May 2012 babies - so far 8 yellow, 22 blue, 21 pink!

[Ems77]

I am a natural born worrier and am thinking of paying to have an early scan, maybe at about 8 weeks - I'm just desperate to see that there's something in there and it's all growing as it should etc... Is anyone else considering this or am I worrying too much?!

I'm hoping they don't make me pay (at 8 weeks), but if they do I will do it. Knowing that hearing the heartbeat and seeing the baby at 8 weeks takes miscarriage down to 3% I will pay for that. Paying (if I have to) for the 20 week sex one also. LOL

I know! I cannot wait to have a new baby in the house! When are you due?

May 12th :-D Three days after DD#1's b-day LMAO!!

anti - what's wrong with your mum? She should be over the moon. Sorry she spoiled your happy news.

AFM just did a CB digi and it is finally pregnant 1-2. FRER is nearly as dark as the control. I'm a natural worrier too so I hope I don't fret too much this trimester. I also have depression and have to be really careful this doesn't push me into an episode.

Welcome to all the new ladies. I'll add you all to the list tomorrow. Hope you are all well. I had a very bad day yesterday. Told my mum we were expecting and it didn't go down well at all and now she's not talking to us so I've been in tears and all sorts. Not in a good place at the moment but I'll get over it soon, I need to for my little bean. I still have to tell me dad though. I know that's not going to be any better! Can't wait to see the doctor and get the ball rolling so I know everything is ok with my baby. I've been worried coz I got no symptoms now after I had such a bad day yesterday. But I know everything is ok, I just worry....

Aw no, I'm sorry to hear that! I know how you feel though because my family reacted poorly when I told them I was pregnant with my daughter years back. I have a feeling they'll react the same way this time due to situational things. Why did she react so poorly? Did she give good reasoning or just being unreasonable? Either way, I hope she comes around and I hope telling your Dad goes better!

She's just a very difficult person and I suppose I was expecting it from her, but anyway... My OH's family are over the moon about it and this is what we want so Im not going to get stressed over it. We're having a baby and we are going to enjoy it to the fullest... if my mum doesnt want to join in then thats her own loss!

That is very sad, but at least you have OH's family there behind you!

Front page updated! Cant wait to get to appleseed size... 2 more days! OH said he's gonna get an appleseed and put it on my belly and talk to it... bless him. He's so excited. Doctors next week! yay! OH is very supersticious and he wont let me buy any baby stuff until the baby is actually here! He said once its born he will go get a moses basket for the first few weeks and then we can get a crib - but seriously... I think he's a bit loopy! I want to get the nursery all done up before baby gets here. We'll see if I can change his mind!

 

[mrsh2011]

LOL! I gotta get me one of those tickers too!

My scan is Oct 3 at 6w6d, I can't wait!

Edit: Is anyone else getting their beta's and progesterone monitored to make sure it is doubling? I had my first blood test today (Monday), I get another one Wednesday and then the results on Friday. But I still have two FRER at home so I will pee on them and hopefully the line will keep getting darker .

Hi all how are we today? I'm suffering from full blown cold not feeling good and feeling very nauseous but in pregnant so I'm still in a good mood!

What a massive shame your mom reacted that way I would be furious with mine if I fit that reaction, so uncalled for when you need support to.

As for waiting til baby is born, no way could I resist buying stuff, plus you're nit gonna have chance to go shopping once baby arrives lol x

 

[anti]

jacky Im so glad you understand me!! I also owe my mum a large amount of money coz my OH had to have an emergency op earlier this year and we couldnt afford it. We both lost our jobs earlier this year but are back on our feet now. Im earning less than half of what I was on, so struggling a bit but all I want to do is get my mum paid off so that she cant throw that in my face - coz I know she will! argh!! family! I know everything will be fine and that we will cope and adapt our lifestyles to suit, but it just gets me worked up sometimes - Im a born worrier!!

 

[Jackyx]

Aww you would hope she would b more understanding since you have just got back on your feet, at least you can vent all your frustrations with us, let it all out cause you don't need to put up with that negativity! X

 

[anti]

thanks!! I've been so unbelievably emotional since Saturday. I cant stop crying and everything seems to be falling apart. I just want to know everything is gonna be ok, but the way things are looking at the moment with finances and family, im beginning to think this was all wrong!

 

[Jackyx]

Just remember what you've got to look forward to, a lil baby that doesn't need much in.the way of money just care and attention, everything else can be sorted out in time. You pay money back as and when you can and don't worry about it, theres only so much you do so what you cant do ain't worth the worry! X

 

[anti]

I know! I wish I could listen to my own advice sometimes. If any of my friends were in this predicament I'd be able to give some awesome advice, but when its actually happening to me I really struggle!! keep bursting into tears at work! this could end really badly!! Gotta get my head together but just dont know where to start!

 

[Jackyx]

That's totally normal, those feelings will be overwhelming you where as if you were in a normal state of mind it wouldn't seem anywhere near as bad. Just remember that you arent going to be seeing things for what they are and that really it isn't as bad as it seems. Speak to your OH about hiw bad your feeling cause you need his support on thisx

 

[anti]

I have spoken to him and he just keeps saying that everything will be ok. I know it will eventually... just wish all these confusing emotions didn't come with pregnancy! I'll look back in a years time and laugh at myself for being so silly!!

So today I told one of my managers. She was very supportive about it and excited for me. I have to tell my other manager (she's above myself and the manager I told today.) She's my executive manager basically and then my HR to find out about how long I can get off work when the time comes. Went better than expected. I didn't want to tell this early but I had to get it off my chest and I feel like it's getting more obvious as the days pass.

Congrats to everyone else who has joined.

Sorry bout your mum anti, I'm going to be in a similar situation myself, tried to test the waters yesterday to see how her reaction would be if I told her, it wasn't positive so not telling her just yet.
About the debt thing too, unless you have rediculous amounts of debt, I wouldn't worry too much! You can adjust to suit and if everyone waited till we were debt free to have kids, no one would be having them! Since I left home 12 years ago I have never had a complete debt free period and I doubt I ever will. In that time I have raised 3 children though and we have managed just fine! Things can sometimes seem so much worse when you are pregnant, but you'll be fine

I had a horrible experience on Sunday, vomiting, dizziness, and almost passing out type feeling uggghhh.

Felt really good up until last night, feeling spewy again.
