Pregnancy buddy Due early October 2009

[applegirl]

I tell you what is not quite as little - maternity jeans!! Also happened to walk by that section. Got scared by the size of the bum in one pair.

But then, I say - bring it on! I've been waiting to get baby fat for years

 

[applegirl]

who is planning to find out gender

we are for sure! I don't care pink or blue, but i need help with the shopping!

 

[belleandbump]

I think we might find out!!! We didn't with Josh and by the time he was born if he had been a girl, i would have had to change the bedroom!!!

Like you applegirl I do not actually care but there is stuff to sort out!!! I think i might be able to find out at 12 weeks on the 4D scan!!!! I know we could have with Josh - it all depends on position.

Hi everyone good to see more october

congratulations Awayagain! It's so hard keeping it quiet isn't it? We havn't told many people either but i think it's gona get harder to keep quiet til 12 weeks as i feel so ill already.

Have decided that the first trimester is the crappiest place to be
you feel awful, your anxious about your beanie sticking, doctors arent all that interested (not in me anyway), you can't tell too many people and you have nothing to show for it, no bump or anything. sorry im having a rant cos i feel so ill. want to skip this part entirely!

oooooh i'm such a moaner! sorry girls

Hopedance- i've been following your posts in first trimester- so sorry for all you are going through dont feel pressurised into anything. i think its great you are considering getting some more counselling. It's also great news about your massive rise in hcg.

Applegirl- not long until your scan now!! Love your first bump photo!!! you have a lovely flat tum there your bump will look great. I would put one on but all it would show is a huge bloat which i can almost pretend is a bump already!

Belleandbump- hope it went well at the doctors? Thanks for doing the chart, it's great!

I havn't allowed myself to look at babythings yet....although if i can settle my stomach and muster the will i'm hoping to go into town today to get some new work trousers as i can't zip mine up due to the bloating...and then i might wander over to baby section as i think it might make me feel abit better about feeling so sick...

Not decided about finding out gender yet. Hubbie wants to find out but i would quite like the surprise. Although it would be fun to buy gender specific items.

Kez xxxxxxxxxx

kezziek- hear hear about 1st tri being completely pants!!
although I would not trade it in to go back to TTC - no way

Sorry that your work trousers are already feeling snug and that you are feeling - but of course , that is good news right!! I can't wait to see my bump/bloat whatever!

 

[jo_79]

Hi im a week or so behind you girlies but can i join you??

 

[applegirl]

:wave: jump in Jo - you are more than welcome!
How excellent that your bean's EDD is on your OH's birthday! Mine too! Oct 6th for us.

By the way Jo - I noticed in your signature that you are mum to an angel. So sorry to hear that. Glad you are here with us now!

 

[jo_79]

Thanks applegirl, i do remember seeing you around TTC but dont think i actually said hi or anything lol i didnt tend to post too much in there - lol just lurked a lot!

Im so glad to be here but absolutely petrified, i think i will be until get past the 29 week mark, which is when i had hollie, but its sooooo long till that comes.

I just did two more tests today cos i HAD to see the lines going darker and they're super dark compared to sunday

Im going to book a private scan in 2 weeks is that too soon?

 

[applegirl]

not too soon at 6 weeks - you will certainly see the yolk sac, and likely the baby! Of course - we all want to see the heartbeat!

for that you've got a shot at 6 weeks, but at 7.5 its a sure thing. Private scans are pricey - make sure you book for the time when you will see what you want to see.

 

[jo_79]

hmmm might leave it till at least 7 weeks then cos i wouldnt want to be disappointed

cracker gave me the details of a woman nearby where i live £50 for an early scan so happy with that

 

[Charliemarina]

Kez xxx

[Charliemarina]

we are due the same day oct 3rd x x x

 

[hopedance]

hi everyone.

sorry i have been missing in action in here for the last day or so. i have just seen my GP and i feel so much better about everything. she is going to sort me out with some more therapy, either with the psychologist i used to see, or whether some other person she knows of who is a specialist for mental health problems in pregnancy. she got me an appointment with the midwife, and gave me a certificate to give to uni to sort out everything there, and she is going to call the hospital and explain about my situation so that i get an experienced sonographer who understands for my scan next week. she said she will tell them that there are to be no more internal scans now for my pregnancy, only external ones. *relief*

so that is my update.

applegirl - wow look at your flat tummy, i am so jealous! your bump is going to be fabulous! i am overweight so i am not sure whether i will show earlier or later? when i want to A&E with my pains last week, i said i was about 4 to 6 weeks, as i didn't know yet, and she was only half paying attention, then looked up at me and was like 'sorry, did you say you were 6 weeks or 6 months pregnant' lmfao.

 

[applegirl]

oh hopedance I am so happy you are getting better care and that you have an understanding GP!!

How are you feeling now - still dizzy? big big and Fx'd that you continue to get lots and lots of nice happy news fromn now on!!

 

[hopedance]

yes i am a bit dizzy, but i think i forgot to take my antidepressant last night, so that might be affecting things now, lol. i'll have to go upstairs and count them in a minute to work it out.

oh boy morning sickness has got me now! i feel too sick to eat, and that is SO unlike me. i forced down a baguette at lunchtime, but that is all i have had today. how are you feeling sickness wise?

 

[Charliemarina]

my last 2 pregnancys i was sick as a dog but this time i may have missed the sickness out, hopefully as i think i deserve a break this time round, ginger is brill hopedance, just simple ginger biscuits work wonderes or ginger tea is brill too but only to some peoples taste.
so hopedance is your doc changing ur medication to a pregnancy safe alternative or has he/she done that already?
sorry u feel real rough but it should last long about 12 weeks i found it started to fade away but i had much help from sickness tabs as i was admitted to hospital for a week last time as it was so bad x x x x

 

[jo_79]

i went to see the dr today so i knew what to do next and with my history she's referring me to a consultant to look after me! obviously its too early now to do anything but i have to go register with the midwife in the next week or so and they will do an early scan at 6/7 weeks - saves me having to pay for it then they'll take it from there with close monitoring.

 

[applegirl]

Jo - I am so glad they are going to look after you. Yay for early scans

 

[Charliemarina]

i just wish my docs would hurry up and send my first scan date and md-wife appointment, its the only thing about living in london is anti-natal refferals just take forever and god forbid u ever miss ur scan date, it takes about a month for a re-booking date....lol, think me and OH are gonna book a private 7 week sacn if i havent heard anything in a month as i just wanna see my beans heart beat and know that my pregnancy is viable as to be honest apart from being tiered i dnt feel preg at all, which worries me if im honest as i have been pregnant 3 times had 2 children resulting and was sick early with the all, had sore boobs with my first 2 but this time i have slight tingles in boobs occasionally but that it, am i just lucky? so what do u say girls to us forming an october mummys group? x x x

 

[belleandbump]

Kezziek - Sorry to hear you are feeling crap, just keep telling yourself that it will get better - even if it does take a few weeks. The doctors was fine cheers, very clinical they just did blood pressure and asked about my last pregnancy and had me fill out forms - free prescriptions etc. Then they booked me my appointment with the midwife and sent off for a scan date.

Charliemarina - try not to worry too much about the morning sickness, every pregnancy is different. What was the sex of the other kids??? Or are they mixed 'cause they say that can make a difference for some people.

Jo_79 - Glad you have joined us, hope the next eight months are happy and healthy. It is nice to hear you are getting an early scan!!!
