August - first month of TTC? Join me!

Coffee is usually my 'thing', hubby bought me a proper machine Xmas 2009, but not touched a drop since November, ugh!

Know exactly what you mean with the appetite MadKatz, not wanting to eat at all. I've just finished filling in my proper pregnancy journal I got for Xmas (until I got my date on scan, couldn't fill it in properly). Just been reading back over the last 2 months about my appetite etc, and finally got an appetite back after 4 weeks, so hoping you won't be too bad with it.

Glad you have told some friends and family, that is the best part after finding out you're preg, and up to your scan! It's so nice when people are excited for you :)

Hoping you won't be too sick.

Do you fancy some free nappies ladies??
Asda are giving away a baby box at the mo, usually £5, if you go to join their mother and baby group, it should be there.

Also if you go to freenappies.co.uk you can also get a huge box of 104 nappies free. You have to sign up to one of their 'offers' (I did Lovefilm 14 day trial as it was free), have a referral to a friend (one of you lot) and get your nappies.
If we all refer each other, we're quids in!.

My referral link is freenappies.co.uk/index.php?referral=205217 :)

oh, thats abit dissappointing isnt it odd how different areas have diffrent ways of doing things?

Rang the doctors this morning and they don't want to see me,all they have done is put a note out for the midwife to ring me when she's in on Thursday

madkatz my appetite is like that, i just dont fancy anything. i had alot of crispbread with dairylea on in the evenings as i couldt face an evening meal.

i have been eating alot of crap, chinese and stuff like that as it is my favourite food and the only thing i can get excited about

so far i have been lucky and not put any weight on, but do look loads bigger in the stomach than i did pre pg

soz that should have been "wouldn't" get the sickness!!!

Morning Ladies.

Was rather hoping I would get the sickness thing but think it may be on its way, don't feel like eating anything and even coffee doesn't do anything for me this morning...the taste is digusting!!

We told everyone yesterday, all family and close friends. I know its very early but I was worried we'd put our foot in it somewhere/somehow so this way we can openly talk about it! Everyone is over the moon.

How are we all? How you feeling Iwish?

Hi Gruffalo good to see you again, smashing news eh about the 2 girlies :)

Not been feeling any sickness since beginning of the month now, thankfully was never actually sick (fingers crossed Iwish and Madkatz don't get any either).

Did start reading about how some women get 'late' sickness, hoping not me!

Glad your parent were happy Iwish, I bet they can't wait!!!!

Signing off too, going to watch PS I Love You. Read the book in September on holiday, highly recommend it, the book was beautiful :)

Hi Liz - not too bad, thanks. How are you doing? I do get tired - have been trying to make sure I get a couple of early nights a week. And I've decided not to feel too bad if DS has to put up woth CBeebies after I pick him up from his childminder if I'm having a tired day. Am much better than the early days though... With the tiredness thing last time someone told me 'never stand when you can sit, sit when you can lie, or just lie down when you can sleep' - they were dead right. Have work got anywhere you can escape for a lie down (I can use the first aid room if I feel I need to).

Apart from that I'm getting some pelvic pain - I had it with the last preg so at least I know what it is. Just making sure I don't wear heels or do other things that aggravate it. I think I might start preg yoga soon as it helped the last time.

Klou how is the sickness? Are you starting to feel a bit better?

wow madkatz thats BLOODY BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am so so so pleased for you!!!!!!!!!!! you must be so so happy and relieved that all the peeing on a stick is over i was starting to feel abit bad about going on about being pg when you werent cause we are on the conception thread afterall, and i half expected you to tell me to sod off onto another thread

iwish glad you got your telling of the parents over

gruffalo how are you feeling? are you more tired than usual? i am absoloutly knackered by the end of the day, especially if i have been at work.

Blimey - I disappear for a few days and two BFPs come along at once!!!!!!!!!

CONGGRATULATIONS to you both! So chuffed!

Klou the scane is gorgeous! Glad your little one was waving to you. Am 15 weeks now here. Sickness stopped (thank god - hope that Madkatz and Iwish that you escape it) though I did have a tummy bug/cold over the last few days - seem to have managed to sleep it off though.

am soooo tired. Signing off now.
night ladies xx

Congrats madkatz!! Thrilled for you!

Hi klou. Just told my parents, was crapping my pants but they were v happy. Going to tell DPs mum soon. Cleaning day! Sunday is a day of rest lol! Hope you are feeling ok.

Liz wave to you too :)

Still sinking in here too but ecstaticly happy.

Oh My Freaking God MadKatz !!!!!!!

Can't believe it!!!! Been a lucky month, told you it would be!!!!!!

A BIG FAT JUICY CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! Bet you are thrilled! Has it sunk in yet???

Wow, 2-3 weeks already, so you'll be due around mid October?

Huge hugs xxxx

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been on. Been a long day.
AF was due today ......but I got a BFP instead
Clearblue says 2 to 3 weeks

Good isn't it? Couldn't believe how clear the actual scan was either, seeing a little face with a nose and everything is quite spectacular!

Gosh Liz, 10 days, we'll have to keep each other sane!!!

In a cleaning mood today, done all the ironing this morning, then have started to clean the house (and had a small break to come on here :) )

How are you getting on Madkatz

Have you told the folks yet Iwish?

wow klou that top pic is really clear. so there is only 10 days between mine and yours due dates! i am 14 weeks on monday and due on the 1st august.

madkatz when is your af due? (or not as the case may be, heres hoping x x )

went to pub after to celebrate, and just sat looking at the piccies, very strange that is inside me! :)

at the fact you can't keep your gob shut Liz. I really wanted to tell my mum when I spoke to her on the phone but I resisted :)

Oh klou the scan is beautiful! I bet you have just been sat there looking at the pic x

I think I will tell my work at 8 weeks but I'll tell mine and DPs parents next week and our very close friends just after. Everyone else will be kept in the dark till 12 weeks.

(((hugs))) to you both.

madkatz huni I hope you are ok xx

*scan piccie

Hiya
Sorry, had my scan, totally in love with my little one!
Scam piccie on my profile (think you just click my name above). Have been dated 12 weeks 1 day, instead of 11w3d so now due earlier on 11th August.
Little one did a little backflip and waved at us, so wish we could have got a video, it was hilarious!!

Just did the facebook announcement, finally!!

Iwish so glad your doc appt went ok and thyroid not a biggie :)

DH and I run business from home (let properties, so if no probs with tenants, we don't work, which is lush :) )

have you has a scan today klou?

i am glad it went well at the docs, i bet you are so excited and i would be relieved knowing that you have nothing to worry about regarding your thyroid, yey yey yey

i work for my dad so telling work wasnt really an issue, but the other lads i work with i tiold pretty much straight away simply cause my job is very manual and i have to do alot of lifting which i cant do anymore. i didnt want them thinking i was turning into an idle git, so had to really tell them why i wasnt doing it. plus i cant keep my gob shut.
i told most of my family and friends straight awyay and broadcasted it on facebook once i had been for the 12 week scan.

Thanks Liz. well i went to the docs, he asked me questions then asked me to make appt for bloods which is 7th feb and my antenatal appt which is 9th feb. Didnt seem to worried about my thyroid.

OMG im so excited!!

Klou How did the scan go? Yey im going to be a mummy!

When did you lovely ladies tell your work?

Oooo Iwish so pleased you did another test and all OK. YES you are going to be a mummy!!!

Liz LMAO, orgasmic, WTF?? Far from it I would think!
Ditto with GP, thought they would do a test, but just weighed me, measured me, prodded my belly a bit, asked when 1st day of last period was, filled out a form for my exemptions and that was it!! That was 13 Dec, saw MW for booking on 7th Jan, day of my early scan. Would have been earlier but had Xmas, then we were away for a week for NYE and to tell the parent etc. so prob only would have been 2 weeks too.

Roll on 2:45pm, so excited

ohh glad you got in so soon, nice to put your mind at rest that they know about your thyriod, if nothing else
