Jan 2013 club: "Oh, wow, it's positive!"

[blackcurrants]

So I POAS and oh, wow, it's positive!
From my online calculating, that puts the due date at Jan 20th, ish, 2013.

This will be my second, DS is currently 20 months old.

I'm so exciiiiiiiiiiited and I can't tell anyone yet! Also, I am looking for a new job and we're talking about buying a house. Crazy, moi?

Anyone else?

Oh Brug fingers crossed for you. I find the sickness comes and goes depending on how tired/hungry I am.

Hello all . Not been in for a bit so catching up , i am 6 weeks and oh so very sick :( cant keep anything down and am exhausted. Not sleeping well due to sinus trouble . All in all a rather grumpy me , not great when trying to entertain a 6 and 3 year old .

oh im not on the list would someone add me please! im 26 this is first child, i have an early scan on te 12th june and edd 24th jan thanks

I'm trying to reassure myself that no developments is a good thing and the longer it stays like this the more likely it is that everything is fine. On the otherhand, part of me keeps worrying that it's ectopic or I'll get to the scan and it will have died several weeks before.

Brugs - my gp referred me for a scan because of spotting. Have you asked if you can have one?

None of my clothes fit either. I have no tummy muscles left after three children already. I'm usually an 8/10 but am now in my maternity trousers and wearing size 12 tops. I'm trying to keeping my tummy out of sight until after my 12 week scan - I've not got a date yet but it'll be at least a month.

brug - hope you are doing ok. Keep thinking positive thoughts!

mummypad - that sounds a bit miserable. On a positive note, at least you won't be gaining lots of weight!

cartoonface I have added you to the list

Excellent news, bugsy!

Hi all, I've been lingering for a while and have finally joined, congratulations to you all and hope your all as happy as I am :)

I am 32 years young and due 30th Jan so currently 6 weeks, already have DD 14 months old. Only been sick once - which is total opposite to previous pregnancy but I'm exhausted. On the positive having a toddler means I can have a nap with her every afternoon :)

Look forward to getting to know you all and good luck xx

Brug I agree with the others if you've had bleeding you should get an early scan. If you've any reason to suspect it's ectopic then you should definitely have one as that's quite serious.

Welcome missy

I don't have any reason to suspect it is ectopic, just irrational fears combined with I'll advised googling and seeing that sometimes there are no obvious symptoms.

I won't be able to arrange an early scan until the middle of next week now anyway as we're away from tomorrow until Monday. I have a general nurses appointment on Monday at my GP so if there's more bleeding over the weekend I'll mention it then.

Googling is the worst. Just flames the fans of fear. I've banned myself! I'm going to go and watch that silly film tonight, " What to expect" with my sister for some light relief. There's no way in hell I'd persuade DP to come. We live 60 miles apart anyway.....

I seem to have fallen off the list, so re-adding myself:

Booking in appointment tomorrow, which I'm looking forward to. Almost as much as I'm looking forward to the cauliflower cheese that's currently in the oven...

Glad I'm not the only one having a clothes crisis. I'm quite bloated I think so a bit uncomfortable. I'm in loose and stretchy clothes too.

hmm, how do I add myself to the list - obvs being thick but incase anyone can add me ( much appreciated)

Godzookey (35) #1 EDD 14/01/13 - scan date, god only knows, depends on when i hear back from incompetent GP!!

Ok - i am stupid, just seen myself on the list - can i blame that on the fact i've just got out of a 3 hr meeting and have total brain drain.

My colleagues accused me of being pregnant as I had to succumb to a wierd craving for a chicken and mushroom pot noodle for lunch! GOD knows why - i haven't eat one since I was a student?

What other wierd cravings has everyone been having??

I really want salty stuff. Ham and Cheddar sandwiches, wholemeal toast and Lurpak.... And bizarrely, pasta with Mayo.

Also eating salty things, lots of marmite on toast. Drinking gallons of fizzy water.

Also I had a strop with DP at the weekend because he wouldn't let me have chips for breakfast. How very unreasonable of him.

Have already come to bed feeling so poorly. Hardly slept again last night I'm sure insomnia is slowly killing me. All today though have had really bad cramps, the type where all your colour drains from your face, not like the stretchy ones I've had before, feel dreadful and worrying myself sick, no bleeding though and am trying to resist google!

Kim I'm having horrible cramps too, stabbing pains on the left side really low down... Couldn't resist googling and had a good rummage around, but no bleeding so fingers crossed it's stretching pains. Try not to worry :)

Craving egg mayonnaise and carrots and really gone off hummus, which I normally eat by the bucketload. Also thinking a lot about meat lately which is v. odd as I'm hardcore veggie!

I'm craving fruit , ginger beer , toast n blackcurrant jam oh n Chinese food

Thanks for putting me on the list squealy.
I'm finding myself really full very quickly even if I feel starving before I ate. And stuff I normally like doesn't seem as yummy any more. No cravings yet thou

god lol it's called pregnancy brain :) Also craving fruit, cookies and curry

Hmmmm, my craving is for basically anything savoury, but particularly Indian food (the thought of it is SO appetising). I haven't managed to indulge this particular craving yet as DH made lasagne three nights ago and we've been eating it ever since! However, I bought a chicken jalfrezi ready meal from Asda today to have for lunch tomorrow. I never eat ready meals, but haven't time or energy to cook at the moment after a full day's work so needs must....:)

Welcome to the new people :)

I'm glad its not just me whose eyes are bigger than their stomach. I can only eat tiny amounts. Loving ice pops though, eating 3 or 4 a night.

Boutique, I always crave chinese, pregnant or not

Just had a bit of a splurge on some more clothes. Gap had 30% off at the moment so bought a load of non-maternity jersey stuff that should be able to accommodate expansion.

Shame I can't only eat tiny amounts - I'm eating for 5 let alone 2!

My cravings are for olives, tzakiki dip, bread bread and more bread yum yum yum, ice cream, humous (unlike Tugs) and, randomly, coronation chicken.....not sure how much is me allowing myself to eat what I like now I'm pregnant though and how much due to cravings. I like to blame the cravings! With DD I craved sprouts, ate a tonne (poor DH) then went off them to the point of wanting to puke every time I thought of them.
