Anyone due in march??

[babydust27]

Found out on sunday that were expecting our first baby in march!! Some online due date calculators say the 8th and some say the 10th so im not quite sure which one is right!!

Ive got my 1st doctors appointment tomorrow to confirm things

Has anyone else got the BFP and wants to celebrate?

thanks everyone :) You're a very friendly bunch :) xx

awwwwww thanks all! the Hoover has been well and truely humped! Couldn't wait till DH got home was going spare over the mess! Am now on a massive baking spree! There is no stopping me today!

pixel I meant as we get bigger (with the relaxin), I know it's already wreaking havoc. You're right though, if it gets you out of doing stuff you don't want to do it's all to the good right?

Gosh lots to catch up on since this morning! at the humping Hoovers!

On the train home now so glad to have something funny to read . Sorry to disappoint on the picnic front Chulita - nothing so exciting as a chicken drumstick! Boring fruit & I've brought quite a bit of it home. I did enjoy Devilled Sausage & chips for lunch though

But we're off to the races tomorrow so going shopping for proper picnic stuff tonight

It's the weekend girlies!

Ps for any of you that like Pimms - have you tried the new Schloer Summer Fruits? It's lush!

Mmm. Nice tip on the Schloer summer fruits. I'll look out for it. DH and I have a babysitter for tomorrow night and were planning to go out for drinks but pg means not much drinking for me so I've found a swanky hotel where they do lots of non-alcoholic cocktails and tapas. If I can't drink - I can eat!

Enjoy the weekend.

Actually I'm slightly wishing the weekend away so that I can reach the milestone of 9 weeks next Tuesday/Wednesday!!!! I seem to remember my SIL telling me that 9 weeks is the worst you will feel and it gets gradually better from there. Fingers crossed. I haven't had any bad sickness or tiredness but I'm really bored with this constant mild virus type of feeling. Bring on trimester number 2!

Good grief kitty are you nesting already?...the mothering force is strong in you!
Is anyone else having the gnawing hunger/instant bloat the moment you eat anything? I can sympathise with the nearly barfing into the dishwasher...this can happen to me whether its been on or not! and bless DH, he's had to have mashed potato for tea every night this week and not complained once

Oh god, that's enough wingeing from me......have a fab day at the races Davina, sounds like a great day out

Have a good weekend all x

itsababslife Not sure if it's nesting or just wanting to show off a little to friends. The house was a stink hole and I was a mood and somehow angry Hoover humping can take the edge of the grump (sometimes)

Hoovering always looks a bit dodgy to me, I mean if you were to have no idea what a Hoover was and saw someone moving a big stick back and forwards and doing a little dance a dance it might look a bit like humping... I think I over think things too much... (and have a very one track mind)

Enjoy you evenings and weekend! Off to visit in-laws to celebrate baby news! (and also tell brother-in-law that we have managed to get pg without trying where he and his wife are struggling - not loooking point forward to that, I really hope they aren't too upset)

8 weeks! come on!

I know how you feel about telling your family you fell pg without trying. I have had to do the same thing to my Sis and it never gets easier, for either of us I think.

I'm dreading telling one of my friends, she fought hard for her first and is trying and trying for her second. She's been through so much heartache, I'm not looking forward to popping up with this...no easy way to do it.

kitty I get over the 'dodgy hoover humping' by not hoovering, stops my neighbours getting any funny ideas

I'm also in the permanently bloated/ravenously hungry camp. I feel soooooo fat

How are you feeling this morning Broodylicious?

MrsCog how is the spotting? Stopped now?

We went out for dinner last night with friends. I made sure I'd taken my anti nausea tablets but couldn't touch my main when it arrived and then threw everything up as soon as I got home- what a waste! Should have just had another starter for a main... My stomach has clearly shrunk over the last couple of weeks- crackers and toast don't stretch the stomach much!

Hi everyone

Reallea spotting seems to have stopped now, which is great. I was thinking about paying for another scan between the one I had last week at 6+3 and the 12 week one, but am beginning to thing that I might just wait now. Poor you with the sickness - it must be horrible.

Managed a proper dinner last night which was good, as although I haven't been sick yet, constant nausea has meant that I've just snacked on bread/crackers etc to keep going rather than eating proper stuff. I feel so guilty especially as I'm normally really healthy!

Woke up this morning and actually did a few tiny bits of housework as had energy for the first time in a week!

7+1 today

Couldn't sleep last night and (finally) logged on to say hello, wrote long post and LOST IT ALL! Grrrrrrrr....

A hearty hello to everyone - happy to read about the good scans and wishing everyone happy eating/retaining. Welcome aboard to all the new ladies!

Have been super exhausted and overworked this week - bad combination. Barely had time to do anything other than eat. And eat. And eat. Daily bouts of nausea (but no actual vomiting, FC it stays that way), hugeola appetite, growing boobs and a grizzly attitude...yes, I must still be pregnant. The food bloat is making my belly look 3+ months!

Absolutely counting the days until our scan on August 12 - time is creeping by. I'm ready to tell my mom and our friends - it's hard keeping the good news to ourselves. Good luck to all those telling friends who've had difficulties.

7+6 (and willing time to pass quickly)

:( DS didn't want to feed today, I think the bfing days are over for now. He's 1 tomorrow (eek!) so at least we reached my target, not too bad stopping now although he's dairy intolerant so am slightly panicking about how he's going to get what he needs. I'm sure something will work out...

withoutanet I feel mega exhausted too and still really dizzy. You not even going to tell your mum? I told her first (after DH of course).

mrscog glad the spotting's stopped, one less thing to worry about eh?!

reallea that's such a shame about last night. The first bit of pgcy really sucks doesn't it? I remember waking up ravenously hungry with DS, went downstairs and had a bagel around 2am and promptly threw it up then felt ravenous again I mean, what on earth can you do about that?

Just got my 12 week scan appointment through, I bit :( as it's actually at 13 weeks, which I knew could happen, but it means that it's still 6 weeks before I can tell anyone, and I'm desparate to tell my Mum but DH won't let me.

Feeling very spoilt bratish in my disappointment though. feels ashamed

Aww MrsCog. I'd tell your mum. You've had a positive scan early on which means your risk is now a lot lower.

Why does your DH not want you too? It's nice to share symptoms etc with mums - they reminisce about craving fruit pastilles when pg with you and other such snippets. I have been a lot closer to my mum since my fist pg.

Pixel & Chulita good luck both of you telling your close friend/sister. Like i said we are about to go down and tell them (mother in law is insisting) only to discover it's their first wedding anniversary today! :( hey ho.

Hope everyone is well, and that barfing/ spotting lays off during the weekend I think everyone deserves a break! (cause that's how this works!) I have figured out that mince meat make me barf! Had chilli con carnie the other night and burgers last night and each time it sent me heaving! Woop!

Chulita that happened to my friend, I think sometimes the milk changes when you get pregnant. My daughter cannot drink regular cows milk, it makes her belly hurt, after drinking it she always cries and arches her back then eventually passes wind a lot. but I tried lactose-free milk and she has been fine with it. She can manage cheese and yoghurts too as well.

Was sick last night and this morning, but am keeping down meals luckily. Very, very tired today and dizzy today and some more stretchy feelings going on.

Mrs Cog - I would tell your mum, we were going to wait until 12 weeks, but caved in at 6 weeks as we were too excited and I was already showing!

Still no word on a scan nearly 3 weeks after seeing GP, I am going to phone bookings line myself on Monday and get a date to see the midwife.

Nope Chulita haven't told my mom (or Dad or DP's family) yet, only my sister who is excellent with big secrets. The fact that I've been able to keep mum is pretty amazing as I'm a bit of a chatterbox and not so excellent with big secrets. But since I'm an older first-timer we decided to wait until the 2nd trimester before telling everyone. Also, my family is all abroad so we want to feel as confident as possible as we'll have to make the announcement via Skype.

That said, we have our 12 week scan on August 12th and regardless of how it dates the pregnancy - even if it says I'm earlier than 12 weeks, which I'm pretty sure it will - we'll tell my mom that afternoon because it will be her birthday. We're crossing fingers for super good news so we can give her a lovely birthday surprise and show her a picture of the little Creature.

(I'm terribly jealous of everyone who has parents nearby...but the good kind of jealous. Not the psycho-Glenn-Close-boiling-rabbits kind.)

MrsCog ignore my above reasons for waiting and tell your mom!

And finally, am I being unreasonable to desperately crave the chili con carne and burgers that were making Kitty ill?

Well, the reasons for not telling my Mum are I partly agree with, the problem is that my Mum and Dad don't keep any secrets from each other (which I think is nice really), and I'd obviously love my Dad to know, but he is the worst secret keeper in the world and would tell people - not maliciously, but just because he'd tell one person in secret and then drop hints etc. at 7+1 I'm not ready for other people to know yet and I don't want to take that risk.

Even if my Mum did agree to keep it secret from him, I think he then might be really hurt in a few weeks if he found out that my Mum and Sister knew (my sis already knows) and I obv don't want to hurt his feelings.

DH has suggested we pay for a scan at 10 weeks and start telling close family then. I think this sounds like a good idea, but not sure on what the risks are of something going wrong if everything is ok at 10 weeks - does any one know? I might start a thread about it to get people's experiences.

Hey everyone have been lurking a bit, but wanted to come on here and say hello as I too am preggers and due on 21st March.

This is baby no. 2 for me - my first is currently 8 months so slightly shitting myself about the fact they will be 16months apart!

I am very very pleased though and really looking forward to feeling a bit more pregnant - but without the sickess of the first trimester please!

5+6

Hello all,

Can I join, please? I got my BFP 10 days ago or so but having had a MC in March, am stupidly paranoid and trying not to think about it at all too much. Not so easy with incredibly sore boobs! No other symptoms yet though other than being tired. Think I'm 5+4 and due around 21st March.

Hello ladies, and welcome honeymoo and laabama...congratulations

I can sympathise entirely with feelings of worry and paranoia, having mc'd a few times before having DD and once since. This first 12 weeks seems to be the longest of your life!

With DD I had a scan a 5, 6, 9 and 12 weeks (I had a very lovely and understanding consultant), and although it was reassuring to know that there was a heartbeat and things were progressing well I still managed to work myself into a right old lather before each one. In fact with my 9wk scan my nausea and exhaustion had disappeared completely on the morning on the scan and I was almost in tears on the way to the hospital because I felt so well!! Needless to say, the scan was fine and the symtoms came flooding back instantly (DH had to stop the car for me to throw up in the gutter!)

For those who are worrying about telling people who are struggling to conceive - it's a tricky one, but try not to worry....they'll probably feel a little sad for themselves, but if they're true friends, they'll be happy for you. For me there was a period of a few years, where out of a team of 9 work colleagues, 4 of them were either already pregnant or announcing that they were whilst I was getting over MCs....I tried to be happy for all of them....it's just the way life is sometimes.

I'll be 6+3 on Tues when I go for my first scan with this one....keeping everything crossed

Hi,
I've been reading for a while so thought I should sign up. Due 1st March with my 3rd. Feeling sick and tired, but not as bad as some on here. Strangely reassured that we are all in the same boat. Hopefully it won't be long before we are all sweetness, joy and light!

Honeymoo. My elder 2 are 15 months apart. First year was tough, but it has been great since, they are best buddies and happily entertain each other most of the day. Lazy parenting.... Now why am I having a third?!

Our 1st baby is due in March, we're so excited, this baby was definitely planned :)
