    Just back from the GP where I've had it confirmed I'm due my first baby on the 1st May next year so thought I'd start a thread for us May ladies. I think my actual due date will be later as I don't have standard 28 day cycles but should definitely be first week in May. Delighted to be pregnant as we've been trying for a long time and was beginning to think we'd need help conceiving.

    Anyone else out there?

    By the dates of my last period I'm due April 27th, but I know to within a couple of days when we conceived after that so my due date will mostly likely be early-mid May, so I'm jumping in here too :) I have my doctor's appointment to confirm it tomorrow when I think I will most likely be moving to this thread, I posted a little bit in the April thread.

    How was your doctor's appointment? I feel it's going to be a bit of an anti climax, these 2 weeks since we found out have dragged so badly already!

    It was funny actually - I couldn't pee to produce a sample, had to sit in the waiting room for an hour drinking 2 litres of water and then managed a dribble. As soon as I left the doctors I had to rush home as thought I was going to wet myself :rolleyes: She just did pregnancy test, checked urine for protein/infections etc, palpated my stomach to see if there was any pain, asked about had I decided what hospital etc I was going to and recommended I get the flu vaccine when it's out in a few weeks. That was pretty much it!

    Ok note to self, be prepared to pee! :)

    Glad it went well :)

    Hopefully some more May mammies will come along soon :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,175 ✭✭✭angeldelight


    Or not!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,832 ✭✭✭spottybananas


    Or not!!

    Ah it's still very early to know, most won't know for another few weeks yet.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,175 ✭✭✭angeldelight

    Looks like there'll be a May baby arriving into my house - wife produced positive test last night, real early days, but very excited all the same! We already have a near-3yo boy.

    So found out this wee I'm 5 weeks gone, should be due May 17th. Our little boy will nearly be 3 by then. Slightly scary!


  • Registered Users Posts: 44 MrsB2be


    Hi Ladies,
    Got my BFP last week on baby number 2 :) we are only trying since last month so really surprised at how quickly it is all happening!
    Going by dates, I am due May 13th (ish) although my cycle can be really irregular so could be closer to the end of May :)

    Told our parents the weekend, even though its very early days, were usually very sociable and as soon as I refuse a drink they would guess anyway! :D

    Hope you are all feeling good! x


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,175 ✭✭✭angeldelight


    Glad there's a few people joining in! I don't really have any symptoms at the minute which of course is making me panic, can't win! I'm somewhere between 7 + 1 or 7 + 5 depending on dates, would love some morning sickness or something to reassure me... Famous last words!

    Of all things, don't wish for morning sickness, 24 hour nausea is rotten :( Stretching pains and cramps - irritating but tolerable, tiredness - manageable, but the nausea, it's unbearable. Want to eat nothing, but have to eat something, ugh. You and me are almost exactly the same dates, count yourself lucky from my side if it helps any bit! :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,154 ✭✭✭Dolbert


    +1, I'm 6 months now and the nausea has only gone away in the last couple of weeks! Don't wish it on yourself, some women don't really get it which is brilliant.


  • Registered Users Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    God yeah don't be jinxing yourself! I had constant nausea from 7pm until I went asleep most nights on my first. Actually heartburn and nausea made me do a test again this time. It seems to have settled down now, but I'm not counting my chickens it usually starts later than 6/7 weeks I think.
    Have my first appointment booked already, learnt from last time :)

    Found this good for checking weeks etc last time http://www.babymed.com/pregnancy-calendar-and-calculator-week-by-week


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,175 ✭✭✭angeldelight


    Ah spotty and Dolbert, sorry you've had such a bad time of it. I know I probably sound mad saying I want it I think I just want any sort of reassurance! I suppose that everything's ok. 12 days to my scan so hopefully when I see a heartbeat I'll relax a lot


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,154 ✭✭✭Dolbert


    Ah no I get it! How many weeks are you now? Mine didn't kick in til around 8 weeks.

    7 weeks, tiredness is kind of back today so I'm even happy about that!

    I'm just under 8 weeks, been sick for just over a week, praying that it goes at 12 weeks. The thoughts of possibly feeling like this for longer is horrific. My mum was nauseous until I was born :, (


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 748 ✭✭✭Axel Lamp


    We (the wife & I) found out yesterday. Can't tell anyone so instead I'm going to tell the internet and random strangers..... Very logical :P

    I'm terrified :eek:


  • Registered Users Posts: 2 Maggiek1941


    So so delighted for you all, I haven't got a BFP yet but if I do it would be the very end of May I think. It probably won't happen and it'll be okay if it doesn't happen this month but it's very exciting!!!

    Same here for me and the wife and we found out a couple of days ago, but have to go incognito due to cross over between internet and real life personas.

    Have been trying for a little while, but only tied the knot very recently and not got used to referring to each other as husband and wife even yet. :)

    We are getting a bit long in the tooth though, so will have to hope everything is fine.

    Can finally join one of these threads :)
    Faint BFP yesterday and much stronger this morning including 1-2 weeks on a digital clearblue!! Should be due 31st May as per the date of conception!
    Now to start thinking of hospitals and level of care. Does anyone know if an underactive thyroid makes me more likely to be considered high risk?


  • Registered Users Posts: 75 ✭✭Buttercup78


    I know in the Rotunda you will possibly have to attend a special clinic, and afaik if you go semi private it would be worthless as you end up in the thyroid clinic in the public section anyways.

    Was considering semi private in holles st but need to look into options more.


  • Registered Users Posts: 75 ✭✭Buttercup78


    Yeah check how the clinics are arranged or if you'd even need to attend one. I know I had a friend in semi in the Rotunda and she still had to attend the public speciality clinics.
