beansprout - 4+4, ds 2.7y, due 1st Feb
Egg - 4+3, DS 15 months, Due 4 Feb

Beansprout - did you look at my profile or have you seen the Zappata thread? A Zappata is someone who has a more than mild interest in the Zapp buggy, especially orange ones. It started when they were selling them for £75 at boots.com and a few of us got one thanks to a thread that was started, then we enjoyed all chatting so we keep up our daily chat now on that thread. We have already exceeded the limit on one thread and are nearing the end on another. I think we have too much time on our hands so we talk mindlessly throughout the day.

Sorry, perhaps that was a bit too long winded .

If you want to see a pic of my DS in his lovely orange Zapp, have a look at Squonk's profile (I cannot get a pic on mine despite various attempts).

Oh, and I AM STILL PREGNANT! Sorry, has not quite sunk in yet...

am just adding a post so if anyone wants to see egg's ds in her zapp they don't have to come and find me

hi again girls, nice to see more new joiners - hope i've picked up the right stats thread to add to?

dearbeatrice - 4+1 (is that right? my last af started 30 april) this is my first - due approx 7 feb too

feeling really scared tonight; have dull back ache and although i still feel sicky, have sore boobs, i made the mistake of checking my cervix and i think it's gone 'hard' - which usualy happens before af.

is anyone else feeling like af will still come? i tested early and now wish i hadn't

Thanks squonk!

DearBeatrice - I have been feeling like AF is coming since Friday, a bit of crampy pain, a bit of backache, a bit sick, some stitch-like pains, it is still there a bit, but not as bad since I have stopped stressing that I might NOT actually be pregnant! I think I was making it worse. I do remember having AF-type pains for a fair few weeks with DS too.

hi Egg thanks for the reassurance; i've just done a quick search and see that it's to be expected. good point re the stressing making it worse.

am intrigued by the orange zapp buggies now i'm severely lacking inmy knowledge of baby kit stuff

The Zapp is not much good for a newborn. Although it can take the maxi cosi car seat from newborn, I have heard they tip quite easily like that so are best for an older baby / toddler. Oooh you will get to do all the pram research now! I am very as I have to use the same as before (Jané Slalom Pro, it is great but weighs a TONNE). If you need any pram advice, look for Misdee, she has tried them all!

omg, a feb thread already!!! congratulations everyone

congratulations all of you!
dd will be 1 on 1st feb 08!

Ahhhh, I see! I feel I like I have now been initiated into the way of the Zap (and thank you to Squonk for making it so easy!)
Have always tried to stay away from pram upgrades as I can see it getting v expensive but can't see ye olde M&P Pliko notching up another 3 years service so may well be forced into some research.

And, apparently, I am still pregnant too!!

DearBeatrice - I know exactly how you feel. These early weeks are very scary. It has taken us a year to conceive and the thought of going back to square one is very depressing. I have decided not to temp or do any more tests on the basis that they won't save me and I'll just go mad in the meantime, but it is very difficult to resist the temptation to try to reassure myself. The bummer is that all the v pregnancy symptoms are the same as the pre-menstrual ones so it's impossible to know what's what. I am trying to let go and trust which is not easy for a neurotic control freak . Hope you are ok.

can i tentatively join af not due for a few days but got a faint bfp today im terrified and sure that things will go wrong but just had to tell someone before i implode!

Well still no af so still keeping fingers crossed. Just hoping the bfn I had yesterday will suddenly become a bfp.

Hi scaredtobits. Welcome! Try not to be too scared [she says, being terrified herself that something will go wrong]. How many weeks / days do you think you are?

Tegan fingers crossed, if no AF yet that's good news!

BTW Beansprout, you DEFINITELY need a new pram. I think I do too .

i'll be 4w at the w/end. im a namechanger im afraid, just dont want to jinx it tbh

I was looking at prams today and I don't want to jinx it either

Don't feel pregnant and waiting for someone to say it is all a horrible mistake... when should the pregnancy symptoms start?

SO badly want this baby to stick!

I don't feel pregnant either, except for the occasional AF type pains now. Last time had sore and "itchy" boobs, nothing like that yet. I am worried about jinxing but am satisfying my urge to shout it from the rooftops by announcing it on here and keeping quiet in RL.

No symptoms here either, apart from some low level cramping. Did another test this morning just to make sure. A few weeks of this could drive a girl a bit mad. Wibble.

feeln very depressed, i really thought i was pregnant, did test a couple of days and it was neg. i thought it was too early... unfortunatly my period has arrived this afternoon i really thought i was...i had 4 straight days of nausua and my tums been very painful. oh well, good luck to all you ladies already here and fingers crossed i'll be on next months!!

Hi ladies can i join you all? I'm new to mumsnet and due 1st of Feb 2008.
I'm looking forward to a happy 8 months.

Welcome to agr1y and scaredtobits.

So, insomnia not going to be a problem for me this time round then...
