humanfraggle wishes she had retaliated at the kids party at the weekend, when DH's Nanna marched over to me and lifted my top up to examine my belly
Tigress is totally in love with her bump band. Put on the old work trousers specifically for "fat days" even these did not cut it so I undid the buttons, took off the belt and slipped into the bump band. I feel FREE!!!!
Tigress has gained quite a bump in the space of 4 weeks!

hoops has just sneezed and a bit of wee came out 
First1 is not a fan of increased discharge!
Jamandjerusalem is looking forward to tea and toast at some point in July 2010
Slacksally is desperate to tell everyone she is pregnant, even though she and DP still haven't decided whether they can keep the baby 
Slacksally can't come to your hen night/birthday/piss up because people ask too many questions regarding her not drinking, which just goes to prove what a sop she was before.

UnrequitedSkink is being driven mad not being allowed to tell anyone she's pregnant yet!
MiniMilk has just been told that the horrendous cough & sore throat she has had for the last 3 weeks, which was diagnosed as a chest infection last week, is actually "just" down to acid reflux 
, & may well not go away til the baby is born...but thats another 12 weeks away!!

AngelaCarleen honestly thinks that the baby is sapping all her brain cells. I can no longer multitask, I can't even single-task
can't believe she has fooled her in-laws for 4 months now! Tee hee.
Bondwife would like to remind her husband that we are trying to keep the pregnancy quiet and telling everyone that she looks blooming, lovely and extremely pretty when she looks like XXXX is starting to rise some eyebrows!

can't believe I've turned into a complete whale at only 23 weeks pregnant, was so much smaller with DC1!! AngelaCarleen can't believe that it's another 6 weeks and three days until she can have sex. Wishing DH was home now, although still hasn't got a clue where he'll sleep, I'm rather enjoying a king size bed all to myself . Poor Dh if he comes home after 4 months and I've gone off it again

Tigress is now 14 weeks preggers and is not showing or wearing any maternity clothes. She is however very tired and had an hour long nap in the middle of the day.
Tigress doesn't feel like eating anything except toast, crackers and rice krispies.

lilmissmummy was in maternity trousers and her hubbys t-shirts at 7 weeks and hasnt even seen the midwife yet!
lilmissmummy is SOOOOOOOO tired that she cant even be bothered to find the remote to turn the tv over and thats not because she is lazy (well maybe a little!)

Shiregirl is frankly tired of puking & warns the next person to tell her it will be over soon will get a snack in the face. She also misses rare steak, brie, red wine by the bucket & Yes, her fags.
MiniMilk has discovered that she cannot go to the cinema anymore - seats so uncomfortable for my back & stomach so full of gas from fanta I stupidly drank that stomach was rock hard by end so had to get DP to help me up from my seat!! sorry if that tmi?!!
sorry if that tmi?!!wish I could write -
would like to tell the "friend" who said I need to get out more so I have more interesting conversation to f* off! I'm 30 weeks preggers and quite happy to take it easy!

AngelaCarleen has bought sexy new maternity bras, NOT!! They are bloody comfy though
GracieGirl is slightly bewildered, someone at work today ran up to me and shouted OMG you suddenly look pregnant when you didn't yesterday! (I think maybe I just needed a fart! but then again I'm 17 weeks now and this bump has got to appear at some point!)
(I think maybe I just needed a fart! but then again I'm 17 weeks now and this bump has got to appear at some point!)Tigress wafted around Mamas and Papa this afternoon eyeing up all the gorgeous maternity wear. Soon...
pyjamababe is now 14 weeks and 4 days and is looking forward to having a proper bump rather than just looking like she ate all the pies. (Which she did, incidentally).
ps HOW FANTASTIC ARE MATERNITY JEANS??!! Wish I had found them years ago, great for an emergency wee as no button or zip

AngelaCarleen is looking forward to seeing her mummy tomorrow who she hasn't seen since she found out she was pregnant (ten weeks ago!) AngelaCarleen is also worried about the description of the cardy her Aunt is knitting for her bean, sounds awful
MiniMilk thinks she has overdone the whole 'not worrying about what I'm eating when pregnant' thing...am so fed up of eating junk that I'm actually looking forward to no longer being pregnant so I can start dieting again!! until then, going to start healthy eating until craving for doughnuts becomes too strong!!
until then, going to start healthy eating until craving for doughnuts becomes too strong!! mrsbean78 is mildly horrified by her maternity bra fitting, in which last year's 34A's have morphed into this year's 40DDs. Husband is pretty thrilled, mind you..
k has just realised she hasnt poo'd in 9 days. Must break out the Movicol.
I told my three year old baby will come out of my belly button (thought it a bit to early for the truth) But after watching a goat give birth on nature programme she ran around the house screaming asking why baby was comming out of the goats minky! so maybe the truth is best.
GracieGirl has just been asked by my friends 3 year old (his mum is 28 weeks pregnant) how the baby will get out. erm???? I've volunteered to babysit when his mum goes into labour so I need some ideas!!!!
Congrats Tigress, it's a great feeling
*guidelines...cant spell now either!!
Oh & congratulations on your scan Tigress

MiniMilk is exactly, if not slightly under, guidlines for weight gain at her stage in pregnancy...so why do I look so big??!!! fed up of everyone coming up to me & stroking/staring at my stomach before commenting on how huge it is!!!

Woodhj forgot how wonderful feeling your baby move for the first time is!
Tigress is waiting for DH to get back home from London so we can go to 12 week scan! Problems on the train this morning, hope this is not the case this afternoon!
Storked would like to say that it turns out the flu she mentioned the other week on FB was just masking the first signs of morning sickness. Now six weeks in, throwing up with the best of them, watching my breasts expand at a rate of knots, enjoying those delightful waking nightmares and sweats, and generally feeling like a big pile of poo. How'd ya like THEM apples?
AngelaCarleen is loving being pregnant today. For once not feeling ill (yet), not absolutely exhausted (yet) and wondering whether the second wind that your supposed to get in 2nd trimester has finally appeared (only three weeks late!)
MiniMilk has had really bad heartburn all day any solutions except for running out & buying loads of Gaviscon??!! Normally goes away when I eat anything but no such luck today, owww!!

Josiejo79 is due today and is pretty sure baby is not going to say hello.
Josiejo79 is going to strangle her sister if she texts me everyday to find out if i have gone into labour! It's going to get old and fast.

Tigress must have a nap later!

Thandeka waves at Graciegirl for being at same stage with similar history. (yay for cyber mumsnet twins!)
Thandeka is almost past the sickness stage but still not eating vegetables as they still make her feel funny. Yellow food is getting boring now.
Thandeka has loads of baby stuff hidden everywhere so DH doesn't find it and freak out, including a cot hidden behind the sofa (ebay bargain!).

veryworried is tired of being tired and tired of all this darn waiting. hmpff.
Tigress cannot believe she is booking in for an NCT course in April. Seems quite a way off and like another life?!
Is starting to wonder whether she should go to a different hospital to give birth. Really not fancying the dr at work being there when I'm in labour, especially since he keeps joking about giving me an episiotomy
Don't think I want people I work with looking at my floof

Congratulations on your scan Angela! Maybe your Bean was dancing and just hasn't learnt to stand yet?? Funny though!
Gracie is really pleased for her friend who's scan showed twins, but is also ever so slightly pleased its not her! Good luck mate!

Oh Tigress, I remember your thread from conception and just wanted to say Congratulations
AngelaCarleen is so embarassed that her Bean showed her up at the scan by actually having a paddy. Well thats what it looked like, Bean was laying face down and kicking legs and thumping fists . Deary me, I can only imagine Tesco in three years...
. Deary me, I can only imagine Tesco in three years...Tigress is SUCH a pregnant lady. Queued for ages to get a new maternity bra fitted at M&S and then dashed home to quickly have something to eat before feeling really ill.
Tigress Is torturing her poor MIL, have told her about pregnancy but have also told her that she cannot tell ANYONE until the scan is out of the way in 11 days. MIL may burst with excitment *EVIL LAUGH*
AngelaCarleen is havng a bad day. Spent the morning crying and feeling sorry for herself that DH isn't going to be there this afternoon, then thought the bunny was going to die, now thinks she may have over reacted (the vet thinks AngelaCarleen is a crazy rabbit lady). Now sat covered in bunny fur wondering how to get it all off before her scan in an hour.
Tigress has her 12 week scan date!!!!
Tigress is enjoying dreaming of lovely floaty tops and stretchy belly jeans

Josie is sick of snapping at everything my DH says and knows that she is being a total bitch! I am also a little concerned that i wont go back to normal after the baby has been born and continue to be an irritable, snappy cow.
Thandeka is 14 weeks and 3days and is fed up of the nausea and vomiting. Although it has eased she still threw up all her tea last night. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Want to feel human again. And want to stop having afternoon sleeps and feeling bleugh. I have stuff to do.
Josie will save Gracie some battenburg for the excellent onion idea.
Gracie thinks maybe josie could keep an onion and a chopping board handy and then she could pretend to have watery eyes for a sensible reason, then carry on with that battenburg cake!
Gracie hopes josie saves her a slice of battenburg.

josiejo79 is sick of her DH laughing at her when she has a highly irratic moment.
josiejo79 can't help that we fell pregnant without planning it and does feel terrible for my friend who has been struggling for ages, but that doesn't mean she be mean to me and have stopped talking to me for the last 25 weeks of my pregnancy!
josiejo really just wants to cry all the time and stuff my face with battenburg cake but is a bit concerned that someone might knock at the door.

Graciegirl is jealous of MiniMilk, I'm the only 14 weeks pregnant person in the world who is still 34AA!! Come on hormones, you've managed nausea, sickness, constipation, back ache, abdo pain, and even insanity, now where's my cleavage!!!!!
MiniMilk's 3 yo DD refused to go to bed til 10:30pm last night, was still up & bouncing around at 7am this morning...& yet this still somehow felt like a lie in
MiniMilk now owns 4 nursing/maternity bras in 4 different sizes, & only the biggest one now fits comfortably...still only 19 weeks pregnant, aaagh!!
MiniMilk is quite annoyed by one of the (extremely overweight) bosses who decided to let me know that I had got "huge" and was looking "really big for 19 weeks" yesterday, grrr!
Thanks for the rant, feel a bit better now!!

AngelaCarleen has made it to 12 weeks, woohoo!! Scan on monday, now just freaking out that something will be wrong. Wishing DH was home to come with me. Thinks it's wierd that there's a 5.5cm baby inside me and I can't feel anything.
Want's to sue the books for false advertising, they all say nausea should fade now. Well I'm still waiting...

Tigress swooned around M&S looking at all the wee little clothes and shoes under the guise of buying a present for a friend with a new born. Was lovely. sigh
Ah woodhj a kindered spirit! I am only 10 weeks but had the round of golf from hell this week. Had horrible wet smelly farts (tmi?) and had to be really careful when hitting the ball that one didn't squeeze out. horrible. Also watched a programme last night where people were drinking alcohol and turned to DH, "Oh what I wouldn't give for a Smirnoff Ice with lots of ice!" of course I don't really want one, just think I do

WOODHJ cant stop belching and farting! falls asleep far to early and does not want to speak to any of her skinny, alcohol drinking facebook friends!

AngelaCarleen is only eleven and a half weeks, but she feels like she has been pregnant for ever.
Tigress has been out this morning and bought lots of lovely food, the 10 week old being inside of me is hungry for Ben & Jerry's cookie dough
Tigress slept for 8 wonderful hours last night
Tigress would like to know when this 12 week scan is so that she can know if it will impact on her's or DH's work
Tigress is 10 weeks and loving it

Onlyanauntie dreamed last night that her worst Year 9 pupil was the sonographer at her impending 12 week scan.
Thandeka is possibly having a girl!
13week scan went great.

Sugarkanes boobs have turned into skin tags!!!!
Tigress is 9 weeks and just wants to sleep on the sofa all day. However she does have to go into London and be nice to people all day. Hmm.
AngelaCarleen was so excited about her booking appointment today. She does wonder if she really needs to start her birth plan now (10 and a bit weeks) and whether she really needs a prescription for pain relief during labour already ?
?tegan is so chuffed her dh had last week off work, we shagged like rabbits twice a day everyday xx
pyjamababe is off on her hols tomorrow and is now looking forward to telling some random foreign strangers she is pregnant - hurrah! Thanks Gracie, so glad I'm not alone
And for the record, Gracie and Tigress, pyjamababe pledges not to do the scan picture/status thing on realFB either... Yuck!

Ceebie is endangering herself by attempting to trim an area she can't see any more with a small but sharp scissors.
Would that be TMI on Facebook???
(possibly even on Mumsnet?)

hoops can't wait to tell the world of my impending motherhood but don't want to jinx it!!!
Gracie thinks that Pyjamababe's obsession with telling random people is totally normal, at least she hope's it is having quite enjoyed telling the shop assistant in Next!
Gracie also agrees with Tigress about the little and often and lots of fruit.
Gracie had her 12 week scan and all is normal, but is now a bit unsure about going public as she's never got this far before.
Gracie will not be one of those people who announces her pregnancy by putting it on her real facebook status or changing her profile pic to a scan pic.

shyla is wondering how she is supposed to get through the next 4 weeks until she can have a scan
shyla has taken to carrying a pot of cinnamon around in her bag because she HAS to smell it at regular intervals throughout the day.

Tigress has never eaten so much fruit or had such a wonderfully healthy diet. Also have decided on the many small meals option as can't manage proper big meal at the moment
Pyjamababe has finally finished work for 5 lovely weeks and is now looking forward to a week in the sun with the DH where she does not have to worry about rumours surrounding her non-drinking/days off work/fat waistline etc etc
Pyjamababe cannot wait for her next scen but will have to as they can't fit her in for another 27 days even though that is WAY past the 12 week mark
Pyjamababe is secretly addicted to disclosing her status to random strangers (shopgirls, carpark attendants, taxi drivers...) What is the matter with me?

mum27 wants a solution to constipation and piles as she looks a little conspicuous always wriggling to get comfortable.
mum27 wants everyone to know that she does love her DD4 very much even as she's throwing a can of tomatoes at her down a supermarket aisle.
mum27 wants all her friends to know she's feeling angry, bitchy, depressed, hormonal, fed up, tired, stressed and wants to throttle someone.....so don't say anything stoopid.

Erika-Maye would like to unplug her belly for a few hours to get some sleep. And would also like to apologise to her DP for falling asleep during sex.
Erika-Maye would like to take a machine gun to everyone working in the council offices, and then wish them a "lovely day".

AngelaCarleen was told today by an obstetrician that she's okay to look after sf patients if she follows same infection control as everyone else. does he know something no-one else does, or should I get a second opinion...
does he know something no-one else does, or should I get a second opinion...just started my mat leave due 6 weeks woo hoo.(got a bit of cabin fever already) lol as previously said im loving this thread and have actually done the same on actual facebook, it has been VERY interesting!
Thandeka threw up last night and got a piece of sweetcorn stuck in her throat it was minging and stuck there all night. Seems to be gone this morning. Thankfully.
Thandeka is almost 12 weeks and wants the sickness to go away now. It has eased but it is still there.

Angela I'm East Midlands. I forgot to mention, that you should inform your employer in writing that you're pregnant before they can implement any pig flu changes to your job.
Gracie you are a clever sausage! Where in the UK are you? I'm in scotland, not sure if that makes any difference but I will be showing my wd sister, clinical manager and director of nursing (all on ward tomorrow) that document in the morning!! I work on a childrens ward btw.
AngelaCarleen was very embarrassed this morning when a colleague rubbed Angela's tummy and said 'Ooooh Angela'. Actually I'm only nine weeks, that's just fat

Boodlerpoop is sick of people texting her to ask if she has had the baby yet.
Arcadie is sad for missing friends' wedding but simply could not pull herself off couch.
Sydney is marvelling at just how damp a pair of knickers can get
Tigress just aches all over and can't be arsed. Almost 8 weeks and feeling floloppy
Sorry Tigress, I knew that early scan would probably be an internal, I'm sure I posted that I'd had one somewhere on here a few weeks ago though (I had prior warning so 'titied' myself up a bit first, ). How uncomfortable are they?!?!
AngelaCarleen is loving being comfy in maternity jeans even though she's only nine weeks and really enjoyed seeing her baby give a wriggle yesterday (and not as my mother thought through my skin, but on a scan, stoopid woman )

bellatrixiata wishes her joy at being pregnant hadn't been wiped out in one fell swoop by her GD diagnosis yesterday
Flyingcloud is now convinced she looks visibly pregnant and is now almost exclusively in maternity trousers. Although I'm pretty sure most people think I've really let myself go.
Flyingcloud is not sleeping, what the hell is that about this early on?

Tigress has an early scan tomorrow as pregnancy is result of Clomid- just going to take a peak and make sure there's only one baby in there! Have non-identical twin brothers so quite high risk all round!
Tigress went for booking in appointment this week. What was DH's helpful question following this, "Did they do another test?" "No, DH because I am pregnant- remember?"

Tigress managed to get through a work night out with just one glass of champagne, an early night and when questionned, "why aren't you drinking" shrugged it off with, "ooh, I had a bit of an upset tummy yesterday" yay!
Tigress feels generally like doing nothing

Gracie is taking her 10.5 week fetus to Edinburgh Castle today to see Duran Duran!
pyjamababe has to go back to work today, can't tell anyone but her boss why she has been off for 3 days and doesn't fit into any of her work trousers! aaaaarghhhh! have to scream or will cry. again.
aaaaarghhhh! have to scream or will cry. again.Wishes she'd said something sooner now, I've lost 5kg but am actually seriously contemplating just giving up and going to maternity jeans at 9 weeks 'cos I've got fat around the middle! I thought I was doing something very strange, it's a relief to realise I'm not (that) odd after all!
Also, AngelaCarleen is feeling a lot less perky today and is crying and wishing her husband was at home to look after her, not very much of a feminist I'm afraid

Gracie is pleased she has made it to 10.5 weeks after miscarrying at 10 weeks last time. Though her nerves could have done without bleeding for the last week - that was uncalled for!!!
Gracie played Duran Duran in the car on the way for her scan (to try and cheer herself up as she thought she was miscarrying again) and when she had the scan her baby was dancing!!

AngelaCarleen doesn't care that she can't eat any more than two mouthfuls at any meal, that she wakes twice a night for a pee, that she's lost weight but got fatter or that she's got morning noon and night sickness. Because she is so excited that she's pregnant!! Actually she's quite enjoying the random sobbing aswell
or that she's got morning noon and night sickness. Because she is so excited that she's pregnant!! Actually she's quite enjoying the random sobbing aswell Tigress has collapsed in tears for no reason for one occasion too many for her DH. He has gone out to get some air. Bugger.
Easyeggs wishes people would stop saying "AGAIN!" after finding out she is having a baby, if I ask any of you to bring her up, pay for her or otherwise engage in her day to day upbringing then feel free to make comment, until then fuck off
pyjamababe had a scan today that shows she is about 8 weeks
there was a little heartbeat and lots of movement
after her trip to casualty on saturday night with horrible abdominal pains, pyjamababe is over-the-moon now and could have stayed looking at that screen for the next 32 weeks
mothercare website says 8 weeks is about the size of an olive. pyjamababe now thinks olive is a nice name if it's a girl.

For friends who have had children:
"Mollymook has been hit by the worst case of stomach flu ever seen outside a hospital ward and will punch the next person who says 'Oh, you look tired!' "
For people who know me well:
"Mollymook wishes her MIL would realise that these are NOT HER CHILDREN and is that she not about to re-live motherhood all over again."

Tigress feels sick and hungry at the same time. Weird.
Tigress has impending feelings of doom and thinks 12 weeks cannot come soon enough.
Tigress has to pee into a very small tube like bottle tomorrow and then carry it in her handbag all day (to 1:1 with boss) as she can't consider what state she might get into having to pee into aforementioned small tube in a hotel/conference area toilet.
Tigress feels like the weeks are REALLY dragging by.

bellatrixiata would like everyone to stop telling she's looking "really well" now she's the size of a house again. They weren't so quick to say how good I looked when I lost all that weight last year - happier now I'm back to fat friend, aren't you? AREN'T YOU?
Chamois wishes the few people she has told had just said 'congratulations' instead of making stupid comments. Like 'oh, was it planned?' 'oh dear' and 'well you will probably miscarry anyway'
Chamois would like to tell everyone at work that she doesn't give two hoots any more because this baby is far more important.
Chamois wishes the health visitor would stop looking at her as if she's mad to have even considered another baby! and asking her patronisingly if she's coping...

Tigress is holding her small but sore boobs as she runs to the loo
Thandeka just vomited and then burst into tears- conclusion- Thandeka is probably still pregnant at 10weeks 1day the same stage/day she miscarried her last pregnancy at in April. Thandeka is relieved despite the acidic bile burning the back of her poor throat!
Don't let the kitten sit on your tummy when your pregnant in case it harms the baby? Are you serious, you nutter!! (that piece of advice was given to me by someone at work )
)jeepers cranky you are the most fertile person i ever heard of!
mamalazarou - was just on FB and found a friend who has become a fan of 'I love my daughter' - so LOL at your post - was hiding her updates while TTC and think i may just go back to that until she gets over herself, or my baby arrives and i become just as sad...
anyhow - pyjamababe is wondering why the ante-natal clinic haven't seen her yet even though last period was april so surely should have had scan by now??? don't they like me? think i will ring them tomorrow and investigate!

cranky has been knocked up one month before her wedding despite having one falopian tube, still breast feeding and using a diaphragm. So she won't be drinking on her hen night. Or fitting into her dress. Whoop-de-freaking-do.
Thandeka has worked out that if this pregnancy works out she will have been gestating for 12 months! (10weeks last pregnancy- 2 weeks after MMC pregnant again!)
Only me!
Only me!
bohemianbint Top FB tip- you can hover next to that person's update (right hand side) and choose to hide their status updates. Something I did quite a lot of when TTC and fed up with reading about other people's pregnancy or new baby.
there is one person in particular on mine who does not hold back anything in her updates.
Sometimes, it's mildly amusing, other times it's just a bit grim...

Tigress may actually be growing boobs for the first time in ther life.
or that being pregnant would mean I couldn't spell 'knew'
Thinks maybe she should have taken the occy health lady up on her offer and stopped doing nights, who new morning, noon and night sickness would be worse actually overnight?
Thandeka is back at work for the first time in 4 and a half weeks and is a bit freaked out by everyone smiling at her.
MamaLazarou doesn't understand why people on FB become fans of 'I Love My Kids'. Surely it's taken as read that you love your kids? What are you trying to prove? And how can you be a fan of 'I love so-and-so' anyway?

This is a brilliant idea! None of my friends have had babies yet so I cant post how I feel for fear of completly putting them off ever pro creating. Blondie is completly beached on top of a huge pile of pillows but has a violent urge to pee!
Tigress is so pleased for Thandeka having followed her story for weeks now. Very good news on the 1% front.
Tigress feels (apprehensively) a little tired and a little sick, is this because she thinks she should do by now or because she actually is?

Thandeka just had a good scan and emby is 28mm and therefore 7 times the size of the one she miscarried at 10 weeks. She is only 9.5 weeks but she isn't so scared about losing it anymore as her MC risk has apparently dropped to 1% now. Fingers crossed.
I think I've killed the thread though Tigress!

Tigress has worked out that she is now 6 weeks (today) and all of a sudden feels very tired and like doing no work at all. Coincidence I ask you?
MamaG wishes folk would stop fucking whining on their status.

"Linspins is off to bed shortly after 8pm, as she could sleep for Britain"
It's too embarassing to admit in Real Life that bedtime needs to be before 9pm.....when everyone else is just heading off to the pub.

Tigress is pleased that she started the thread for its cathartic purposes but having read these statuses now wonders if she can take it all back. Scared now!
Tigress is loving that her and DH have a little secret from the whole world (and the Dr and all the people on here!)

In the last week I have grown a whole new person with a heartbeat, I am allowed to be tired (well nearly a whole person, and I have pics to prove it)!!!! - directed more to the person who told me I couldn't be tired because I'm only 7 weeks, grrrr.

"Pinkypanther still can't believe there was a line and feels like a fraud because she has no pregnancy symptoms"
"Pinkypanther is worried she is carrying Clomid twins because DH will go mad"
"Pinkpanther is counting the hours till her early scan on 10 July 2009"
All those could be me today. Great thread Tigresswoods.
Congrats to all of you!

'Mrswee is wondering when if ever her friends are going to for-go the pub/party/hangover/thing that is more fun than spending time with your pregnant friend and give her some support'
oh and
'mrswee is still wondering why she isn't invited to the wedding tonight that ALL her friends are going too (even though she was invited to the hen night) and it makes her feel sad lonley and like a usless pregnant whale thanks very much'
can you tell what today's mood is?

pyjama babe is wondering if a BFP while waiting to start clomid is the universe's idea of a collosal joke as she has NO symptoms whatsoever apart from no AF since April 15th.
should actually post that on FB as i'd love to know if any of my pregnant-first-time-without-trying friends would have a bloody clue what any of that actually means???

JemL is constipated and suffering recurring dreams of leaving new baby on bus.
Dophus has just been sick
Joy27 smells of sick. You have been warned.
dophus should should face facts, purchase pregnancy test, stop smoking and tell husband
Thandeka just vomited out of her nose and it burns- how it burns!
Baisey thought now that she is pregnant she would have a brief respite from buying sanitary towels, but because of crappy pelvic floor muscles I have to put one on before going through my lovely bout of morning sickness everyday. Puking and peeing, who knew it was such fun?!
ummadam feels rubbish, is totally fed up with planning family events that she has no control over, wishes certain people hadn't picked 2 days after her scan for 'the big day' since it means she can't tell anyone even then (or risk overshadowing the family member's event) and would like to tell all of them to piss off and let her feel crap in peace so she could stop putting on a brave face incase they guess she is pregnant!
(although she does know it's not their fault if they don't know)

)Tigress is waiting expectantly to get boobs. Well I have waited since I was about 12, this is very exciting!
blinder actually doesn't mind getting kicked in the fanjo (from the inside)
congrat Angela! and thandeka, believe me the lack of bladder control will creep up on you I'm sure
I would like to tell everyone that I am pregnant! We've only told close friends and family at the moment and keeping the secret is driving me mad!!
Thandeka is laughing out loud at Hangingbelly and hopes to eventually to get to stage where she literally pisses herself laughing at such hilarity!
(because of pregnancy reasons not general incontinence reasons obviously!)

Aw, thandeka, you go girl. I've been where you are and I know how much is kills to constantly have colleagues wondering. I hope this one is a sticker.
I would like to add to my facebook status..
"Hangingbellyofbabylon is 29 weeks pregnant and this morning pissed herself when sneezing. I can't find any pants that will stay up which means going commando. The sneeze wasn't good"

Thandeka's ridiculous early pregnancy sign is "fizzy nipples!"
Thandeka is signed off from work because she is 9weeks pregnant but had a threatened miscarriage suspected ectopic following MMC at 10 weeks immediately before this pregnancy (no period in between). So NO she isnt skiving! So fuck off ignorant work colleagues checking my real facebook for clues as to my absence!
Thandeka loves this thread on both conception and here- hurrah for its cathartic qualities indeed Tigress.

Following the success of this thread in "Conception" I thought I would share its cathartic qualities here in "Pregnancy" too.
I'll give you a starter for ten:
Tigress has no symptoms at 6 weeks except for exceptionally sore nipples
See, you can't write THAT on Facebook!
