hi all. just thought i would start this thread for all those who have been on ttc and finally got there bfp. there seems to have been a lot of us over the past few months and i thought it would be useful to carry on chatting without keep going on in front of those who might find our news difficult or upsetting

we can moan and groan and chat about things that may be worrying us without sounding too obsesed!!!

hope you will all join me xxx

p.s - dont think this means you can all leave ttc. we need to keep up to date with the gossip. and i hope they can start to join us here soon tooo!!! 

Hey Natty, no BFP for me yet but i think this thread is a great idea and i hopoe to get mine soon so i can join you.

I dont find others getting there BFP upsetting although i must admit maybe a little bit jealous.

Hope you are well and hope to join you on here offically soon.

As you said always pop over to TTC to see how we are doing as we love to hear from you to.

xxx

hello all. yey!!! congratulations all!!!

i am so so pleased for you all. i was getting a little lonely. good to see so many bfp.

nicole - i am so so pleased that it has happened again for you so quickly. must have been a rollercoaster ride for ya. last i heared you had m/c and were back to ttc but needed to have af show first. so what happened? how far gone are you? bet your over the moon?

hi sarah - us baylis/s girls must be supper fertile!! how you feeling today?

so girlies what does it feel like being in the club after all this time? bet you cant quite beleive it? it took weeks for it to really sink in. i still forget sometimes im pregnant. but i keep haveing the odd twinge of pain to remind me!! and some little flutters too. its dead exciting even second time around. 

i also know about lisa but i also heared that loopy got a bfp too. is that right? not heared from her so is all ok? let me know.

well keep popping back for updates ladies

laura - hope you can join us soon too honey. fingers crossed af will make an appearence soon so you can get back on track. and i know that us blabbing prob wont upset you all but it can seem a little insensitive if we all moan about aches and pains and vomiting when all you want is to experince all that. but will keep popping on each night to see ya.

well gott go do some work. speak later all xxx 

natty i spoke to the doctor with regards to TTC after m/c and he sed and i quote "there is no medical reason why u cant start trying as soon as the bleeding has stopped, the only reason we say to wait is so we can work out the correct due date" so we carried on TTC we will never foget that baby but we felt that TTC straight away was the best thing for us to do, so i have had an "af" as such since the m/c on the 27th May, and we are over the mooooon , i have done so many test hehe, and the hosptial too confirmed it, i will be having an earlier scan too in a couple of weeks, got my first midwife appointment on the 29th of this month which i sud be round about 8-9 weeks

im glad all is well with u and bump xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hey Night Owl Nat!

There you are...finally!!!!!  I've been trying to tell you my good news for weeks!  But you disappeared off the Dec thread the day before I found out I am pregnant!

Yay! 

I love the idea of this thread!  I wish I thought of it!

Hi old friends

Hiya!  Sorry, just jumped in the bath.  All clean now  

I feel completely whacked today - and I'm off to a BBQ - designated driver.  DH's loving it.  Still trying to keep the pregnancy from everyone.  Won't tell friends or family until August.  Let's hope they don't guess this afternoon.  I know MIL is waiting for news

Catch up with you all later xxxxxxxxxx 

hello all.

cONGRATULATIONS LOOPY!!! that is fab news. and your due date is my birthday which makes it even more exciting.

sorry bout disappearing. had a nightmare with sky getting our net back up after moving house. but its back on now so i can have a good gossip. had an idea we might have a bfp when i came back. but 4 is amazing. so how far along are you my sweet? any sickness etc?

nicole - thats great that it happened so quickly. you will never forget the angle you had but its fab you can get happiness so quickly. you must be super fertile at the mo. the good news i think you and oh needed after all the health scares you have had.

well better go. sat on cold floor (not good for preggy women who is so prone to piles!!) and bumb going numb.

will be surfing for a few more minutes so pop and say hi if your still around xxx 

I am 8+3...still early days...but it feels like I've been pregnant for ages!  My midwife has given me the 27th as my due date but I am 100 percent convinced my due date is 25 Feb. 

I have an early scan booked for next Friday - because I am too bloody impatient to wait until 19 August for the standard one!

If it's born on 25th it's my 14-year-old cousin's birthday, if it's born on 27th it's your birthday Nat, and if it's late and born on 6th March it's my sister's birthday!  So all good

I have no sickness and really no symptoms at all.  How about you guys? 

Nat you're ahead of us all so you can give us all your new-found knowlege!  What have you learnt already?  Are you due your second scan soon? 

I feel sorry for you, but I guess you are pleased

Hopefully it will ease off in a few weeks - and then you will just have to contend with all the other problems - piles, varicose veins, stress incontenence...

Sounds good huh?  I can't wait  

Heygirls,

Wow you paint such a pretty picture of pregnancy!!

I'm due 12th March, if it's a month early on 12th Feb was my grandads bday, 19th feb, cousins bday, 8th march friend from works bday, 19th march, best mates bday (she is demanding I hold it in if I go into labour on her bday) and SIL's bday on 21st march. OH is demanding it'll be born on no bodies bday but it's own.

Feeling very fat today, and slightly sicky, boob ache has come back too lol.

Hope everyones feeling good today xxxxx

ha ha. you only got your family and friends birthdays to worry about. i have the most important one to saty clear of...................JESUS!!! ha ha. it will be just my luck to give birth on christmas day. hopefully santa will bring me extra special presents tho.

glad to hear you are all ok.....ish. i was very lucky not to have sickness with either of my pregnancies (well this one is still early days but would be unlucky to have late morning sickness really!) i am feeling pretty good at the moment and no major complaints (apart from sore back and pelvis but thats only gonna get worse so will hold off the complaining just yet!!) i gotta say the past month has flown. seems like ages ago i had my 12 wk scan. i does really drag until then but then aftere the scan it flys by.

went on to see everyone on the due feb and march threads. did i see natalie g is expecting too? my god. thats another ttc lady isn't it. thats 5 in 6 weeks!!! there must be something in the water. what about some of the oldies i havn't seen yet. es? linzi? lil one? karen? where are they all at the mo? i assume they are all ttc?

oh and before i forget lou. how did oh take the news? has it got round to the idea of a sprog? hope so.  xxx

Lol Sarah!  I don't think swallowing sperm gets you pregnant.  That's where we've been going wrong all this time

Nat, DH took it remarkably well.  Very laid back.  Said he figured it would happen soon or later - especially with me harping on about babies so much.

We're still working out how we're going to juggle the bills when I'm on maternity leave.  I can't believe how little us ladies get on SMP.   Fortunately hubby can just about afford bills and mortgage on his own.  That means I am responsible for food, nappies and other bits and bobs on my £117 a week.  Not looking forward to being poor!

I've just read a post on the due Aug thread that annoyed me.  This poor woman went for an ante-natal appointment and had to wait an hour.  Then the dr only spent 30 secs on the scan and didn't answer any of her concerns.  She's measuring big for her dates and the dr didn't bother measuring her uterus to check.

THEN!  Dr showed her the door and when she checked her notes discovered that the dr had recorded that she'd measured her uterus (36 weeks) and said she'd taken her blood pressure - when she hadn't!!!  Fortunately she complained and got another appointment where measurements showed her at 39 weeks.

How shoddy is our NHS?!?! GRRRR  

my god. some drs really do not care about us women! it is always worth having a support at appointments so you can get backup if things seem to be going a little pete tong! unfortunatly hubby is having probs getting time off this time so i am attending on my own which is sad. i have one in the morning and will hear the heart beat which is fab but bit sad he wont hear her. but hes hopeing to get the next scan free.

glad hubby took the news well. i knew he would come round! xxx
