EDD Late May/early June, connecting bus for Late sept/early Oct +ive TTCers, this way ladies.

[FrustratedSycamorePants]

Welcome to the connecting bus ladies, next stop morning sickness, booking in, and dating scans.
Estimated Time of Arrive late May early June 2013.

I know we said we'd wait until the end of the month, But I'm so excited. and hungry, and need a wee again, and nervous, and my boobs hurt, and the voyeuristic spiders are still watching me

We'll keep our FX that we all stay the distance, and our ttc sisters will join us soon.

Thanks pear and thunder. I'll tell him he can skip this one.

Also, thundernonk? I'm having a tough time keeping up with the name changes round here! Everything's gone all ponk, bonk, nonk.

Should I become Lorelonk? (not sure I'm keen on that!)

morning folks, sorry to have missed the fun last night. don't know whether it was the BBC4 documentary I was forced to watch or my first busy Monday back after 4 weeks away but I also fell asleep on the sofa BEFORE 10pm. This is unheard of.

secretly pleased cos this (tiredness) is really my only symptom to speak of. keep testing my boobs for tenderness but they just aren't sore (really itchy nipples tho - anyone else got this?!?)

i'm also well jell of kitty having a scan. have been debating it round and round in my head. it would reassure me to see a HB but i know that its really just a snapshot on the day, anything could happen the next week etc. but 12 weeks is SO long to wait.......

I feel ill too! I'm awful when I feel sick! My mum's always been able to carry on no matter how bad she feels but my normal reaction is to hide in bed until I feel better! Can't really do this with DS to look after though!

I was fine until I got out of bed & then I started feeling sick, managed to force down a cracker & some water before needing the loo very urgently! Feeling a little less sick now but I have a bad feeling that it's just a temporary reprieve! I want another easy pregnancy like I had with DS! Am beginning to think this must be twins.... Or worse, a girl... Or both!

God, don't mention twins jojoba. My husband's dad is a twin, and so is his grandfather on his mother's side!

Jojo I had a very easy pregnancy with dd but have much more symptoms this time and have felt queezy since for the last 4 days,not a good sign for things to come, I think this may be horror of horrors a boy lol
Pleased to report just the one though, teeny tiny heart beat, frus you wouldn't normally get dating scan, it's because I fell pg straight after mc plus I wasn't sure if I'd had that spotting that time aswell, anyway they said it was too early to date acuratly but around 6 wks seemed correct, I had a 3+ on the digi the fri before last meaning 5 so I'm going by that still making me 6+4 due 31st may! If anything there's a chance id be a couple of days less rather then more ( gutted face) I was hoping shed say oh no kitty you are 7wks anyhow will be interesting to see what it is down the line and if all our predictions are correct as I got my bfp the Same day as pink

Horaay kitty! How exciting! Brilliant news.

lorelonk I think it's the mothers side you worry about with twins as with fraternal twins it's the mother's propensity to release two eggs instead of one. Who knows tho.... What do you think about having twins?

There's a reason why I've looked into this!

Nice one kitty - little heartbeat sounds great!

thundernonk (and thank you for adopting the lorelonk * I don't know how I'd feel about twins. It wouldn't be the worst thing, as I only plan to have 2 (if I'm lucky) and it would get it all done in one go. That said, it's obviously huge amounts of work and for a first baby, to have two instead of one sounds a bit scary! I'd just deal with it either way though. It certainly wouldn't be awful or anything and it's not like I already have kids to look after.

Awww! Teeny tiny heartbeat! That must have been so lovely kitty!

I'm feeling a little better now, although I haven't eaten anything & am back in bed trying to convince DS that he does want a nap despite having a long sleep last night! There's some thumb sucking going on so I might be in luck! I think I'll try to get some rest too & hope I magically feel better later! I've cancelled the oven man, no way am I going shopping feeling like this which means no cooking without the ingredients so all I have left to do is potter around picking up toys & dusting! Hopefully I can manage that later!

Hi Everyone, blimey I missed all the fun last night - I was in bed at 9.15pm....

Had a horrendous morning, keep having to remind myself that if I don't eat, I will feel much worse. Have perked up a bit now... reading last nights thread helped!! Don't know how I would cope with another DC running round the place!

I meant to say, when I saw my GP last week, all she did was get me to book in with the midwife and ask me if I was taking folic acid etc.
She didn't do a pg test, check my blood pressure, weight anything. Was a bit of a let down really... She did bang on for ages about the 12 week scan and all the tests for abnormalities, which was tough to listen to at 6 weeks

Aaah kitty that's lovely x

As for the twin thing, should I be worried there are identical twins in my Mums immediate family, and fraternal twins in my Dads??

Sorry you're not feeling great, buddy.

Apparently identical twins are not hereditary as its just pure chance that the sperm and egg split in two. Having said that I think if you get one set, you have a higher likelihood of having another one. With the fraternals, again I believe it's passed down on the mother's side. I haven't read anywhere that your grandmother's Hyperovulation (likelihood to release more than one egg) could be passed to you through your dad's genes, but I'm definitely not an expert!

I have to say, I am not enjoying being pg at the mo Does that make me a bad person??

Thanks thunder I reckon it will be luck of the draw then! How are you feeling?

If anyone needs distracting from ms, go find the 'how to steal a bull' thread! I was lol-ing so much that DS decided not to go to sleep, stood up in his cot & giggled at me! I just couldn't stop until I was crying! All is quiet in our house now though! Phew!

Of course it doesn't make you a bad person! Did you expect anyone would say yes to that?! Cling to the fact that it should pass in a few weeks and you'll start to 'glow' we all hope!

I'm ok ta. Mostly shattered, either suddenly starving or feeling horribly full and very likely to gag, particularly in the mornings/evenings and particularly if I'm faced with some form of squished invertebrate or sonething like dog poo.

Philosophical about twins possibility too.

Send us the link, jojo, I need a giggle!

Bull stealing

Brilliant.

Can somebody give me a hug. I'm hormonal and need a no questions asked hug.
Ps children are not easy.

MASSIVE hug for frus

And a x

Someone pull me away from zulily.co.uk!! I've become a little very obsessed with the site! Have just brought two pairs of pjs for my nephews. By the way my rucksack changing bag arrived yesterday...it is very practical...very manly...not sure it was the best buy but I think DH will get good use of it lets be honest when on earth is he going to take the baby out on its own lol

Frus big hug!

Big hug [frus] x

Doh. frus (fingers type too quickly).

I haven't started looking at baby things online yet pear but will bookmark that site. Still not quite believing it's true and trying not to get too attached just in case anything happens. It's still so early!

Feeling really light-headed today though. Had a little of it last week but really spaced out today. Going to see Radiohead tonight (DH is a huge fan) and we have standing tickets. Really not feeling up to it right now.

What's a good pick-me-up for energy-sapped, dizzy pg ladies?

I've found that going out and doing something has been the best fatigue buster for me! I can be in a total heap on the sofa, feeling pretty terrible, but if I'm forced to go out and do something fun, it takes my mind off it and I'm fine. So that will only work if you enjoy Radiohead too! Otherwise reach for the sugar I say.

I'm the same with shopping/buying things. it's not a baby yet to me, it's just a load of cells which may or may not be viable. Obviously I really hope they are though!

I probably should've gone out for a walk at lunchtime, to get some air. Just felt too out of it.

Hopefully you're right and tonight will perk me up. I do like them and my DH's enthusiasm should perk me up too.

May just grab some Oreos from the vending machine in the canteen at work though.

Raaaa. May I have a little rant please?

Have been a bit crampy today. No bleeding, thank goodness, but still enough twinges to be a little concerned. I said this to DH, who decide to ask me why I was being so negative?! Not really the Response I was looking for, it's not like I am trying to be worried!

Can someone please tell me if I am being hormonal and need to just leave it alone, or is that an inconsiderate response?!

Self involved rant over. Thank you for listening. Here is a biscuit for your troubles :)
