Get well soon Jaykay, that sounds pretty awful.

Blue and JayKay hope you both have a better day today.

I'm feeling sorry for myself as I was really excited about having time off over xmas and being able to tell my friends but everyone is too busy for me so I haven't seen any of them to tell them - silly I know but now I feel like I can't be bothered to tell them.

Hi everyone, Ive been mostly lurking over xmas as was finding it hard to cope with all the family stuff etc while feeling so pukey.

Good to hear about all the scans looking good and tea and sympathy for all those suffering at the moment - I hope you feel better soon!

We have already told family and close friends and I see there have been some reveals over xmas but I was just wondering how closely guarded a secret does your pregnancy remain from the rest of the world? I'm thinking of aquaintances/work colleagues etc? My boss has known since day 1 pretty much as I work with hazardous substances and I told one of my friends from my office as I was working from home a lot and then was off sick and she was asking about me. I managed to make it to the hairdressers the other day and puked everywhere so I had to tell the girls there who were very sympathetic fortunately!

I've had my scan but still feel a bit weird telling people to be honest. Im not superstitious really - its more to do with (maybe?) still not feeling like its really real/that I could be having a baby (I don't feel grown up enough in my head!).

However I'm back at work soon and I'm probably going to have to tell the rest of my colleagues (mainly so I can sit with an emergency basin under my desk). Not really sure how to bring it up to be honest as I have developed a small, hard 'bump in training' at the bottom of my belly but just look fatter than usual in my clothes - will maybe just puke first then explain

I'm getting a bit resigned to the fact that the sickness isn't improving so it'll feel like a miracle if it actually does at some point!

Auntie I was feeling a bit like this - hadnt seen anyone except family because I was too sick to go out over xmas etc. Was feeling sorry for myself so I just told my friends that I was feeling a bit lonely. Most of them had assumed because DH was ill too (its a chronic thing with him) that we just wouldn't have been up to entertaining.
TBF the ones with children called more etc than the ones without as they understood better but I had to actually explain in the nicest possible way to some of my best friends that I didn't have a bug that was going to get better soon - that I may quite possibly feel this ill the whole time and then have a newborn/sleep deprivation after that so if they wanted to see me (and they had complained as such) that the dynamic of our relationship (basically my ability to run round after everyone) would need to change. That sounds harsh but I'm always the one doing the running usually so I expected very little from them (I know they are all busy too etc and I don't get the monopoly on that because Im pregnant) to avoid disappointment. Felt better with it off my chest though and they surprised me and really stepped up in the end and visited more. Can you tell anyone how you are feeling a bit out of the loop maybe? People are just a bit busy at xmas with partying/family things and tend to forget about you a bit if you aren't around/out partying with them I find. Perhaps they just need a gentle reminder

The first people we told properly (H&S doesn't count!) were my inlaws and their reaction was so lovely and amazing that it really made me want to tell everone else.

I don't think any of us feel like we can be having babies - that feeling like you're not a grown up doesn't ever go away.

With regards to telling others: I've created a seekrit group on facebook with all my family in and that was our announcement to my extended family. We've told our closest friends and DH will be making an announcement of his own soon. Other than that, we probably won't talk about it much.

I am now mainly waiting for that moment when I look proper pregnant as opposed to just fat and bloated. MS has all but gone although I've found if I'm feeling icky a massive burp will sort me out! Lovely.

Oh and yesterday's dinner was a very healthy(!), whole, baked camembert. Which turned out to be made from pasteurised milk anyway but it was soo gooey and nom, I felt inordinately pleased with myself. As I said before, keep your pates and rare meat, and give me cheese!

Welcome to all the new ladies - don't be shy x

Ismarah I have a whole camembert in my fridge awaiting the same fate - NY day treat. I would KILL for pate though. I got a gorgeous bottle of cucumber vodka for Christmas which I think will be amazing over ice in the summer. Post-preg I am going to have a cucumber V&T and a mountain of pate and toast. Can't wait

Auntie and Ipsum - on telling people: close friends who will be thrilled are getting a proper 'we have news!' announcement in person (or by phone if we won't see them). It's the less close friends which is a bit weird. Am meeting a group of ex-colleagues in a few weeks time for drinks and don't know if I can be bothered want to tell them unless I'm asked why I'm not drinking.

Hi all! Had my NHS scan this morning (am now 13+3), but had paid for a pre-Xmas private one too when I was just past 12 weeks, so now have LOADS of photos of our little bean! Declined Nuchal testing etc, so it was just for dating purposes.

My sickness is definitely getting worse though- grrrr! Have thrown up three times so far today an anything I eat just comes straight back!

Happy new year to all!

Grr. Definitely got the preggo rage today. DH in a grump as he's tired and has a cold, rather than ignore it I confronted him. He's now gone back to bed for a nap. Hopefully he'll wake in a better mood. Given I am feeling sick/tired and general rough I have little sympathy for him.
Off to a friends tonight for food and drink - plan to tell them and hopefully it will be lovely.

Blue there is 22 months between my eldest 2 and we had a lot of TV days when I was pregnant with DS2 . DS1 was very active as a toddler and I used to put on a DVD with lots of singing and dancing on it so he would do all the dances and I would lie on the sofa and join in with the singing.

re booking in appointment it's my fault that it's been delayed. The midwife only does them on Fridays and DS4 had a hospital appointment the Friday before Christmas, DS1 was ill the Friday before that and DS2 was ill the Friday before that. I didn't want the appointment in the Christmas holidays because DS1 will know I'm pregnant if I take him with me. Need to phone the midwife this week to book an appointment for next Friday.

re private scans Not had an early private scan but I had a lovely 4d scan with DS4 when I was 28 weeks. Really lovely and I got 10 photos too.

A much better day here thanks. DH had a positive trip to docs which ruled out re-emergence if asthma and was generally encouraging so whilst he doesn't feel physically any better he is at least more chirpy. I managed to pop out with DS this morning and he's now happily entertained with DH sorting some stuff out in the garage.

Maggie sorry to hear you've been feeling down-Christmas can be an odd time especially if you're not feeling 100% well and able to buzz about the place.

Anyone heard from zing lately? She and blueberry are my scan buddies for Friday! 3 more sleeps :)

Ahh typical - I really thought MS had gone away but now, an hour before going out for giant NYE feast I'm hanging over the toilet. Hopefully it will pass. Food normally helps so maybe I'll feel less green when I start stuffing my face.

Anyway, I'm off to throw up glam up. So an early HNY to all and wishing all the July ladies a healthy happy year ahead. Hoping it is memorable for all the very best reasons xx

Am I the okay one planning on an early night? Think I'll go to bed in the next half journal or so! How antisocial!

*only one

Just popping on to say Happy New Year everyone!!!

Happy New Year! I hope 2014 is a healthy and happy year for you all

Happy New Year everone x

Soon as midnight hit and I thought to myself 'bean will be born later this year' I started freaking out. My inner biatch is now screaming 'what have you done?!' So helpful, that voice.

Happy new year! It's still 2013 for me and I think it's very unlikely I'll stay awake until midnight after a rough night with the toddler. How times have changed...

jaykay I only made it to 10.30 and was then rudely awoken at midnight by some incredibly loud fireworks nearby! Hope you're feeling a bit better?

Wishing everyone all the very best for 2014 :)

Happy new year ladies :)

I made to about 10pm the party animal I am at the moment.

Ipsumlorem Thank you. I feel a bit socially awkward especially making arrangements with people which I don't think people realise even friends that have known me a long time because I'm quite laid back they don't realise that I'm holding back because I'm insecure iyswim. Anyway, I called a couple of friends and said can I pop in and they said yes so I've told a chunk of friends now.

Happy New Year ladies, here's hoping for the most incredible year for us with gorgeous summer babies.

Having not made it past 10pm for three months somehow I managed to get to 1.30am last night - and enjoyed my half glass of Moët very much!

Happy New Year lovelies!

seeing MW tomorrow, scan on Friday - I'm excited and a bit worried.
just can't wait

Happy New Year everyone!!! I'm really scared now...this is the year I will be responsible for a baby?!

Had a good night with some friends and enjoyed a little glass of champagne too MrsA

hope you are feeling better jaykay...I've still got my cold/rhinitis. I know how difficult it is to sleep semi upright. I'm sure the antibiotics will kick in soon though

Happy new year all !! I had my NHS scan yesterday and all was well got to hear the heartbeat was truly amazing dp was completely overwhelmed bless him . Such a relief to finally see him/her there on the screen moving around . They put me at 12+2 so my due date is now July 13th if anyone is list changing today I would be grateful if not I will do it later.

Flippin' Nora we're having babies this year!!!

I need some advice about exercise... I was carrying on with zumba but I sprained my ankle at the start of Dec so when I go back I wouldn't have done it for a month. The advice I had was it was ok to continue as my body was used to it but I'm not sure now after a break...
