We're starting to tell friends but not family or my colleagues. I doubt many people in either of our familes are going to be very pleased (long story, and not a very interesting one) and my colleagues really don't need to know yet....

Thank you wifey :) PetiteR - Sad

wifey6 · 06/03/2012 17:21

PetiteR...sorry to hear that Sad
Well you will always find people happy to share your news here!

PetiteRaleuse · 06/03/2012 17:29

It's ok they all live a long way away :)

tomatoplantproject · 06/03/2012 17:45

Guessing that's a good thing pc?

Both families know thanks to the hospital dashes and my mum's big gob. I've had to have stern words! I think there's general excitement, particularly from the in laws who I'm baking a 1st gc for.

I seem to have developed the most enormous boobs. They're taking on a life of their own. Anyone else?

No sickness, no cravings but utter exhaustion.

OMGBFP · 06/03/2012 18:04

I've got big norks anyway thanks to a)genes b)the other pregnancies. They get really sore by end of the day, cannonballs anyone?

Stuntnun · 06/03/2012 18:39

I think I'm actually eating less than before now, I seem to fill up fast atm BUT when I get hungry I HAVE TO EAT RIGHT NOW and get very grumpy until I get some protein! Weird but I'm sure I'll be starving before long.

Anyone else worried in case it's twins?

DonnaDoon · 06/03/2012 19:05

Stuntnun Im soooo excited incase it is twins I would love it ! I am only 5 wks but have lost my appetite and am so big already I have heartburn and piles you name it and Ive never had these symptoms so early on before.

wifey6 · 06/03/2012 19:09

My DS has just fallen on me- elbowed me in the stomach. Feeling sick now- worrying its done some damage Sad

DonnaDoon · 06/03/2012 19:14

Hi wifey Im no expert but my kids have done this and you wouldnt believe how well protected your little babba is in your tummy ...no damage I promise you are just shocked and worried me thinks.

Evilwater · 06/03/2012 19:15

To all the ladies,
I'm having sickness all the time, and the mornings are the worst. I'm cold all the time. The coldness is the worst, no matter what I do Im always cold.

I can't wait to see the midwife on Friday to ask her about symptom control.

Ew

wifey6 · 06/03/2012 19:16

I think so Donna - just shocked me & then I started to worry. I'm ridiculous! SadBlush

Evilwater · 06/03/2012 19:18

Stunt,
I havn't got any twins on both sides of the family, so I'm not really worried about twins. I'm more worried about deformations.

Ew

Evilwater · 06/03/2012 19:19

Wifey
I'm sure it will be ok,

Belgrano · 06/03/2012 19:44

Evil water what's with the cold thing? I am cold all the time too. Really cold. Bbbrrrr. Feeling sick and stuffing my face are going ok as long as I keep stuffing to fend off the sick. I'm sure it was much much worse last time though so either it will get much worse or I will get very anxious because it's not very bad - what you could call a lose/lose situation really!!
Hope you're all ok at the end of today.

Evilwater · 06/03/2012 19:48

Ill be fine, I just need a nice hot bath or a super hot radiator. Brrrrrr.........
Belgrano, I hope you find some warmth.

Stuntnun · 06/03/2012 20:05

Donnadoon would you love twins then?! One of my DSs has special needs so I think one baby would be the absolute most I could cope with. It must be seeing the pictures of the lady who had quads on 29 Feb that has got me fretting. Also I had a MMC in December so I'd rather worry about twins than about something going wrong so maybe it's a healthy worry Confused

blonderthanred · 06/03/2012 20:15

I'd love twins, a couple of friends have had them so I know it would be hard work but how amazing to have two babies. A ready-made family and they'd always have such a close relationship.

No history in the family though so very unlikely.

ValiumQueen · 06/03/2012 20:22

My Dad is a triplet. Incidences of multiples increase with age (buries head in sand again)

Coldness will be because our bodies are busy making a life. later on we will have a built-in water bottle.

Peaky1 · 06/03/2012 20:46

Hi all. I'm still feeling nothing other than a constant mild dull ache down there, feels more like a muscle ache than a period pain...really odd. Can anyone relate to this? I had a small episode of spotting last week but the doc didn't seem too bothered. Not heard from the midwife yet for initial contact.

Stuntnun · 06/03/2012 20:56

I'm the same Peaky1, it feels more like I've pulled a muscle in my stomach than that I'm pregnant. Don't worry, I'm sure the nausea will start soon Sad

TheDetective · 06/03/2012 20:58

I have on and off nausea. It is worse if I don't eat.

I really am praying that this time I don't get hyperemesis. However, I don't think I will be so lucky.

Part of me is kind of hopeful that I get just enough sickness to keep me off work for a few weeks but not enough that I feel dreadful 100% of the time!

If I am vomiting, there is no way I can work as a midwife - it would be too risky for the women. I mean imagine being scrubbed in theatre and throwing up half way through, or doing a delivery and having to run out at a crucial moment to vomit. I don't even think I'd be able to hack clinics or anything. It would be too much - from experience.

DP told his mum our news last night, it took him nearly an hour to spit it out, and he was pacing the floors! I'm surprised she didn't ask him what was up he was so flippin' fidgety!!

She took it well! She did mutter about emigration, and how she wasn't going to cope going from one grandchild to three in the space of six months (her daughter is pregnant too). I suggested she get a double buggy Grin. Oh and she grumbled about being too young to be a Nan of three!

Anyway, she was fine - DP was worried because he is young, and his sister is older (27 like me), and his mum went mad at her both times. I tried to explain that his sister was in a completely different situation than ours and that is why his mum reacted that way, but he didn't believe me until now! His sister lived with his mum for 4 years with her son, relying on her for everything, failed relationship etc, and now has moved in to a council house, and is with a new guy who won't move in with her even though she is pregnant, treats her like rubbish etc etc - so essentially shes going to be doing all this on her own again. Where as we are both working, own our own house, both drive and have cars, have a stable and established relationship/life, and are able to afford a child.

And she has scousebrows Ahem.

I don't think this pregnancy is a secret anymore. Between both our mothers.......... say no more.

TheDetective · 06/03/2012 21:04

Yes Peaky, yesterday I felt the same. That same heavy feeling you get when you are about to come on. It seems to have eased off now.

I think it is the uterus stretching.

blonderthanred · 06/03/2012 21:28

I'm the same, generally achey with twinges here and there. Mild burpy feeling still but no nausea yet, I was beginning to wonder as everyone else seems to have more symptoms.

Elizadoesdolittle · 06/03/2012 21:30

Hello ladies, room for a rather large small one. I got my BFP only this morning so all still a bit surreal. Clear blue digi said 2-3 wks and I estimate my due date to be 12th Nov which is 2 days after my 38th (yikes!) birthday.

I have a DD who is not long turned 2. Very excited and nervous at the same time. Feeling dull crampy twinges but apart from that it's hard to believe I'm pregnant.

I haven't had time to read through the thread so just marking my place, will grab a decafe cuppa and catch up with everyone's news.

Here's to happy healthy pregnancies all round Smile
