August 2011 babies

Hey RTT, I've updated the list for you. Good to hear you're feeling good so far, I am as well apart from the odd twinge and I think I have a UTI so I will talk to my MW about that on Thurs.

Peaches, that must have given you a scare! I have read that some spotting can be quite common in early preg, I'm sure you're all good

I have had spotting with both my pregnancies. It's either implantation bleeding or break-through bleeding.

Hugs Peaches

I would have panicked too - we all would have!!!! Bet your glad you've got your midwife sorted so early!!!!

I'm going to use an OBGYN that's been referred to me by a friend.... With the operation I had last year, apparently it can cause premature labour as the cervix has been thinned.... so thought I'd better go to a specialist the whole way through...

it has stopped I only really noticed it when I went to the loo and I had no pain or anything so I'm sure peanut is fine    I was going to txt DH but figured it wouldn't do any good us both worrying, so have just put on a movie am laying in bed and I have plenty of water and some food so a day in bed i reckon, might be able to catch up on some sleep too

Awww man, thought I'd found a good MW and I was really excited about her. Just gave her a call and got an answer phone and out flows this half-hour long (ok exaggeration), really ponsy sounding message that goes along the lines of:
"Sorry I can't take you call, my phone might be out of service, or maybe its X, or it could be X. If you are calling within normal business hours please call my home line on ********, I repeat that ********. If you call is of an urgent midwifery nature please call my pager on ********, I repeat that *******..." I hung up once I got that far.
And she's a Pom *slaps forehead* (haha, my Dad is a Pom)
So I rang her home line and I got ANOTHER ponsy sounding answer phone message.

*shakes head* Nope, don't think her seemingly quiet, "proper" nature will mesh very well with my out spoken, brash self.

Better start hunting for another one.

LOL!!!!!

No ponsy person will be looking at my vajayjay that's for sure!!!!

The obgyn I've been referred to is down to earth and very funny apparently - sounds right up my alley!!!!

I hope to get an appt with him next week - need referral from my Dr, which I'll get on Thursday...

Until then I'm constantly undie checking and POAS!!!! Please tell me it's not just me....

Went out and bought a pack of FR and a clearblue today - to go with the 20 ICs at home.... hubby thinks I'm insane, but this just doesn't feel real, so will have to keep testing.... and I just don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing that second line

Anyone had any preggo symptoms yet? I know they don't really come in for a couple more weeks... but am over thinking them... same as TWW symptom spotting.

I've got none, apart from bought some strawberries for lunch... really felt like them... they looked amazing.... and I love them... usually.... now they make me fee blugh!!!!! Got me a couple of packets of gingernuts to keep in my drawer at work for emergencies

Hey KM, I'm a serial undie checker too, it's hard not to be isn't it?? I have only done two tests though, I've got one left that I think I will do on Thurs morning before I see the MW just to make doubly sure. It would be pretty crap turning up and her going "you're not pregnant, you're a crazy person!"

As for symptoms I have sore boobs, crampy twinges off and on, bloating, SO tired and nausea first thing in the morning, but it goes away when I eat breakfast.

I'm struggling with the whole "what can and can't I eat" thing. I'm gluten intolerant as well and now that I'm pregnant it makes it twice as hard! I usually have sushi every day for lunch How are you guys getting on with the food thing?

I'm LOVING being pregnant though! LOVE LOVE LOVE it! It's such an awesome, surreal feeling

Started to panic there for a second, had a bit of brown blood this morning so just spoke to my midwife, should be fine apparently, she said to call her straight away if it turns bright red but she said it should be fine. I never actually had it with my other 3 not that I ever noticed anyway. Now I feel like a complete nob! lol

sorry to lurk but i had this with both successful pregnancies..i know it can be super stressful it's awful but for me it worked out brilliantly hopefully does for you too:)

just lurking from the july thread, congrats ladies

oooooooo would be nice if it is a boy thing

Haven't had anymore since yesterday afternoon and I am feeling fine this morning (of course a little queezy) but yeah feeling fine, had a better sleep last night too.

Morning other August ladies - how are you today?
