Looking for a buddy close in dates

[ems]

Im excited and scared too, I think its only natural. I cant wait until I have some confirmation that things are going well, then we will share the news with our families. In my mind we wont buy anything until after the 20 weeks scan, we havnt yet spoke about finding out the sex but Im happy either way, I will leave it up to the OH as this will be his first. Theres so much to think and get excited about but Im trying so hard to keep level headed for a few more weeks. I may implode!

 

[bfpsoon]

Please can I join in too? The Dr has dated me to be due on May 1st. Im waiting for an early scan appointment as Im high risk of m/c due to being on meds for super high prolactin levels. Im trying to keep positive, we havnt got this far along without a big bleed so I pray this bean is sticky!

Welcome aboard ems, they'l be no talk of Miscarriage on here, we are all going to have healthy babies at the end of this journey, Positivity!!
You're due a few days before me

Hi there!!! I'm looking for some buddies. I am due April 27th with my 2nd! I don't get to see my doc until 12weeks which really saddens me I don't remember waiting this long for my 1st. I purchased a doppler a couple days ago that's suppose to hear the heart beat at 8-10wks, I sure hope it does!!!!

welcome aboard hunni, It's horrible isn't it the wait, I think they should get us booked in a lot sooner and give us a scan.
Let us know what you think of the doppler, I might have to buy one of those

Oh I will. You know I have to try it as soon as I get it I won't get disappointed if I don't hear anything tho. But I'm excited! I see so many ppl getting in for scans early and I am envious! My 1st appt isn't even a scan, I think we will listen for the heartbeat and such... oh the wait is agony!

 

[bfpsoon]

Can I join too? I'm 5+4 due very end of April/early May not sure of exact date yet!

I'm fairly new on here to and would be great to share the experience with others As you say bfpsoon we have a long way to go!

Def not sunk in properly for me yet, feeling a mixture of amazement, excitement and being very scared about the whole thing!

Not decided about finding out the gender yet, how about you?

Horay another newbie, welcome aboard hunni, it's just so surreal isn't it. I have to pinch myself sometimes to check this is real, I'm also quite scared, I'll be a lot happier and relieved when I reach 2nd Tri

Don't want to know bubs gender, After all the changes our bodies are going through & still to go through I want a nice surprise at the end of it.

 

[PrettyUnable]

It hasn't sunk in for me yet.. we're estatic but it keeps hitting me "I'm pregnant!!"
Then I do a little dance - yay lol

I'd loooooove to get a doppler, but would try and find abit of a bargain so it'll be ebay all the way for me

We aren't going to find out the sex, much to my OHs desperation to find out. I don't think it's right to find out and anyone who says, like my OH does, "Well to be prepared, to know what youre having" - You're having a baby!!! What more do you need to know

I can't wait to buy the first few basics and the pram!!! I've pretty much narrowed it down to two that I love and just have to go test them out and see if they'll fit in my car boot ( which I seriously doubt, I drive a KA )

So glad to have bump buddies

 

[bfpsoon]

Oh I will. You know I have to try it as soon as I get it I won't get disappointed if I don't hear anything tho. But I'm excited! I see so many ppl getting in for scans early and I am envious! My 1st appt isn't even a scan, I think we will listen for the heartbeat and such... oh the wait is agony!

I have my 1st Doctors appointment next week, I doubt much will be discussed, he'l probably just refer me to the midwife. Scans here are at about 12 weeks I think, I'm going to bed the doctor to give me an early scan, because I had a MMC earlier this year & I'm also unsure about my dates, as my periods have been out of whack for a few months.

Here's hoping the next few months fly past for us, and we all make it to 2nd Tri, with beautiful growing bubbas

Im liking this, everything is going to go well for us all. Im so happy I finally have people to talk to, Im going bonkers by myself. Every now and again I remember and want to yelp but cant

Hello everyone I am feeling about the same as you guys! I am due May 8th according to my doctor but I believe I am due May 6th

Uh huh!! I was thinking the same with regards to the doppler, it'l have to be an ebay purchase. pre warn me though won't you when you find one to bid on, so that I don't find myself bidding against you lol.

I think exactly the same as you, I'm so lucky to even be in this position and it doesn't bother me in the slightest what gender bubs is, as long as they are healthy.

I went pram window shopping the other day, and already found my travel system, I'm going for the Quinny Buzz, I love the design of them and they are super lightweight. Ohh KA, not much room in them I'm guessing lol
keep me updated on what you like/see
Bump buddies, I felt so intimidated when I first joined here, I had been stalking for many months, but seemed like everyone knew one another, and newbies were generally ignored, but I plucked up the courage to join just as I got my BFP

So has anyone spilled the beans yet? I'm dying to scream it to the world, but we are waiting until my 1st appt at 12weeks. I did however tell my mom and sister.

it's just so Taboo to discuss pregnancy 'Before the safe 12 week mark' I just want to announce it to everyone. ( All our family & friends knew we've been struggling to conceive for 2 yrs) so I know they'd be so happy for us. But DH is hesitant and doesn't want anyone to know So I'm with you on the going bonkers, I'm sitting on the biggest surprise ever and can't tell or talk to anyone about it. Very grateful to have found you wonderful ladies

welcome aboard Marley, ohh exciting your close in dates to me

I want to tell everyone too, mostly my MIL. She wants a grandchild SO badly, OH is an only child so we are her only hope. We are going to wait a little bit longer before telling her. Her birthday is around our 12 week mark and I know it would be the best ever gift to be able to take her to a scan but I really dont know if i can wait that long to share the news with her. Its so hard having a secret that I know will make someone other than us so happy. I cant wait to see her face, I know Im going to cry more than she will lol.

Awww that just gave me goose bumps!!!!

 

[mrsrof]

Ohhh wow!! This is Fantastic

And there was me thinking no one would respond lol

Ok Ladies I'm going to add you all as friends and add you to my Bump buddy list, we can all share this amazing journey together, as we are still relatively early in our pregnancies and have a long way to go. But come Spring we're all going to have our bundles of Joy in our arms.


So how are you all doing ? has it sunk in yet? I'm still amazed.

Any symptoms yet ? I have the morning sickness from Hell, and there's just not enough hours in the day for me to sleep. I keep finding myself patting my tummy already, Even though it's just a mixture of Bloat and pre pregnancy fatness lol.

Pretty much only got constipation so far and boobs are just starting to get a bit tender. I'm also tired a lot!! Oh it's so exciting, and so good to have people to share this with xx

I've told my parents and 2 cousins who I am very close to (one of them made me buy some tests on saturday!) and my sister, although I didn't mean to tell her.

Gonna keep it quiet from everyone else till at least after the 12 weeks this time.

Thank you! I am very excited to read all these posts! Everyone seems to be going through the same things I am! But I am not a good secret keeper and I told everyone, except my work place lol

Awww that's so lovely, unfortunately we aren't producing the 1st grandchild, our baby already has its place in the pecking order. This will be my parents 4th grandchild, and In-Laws 3rd grandchild, I know both sets of grandparents will be happy, but it's not the same as the 1st I'm guessing.

ems I don't know how you're going to be able to keep quiet for that long, I bet your ready to burst trying to keep that from her

 

[bfpsoon]

Right, Time for me to go tackle some chores while I still have a little energy left, I shall return soon and hope to find lots of new posts with you all conversing with each other.
