Due In DECEMBER 2006

[meggmoo]

I would imagine I'll be the first to post here for a little while - I just found out today.

Look forward to hearing for you soon

Devongirl i second what carmelli said i had days with nothing then other days with everything im nearly 12 weeks now (scan on mon)and now im ill every day im sure it wont be long when you gets of symptoms.Im first time pg too xx

Hi,

I hope you are all well and enjoying the sunshine, I hope it lasts through the weekend - could be bbq weather at this rate.

Olihan - congrats on the scan results - were you expecting the scan? I am also at the consultant next week - I wonder if I will get a scan while I am there. Ooooh - exciting. Also (Sorry if TMI) - was the consultant just questions and stuff or do I need to be in my 'doctor' (ie v large) undies??!!

Devongirl - I am also due on Boxing Day and I had had similar to you with pg symptoms up to now. Some days I feel great - no really!! And other days I feel bloated with sore boobs and nausea. I don't think it is anything to worry about. I was panicking with every change in symptoms at first but as my DH said - there isn't a damn thing you can do if something does go wrong and stressing yourself out is only going to be bad for you and the little beanie. He just keeps reminding me to relax and eat well and sleep and I'm sure things will take their course. If something is going to go wrong for one thing I kind of believe that in some way you would know (although I know that isn't necessarily true) and you couldn't stop it so just try and relax and look after yourself.

Anyhow, sorry for long post. Good luck.

Sorry Devongirl - just realised its Olihan that's due boxing day - mind has well and truly gone.

Olihan - I think more people will probably join the further on we go. And it is nice to have so many of us.

Cupcakes - good luck for your scan tomorrow - don't forget to update us all.

Oooh, and sorry (going a bit post mad here!!) can we collect up due dates, will be nice to know who is due when, cos my mind is currently as useful as boiled cabbage. Not quite sure how useful boiled cabbage is as a mind...????!

lennied - 26/12/06 (not confirmed yet though)

Hi All,

I hope everyone is well, Devongirl ive not had any symptoms at all yet and i think im about 7weeks or so, it was like this with my first so im not overly concerned although it does worry me a little bit, i remeber having sore boobs with ds but cant remeber when that kicked in, i didnt have any other symptoms, no sickness cravings nothing, i felt like i was missing out lol :) i cant wait for the 12 week mark so i can have a scan and know that all is well.

cupcakes good luck today

Cupcakes: hop eit goes well today, thinking of you

enjoy the sun today if you can, think they said it not going to be a great weekend, hope they are wrong.
we have another 2 viewings today at 12.30 and 4 so this morning will be busy as ever with lots of housework and persuading a 2.5yr dd to keep her toys tidy

Thanks for the messages everyone - I know it is stupid to worry but when you feel constantly sick for 6 weeks and then it just stops it is a very odd feeling. Anyway, back to normal today, where just the thought of a cup of tea or a piece of chocolate is making me break out in a cold sweat! Bleurgh! I never thought I'd be glad to feel sick!!!

dd 17/12

Good luck cupcakes!

Congrats on the return of the m/s , devongirl, IYKWIM! my symptoms keep disappearing too.

phew! scan was fine. foetus measured 8 weeks (although i'll get my proper dating scan in a fortnight) and she could see the heartbeat. When she saw it I cried - she was the same lady who did my scans after my mc and in the same room so it was rather emotional.

Congratulations on the scan results cupcakes, I think I would have cried too. Have been feeling a bit under the weather here, got an awful cold and sore throat. Have now lost my voice completely. Shame there is nothing you can really take for it - hopefully a quiet weekend will get rid of it.

Have also noticed this morning that my tummy is definately taking on a pg shape. I think it is bloating rather than bump still but is getting increasingly difficult to hide and only just coming up 8 weeks. Hee hee, too many pies!!

Add me to the stats edd 19/12/06 (second - nr one 2.5).
Got scan date & booking-in appointment through this am. Excited that something happening at last.
Bought stretchy trousers yesterday, 'cause I'm fed up of squeezing into my normal trousers - especially in this heat.

I definitely have a bump showing now. Most trousers are too tight and I can only wear skirts if I hitch them up to my waist (too tight around tummy) which then makes them rather short.
Feel really self conscious about it as I'm not ready to tell anyone yet.

I feel exactly the same, very self concious, especially as my tummy isn't exactly flat as a pancake to begin with (am a size 14/16) so I just look like I've been overdoing the food! All my work clothes are now quite tight around the waist and I feel like a blob. Plus tummy isn't solid, it is soft so does just look fat. Have been off work this week as well, so convinced everyone will be whispering on Monday as I have really noticed a change this week. A few knew I was TTC so I'm sure they'll come to their own conclusions fairly soon. Can't wait until we've had our 12 week scan and can tell people. So far have told my parents-in-law, a couple of very clsoe friends and my boss, but no-one else. Had to tell boss for health and safety otherwise would have waited. I just hope everything goes ok now, otherwise going to be very depressed about body if no baby at end of it. I'm sure its just the hormones getting me down tho

Hi guys, just thought I'd add myself in too. Just passed the 11 week mark and still feeling pretty sick. Have invested in some sea bands - the wrist bands for travel sickness and I have stopped vomiting since wearing them - just feel nauseous, which I guess is preferable!? Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone was still struggling.

Roll on Friday when I hit 12 weeks. I don't think there is anyone that doesn't know about my pg, mostly due to a combination of factors: I only have one suit I can fit into at work now, total aversion to tea after being addicted to it, turning green and running out of the office, and the sudden giving-up of smoking was probably a fair indication!!

I started off on the due on Nov board as original EDD was 24/11, but its getting quite hard now with everyone seeming to be so far ahead of me - talking about symptoms fading, feeling energetic, being 'well past the first trimester' etc. Not long to go though before I'm p**ing you lot off saying the same thing I guess!

Hope you don't mind me hopping between boards - just feel like I've got more in common with you guys at the moment!

Hope you've had / are having a good restful weekend, C

cupcakes,soooooooooooo happy for you (and jealous you've seen beanie.)

bought some £5 trousers in primark(in the next size up) and currently feeling slightly less pie munchie at work. They're quite low rise with a wide waist band, so as trinny and sue would recommend they chop my huge butt in half. Hooray! the shallow small pleasures of the pg!

Hello all, can I add myself to stats?

10 weeks now, due on 15/12, day after ds's 3rd birthday(he's 2.5 now)!

Glad I'm not the only one feeing fat and tired :) Can't find the maternity clothes in the garage so buying belly belt on ebay! Not nauseous or sick, but v.fussy about my food & wanting loads of junk! Down with cold & bad asthma-related cough for 2 or so weeks now, and fed up because I can't take anything to feel better. Felt alternately miserable & really angry for weeks, so I'm glad that's fading off! Excited now I have my scan date.

Hope everyone's having a better time of it soon!

scan tomorrow,feel very very nervous.Nite all
