Due March 2015 - on the way to booking in, scans and morning sickness ahoy!

[notoasthere]

New thread ladies since we are nearly bursting the seams of the first one!

Should be a lovely day for a crossing Durham! I know that area well, it will be beautiful at the moment.

I have a hen weekend in the north of England to go on this weekend and in my slightly fed up, tired and continuously nauseous state don't mind saying I am dreading it. It looks like possibly the most over engineered event I can remember in a long time and I will only know a handful of other girls, none of whom I wish to tell about my pregnancy yet. I know that if I feel I am put in a position where I have to say it, I will feel sad, it's not how I want to share the news. I'm sure it will be fun when I get there...

Updated my stats on the list. Baby #1 (hope so!) edd 11/3 woohooo

Haha just ticked myself and it came up as "completed just now" erm no hoping for completion in around 7 months

Hey, not sure what I should say. I found out yesterday that I'm about 5 weeks pregnant and due on the 23rd March. Going for my first meeting with a midwife on the 14th August.

Congrats on the pregnancy Mer93!!

Pintoftea & Persepolis - curious to hear how you two go about with the scan stuff. I'll keep my fingers crossed for both of you that you get what you want and when.

MGFM - wow! You are brave! I can't imagine having to use an outside loo on any regular basis. Happy for your return to home and normalcy

Keeper - I hope you're "ok". I know that sounds weak, but get checked out around your neck and spine. Hope you can get some downtime to make sure you're ok.

ZebraZeebra - you're still doing kettle bells?!? Lucky!! I worked out last year regularly with kettle bells and LOVED them, and the results! I've been zapped for energy since got my BFP, so have only done walking everyday, but do you think in the second trimester one could still use kettle bells doing squats and lunges? I'd love to, but am a bit afraid. What do you think?

What I wouldn't give for a massive bowl of pasta with pesto right now!! (Hungry, but oh-so-nauseous...freaking contradiction)

I had my first midwife appointment on Tuesday was literally 10 mins and filled some forms in!

We went for an early scan a few weeks ago and got to hear the heartbeat which was amazing.

Still not feeling any real symptoms although on my way to the midwife I just managed to get the car over in time to throw up! (baby wipes and water are a must have in the car now!)

Is anyone else showing? people keep saying to me I look really big which is slightly annoying but there is def a bump there! :)

Sunshine - I officially look like a heffalump me and DP went to a charity launch night on saturday so the full long dress and tux. Looking back over the photos I look about 5 months not 7-8 weeks. Hoping some of it is bloat!!

Afternoon all :)

smoke that's a great list thing!

I've got an ill man and a grumpy child :( both are irritating me, ds I'is clambering all over mm, want to scream every time he goes near my boobs :(

Hope everyone is having a good day x

Hello all. I hope you are all ok today.

Welcome mer

Hope your head is ok keeper

I am starting to feel a bit better. This is worrying me. I'm still tired and joined the 5am club today for the first time. But my nausea has settled and I am not quite as tired as I have been. To be honest I am sure I have had a few days where I feel better and then worry then suddenly feel awful again. But I liked the consistent sickness I did have. Well, I hated it but it made me feel pregnant. It might just be that I'm learning how to cope with it, plus I'm 8+3 now so maybe I'm just getting to the feeling better stage. Can not wait for 12 week scan. Need to knows bean is ok.

keeper that's awful. Hope you are ok

I need to eat little and often to keep the nausea at bay but I'm not that hungry. Also worried if I carry on eating so much I will put on a ridiculous amount of weight.

Sunshine, I'm not 'showing' yet, but my normally small boobs feel/look huge!

Zebra I'm using mini dumbells (haha autocorrect wanted to say bumbells!) that are about 2.5kg - good for you, keeping up with it! I'm super hoping money comes in soon so I can swim again.

Durham Yes, insomnia is awful! Glad you got some sleep. Hope travelling goes well!

Just put everyone in chronological order on The List.

PS. Thanks pinkandstripey!

I think you can do pretty much anything you were doing before because your body is used to it. Only in the third trimester would I start being aware of stretchy ligaments. Bit to be honest DS is 14kg and my kettle bell is 16kg. Sometimes I swing DS like a kettle bell. I'll probably just do swings and dead lifts. My husband I did parkour so balancing and vaulting is ok for while, as is climbing and hanging.

Very impressed with you ladies who are exercising - just going for a walk exhausts me at the moment!

Zebra I'm so jealous. I'm only 6 weeks and already am having to wear an ankle support (hypermobile and nerve damage) which the dr puts down to pregnancy, my joint flexibility has risen over the last couple of weeks. Do you not get cramps? That's been my exercise problem when doing cardio apart from joints.

Hi ladies, can I join you? Found out a couple of days ago that I'm upduffed with DC2 (my DD is 18 months), EDD end of March (26th or 30th - GP and I couldn't agree!). Referred for an early scan tomorrow morning because I've had spotting and cramps so fingers crossed. No symptoms really apart from big sore boobs and fuzzy brain

woodland I know how you feel, I went on a hen do last weekend and I had to tell some people which was a bit rubbish

Welcome mer

hi everyone. Can I join in too please? I'm just 5 weeks, EDD 26th March. I've just been booked in this morning - ridiculously early I know but when I phoned to make an appointment they seemed desperate to get me in as were very quiet!! All starting to feel a little more real....

I am also so glad that we will be at our heaviest during the winter. I am struggling big time in this heat!!

Hello to the new faces!

DS had a glorious 2 hour outside nap, so I sat on the sofa and did....nothing. Twas bliss! It is sooooo unbelievably warm here - one load of washing dry in under 2 hours and a second load on the line! I'm thinking we might have to head out for an ice cream once ds finishes his lunch!

im only 5 weeks saturday im a slightly wobbly size 12 but the bottom of my belly has swollen and i look about 4 months pregnant now how am i going to hide it until im 12 weeks? anyone else showing this quick with 3rd baby?

Can I ask those who have had early scans..... How many weeks were u and did you have abdominal or internal scan?

Just curious, ds was ivf so well used to the dildo cam as someone's oh (in here but can't remember who!) so delicately put it!

Cheers.

I went to do some 'exercise' at lunch. Best session ever. Walked 20 mins to the shop (did walk fast) and got myself and icecream and walked back!! He he he!! Have yoga tonight though.

foscar that sounds like my type of exercise!

I think irrational pregnancy hormones have hit - I just spent 10 minutes crying on my husbands shoulder excuse my sister couldn't go for coffee. I knew I was bein ridiculous but just couldn't stop!

*excuse should read because
