Oh god. Puking and upset tummy! Is it over indulgence , joys of pregnancy or another bug Sad

Someone save me Sad

Welcome trilottie!

From a skim-read I have to say scan-SNAP with pezzina. Same day, same time - next thurs at 3.30! Can't wait...

Off to read the news in more detail now.

Hello, shiny new thread! (Welcome trilottie!) I feel blooming tired, does that count?

Bubble, I'm generally feeling much better but still managed to get rid of my breakfast in short order yesterday - DH says, "imagine you're a mother penguin feeding your porcelain chick, that might not help." Hmm But there's light at the end of the tunnel, I'm sure...

Loopy, pure genius. My online window shopping so far has been mostly jellykitten toys and Steiff bears, but I might take in the occasional sparkly ring as well now. Grin

Dame, your playcentre nightmare appointment sounds awful, but I couldn't suppress a giggle - you must save it up for a brilliant chapter in your memoirs!

DameFlatYouLent · 15/03/2012 19:18

Thanks all for the sympathy Grin It was pretty funny but not helped by the fact that I always pass out when having blood taken, unless I'm lying down. So I was lying on the flipping floor (nothing to lie down on, obviously) whilst being pelted with bits of food.

Argh my stomach is enormous! And it's not baby...but I look pregnant! Argh!!

pinpan arf at porcelain chick! I can imagine not so funny when you've just "fed" it though...

Gizzy mmm pork roast. I've had a complete fail on food tonight, so DH has just dashed out for pizza. God knows what I'll feed DS tomorrow after work

MissRedIndie · 16/03/2012 06:16

loopy, one of my husband's friends told him that he'd bought his wife diamonds for each of their 4 children. Because of this I totally got away with demanding a diamond eternity ring when dd1 arrived and have already started discussions about what type of diamond I'd like this time! Don't know how I'm getting away with it Wink

In other news, we're moving house! Just sold our place and had an offer accepted for a new house - potentially could be in by end of April. I feel exhausted just at the thought of packing up all my junk!

GizzyBoo · 16/03/2012 07:53

I got a packet of chocolate hobnobs with #1 Hmm
He did ask me to marry him a few weeks later though Grin

We made the announcement last night. We had told parents and siblings over the last week. Hubby even told the in laws!!! Anyway last night I changed my profile pic on Facebook to a baby on board car thingy and just waited for people to notice Grin It was funny seeing their reactions!
The kids are so excited and can't wait to tell everyone.
I know I haven't had me scan yet but sod it. We are happy...things feel ok. I just wanted to shout from the rooftops there is a wee button in my belly and we are thrilled Grin

Get well soon Bubble {{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}

PS. Whispers I think the MS has gone!!! Shock

MissRed I think a diamond per child is only fair! Grin

Gizzy I love your excitement, it really put a smile on my face! :) I think all the cautiousness with foods & not telling people and bla bla bla really doesn't put you in the right frame of mind sometimes Sad

Anyway, I've got my early scan later so see if anything's happened...please think happy uterus thoughts for me!!

Bubblebell1 · 16/03/2012 08:23

Morning girls!

Feeling less sick but feel like the real Emma had been abducted by aliens and left this emotional wreck.
Big barney with dp last night. Stemmed from do missing my grandads birthday meal tonight. Dp is in Liverpool working and it's going to be near on impossible or him to get back in time. It's not that it's a huge deal just I could of done with his support, my sister is going to be there and I'm so worried that once she has had a few she will get nasty. I dont want to miss it. It's not everyday your grandad gets to 88!

loopy I'd love a diamond. Don't think I will be so lucky if I carry on like this Sad

Glad you have told everyone gizzy and that they are happy for you.

Bubblebell1 · 16/03/2012 08:24

Good luck at your scan loopy x

GizzyBoo · 16/03/2012 09:18

Bubble give yourself a break lovely. You are hormonal, tired and sick and have a selfish cow of a sister to contend with too. Anyone in your shoes would have had a meltdown long before now.
Get your glad rags on and go to your grandads party with your head held high. You have nothing to be embarrassed about. A baby is a wonderful thing that will bring much love to your whole family.
The sooner your sister takes her head out of her arse and realises that the better! Smile

Good luck with your scan today Loopy xx

Thanks gizzy. I'm planning on s day of pampering to make myself look gorgeous for tonight. I bought a new top and am gonna have to wear it with leggings as it's the only thing that will fit over my ginormous arse! May even stick some false lashes on ( wont be getting drunk so no worries of them sticking to my cheek halfway thru the night) and curl my hair. Depends how energetic I feel later.

Guccigirl79 · 16/03/2012 09:59

Bubble I would defo go tonight all glammed up & show your sister you're not bothered (even though you are,she doesnt need to know that!) Hope it goes well & you enjoy a day of pampering :)

I too will try my luck on the diamond front though i can imagine what the responce will be lol

PopcornMouseInBoots · 16/03/2012 10:03

Has anyone gained any weight yet? I've gained 5lbs already, sob :( which the MW very kindly said might just be water retention (it's really not!)

Pixiepops · 16/03/2012 10:15

I have Popcorn. Probably about 6lbs, though I'm not completely sure what I was to start with. My stomach's definately bigger than it was and just about all of my trousers & jeans are tight. I'm determined that I'm going to wait until after I've seen the scan before I enter into the world of maternity clothes though. Confused

Thanks for the lovely new thread Gizzy. From the sounds of it I've got about the same chance as you when it comes to a diamond!

Enjoy tonight Bubble. Smile

cakes82 · 16/03/2012 10:22

11wks today, but i'm not sure if baby is the size of a tomato, a lime or a ping pong ball (depending which webpage you look at, also cant decide if they are actually all same size.) lol :o

I don't think I'd have much luck on the diamond front I had a trilogy ring for an engagement ring.

I haven't weighed for a a couple of weeks but last time I did i'd lost weight not gained :( When I went to Drs she took blood tests to make sure nothing odd going on, results on Mon.

Bubblebell1 · 16/03/2012 12:13

I think I've put on 8lbs I seem to have got bigger everywhere especially my bum thighs and hips, rather depressing. Especially as I cant seem to stop stuffing my face with frazzles and rice Krispie squares.

Do you girls have much planned for the weekend?

Beeblebear · 16/03/2012 12:57

I have gained 3-5 lb depending on last poop. Lol

So glad it.s friday! Want to wear jeans to work but there is a big meeting on today with Deans from other universities. Oh I might just do it anyways and wear a nice top.

And don't get me started on the tops! My tummy pudge/bloatedness sticks out. Of everything!! Can no longer suck my gut in comfortably.

Oh and had a, rotten sleep, had a nightmare just before I got up that I was having a mc :(

GizzyBoo · 16/03/2012 13:27

I had lost 8lb but have since put on 3lb again so I am -5lb to my original weight. My jeans are well tight though! I don't look different though. I think being a size 18 I have plenty of hiding space Blush

I plan on moving the chook house tomorrow Bubble. I want to get some more chooks but the ones I have at the min can escape their pen so I need to make it more secure before we get some babies Grin

What a rock and roll life I lead Grin

LoopyLa · 16/03/2012 13:33

Oh my God!!!!! I have a little tiny human being inside me with a little fluttery heart!!! Grin Grin Grin

I bawled my eyes out Blush and I'm the type of person who doesn't even cry at funerals - in the last week I've cried at Pretty Woman and the bloody Calendar Girls for God's sake Blush Blush

Thanks for all the support girls, I don't know what I'd do without you! Thanks

SO SO pleased! I just can't believe it and am so happy. The sonographer actually moved me later to the 29th October so 3 days later, officially am 7 +4.

I'm going to Asda tonight to buy bicarb of soda Grin

And with the weight chat, I checked myself and so far have put on 4 lbs.

I shall cut & paste an updated list with my new date.

Good luck tonight Bubblebell, we 're all rooting for you!

At the weekend, I'm telling my Mum and sisters who will die of shock Shock Grin

Thought I'd add myself here too :)

Is anyone else really suffering with sickness? I seem to be getting worse rather than better Hmm I have even brought myself some Seabands to see if they do anything lol.
