Morning everyone,
Wow, even more new recruits. Congratulations. There is a Googledoc you can add yourself to if you wish to (on the first page if I remember correctly)
Right, now it is time to catch up....
@Beckanne90 great news that sickness has started - it is reassuring isn't i.
@StargazyDrifter I agree with catching up with friends, it is so hard to stay awake without the aid of caffeine or alcohol. Re boob increase, I think that is very exaggerated - mine only grew slightly in all of my pregnancies. With the two children I had successfully they never ever got that big (but are pretty small anyway)
@pancakes22 I have felt this too but obviously it is our mad digestive systems going bonkers with all these extra hormones. I actually had a constant flick flick flick feeling inside the other day which, if I was a lot further on, I would have assumed was the baby but I think it was a nerve really deep inside me.
@FocusBear I felt the same about imagining this pregnancy, even with the most subtle symptoms it is still hard to believe it until you see it on the screen at your first scan. That is when it really sinks in!
@BellaNutella88 I'm not sure about self referring as the GP refers us here but I am seeing the midwife for the first time on Tuesday when I'll be (now revised) 6+6. Re exercise, uugghh I am so nervous about it, only because I kept on running and going to the gym when my MMC so I (very irrationally) blame that for our loss along with so many other things that would have had no bearing at all. This time around I am terrified to move. I feel like a walking time bomb and DP won't let me do anything either (which I am kind of taking advantage of!). Don't listen to me though, like I say, I'm a completely irrational nervous wreck!
@Laburna I cannot fit in my jeans either, I have resorted to a bump band from Jojomaman or leggings. My tummy is huge, especially as the day progresses. However, now I am less pregnant than I thought I was I'm kind of 
. I'm with you on the needing snacks, I keep waking really early feeling a mixture of nauseous and hunger and having to eat breakfast really early - normally I wouldn't eat until 9ish, later at the weekends.
@TheScaredyKat My boobs have been aching on and off. When they ache I am confident all is okay, then the next day it stops and I'm freaking out. Seems to be a bit of a theme for me. I think our hormones fluctuate so some days we don't feel pregnant at all and other days we have ALL the symptoms.
@Toria73 I think brown spotting is okay as it's old?
I can safely say I am feeling a lot better about things today. I'm thinking about telling the DC tonight when they come back from their father's house. I'm not sure how much longer I am keep it from them, I'm bound to slip up at some point soon and I don't want them to find out that way. Plus I need them to know that they can't cause me any stress and why.
This week we have so much going on. We've got a gig on Weds night which is standing! I'm not sure how I'll cope with that. It's been booked for ages and its at the Royal Albert Hall so that in itself is pretty special. But no drinking and no sitting.... Then DP are going to the Shiiine On Weekender next weekend (90's indie music weekend) where I would normally get totally wrecked and go mad. Plus it is a 5 hour drive! Should be interesting to see how that works out! I've been wanting to go for years and DP bought us tickets for xmas last year and it has cost hi a lot of money! I have been so excited to go so I don't want to miss it and there are some awesome bands playing, but aarrgghhh....
Happy Sunday everyone!
