Due in December? Welcome to the never-ending 1st trimester of the Xmas baby club.
The stats page can be found here XmasBabyClub

Cheesecake I went for a scan when I was 8 weeks but she dated me 3 days behind that so 7+4 and it was amazing so glad I did it, really put my mind at ease for now!

I've put on 4lbs. How is that possible!? I haven't been eating and what I do eat I throw back up!

Going to make appointment in the morning to see doc. Tight cramps across my tummy today. Couple of intakes of breath at work. Hubby and I stupidly tried to dtd what idiots are we!

I can beat you in the boob stakes. From from G to J. I keep knocking them though. Paaaaiiiiin

Morning all! Isnt it grand to wake up as tired as you went to bed? Today my main aims are

1. To make it through work alive
2. Need to inventory a kitchen whilst breakfast service is happening. Aim to do it quickly so the smell of eggs doeant make me chuck.
3. To protect my aching boobs from accidental knockage. Considering wearing some pudding basins over them for protection.
4. To make it through work alive.
5. To have a poo.

I have made my lunch and have an array of tasty healthy snacks including yogurt with toasted seeds, a banana, wholewheat crackers, cucumber sticks etc. Luckily I seem to have gone off sugar and chocolate!

What have you all got planned?

I'm not on any MH treatment at the mo. These days I self monitor and DP keeps an eye on me. Feel pretty stable moodwise (except for the normal pregnancy swings "bastard went to the shop and didnt psychically know that I was craving english muffins") but am aware that this could change.

Do feel better after scan. Althouhh there isnt much to see I asked.for a photo anyway so I can keep reminding myself this ia really real.

PeaceLove. Well done on the discharge. Thats really good work!

WhatsOne - Midwife says anything, tell her to sod off and blame it on the hormones!

DrewsWife- Best of luck. Hope its nothing to worry about.xx

Morning. 6 weeks today and another bout of sickness this morning. Feel a bit better now but was cursing as I was hugging the toilet! Really hoping it doesn't last long, dreading flying in a couple of weeks as my flight to London is first thing in morning then 12 hour flight gets in about 3am UK time, so probably just in time for feeling sick again!

Having an impromptu overnight stay at my parents on Friday so also hoping Saturday morning is kind to me otherwise I'll need to fess up (wasnt planning to yet and wasn't expecting to see them so thought it would be easy to hide!).

Oh and I doubt if I'll ever be in work before 9am again!

I want glow. Not green gills. I demand glow now! vom

Docs appointment at 10am. Have not yet saw any doc or midwife so this should be interesting ;)

TMI ALERT: For those suffering with constipation (I was, then wasn't, then was, then wasn't again) I defo recommend juicing carrots apples oranges and a lemon. Had it just over an hour ago. Defo empty now! Relief I didn't know I needed!

Hi Somerset I started getting some spots on my chin and around my jawline from before I even realised I was pregnant. It's not usually a problem for me either but it's basically the increase of estrogen in the first trimester so hopefully will calm down, although we get an increase of progesterone in the second trimester so who knows? Doesn't exactly make you feel beautiful and blooming though!

Urgh is no one else suffering from lower back pain? It's agonising today even while sitting or is It because I am bunged up constipation wise? Things are pressing where they shouldn't. I don't think I have been a decent amount since Monday night. So not ages. I have also swung between diarrhoea to constipation the last few weeks how is that possible!

i just found out im pregnant yesterday, i think i am 4 ww ish. i dont know if i have any symptoms other than v sore boobs which are enormous already, im sure everyone will guess i am pregnant just by them alone! i woke up at 5am today for the first time ever.....is that a symptom?

actually ive been feeling quite a few cramps as well - its really weird cus they feel similar if not as strong as period cramps.

Saw my GP yesterday and came away feeling really flat. He didnt believe I was pregnant as I was on the pill. Showed him the test with the thick dark line and he said "well these pharmacy tests can be very unreliable" (even though it says 99%+ on the box ) . So I said I dont mind if you want to test me now so he did and of course it was positive. So then he didnt believe that I had been taking the pill as its "very very unusual" - well yes I know, thats why DH and I were so shocked. He just made me feel so small and stupid.
Need to ring from tuesday to arrange a MW apt as they are updating their computers this week grr. Just want it to all feel real now.

Sorry this post is a bit rambled.

5+2 today :) (so boo to you doc!!)

Ugh I hate GPs like that. Gah.

Ots that's such a shame he pissed on your parade :( hopefully he was just having a bad day and isn't always like that! Don't be too glum, everyone else is happy for you!

Ots when I was younger I got pregnant on the pill, took it at the same time everyday and went to the doctors as I'd been being sick and had really bad pain under my ribs, but it never crossed my mind that I could be pregnant so I hadn't tested. Did it there and then, was obviously very shocked and upset and the doctor was so lovely about it and said that these things do happen and it's not 100% effective. What a horrible doctor you must have had!!

ots sounds like a rubbish GP who doesn't listen. and the pharmacy tests are not unreliable either. I haven't even seen the GP this time - it's all in midwife's care now.

cheesecakemom yes I'm struggling with that too! I feel like my social life at night is on hold as I just collapse into bed once kids are down. Ended up telling boss and a colleague as feel so horrendous at work. Will you not be showing long before 20 weeks?

I actually feel more human today. Phew! Good job too as had clients in all morning, so no bending over on myself to stop the sickness!

Hoping not to jinx it. Think I forgot my pre-natal vits yesterday, so must remember to take them this evening. Hoping this is why I'm not feeling so sick!

7+2

what is the difference between those vitamins and the folic acid? do i need both?
im sorry to hear about your horrible doctor experience, ots, thats not nice at all

Thanks ladies :) I think he was just a locum (hope so!) . With DS my GP was so lovely and quickly helped me to arrange a MW apt so I thought that would happen this time too. Can't wait to have my booking in, thats when it all felt real last time!

Feeling pretty rough today, still not been physically sick, but had nausea all day today and yesterday. And does anyone else get where you get a sudden burst of feeling hungry, so prepare something to eat and by the time its ready you can't face it?! So annoying!

I'm ravenous today and have binged on carbs feeling very ashamed and poorly now.
