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!

Oh and Figgy, having headaches here too. Felt really queasy for weeks too, which I didn't have at all with DC1. And definitely busting out of trousers already. Bring out the fat wardrobe... Fortunately for me, I'm a bit of a tunics and leggings kind of girl, so should hopefully be able to hide it with some careful dressing at work!

Good luck all x

Welcome, suedehead, wardy and Boho and anyone else I missed.

Reading this thread makes me so grateful for the fact that I'm a housewife (I can't say SAHM because I don't do anything! My DC are 12 and 13 :o ) and don't have to worry about work clothes or feeling sick at work. I really sympathise with those of you at work. I've been there and it's awful :(

Figgy - sorry to hear about your last week. Glad you are feeling better..

Suede - nice to see you again. We were both on the thread which now has 5 BFP since Sunday..[Grin]

Hey MrsAVB - I'm doing ok thanks, went to see GP instead fertility dr yesterday. GP was lovely and reassured me that my progestron levels being so low over recent months wasn't a reason to worry. Told me he understood we might feel a bit more anxious given the last few months and that the he would be here to reassure us. Shame the receptionist was less nice, (refused to give me a pack because I was too early).

Data - i'm so sorry to hear of the heartbreak you and your family went through earlier in the year.

Winter-glad to hear that the spotting has stopped, must have been so so scary.

Hello and welcome to all newbies :-)

Another one here grateful of not having to go to work whilst suffering. I can remember what it was like with my first. I am a little bit concerned as to how I'm going to get myself and two DCs out of the house for school each morning when the morning sickness kicks in. With DC2 I didn't have to go anywhere as DC1 was only 2 years old. It will be interesting I'm sure!

What's everyone up to over the long weekend? We are seeing quite a few different friends and family over the next few days. Looking forward to having a busy mind so I can stop obsessing so much!

Welcome to all newbies and congratulations.

Glad to hear all is well for you winter

Oh, school runs must be hard, too. I don't even have to do them. I am such a lazy cow.

Glad your GP was nice, cosmic :)

This weekend is a busy one for us, too. DS has a rugby tournament an hour or so's drive away, Saturday AND Sunday :(

It's DD's birthday today and she's not best pleased about the weekend being taken up by rugby, so on Monday we're all going to the Harry Potter studio tour as her birthday treat. I'm more excited than the children!

I do the school runs & struggle to get there on time & remember everything now lol. God knows what I'll be like if I get sick!! My sickness started around 6 weeks last time. Am going back 6 years though so feels like forever ago. Hope its not as bad as last time as was signed off work for 2 weeks & had to tell everyone earlier than we planned. Have booked my docs appointment for this time next week. Exciting stuff :) x

I can't wear leggings at work :( I'm seriously uncomfortable today, it's giving me a pain already! Can't wait to go and get some trousers in a size bigger tomorrow! I think I'll have to buy some more baggy tops too. I feel like its so obvious already!

For the first time. I am sat at work and feel really tired. Sat here constantly yawning. Thank god its Friday.

Ladies at home, I am sooooo jealous!!!

Hi there. I got a positive pregnancy test on monday. Quite a shock, as I thought I might have been going through early menopause. This will be my 5th child, another reason to be , erm, 'surprised'! Have dd 12, ds8 and twin dds 6.
Worked out I'll be due end of dec. That will be 4 dec babies for me. omg I just realised the financial implications of this!!

I spend mornings at home but work afternoons at after school club at primary school. My mornings are pretty busy though. Cleaning, paperwork etc & I also do avon, have had no motivation to do it this week thoughh, have been feeling v tired x

I've forgotten, but is it normal to feel this tired ie extremely?! I must only be 5 wks but I felt comatose this afternoon.
Typical I've taken on lots of bits of work for the next 3 months, including starting a radio show. Already feeling tired by the thought of it all and the inevitable sickness hasn't even started yet!

Congratulations Tamof4 (or should that be 5?) and all others who have just for their BFPs!

Huge empathy with all the tiredness and sickness. I'm not actually being sick but the nausea is horrible. None of this with DD. I am so tired I could curl up and sleep through the long weekend! I felt so bad this morning that I ended up wearing my 'baby on board' badge for the tube. I asked for a seat when I got and got a lot of looks hitch made me feel a bit of a fraud

Hitch should say which. So very tired...

I'm in my pajamas and got into them when I got DS ready for bed at 6.30! so I can relate to the tiredness OK. I also have had quite a bit of heartburn - has anyone else? I did google this and found that it could be an early sign of twins. OMG I don't know what we'd do if it was!

Doc has booked me in for scan at epau on Friday 17th so hopefully we'll be able to see the wee baby if he's a sticky one. I'm still feeling positive that this time in 8ish months we'll have our DC2! Thanks for all the good wishes you've sent.

Any nice weekend plans? We're off to a few outdoor events and taking DS swimming for the 1st time, which I am sure he will love, so plenty to distract me.

Hope you all have a good one!

Also, yy to wind, bloatyness (maybe I just got fat on holiday ) and uncontrollable rage at chopping boards which would NOT stand UP on end as they WERE MEANT TO. DH had to come and make me sit down and stop worrying about them.
Haven't done anything else yet, except stopped smoking possibly three or four weeks late but hum ho and bought decaff teabags. That's the important things covered, right?

Good evening ladies..

Congratulations to all new BFP.. Exciting stuff. And for all the ladies on this train, I hope you are all keeping/feeling well and not suffering too much with symptoms.

Could I ask you all for some advice/tips.. How are you planning on avoiding alcohol without giving away th fact you are pregnant? Really nervous about this. Had lunch with a colleague today and I could see she was a bit that I wasn't having a glass or two/three. Made up a random but in my opinion feeble excuse. My birthday on Tuesday and seeing a number of friends/family over the weekend and hoping you can help with an alcholo avoidance plan PLEASE....

I'm afraid I found it nigh on impossible to hide the fact I wasn't drinking with DD1 - everyone knew, but nobody said anything. The way I see it is people might speculate and then if everything is well they can feel clever when they hear the fabulous news, or heaven forbid the worst happens they won't remember that one party when you were on th OJ.

And in case I forget on Tuesday HAPPY BIRTHDAY LittlePeaPod

Hurray am in bed!! Got a busy weekend ahead so lots to keep me distracted! I noticed with the other 'due in months' they have a stats thread just dedicated to the list of ladies. Shall we do this too? Just use this one for chat?
God am soo tired, not even 5 weeks yet! These are gonna be the longest 2 months of my life! Roll on being 12 weeks x

littlepea I know what u mean. Its our good friends birthday weekend & we got loads planned including a night of drinking 2moro. I suffer with migraines so am gonna tell a little porky! Say I've been suffering in the day & I don't wanna drink as had my strong tablets. That will work for me as they know I get them a lot. I'm gonna have more trouble hiding my bloated belly from the girls at work x

I drive and DH doesn't, so people are used to me not drinking at social occasions.

Occasionally I use the antibiotics excuse.

Thanks Yoni.

I am sure all of them will work it out so may follow your path Choco and pull a sicky. I fear I may be coming down with some sort of tummy bug... Do you think that would work or is that a lame excuse? This is going to be hard... The whole alcohol thing has only just dawned on me today.

Choco the bloated tummy, that must be a nightmare. What about some floaty tops? First timer so not very good at this sort of advice, sorry. I have loads of stinky wind.. Soooo embarrassing!
