Early days... Babies due May 2010. Lets start our journeys togethers now!!

Hiya,

Just thought it might be nice to start a thread for those of us due in May 2010. I know its only early days but I followed one of these whilst being pg with DS1 and it was invaluable.

Couldn't find one for my dates this time round (might be wrong?) so thought it would be nice to get together, share stories and follow the progress with some others in the same time-period.

I'm due 6/7 May I think. Didn't really plan to have such a short gap between DS1 and DC2 but also didn't do much to prevent it. (IYSWIM!)

Have started feeling nauseous already(!) which I can't believe as I didn't have it nearly as early as this last time round. No sickness last time and a very enjoyable pregnancy - so am hoping for the same again this time round. Slight disaster with giving birth 2 weeks early with no hospital notes or hospital bag, two hours from home and at a family funeral...(!) So am going to stay AT HOME near the end this time round. Really looking forward to giving birth again. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience last time and looking forward to hearing other peoples stories and sharing our pg's together!

mustbemadno you're lucky to have had your 2nd MW appt already, how many weeks are you? I don't have my 16-18 week checkup until 3rd December

Glad it all went ok though

panicmode and wibbela iam fine now thanks, they couldnt stitch as it was on my lip and inside my mouth. Although I have a nice scar now on my lip!! No calls from DV!!

If you need to go I suggest bran flakes or porridge n honey and plenty of fresh orange juice.

first1 I am counting down too. Its driving me mad. Had my 2nd mw apt friday, heard the heartbeat which was lovely. But my sickness has come back this week, its no way near as bad but its def there.
I feel sooo fat, my bump is huge and quite hard now. I havent been gym in 2 weeks as Ive had bad chest and been in abit of pain with my mouth!!!
everyone Hope you are all feeling well?

hi firstimetwins

Congrats that's great news!

Glad to hear you're goin for the jab panicmode, I'm having mine on Monday along with the seasonal jab. Just want them over and done with now!

everyone Is anyone being as obsessive as me about counting down already?! Every Monday when I move a week along gets a big fat tick in my diary! Surely this is wayyy too early for me to be doing this! Still, 14+3 today!

PanicMode Busy week indeed!!! Hope all goes well, bet you're looking forward to hearing HB - I know I was grin

Congrats firsttimetwins grin

You are welcome to this thread, don't worry about pregnancy brain issues, I'm sure everyone is suffering with them! Although I have MS as well, and my brain has always been foggy wink

DH is trying to make me think, I hope I have made progress blush

Welcome firsttimetwins and congratulations!! I can imagine that your first trimeseter must have felt even longer than it has for the rest of us!!

mustbemadno3 hope you are recovering and that you haven't been contacted by the DV unit!! It sounds horrid - but confirms what I've always thought about the dangers of clairvoyants.... wink

hope everyone else is well - I'm just impatiently waiting for my next scan on the 18th December - having my second MW appointment on Friday so hopefully I will get to hear the HB - this baby is very quiet compared to my other three - and I'm also having my SF jab. DH is having his snip tomorrow (finally - if he'd had it when he said, I wouldn't be in this mess in the first place grin

) - so it's a busy old week!!

Hi All,

Can i join this thread? (I'm fairly new to MN).

I'm due 23rd May with non ID TWINS and am now the size of a small horse - I've been in mat wear since my 9th week - so had to tell everyone early as I was huge even then... just couldn't hide the nuclear bunker.

It's my first pg and it is our 2nd go at IVF.
As I've known I've been pg literally from day 1 since embryo trans, it feels like I have been pregnant for most of the 21st century. How can I be fed up already with so long to go?! hmm

I've been soooo worried and anxious all the way through and even at 13+2 today, I've had 5 scans so far.
I'd probably have 1 a fortnight if I could. Time to chill out a little me thinks.

It's great so many of you are feeling more reassured now as the scans happen.

(I was going to respond to ur messages but have previewed my message and now can't see text and can't remember any names - i have serious pregnancy brain issues - plese accept my apologies, I don't mean to be rude) blush

first1 I am with you - blooming guts!!!! Has anyone got any tips? Sister (who is student midwife) said that elevating feet whilst on the loo can help you go, as can rocking back and forth, helps everything down she says (again sorry for tmi!) Those methods work but they are still after the fact! I have read that more fibre in diet and drinking more water helps, however I think they help too much if you catch my drift!

mustbemadno3 How you doing? Are your lips still swollen? Did you get a call from DV? Did you have stitches?

everyone went to see MW today with DH for what they call a reassurance visit and heard DC's heartbeat - it was so good to hear it (c: Also had BP taken which was lower than before and they were pleased with it - 120/78.

How are people doing?

Add message | Report | Contact poster By Tue 17-Nov-09 16:00:56

mustbemadno3 OMG! How's the lip?! I'm sure you've welded that wire firmly down now?!

wibbela Yup, DH and I are both desperate to know even though its DC1. Find out on 31st Dec but it feels like a lifetime away!

everyone Can I just have a moan please about my blooming tummy! They'll be about 3-4 days when I cant go and then suddenly it feels as if Im giving birth! Then I'll have a day or 2 of going all the friggin time! Please someone give me a magic cure to resume regularity! Sorry for the TMI!

wibbela Yes if I can we are def going to find out what it is, I am desperate to know. I didnt find out with my other 2, but I really want to know this time.

everyone Hows ya luck? Yesterday I accidently ended up talking to a clairvoyant who told me I had 2 children with 1 on the way. He also told me to stay away from computer screens. Guess what happened when I got home??? I trod on the computer wire and the laptop bounced up and smashed me in the face. I put my teeth through my bottom lip and cut open my top lip. Blood everywhere, ended up down a n e with dh. I couldnt actually speak for the swelling and blood so my dh had to explain how I did it. Im sure they thought he had beaten me up. Bet I will be getting a call from domestic violence soon.
LOL

thanks ladies
didn't have a scan in the end - just heard the heartbeat. all strong so no more worries thank god.
that was one of the most stressful weekends i have ever endured. never having experienced bleeding in pregnancy before it is terrifying. but the lovely doc i saw said it could be one of several things and that the pain i'm experiencing is probably separate to the bleeding. bad news is that the pain could last until 18 weeks. maybe longer.
but at least babies safe and well and i can try and get soem sleep tonight!
thanks for you kind words!
