anyone here yet?

Yay!!! You must be so relieved Trying! How lovely Are your dates all ok?

here iam

i have been shopping with my bday next gift cards
ye trying for scan

Glad your scan went well Tryingnottoobsess. I had some bleeding with my pregnancy with DS and had two early scans and all was fine - they said it sometimes just happens for no reason. Its lovely to see the little heartbeat isn't it?

That's great news Trying! Tink Happy Birthday! You will think i'm strange but i am jealous you are 30! I have a while to go yet until i am

My only worry with the aqua natal classes this early is that everyone will have big bumps, then i will trot on in looking not very pregnant at all!

My dp on my nausea; "You can't let it rule your life!"

MsSparkle - how did you respond to that comment? I think it would have triggered a massive mood swing in me

MsSparkle show him this way....

Happy birthday Tink, perhaps I should be jealous that you're only 30.

Grr at unsympathetic partners and husbands.

There is one advantage to second time around, small age gap, for those you don't want to tell yet, you can blame tiredness at least on DC1.

He has suffered for it since

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TINK!!!!

Hope you have a lovely day!

I was fecking miserable on my 30th, i have never recovered

Hi everyone,

Just been catching up with the thread -- glad everything was okay, moosemama.

Have gone from feeling really elated to feeling a bit depressed at how tired I am all the time everyone says this will end so I'm hanging on in there, but seriously, it's like I've been drugged. Am sleeping for 10 or 11 hours a night, cancelling all social plans, but still feel sick with tiredness by about 6pm so much that I can barely eat. Usually I'm really fit and go to lots of yoga and pilates classes, but haven't had the energy/ motivation. How much longer will this go on for?!

It doesn't help that I have a crazy job -- working tonight from 5pm till 5-6am. My bosses know I'm pg because I knew the hours might be a problem, but to say that it's not a 'family-friendly' industry is an understatement! (tv) Apart from an initial forced 'congratulations', they've made no further reference to my situation. Does anyone have any tips on how to get the message across?

sorry for long rant!

happy birthday tink!

poor you missj that sounds like a real bummer. I'm feeling exactly the same but am only working around 15 hours a week! then again, I am also looking after a small toddler, which is a 70hpw job.

it is worth trying to do small bits of exercise regularly (walks) as it really helps with state of mind and tiredness I find. plus its gorgeous out there today (well, it is in London).

Happy birthday Tink!!!

We will need a new thread soon!

missjackson they have to do a risk assessment for you, there are some guidelines for employers on the internet

Evening all, very quiet so far tonight. Hope all well?

I keep checking the post for my scan letter from the hospital. Does anyone know whether in London you get them after your booking appt or if its independent, once you've told your doctor?

Shall we do a list of scan dates too so we can all get excited about a closer date? Obviously I can't start it, not having a ruddy date yet

Sorry didn't mean to post that 4 times!

fourlittlefeet, I was sent separate letters for first midwife's appointment and first scan from the hospital after seeing the doctor. I think the scan was before the first midwife's appt but I might be wrong about that - also we went on holiday when I was 10 weeks so that may have changed the dates I was given.

Where are you planning to have your baby? Do you know?

in norfolk they send you a scan date after the first MW appointment at 8 weeks. She said its for about three weeks afterwards. they scan between 8 - 14 weeks for dating scan. i had my MW this week so i have about three weeks to wait for the scan.

went to a childrens farm today and there were signs everywhere warning about touching lambs and goats if you are pregnant. there were lambs everywhere about 70% of the stock was lambs or sheep or goats, so i spent alot of time handwashing. my little girl kept touching them and then holding my hand. unfortunately i have to go there on a school trip again next week. i wonder what the risks are?

Evening all (well you're probably all asleep by now)

Happy birthday Tink.
Mel - Not sure of the risk but you're probably fine if you wash thoroughly straight after.
of those having holidays. Thinking of sorting something for when this tiredness goes. Can't see me being dragged around anywhere at the moment.

Have tried to keep up the running but struggling for motivation now. If I'm not out by 8am its already getting too hot here. I'm hiding out in the air con most of the day. Will have to get walking soon but I find it boring without anyone to walk with.

Anyone having weird dreams? I don't remember them this early with ds. Probably just more disturbed due to having to get up every night to pee.

scan dates:

MsSparkle - 16th June
tink - 16th of june

8 weeks tom
