Catilla - Hi and welcome

I've got more paranoid with each pregnancy too. For my first I was gung ho, for the second, a little nervous and for this one I've been a hormonal wreck.

Have you told your family yet?

Welcome Catilla - Hooray - you are due the same day as me

Also have a DS2 of nearly 26 months (born 30th July 06)

Hope you enjoy it here - we're a nice bunch !

Doh - I meant 2004 !

Hi all, also had a scan at St Thomas' today so finally feeling like I can start telling people in RL

Do we have the biggest ante natal club ever or what?! There must yhave been something in the water!

Hello to those who have just joined us.

Great news Dolly you must be mighty relieved all is ok with the beanie.

You know it might be, There are already rumours of a baby boom year, Plus have you counted the number of Pregnant woman on TV or in street?
Or am I completly obsessed?

I need crisps to think about it...

great news dollyp and theblonde - I can't believe there were 3 of you from this thread at the same place today. You could start a mumsnet meetup there.

welcome catilla

my back is killing me, has been for last 2 days, I plan a long bath tonight. And my boobs are too big for primark size 18 so as I am primark size 16 bottom(and they seem to err on the large side size wide) and 20 on top you can imagine I look like I am about to topple over!

Hi all

Still feeling sick and now being sick every evening about 6pm.

Shattered and uncomfortable - booking with the midwife tomorrow.

8+4

lol moroco,i saw somebody i knew a week after giving birth to dd2,and she said'blimey,ur getting big now' i was pushing the baby in the pram at the time!!
hope everyone is ok
annaspanna,ur doing better than me,i had 2 fags in the end yesterday.havent had 1 today but im going to or i'll end up killing dp and giving birth in prison...
that made me laugh about the stair gates and school jumper,i never iron anything atall,especially school jumpers cos they go all horrible.i must be a terrible mother!
i am very jealous of every1 talking about primark,we dont have one where i live.or a mothercare,and nowhere atall sells maternity clothes apart from the next clearance store.
not fair

kitty-this was my first planned pg and i actually wanted to give birth in march so i wouldnt have to go through summer heavily pregnant and so the baby wouldnt be born in bronchiolitis season(severe chest infection that affects babies,between november and march each yr).
saying that,there couldve been something in the water as i had my IUD removed and conceived 2 weeks later

sorry about that it was something to do with the net going weird that posted itself again?!

I was forced into telling my mum about this preg yesterday. It's a bit of a long story.

When I knew my granny was dying at the end of last week I ended up telling my Dad as it was his mother and I wanted her to know before she went. My parents divorced a few centuries ago but my dad's family are still very fond of my mum as he lost contact with his family after he left me and my mum when I was three.
Anyway... are you still awake? Ok. so it spread round my dad's side of the family like wildfire, they are all close, there are alot of them and they like to gossip. So, when my gran died I knew I was going to have to tell my mum that she'd died and that I was preg because I didn't want her phoning them up and then hearing it from them first. Are you still with me?!
Infact I bottled it and asked DP to do it as I couldn't cope with her reaction whilst dealing with my grief.
Dp did the deed but suggested I phone her later, which I did. There was a short commiseration about my gran and then she laid into me about the baby. Why did I want this baby, I didn't have to have it, what was I doing this for as it affected other poeple as well, i.e. her.
I felt about 15, as if I had got banged up behind the bike sheds. I told her a termination had always been out of the quesiton ( been there done that, never again).
She said she should be happy but was worried how I would cope as I'd been so unhappy lately, balh,blah, you fill in the rest.
I felt so angry about it today. I knew this was going to happen. Really it's about how she will be affected.
Sorry for going on, needed to get it off my still very insubstantial chest. How I envy you ladies with big boobs. Mine have had all the life sucked out of them .

Thanks for the welcome all...
I really can't believe there were 3 of us at St Thomas's today. Mumsnet really must be taking over the world. Actually Mumsnet and Kiddicare are the two recommendations I give to everyone I meet who's pregnant

Laidback - my ds was born 30th June 04 so exactly a month before yours. (At St Thomas's of course!)

Fatfox, we've been on the phone most of the evening telling family. All rather fun although a bit odd because we've known ourselves for so long. It's quite funny hearing them going through the thoughts about timings etc, like "what will you wear at your sister's wedding" and "how many weeks after x will your baby be born". Of course I've thought all those things through myself - but you can nearly hear the brains whirring!

Did anyone else get the male sonographer? That was a bit unexpected but fine of course
I was a bit annoyed as neither he nor the receptionist told us that we could pay for extra pics so we missed out on that

ur mum sounds like mine kittywits,i always feel 14 again when i talk to her.i had to tell her about this baby when i was 9 weeks gone cos ds and dd1 were going to stay with her for a week and dd1(7 yr old,gob almighty)was threatening to tell her nan i had a baby in my tummy!my mother said 'u must be mad' and 'i hope he(dp) sticks around cos u wont be able to cope with 5 on ur own'.the only thing she didnt say was about not keeping it as she is strict catholic....which means i should never have had sex inthe first place as im not married
arent mothers great...
u can have my boobs if u want,they r hurting my back.im going to start stuffing them into my jeans pockets soon...or my socks.
its strange three ppl off here going to the same hospital today...there was defo something in the water there!

this is why people get addicted to mumsnet! been gone a few days and missed loads of bizz. just spent half an hour reading it all. emotional rollercoaster too.
My good friend/ first husbands mum just died surrounded by loving family and I thought thats how I want to go. But it is so sad when people die.

I am addicted to salt and vinegar crisps what is it with crisps?

Can't wait to have full bump so I don't just look generally fat!

Hi there
Can I join you all. Here are my stats:
Me: 35
DP: 40
DD: 3.6
EDD: 30th March

So I'm 10+4 and feeling OKish. A bit nauseous, but I'm fearing I may be heading for spd as I feel really sore down there. I didn't have it last time and am none too thrilled.

But aprt from that all is fine. Midwife appt next Monday and they'll give me a scan date.

Looking forward to chatting with you all.

Big Fat Bump Hi and welcome

If there's a baby boom, that'll mean its more difficult to get a school place

DS was born in 2000 and it was hard getting him into the school of our choice, although people the year before and after had no probs.

Kitty/Diva - why are your Mum's being so horrible to you? It really annoys me. I got a hard time because this is our 3rdand I'm 65! People are sooo insensitive

kittywits my sisters and I have a card we pass to each other at various times which says 'she came, she criticised, she left' Our poor mother can't help herself and often doesn't even realise how hurtfull she can be. And its so hard not to be put down by it even as sensible adults! And we must strive not to do it to our own children!

Hi all,

Kittywits, I say one day when you feel brave enough is to let mum know how you feel - easier said than done I know, but I had enough of my mum critising me (being the only child and all) when I knew sometimes it was tough love... other times it just felt like someone picking away... I squared up one day and had a real heart to heart. I kept it to the specifics and tried to not get to personal about it all. Done us the wonder of good. We are even close now... it could of gone either way but I figured I had nothing to lose.... good luck

All - have found MIRACLE CURE for MS.... seriously, Ginger Tablets from Holland and Barrett, my midwife suggested, I was on my knees, green faced and desperate, I bought and frankly whilst the MS has not gone away completely it has definately made if more livable..... worth a go..

Hope all is well with you all, bye for now, this is clandestine message boarding for me in lunch hour... no doubt my IT department are monitoring every second I am always in trouble with them

hello big fat bump.
fatfox,my mum thinks she is being caring when shes horrible to me.i just hope im not like it to my daughters.

Rosylily

I really like your card idea

I spend most of my life trying not to turn into my mother

I only talk to my mother a few times a year - it's better that way. But yes, I also fear turning into her, and will strive the rest of life not to..

Good to see someone else on board who's due at the arse end of March, I don't like being so far behind everyone else

Got my booking in appointment at the Portland next thursday - hoorah . It makes me feel like a celebrity - lol!

I cannot find worcester sauce flavoured crisps anywhere . Am going to resort to an online search. I did have to get a milky bar today though, so thanks to whoever suggested that.
