Evening ladies! Do look forward to coming home and reading updates, I can only get online at home after work! Learning so much from you all!!

So personal question, I've been really nervous to 'do it' I told OH that wanted to wait til 6 weeks, I know it's silly but just feels like the poking and orgasm waves could damage it?! I kinda know that's not true but still think it!!!

If you don't feel comfortable it's fine :)

I think that orgasm is good as (I think!) the contractions pump blood about a bit and the relaxy hormones can only be a good thing too right?

I don't feel comfortable having sex yet either even though I know it's probably silly. DP has wanted to but I have brushed him off.

Hey essexwelsh, I've been too scared too.... thought we'd wait a few weeks then start again, then I had some bleeding this week so am def not up for it now!

horseylady and peaky1, really nce to know there are some other running pregnant ladies out there.... I've not been since I bled on Tuesday tho - any idea if it's okay to after bleeding?

Advice appreciated!

Hello everyone! Gosh there's a lot to catch up on....

I'm now 8 weeks today an it's starting to feel a bit more real. Still enormous hooters and complete exhaustion but so far no sickness - I really feel for all those who are heaving their guts up.

I'm in the camp of not buying anything until nearer the time. Practically, we don't finish the house until July time so there's no point buying baby things and then moving them. We're also knee deep in choosing the basics for the house. We have a fun day planned tomorrow looking at tiles...

Right. Need to think about tea which is an ishoo since don't feel like anything except plain pasta which won't keep dh happy!

Wow what an email. I got an email from work about my level 2. It says that am I going to be able to finish it because I'm pregnant!

Hmmm.. I said when she phoned me I had been very sickly, again she asked wheather I'd be able to the course. I said I would but I had been ill.
Ew

Hi ladies, good to hear updates from you all, but no news yet from chickenspots?

I'm suffering from very sore thighs, is anyone else feeling this? I'm only 5+3 so I don't know what could be causing it, but I've had it for a couple of days now.

I pmed chickenspots earlier, no reply as yet. Do hope all is ok

MissL - am sure someone posted in the last fortnight about sore thighs but i can't recall who it was now!

Hi guys well I feel a little more human today than lately. Gosh Ive been so bad with sickness even waking up at 3am to rush to the loo..really pleased for izzy and looking forward to my scan on monday when I should be 7 wks but Im thinking I may be a bit further along than that.

Was chickenspots scan definitely today?

just trawled back through all posts and on weds chickenspots said someone would be scanning her today if she rang at 9am. hope she ok

Anybody else missing a Friday night ??

Hello

I posted ages ago and have been lurking but this thread moves so fast I never get a chance to post!

I too have no symptoms (didn't with DD1 & 2 either). We will not be buying anything as we already have stuff, most big things are unisex and as DH's best friend had a boy then gave us all the clothes for the first year it doesn't matter what flavour I am cooking.

I have a mw app on the 5th April for booking in - nobody seems to care that I have no idea of my dates.

Someone mentioned quick births: DD2 was an unplanned homebirth, born 20mins after my first contraction & 40mins before any proffesionals arrived so not sure what to expect this time...

I didn't drink before anyway. Dh bought me a bottle of wine for valentines day and I had one glass and the rest got thrown away (he doesn't drink)

I'm missing ciggies more but dh said they now cost nearly £7! so quite glad I'm not wasting alot of money on them.

got a 1-2 wks BFP on the 10th of March glad i finally found this thread.

LADIES!!!!! I've just had a look online at Next - their sale is on tomorrow. 7 pages of half price maternity clothes! Theres nightwear and bras etc too! I hve my eye on a few things, including a maxi dress!

We are finding out the sex, but no one thinks we are. Everyone has asked including our parents - but we say we aren't finding out. We want to know, but we want it to be a surprise to everyone else!! If we tell people we know, then they will pester the life out of us!

Not quite sure how we are going to hide it from DS, but we will try! Most of the things we want are going to be unisex anyway, apart from clothes. We might have to leave the decorating of the nursery until after baby arrives so no one sees it! Either that or get a lock on the top of the door!

Had a bargainous day today. Dragged my sorry, lethargic carcass to Ikea to buy the new bed and mattress we I desperately need. (Have been to quite a few shops to try different beds, eventually settled on a particular bed and mattress from there.) They told me the mattress was in an external warehouse, and gave me paperwork to take to the till. So I set about getting the bed, so I could take everything through the till at the same time. I managed somehow to drag the boxes for the bed on to a trolley, and they were HUUUUUGE! Dragged the trolley towards the tills, and through the bargain area, only to pass a mattress on a trolley. Which, for once in my life, turned out to be MY king sized mattress!!! The exact one, reduced by £109! All because it had a black mark on it! I then had to drag two trolleys with massively oversized goods on to the tills! I take it that someone has a sense of humor ^^up there!

But never mind! I'm made up! Comfy nights for me, and my purse feels better for it!

It is getting delivered tomorrow! So excited! Poor DP will have to dismantle our old bed, and build the new one tomorrow after a 10 hour shift at work

Tomorrow, I intend on doing nothing but sitting in the garden. After I clean the dog poop up . In a full on hazard protection suit. And attach a bag to my mouth for the vomit. Maybe some smelling salts for my nose.... errrr!

Welcome Hoebag! Love the name!

Mrsb do they say rest after a bleed? I couldn't face today just felt so sick. Working in the kitchen after a hospital shift killed me!! Anyway I'll run and ride between shifts!!

Thanks congrats the rest of you.

Hello all. Now on antibiotics for my cough. Dr is also trying to get me an early scan due to pinky discharge. Nervous already! Am 38 also and had mmc last year, so am paranoid.

Our study is gonna be the nursery if all goes well. It's already green so will just freshen it up nearer the time.
My sister has been saving all her stuff from her kids, so will be inheriting most of that, thankfully. She had a boy and a girl so I'll be alright whatever comes out. Not picking any of it up until after 12 week scan, though. Not finding out sex, want it to be a surprise.

Hey chickenspots I hope you are ok... if you are lurking.

welcome hoebag, congrats and ace name! And italaitala that is the quickest labour I have ever heard of! Were you ok? Mine was 3hrs and 45 mins (planned homebirth thank goodness!) and that seemed super fast and quite scared me! Lord knows what will happen this time but at least I would be prepared for them to shoot out ;0)

Oooh donna you poor thing being sick at 3am.

I do have symptoms but not anything dramatic. Gentle bouts of ms queasiness and no crying yet (well, not really). majorly spotty today though!

I shan't be buying anything either till after the 12 week scan when I shall probably get a little hat or something and then after the 20 week one maybe a baby grow and start crocheting. I was buying DS's cot at 35 weeks pregnant last time, not good at getting stuff early. not cause of 'jinxking' anything, just don't want to. This next one will be in DS's stuff anyway, especially if it is a girl :) (if I don't have a wee lassie that loves dinosaurs and muck I don't know what on earth I will do!)

Speaking of crochet OMG that light saber looks amazing (and quite dildo-esque!). I am only a simple crocheter tho, that looks reet tricksy and time consuming boo.

We found out DS's gender so prob will this time too. And won't have any tests as it would change nothing anyway and would only make me fret if they said anything remotely negative :)

Is all so exciting but I just can't shake the feeling this is all too good to be true!

gawd sport relief is killing me! those poor childers :(

Off to bed, sleep well all (well, those who do go to bed to sleep )

Ps horsey and you other exercising ladies - I would love to carry on running/swimming! but if i do, particularly running, I get more crampy than usual later and it feels 'odd'. I had this with DS and so stopped and didn't exercise at all and got fat. Don't want to this time but am a paranoid - are you guys feeling completely 'normal' after your exercise?

Also, I think I would die of tiredness!

The next sale is fab! I had a VIP slot on thurs night so I got to order the stuff in the sale early! Definitely worth a look!

funny - we were both fine - no tears or anything. I thought at one point "I can't do this - it hurts more than last time" (that is cos I wasn't having any pain relief, Doh!) then I felt the head and she was born within minutes. Luckily DH cousin was staying - she invited herself round as she had been at a conference locally and DH said it could be useful if I went into labour she said "I'm not a mw, I cant deliver the baby" (she trained as a nurse 20yrs ago) and DH said "NO - to look after DD1 while we go in" Ha Ha - last time she invites herself to stay!!!

Funny I've found horse riding is fine though the first week after finding out was quite painful but I had loads of cramps then anyway. My body is used to riding daily (or more!!). Not run yet for fear of sick well I've run at agility training lol have been walking, cycling and swimming and been fine. Just listen to your body I guess. That's what everyone keeps saying x
