Not me, Im in December. Starting this for those of you that are hesitant to.

Hope you dont mind.

strawberrie · 16-07-2016 09:52PM

Thanks fits! Here's hoping this thread grows and grows and we do too

VandC · 17-07-2016 03:53AM

Just got my bfp yesterday. Baby no 2. I'm awake now, feeling so ill. Had that hyperemesis gravidarum last time but was from seven weeks not four. Hope I don't get it this time round. Other than that all good no symptoms. How's all the other expectants out there?

pooch90 · 17-07-2016 08:01AM

I'm tentatively jumping in!
I think I'm due around March 9th, but not 100% on my dates, which is very unlike me but tracking app crashed when had my last period and I never thought to try and input it again.
Have a little man that will be 6 months tomorrow so this pregnancy a bit of a shock. More worried this time than I remember being at the start last time. Just want the next 6 weeks to go smoothly so I can get a scan. Not going to opt for an early scan I don't think. Only finished my maternity leave on July 2nd and found out on July 5th! Thankfully, I'm off for the summer so have until end of August before I've to go back to work and should be gone at Xmas-September again.

strawberrie · 17-07-2016 09:23AM

Due March 13th, tho have 25 day cycle so some apps saying earlier. Have early pregnancy unit app this Fri so hope to know more then.
Yours are close together and mine very far apart. My daughter's last school book for leaving cert maths arrived in the post one day and the next day I had a positive test result. V excited and very nervous. Trying to remember the last time, the nausea and morning sickness stand out. Amazed at all the apps and information out there now, I got my first mobile phone when pregnant the last time and no one else in my family had one, definitely easier to find out information but can be worrying when you read too much too sometimes.
Also trying to talk about where we should go for prenatal care and public V private debate. Personally I think public is very good in Ireland and maybe I should save the money towards college fees next yr!

pooch90 · 17-07-2016 10:48AM

Wow, we are totally different ends of the spectrum so strawberrie!
I went public with little fella in Cork in January, couldn't have been happier-room with one other lady and the staff were great. I was attending mid wife led clinic for appointments, much quicker than attending hospital. Only downside was I only got 3 scans in total-12,20+22 weeks.

strawberrie · 17-07-2016 09:30PM

Thanks pooch, think I'd be very happy with three scans if things progress ok. I was semi-private the last time but straight after delivery I was placed in a public ward, I didn't notice and fell fast asleep. They woke me up to move me to the semi private ward, it was lovely but I never quite got back to sleep like that again.
You must have pretty much everything you will need bought and ready at home now for number one. Hopefully it makes this new arrival very easy for you.

pooch90 · 18-07-2016 07:09AM

I don't think there will be anything easy about two under 2 unfortunately! We had always planned to have them close enough if we could, bought a travel system that can be adapted into a double so we really don't need anything thankfully. I'm just worried that number one won't get the best of me, probably silly I know.

strawberrie · 18-07-2016 07:30AM

You'll definitely be very busy, but they will have so much fun playing together and growing up together in time. Try not to worry, you clearly have lots of love to give!

pooch90 · 18-07-2016 08:36AM

Aw thank you. It's all just a whirlwind, this time 2 years ago we were 2 weeks away from getting married and now we are pregnant with our second child!!
Are you feeling well Strawberrie?

strawberrie · 18-07-2016 08:46AM

Yes, hormones definitely kicking in tho had my first but of nausea on sat and cried over a silly story I read last week. So tired but awake really early and starving. I'm off work at the moment so definitely spending too much time thinking about it.
Went to see my elderly nan at the weekend with family. Unfortunately there was a health warning up and pregnant people were advised not to go in. It was really awkward as only my oh knows so far and we feel it's too early to tell anyone else. Had a funny time avoiding being in the ward. Really wanted to see her too, she hasn't long left and I'd love her to know.
How are your symptoms, is it different for you this time? Sounds like you've had an amazing two years!

pooch90 · 18-07-2016 09:47AM

Definitely a crazy two years but great.

That's really tough about your nan, could you write her a letter and send it in with OH?

I'm quite weepy too and wrecked and starving. So far, same as last time. I wasn't sick at all with first, just got pelvic girdle pain for last 6 weeks but that hasn't fully gone away so hoping it doesn't kick in too early this time.

It's nice being off work when you are so tired at the start, I'm a senior infant teacher and was in the middle of school plays,end of year madness and reports at this stage last year. At least now I can go for a nap with bubba if I need to.

I really need to go to the GP but keep putting it off.

I'm lamenting never getting back into pretty bras!!

dreamstar · 18-07-2016 02:08PM

Oh finally a March thread - I didn't want to start it myself! :P
I'm due 4th March - all going well. Still in happy shock that I'm actually pregnant. Was diagnosed with ovarian cancer last summer, had one ovary removed and finished chemo last February. So I feel like this is a miracle. Have had a miscarriage before so am still really nervous.

I've had two scans already - they are keeping a close eye on me which is great. Last scan showed a strong heartbeat at 160bpm AND another heartbeat which wasn't so strong at 79bpm. They didn't seem too optimistic about the smaller embryo so I have another scan on Thursday to check on them.

So far I'm doing ok symptom wise - Just SUPER tired!

strawberrie · 18-07-2016 02:45PM

Wow Dreamstar that is some roller coaster for you! Great to hear that your treatment went so well and this miracle is happening for you. Life is full of surprises! Lovely to know they will be monitoring you so carefully as well.
Also lovely to see four mums to be for March here too now

I'm teaching also Pooch so making the most of this break. I'd say work and pregnancy tiredness/nausea are no fun.

........it's not.

:D:D
I shouldn't complain - my nausea isn't too bad at all. I just need to distract myself........But the tiredness!
One of the days last week I was so tired that I just went to the bathroom, lay my head on the toilet roll dispenser and closed my eyes for a few minutes.

Bananas123 · 20-07-2016 11:00PM

Hi Ladies,

I'm due 19th March. Still in absolute shock! First pregnancy and so nervous... We couldn't keep it in and told our parents once the GP confirmed it all. Counting the minutes to 12 weeks! Calling Holles Street tomorrow to register.

Love2love · 21-07-2016 01:44PM

Hi Ladies,

So excited. I'm due I think around 24th March. Just found out last night! We've been trying for a couple of months and had a chemical last November which I would have been due this week so I'm grateful and extremely nervous at the same time!

Dreamstar I'm so pleased to see you on the thread as I read your story a while back.

No symptoms yet apart from a coldsore.

CheerLouth · 22-07-2016 07:57AM

Hi All,

I'm due Feb 28th but my last baby was over a week late so I expect this baby will be an early March arrival. Am 8 weeks now & feeling ok. Bit of nausea but no actual getting sick. Just totally exhausted! Got my booking app for 12+1, can't wait for it.

I also had a massive coldsore when I was 4 weeks - they are an absolute curse

dreamstar · 22-07-2016 04:07PM

Aw so great to see people joining and thanks so much love2love! To be honest I can't believe I'm here!
I had my second scan yesterday. At my fist scan there were two heartbeats but sadly there was only one yesterday. It's what I'd expected would happen as the embryo was smaller than the other and the heart rate was a lot slower. But I didn't think it would be gone so quick. It's kinda sad - and makes you think that this probably happens all the time but isn't picked up.
Anyway our little embryo is a perfect size and we could really hear the heartbeat so clearly - it was amazing! I had an appointment with my oncologist in Holles St after and he was SO happy for us. Have to say the nurses and consultants is Holles St are so nice! I have been under most of the consultants there at one stage or another and they are all just so lovely! So my next appointment is another scan next week.

Amigone · 22-07-2016 05:10PM

Hi all

I'm just gone 7 weeks, first pregnancy. Really really nervous and just want to get to my scan which is booked for week 11.

Bit overwhelmed by it all - it happened pretty much on our first try and we didn't expect it so quickly. Thought I'd have more time to figure stuff out.. like how babies actually work,etc! Delighted and very excited though.

Feeling horrible tired for about four weeks solid now, all I want to do is sleep. Nausea most of this week but I'm not sure if it is a tummy bug or morning sickness, hoping former!

Hope you all feeling well x

LegacyUser · 22-07-2016 09:07PM

Found out last night I am P, had suspected it but didn't want to test incase I was disappointed. Due March 23rd. Have a little girl who just turned two. Excited but Very nervous this time as I had quite bad post natal depression after my little girl. Had never had anything like it before and kind of came out of nowhere when she was six weeks. I came through it with lots of support but a little afraid I'll get it again.

dub8 · 23-07-2016 08:03PM

Hey girls! I'm very cautiously joining this thread! I'm due around 28th March , only found out a few days ago ! I have a daughter who will be 2 in a few days ! I had a miscarriage in March at 14 weeks , it was a very tough time and I ended up with a few admissions back to hospital afterwards , took 3 months for everything to be sorted and be given the go ahead to try agin. Luckily I got pregnant on first try , a bit nervous but trying best to stay positive and keep busy up until 12 week scan ! These forums are great for first trimester when you can't tell people you are pregnant but want to talk about it ! H

Pudner7 · 23-07-2016 08:18PM

Hi all, tentatively posting here too. Due March 18th according to my app. I've no symptoms whatsoever except period type back pain for the last week. This is my 2nd. My first just turned one so I'm nervous about two under two!! Looking forward to getting to 12 weeks and loving being able to talk about it here!

My LO is just gone eleven months. I can empathise with the nervousness!

Hi VandC, it'll be fun but tough I'm sure. My brothers and sisters and I are all 18months apart and all pretty close and had a great childhood so I'm hoping mine will buddies too!

LegacyUser · 23-07-2016 09:21PM

Congrats girls! I found out yesterday that I'm pregnant, period was 2 weeks late but wasn't concerned as we were being careful. Took a test just to rule it out and got a HUGE shock when the test line showed up immediately :eek:

I already have a 1 year old and a 2 year old and things were just starting to quieten down for us and get easier. Oh well :pac:

Have to post this as a guest as all my family and friends know my regular username.

Exciting times!! Good luck to everyone!

pooch90 · 24-07-2016 07:31AM

Wow, thank god there's others with smallies due around the same time, my guy was 6 months on Monday and teething, yay for first trimester exhaustion on top of that!

Love2love · 25-07-2016 10:52AM

I just booked my pregnancy in online with Holles Street. EEkkk!!! Of course I don't expect an appointment for a while just yet.

How's everybody doing? I'm exhausted but I always am on Mondays

Ooooh excitement!
I'm REALLY tired and started to feel sick literally just in the last few days. The only time I don't feel the nausea is when I'm eating. So I'm trying to eat little and often and get out for walks etc.
Still getting cramps every so often and the very odd bit of spotting - anyone else getting this?

Still can't believe it's real! Ahhhhhhh!

I'm feeling really sick today. Am struggling at work here. Feel like if I could just be sick, I'd feel ten times better.
