ALL NEW - Due in December!

[JARM]

Over here girls - sorry for the abuse on the last one, but this is the happy one!

Lets get started!

Thanks - that could work but then I've got to buy all the drinks !

just time your drinks so youre out of step with the round, or tell them you have a headache and had to take some nureofen before you went out!

Hey you're good at this lissie - thanks!

Hi, have been a lurker on mumsnet for a while but this is my first post, looks like Im preggers again too! Due, I think, Dec 6th, have a DD who is 13 months, Oh My God. Went out last night and craftily got away with no drinking by saying DD is teetheing so would be up all night. Seemed to work.

lol, with ds i worked in a restaurant so after work id make 1 tonic last til everyone else had finished and got another drink then get another one so id be out of the round

lol, just been asked by MiL if im pg again coz ive been sick while here. said no but grinned like a loon!

Hi to all they new mummies-to-be - more and more of us now.

Barrellrider - glad you mentioned period type pains - my last pg with DD 2 yrs ago was brilliant - no ms, no pains, nothing but feel all very different this time and was beginning to panic - just odd little twinges - but sounds like nothing to get overly worried about.

Riss - same dilema for me - off to IL's this weekend and they as weren't exactly over the moon and supportive last time, really don't want to tell them this early on. As they only drink Red wine and know I like white, I'm planning on decanting some alcohol free stuff into a couple of screw top normal wine bottles and fake it basically - one advantage of the screw top I suppose!

Still knackered and boobs aching a bit - and seem to have lost my appitite - not an overly bad thing as still 2 st heavier than pre-DD

Apologies for the long messages from me, but I only get to post one every so often so have to cover lots each time

lol, try to remember how much your body changes in the 1st few weeks. aches and pains are v natural!

Does anyone else wake up ridiculously early? 4am this morning! I'm knackered.

lol, its all preparation!

ha ha - yes true!

Also is it ok to fly - I'm going on an 8 hr flight tomorrow? Sorry for so many questions, I'm new to this pregnancy thing

you should be, but drink plenty of water and tell the steward/ess that you are pg on boarding. where are you going?

New York - can't wait! Thanks for the water advice - although I'm drinking like a very thirsty thing at the moment so it shouldn't be a problem!

Hi all!

How are we all?

Took the DD's to soft play this morning and am now SHATTERED! Have had a little kip on the sofa but am still so tired! Not helped by being awake at 5.30am today because of DD1! (Roll on winter when its dark again!)

Has anyone else thought about maternity clothes yet? im a short arse heffer anyway so struggle really badly for maternity clothes - anyone got any ideas for cheap stuff?!

Lissie - take it MIL didnt believe you! Huge congrats though hun and glad this one seems to be going well so far xxx

Im not feeling as rough as I did last week - its still the tiredness that is killing me.

Hope you are all doing well.

Hi JARM - short arses unite - why do all the fancy smart maternity shops only do up to 14 or 16????? And blooming Marvelous does to 20 but charges for it!! Still looking myself - wondering if this seasons smock tops may hide my addiction to Jaffa Cakes and also the bump when it grows? I bet New Look (which has a section which does proper womens sizes) will have loads in. Let me know if you find any jolly but not cost the earth places

Having had a quick look at maternity tops, I think the sewing machine may be getting a workout! I'm already having to make my own blouses - big D-cup with narrow shoulders means either I can do them up or the shoulders/sleeves fit. What is it with manufacturers anyway - my shoulders don't get any wider nor my arms longer when I'm a 16/18 as oppposed to a 12/14 (many years since!).

Maternity trousers I think I'll buy though!

shit, think MiLs caught on, just thrown up my shepherds pie and weed for the 100th time, she keeps smiling at me!

Hello all, gosh this thread is growing nicely - just like our little babies! Congrats to all the new joiners to this thread.

Jarm, glad to see I'm not the only one who's resorted to having afternoon naps! I'm just knackered all the time, sure I wasn't this bad 1st time round.

Riss, you should be ok to fly. Just be careful and take things easy.

Cazzybabs, that pain you describe might be your ovary/corpus luteum(sp?) working overtime to support baby til the placenta takes over? I remember getting twinges on one side of my pelvis with DD. Try not to worry (easier said than done I know).

Only 6 weeks and already my clothes are getting tight! Don't want to jinx things by wearing maternity clothes til I get my 12 scan (roll on 21st May!) Current fashion for long loose jumpers and smock tops should tide me over til then. Think I saw some nice stuff in Uniglo (plus its nice and cheap!)

Ok the shock has subsided, and has now started to sink in. Hubby wasn't over excited, more wary as we have friends who've had mcs, esp with no1. Trying to do some research about it all as it's new to me, but have def felt different today, stomach a little unstable, boobs sore(but only from afternoon onwards) very tired, cannot stop yawning, swollen abdomen and a bit crampy. Think i might see if I can get to see my GP asap, oh EDD I think is 14th Dec

hope its ok to join u 2 dds 7 and 4 and not far due about 9th of december can u please add me to ur list

i think dp quite pleased ttc 12mths our 1st together he has 2 ds and i knew what his response would be "im still getting my playstation 3" im jumping up and down he making sure his getting his new toy,

he said "timing couldb better just before xmas "told him its his fault he never bought me a mothers day present and been saying he got to make it up to me everyday since ie baby dancing now he says" u got your mothers day present now aint ya and im not buying u anything for xmas either".he was laughing at the time not nasty like told 2 close friends but dont want to tell anyone yet as had mc b4 so becoming a serial knicker checker at mo.
