It's my second Christmas in a row being pregnant, really missing the wine! Comforting myself that I'll make up for it next year. Grin

Gizzymum · 24/12/2017 20:46

@SmashyCup my second Christmas in a row too. I am craving prosecco!

SmashyCup · 24/12/2017 20:56

Next year Gizzy! Xmas Wink Christmas with an excited baby around more than makes up for it though, today has been so much fun!

@DuchessofStBridget you're not wrong on the timing! Wouldn't be so bad not drinking if I didn't have to try and conceal the fact I'm not drinking too haha!!

Just want to take a minute to wish all my fellow expectant mummies a lovely Christmas! Hope you all have a lovely day and your nausea keeps at bay as much as possible (I know this is what I'm hoping - I'm cooking for 8 people!).

For those of you revealing to family tomorrow, I hope it's beautiful and emotional and happy.

Merry Christmas All!! Xmas SmileStar

Aah it's the first time I've felt like a mince pie so I've just made some and eaten one warm. Amazing! Though can taste the alcohol in it Blush - I think I'll stick to max one a day even though my friend promised me the alcohol would cook out!

TheMildManneredMilitant · 25/12/2017 04:25

Merry Christmas all! I was hoping for a decent sleep but for past few nights keep waking up for couple of hours at 3am then having to go and have a sandwich or something because i'm so hungry.
Anyway hope you all have a great day and sickness at a minimum x

StrawberryLemonade · 25/12/2017 07:07

Merry Christmas everyone! We are waiting for DD to wake up! Xmas Grin

Merry Christmas everyone. I've been awake since 4am, couldn't sleep for excitement. Starting to feel nervous now for my parents coming over and telling them that I'm pregnant.

amzq87 · 25/12/2017 09:35

Good luck @YouCantBeSirius - we're doing the same today. Hope it goes well - I bet they'll be thrilled! X

Hana327 · 25/12/2017 09:52

@YouCantBeSirius I'm feeling the exact same! Good luck to you and @amzq87!

YouCantBeSirius · 25/12/2017 11:17

Thanks, they'll be here in about 30 minutes so I'll update how it goes when they are off home.

BertieBotts · 25/12/2017 12:07

Well we ended up telling DS today but still keeping quiet from other family members probably until NYD.

I hope it's not too early Xmas Blush I showed him the little pic on the app on my phone and asked him to guess what it was.

YouCantBeSirius · 25/12/2017 12:41

My mum started crying Grin in a good way

Hana327 · 25/12/2017 17:48

My mum got all emotional as well! Safe to say a very big but lovely surprise! Not sure why I was so worried! Lol feels strange people knowing!

BertieBotts · 25/12/2017 18:57

I feel so bad not telling family yet :( But I do want to have the confirmation, either bloods or scan, that things are going well. Only 4 days to go!

Poppy1324 · 25/12/2017 20:54

Hi everyone, Can I join you all. I’m 7 weeks due Aug 14th, haven’t told anyone yet ☺️

peterpanwendy · 25/12/2017 21:06

I told my family today, my mum and sister cried they were so happy. Everyone is over the moon for us! :)

milney25 · 25/12/2017 21:07

@Poppy1324 welcome! Hope you've had a nice Christmas!

Gems369 · 26/12/2017 06:10

@BertieBotts I know what you mean. I’ve shared with work as I’m a chemo nurse so they need to know so they don’t allocate me to give chemo but I won’t be telling anyone else until 12 wks. I do feel bad but it’s self preservation just in case!!x

FannyTheFlamingo · 26/12/2017 06:29

Morning! Please can I join you? Got my bfp yesterday, haven't told anyone, not even DP! Due 31st Aug. Pretty sure that my dates will make it beginning of Sept, but will have an elcs which will probably take me back into Aug. Congratulations everyone.

Gizzymum · 26/12/2017 07:24

Morning and congratulations @FannyTheFlamingo . What a lovely Christmas present!

Any plans on how/when you're going to tell your DP? I'm still on the mumsnet group from my last baby so they all found out first when I posted a picture of my first test for their opinion of whether it was a BFP or not 😂. DH found out a day later after 2 more tests, via text as he was at work.

amzq87 · 26/12/2017 08:43

Welcome @Poppy1324 and @FannyTheFlamingo - congratulations!!

Hope you all had lovely Christmas Day's - we told the 'rents (both sets as they were both here) yesterday and it was as amazing as we hoped. We did them both a little reveal card (me and DH both designed our own) to open at the same time then there were tears and hugs Smile still getting a bit tears remembering.

Slightly different reveal today - off to see my sister for a little bit. She lost her baby at 9 weeks this time last year and it needs a little more delicacy so I'm telling her on her own and letting her process it. I think she will still be happy but hopefully as she's on her own, she won't feel like she HAS to put a brave face on if she does get upset.

Hope you all have lovely relaxing boxing days! X

Babydreaming · 26/12/2017 08:49

@fannytheflamingo what a lovely surprise for Christmas Day!!

Hope everyone had a lovely christmas.

I’ve been looking at maternity jeans in the sale as I feel like my jeans are already getting tight and might as well get them whilst they are on sale! Last time I had a really comfy pair from top shop that I wore throughout so was hoping some would be on offer but there’s none in my size :( any recommendations of other shops that do good maternity jeans?

CumbrianExile · 26/12/2017 09:04

Hope it goes well telling your sister amzq87.

We told my parents yesterday, DM starting crying with happiness, DF moaned that there would be three birthdays close together Grin. He did then text to apologise and say he was really happy just shocked!

How long are the sore boobs supposed to last? Maybe I didn't notice as much last time, but I said earlier that DS was extra clingy to me, and he keeps giving me hugs, which whilst lovely, really hurt!
