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!

lol that would be 6 year old not 76 year old i'll blame my preg hormones on that mistake

Thanks for updates re scans ladies it's only been 16mo since I had DS but bleurgh I don't like showing off the bits.

Hope everyone is doing well.

extra yes I have been suffering with this, and if its not this its constipation - all in the same day! ......and the wind..... I am a really pleasant person to be around at the mo!

Sore boobs have all but disappeared today, bit concerned about this. Has anyone else experiences this?

sad - my boob soreness seems too be coming and going. Constantly knackered but not sure how much that is due to 5 month old DS. Am trying not to worry too much - but it's hard

I would expect the 7 week scan not to require the foofcam but due to extreme wobbly tummyness ATM, I am slightly worried.

Oh - one thing I am going to try and do is get as much done in the house and with DS pre 7 weeks as that was when morning all day sickness really kicked in the last time

sadpander my boobs are still tender if pressed/in tight bra, but otherwise, also much less sore than they were. I also keep getting a weird 'burrowing' feeling, not really a cramp, but a sort of ache (gentle) in my lower belly. It can't be implantation, but it sure feels like it!

Hi sadPander my boobs are not as sore as they were earlier in the week. Am only 4+6 feels like I've got forever to go!! We told our close group of friends last night. That wasn't the plan but OH got a bit tipsy lol. Saves me lying to them about why I'm not drinking!
I'mm wondering if they'll scan me early. DD is 5 but b4 her I had 2 m/c's. One at 13 weeks then one at 7 weeks. They scanned me lots thru pregnancy with DD but do you think they will now coz it was so long ago & now I've had a healthy pregnancy? X

I still have no boob changes or pain of any sort proper pissed off as last time was same put on 3 stone (fat pregnant biffer alert) and they didn't change one jot if I can't get away from my puny 36a bras when I'm pg I never will. I blame lack of boob changes for the disaster that was BFing last time and expecting it will be same this time. Stupid boobs!!

I have no symptoms what so ever if it wasn't for lack of period and 2 BFPs I'd be thinking I'm not pg at least last time I felt lightheaded and "had" to eat every 20 minutes

Hello, please can I join in? I got my BFP this morning, and am 4+1, due date currently 11th January. OH said "well done" and then immediately talked about how stripey he has managed to get the lawn . This will be my first child. I had a chemical pregnancy at 5 weeks in October, so I am on constant gusset watch today. We've been ttc for 17 months now, so fingers crossed this one sticks as I'm getting on a bit! I am also having to eat every half hour or so because I feel a bit sick. I'm definitely thinking about an early scan as well.

Thanks gingy! Not many symptoms as yet - apart from tiredness and tingly boobs! I'm switching between being constipated and then the other way too (tmi prob!). I've been feeling a bit dizzy too, on and off. Oh, and the crazy, crazy dreams have started!

I've had no more spotting, just a few twinges (and therefore copius knickerchecking) so am optimistic at the minute, and dare I say it, even starting to get a bit excited!

We had a quiet weekend as DS has been too poorly to go anywhere so the Bank Holiday has been a bit of a write-off. Hope you ladies all had fun though?

Hi All. Can I just ask if anyone else's skin is suffering? I seem to be experiencing a very unwelcome return to teenage acne that I haven't seen since, well, my teenage years. Not amused!

I am also finding the alcohol issue a bit difficult. Have so far gone with the 'I'm driving' option, which is what I did last time but it did involve having to drive absolutely everywhere! Not sure my parents are going to buy it though, or close friends, and it's just far too early to mention anything... Annoyingly, I actually feel like drinking this time, which I didn't the last 2 times, so it's going to be a very long 9 months!!! X

Yes! I never, ever get spots and now I have several on my face!

Can't help with the alcohol thing as we rarely go out anyway these days so it doesn't make a difference. If I have a family event coming up then that will be hard to hide but I drive most of the time anyway so it should be fine. I do fancy a big glass of wine right now though so feel your pain..8 months to go!

Hi all, can I join? Working from the first day if my last period I'm 5 weeks 2 days today. First pregnancy and it happened really quickly, 2nd month of trying. I have no idea what happens next, or whether the symptoms I'm experiencing are all in my head! I thought it would be too early to feel anything!

Right - I still haven't lost all of my baby weight since DS. I'm now 2.5 stones heavier than when I got married

I cannot put on further large amounts of lard with this DC. I'm going to cut back massively in cake etc as I have been stuffing my face thinking that it's OK as DS is only 5 months so loads of time to diet. Obviously that's not the case now so going to do my best to eat healthily and try and get more weight off now or I'll need a bloody hoist to get into the birthing pool!

Would anyone like to join me as a diet buddy? I found weeks 7 - 14 last time hellish fir morning sickness and the only way I could deal with it was to mainline carbs. I'm going to try my best this time not to succumb but will be on the healthy bandwagon as much as poss. Hoping that because I'm on mat leave at the mo, it will make things a bit easier

I'll join you Gobbolino!
I gained 2.5st with DS just by being silly and eating far too much because I could. Just got about half of it off.

Not "dieting" any more now for obvious reasons, but determined to be healthier this time as actually I think it made being pregnant a lot harder!

Hi Slug! Congratulations!! Have you seen your GP? That's first step

And BookTart!! Congrats to you too.
Your DH sounds like mine I think it's a shock thing!?

Gobbolino and Extra, I am with you ladies! Need to make sure I don't pile on the pounds as have 2 stone to lose as it is.... Managed to be really healthy until today when nausea from hell kicked in! Am determined not to let it beat me tomorrow! Grrrr!

Gobbolino, Extra and Sultanjo I'll join you too - I am determined to not put on excess weight - I'm already the fattest I've ever been, and I don't need more, frankly!
I'm already picking veggie options, and having way more veg & way fewer carbs than I usually do so I think it's doable. Plus, although i've only known for three days, I haven't minded no or or whispers fags - not missed any of them really. We can do it!

Hello to booktart and slug!

clapham and winter - time for a facial? Spend some of the ££ you'll be saving on ?

ibe trying to eat healthily too. Am quite a fussy eater & am rly trying to eat what's best for the baby already :) got some pregnancy multivitamins too. Luckily I lost a stone in the last few months but still no where near the weight I used to be. When I had dd who is now 5 my pre pregnancy weight was 9 stone!! I'm now 11. Gotta give up my weekly zumba class which I love, god knows what excuse I'll say to the girls I go with x

How does everyone calculate how many weeks they are? I've been going with first day of last period, so that being 31/03/13 I make me 5 weeks today. The Internet tools are only saying 4 weeks even though they ask for first day of last period. Am I missing something?

wardy the first day of my last period was 6th April, and the Internet tells me I am 4+2, so you must be 5 surely?

extracrunchy I don't think it is a shock thing in my case, more a being an insensitive berk thing :)

Firstly congratulations to all new BFPs.

clap I have spots and my skin gets really itchy sometimes. Never crossed my mind it could be pregnancy related.

Heathy Eating. Please can I join? Really worried I will pile on more weight than is needed. Plus I intend on getting back to the gym FX once all confirmed all at 12 weeks. Don't want to risk it as continued exercising last time not that, that would have made a difference to mc.

Wardy17. If you have an IPhone or IPad you can download the Sprout Pregnancy App. It works it out for you and gives you up dates of the growing baby and what's happening etc. if your first day of your last period was 31/03/13 I also think you should be 5+1 but I could be wrong been a first timer. My first day was 02/04/13 and I am 4+6 today.

I think my boobs may be starting to tingle a bit now. But it could all be in my head.

Does anyone know of a good book, or source that is clear on what we can and can't eat safely in pregnancy? I am starting to tie myself in knots!

wardy I'm working it out the same as you. My first day of last period was 1/4/13 so that makes me 5 weeks 2day & u 5+1 weeks 2day.use the calculator on NHS website that seems accurate x

Hmmm...despite my earlier post about NOT testing with the clear blue digital conception tests, I've just done another one and am panicking myself as it is still saying 1-2 weeks (I.e 3-4 weeks preggo) and I think I am 4+2 so it should be saying 2-3 weeks. Aaaarrgghh. Must not do this. Trying to tell myself that what will be will be. I wish you could get an NHS scan on demand
