Gosh I've missed so much! Been struggling to post on my phone so just trying to catch up on the laptop whilst watching Ghostbusters. I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling to keep up with the thread, I guess we just have to do the best we can in between naps!
Spamfrit I'm not at all worried I might get fed up of cooing over babygros - I'm more worried I might go mad and buy millions more than baby can ever wear! MIL is already shopping like mad and I very nearly won a job lot of cloth nappies on Ebay today. Must have more self control!
Speaking of which, oops we've already bought a buggy Scubastevie! DH found just the one he wants and got it on Ebay for a steal. It's to stay in MIL's garage until baby is home though, so if I want to go and casually push it around pretending to have a baby I will have to go and do it there!
Pipsicles sorry to hear you are feeling ill, I'm not surprised you are freaking out after what happened last time. Hope your doctor is able to put your mind at rest and that everything is ok.
Doraemon, MrsBradleyCooper and Tink I'm glad I'm not alone feeling starving all the time - I have become possessed by a greedy monster! Just can't stop gobbling - and recently it's been Magnum icecream lollies!
AuntieJu glad to hear you got on ok at the wedding. Funny how that works isn't it, I was convinced it wouldn't but it did! The fools! 
You will be perfectly ok having a small amount of alcohol now and then, a few sips won't do any harm. I like your strategy btw - but doesn't it start to go wrong when poor DP becomes drunker and drunker?!
HeeHeeHeeBum I'll be interested to hear whether you manage to fool your parents. coffee. My sister is having a BBQ for her birthday shortly before my first scan and I so wish they were the other way round, so I could go ahead and tell her. Eric it is very tempting to have a private scan, they cost £97 at the clinic near us.
Tinkerbellaflora and Hitchingal I haven't really told anyone either - just one close friend who lives a good hour's drive away - oh and the whole of MN of course! I know what you mean Tink about it feeling a bit deceiptful - particularly when I was throwing away drinks people were buying me!
Hitchingal like HeeHeeHeeBum says it really helps to talk on here. DH has told his mother, which I agreed to because he doesn't have a MN thread to post on, but I think it will feel isolating until it can be out in the open and I can see how people react and what it's like to be known to be pg iykwim? You will be absolutely fine you know, we will all help support each other and keep saying "this too will pass"(!) and local groups will get us all through. Do you feel any better now you've started looking at services in your area?
so far - maybe it hasn't hit me yet! I did have a wobbly moment when I realised how much interference we could expect from outside our little family unit. MIL has got some very strong feelings about my antenatal treatment and the birth. She has also started baby shopping! Goodbye any space in our house!
Welcome to Threefortea, Withnail (good username!), Milkyjo, Carikube and Strawbsandcream!
Tiddleypom I reckon I'm probably going to be told late February as well, but the whole of the first month was over for most of the women on the February thread by the time I got my bfp, so I thought I'd hang out with the March crew! In reality some of us will come early and some late I suppose. Sorry to hear the ms has got you, but at least you must feel pregnant!
Loislame I hope your booking appt goes well tomorrow. Another two weeks till mine - I'll be 9 weeks by then. How slow can time possibly go?!
I've caved in to the pain and bought a maternity bra. It's funny how it unclips - I keep hilariously flashing my nips at DH! Can't believe all bras don't do that! He is not amused.
