Hi
New to the pregnancy forum, just graduated from ttc and cannot believe I'm actually starting this thread but hope there are others out there for May. Not sure exact dates but by my reckoning I'm about 4 weeks pregnant and due around 6th May. So excited. Do I just make a doctors app now or wait a few weeks?

Hi dori
I just started a thread for may 2013, don't know how I missed this. Think I'm due 6th May. So excited. I find it so hard to keep secrets, wish I could fast forward a few weeks!:D

Yep its so hard to keep it a secret! Weve told immediate family, and then its to be a secret until the first scan at 8 - 12 weeks!

We aren't in Ireland, so youd think itd be easier to keep it quiet but it isnt! Its our first pregnancy and we are so excited!

Hi ladies
Well I've no due date but I think it's early may! I can't work it out from dates as haven't had period since I had my little girl 6&1/2 months ago....!! The doc thinks its early as the line wasn't too dark on her test - we'll have to investigate further by ultrasound tho! I'm going back in fri to find out more! Had my first little one by section as she was breech but hoping to have normal delivery this time! Just hoping they don't give out to me too much for falling pregnant within a yr of the section... They did warn me..!
2 under 14 months..... Itll be mad!
Delighted tho

I'm really eager to keep it a secret as long as I can this time - my family all knew at 7 weeks last time and it made it seem quite long! Oh I dunno I'll see how it goes!

I've just found out I'm expecting, it's a major shock! I'm not sure what way to feel about it.

Deep down I always wanted another little cub!

I've a 13yr old and a 10yr old, my OH was made redundant a couple of months ago and is having feck all luck at getting work and I'm just starting to progress in my career, and I'm 38.

****ty timing but I think I'm thrilled

Due date according to my dates is 3rd May 2013. I'm feeling really crap: tired, dizzy, sick, headachey and very crampy. That's what prompted me to do the test.

I haven't even told my OH yet! I can't find the words

Congrats jenniwenni!!!!
I've decided there's no good time!! Best To just go with flow I think! Not much choice now
I bet he'll be delighted

I was at the doc today and I'm def preg..! She thinks about 4/5 weeks! I think closer to 5 myself from the jiggy dates which would leave me due about first week in may also!

Just have to decide on hosp care again and then I guess I'll find out for sure at 12 weeks , well actually no, I think I'll go for a private scan in about 3 weeks and find out how far along then! Think it'll be about 8!
I'm excited I look at my six month old and think... Wowser.... Another!!

Congrats DL, I knew you were when said you got a faint line! You must be delighted

dublinlady

yellow hen - I have to keep repeating the following mantra to myself....' you wanted this... you wanted this...you wanted this!!!!!' purely because i am so tired and feel like such crap! Although I think id probably feel worse if I didnt have a 6&1/2 month old to take my mind off it!

Think ive alot worse symptoms this time than last! I've nausea on and off all day (but no puking yet thank god!!) - im totally exhausted - more than normal - and im very close to crazy at several times every day! I swear once 10am comes a black cloud of rage and torment comes over me - my poor husband doesnt know where to look!!!

All this and im only about 5&1/2 weeks we think!

Hows everyone else doing? Well I hope? I do remember the 2nd trimester being alot better - much more energy and no complaints and a lovely little bump. Its kinda mean of nature to make you feel the worst of it when you cant explain to anyone why!! I started back at work this week - im in a managerial role - I have to keep myself in check as im afraid im being a completely unncecessary b*tch!!!

Roll on another 6-7 weeks!

p.s im still secretly totally and completely delighted - i just love a good moan :p

How Strange

diblinlady I'm 6 weeks and my nausea, motion sickness and tiredness has kicked in a lot earlier this time around. I've yet to see if I go through the absolute horrific two weeks I went through with my first pregnancy but I've been feeling icky pretty much consistently for 2 weeks now.

I've found it waxes and wanes and I'm at my worst after a days work and by the time I put my son to bed I'm feeling exhausted and sick to my stomach. I kind of find work a welcome distraction as I'm usually too busy to think of how I feel. I can be worse on a Saturday or Sunday morning.

I can only face cream crackers until lunchtime and I know I'm going to be so sick of them by 12 weeks.

I've found that drinking green tea with ginger helps as do the motion sickness bands and fizzy water.

I also keep telling myself that I wanted this and that it's a good sign!

I have to start wearing a sacroiliac belt because my back is already acting up and I've 7.5 months and a hell of a lot of growing to do!

Good news- I got accepted on the Coombe domino scheme which I'm thrilled about and hopefully I'll see very little of the actual hospital. You really have to be persistent to get what you want as I was automatically registered with the hospital despite specifically requesting the domino scheme. On the plus side all the Coombe staff I've spoken to so far have been so friendly and helpful. I've got my first app on 1st Oct when I'll be 10 weeks so I'm not going to bother paying for a private early scan.

It's definitely tougher this time around because we have smallies to look after. The last time I nested on the sofa for 8 weeks. Not a chance this time around!

God I hope your nausea improves - whilst I have it - it hasn't reached the point where it's out me off my food mores the pity...!!! When it gets bad at home I use the lillipops - had then from last time - ice pops u buy in a pharmacy for morning sickness! I find they work brilliantly but I can't bring them into work as ppl would see them! They are like small mr freezes except in flavors like ginger or camomile etc!

I've heard also as you said crackers are good - butvud well imagine get very boring very quickly! Could you handle something like a belvita thing? A bit more substanence - alto its prob to heavy on flavour!

How Strange

No dublinlady I can't eat belvita biscuits; they're too heavy. I used to eat them for breakfast before so I like them but can't face them right now. My appetite is great from lunchtime on; I seem to be particularly delicate in the morning time.

Congrats!!
I'd def book an appt with g.p! Any idea when last period was?
Most important thing to take is folic acid - can get on its own or else it's In the pregnancy multivitamins pregnacare etc which also has iron and whole loads of vits and minerals!

GaaMad23

Thanks for that info.I will book app now for next week. i will start taking folic acid asap.Dont know the exact dates of my last period as they are so irregular so im hoping the gp will help me out with that?!!

If you even have a general month it will be useful - but I'd imagine they'll want to check and at 3 weeks plus on clearblue digital - it means post conception so your actually 5+ weeks so they prob will send ya for an ultrasound?
Not sure cos I'm the same with uncertainty about dates but because I found out when test was still faint we kinda know I'm between 5-6 weeks so it's easier!
Exciting tho!

Neyite

Just popping in to wish you all a happy and safe pregnancy. I was on the May 2012 thread, and its mad to think a whole year has passed since I got my positive- Sept 2nd was the date that pink line appeared. My whole life changed in that moment. I was sporting a cute bump by Christmas.

I now have a 16 week old lying on his playmat, kicking and gurgling, he loves to "chat" and is constantly smiling and giggling. The joy he has brought us is amazing. The last year has been a happy happy one and hopefully the first of many.

Best of luck to you all!

GaaMad23

Well i was due my period on aug 5th as i have a six week cycle but they didnt arrive, so i tested 7th aug and it was negative. So i waited and tested sept 4th and it was positive and i tested weds morn on clearblue digital and it said 3+. So i pressume i tested too early in aug and maybe i concieved around then?

GaaMad23

Thanks Neyite, exciting times ahead for everyone here. Id say it feels like yesterday you were back here..

How Strange

Jeez I feel just awful. I'm not even 7 wks and I've felt like this since 4 wks. I just hope it doesn't get any worse because feeling like this constantly is bad enough.

I am so fed up of cream crackers but it's all I can face in the morning. I'm going on hols for two weeks and I think I'll spend most of it lying down. Then I feel sorry for my son because I might t have the energy to play with him.

I just keep trying to remind myself that these are good signs but it's hard to believe that when you're feeling so rotten.

Moan over!

Hope the rest of you are doing well.

ladymuck

That would leave you between 5-7 weeks? Did you see the doc yet? Good luck - I wish I could gain a secret 2 weeks or so... But def dont think I'm any more than 6!

How strange - hope ur ok hun
I seem to have developed this lovely symptom of having the runs in the morning.. Very nice...!

Welcome ladyl!
How old is your older baby? Huge congrats

Mamabear29

I know how you feel "how strange". Im 6 weeks and for the last 3 days i am feeling so sick. The nausea is killing me. That along with the extreme tiredness. I already have a 9 month old who is very busy and teething crazy so not only am i running around after her all day when im not in work, im up half the night with her coz her teeth seem to drive her craziest at night!!! So fun times!! Lucky my OH is very understanding and he can function on about 4 hrs sleep!!!

Does anyone have any suggestions for helping with nausea!?? I didnt suffer at all in my last pregnancy!! I hate crackers and ginger just makes me more nauseous!!! :-(

I'm finding these good for my nausea - which seems to happen if I'm too hungry or too full! No vomiting thank god tho!
http://www.lillipops.com/

I got them in my local pharmacy.

How Strange

I find super splits ice pops help as do red hula hoops but you can't eat them all say everyday unfortunately. I got ginger, fennel and cardamom tea in the health shop today. It tastes mostly of fennel so you don't really taste the ginger. It's quite nice and you can sip it cold.

Yep being pregnant second time around is definitely tougher.

How Strange

I tried to get those lillipops but none of the pharmacies I went to had them and then I just gave up.

They would prob order them in for u? Be worth a phone call maybe - they do help!

Mamabear29

Thanks girls!!! Ill defo try those lollipops if I can get them. Bought mr freezes this evening so once they are frozen ill give them a go too!!! I wouldnt mind if i was physically getting sick. The nausea on its own is horrible!!! :-(
Im hoping it will pass soon!!!
