Hello,
Just set up this wee thread for the nutjob graduates. I am hoping all our lovely thread dwellers will be on here very soon.

We should do some stats. I'll kick off:

Hi MrsBB. Welcome to the nutjobs and congratulations!!!

I'm currently waiting for the midwife to come round for my booking appointment. I'm hoping she'll listen for heartbeat! Can't believe I'm 10 wks tomorrow. Really can't wait for 12wk scan now!!!

Hi all.
Just got my booking in and scan appointment through - 11th June! I'll be 10+2. Most of our family and good friends know already so I hope everything is OK.

Bit of crap news from me - I told my work I was pregnant last week (and found out they were not paying my tax and national insurance so I called them on it) so funnily enough my probation period didn't turn into a perm position. I hated the job anyway but I'm a bit freaked out about having no money! I am going to try and get some temping and apply for maternity allowance as soon as I can. Luckily DH earns ok money so we'll just about survive and I'll find something once the baby is a few months old hopefully. It's just taken the shine off it all at the minute.

But in better news it's DS's birthday weekend (he's 2 on Monday) so we have lots of fun things planned to take our minds off the crap stuff.

Hope everyone is set to have a lovely weekend!

Exciting news winter. Are you in the UK? Seems early for a scan. I'm not sure if ill get mine before 12 weeks coz they only sent the form off yesterday and I'm 10 weeks already! Still at least that's less time between scans.

Sucks about the job though. Fingers crossed you can find something soon. Enjoy the birthday weekend. We've got a fun packed weekend too.

gemmeg · 31/05/2013 19:49

Hi all! Sorry I've not posted for a while. I have been reading and keeping up to date with your posts though. So how is everyone?

winter great news about the scan! Bet you can't wait Smile. Sorry things are crappy with work. It's the last thing you need to worry about when your pg but I hope it'll all work out for you. Enjoy the weekend Smile.

mummy how are you bearing up? Sorry for asking again but when is your next scan?

mrsbb welcome! Hope your morning (!) sickness wears off soon.

2be I can't believe it's been 10 weeks since you posted the news of your BFP!! The time's really flying.

I am now 8+2 and keep getting bouts of utter exhaustion and nausea (which usually means I HAVE to eat something right NOW). Other than that I don't have any other symptoms. Not even sore boobs. I have a drs appointment next Thur when I'll be scanned. Not sure when the next one will be after that though. Here they do a scan between 9-11 wks then btwn 18-22 then another towards the end. It just seems so early to have the first proper scan.

Thanks 2be I'm in N.Ireland and the hospital I am going to do a scan and booking in at 10-12 weeks. By my lmp I should be a week or so further ahead than I am but because I ovulated later and had the early scan I know I'm a week behind.

gemmeg Hello! Yes, can't wait to scan. DH has the day off so my mum is going to mind DS so he can come with me, which will be lovely. Trying to think positively about the work stuff and not let it get me down. Oooh scan next week - you must be pretty excited!

Hi ladies - hope you are all having a lovey weekend!!

Winter - exciting scan news!! Rubbish work news :-( hope you have a lovely time celebrating DS birthday though!

Gemmeg - I am fairly symptom free too although I am feeling über tired in the evenings now, however I have started waking in the night and not being able to get back to sleep for hours (hence me writing this at 4:30am!!)

2be - wow 10 weeks!! Hope the midwife appt went well hun!

We have a super busy weekend - huge party today to celebrate my aunt graduating (my family LOVE a get together and always do it in style) and out for DH birthday dinner tomorrow. We have the re-scan on Friday so I'm hoping the week whizzes by!! I have been a lot more chilled about it than last time so I'm hoping that's a good sign plus no bleeding or cramping (other than the stretching pains) - fingers crossed we see a little heartbeat!! Xx

imme · 02/06/2013 12:24

Hello! Sorry haven't posted in a while. Having a pretty rough day, first time in this pregnancy! Have a throbbing headache and was sick twice. Very reluctant to take any painkillers.
Also got my mw dates and scan dates last week but they are still feeling very far away - 24 June and 10 July. Time always seems to stand still in the first trimester!
Hope you all are feeling better!

Mummytothearkbuilder · 02/06/2013 16:48

Imme - I have a throbbing headache too hun - I had to take some paracetamol just to function - when I spoke to my midwife she said its perfectly safe but still feel guilty :-( im counting down the hours until bed time!! Hope you feel better soon x

Mummytothearkbuilder · 03/06/2013 21:40

Hi ladies

Sad day today - this is where I leave you :-( I had some light (ish) bleeding last night and the EPU scanned me this morning and there has been hardly any growth since the last scan (it has grown 2mm in 10 days and it should grown 1mm per day).

I am just deciding whether to have the surgical option or to wait to pass it naturally but don't know whether I can sit around waiting for it to happen but on the flip side I am nervous about surgery and the recovery period.

I wish you lovelies all the very best for the rest of your pregnancies. Thank you for all your support. We are going to take a break from TTC for a while to recover from this - 2 miscarriages in 4 months has taken its toll emotionally on us.

Big hugs to you all xxx

2beornot · 03/06/2013 22:01

Mummy - I am so so sorry this has happened to you again. I don't have a way with words so I'm just going to send you a (((hug))). Take time to let yourself recover. Best of luck x x x

nomoreminibreaks · 03/06/2013 23:05

Mummy I'm so sorry. I'm gutted for you. Sometimes life is just shit Hmm

Look after yourself and take time to feel better. I really wish things had turned out differently for you.

Oh mummy, I am so, so sorry to hear this terrible news. Life is so unfair sometimes. I hope you and DH get through it all the best you can and little Noah gives you extra hugs and kisses.

Take care of yourself and know that we're all thinking of you xxxx

Mummy I am very sorry to hear! Take care of yourself!

Mummytothearkbuilder · 04/06/2013 09:36

Thank you ladies - you are all so lovely.

I have left a message for the EPU today to arrange the surgical option. I am only on day one of waiting for nature to kick in and the limbo state is awful. I keep expecting it to start like it did last time but there is nothing there - no bleeding or anything - it's like a cruel trick my body is playing.

I have lots of positive things to focus on - we have a little holiday in July, seeing my dad who lives in Madrid in August and Noah starts school in September. I am going to focus on completing the qualification I am doing with work and blitz my body back into shape. It's a different plan to the one I had for the next 9 months but its still an exciting one xxx

nomoreminibreaks · 04/06/2013 18:19

That sounds like a great plan mummy. Lots to keep you busy and hopefully get you into a better place mentally in preparation for TTC again. Wishing you all the best Smile

gemmeg · 04/06/2013 18:52

mummy I am so utterly sorry to hear that news. Just awful for you. I don't blame you for taking some time out to concentrate on yourself and Noah. I wish you all the very best xx

ASmidgeofMidge · 04/06/2013 21:05

So sorry to hear your news mummy. Thinking of you x

mrscookie78 · 05/06/2013 08:15

can I join you ladies in this group now? bfp yesterday, due between 8-20th feb Smile

nomoreminibreaks · 05/06/2013 18:49

Welcome cookie and congratulations!! How have you been feeling so far?

I'm 9+4 and feeling awful. Laid in bed at the moment while DH looks after DS. He's being amazing at the moment. I really owe him!

mrscookie78 · 06/06/2013 07:23

Thank you, yes ok so far. Bit of backache, starving so I eat then I feel sick Smile
oh no, hope you feel better soon Smile

2beornot · 06/06/2013 21:26

Just got my scan date through - next Friday!! I'm excited and nervous in equal measures! Excited because I'll get to see my baby, hear the heartbeat. Nervous because )like before) I've had so few symptoms I'm worried they'll be nothing there!

nomoreminibreaks · 07/06/2013 08:40

Eeek 2be! Very exciting. I'm still waiting for my scan date and am eager to get it done. I had one at 9 weeks last time so am quite impatient! Hope it goes well Smile

gemmeg · 07/06/2013 12:45

That's exciting news 2be! I hope it goes by quickly for you Smile. I had another internal scan yesterday and all is well. My thyroid wasn't quite so well so I've got stronger tablets and I'm hoping I'll feel a bit less tired now Hmm. Anyone else's belly growing already? I'm 9+1 and def have a little bump.

nomoreminibreaks · 07/06/2013 13:23

I have a little bump now too, plus I've already had to dig out my maternity jeans as I can't stand anything with a waistband. I don't know if people can tell though, as I had a bit of a paunch before losing all that weight, they probably think I just fell off the wagon! Can't sleep on my front anymore either. I miss it so much already!

2beornot · 07/06/2013 13:46

Unfortunately DH couldn't make that date so I've had to put it back to Tues 18th Angry.

Hope you get your date soon nomore. Nice to have it to look forward to.

gemmeg glad your scan went well. And hopefully the new tablets will give you a little more energy!! I've noticed my clothes are a bit tighter, but I've got a fair bit of padding, so bump won't be noticeable for a bit!!
