And no clearing snow to get to hospital!

Hello everyone, tentatively joining here. Got my bfp yesterday, have done 8 tests and they all say positive!
I miscarried my first in May at 11 weeks, so pleased and slightly scared that we're here again so soon.

Interesting weekend here. In laws have been staying and somehow didn't guess, despite my growing waist and me having to be sick in the garden this morning as someone was in the bathroom!
Saw mW and I'm glad I'm not yet classed as high risk due to number of births, I've had 4 so if I go on to have another then I will be apparently. That seems a long way off! Still wondering if this is twins :/

everdene · 07/08/2016 22:53

Moomoo and Finova I'm due on the 11th too!

finova · 08/08/2016 08:22

Why are you thinking twins QueenFee?
How old are you other children?
Poor you being sick in the garden!

Yay everdene!

We should set up one of those lists of who we are and when we are due at some point.

Recently potty trained ds is banished from the toilet and back to the potty Blush because he's conveniently always weeing when I'm about to be sick Confused

I'd planned to get him comfortable going by himself ready for nursery in September (just incase no one hears him say he needs a wee) but I may just have to explain that he's still not there yet

hello lovelies. i got my positive test on friday, due 12th April with my second. my little boy is 13 months....We are in shock I think as it happened much easier second time around and sooner than we thought.

Finding out second time around is soooo different! nervous, daunted and excited. Feeling really bloated, windy and tired already. Waiting for the nausea to hit, it lasted until 15 weeks last time! What is the same is the fear that it might not be healthy, don't think that ever goes away.

is there a fb group? i'm still in one for my first and its great and i find easier to keep up with than these pages x

Midrog · 08/08/2016 10:13

Hi ladies :)
Can I join? I'm 5+1 with my first baby. EDD 9th April (I thought 10th but we'll go with it). Very excited, nervous, shocked! I still can't get my head around it actually being real. Like I forget and then suddenly remember :) I'm thinking of paying for an early scan just because 12 weeks seems like a life time away. Is anyone else having one?
(p.s. everdene .....you were on the August bus weren't you?? waves)

angel0071987 · 08/08/2016 11:28

Hey.
Saw this and hope I can join. I found out I was pregnant at the weekend (very very soon. A honeymoon baby - so quite a shock to me and my husband). I've worked out im due (I hope) at beginning of April. Eeee exciting but so scared and nervous. Have no clue what to do. My one friend I have told is telling me not to get too excited as I'll loose it most probably. I realise the risks are higher in the first few weeks. But I have to hope right?
Went to dr today who told me I was 5weeks already (even tho earliest possible conception was jul16) gave me no information, help or advice and told me to come back in 3 weeks time.
Anyhow.... Everything's new to me so be great to talk to others.

BestBeastie · 08/08/2016 11:31

I'm plannign on an 8 week scan Midrog - did it for my last, and was certainly worth the money in reassurance (saw a very energetically kicking DS).

Is anyone else's jeans already tight? Im not even 5w yet, but my jeans feel like they're shrinking, even round the thighs. I am certainly eating more than I would usually (I dont normally eat lunch, just a late breakfast annd dinner) but this seems a little ridiculous. I'm going to be very grumpy if I have to move up a size right now.

LotsaTuddles · 08/08/2016 12:03

Sickness well and truly here at 5+4.

Lemon juice squash was no wise

Mummymulb16 · 08/08/2016 12:58

If anyone of you are sick or have hyper salivation then try sunflower seed they r so good and are making the swallowing easier Smile

marmitecheesetoast · 08/08/2016 13:04

Hi all, congrats to all the new BFPs!!

Midrog its my first too, and me and DH also quite shocked as only cycle 3 (cycle 2 of actually trying properly). Never in a million years thought it would happen so quickly, especially as my cycles were still all over the place from years on the pill. It's early days yet though. I know exactly what you mean though, I found out on Thursday last week and still struggling to get my head around it too.

I'm only 4+1 with an EDD of 16th April, based on ovulation, as my cycles so long.

I was wondering about an 8 week scan too. How does one go about that?!

I've got a bit of a dilemma at the moment and wonder what anyone thinks. I'm supposed to be going home (4 hour train journey) at the weekend to see my parents and to go bridesmaid dress shopping with my friend who is getting married and the other bridesmaids (who I don't really know). The wedding is on 1st April next year. I'll be staying at my mum and dads. I'm starting to feel quite nauseous/queasy with certain foods (dry heaving last two mornings). So I'm worried about being sick on the train journey/when we are out and about trying on bridesmaid dresses. The plan is to do lunch between shopping and dinner and drinks after so all the bridesmaids can get to know each other.
I'm also worried about being able to keep it from mum and dad. I wasn't planning on telling them yet, especially as DH won't be there with me to tell them together. If the not drinking wasn't obvious (always known to have a few glasses of wine with them), if i'm feeling sicky, it will be obvious.
Thirdly, what do I do about the actual bridesmaid dress shopping?! I don't want to tell my friend yet as its such early days. But will feel awful her paying for a dress that, if all goes well, I know there's no way I'll be able to fit in at 8 and a half months pregnant. Also, am I likely to be going to the wedding?! Which is a 5 hour drive away? Two weeks before due date? I have no idea what to expect, don't know if any of you ladies who have been here before can advise on that part?!
What should I do? I hate lying to my friend, and worried she'll be pissed off if things progress and she finds out I knew at this point. Also, I'm just worrying about the whole weekend generally and wondering if I should try and get out of it?! But that will make me feel like a crappy friend...
Any suggestions?! Sorry for epic post...

jel2014 · 08/08/2016 13:51

midrog congratulations! as a 2nd timer i remember these concerns about telling people. if you are worried and feeling really sick, just pull out of the weekend saying you are ill, you kinda are. How close are you with the friend? If you would want their support if things go wrong I might tell them earlier than others? for the actual wedding I'd be totally non committal about the wedding, so you may have to not be a bridesmaid but could be involved in another way where it doesn't matter if you aren't there. i felt super well at the end of my last pregnancy and would have been fine to travel but i know a lot of people who aren't...and you might have it early. does that help? its so hard in the early days but it gets easier as time passes and you feel confident to tell people x

Hi All, congrats to all the newbies!

I posted on page 3 then didn't get round to posting again Blush Really pleased to still be here at 6+1 (after 2mcs & an mmc).

Got major tiredness & nausea & very sore boobies but embracing it all.

Flowers did you end up booking the scan via Groupon in the end? You must live near me Grin

Lotsa how are you doing? How did you know about booking an early scan at the EPU?
