I can't wait to eat what everyone is having do either of you have an inkling it might be a boy or a girl?

Aww bless

Have you got ds baby stuff saved? Luckily we had a few bits we could re use from dd, that saved a bit, am going to concentrate on getting my Christmas shopping done with my next pay and possibly some bits with the one after then after that I only have one pay left before he comes so will need to sort his stuff out within 3 months! Scary!

Thanks lulu :)
And how exciting!! :D good luck for Thursday! I have to know what I'm having I'm impatient too! But I also need to know if I can use all DS's stuff or If I have to get pink lol!

And thanks Ducky! :) DS was so excited when he saw his trike!! Bless him his 1st ever birthday!

Happy birthday to your ds cupcake I had a private scan too, it was great! I have no patience!

Lulu, glad you have stopped tooting! How exciting about your scan

Cupcake, have a lovely day tomorrow with DS on his birthday. Hope you get some sleep tonight.

I am tucked up in bed with DH. Wind has gone and I am all sweet smelling again.

We are going to ask about the sex of the baby on Thursday - have hummed and hahhed over it and if we should have a surprise or ask. We are asking!

Bless Ducky! Swollen feet are horrible ! And not being able to bend is even worse lol!
Ms hasn't worn off yet, have been waking at around 4/5am and throwing up. Usually spending about an hour in the bathroom haha. Then I just feel exhausted and queasy all day it sucks :/ took another pg test today haha it's so nice to see it so dark! I'm obsessed with the tests I think :/
Booking apt is next Wednesday!! Can't wait! :D
And will get to know when our scan is ! Woo !! :D
We are going to book a private gender scan at 16 weeks again :) last one we had with DS was amazing and so detailed. So we will find out early what we are having!! Yay!! :D

It has seemed very quiet today!! I have just been pooped at work, have had to purchase some new slip on shoes (soft ones) as my feet have been swelling up and it's already getting tricky for me to tie my shoes

Has your ms eased off yet cupcake? Hope you can get some sleep tonight and enjoy tomorrow is it your booking soon?

How is everyone tonight?
All seems very quiet!

Aw yeah hope kitkat is okay. :(

Got all DS's present sorted for tomorrow and built his trike :)
So excited! Can't believe he's gone be 1 :( time goes so fast !

No lulu, she hasn't. Hope she is ok.

Has KitKat been around? I have not heard from her since before I went to France. Hope she is OK.

Yea I wanted a new job and found one but if I applied it would mess up my maternity I only have anther 8 weeks before I go off as I haven't taken any annual leave this year. Sounds mad because I have hardly been in work this year (had mat leave then sick after dd) and I get time off for my appts

With my job it's 0 hour contract and I got maternity allowance not smp as I didn't qualify as I started that job at 24 weeks pregnant haha. But I had a very good wage from my last job and ended up getting a decent maternity allowance as they go by the wages from the job u were at the longest. I was impressed by my maternity allowance. I won't get hardly any this time round as my wages aren't that great any more.

Yeah ducky right smp is worked out on earning 15 weeks ( or something like that !!) !and you have to be in the job 26 weeks to qualify . If you dont qualify for smp you get maternity allowence . I wanted a new job but got pregnant so just getting on with it loving taking time of for appointments !! Plus I'll use my holiday to extend mat leave and use it to look for another job !!. On zero hour you still acrew holiday which might be handy ?

Lil, I think it depends on your contract, I don't know how they would work it out, cus with mine it's 90% of my wage 15 weeks before the due date or some crazy shit like that and I have to have been working there for 26 weeks to qualify. If not id just be paid smp. You have to notify your employer by week 15 (I think ) maybe hae a chat with hr, they can't sack you for being pg as that's discrimination and you can take them to tribunal for that, it may put your mind at rest to speak to them sorry not much help but employment isn't my area!

Fingers crossed me!!

Lilla I thought you were a teacher or am I confusing you with someone else? If you are, I would wait until Sept or your 12 week scan to tell them.

If you aren't I would still wait. It is very early days and you have until 20 odd weeks to tell them.

Sorry, I don't know about different contracts but I bet someone here does.

Also, a bit disappointed that DP isn't as excited as me. He's just watching X Men and is irritated that I want cuddles!

Anyone know about zero hour contracts and mat leave? And should I tell my boss already? I was looking for another job but is it a good idea to start at a new [place when pg? Also maybe best to be somewhere supportive which my place is... but so stressful and I'm sick of it! Should I talk to my HR Dept this early? What if they sack me?! I'm such a worrier
I probably got my BFP because I've been preoccupied thinking about work and trying to find a new job... it always seems to happen when you're not giving it too much thought!

Fx me!

Thanks cupcake, this is such a supportive thread and really helps! AF is due Saturday I think, but it's not exact so I think I'll try and wait until around Monday to test if AF hasn't turned up before then.

Good luck Me :) really do hope this is ur month! Keeping my fx for u!
When are u going to test?

Lulu you should stay away from the Krispy Kremes - you are totally right that if you try one you'll never go back!! Though some of their concoctions are so sickly!

Argh ladies the 2ww is really dragging. DH is getting excited about the possibility of a bfp as well which isn't really helping, he thinks that because we dtd loads this month it'll be our month but I told him it's not like that! At least I have a really busy day at work tomorrow with loads of meetings to help pass the time!

Thanks lulu.
As for the doughnuts I hardly ever had them as the closest place to do them was Birmingham so if I wanted them id have to travel all the way over there! So I never had them much at all! BUT!! Tesco are now doing them!!!!! :D and for me Tesco is 10 minutes away! Haha! I know I'll be there all the time throughout this pregnancy!

Ha Ha Ducky- like the counting trumps. It seems to have calmed down a lot- although not entirely stopped yet. The spare room windows have been wide open. DH brought me a cup of tea and left quickly pulling a face and opening the windows.

I know what it is! On Sunday night I was hungry and I found a small container of vegetable soup I had made and frozen months ago. I heated it up and ate it. I bet that is it. It had lots of barley and green veg in it.

Hope DS feels better Cupcake and you get some sleep. Oh for a Krispy Kreme doughnut! I have never had one but always lust after them when I pass the shop. I am scared to but them once because I know it would be the start of a habit.

I am going shopping today by myself in town. I might look at baby clothes- not to buy, just a look.

Oh no! Cat sick yuck! Oh I wouldn't have liked to clean that up :/
I'm hungry too, DS stole my toast of me when I was in the kitchen getting a drink. Haha!
But I have Krispy Kreme doughnuts and I don't care how bad it is but I'm gonna eat one! :D

Siarie could it be ibs? I know that makes u bloated a lot from good etc.
