Hi Sambrads, that's great news about your cousin. Bless her being worried about telling you. She must be so pleased to hear your preggers too. Sorry to hear you were sick over the dishes. It must be whole the hormones from the twins you might be carrying

I'm not feeling many symptoms myself. Although did feel cramps on and off yesterday which must have been my ligaments stretching.

loulou33 · 30/01/2008 10:13

Morning Sambrads, great news about your cousin but how spooky is that - you must be psychically linked!!

I felt really sick this morning too, not helped by having to change a toddler's pooey nappy at 8am. I have no idea how i managed without throwing up on him - bless..

sambrads · 30/01/2008 10:28

Hi ladies!

Just found out on Monday, Im around 5 weeks so due end of sept beg oct!

Very much a surprise pregnancy and i have spent the first two days in tears worrying how I will cope! My baby isnt one for another 2 weeks yet and I have a 5 year old boy who never shuts up.

Im on heparin injections daily because of recurrent mc and I have my first scan tomorrow!!!

I am so so tired, if i sit down for long enough i fall asleep and my DS is being a buggar and refusing to nap !

ronshar · 30/01/2008 11:56

Morning.

I felt sick all last week before I tested but now it seems to have passed. I didn't have any sickness with my 2DD's so hopefully this one will be the same. I do have big breasts though. I have already had to dig out a bigger bra! How bad is that. I am only 4+2. I shall fall over soon if they keep growing like this.
How is everyone else today?

ronshar · 30/01/2008 11:57

Maybe you are having twins the same as Sambrads

SydneyB · 30/01/2008 11:58

Welcome Jules !

I'm not feeling sick yet but getting loads of cramps and twinges which I am hoping are just ligaments stretching etc. Wasn't sick until about 7 weeks with DD and to be honest keep forgetting I'm actually pg!

fairydust2 · 30/01/2008 12:23

Hi Jules - congratulations!

Ronshar - I'm 4+2 today and feeling huge too!

As far as sickness goes, I'm starting to feel a little sick today.

sambrads · 30/01/2008 12:42

girls dont you go jinxing me saying im having twins!!!!!!!!

although if i go next thursday and i hear that it is not twins i think i might be a wee bit disappointed

julezboo my cousin who told me she is preggars has a 2 year old a 8 month and now 5 weeks she will defo have her hands full hahaha

try and get rest when you can go out and buy your son some dvds my ds loves them or try lying down with loads of books to look at that way your ds is quiet and you get a break

Afternoon everyone. No symptoms to speak of here, but I didn't have any in first trimester with dd either.

Good luck with the scan tomorrow Julez.

stinkybear · 30/01/2008 14:50

Hi, can I join this thread? Have just tested and got a BFP and am so pleased as did cheapo yesterday and was BFN, despite being 4 days late. I think I'm due on the 4th of October. Blimey -- I feel a bit stunned now, having just typed that! Don't feel even slightly sicky yet, so am really impressed by the folk with symptons already!! This will be number 3 for me if all goes well, but will have a big gap, so feel like I have forgotten everything (or maybe being an airhead is my first pregnancy sympton???).

sambrads · 30/01/2008 16:25

hi ya stinkybear of course you can join

one minute i feel so pregnant the next im like are you sure haha

so what age are you 2 kids???

i ahve a 16month ds who is nuts at the minute but love him very dearly

i take it you need to buy everything again

stinkybear · 30/01/2008 18:57

Hi Sambrads! Are you the potential twin-producer??! Hmmm, 16 month olds boys are pretty full on, aren't they? My boys drive me nuts continually, but yes, still love 'em

I have DS1 who is 9 and DS2 is 5! I'm pretty sure folk (well, my mother) will think I'm crazy for going back to it all again, but just really felt it was right. Am sort of hoping that this will be a girl, so at least I can say I would have had to buy new stuff anyway!! I'm determined not to get caught up buying so much stuff this time again anyway (mainly because we can't afford it, but partly because I bought so much stuff that was pure faff before!!). Have you kept all your baby gear nicely? Oh, now I'm on this thread it feels a bit more real ...

SydneyB · 30/01/2008 19:13

Evening everyone - welcome stinkybear! I have over the course of the day expanded so that the skirt I was wearing this morning no longer fits me this eve. HOW am I going to keep this secret at work until 12 weeks??? Didn't show really for months with DD but jeez if I'm like this at 4 + 5... Also felt a little queasy this eve after not eating much today but nothing like the full on voms I got from 7 weeks last time. Praying I get off a bit easier this time as was sick from 7 weeks pretty much all the way through!

minervaitalica · 30/01/2008 19:54

yes me!!!

Just recovering from the shock really, as this was a bit of an accident... But we are now really happy if a bit worried as it would be our first and do not know what to expect.

I am seeing doctor/nurse next week - what are they likely to talk to me about then? What should I ask? What do I need te read before then????? so many questions help!

CantSleepWontSleep · 30/01/2008 20:23

Congrats minerva. The doctor probably won't do anything except fill out a form or two and get the ball rolling for your exemption card.

When you have your first midwife appointment, she will normally take some history - details of cycle length and LMP date, family sickness history (diabetes, heart probs etc), and will tell you the due date that they will work to.

She will also probably advise you on stuff to avoid eating and talk about which hospital you will use.

Can't remember if you need to take a urine sample to your first appointment, but certainly can't hurt to avoid being asked to do one whilst there.

Not sure why you would be seeing a nurse, unless your practice uses them to take some of the history.

You don't need to read anything, and with access to MN there's prob very little that you need to ask .

If you haven't already been doing so, then do start taking folic acid daily though.

SydneyB · 30/01/2008 20:37

Gosh, I made it to 8.37 tonight. Bed!

hedgepig · 30/01/2008 21:07

evening everyone. I see we have a nice range of symptoms, my boobs have grown; which is a bit of a worry cos I already am at the upper end of bravissimo .
No sickness yet maybe it won't be as bad this time

ronshar · 30/01/2008 21:21

I have a new symptom.

I cant eat chocolate. What am I going to do. Help me.. I feel sick as I type due to too much caramel bar. You know the big one on offer in Sainsburys. I have three more in the cupboard.

loulou33 · 30/01/2008 21:35

Poor you Ronshar on the other hand, pass them to me and i'll eat them, i'm in a hungry phase right now. I had huge dinner at 8pm and ate several biscuits about 10 mins later, now feeling peckish again.... give me the chocolate

hedgepig · 30/01/2008 21:39

Ronshar I was like that with my 1st pregnancy every time I ate anything rich I threw up so no chocolate, curry etc for 9 months. I have spent the last 4 years making up for lost time

ronshar · 30/01/2008 22:00

Nice try ladies but the chocolate is mine I tell you. I shall keep trying.
I remember with DD1 I couldn't stanf the smell of a roast dinner cooking. It didnt matter what meat it was the smell would make me heave!
I am not hungry at all I am just being a pig this evening. So it has taught me a lesson I suppose

ronshar · 30/01/2008 22:03

Right I should have gone to bed ages ago. This tired feeling is sooooooo boring.
Night
