December 2014, anyone else yet?

[ImBrian]

So I got a stupidly early faint positive today at 9dpo when I should definitely know better after a chemical last month. According to the Calendar I'm due December 1st so I've decided to be massively optimistic and start this thread. Is there anybody put there?

Heartburn kicking in here to. Went and stocked up on mints. Gaaah

Im 5+2

Chilly it does feel that way but I am trying to cherish every moment as I may not do this again so trying to enjoy the experience as much as I can! I have bought a really sweet pregnancy journal on amazon to record bits and bobs as I have the worlds most terrible memory and thought it would be nice to pass on in the future as a memory :)

Sorry to hear that something :( perhaps try eating quiet plain foods might help?

Anyone else to add? :)

Where's my due date buddy stripey?? How are you?

Is anyone else trying to eat healthier since finding out bfp?? As I currently munch on an apple :) I read in the first trimester it's good to eat lots of spinach and orange fruit/veggies :) so have been having spinach with everything! Haven't managed the orange fruits yet but was thinking a small glass of pure orange juice might work and lots of carrots! I am taking pregnacare max but would still like to try and get lots of vitamins from foods :)

emily I just put in an ocado order for £125. Went a bit mad with healthy fruit veg and gluten free stuff. I try to limit my junk though I'm currently obsessed with jacket potatoes with cheese, bacon and fried onions. But I insist I'm not craving anything. The pregnancy journal is a nice idea. I've seen those 100 year diaries was thinking of getting it to fill out until dc is old enough to do it themselves, then their whole life is in a diary for them to read or pass on to their kids.

I'm going to resist from being added to the list for the moment if that's ok? It's still really early days for me and I'm paranoid

I've just been on NHS website and made a list of what to eat and what not to eat. Going to make a huge effort to cut out crap and eat lots more fruit and veg.

I tend to have cereal and a glass of orange juice every morning, salad, left overs, pasta or a baked potato for lunch and usually stirfry, chilli, fish, curry, etc for dinner. My main issue is snacking. I snack on crisps a lot. Going to dump those in favour of breadsticks, carrot sticks and hummus I think!

Really struggling to concentrate at work today!

Oh I could do a pregnancy journal! That sounds like a lovely idea.

Well done rock stars! I tend to eat a mainly wheat/gluten free diet anyways as oh is allergic although had granary toast with marmite this morning at work! Scrambled eggs or porridge just wasn't going to cut it!! Lol

Sorry I should say intolerant not allergic! Duh!

Chilly this is the one I've bought www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/1907048413/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?ref_=pe_385721_37038051_TE_dp_1
If you can copy and paste as I'm on my iPhone. Have a look at inside - it's so sweet!

I just bought 1 too. I'll get the 100 year diary when it's born!

You are all making me feel bad, I'm sat here eating chocolate digestives! I'm 5 weeks tomorrow and I think morning sickness is kicking in, i can hardly move without thinking I'm going to vom. I don't remember it being so bad with my ds. It's my only symptom though so I can't complain.

I love the idea of a pregnancy journal, will have to look into it.

Can I be added to the list?

chilly don't worry we were exactly the same, eventually the feeling you'll jinx it or something does wear off, though its taken me over a week. After reading a lot on pregnancy I had to realise that any issues that arise (I've had 2 mc's in the past) are a result of something I just can't control. We will always be cautious, but its basically the start of a lifetime of worry, which I'm assured by my mum never ends.
I figured on this board I'm allowed to be crazily optimistic, scared and excited. We are all in the same position. So when you feel ready add to the list.

Ah I always suffer extreme heartburn when pregnant. Type of foods/drink doesnt effect it. My gut just doesnt like being pregnant

Hi chilly!

How is everyone today? I am still feeling really faint. Just gave a lecture and thought I was going to conk out a couple of times but luckily got through it ok. Only one more lecture today phew! Luckily I got the train as well cos would be seriously nervous to drive feeling so faint...

Hi Mopsy!

Quick question: How do I work out how far along I actually am?

Last AF started on 3rd March but my cycles are on average 31 days. BFP was due tomorrow or 4th (depending on if I go by cycle length or last positive OPK). The app on my phone has automatically reverted me back to a 28 day cycle, due date of 8th Dec and says I'm 5 weeks. NHS say due date of 11th (or 12th) and I'm 3 weeks.

Any ideas on how I work this out?

I just use online calculator on NHS or mumsnet! It is only an estimate anyway. Apparently only about 5% of babies come on their due date...

Just had some lovely fish. Get all that omega 3 to the baby. I will be given iron tablets and pregnacare or just one of them on prescription. Eat fruit and veg snack on seeds/fruits/veg and humous drink loads if milk there is nothing else I can do is there? Had some problems with DS2 so doing all I can this time

Well ladies who are suffering with sickness you have cemented in my mind to enjoy as much food a I want till it happens to me as it sounds like it's bound to in a few weeks!
