[OPEN] 1st child due late July/August 2011

[rducky]

rducky - That sounds good does it just stop you from being sick or does it help with feeling sick too?

My midwife didnt offer me any. She just said to eat ginger and to get some travel sickness bands that go on your wrists as they help.

I was sick again today as I smelt something funny. I feel sick all the time so anything sets me off urging or puking!

Has anyone got a date for their scan yet?

It does help with the feeling sick, but I still end up throwing up sometimes. I can imagine it would be worse without the tablets!

I also have some ginger tea that helps settle my stomach.

I have a date for a private scan for January 7th. If we didn't have the private scan, my first one would only be at 20 weeks!

Awww exciting not long to go then!! Make sure you post the scan piccy so we can all see!

Mine is on 17th when I will be 12+3 (although I think this maybe exactly 12 weeks going by when I think I ovulated).

I can see why you went private I could never wait until 20 weeks for the first scan!! We nerly went private before christmas because I was getting really worried but they couldn't book us in until the end of december and then my NHS scan came through so I decided to wait. We are going to get a private 4D scan and dvd done later on instead as we think it will be a nice keep sake.

I tried to post on here yesterday but the site or my computer were being unco-operative..

Anyway- sorry you guys are sick!

Well my best friend gave us the news that she is pregnant and due July 17!

My DH and I are excited for them and for the fact that hopefully we'll both have babies at the same time

We had a moment where we wanted to share our news with them too, but we really want to wait for confirmation and also we didn't want to steal their exciting moment..

I'm calling the OB today to see if they've booked my NT scan..

 

[rducky]

Susan,

That's great about your friend! It will be exciting to go through it together!

[SMFirst]

Yeah I think it will be pretty fun going through it all together - my friend is the type that loves all attention on her, and I really want no special attention at all, so hopefully that will be a good balance.

Well I found out when my NT scan will be - disappointed that it will be later than I thought: Jan 27, but what can you do?

Second to last family dinner tonight. I don't want my vacation to end, but I would like a day to do a few things on my own!

 

[turtlebeach]

Sm First - That must have been sooooo hard not to tell her you are pregnant too!!!!!

Thats really good news thou will be so nice for you both to be able to share the pregnancy together and for your little ones to grow up as friends too.


- I've been feeling a little worried the last few days. When I hit 10 weeks (my counter is a few days out i'm 10+2 today) my sickness just suddenly went. Today I urged a bit earlier (which I was pleased about) but feel ok now. I've been googling like mad and have read that it can be because the placenta takes over at 10 weeks (but then other sites say it doesn't happen until 12-14 weeks so i'm not sure to believe.

Just hoping everything is ok (I know I am such a worrier I just can't help it).
I am going to buy a doppler so I can at least use that through out to check!!!! Roll on 17th....

 

[rducky]

I think it's normal for the nausea to start dying down around now. Mine started later than I expected and I'm still vomiting. My MIL never had any sickness for her 3 pregnancies. Everybody's different! I know that it's hard not to worry.

Susan, have you told your friend yet?

 

[SMFirst]

Hi,

No I haven't told my friend. I really wanted to wait until my scan, but now that it's not til Jan 27 I might decide to tell them earlier.

The other hesitation I have though is that my friend and her husband are both really competitive type people, so I was a bit worried that when they learn that we are pregnant too it will become like a comparison to see who's doing better or something!

As an example - when my DH and I mentioned in March 2009 that we were looking into buying a house, it seemed to set my friends off and they rushed and bought a house in August that year, so I wonder if we hadn't said anything they might have waited.. (We didn't end up buying our house til this year)

But otherwise they are good people though


Well we had a quiet but fun New Year's Eve with a few friends - hope you guys had a good time too!

Only two days til we go back to work. Not looking forward to it..


I realized we haven't heard from HarliRexx in a while (maybe just away for the holidays) - if you read this Harli give us a shout!!

 

[rducky]

We had an evening at home with close friends also. It was nice. We had already told them because my MIL had splashed the news on Facebook without our permission....argh! We didn't want them to find out from Facebook or the "grapevine". I really wasn't ready for the general public to know...the worst part is that MIL doesn't really understand why we're upset that she posted the news. She also told DH's aunt and DH's sister was in the room and overheard. So, 2 people that DH was really looking forward to telling found out from his mom instead of us. I'm stll a bit upset about this...can you tell?

 

[SMFirst]

Branwen that sucks that your MIL told people especially other family that you guys would want to tell.. You'd would think it wouldn't be necessary to remind them not to say anything! It seems to happen a lot though ..

 

[BattyNora]

Oh, I've just found this one - mind if I barrel in? I'm talking in a couple of "date/month" threads, but this is out first too!

 

[SMFirst]

Hi BattyNora

Welcome Feel free to say whatever is on your mind here

 

[Diznylnd]

Hello ladies! I would love to join this thread. I am due July 21st, 2011 with my second.

This baby was a complete surprise...we have an 11 year old daughter that was a surprise and miracle too.

We have been TTC #2 since our first was 3 months old (becuase it took almost 4 years to get pregnant with her)

We have been through infertility treatments on and off for about 6 years and we stopped treatments about 2 years ago. I was diagnosed with PCOS when we started fertility.

Thanksgiving Day this year I was not feeling well went out and bought a test and got the shock of a lifetime a BFP!

I go for my NT ultrasound tomorrow afternoon and just hope that one goes well!

I looks forward to chatting with everyone!

Kirsty

Thanks. I am so sorry. I am new to the boards and did not notice this was for FIRST pregnancy. Congrats to all you future 1st time mamma's.

 

[rducky]

Hello to the new ladies! Everyone's welcome!

 

[rducky]

Diznylnd, that must have been a wonderful Thanksgiving! Were you actively TTC, or was it a huge surprise? (if you don't mind me asking)

 

[Diznylnd]

It was a HUGE surpirse. We have never used birth control of any type and my husband and I have been together for 14 years! We just always said if it ever happened again it would be a miracle!!

 

[SMFirst]

disnylnd - I think we'll be ok with you sticking around even if it's not your first pregnancy You can be like the matron we all ask questions of since you've been through it already

That's fantastic! Congrats!

I have my NT ultrasound on Friday, the day after yours. I'm starting to get excited and nervous...
