To the women/men who are expecting a baby or have a baby!
Any worries.. or if anything at all about babies then discuss in here.
I am sure the mums and dads on here will be able to help each other out a lot!!
I have noticed that there is also 1 or 2 expectant teenage/young mums who may be worried about having a sprog.
So any worries or joys.. post in here! Sugar mummy's and daddy's or even those who are.. "broody"

All that to do what some of you lucky souls manage to do by accident or so easily.
I'm scared beyond belief and so lost. We've been trying for so long to be parents - ten years - that I've lost sight of the end goal.
My wife and I had difficulties conceiving - she came off the pill after 10 years and just had no periods at all. We waited a year and a half before getting proper help and had three courses of clomid at increasing doses, but nothing happened.
We were referred for IVF and at 2am on the morning of our first appointment my wife shook me awake to tell me she was pregnant!
Our little girl is four and a half months now and not a day goes by that I don't feel like the luckiest person in the world to have her. It could have been such a different story.
Wanting kids and thinking you'll never have them is a living hell and a lot of people just don't comprehend that. It's so awful seeing people around you have kids with such apparent ease - of course you're happy for them, but it still makes your heart break inside to think you'll never be able to do the same.
So good luck to anyone facing the prospect of IVF etc. I know what you're facing and I hope it goes well for you.
I think I am terribly tired after a visit to the clinic and the injection training. Seeing what we have to do on paper compared to then talking through it is a bit of a kick up the bottom into reality. I'm a bit worried because we've got problems with getting some of the meds due to another communication problem with the clinic we're using. I've been calling to check we've been doing all the right things to ensure we're ready to start today and we're not as they've forgotten a piece of paperwork to the people who supply the meds. Aaaarrgghh!
Good luck darkmoth.
I hope Shadow and Darkmoth have good news soon. I can tell you will be great parents.
Congratulations
I'm just about to hit the 3 month mark tomorrow, and have my first scan on Tuesday! I'm really hoping my sickness will wear off soon as i've been throwing up every day for 2 months now & feeling pretty much non stop nausea! Just horrendous!
I just want to add i wish all those posters the best of luck who are currently going through IVF & hoping for a baby.
Congrats:D
Yes the nausea is just horrible. My sense of smell is so delicate at the mo,can't stand coffee,tea,the smell of perfume etc. Have gone off so many foods too:eek:
absolutely! same here, even gone off chocolate!! :eek:
Slowly starting to get into eating more now, but just gone off so much, especially sweeter things.
Same with strong smells, i've stopped wearing perfume because i can't stand the smell!
Strange isn't it. Gone off choc too,just debating whether I fancy a hot choc. Not had a hot drink in about 2 weeks. Can't get enough salt n shake crisps tho(without the salt). They seem to help with the nausea.
The one hot drink i absolutely love at the moment is Tetleys redbush vanilla tea ( without milk) & it's caffeine free!
But not had a cup of coffee in about 2 or so months now!
I have just got 2 kids the now, one 7 year old wee boy and a 10 month old wee girl. Both are wee stunners and I love them to bits.
My wee boy has a learning difficulty somewhere on the Autism spectrum, we are currently in the diagnosis process for this so learning all about this the now. Big thing about this is the school has never bothered there backside to do anything about this for 2 years and basically since I started doing their job I have got more done in 6 months than they have got done in 2 years.
I'm just over 6 weeks pregnant with baby 2, and the nausea has started to kick in wihch is ddifficult as I'm emetophobic. Hoping it stops soon.
Good luck to you Shadow and Darkmoth, I hope you both get to experience parenthood soon. And I hope that doesn't sound in any way smug or patronising.
Oh congrats mrs B! How is your little girl? I am 16 weeks gone with number 3!
Good luck to Shadow and darkmoth-- I have everything crossed for you both.
We had a great baby thread on DS a while back and there were some wonderful people on there-- a few have crossed over into real life friends of mine whom I really care about and truly like. Hope this is the same.
I shall step away from the thread now - I realise that this morning no happily pregnant ladies and their partners wish to hear about my misfortunes and worries. That, and when the hormones go haywire with the injections and stuff, I can't guarantee I'll be in complete control of my emotions and would hate to upset someone if I posted some sort of irrational observation. I have been guilty of this in the past!
I promise that I will come back and let you know next month it if all worked out okay or otherwise.
Please dont feel pushed out:) Keeping eveything crossed for you x
You shouldn't feel like you need to leave the thread Shadow - you have as much right to be here as any of us!
She's brilliant thank you, she's doing very well :-)
The baby thread seemed to boom and I read it quite a lot and then when I got pregnant a lot of the people who used it had had their babies and it just seemed to stop being so popular, maybe this thread will become the new "pregnancy thread" :-)
Fingers crossed for you shadow! I've just had a 3 month course of 50mg clomid with no success. Have a follow up with the gyno in a couple of weeks but I suspect I am now in for a years wait before they can do anything else for me!
Good luck to all the other expectant couples out there as well!
I'm a first time mum and constantly asking questions!
I have a 5 month old who was born two months prematurely. He's still very teeny, weighing just over 11lb. It's been a rollercoaster 5 months, what with neonatal visits, bringing him home (finally!) and getting used to motherhood.
Good luck to those of you trying for a little one. My fingers are crossed for you!
