my loses and it helped a lot

Mrs Phez how are you doing?

Much nausea here. I have a scan on Friday due to an early very slight bleed (I will not panic) so hoping to see a hb. Should be 7 weeks on the dot by then

Hi, do you mind if I join you?

I'm 38 and found out last week that I'm expecting baby #2 I already have a little boy who's almost 2 and junior's ETA is 13 June.

Feeling quite anxious at the moment tho as I had an early miscarriage/chemical pregnancy in September at 5 weeks. I'm 4 weeks 6 days this time and this is when the bleeding started last month, so very nervous that it'll happen again.

I hope everyone's well. Congratulations on all of your BFPs. So sorry you didn't get to stay very long tommyg. Good luck for your scan on Friday Mizze

 

[MrsPhez]

Hiya!
Doing pretty well thanks! Just really tired. Having same symptoms as I had for Dexter so predicting another boy actually got hardly any symptoms, still testing to be sure! Got made redundant last week which is a shame after 14 years but get a healthy pay off and it's good timing with this littlun really. Time to think about a new career perhaps? Should be OK with one salary so not too stressed.
Dexter waking after his 2 hour nap, jealous I would love one of those! Good luck on Friday, hope all is well and you get to see a healthy bean! x

Thanks girls for the welcome. Like you all the anxiety is so much to deal with. Test number seven tells me today that i am 2-3 (4-5 i believe in doctor terms) weeks but i am still having the smallest of spotting when i pee and it's just the waiting game to see what comes next. Still miss my lost wee bean so much and trying to take one hour at a time at the moment.......anyone any cures for the midnight hours? Wishing you all lots of luck and it would be so nice to share this journey with you x

Do you mean you have insomnia? When I've had it before I just try and shut out any thoughts if I can and just stop thinking, easier said than done I know. Could you see a hypnotherapist or something to help with anxiety/stress?
I really hope we can all see this journey through together for the full term. Everything is crossed for all of us x

 

[shaid2012]

No insomnia i don't think, but the wee hours have me full of doubts that this is going to go wrong again. would hypnotherapy be safe in pregnancy??? I really hope to see all the wee beans go full term in this thread. I really would. I feel alot better already thinking that i am not on my own. So thanks a million everyone. The other thread after loss is very powerful isn't it!! Thanks again.

I wish I had a cure Shaid - its something that gets most of us I think - its hard to be positive in the dark when you are tired but your mind wont shut off

Something l learnt from my stress counsellor from last (successful) pregnancy was a sort of mantra to help you switch off. You basically say, "my left arm is heavy" 3 times, my right arm is heavy x 3 - and do both legs, back, shoulders etc until you come to your heart where you say "my heart is quiet and at peace" - keep going until you drift off. It takes a while to concentrate and it would often take 4 or 5 trips round my body because my worries would kick back in -but it works. I think, like most of these exercises, its designed to make you focus on one thing and then that allows your mind to quieten and your body to let you sleep

Must start doing it again actually - I fell out of the habit

Most definitely will give that a go tonight and see how it goes.
For any UK ladies out there any thoughts on the NHS v Private clinics? In between two minds here. Also pessaries and aspirin were suggested by a private consultant today - can anyone discuss??? confused.com

Shaid - id say it was generally unusual here to go private unless you need/want something the NHS wont provide or have full healthcare cover which most people dont. I will be going private for my nuchal fold scan as the NHS in Wales STILL doesnt do it (triple test for triosomy genetic testing, downs etc) even though you can get it in parts of England. At damn near 40 I will be having this just as I did with Caitlyn. The nearest clinic is over 50 miles away but worth every penny and every mile as I can get the test at 13 weeks and the results at 14 weeks. If I waited for the NHS id have the blood test at 15 weeks and the results around 17-18 weeks.

Apart from that test it will be NHS all the way unless we decide to get a 4d scan later on in the pregnancy

I cant discus pessaries as I have no knowledge at all! But I know over in the PAL forum there is some discussion over baby asprin or 75mg asprin. Its supposed to help prevent certain kinds of miscarriage and help in preventing pre-eclampsia - it can, apparently (havent checked this personally with a Dr or Pharmasist (sp?) yet) do no harm at all at that dose and can do some good
