Hello. I thought I'd start this discussion as the other Feb 16 discussion has morphed into stories of people's previous child birth experiences, and I thought a place for first timers could be useful.
I'm 6+3, due on 19 Feb. my morning sickness started with a bang 2 days ago! Felt like I had a terrible hangover; strong headache; just needed sleep. Was worried about taking paracetamol so bought some travel sickness bands, which seem to be doing the trick (even if I look like a tennis star).
Anybody else discovered any good remedies??

Hi, congratulations!!! I'm first timer as well, due on 29 of Feb. Very exited, but at the same time slightly in denial)) I've got the opposite concerns: 6 weeks + and have not got any nausea or morning sickness at all, not that I want to
But still a bit worried if everything is ok. The only pregnancy symptom I got is that my breasts got bigger already (does it really happen so early on?) and they are extremely sensitive and painful to touch, it drives me insane. Also I am having those weird pains in my lower abdominal from time to time, sort of pulling sensation (very light period-like), therefore it another thing which worries me, especially as my first midwife appointment is only in couple of weeks. So can't wait to have all my question answered. In the meantime, does anybody experience something similar or have any suggestions?

Spanoo it's not just first timers wanting to take refuge from the scary birth stories.
I'm 8+1 today, the nausea is horrendous already. However, I have my secret weapon of homemade ginger biscuits in my handbag and I'm hoping that they'll get me through the day.

Hello! I'm sort of a first timer in that this is my first child but this is my 4th pregnancy due to 3 previous mc's.
But like you I have found the Feb thread full of people discussing their previous births 
and I do feel a bit alienated
I'm 10+5 today, got my booking in appointment this Thursday and 12 wk scan next Monday.
This is the longest I've ever been pregnant so it's all very new to me now!!!!
Is nice to "meet" other first timers

Crikey, it's hard isn't it? I didn't appreciate how sick I'd feel at all - I just don't remember any preggo friends grumbling about sickness. I feel like all I do is complain to my poor other half.
We've not told anyone yet as I'm concerned that, being an older mum, there's more risk involved... Desperate to tell work as I'm finding it draining and stressful trying to keep on top of the nausea

Madsaz I'm due the day after you and I've just started to feel better - so maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel?
I'm no longer painfully hungry every 2 hours whilst feeling sick. Enjoying that very much.
Still don't have a scan date, and I totally agree about it not feeling real until you get to see it. I'm still worried I might be imagining it. 
How is everyone else doing?
