Great news chick I'm sure it'll all be fine & tell someone if you want to!! :)

daisychain76 · 27/03/2012 10:41

Can't believe how many posts you can miss in a day! So sorry for those who've not had good news/worrying times.

Thechick, that sounds really positive. I had bleeding with both DD and DS and no one could every work out why, but I remember the being brown thing meaning the EPU viewed it as less worrying.

Brockle, it is really nice to know I'm not the only one feeling anxious over DC3 (tho hope we both feel more positive soon). Have been doing a bit of googling and seems like quite a common occurrence with the third for some reason, but once the DC is actually here I get the impression all the worries fade away (probably cos too tired to think any more?!).

I really though with no.3 I would know from my symptoms if it was going to be a DD or DS, but so far is a random mix of both the last pregnancies combined so can't tell at all. Sure I feel a lot more tired this time around, but might just be my memory...

misslaughalot · 27/03/2012 12:21

Crikey, nobody's posted in 90 mins! Is everyone ok?!!

I've been lurking these last few days, nothing really to report here. Just waiting for my booking in next Monday. Still feel queasy and have sore boobs so am assuming everything is ok. I'm 6 weeks today woop!

Great news for those of you who've had successful scans, there really is going to be a bumper crop of November babies!

Today I'm pregnant and I'm going to enjoy it (especially as the sun is shining so wonderfully!) > I'm loving this mantra!

WestWingCJ · 27/03/2012 12:38

Lovely to hear more good news thechick

Just been to Mothercare (ooh, the glamour!) and they have Buy One Get One Half Price on all clothing (including maternity). Not mega savings, but makes it a bit cheaper if you were going to get their stuff anyway.

Had some idiot man with road rage on the way home. Am still a bit shaky now.

On the plus side, I am going to force down a corned beef sarnie and attempt a nap while DD naps. That's the plan, anyway....

FoofFighter · 27/03/2012 12:42

oh chick I'm so pleased for you! do they take pictures in early scans?

MissL - I cam on this morning and nobody had posted since I posted last night Shock I thought maybe everyone has finally run out of things to say Grin

I've been having a nap this morning and dreamt about having a baby, OH and me delivered it, was swaddling it and then it pooped and was changing the nappy but in my newborn exhausted state I kept going to put the dirty nappy back on again, and even managed to get poo in my mouth wtf?!

Preggo dreams, so vivid lol

DesperateHousewife21 · 27/03/2012 12:43

I so should have napped when ds did instead of scoffing bacon rolls and watching one tree hill. He's full of beans now and I'm vv tired.

chick glad it all went well for you :)

FoofFighter · 27/03/2012 12:49

mmm bacon rolls. I'm still off the thought of meat but I reckon I could go a bacon sarnie, especially if it was lovely and crispy :) did you see on BBC Breakfast today that there were people trying to break the record for eating 75 rashers of bacon in one sitting? The dude managed it in 5 minutes Shock

I'm trying to be very good with eating now, as many veg as I can, wholewheat bread, when the pasta and rice run out will change for wholewheat/brown too. I had a reasonable portion of tea last night and didn't snack all evening (unheard of!) except on another hanfdul of cherry plum tomatoes.

Today have had porrdige this morning and an egg sandwich at lunch. Tonight OH and I are havign a Man V Food dinner tongiht, making our own huge burritos - I've got to nip out for lots of fillings, thinking fried onions, grated cheese, chilli (might have to go veggie for that as it's meat Envy ), homemade guacamole, make some sweet potato wedges too

Am determined to as well as I can to offset my risk of gestational diabetes and not put much weight on (or even lose a bit)

NervousAt20 · 27/03/2012 13:11

fooffighter good luck with being determined not to put any weight on! All I seem to want is everything I shouldn't an I'm normally quite a healthy person with lots fruit/veg but not no more and going for an all you can eat chinease tonight :) and praying I manage to eat as eating at night has been a nightmare so me, always trying not to fall asleep in my plate Blush

WaitingForMe · 27/03/2012 13:27

I'm obsessed with food. Read egg sandwich and now I need to go and make one!

Must eat egg sandwich!

FoofFighter · 27/03/2012 13:34

haha sorry!

Last week I had you all craving gummi bears, this week egg sandwiches, any requests for next week?

WaitingForMe · 27/03/2012 13:55

I think that might have been the best egg sandwich of my life FooFighter!

Keep the healthy inspiration coming. Salad cravings would be awesome, I never eaten so many carbs Blush

NervousAt20 · 27/03/2012 14:06

Hmm so not a KFC craving then? Blush

funthatisfunny · 27/03/2012 14:30

Hey y'all WOW what a thread.

So sorry to hear your news bottle and what a lovely attitude you have. I hope you actually are ok though.

Glad you others having problems are not actually having problems and seeing your babies! lots of us are having early scans!

I am 6 weeks today and feel rather too normal for my liking! Have done for last two days too so went bonkers and bought some pregnancy tests! needless to say the line is darker than anything and flashed up straight away so I am glad but wish I had more symptoms. I feel very anxious today in general. Can that be a symptom?! And still very serious food aversions I guess. And a bit emotionally precarious.

I am very miffed (though am being rational about it) because I weighed myself this morning expecting to have lost weight (I think I look and feel nice and slim apart from my huge bloated tum) and have put on 1.5lbs in the last two weeks?! WTF? I haven't been eating loads or anything and have gone off sweet stuff. I honestly thought I would have lost a weeny bit or at LEAST stayed the same. I guess it might just be pregnancy but still am a bit worried, it is SO strange to just be putting on weight. chuh.

am mildly confuddled by the new stats we have to add but wlll follow suit soon! I need to change my age anyways.

It is me and my DH's anniversary today of 12 years together. We aren't doing anything special (lack of babysitter) but are getting a thai (baby wants) takeaway nom nom nom. Pad thai, pad thai, pad thaaaaai.

Oooh, I got a hair cut today that covers all my pregnancy spots on my forehead. All along my hairline, I am rank! Anyone else got this? they really hurt! (TMI?!)

nervous lots of CM is fine and dandy, is like your womb doing its cleaning :) And whoever asked about cramping/twinging that is your womb growing away for your bubs, all fine unless it feels 'wrong'.

OMG I forgot to say, my doc rang yesterday for an update about my EPAU admission last week (all fine) and THEN said we had to have the MW referral conversation! We didn't have it last week at my 'yo am preggers' chat; she really must have thought I was miscarrying and decided not even to bother!

WestWingCJ · 27/03/2012 14:45

Lovely little nap. Yay.

I have put on half a stone (I'm 8 weeks). Eek. Haven't been going mental with food, but even so. It must be mainly my boobs, judging by the size of them. And my arse. Grin

Chunkychicken · 27/03/2012 15:09

Have found ginger biscuits & ginger ale today & it is good - far less Envy today.

funthatisfunny I had spots all around my hairline with my last pg. It was not good... So painful too.

Keep craving meat. Have made DH buy meat crisps yesterday & have had to make do with boiled eggs & hash browns for breakfast despite craving bacon sandwich, sausages etc.

DesperateHousewife21 · 27/03/2012 15:48

Is anyone else addicted to Draw Something on iPhone/ iPad? It def wastes away the boring hours!
If anyone wants to play me my username is tishtosh21 :)

funthatisfunny · 27/03/2012 16:08

chunky I craved meat in my last pregnancy! Was MAD for it - I remember roasting a chicken at 7 at night to get my fix...

This time I am not into meat at all, in fact i don't like it! I like fish and veggie food like tofu and quorn? bizarro.

FoofFighter · 27/03/2012 16:16

DH21 - I'll get my oh to add you, he's addicted to it, I don't have a fancy pants phone though :/ but I can play you on his I am sure he won't mind me prising the freaking phone out of his cold dead hands

Weight - I think I have lost a bit, I am not half as bloaty the last two days and can do my jeans up again. My boobs have settled down too just in the morning and at night now. I hope this is not a bad sign... maybe I should buy some more preg tests/ But then aagian I have been really trying to up my veggies and behave myself I just had cheesecake in Asda

LOL @ baby wants thai Wink enjoy it Funny :) and happy anniversary! You don't need to add anything to the stats unless you want to :)

Ooh I won two pairs of maternity trousers on Ebay last night, with a bit of luck they'll come tomorrow as one is linen flowy style which would be great for this weather, if they fit that is!

FoofFighter · 27/03/2012 16:19

I was thinking re stats - I know some people (me included!) won't want to put up too much personal info and was thinking that maybe when the month has closed that we could set up a private FB group to share piccies and stuff like scans etc a bit further down the line without worrying that we are outing ourselves? What does everyone think?

DesperateHousewife21 · 27/03/2012 16:29

Lol foof go for it! My dh has an iPhone too and he's the same. Always on it of theres 5 secs of silence/ nothing to do. We played it against each other last night. First time in ages we actually did something together!

Chunkychicken · 27/03/2012 16:33

Did you have a boy it girl fun when you craved meat?

I don't remember feeling like this at all with DD, I got off v lightly on the ms front & only went off tea. Later on, I remember being hungry all the time but only having fruit with me at work, so would eat that, inc a banana every day (now I'm bleurggghh at the thought, despite reading that a potassium rich diet helps make boys) and then stuff my face with biscuits when I got home. Can't face tea or coffee at the mo :(

Sure its normal Foof as your hormones adjust, for symptoms to settle down a bit. Like your idea about a FB group too.

Still comfortably in all my normal clothes, but then these are all mainly from pre or immediately post DD when I weighed more. Will have to dig out the maternity gear from last time (its not even 2.5yrs old so not too shabby) and check what I want to wear again, although my DD was born in April & I only needed my maternity jeans in December, so the seasons are completely opposite to this time which may be a problem.Hmm

Shock just dropped my phone on my boobs. Ow!!

FoofFighter · 27/03/2012 16:41

I craved meaty gravyish things with my first and it was a girl. Think it was more fruit based for second which was a boy, so along those lines I guess with me mainlining cherry tomatoes this could be a boy if you think cravings mean something other than what your body needs?

DH - you did something together about 7 weeks ago ;) Grin

have looked into FB group, we can have a secret one ooooh. But can't be created unless you invite people on friends list, so thinking a closed one would be best so you can each search without having to add everyone onto your friends list.

misslaughalot · 27/03/2012 16:50

Ooh I'll play Draw Something too! Played it for the first time at a friends house last week, so need to download it to my iPad first. I'll be ICTDani if anyone wants to play me!

And a FB group sounds good, would love to put faced to names Smile

stabiliser15 · 27/03/2012 16:50

Hello again! Have now been to the Dr for the "hello I'm pregnant" appointment and she thinks I may be as much as 8 weeks gone. So, please can I be added?

Stabiliser15 [29] [DC2] EDD 05/11/12

Boobs not as sore as I recall they were when I was pregnant with DD (now 14 months) but maybe the pain of breastfeeding related ills has made the sore boobs less noticeable! Bit of morning sickness, bit of nausea, but all better than last time when I puked everyday for 8 months but OMG the hormones. I am way beyond unreasonable at the moment. Poor DH crept around me on Sunday, cooked dinner, let me nap and cleaned the entire downstairs and then ran me a bath. I must have been VILE Blush

NervousAt20 · 27/03/2012 16:50

I really think I'm one of the only people I know without a Facebook hmm
