BFP last Friday, will (hopefully) be my second child, as have a 2 year old DS already. Doctor said I was due 2 June Smile
Feeling very excited, but quite nervous as had a MMC before DS, so noticing when symptoms have gone/come back!
Also finding it hard not being able to talk to anyone in RL (obviously DH knows).
Anyone else got this news recently and care to join? Smile

I am feeling overwhelmed poppy! We've told my mum and the in laws but already being pressured by them to announce to the family! I wish we'd kept it to ourselves a few weeks longer. I just don't feel confident telling everyone yet just in case!

MumofthreeandBean · 02/10/2016 15:50

Poppy - I've been thinking about twins, I am a fraternal twin, apparently makes me more likely to release more eggs, also I'm an older mum and I've had 3 children already - both putting my odds up!
What got me thinking was that I have been feeling sick all day from very early - almost 1 week possibly, and my tummy is already growing and I'm around 6 weeks

lolly ive done loads of tests only because i had a chemical pregnancy this year and i've been very anxious...now i'm doing them for kicks Smile

peaceloveandbiscuits · 02/10/2016 16:24

My BFP was on my last IC test, and I bought one digital a few days later to confirm. Not buying any more, or I'll go mad!

sleepylil · 02/10/2016 16:39

I've told a small number of close friends but that's it and won't be telling anyone else until later on even tho I would certainly tell some of them if I miscarry again. Those I've told are people that know lots about previous stuff that's happened with me and are v supportive and understand how I'm feeling right now. If we told everyone now I feel it would be full blown excitement and planning expected from right now when I'm just not ready for that.

MrsY87 · 02/10/2016 17:22

Only DH and I know at the moment, will most prob tell my mum and two very close friends as they were so supportive when I mc but other than that want to keep it that way until after 12 week scan.

Now just to hide the not drinking until then, difficult when you are known to enjoy a glass of wine! Blush think I might just have to hibernate!

MumofthreeandBean · 02/10/2016 18:15

Just told the kids....that was interesting!

IWantedToBeAnAstronaut · 02/10/2016 18:24

lolly I've only done 2 the second being a cb.
We've only told both Mum's. I have a friend who has been trying for 3 years & I'm worried about telling her. I'm going to tell a close friend for support as well, but I am enjoying having a secret...

IWantedToBeAnAstronaut · 02/10/2016 18:24

mum "interesting" in a good way?

Purplefairy21 · 02/10/2016 18:24

mumofthree good interesting?
Other than pil and a close friend nobody knows. I am seriously debating whether to not tell anyone at all and see who's got the balls to ask me straight out have you indulged over Xmas or are you pregnant? Grin (I keep telling myself I will get that far and it'll be fine)

ICuntSeeYourPoint · 02/10/2016 18:25

Already Mumof3? Won't they be badgering you now for the next 8 months? "Is it here yet?"! I'm waiting as long as possible before telling mine but they're only 6 and 4). What did they say?

We're telling nobody yet. Saw my mum today and managed not to say anything, phew! That was hard.

IWantedToBeAnAstronaut · 02/10/2016 18:27

mrs I was told a good trick with alcohol is always to accept a drink if offered, as people notice if you don't take it. But don't drink it (give it to DP etc) as no one notices if you actually drink it or not! Smile

peaceloveandbiscuits · 02/10/2016 18:32

"Sober October" came just in time!

haveacupoftea · 02/10/2016 18:36

Is anyone else feeling irritable today? I woke up feeling great but my mood has gone badly downhill as the days gone on! Could be Sunday night blues I suppose!

MumofthreeandBean · 02/10/2016 18:44

My 3 kids are 15,13 and 10.
One cried because she thought she wouldn't have a bedroom when she returned from college, one was pleased he could have a double bunk bed and the younger one still doesn't believe me!!

We told them now because I don't like keeping secrets from them, they are old enough to know and I've been feeling so ill I could do with the help!!

MrsY87 · 02/10/2016 18:55

Good tip astronaut, its true you always notice if someone doesn't take a drink but never if they don't drink it!

ICuntSeeYourPoint · 02/10/2016 18:59

Hopefully they have a realistic(ish) sense of how long pregnancy takes by that age, and good point about the helping!

sleepylil · 02/10/2016 19:32

Astronaut it's a difficult situation with your friend but I'm sure that she will appreciate that from your POV too in time. Having been in a similar position to your friend (was told I would never be able to have kids) I always appreciated people telling me via a nice message so that I didn't have to hear it face to face. That may sound odd but it gave me time to have a little upset moment, feel sad that it wasn't me and get my head around it so that when I saw them I wasn't going to pieces when I was really genuinely happy for them but feeling sad for myself. I don't know if that makes any sense! I think just acknowledging that you understand it may be hard for them and appreciate their feelings whilst wanting to share your exciting news with them really makes all the difference.
I used the antibiotics excuse when I was pregnant with my son but sober October will definitely come in handy!

mrspage1985 · 02/10/2016 19:43

Question relating to a post earlier on...do the digital tests show the amount of weeks past 3+?
For some reason I thought 3+ was the longest timeline it showed but if it shows the actual weeks - i.e. 6 or 7 etc then I think I will buy one! X

peaceloveandbiscuits · 02/10/2016 19:54

No, 3+ is the last indicator.

IWantedToBeAnAstronaut · 02/10/2016 19:55

sleepy thank you for the advice. I was thinking of sending her a text and telling her that way first as it would be kinder so she can react however she needs to. I just didn't want it to seem impersonal, but your comment confirms my thoughts. Thank you Smile

peaceloveandbiscuits · 02/10/2016 19:57

Sleepy is very wise Wink

IWantedToBeAnAstronaut · 02/10/2016 19:57

Didn't think of the sober October Confused time to get some sponsorship! My biggest problem will be my 40th in November!!!

Poppydm · 02/10/2016 20:07

Sober October is a great excuse! We went out last night and I was bought drinks and my DH drank them (I pretended to!) needless to say he was hammered! Been and told my Mum. Is it weird that I'm in my thirties and was still so nervous?! I'm feeling quite anxious tonight. Sorry you're feeling overwhelmed too Kat Hope you feel better soon and they realize that you need some time and space.

LollyCake · 02/10/2016 20:36

I'm worried about twins Blush It would be just my luck. I've had a lot of symptoms quite early on, including feeling really sick for most of the day. I'm not sure I could cope with twins tbh!

We've told both our parents and I've told a couple of close friends and my bus from January 2015 Smile I need someone to moan to when I start throwing up!
