ive just got my bfp!!!!

from dates im due 1st feb

Sorry to hear your loss salty. Look after yourself.

Welcome to our newbies shuffle and pillow. Congratulations.

I'm just plodding on now, only 6+1 as I'm the baby of the thread due on 28 feb. Sickness coming and going. Hoping I'll be able to work next week.

So sorry to hear that salty. Look after yourself.

Welcome to shuffle and pillow.

Love the scan pic littlemiss, and so sweet that your DH is getting excited now. My DH is having trouble feeling it's real until we get to see it on a scan because he doesn't feel any symptoms. I am absolutely exhausted all the time and go from full to starving and back again in the blink of an eye so it's all a bit more apparent to me. I've told my parents and a couple of friends but he hasn't shared the news yet.

Lucky timing Memphis. That must have felt a bit stressful having such a deadline.

I think it is sweet that your mum guessed geeky, but glad that she didn't push it but let you tell her after the party when you were ready. A couple of people have guessed with me mainly because of the no alcohol thing. I wouldn't normally pass up a cider in the sunshine for anything!

8+5 today and last night was my first decent night's sleep in about two weeks. Hoping this is the start of night nausea easing up, because it's been truly vile!

Sorry to hear that Salty.

Feeling a bit anxious today and not sure if I am just overtired and worrying over nothing. Am approx 9+4 and have had a little bit of brown spotting yesterday and today (sorry if tmi!) is not much but feel a little worried. Still over a fortnight until my dating scan too...feels like a looong wait

Frenetic hope it is the start of you not feeling ill.

Had a lovely curry tonight, nicest naan bread I have ever eaten I reckon, and I ate most of it!

Welcome newbies!

So sorry Salty must be awful after the scan as well! Take time to grieve look after yourself

Jen I had spotting before my scan and sonographer said it's moving around a lot now so can often knock the fragile lining or blood vessels around it.

Well done on the curry Memphis, it's so difficult to eat 'proper' food when feeling so blugh!

things - so agree with you about cider in the sun but so far no-one has managed to notice, I think I've successfully avoided the situations / made out that I was the day before etc.. As for my mom being sweet, she did say that she would have asked again before we went home (we live over 200 miles away) and has been regaling me with tales of her friend projectile vomiting into the 9th month! She did then try to assure me that this was unusual and most people had it easier, as it turns out she hardly had any ms. Hmph. At 9w I'm hoping I'm over the worst, now just to get the wedding organised, 4 weeks to go, aargh!

Things and Geeky, perhaps you can both offer me some advice! My DH's brother is getting married in 3 wks. Himself & his Wife to be have been trying for 2 years and are now going down IVF route. I can't help but feel v guilty that (despite our mc) we've been lucky to fall pregnant relatively quickly. Her hen is next wkend, 8 girls going out for a meal. She has already said that she can't cope with anyone else getting pregnant so what do you reckon I should do? Not easy to cover up not drinking at a table of 8 but don't want to tell her before her wedding incase this upsets her.
Any advice greatly received!

Sorry salty :-(

Got my booking in appointment today, dreading any blood tests (hate needles!) But glad I'm seeing her today, not sure if I mentioned but on Saturday, I had a pink cm wipe just once but tmi, it was after a bit of straining on the toilet (no longer bum sick but bunged up grr!)

Now getting used to the morning gagging but the rest can do one, I'm fed up of it :-( xx

Sorry to hear your news salty, take care.

Glad to hear everyone else is getting on ok. I have booked a private scan for when I will be ten weeks on 20th so only a couple of weeks until we hopefully see our little bean again!

blank I have finally got pregnant through ivf after 4 years and a miscarriage so I know how your sister in law is feeling. It's lovely your being so kind and I can only talk from
experience but I think it's probably best to tell her before you go. Hopefully the excitement of the wedding etc will soften the blow, it's so hard but she is going to find out eventually and one of the things that I really hated was being treated differently and people keeping secrets and tip toeing around me! X

Morning all! Almost chundered all over the platform at Clapham Junction this morning. Luckily nothing came up, was just a bit dry heave haha. Grabbed a bottle of lucozade and it's making me feel soooo much better, highly recommend to those who are suffering!

I have my first midwife appointment this afternoon (looks like a couple of us do!) and I'm strangely excited haha.

Hi Happilymarried, congrats on your little bean and sorry you've had a hard time getting to where you are now.
Thank you for your honesty.
My DH's sister announced her pregnancy last week so I felt like I'd be rubbing salt in the wounds by telling her so soon again.
Thank you for your advice, I guess you're right and that in this situation that honestly is the best policy. Thanks & good luck with everything!

Sorry to hear your news salty take care of yourself. I hope you have lots of RL support.

memphis you already have a knack of making me feel hungry!! Despite the nausea. Woke this morning and thought 'I feel better!' And of course started worrying, but no, have just made it to work without puking everywhere. Close call though! Still waiting for an early scan appt, booking in, preeclampsia specialist etc etc. I wish something would happen!

By the way, to all those on this thread who are feeling old - don't forget that you now have Granny Grinch to make you feel young again!!

Ps I have been mistaken for my toddler's 'nana'. I was

Oh and loving the scan pics. Let's have more!

hanflan is that the fizzy lucozade or the still one? Anything that helps I'll try! At the moment the only liquid I'm wanting is water, but it has to be ice cold,; the colder the better.

Anyone else experiencing mood swings already? I thought they were to come later, but I had a complete rage out this morning after a completely harmless comment my DH made on a girl's FB picture.

Pregnant hormones activated for sure...

It's the fizzy one, just called Lucozade Energy Original! I was scouring Mumsnet for "how to survive commuting with morning sickness" and that seemed to be a popular remedy! Oh and Lidl extra strong large freezer bags to vom into of you are stuck on a train. HAHA!

fox I haven't had the rage yet but I cry at silly things on tv

hanflan I used to like lucozade but sadly the GD test last time has put me off it for life...

Oh yes, and ice cold for sure. I am with you on that one! Mmmmm :)

I'm lucky that my commute is minimal, I live just a 5-min drive from where I work. I struck gold with this job for sure! I'm signed off at the moment though, chronic back pain as well as morning sickness. I hate being off work but I think it ended up being necessary.

You are very lucky! Mine is almost an hour and a half, two trains and a bus into Central London. Bleurgh :(

Tough one blank. Honesty is definitely the best policy but trying to get the timing right, yikes. As for the hen night in general, I got the idea of pretending to be already hungover from someone else on this thread! It fits in well with the nausea / being unable to eat properly as well. Good luck and try not to feel too guilty, I know it's hard not to but you don't roll the dice etc..
hanflan I hope your day gets better. And Grinch you're only a few years older than me so with my greying hair I'm sure that's going to happen to me down the line! Hey ho.

Thank you geeky! I do feel a million times better already :)

Frenetic, I hear you with the mood swings. I bawled after the men's tennis final yday!
