Due in August 2006

[mumsXMASwish]

I think I'm the first to find this out. Am 5 wks pg and an EDD of 10th August, Anyone else wanna join me?

Hi Freddy, you aren't the only one getting a complex. I was advised not to go running until I had got to the 12 week stage and as a result am feeling huge, lethargic and unfit. My EDD is 2 August so I am also having a 12-week scan on Weds (and possibly CVS, too). There will always be people with neat celebrity-style bumps but I for sure am not one of them. I am trying as hard as I can not to overeat but it's very difficult, as whenever I feel anxious or scared, I head straight for the fridge. And as I am very anxious about this pregnancy, that means the fridge is getting a lot of visits.

Trix, we have the same due date. Haven't realised till now!

Dinner went ok, although I started to feel rather quesey towards the end when the meat came out the oven.

Roll on 12 weeks!

Good Morning all, NBG do you find your sickness is wearing off in the morning? Mine is, Im wearing maternity trousers to work today

I cant wear my normal work trousers they dig into me all day and hurt my skin and dont do up. I have a proper little round bump now although its definetly more prominent after Ive eaten

Have a good day all.

ps. Im due on the 4th Aug - Third Pregnancy.

Hello, I think my sickness is wearing off too. Im feeling worse in the evenings now. Im almost 10 weeks, Ive been wearing maternity trousers for over a week now. I cant do my trousers up either.

NBG - Yes im counting down the days to 12 weeks - cant wait for my scan on the 2nd Feb. When is your 12 week scan?

Good morning all, nice to hear about all your little bumps forming, this makes me feel swell HA HA. No i feel more normal, nice also to hear scans coming up, its a tense and exciting and nerve racking time...GOOD LUCK to you all.

Heres to less and less sickness and the next chapter which will be coming up soon for us all hopefully

Have a great day

Hi all ,

Sorry to hear about what happened act, must have been a difficult day for you, but thank god for the other little one doing ok.

So everyones getting bumps to then, not just me! Thankfully I lost quite a lot of weight after my dd, so Im not getting anywere bigger but the bump, as last time I got big EVERYWERE!!.

Im 10+3 I think today. Wearing sea sick bands which are helping a little ,but my actual hands are hurting , not sure if Ive slept on them or its from wearing the bands ALL DAY !!but they feel bruised, weird. May be Ill start a separate thread on them.

Hows the tiredness ?? I seem to have burts were I can do a lot in a day and then Boom and Im zonked for days after and all I can manage is pottering around house or watching the 20th re run of dd's heffalump the movie on the sofa with blankies!!!!

Hi all, i am due 15th Aug and would like to join your board plse!
So that makes me 10 weeks doesnt it? i had a scan at 9 as i was in constant pain and very worried but all was fine and i saw my little bean soundly sleeping! This is my 1st, I am 22 and it did come as a surprise as baby wasnt planned but a very, very pleasant one and i am over the moon, as is my partner - we cannot wait! i live in the BR6 area if anybody else does too?

Hi cheeps I'm 22 too although this is my second, ds is 20/21 months. I have no idea where br6 is lol, we live in berkshire but dh has a job interview this week for crewe!

I'm 9 weeks this saturday (or is it 8? I forget! OLIVO! Your edd is the same isn't it!!!!) And I'm actually losing weight. I can't eat healthy stuff (just don't fancy it) and I fancy high calorie stuff but vomit it all up after eating. so I've gone from 10st4 to 10st 2 already! Not a day has gone by in the week or two where I haven't vomited.. I definately don't have a bump but I'm praying I won't get one till 12 weeks as we aren't telling family till then.

Am absolutely knackered and just looking at the kitchen makes me feel sick. I can't clean (or do anything) in the evening so any housework has to be done during the day. However I'm busy all day (work full time from home) so it's not getting done! I'm managing one storey of the house a week! That's it lol! Oh and if I want to do the washing up I have to leave it till the next day and do it at breakfast (the only time in the day I don't feel too sick.)

Dh can't help as he's finishing his degree (although he does try bless him!)

Hi Cheeps! I'm beginnng to worry the midwives are going to be in serious demand mid-August. i know of SO many people due around the 15th! If I don't get one though it'll be my own fault 'cos I haven't been to the doctor yet - have an appointment tomorrow.

Hi lunavix
I have been feeling terrible too! i really am such bad company at the moment as having to run off to the loo to be sick every 2 minutes!! i work full time so had to have a week of last week as i was so de-hydrated i had to be put on a drip!! thankfully i am not so bad now but like you, i am gorging on high calorie foods which do not last in my stomach very long!! i am quite little anyway, but have lost a few pounds and gone down to 7 stone 8, which i am worrying about but i am taking my pregnacare and multi-vitamins so doing the best i can.
I have only told very close family (my mum, Dad and brothers) and my partner hasnt told anyone yet as we are just waiting till the 6th feb (scan date) so we can share our news, although i am so excited i feel like i will burst!!
Did you find out the sex of your 1st? i am in two minds whether to

They wouldn't tell us the sex, but I just knew he was a boy. I was so sure I bought all boy clothes and stuff.

I feel like this one will be a girl, I'm so ill she has to be a little cowbag I don't know though, but if they will tell us I think we will want to know. Neither of us have any resolve

I can see the headlines now purpleturtle .......fisty cuffs in maternity wards as mums - to- be fight it out for a midwife! haha!
Good luck at the docs 2morrow x

Yes, if the option is there i will have to find out too, so hopefully they wont mention it......my partner is convinced it is a boy but i really dont mind, a happy healthy baby will do me just fine!

I'd like a girl (so I have a set ) but I'd be happy with a boy. Ds and dh gang up on me, so it'd be nice to have someone on my side!

Hi Cheeps this is my first too.
Thanks all for your kind words re my lost twin. I have being feeling a strange mix of happy, sad and worried, but trying to stay positive. So, on a lighter note one of the bazillion leaflets/magazines/booklets they gave me at my booking visit had a snippet saying that a Swedish research project has found that mums eating chocolate during their pregnancies have happier, more smiley babies at 6 months.
That is some research I can get behind! Now, if I can just keep the chocolate down...

Hi all, welcome and congratulations Cheeps! I read your thread about the pain you had, so glad it all worked out. I had my early scan today and everything looks fine I'm so chuffed as this time last time it was bad news, so to see and hear the heart beat was fab! I've got a picture of a beautiful blob.

No bump here but I've put on weight and feel really lardy at the moment and I can't stand the thought of veg right now, so I'm living on pizza and fruit (well it's half healthy) I also have the worst skin in the world, not fair.

Sorry to hear that sickness is still keeping everyone down, mines worse in the evening, but no vomiting. I hope everyone feels better soon.

What does everyone know about bras during pregnancy? I don't know what I should be doing and although I can still fit ok in what I've got, I don't know if I should change to underwired? Thoughts?

congrats on the blob strike1!
Perhaps I should leave the bra advice to someone who's not a first timer, but I have read that you're not supposed to wear underwired bras 'cos they can affect the development of milk glands or is it ducts? I am quite worried about this as I have not worn a wireless bra since I was 11 I think! I am still wearing my underwired bras at the mo- although only fit into a couple of my older more stretchy (niiice) ones. Am putting off buying wireless because (1) am vain (2) am skint.

hi all, hope your all well. it is true you are supposed to wear wireless bras throughout your pregnancy. i personally dont like them but they are so much comfier, as i am having real problems with aching boobs.

Evening all! Glad to hear some of you are getting less sickness - I didn't realise it would be so hard trying to eat healthily when you feel so rough - I'm forcing down smoothies etc when I can but my mashed potato and salt and vinegar crisps ( not together! ) are still a big favourite!
lunavix - 8+2 today I make it! your sickness sounds a nightmare but at least you know there's someone reminding you she(!) is there!!
Hi cheeps and congratulations!
I'm now wearing maternity bras and they are sooooooooo comfy! Given up on my appearance, I'm so spotty and bloated! Attractive!

Strike1, good news re scan! With bras I think it's a case of wear what you're comfortable in. I had to get a maternity bra just before Xmas as I had expanded so much. M&S do a pack of two for £20. They aren't very pretty but they're comfortable.

sorry to hear act about your loss, but happy to hear that your other little one is doing ok,hope your ok!!!
welcome all you newbies to the board all exciting yet so nerve wracking!!
well i have my 1st scan date of tues 24th as my dating scan, really scared last time i had a scan there was only a sac there, so really nervous, but i had had cramps n bleeding which hasnt happened this time and already i am huge.... like really huge twins run in both mine and dp's family so wondering if there is 2 or even 2 in there also bump seems really high.... any one else the same? i really feel quite big for only being 11+3 days?????????? hope everyones scans n stuff go well xx

2 or 3 i meant xx

good luck for your scan Aprilgirl!

i've had to tell at my work today as I burst into tears for no apparent reason other than feeling totally overwhelmed by tiredness and the fact I'm so anxious. I'm not sure how i'm going to get through to my scan - around 3 or 4 more weeks of constant worrying that everything is going ok, are my symtoms still there, why dont I feel as sick as the day before etc.

They have been very supportive at work though and I've asked for them to keep it quiet and not tell my 'top' boss till I'm ready. They're also really pleased which is nice!

Anyway, enough of me and my outburst! Hope everyone is feeling happy today.x

Thank you very much Strike1 and Good Morning to all!
olivo, i seem to be just the same as you and dont stop worrying if i wake up feeling okay!! dont know i worry though as if i dont feel too bad in the morning then it really hits me of an evening so i really cant win!!
aprilgirl, i have actually lost weight but do have a huge bump!! although when i went for an early scan last week, the midwife told me there was only 1 baba in there, i am a triplet you see and my mum and Nan are both twins so it does run in the family!!
I have a bit of a dilema which i wonder if anyone would like to help me with?
Well it isnt really a dilema but i have 2 younger sisters, 6 and 10 who i am extremley close too, so close in fact they stay with me every weekend and like to call me Mummy if we go out anywhere!! they love the fact of having a cool younger mum (i am 22) although my mum isnt exactly old! (she is 45) anyway, i ahvent told them yet but am planning to do so once i have my 13 week scan on the 6th Feb. How should i tell them, i was thinking of me and my bf taking them out for the day?? i know they will be so excited but i dont want them to feel i wont be there for them as much. Hope this makes sense, and sorry for the long post!! x
