January 2016 Babies - anyone else out there?

[ProbablyMe]

Took a test this morning and am happily expecting 5th January 2016. Couldn't find an existing thread but but please direct me there is there is one!!

Edgar wtf, nothing till week 10? It's horrid that you have to wait for a call - enough of this business is out of our control, why not at least give us that bit of control!

Sleepy what a rude and unpleasant woman! I don't blame you for being sarcastic - she's only getting back what she's dished out

This is such a weird time. Like there's everything going on but nothing at the same time. And it doesn't quite feel real yet, what with waiting for appointments and not telling many people.

pars small bloody world! lol!

OTheHugeManatee i hope i recognise her voice when i go for the appointment LOL

I know what you mean, to us its really exciting, and scary and nervy but everyone else (professionals) is like 'yeah you don't need to see us yet' i just want some confirmatin other than symptoms and 2 BFP's

That's just it, I want to run around going 'OMG OMG OM I'M PREGNANT SOMETHING IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW WHY IS NOTHING HAPPENING OMG AM I STILL PREGNANT AND WHY ARE THE SURGERY SO NOT BOTHERED OMG OMG OMG I'M PREGNANT BUT WHAT IF I'M NOT PREGNANT ANY MORE OMG I'M PREGNANT SOMEONE MAKE A FUSS NOW!!!!!'.

I imagine the novelty will wear off in due course

Oh my god i am soooo glad someone else has had the 'I'M PREGNANT BUT WHAT IF I'M NOT PREGNANT ANY MORE' thing

nothing has happened to make me think i'm not, but what if i'm not!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!!

Parsnip .... I've booked an early one as think it will just settle my mind!! 12 weeks is akmg time to go with no contact!! BUT mines booked for Saturday and I'm so nervous there is nothing in there!!! Won't setttle till I see a HB X

Sleepy Every time I get symptoms I want to whinge at everyone. But then the moment they fade I go OMG WHAT IF I'M NOT PREGNANT ANY MORE?????!!!!???

Can't win, can we.

Had sore boobs and they're much less sore today (ache only when pressed). Should I worry? :s

The weirdest thing I think at this stage is actually not having pregnancy confirmed at all until 12 weeks (scan) despite having some apts. No urine tests for pregnancy etc but they give you the forms to send off to get free prescriptions. V weird.

I went to the GP this morning and she didn't say congratulations. I know it's daft but I still like to hear it! Actually, people have just been like 'oh right' for number 2.

GP won't refer me to midwife as my dates are so mad. I've got a scan at the hospital next week to see what's going on. My LMP makes me 6 weeks, but I know I'm not. Think I'm probably 4. If they see nothing (which they won't!) then I'll have to keep going back until they do. Then back to the GP. Joy!

Tonic NHS says that shellfish is fine as long as it's cooked, but to avoid too much 'big fish' due to the mercury levels. All pates are a no-no and blue cheeses or cheese with mouldy rind.

I'm going to carry on eating runny eggs. We buy organic anyway so I think it'll be fine. It'd only make me ill, not blobby.

Must Learn To Be Succinct

Thanks ladies I'm hopeful about the scan as the spotting has stopped!
My boss made me separate egg yolks and whites earlier...i nearly lost my breakfast!
I don't think I could have waited until the 12wk scan it seems like such a long time!

Parsnip try not to worry about boobs .... Mine been fine this time round with no pain at all!!! I googled disappearance of symptoms this morning and apparently it's normal to have varying symptoms daily x

My boobs did nothing last pregnancy. Did not grow a smidge. So not fair! Only time they got bigger was when my milk came in and then they were ridiculous. Poor DD was nearly suffocated

I really hope my boobs don't get bigger...I'm already a 32G!

My sore boobs keep coming and going too...Parsnip are you wearing a bra today?! Mine definitely get less painful when I don't wear a bra for a few hours!

Yep wearing a bra - can't say I've noticed the difference really.

I read at 4 weeks I'm too early for any symptoms anyway and that they will come on between 6 and 8. Hope that's true and that my strong BFP is a good sign!

I had crippling morning sickness and horrendous cramps at 4 weeks last time, so I'd contest that idea!

Morning sickness is such a misnomer. 'All day sickness' is far more accurate.

Juniper that has made me worry!

I guess we are all different.

I have absolutely NO boobage symptoms!! And didn't get sick till I was 5+3 and it's just got worse everyday!! Don't worry parsnip every single pregnant is different!!! When I was preg last time boobs were painful before my BFP .... This time = nothing x

The all day sickness feels like it's trying to annihilate me feel wretched. Trying to get through the working day is a big struggle. Feel sick from I wake up til I go to bed & just feeling sorry for myself. Just at 6+3 dunno how long I can manage feeling like this

Yokyil have you tried gingernut biscuits? If I had a biscuit for every time I heard that!

Parsnip no sickness here this time. It's different for everyone. Don't worry!

Ta everyone I am a worry wart sorry.

Think I'm just worrying because my breasts were achy and now they aren't.

Symptoms definitely come and go parsnip

I had a bit of nausea week 6-7 last time then very few pregnancy symptoms the rest of my last pregnancy.

Some people have lots of symptoms all the time, some have none at all...some vomit every day they are pregnant and others don't get a whiff of nausea! Everyone is different. Symptoms definitely come and go though - Parsnip, at 4 weeks I don't think I had any to write home about. Even now I feel remarkably well and can't believe there's a baby in there. Half expecting midwife to tell me I'm imagining the whole thing!

Thanks everyone, this is a waiting game for all of us I suppose. If only we could fast forward 12 weeks!
