Congrats to newbies
HappyBigLips - Have included you on the list

Well feeling cramping on and off still, and occassionally ache in back is this normal? I thought backache was alot further down the line Feeling more positive today, think work is helping (never thought I would say that). Still worry whenever I go to the toilet but I think that is going to happen however far I am.

Starlight - Sorry to hear about MC, and lets hope these little ones stick

[hopefully]

Whoops Starlight. Maybe make one and refuse to say what it's for? Can't believe they won't give you an appointment for 4 weeks!

Am feeling very un-symptomy today. A bit of pain in womb-ey type area, but nothing else really. I want more symptoms! Anyone had any kind of implantation bleeding? I've had nada. I do stilll have the boobs from hell. I think I may need to buy a new bra already - think I have grown out of the old ones. Is that even possible?

[meglet]

good afternoon everyone! The list is growing so fast! I still don't have any symptoms yet, but first time round it took a couple of weeks for the nausea to kick in so I won't worry yet.

deb i'm in basingstoke? Where are you?

Wow - look at me on here with all these southerners!!

Okay, tmi coming your way WHY CAN'T I JUST HAVE A POO, FFS???

I have been a lazy arsed cow this week, which is lovely and I'm dreading going back to work when I can't sleep for 12 hours a day. Actually, that is technically possible, but doesn't leave much time for anything else. But as I only live a 5 minute drive from where I work, I can see I am going to be the lightweight of the group!!

My boobs still really hurt - I read in bed by myself last night while DH got pissed and watched films (we're not always like this, but we're on holiday!) and he came up to see me as I was getting up for my millionth wee and just exclaimed "F*ing hell, you've got massive tits now!" Do you know what, ladies? - he's right!

Starlight I'm sure you're not the first patient at that GPs to lose it with pregnancy hormones - I would say that makes you absolutely normal. Four weeks seems like quite a long time, but we all know that they're just going to congratulate you and say that you shouldn't eat unpasturised cheeses - hardly seems worth it anyway!

Special welcome to Dragonheart was it your thread that I read about feeling wobbly about being pregnant? Glad you came to join us if it was - we can all feel wobbly together!

I feel like I'm talking to DH too much about being pregnant - I feel like Basil Fawltey with the Germans - "Don't mention the pregnancy. I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it." Anyway, he started it...

Sorry, feel a bit of a comedy turn today, but at least I've stopped crying. That was clearly the fault of Muppets from Space anyway...

[DebitheScot]

lol at everything in moderation except for hovvering (or hoovering maybe!!) and gardening. Tell me you're a doctor and I'll tkae that as official advice!
Actually gardening can be dodgy if there's any cat poo in your garden as you are meant to stay away from that.
I've taken a couple of sudafeds as I was in agony even though they said not to take them, hopefully they won't do any harm.

[hopefully]

Ahhhhh new bra. How is it even vaguely possible that my boobs have grown already? They are so much happier in their new bra though. It is possible that I just got fatter over christmas and am just fooling myself it's a cup size increase, not back fat!

My doc told me the same thing starlight and told me to carry right on with a very low dose allergy treatment I'm on. Mind you, he did seem slightly spaced out too...

I am so envious of your sleeping Excitable. I've got a meeting with my nice HR man in an hour or something. I didn't want to tell them I'm pregnant this soon, but the two hour commute (each way!!!!) is killing me, and I'm going to just be calling in sick a lot if I can't sort something out,so it has to be in their interests to help me out?

shell84 Have added you on the list.
Not telling people not going well as just told 2 friends at work and my headteacher. Think everyone will notice my huge stomach before 12 weeks anyway as I am sure its noticable already

[Excitable]

Yeah Starlight - my doctor wasn't very interested in my long cycles either. I guess it doesn't much matter as they never bloody come when they should, these babies.

Tell everyone if you feel like it Kirstygem - what exactly happens if you tell people anyway. If I do MC I want people to know why I'm walking round with a face like a smacked arse and to know that it might be good idea to give me a bit of space.

Hope your appointment with your HR man goes well, Hopefully. Do you have work that you can do from home occasionally?

[hopefully]

I'm a journalist, so my job is mostly writing, which I really feel able to do from home, since I actually work better in a quiet environment! I really hope he's understanding and can somehow force my dinosaur of a boss to let me work from home. Will let you all know this evening how it goes! (You're on the edge of your seats, I can tell.)

[lockets24]

starlight i cant believe you are only in Cheshunt..we are about 20/25 from there (if that!) small world! oh good reeeach on the drug fron too!
hopefully my boobs have def grown already but i was only tiny to start with dh thinks hes died and gone to heaven already i hope they understand, i have to tell my employers next week for similar reasons.
excitable i had the same prob..but buckets full of water and weetabix for breakfast seem to have solved my dilema!

xx

[lockets24]

we are in harlow (cheaper on the housing front!) we have been here 2 years and its not so bad!

[lockets24]

wish i had thought of that rule..my commute is bus,train(from Broxbourne)then tube! so have to go through waltham cross everyday!could not suvive my commute without the free papers..when i dont have a book!

[hopefully]

I have attempted to ban free papers from my life by buying improving books. it is a complete failure, as all i really want on the evil journey home is a mindless paper to read!

Went and saw my nice HR man, who was very understanding and supportive. He is arranging an appointment with the office occupational nurse (we actually have one. who'd a thunk it?) for next week and gave me loads of information on applying for flexible working. He said they couldn't really do an informal arrangement, but that HR would thoroughly support my formal request. It won't solve the immediate problem of exhaustion beyond all belief, but at least should get things moving in the right direction. Now I just have to write the perfect application that lays out all the reasons I need to work from home. None of which include me wanting a lie in, clearly. I'm scared I'll do it wrong!
