Early poas-er seeks other December 2012 due dates

[StrawberrytallCAKE]

I've just had the official confirmation from my digital clearblue test after many a faint line. I have calculated my due date as 5th December and conception started with a curry, how much information am I supposed to share? Boobs aren't sore yet, just a bit bigger. Have had a horrific cold/flu/sore throat for a week and I am very very irrational.

Anyone else out there?

Stacks Dorothy, If it helps I didn't feel any nausea with my first preg until about 8wks. I remember complaining to my sister about it about wk7, she was 3 wks ahead of me, and she replied "you just wait". She was right, it did come and then lasted till about wk18. Far longer than the books tell it will.

This one is a bit diff. I have what I term mild nausea at wk4+3. Had a craving for fried eggs and sausages this morning. I've just finished them and the smell of the dirty plate and the thought of what I've just eaten is making me feel quite ill. Once it's gone I'll be more or less ok again. I know though, that this is how it starts, so in a week or two I'll have this feeling 24/7. Not looking forward to it at all.

Also my nipples feel like they've been grated.

Thanks Clarella I am in awe of you COD and feel a bit silly for complaining about the 1dc. How are you feeling today?

I am really dreading an 8hr plane ride with nausea, anyone have any tips on that? At least when we get there if I feel sick I'll jump in the pool I think that will definitely help. Last time my morning sickness went around 12 weeks I believe, really hoping it is then or before this time. rosa I've currently got some wristbands on but not sure they're doing much, anything is worth trying. I've also bought a morning sickness hypnotherapy cd which I'll try today.

Still no ms (not complaining!) but agree with the others that lack of symptoms make it seem unreal. I showed my mum a pic I took of the stick as proof I'm not making it up! She thinks I'm being silly... I'm finding it hard not being able to talk to anyone about how detached I'm feeling from everything. Is this normal? I don't know if it's because we weren't trying so I'm not mentally prepared. I feel guilty for not being thrilled. Surely this is supposed to be exciting!?! Maybe just hormones making me feel like this. Maybe I'll feel more like I'm pregnant after midwife appt on Weds. Sorry for wittering on!

Feeling a little more rational today although tiredness has hit again and it's only halfway through the day!
Had to stand in the wind and rain this morning to watch ds play football and spent most of it in the loo hurling!

Still getting into my clothes at the mo but my boobs are just sooo painful!!
Strawberry thank you but I'm sure it's just as hard with 1dc as there's always something to be done and when your not yourself it seems so much worse than it is x

Hello ladies. I've been MIA for a while as dh has been home so i wanted to spend time with him. He's off again now though. I'm feeling crappy. I've been having shoulder pain as well its heartburn. I also have a good chance of twins as I am one and have mc twins a few years ago. We have heaps of twins on both sides. I do not want them though. We only planned to have two so this one i hope is no 3 not 3 and 4!

you are right stacks! Mine kicked in a few days ago. I spent ages wishing them here now all I want is to feel better! I'm never satisfied!

Think I'm a bit late to the Christmas party but can I join? Due 19th December with DC2 - I can't believe how much I've forgotten since the first time round! The only indulgence I had (well apart from a blood test at the docs cos the stick was so faint... that was bloody expensive- no NHS here unfortunately!) is browsing double buggies - I KNOW I don't need one (DS will be 3.5 when this one comes along) .... But I want one!!

I'm finding it really hard not to tell anyone - feel like I'm lying to my family by not telling them but we're abroad and will be back when I'll be 12 weeks (fingers crossed etc) so I really want to tell them in person - I never got to do that with DS and it's not the same over skype! I'm sticking to my guns but the next 8 weeks I'm going to spend biting my tongue v hard!!

Nice to meet you all!

Hi shangers - welcome and congrats! The thought of keeping quiet the next 8 weeks seems like an impossible task - we have told our mums though, but no one else. Can't wait to tell everyone! Whereabouts are you if not in the uk?

tagging on!

Am a namechanger as am not ready to admit this in public yet. We weren't trying for a baby but had a contraception slip up and I couldn't bring myself to take the morning after pill after being broody forever and having had a miscarriage of a planned, doing it all as a single mum baby a couple of years ago. Talked lots about it with my boyfriend and agreed we'd deal with the consequences but the relationship is pretty new (not even a year) so I'm not about to be telling all the world yet, I think we need some time to deal with it first and figure everything out. I haven't even told him as he's away this weekend and I only took a test this morning! Figure I shouldn't spring it on him like that.

So yeah. Second baby but the other is a big kid now, 7! I'm getting 23rd or 25th for an EDD depending on if I use LMP or when I think I ovulated in my cycle. Either way I'm not even at 4 weeks yet and not ready to go to a midwife or anything. It was a REALLY clear + on the test though. And I feel pregnant. Tender (hot) breasts, stomach not quite settled though not nauseous (yet maybe? Hoping it doesn't get so bad as with my first, but then I was working with food when I was pregnant with her!), keep feeling a bit lightheaded, could smell icing on my daughter's birthday cake from another room and just generally different to normal.

I dunno. It'll probably be difficult with the whole relationship thing. But I'm soooo ready for more children, and we talked about it all lots even before this because of the situation I ended up in with my first and her dad - I wouldn't even have had sex with someone who wasn't prepared for the remote possibility that sex sometimes leads to babies! Never mind got into a proper relationship with them....

I'm a bit terrified. That's probably why I keep writing even though I'm kind of rambling. It really isn't an ideal situation. With the newness of the relationship, and the fact I have no money, and not being entirely sure how we'll work it all out. But at the same time I'm so so so happy. There probably isn't ever a perfect time, and we're good at talking, so we'll work it out, and it's such a wanted baby even if I wouldn't have gone and planned it.

Anyway. Hi :)

hi Jingle, sounds complicated but i'm sure it'll work out just grand, congratulations.

Hi everyone! Got my fri the 13th bfp yesterday! Frer and cb digi at 11dpo so still early. This will be our first, took over 22 cycles to get here so very happy but doesn't feel real yet.

I'm worried my AF will come, I'm due Monday I think.

My due date is Christmas eve! :)

Hope everyone is well and progressing nicely

Hi everyone,

Can I join in too? Got a BFP last week, due Dec 14th. It's my 3rd pg in 3 years - lost DS1 at 20 wks in 2010, had my gorgeous DS2 in Jan 2011 and now pg again! I thought that I might take things more in my stride seeing as this isn't completely new, but am just as paranoid as before... Am only wearing white knickers so I can spot bleeding easier and on the days I don't feel utterly rubbish, I worry that something's happened! So I'm hoping you can all help me calm down, or at least share my weirdnesses with me.

I hear you shangers and nasara on the keeping it secret front - I'm going to a wedding in 2 weekends time with all of by bestest mates, and I have no idea how I'm going to hide it from them. I don't want them to find out before my Mum does, that would just feel all wrong. So any suggestions welcome...

Hope you're all doing well and not feeling too yuk.

Hello to all the newbies and congratulations of your BFP's.

I'm completely ready for my boys to be back at school and they're ready to be there. We all need to get back into our routine.

I'm embarrassed to admit that this morning I did a test for the seventh morning in a row I bought a pack of 10 of the internet, so I thought I may as well use them. I will probably test again tomorrow. I'm also still taking my temperature, I just can't seem to break the habit.

I backed the winner in the National today and I'm thinking of spending the winnings on an early scan. I can't bear the not knowing. By coincidence, I also backed the winner when I was pregnant with DS2, I'm hoping this is a good omen.

S'alright kate I have also tested every day since Monday. Think I have managed to give up my temping habit though!

Welcome new ladies!

It is very hard keeping it a secret isn't it? We've now told my mum and dad and siblings and only 8 weeks in Tuesday. Got my first MW appointment then too which I think will make it feel more real for me

I'm going with the ovulation date for the list but kind of hoping it's not for the poor baby's sake. Though it would be an extra special Christmas gift!

I was sitting last night - I had a difficult time with DS during labour and consultant told me at my 6 month check up that he recommended that any future children be delivered by c-section... do you think I could convince him to go for a 12/12/12 birth date?!

Actually, joking aside, I might come back to the planned c-section thing in the future on this thread as I'm not quite sure how I feel about it all. I am going to have a long chat with the midwife about it when I see her on Wednesday... there will probably be tears.
