I'm feeling bleurrgghhh!

Weeping at any provocation (or none) here too.

And nausea eurgh.

I'm 8 weeks now and there is absolutely no doubt - I'm feeling movement very occasionally (2nd time, so I'm remember the sensation from last time). It's not like bubbles. It is like a very small fish flapping against my skin from the inside. Lizards, fish - an exciting set of offspring we fab febbers are planning!

[I'm on the list as Hopingforasecond but I am done with namechanging]

We went for a long walk around the woods and I feel better now although absolutely exhausted. Dh is making us a roast dinner, yum!

Incubating a reptile- ha! My dreams have been very freaky. Last night I dreamt I was ironing outside my front door as we had run out of room inside our house! I think I may be slightly anxious about fitting the little one in our box room.

Had sad phonecall from my mum- my cousin who is due the week after me is having a very bad time with her husband. I think she might leave and she is very sad and confused. I think she feels another baby would make the whole situation worse as he was a shit to her during her first pregnancy. Poor thing

Well still sick and tired.

However also seem to be losing weight. I'm not eating loads due to sickness but not skipping meals or anything. Was about 9st 5 last week, now about 9st 2. Is this a huge problem or not a big deal??

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

LittleSarah my mum mentioned to me last week that she only put on 6lbs during her pregnancy with my brother as she had such awful nausea so couldn't eat - it was then the same with me and my sis - and we are all fine... If you do get really thin or are worried though would be worth a trip to the GP and they can advise you ??....I am feeling nauseous but keep nibbling at carbs to alleviate (nausea/hunger) but am concerned that I'll be the size of a house by the end of it !!....

Hi everyone, have been keeping up to date with the thread but haven't posted in a while as have been SO knackered. Am just about doing the minimum at work / around the house before collapsing into bed the same time as DD.

I told my parents last weekend and a couple of friends have guessed as my not drinking is a sure sign in my case.

I have booking in with the midwife this week, she might be a bit surprised when I tell her I'll only be 9 weeks as someone offered me their seat on the bus the other day and a woman in the park asked me when I'm due .

I is any consolation Littleboyblue and Herbgarden I got asked when the baby was due by a very nice and well meaning lady who I'd met a couple of times on the day I actually found out I was pregnant with no2! Was wearing a tunic dress and my belly wasnt even bulging at all (honest) but left me feeling part miffed/part spooked ... Oh how I laughed (after I'd binned the tunic dress of course) ...

People are just so rude aren't they herbgarden. Tinksmum, I won't mind showing after scan on tues when we see that the hearts started beating and its ok. I'm very worried. I'm still trying to distance myself a bit until risks of m/c drop, IYKWIM.

I don't buy into there being a safe point in pregnancy. I make sure people know from the start so I have a support network already and I don't hide it because I don't feel I'm ever safe.

My CMW said to me the other day that people ask when they can go shopping, she said "when the baby is here"!

I completely agree about the support network, and I've told nearly everyone, and of course anything can happen at any time so not 100% safe. I mentioned before that I m/c 7/8 weeks ago which was the third time so am just a bit wary I suppose.

I know what you mean. I mc'd at 8 weeks, next time was difficult "get to 8 weeks, I'll be fine" "get past 12 weeks I can breathe" then went into labour at 20 weeks. Next time, whole pregnancy was totally numb. I didn't believe I was going to have a baby at the end, not until I held it. To then have a GA really screwed with my head!

Now, feeling totally normal (apart from my back is playing up already) I can't accept that I am pregnant. I guess it will be better when I start having regular scans and seeing the baby all the time, but maybe I'll just have to wait till the baby is born.

Gosh. The whole thing is just so scary. I suppose in a way I'm quite lucky that I haven't been through anything like you have had to.
Hope everyhting goes well for you. A friend of mine had her 1st ds at 29wks and the 2nd at 25 wks. Sadly the 2nd didn't survive. I think of her sometimes and it gives me a mental slap in the face and tells me to get a grip, you know?

I know, but it's still losing a loved life how ever old they are. If we start putting a value on life where does it stop? My SIL lost a baby at 6 weeks, my aunt died at 30 years. Is Grandma's loss more than my SIL and her's more than mine? We all grieve for what we had or should have had.

Hi DD1ofcolandgerry, I think you may have done what I did and copied from the older list - try this (and ginormous apologies if this confuses things further).

lol if I'm not at the top it's the wrong list!

I'm getting very confused by it because I keep seeing posts on the "threads I'm on" preview where I'm the first thing someone says and I have to look along to check they're not talking to me.

Oh, haha tink about the top of the list.
I still think of them on what would have been the due dates and wonder what they'd be like.
But if the first 2 had gone all the way, I wouldn't have ds now, that makes it all so much easier.

Morning! There is now a due March 09 list - woo! We are not the last ones anymore!

Lets see if theirs gets as big as ours....

Oh. Bye then Markstretch. Goodluck with it all and make sure you let us all know when your lo arrives. Take care. X

Markstretch isn't flouncing off to March - she's having her little reptile on Feb 9th!

Oh. Miss read that. Having an idiot moment. Sorry!

I'm still here! Just means there is now a list of people less pregnant than us, and that makes me feel more pregnant (with a lizard).

I am weraing stretchy trousers today. I can't bear anything on my stomach at the moment.

Yes, I've just seen it. Mad isn't it? Don't mind me, I'm having one of those days already and have just got myself into a little row on here if the other person replies. I'm so angry.

Don't let the hormones rule your life littleboyblue (easier said than done). Breathe, relax, big pinch of salt.

I'm wearing big, stretchy pants today too and wondering whether I'm 6, 7 or more weeks.

It's not hormones, honest. It's one of those breast v formula thing and this person has decided it's her pklace to say something quite mean about my choice not to b/f. It just makes me angry as sites like this are supossed to give us support and I think if you can't say anything nice or supportive then you should just n ot say anything at all.
