Confessions of a secret lurker...

[laracomps]

Ok, following on from the thread earlier (shy wife) - I thought I had better introduce myself, after much nagging from my husband. I thought it was him that had posted! What are you scared of he asks? Well to be honest, I don't really know :s So here goes...

I am almost 25 and come from Essex. I am due on the 10th April with our first baby, which is a girl (I hope! You should see her wardrobe hehe).

I haven't had what I would call an 'easy' pregancy. I had hyperemesis from about 7/8 weeks and was eventually hospitalised at 12 weeks. Luckily they controlled it with tablets - though I still couldn't move off the sofa for about 3 months - thank goodness my work were very understanding.

So now I am left with the dreaded SPD, which I was pretty much guaranteed to get as I have Hypermobility Syndrome (aka Hypermobility Ehlers Danlos Syndrome). I am under consultant care because of the EDS, although she doesn't have a clue - and I had to find information for her!! Hence I am very aprehensive about seeing her again at 38 weeks.

I think thats pretty much it in a nutshell. Sorry that it took so long to introduce myself.

Hopefully I can get to know some of you before I pop.

PS Can I persuade anyone else to come out of the woodwork??

Hi hun, nice to meet you

Oh yes please, sounds like fun. Wonder why April is such a popular month, my midwife has already warned me there's loads of April babies in my area too (though not as bad as May).

I have had a feeling all along that this LO will be a March baby. BUT... I'm guessing that is just wishful thinking

Hello!!!!! Nice to meet you We're not very scary promise!
I'm having a girl too and i've bought her far too many clothes... and shoes. Hehe. I think i'm making up for the fact my wardrobes limited at the moment! Lol.

Sorry it's been tough for you so far! Sounds like you've been through it all! My OH's family (well some of them) have hypermobility so i know a bit about it and it's not too pleasant is it!

Well done on coming out and saying hi!! Wooooo

Hi,

Haven't got to third tri yet (nearly) but was being nosey and thought I'd say hi. Sorry to hear you've had a bit of a nightmare pregnancy.

One of my best friends is also due on the 10th April - she's having a little girl and it's her second.
