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...
