Good Evening!

Another one with an apology for impersonal replies! I'm rubbish at remembering names and struggling to get use to this forum and accessing from mobile ( I used Baby world last time).

Welcome to the newcomers and congratulations!

Everyone s circumstances are different and choices to be made your own. I had wanted another child for years but OH reluctant. I finally said its now or never and to not even try would have been a huge regret. So ultimately I feel I guilt tripped him into it. I even suggested morning after pill but he said did I know already? And not to change our minds when decision had been made. Fell first month and I'm still struggling to come to terms with it when its all I thought I wanted! He seems pretty happy though.

I too am struggling to hide bump - someone at work today said thats a nice big jumper - paranoid or what? !?

Im going to tell manager I have appointments but not what for - likely to have some regarding that lump too!

Am I the only one where it's only me and OH know?!?

Hope scans went / go well.

Hi everyone,
It's been busy here today! Tried to get on here at lunchtime in work but the website is blocked there - charming!

Fingers crossed all of the appointments go well tomorrow.

Piggle, when I found out I was pregnant with my dd (now 4) i was in complete shock and very confused about what to do. My circumstances were very different then and I was very worried in the beginning about whether I would be bringing a baby into chaos and if that was unfair (my dad was quite unwell at the time) - obviously everybody is different but I know that at some point the worry lifted and now, with a happy, healthy 4 year old, I look back and am mainly relieved that things are so different now and grateful that it all worked out!

Have my booking in appt on Wednesday!

Fingers crossed for you MsJ and MrsK

Evening all

That's an interesting q about being part time and appts. I hadn't really thought about it, but I got my booking in appt for a day I don't work and changed it for a day I do work - I don't have child care on my days off so it would be tricky taking DS when I'm having bloods done etc!

My work are pretty flexible though so it should all be ok hopefully! I generally make up the time by checking in on day off.

Great news about your mum MrsE! Good luck for the scabs mrs k and Jupiter (hope those names are correct, hard to read back).

Er, scans not scabs ffs! Sorry!

Gr33dy only myself and DH know. Makes it hard. Will be so glad once we know we can start telling people. Hopefully be able to get to tell people ourselves before the jungle drums do the job for us. Saw a friend today who said " are you still keen on nbr 3 or you gone off the idea again". Was so hard to not talk about stuff without dropping myself in it. Luckily as it's so cold I can wear lots of layers. It will be an evening invitations where I come unstuck as look like a beached pregnant whale.

Evening ladies, sorry, another question!! The midwife I saw today said my actual midwife would call me to book my booking appointment which would take place at my home. Would she be taking bloods etc there? I presumed I'd have to visit the surgery/centre for that!

Hmm I don't know vintage, although of course people give birth at home so taking bloods is probably nothing compared to that for a midwife!

I'm not sure vintage but I didn't have bloods taken at my booking in appointment this time; they're going to be taken at the same time as the 12 week scan. I've never had anyone visit my house before the birth.

I'm another one who just can't keep track of everyone posting - apologies!

Everybody here is so lovely, it's quite overwhelming.

Vintage Hello, yes I am a Moomins fan - can't wait to read the books to my little one. And scare him/her silly with the cartoon like I was. My friends sister is a midwife and she has mentioned taking bloods at homes of her clients - I couldn't tell you if this is regular practice or not though!

teenie 1 day ahead! If I go by LMP, I'm actually already 6 weeks but the --rather twee and sentimental bollocksy app I got places me at 5+6.

Good luck for those of you having your scans, I'll be thinking of you all.

Hi all, in being a bit rubbish at keeping up with you all. Truth be told, I mostly just want to keep my head down until I get to twelve weeks because if I overthink it at this stage, I'm going to get anxious. I hope that's OK! I am reading when I can and particularly thinking if those who are struggling.

Have found my new Seven Sea pregnancy multivitamins helpful the last couple of days. It must be the ginger in them.

Much less sicky.

vintage if she is coming to you that might be happening. Bloods, urine etc. And a nice long chat regarding your pg. Good luck!!

MrsK I have been thinking of you and will keep everything x for you..
MrsJ fingers crossed for you my lovely!!

gr33dy we haven't told anyone yet.... it is hard....

mrsE good news regarding your Mum. She is knitting already!!!

I have to go because ds2 is not settling but welcome to all the new people. I haven't been posting as still in limbo ....until the scan Thursday . I had some blood tsken. The hcg was 10888 and on the 3rd day was 12444. So rising but I not sure if enough or if a mmc as the hcg would still rise then wouldn't it???
So not posting but reading and wishing you all the very best....

Alis, I've had boots own brand with ginger and haven't felt nearly as sick as I did with my son! Gone for Asda cheapies now so the theory could be confirmed by Friday if I suddenly go green!

Fingers crossed notso.

I didn't have bloods at booking in but was only 6 weeks then. I'm expecting them at my 12 week appointment (Now panicking about finding a long sleeved baggy top to hide the inevitable bruise).

I had bloods at my booking appt for anemia, rubella and other things. I was only 8 weeks. And still have the bruise! Thank god it's winter what with that and trying to hide my anti-sickness bands!

It would be interesting if it is the ginger helping Gr33! I might just have convinced myself to the point I'm getting a kind of placebo effect.

I didn't have bloods at my booking in either, just had my blood pressure checked.

It's just in the tablets I'm taking Sun though suppose anything with ginger in it might help.

Ginger biscuits for example

I have ginger tea and crystallized ginger! Had some ginger beer the other day too (non-alcoholic of course).

I've been having a can of ginger beer most days. I was addicted to it last time.

I bought some apple and ginger tea. Made me sick

Oh dear pas maybe it was the apple

pret do a lemon and ginger drink and I can't stop thinking about it. There isn't one for miles...
