New thread for the January babies

Argh, not sure what's going on mrschatty. Are you looking at the link I posted at 09:43 this morning? I'm not on a laptop just now but I'll double check it once I'm on a computer tomorrow morning and try to get this sorted.

Blimey just had a look at that spreadsheet - there's loads of us!! April was obviously a very busy month ;)

I live in North Glasgow Brickie.

Blimey indeed. Anyone else IVF or just me?

"Morning" sickness - in whose book? Totally evening for me! I'm 8+0 today and could barely make the drive home from work. Still no actual vomit though somehow I think I would feel better if I did.

Gouda I'm glad to hear I'm not the only cheese fanatic at the moment. There's something about the texture of cheddar that just sorts me out right now.

Kep good news on your scan!

Ugh, it was much easier when I didn't have to go to work. How on earth do people with small children cope with pregnancy?

Still delighted to be pregnant though

Well, survived first day back at work, even though I wanted to slap some of my year 11! Also an my timetable for next year and it's not too bad!

Lol, Aloha I was thinking exactly the same this morning when I was adding the new passengers!!!

Thanks teenie let me know if you need my stats again :)
blackandwhite I'm 8w today were twinnies!!!! And same all day nausea too... I find it much worse when I've not eaten- DH said his colleague who is about 14w sits eating crisps all day think I need to join her xxx

Hello Chatty, strange that we are on the same day but have calculated different due dates?!

Have just discovered that green tea with jasmine is just what I need to keep that nausea at bay - I think it's something to do with the sourness of the taste...

Also when I look at the stats sheet from the link Teenie sent this morning, it seems to have you on the list at no. 26 all fine Chatty? Weird

Evening Preggos!

5+1 here and still few symptoms apart from sore boobs, headaches and terrifying cramping.

DH and I have just scoffed the last of our wedding cake. Sadly I can't really get involved with the wedding champagne just now! Does anyone have a nickname for their bean yet? Ours is Barbie as it was conceived in Barbados on our honeymoon

Blackandwhitecat do you know green tea is high in caffeine? Higher than normal tea but lower than coffee, I think.

I went for a curry tonight. Bad plan. Definitely suffering for it now

Juniper hi and thanks for the info, no I didn't know. I only danced the tea bag at the water and don't have them very often, but good info! Hope you're feeling better soon.

Oysterbabeaaaah a honeymoon baby
our nickname for bean is Bubblet as we refer to each other as various types of bubbles... My parents put 'let' at the end of their surname for me, but it doesn't quite work with our surname!

teenie I don't think I'm on the stats yet (there are so many how do you keep up?!) I'm 27, first pregnancy, edd 22nd Jan, in Derby (slowly working out this how MN thing I think....its like learning a whole new language!)

teenie would you please add me to the stats? 28, 2dc, 0mc, Scotland, scan date 22 July, Edd 28 jan

Could you add me please Teenie? 36 years old, based in Scotland, DC2, 9 months of trying, EDD 17 Jan, scan 8 July. Sick. as. a. dog. But elated obviously!

Ha blackandwhite I can't see myself I must be looking at the wrong thing! Have I calculated my days wrong? When's your Edd? X

Phizpop Oooh, you're not far from me. I'm about an hour further north!

Hoping today is a better day for nausea. Felt quite rubbish in the afternoon and evening for the past 2 days. I haven't had cereal all weekend though, maybe the slow-release energy is good for me

Been lingering on the side for awhile. 9 weeks today.

Had half term last week which was horrific for nausea and sickness. Back at work which is a slight distraction from the nausea but after day one feel like i could sleep for a week! Only 26.5 working days left!

3 weeks and 2 days until scan, debating whether to pay for another reassurance scan. Just want to see it again. DH isn't a fan was supportive for the first one.

Was 'Nigel' when it was the size of a nigella seed now it's 'Gary' as we found out it was conceived on our honeymoon in Calgary. Do not want it to stick as a name! We are both convinced it's a boy though already. Will be a shock if its a girl, are people planning on finding out?

Hi mini I have no plans on finding out, I will be firmly yellow.

I weighed myself this morning and I've lost half a stone since I found out I was pregnant It's sorely needed (and some more) so hoping to slim enough that when bump appears it is actually a bump and not just a beer belly. I'm surprised because I've been only to eat a lot of the wrong foods....guess not having wine for this long is helping.

I'm going to find out mini. It makes name choosing easier, plus knowing what clothes etc to look out for. More though I think it will help my two kids prepare if they know whether a little sister or brother is coming along.

We're definitely not finding out. Does anyone have a preference? Before I was pregnant I always said I'd prefer a boy first if it was possible to choose. Now I'm pregnant I'm sort of leaning more towards wanting a girl. Of course it doesn't matter either way

I'm trying not to care but I kind of want a boy. It's a bit silly but my oldest is a boy, youngest is a girl. I can imagine her little nose is going to get put out of joint by a new baby. My theory is that if it were a boy, even though she's a middle child, she'd retain status as only girl. If it was a girl then she's neither youngest, or only girl, plus my boy might end up feeling left out, of the two girls played together without him, whereas he's not likely to play with a boy nearly 5 yrs younger than himself to the exclusion of her. Over thinking this???? Maybe!!!

We're 100% nit finding out I'm excited. I was so sure it's a boy now no idea xx

Ah found you all! Will have to read back to catch up on what's been going on.

Is anyone else finding the tiredness just unbearable? I really didn't think I'd be so tired. Feel like I could just sleep forever.

Booking appointment tomorrow
