January 2014 - Start the new year off with a pop

[MissMedusa]

Any one else hoping for a 2014 baby?

I'm hesitantly dipping my baby toe in the pool after having a mc last October. I'm 4+2 today with my first and hoping and praying this one sticks.

Here's to 2014!

Hi everyone. Can I join? Just got a BFP today after 2 years of trying and one MC. Cant really believe it and don't think I'll be able to get excited until 12wk scan. My EDD is 14th Jan & this will be my second (fingers crossed).

Congratulations to everyone else with BFPs.

Hello everyone, congratulations to you all on your BFP's! Is there room for another?

I got a very faint line on an internet cheapie last Friday and confirmed it with a CB digi this morning! EDD is 10th January so I see I have a few due date buddies here already! This is DC1 for DH and I, we're both super excited and nervous in equal measure!

I dont seem to have any symptoms yet, I feel very normal, which i guess I should be thankful for, no doubt morning sickness is just around the corner!

I hope you dont mind me updating the stats list, hopefully I've not missed anyone out!

Thanks for including me in the list Sunny. With my first pregnancy I had no symptoms at all - no sickness, no cravings, nothing. I was very lucky - may be you'll be lucky too!

With this one I felt really crappy and sicky last night (which prompted me to test today) so I might not be so lucky this time round!

Evening all! Welcome crumpet and sunny (and anyone else I've missed) Yay to free prescriptions and free dentistry! Eating every couple of hours is the only way I'm controlling the vommy-ness. Current snacks of choice are salt and vinegar ryvita mini breaks, oat cakes, nakd fruit bars. Trying to keep snacks to less than 100 calories, I know calorie counting while preggo is a little crazy but have been using my fitness pal app for a year or so now and so am in the habit! Have also noticed that my hands and feet are swelling a little... and hoping that doesn't mean they're going to be huuuuuge by the end...

You're welcome crumpet. Fingers crossed I'm as lucky as your 1st pregnancy...watch this space!

Thanks for the welcome MrsA. I've been a big fan of the My Fitness Pal app too!

Hi Ladies,

Welcome to all the new ladies with BFP..

Well 2.38am and I woke up because I need to constantly pee and can't get back to sleep... Great! This will not help the tiredness tomorrow.

Anyway got myself in a bit of a panic. Thinking about reassurance scan on the 18th and worried that they may find something wrong or nothing at all. Trying to resist the temptation to buy a load more prego tests tomorrow. 5+1 today and about a week and a half away from when things started going wrong last time. Roll on week 8 and tgen week 13. Sorry for moaning but got myself a bit upset and worried!

Welcome and big congrats to all the newbies. Hope everyone else is well

i got the elusive 2-3 weeks on the clearblue test! I used to click over at 4+3 for DS but it must be 4+4 for this one (all being well)

PS - I've been up feeding DS. I didn't get up specially to test

PPS - I am mental and the logical part if me knows step awwaaaaaaaay from the tests . However, I know will.....til next Wednesday anyway!

now will not know

Aawwww, pod :(

I'll hold your hand. I know exactly how you feel.

Gob, I daren't try a CB. Might POAS today though, cos yolo (as my DS says :o )

Thanks Toby got really upset. Feeling a bit better this morning.

Gobbo. I am still resisting the temptation to go and buy a load more tests

Morning all.

Pod so sorry about your rough night. I can only imagine how anxious you must be feeling after your past experience. I'm a big believer in the power of positive thought, so am sending lots of positive vibes your way.

I still have 20 or so Internet cheapies left and am so far resisting the urge to poas...my lack of symptoms is making that difficult though.

Right, I'd better get moving so I'm not late for work. I'm really struggling to get myself up now the sun has disappeared!

Hope you all have a lovely day!

gobbo I got the 2-3 weeks on a cb digi this morning as well - hurrah! Partner was a bit confused as to why I was testing again though. I may as well just burn tenners I know, but I don't think that would cheer me up as much!

Backache today. I may also live to regret wearing jeggings burp

Morning! Sorry you had a bad night pea. My two MCs last year were around 6-7 weeks so I know I'll feel better if/when I get past that point but trying not to stress. This morning has been a struggle, is anyone else feeling particularly vommy after showering? I know you're not supposed to have the water too hot, so am turning it down, but afterwards I feel awful and have to sit down for 10 mins. Maybe I should change my routine and have brekky before shower? Hands are definitely swelling too, rings are tight. am hoping I don't feel like this all the way through...
Hope everyone else is doing ok today xxx

Poas is not something I'd usually do knowing I'm already pregnant but u girls are nutters lol. Ur making me wanna do it now haha. Think I'll hold off for now & wait to see if I feel more pregnant next week! X

Pod having a rough night on top of a scary heartstopping moment is horrendous! I feel for you big time! Panic and hopelessness kick in within seconds dont they! So glad it was the stupid toilet paper!!!

Feel for you ladies aiming to get past a certain date. I am going to be paranoid from the 9 week mark, as thats when the nausea lifted for me last time and at the 12 week scan it turned out the reason for the nausea lifting at that point was because thats when the baby stopped growing! Determined not to get an early scan this time, unless I start to feel better again....Wouldnt it be great if we could all just enjoy this time, rather than constantly worry....

MrsAVB having a bath was making me feel better - no idea why. However yesterday it made me feel worse after I got out, but I was feeling particularly bad anyway, so not sure if thats the reason....

morning ladies! Wow some of you were up early! I thought 6.30 was the crack of dawn haha! Been waking up early for the past couple of weeks, wonder if it's related at all?

I found out at the weekend that one of my best friends is also pregnant, a few weeks further along than me, which I'm super excited about!! It's not her first either so it's nice having someone in RL going through it too.

Toby and Choc I am with you on the salty things, I had the biggest craving for chip shop chips last night with loads of salt and vinegar! Didn't get them though, It was late and I don't want to end up a massive fatty!

pod and missmakestuff just realised the toilet paper experience was missmakestuff! So sorry! Can I blame baby brain already? I am sure we will all remember your words of wisdom if we are ever confronted with coloured toilet paper...

#walks off feeling terrible for mixing up messages and wonders if this is a sign of things to come#

Can I join in too -got my BFP this morning, which gives me a 10th Jan baby.

This is my second one, DD is 3.5

Thankfully no morning sickness yet, but felt "off" all last week

Wow loads of Jan 10th babies. Must be something in the water!
I am wishing I had more symptoms as am starting to question if this is all a dream. Have only told my best friend (via txt) but haven't had a reply yet.
Gonna poas on friday morn just to double check even tho the digital one said pg 2-3 weeks so it's not like I can imagine a line (have loads of cheap tests left tho so may as well) and then am gonna tell my parents Friday. Dont want to be too excited as it's so early but I can't help it!

Congratulations MTBMummy!

Thanks - I'm over the moon, have had a couple of false starts since October, so really hoping this one sticks.

Why is that now I know I'm pregnant, I'm suddenly desperate for all the food I'm not allowed.

Have only told my sister and my boss (she's 6months pg) and one of my false starts would have put us within a few weeks of each other, so she knows we've been trying.

Welcome and congratulations, MTB :)

Has anyone not told anyone at all? You lot and a couple of other MNers are the only people who know, for us. We're telling the DC in a couple of weeks, after the private scan. Then we'll tell family and friends after the 12 week scan, if they don't get it out of us before that. I suppose it depends on my symptoms, as to how obvious it will be. My mum swears blind that I was a horrible hormonal bitch when I was pregnant before, and that she and my sisters knew I was pregnant way before I told them.

I'm with you, Sultana, on the 'why can't we just enjoy it' thing. I'm really enjoying the fact that DH is really looking after me, but I feel like I might be a bit of a fraud.

I've told my Mum, because we're off on holiday with her in a couple of weeks time and she'll notice if I'm teetotal!

Also told one colleague at work, just because I'm excited, and figure it will be easier if it doesn't work out to have someone who knew.

Boobs less sore today, despite the poking. Hmmm. So tempted to get a private scan for reassurance before we go on holiday. I'm finding it so difficult this time round.

crumpet and sunny and MTB hello! Congrats!
Pod here's a massive hug for you, please try and relax, I know it's hard, but it will help.
gobbo you are so funny - but I am so getting a CBD next week, so I can get the magic '3+'...

I haven't told anyone except DH yet, oh and you 'orrible lot . Will tell my mum next week - after I've seen GP and taken and hopefully passed my driving test again. I wanted to do it in person, so that's the best time - I get the afternoon to go and see her.

In POAS-news, I am still doing it every morning. DH just sighs. The ICs are doing nicely now, v pink lines (compared to the first ones) but my CBD has switched off/run out of battery. Good thing I took a pic ... Also, the backache has pretty much gone, but I did start to feel a bit pukey this morning. V sore nipples though. Ouch.

Hi ladies, can I join you? Got a ridiculously early BFP last week but didn't want to tempt fate by posting before AF was well and truly late!

I make my EDD the 12th of January and this is baby number one!

I am falling asleep all over the place and my boobs are massive (or rather more massive; they were already Hs... ) and incredibly painful. And I have to agree with whoever it was upthread who said that the ridiculous amounts of discharge really messes with your head...
