Calling all first timers due end April/beginning May.......

[macaco]

Anyone else out there just pregnant with their first? Perhaps like me feeling like it's still a bit unreal?

buuuuump.

Hello - yes, I am due April 21st and it does seem quite unreal. Great though! Keeping it from most people is soooo hard. Have you told lots of people?

Not a sausage...you? Feel like people (specially my mum) will somehow magically guess, which is just silly. Might tell my mum quite soon, maybe next week, but no one else for now. No one has officially told me a due date but on the pregnancy calendars on the net it comes up as 26th April. Spring baby! Congratulations by the way.

is it really only the two of us? Come on ladies

Hello girlies,

My first time too and I am due on the 27th or so.

Told my mum and dad the other day, my dad wasnt best pleased - called me a stupid girl but at least it was much better than what he called my brother!!! He really isnt a baby person at all. That was the end of conversation with my dad, but my mum reacted better than my dad and said she knew - how I have no idea as I dont even live in the same country as them!

Hello!!! I am a first timer and due on the 6th May. Very very very excited. DH can't get it head around it and needs something to happen. I have an appointment to see the doctor on 10th September so looking forward to that. I thought last night my nips were getting sensitive, but think ti was just wistful thinking.

We are not planning to tell anyone for a while. We are going abroad to a wedding at the start of Oct and might tell my friend, as hardly ever see her. Want to tell the world though!

Overexcited WW

At last, some more people, was feeling a bit lonely. I've told my mum this week but she said she reckoned I was anyway. I'm glad I told her as 2 days later morning sickness kicked in and I couldn't have hidden that anyway. Not actually been sick but feel queasy from dawn til dusk. Anyone else suffering?

Hello again,

I dont feel sick sick yet, just queasy at times, dizzy, and slightly tender boobs. Nothing yet, it worries me to have no real symptoms.

I am hoping that my belly is that used to my really really bad cooking and self-inflicted food poisoning, that I dont get sick, it is not something I am looking forward to at all!

Are you all really excited, but at the same time extremely extremely worried?

Shell

Don't worry about having no symptoms...enjoy it. I'm not sick but feel queasy all the time which is quite debilitating really. Other than that I don't have any symptoms really...some cramps from time to time. Thank goodness you've said you're worried. I'm terrified! I'm excited but.. more terrified I think. I think I'm still getting used to the idea that I'm going to have a baby in about 8 months. Even saying that doesn't sound real.

Hi Macaco,

I know exactly what you mean!!!

Worried and petrified express what we mean to say, but there are no actual words that describes it better!

I was quite lucky as had a scan today and when the doc said that it was in the right place, I said that that was one less thing to worry about, whats next???

Hope you have a great weekend.

Hiya macaco-sorry for not getting back to you but I have not had time to go on Mumsnet for a few days. How are you feeling? I am very very emotional - just cried in bed listening to the last song on the new Chem Bros album because it was so beautiful??!! And one minute I am tired and silet, then the next I am hyper and happy! Weird! And Shell - that is exactly how I feel - excited and happy then really worried too. A friend at work came round with her scan photos yesterday (she is 14 weeks) and I was so happy for her I cried (prob due to my hormones) especially as she had a miscarriage in Dec. So I told her that I am almost 7 weeks, and we are now really excited about having bumps at work together. Although I know that getting to that 12 week milestone is so important.......Anyone else craving cheese - obviously not the soft/blue kind. I just want to eat cheddar/gouda/edam, etc. all the time!!! And carbs!

I've been quite emotional actually and today I'm so tired I feel like I've been hit by a bus. Having bloods done on Monday and will be glad to see results in case I'm anaemic...might explain the extreme tiredness, although I know that's a symptom too. I think I'm getting a handle on the queasiness. No cravings for me, hard to feel like eating anything really, although I feel better if I do. Sometimes I feel so worried (about everything) I think, dear god, what have I done? But I think that's normal, right? I suppose there are a lot of hormones racing around. Finding it hard to get excited at the mo, just worried and queasy. Hope you both have a nice weekend.

Macaco - I know what you mean - have been thinking What have I done? a bit too, just because I feel quite terrible at times. It is really, really hard not telling people at work I am finding. I was really, really emotional on Sat and cried six times in total! Twice in the evening after getting measured for new bras in M & S earlier that day. Was a 36 B and am now a ........... 38 D! I am very shocked and a bit freaked out about the size of my breasts and worry that I look massive all over. My DH is being very supportive and says I look great with my new big chest!!! He loves them!!

So, how are all you ladies today?

Ssshhhh about the boobs! Mine woke me up this morning! Absolute agony! I had a biopsy earlier this year and even then they didnt hurt this much! Even standing up, they tug. Got to go and find some nice comfy bras. Not so sure they are growing, but defnitely getting a bit fuller!

Apart from that, I have a super-spidey-sense-of-smell! You know them plug-in airwicks jobbies? Well, I got one on the side here, it is empty and it isnt plugged in, but every now and then I can smell it! I have been hunting all round the flat, but I only have that one!

No sickness, a little queasiness. A couple of times I thought it might get worse, but not just yet. I am hoping it dont get all that bad! Feel tired in the afternoons, but still cant sleep at night. (Bit of an insomniac)

Why is it that time dragging? Anyone else experiencing that?

Catch you later girlies.

Shell

I totally know what you mean about time dragging. Hellish. I just don't know how I am going to resist telling everyone for five more weeks till I am 12 weeks. It is soooo hard at work keeping it from everyone when I am feeling so unwell. I am finding it really hard to eat my breakfast and evening meal, even when I eat what I really want (ie something cheesy!) The only time I really want to eat is at lunch time. Anyone else feeling like this with regards to meal times?

I don't really have any meal times at all as I never feel like eating. I'm forcing down my breakfast as I write. I'm not eating much at all but I don't feel hungry and actually feel bloated. I think I may have to tell my line manager soon as he 's going to ask me to do some mornings (currently doing afternoons) and there's just no way. Also going to have to tell in laws as going to see them this weekend and no way I can hide the sickness. Can't wait for this to stop.
