DUE OCTOBER 08 ANYONE ELSE ONLY FOUND OUT??????

[sambrads]

HELLO ALL JUST FOUND OUT IM PREGNANT AND I AM SO SO EXCITED!!!!!

THIS WILL BE MY SECOND BABY AND I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR MONTHS AND NOW ITS REALLY HAPPENING!!![GRIN]

Told 2 of my close friends today but my excuse is that they will be at a wedding with me on Saturday and I will never manage to hide my not drinking from them.

Symptoms for me are mainly around the extremely sore boobs but DH thinks they are larger already so is very happy . Trying not to eat too much but am super dizzy which makes my daily commute on the tube intersting. I have become very good at spotting the empty seats and moving at speed to get to them!

Enjoy your sweet treats everyone.

Spink - that's interesting what you say about itchy skin. I've been itching a fair bit, on my back, arms and chest, have some little red bumps. Started to wonder if we had bed bugs, but maybe it's just another weird pregnancy symptom. I'm finding all but the softest fabrics are itching my skin.

Weird...

I developed a rare form of excema called Dyshidrosis on my hands and feet during last pregnancy and it eventually cleared (after using steroid creams which I hated doing) when ds was about 4 months.

Guess what I found this morning ... small blisters on the side of my foot. I could have wept as last time the scratching would keep my awake and my poor hands were sore and bleeding by the end of it. How odd though that skin complaints are so common to pregnancy.

I thought I was supposed to be glowing right now?!? My ar*e glowing - I look like a fraggle.

Happy Valentine's to you all.

Hi Spink Glad you're ok. I was really interested to hear your thoughts on early scans. I'm hoping to get a dating scan and I just want an early scan to make sure there is a heartbeat.

Hello to everyone else. All this talk of sweet stuff....I had a jam doughnut & chocolate heart cake yum, glad Im not the only one.

evening all too!

been busy few days at work - my boss made some some comment about the baby boom - (there's 2 + 1 dad due in june and july out of a team of 15)and told me I'd better not "fall" too. I tried so hard not to smile. He was joking but know he'll find it difficult when I tell him as there's so many plans for this year.

got scan date for 26th March and booking apt for 2nd April.

very tired too but nowt else to ride home about.

just like to thank spink as I got a BFP yesterday, and believe its mainly down to you! THANK YOU XXX
(I'm not going to join this thread until I am at least 7 weeks as I M/C the last 2 pregnancies at 6+ weeks)

Leaving you off til you're ready Emmsy.

good morning ladies and hello to all the new arrivals

emmsy its nice to see your joining us trom the ttc thread cant believe how many of us are here

is anyone finding it hard to pick a double buggy??????

i cannot decide what i want . should i go for something that folds up well in the car or something comfortable for walking with??

i have seen so many with phil and teds but not sure if i want to go there as i dont like the thought of having the newborn underneath

has anyone got any advice ????

Thanks for the update CSWS the list has really grown I'm just waiting for someone to come along with a due date later than mine, I've known for soooo long

Welcome to agtb & Mum2J

Hi Emmsy hope to see you here "officially" soon

Hi sam Blimey you're getting organized thinking of prams/pushchairs I don't need to worry about double buggies but two of my friends have got "JANE" buggies with one infront of the other.

One friend swears by it but the other found it VERY heavy to push, the actual buggy was heavy before the children got in it, she only used it for a couple of months and sold it.

Another friend got a basic side by side and seems to be getting on very well with it.

sambrands - i am the same already looking at double buggies, there are pros and cons wiht both. the side by side ones are harder to manouvre esp through narrow doors! the jane pro i liked but i have seen another called zoom which is not out til March but is gorgeous as well as a huge price tag!! i love my current pram cum pushchair and was thinking of having baby strapped to me and having my boddler in it then when he is walking have baby in pram but then when little man gets tired i cant carry him!! oh decisions decision!!

myjobismum - at last symptoms!!! yay i felt sick this morning and on and off yesterday and find that constantly eating is keeping the worst at baby! stocked up on pot noodles in my office!! i know i wanted symptoms but wy the bloody sickness!! mind you what symptoms are nice?? already constipated with piles!!!

I'm thinking of a combination of buggy board and sling instead of a double pushchair. I just don't want to fork out a load of money and I can't see me being able to navigate a double around here. There are plenty of times when I'm grateful that I picked a narrow single.

I'm still not convinced I'm PG, by the way.

And blimey, aren't there a lot of us here!

Morning everyone. Just 6 weeks along and had my first scan this morning and there was a heartbeat. DH and I are now allowing ourseleves to get a little excited. it otherwise. Having another scan in 2 weeks where hopefully we will get the same result and I can allow myself to relax a wee bit.

Hi and congratulations to agatb and jakeyroo.

Lozza70 - fantastic news about your scan!! Congratulations!

Bethoo - guess what? Same symptoms here
again! I have run to the loo several times this morning thinking I'm about to throw up. Luckily not got the latter of your symptoms.
