April 2009 mummies!

**MummyPig** · 08-08-2008, 10:41am

I think a few of us had bfps this week, can we start an April mums thread?

I saw the doctor this morning (the one who can NEVER say my name right) and she put my due date as April 10th. (Babycentre says April 9th - how are they different? I have cycle of 28 days

) which makes me a mere 5 weeks pregnant.

Note to Damsels - make sure you are using hpt and not ovulation kits in unmarked wrappers from 18 months ago!!

Apart from odd dreams and a big appetite (already!!) I am feeling pretty good. However I am looking after my niece as well as B for the summer holiday so ask me again in 3 weeks how tired I am!

congrats again kerry and congrats to the other arpil mummies, I know there are a few around

kerry my doc worked my edd to be 28th March

also based on 28day cycle, which is so wrong, on 28day cycle my would be 26th but due to earlier OV its 25th. I think theyjust use that circle thing which isnt always accurate. with my scan yest I am spot on with my dates

**MummyPig** · 08-08-2008, 01:40pm

Thanks FT, to you as well!

It's an eternity till I'll get a scan.. have you posted your scan pics? Yes that little circle thing was a day out with me last time... not that the due date meant a thing last time!

Meanwhile I'll just sit here on my own awaiting others to join me

Ooh congratulations Kerry! That is fantastic news!

Funkytotts and Kerry I really don't understand how the docs get such different dates

It makes my brain

thinking about it

I am

that I will be an April mummy too.

Baby centre has calculated my due date as 15 April. I think i am 4 weeks and 5 days today.

I am pretty terrified to be honest but I am hoping lightening will not strike twice (I had a mc last October).

I am going to see my consultant on Tuesday (I have been taking Metformin to help with falling pregnant) and then i guess I will need to make an appointment to see my GP.

I only have sore

and occasional nausea. I am really hoping for super stonking symptoms over the coming weeks.

I hope we both have super sticky happy pregnancies!

Thanks for starting the thread too!

I hope that there will be lots of other April mummies coming over to join us really soon.

Congratulations girls!! I'm so happy for you and also a little bit

as I was an April mummy this year. I can remember how excited I was getting my bfp. You enjoy every minute of it (even the sickness if you can

) because you'll miss it so much when you've not got a bump anymore, even though you've got a gorgeous wee bundle. I have major bump envey just now

Anyway I digress, congratulations again and a happy, healthy pregnancy to all of you

Just being very nosey and congrats guys!
Plus, Kerry your date may be different as your Doc may have worked it out using a leap year and baby centre may not have (I'm sure I had this!!)

Congrats all - I am so pleased to see these April bfps! I was originally a May mum but clearly X thought that April was a much better month to be born in

I'm going to be shamelessly lurking here!

**mrsnozza** · 10-08-2008, 08:47pm

I'm an April mummy too

I have been lurking around in march mummies though as I was one of the first I think (posted my BFP thread about 2 weeks ago, EDD April 4th)

So, I'm just 6 weeks and sickness has well and truly kicked in - it was my birthday on Friday and I had to cancel a meal with my DH and another with a close friend because I feel so

. God knows how I am going to manage to get through work this week (no-one knows yet).

I've seen my GP to get in the system, have to phone to book an appointment with the mw, but am leaving that a couple of weeks.

Congratulations to you all and looking forward to this thread getting busier!

Yay! More of you on here, hurrah!
Is it slightly crazy that I am already thinking about names?

None of them seem to go with Brooke. I went to a barbecue today and couldn't stop eating. I am going to be huge and obsessed with names for 9 months!

Congrats to Claire and MrsNozza! Shall I start a signature with our dates in? Are you going to find out the sex? I shall be having another surprise.

Peridot that could explain the discrepancy... it is an extra day in a leap year isn't it?

Ajedrez you lurk away, very welcome!

And thank you Funky_Totts and Calamity, I will try to enjoy being sick and tired, in a very thankful way.

**claireh** · 11-08-2008, 10:09am

Mrs Nozza congrats to you too!! Yeah, there are three of us now. There are two other Damsels that I remember posting about their BFP's. I hope they will be along to join us soon.

It must be really horrible feeling so sick but I guess it is a good sign that your hormones are doing what they should be doing.

I am feeling queasy this morning.

Last week I only got nauseous at lunch time. Hopefully this is a good sign

(there is likely to be a lot of use of this smiley for quite a few more weeks on this thread! ).

Peridot, Calamity and Ajedrez thank you for you lovely kind wishes. Calamity and Ajedrez I hope that we all have April babies just as cute as yours.

Peridot it is not too long now until you will be meeting your baby!

Kerry I am happy to be added to a signature. I guess it doesn't make any difference to whether things will go ok or not.
