OK, it's way too early to test yet, and I'm probably tempting fate here, but I've got classic morning sickness, the dates are just about right, and I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant. And I've always wanted to start one of these due in threads .

And if the blue line winks at me in 10 days time, then I'll come clean and post under my real nickname.

Any one else?

mouseman · 15/04/2005 09:04

Hi, I have been to Dr and has confirmed EDD as 10th December. We have so many Dec birthdays, this is now going to be a hugely busy month for us -
DH 1st December
me 17th December
DD 29th December
You couldn't have planned it could you?!?

scully · 15/04/2005 09:27

Gosh Mouseman I thought it would be busy with my edd being 17/12 and dh's b'day being 12/12. Think you need to start b'day/xmas shopping now!!
Well I have lasted a whole week without telling anyone (except you guys!). Only being 5wks, dh would rather we wait, and so would I but the next few weeks will be difficult

Nemo1977 · 15/04/2005 09:29

welcome mouseman and u deffo have a busy xmas..lol
scully same here have told friends online but not people in 'real life'. Just dont want to curse ourselves yet..lol

quietlycautious · 15/04/2005 10:02

Congratulations mouseman - you sound like your in for a very very busy (and expensive) christmas - It will be fab!!

quietlycautious · 15/04/2005 10:13

it's very quiet here today

dramaqueen72 · 15/04/2005 10:55

same with me, i havent told anyone in 'rl' aside from dh. told my online friends of course!
nemo, despite your early bedtime i bet your tired today! sounds like adam and Mollie (my dd2) are made for each other!
i'm wondering how i'm going to keep this quiet for so long. i dont feel great already and surely at the first sign of sickness family will be thinking 'hmmmmm?' also this being my sixth pg/baby number four i will show early too. eek!
hows everybodys dh behaving about the news? mine is treading on eggshells around me and trying not to say the wrong thing........but this morning he asked 'whats the point of a six-eight wks scan, shouldnt we just see if we get to 12wks?' i tried to understand his line of thought but told him I really need to see the heartbeat as soon as i can to reassure myself. is he just being a tactless male or what!

dramaqueen72 · 15/04/2005 10:56

oh and thankyou for the stats. i have saved them so i can try and keep uptodate with whos due when..

scully · 15/04/2005 11:08

Our friends will pick up on it in the next few weekends, from me not drinking at the various social things we have planned...... We would have to be busy between now and 8 wks wouldn't we! And they now we've been trying since Dec so won't take much to put it all together
dh has been cool about it all, quite excited when I told him on Monday and would just like to keep it quiet a bit longer, but otherwise hasn't said much. Think it's too early days though for it to seem real to him yet though, although he did mention names the other night!
So how do you feel about twins goldenoldie??!!

Kitstar · 15/04/2005 11:36

Hello all! Thinking about detracting what I said yesterday? Opened the dishwasher this morning & the nausea struck with a vengeance & seems here to stay- do these things often start kicking in a the 6wk point? But just how the smell of warm clean dishes can make me feel so bad is a mystery!

It did make me realised how difficult this is going to be by myself- with no dh or other around there?s no option to delegate? As for telling people- there?s a whole other mine field? want to wait until the first scan, but means I haven?t felt able to tell friend about my relationship ending- as they?ll obviously want to know why and / or organise girly nights out to cheer me up etc- don?t think I could even stay up past 8pm at the mo and trying to persuade people that I?m not drinking due to a plausible non pregnancy related reason- just the thought exhausts me!!

Sorry- I know this isn?t a single mothers-to-be discussion, just me moaning- but thought my doing-it-alone grumbles might help take the edge of any ?tactless male? utterances you all may be experiencing!!

Kitstar · 15/04/2005 11:37

Hi and welcome to all newbies- December really is a popular time? or is that March!!!

quietlycautious · 15/04/2005 11:44

Kit,

could you not say that you split with your boyf as you caught him cheating - you've possible got a STD from him so the Dr has prescribed antibiotics to ward off any infections. Then use the fact that your on antibiotics to avoid alcohol????

Not sure this is the most harmonious solution!?!?!?! And I'm not actually sure if you'd get antibiotics for an STD!?!?!?

Worth a try though!!

Kitstar · 15/04/2005 12:03

Wow- what a great idea! You obviously aren?t suffering from ?baby-brain? QC!

Anti B?s would be prescribed for most STI?s? I should have thought of that- It?s a bit of a joke really, as I work as a sexual and reproductive health youth worker- funny how I spend my days telling young people these things, then manage to get knocked up myself!!

I hope my boss see the funny side of it when I have to tell the people I work with? Plummer and leaky taps spring to mind!

dramaqueen72 · 15/04/2005 12:25

LOL kit,I hope you get a good way fo telling friends. I'm sorry abotu grumbling about my dh, he does drive me mad but means well, so i know i'm lucky really.
I cannot tell anyone til at least after 8wk scan because we did that the first time had a m/c and having to go round and tell everyone, not just really close family, that the baby had died and I had to have an operation etc was awful. poor dh got lumbered with most of it and it knocked him sideways. so we must be quiet and discreet here somehow! just a few more weeks for us. or a month or so., omg, thats ages!
kit, yes 6wks seems to be a classic time to start really feeling sick. i hope youre doing okay with it!

Kitstar · 15/04/2005 12:53

Honey without grumbling and gossiping the world would be a very quiet and dull place! & along with being able to order two pudding and get seats on busses I?m led to believe that a bit of guilt free grumble time is our god given right for the next 7 and half months- my god, is that right? Only 7.5months or has my baby brain struck again?!

It?s nice to hear about everyone else?s different experiences? dh, families etc- but how those of you with little ones already are managing, I have no idea- getting myself up and dresses in the morning is enough of a struggle at the mo! But give me hope that this pregnancy thing can?t be so bad if you?re all coming back for seconds, thirds or fourths!!! x

Kitstar · 15/04/2005 12:59

but roll on 8wks DQ- Can?t imagine how hard last time must have been for you & your dh- stay happy hon- lol & crossed fingers for you both! x

scully · 15/04/2005 13:23

just finishing a jacket potato and baked beans.....
who mentioned constipation earlier
and so far so good for coping with my dd - she was testing my patience before I tested so hasn't made a huge difference really

boowidger · 15/04/2005 13:34

My dh is being cautious around me at the moment as hes worried something bad will happen but hes getting more and more excited as the days go by! He's always wanted children but had kind of persuaded himself that because it hadn't already happened in the past he wasn't able too. He's 10 yrs older than me (i'm 24) and was in a long term relationship when i was only 10 where they were apparently trying but he found out after the split that she'd been on the pill the whole time, cow! That shook him up a bit. We've been together for 5yrs and got married in November 04. As my mum said to him the day we found out "so you're not shooting blanks are you love?"!!!

boowidger · 15/04/2005 13:38

Talking of my mum, she brought me round some books this morning that she'd bought from her book club - Mums on Pregnancy and Mums on Babies - the mumsnet books!! Weird coincidence as she didn't know i used this site! They'll be my bibles in the months and years to come!

Nemo1977 · 15/04/2005 13:51

i dont know i got out for the morning to return to a good 20mins reading...and QC said it was quiet...lol
Well im absolutely shattered and hoping ds is so can have a snooze. Will try to post something more productive later...lol

quietlycautious · 15/04/2005 14:03

Oh Nemo, I'd give anything for a snooze - I'm so jelous !!!!!!

I'm stuck in the office and it's the last place in the world I want to be today - feeling really boated and crampy - I hate this bit of pregnancy.

My dh is firmly keeping me in line at the moment - if it was up to me I'd be running round telling the whole world I'm pregnant - but after last time we are trying to avoid telling anyone for a while.

Although I personally think it would be worse if the same happened again and no-one knew. I drew so much strength from all the support we received last time. I think I'd feel all alone if the same thing happened now and I had no-one to talk to.

I think several people around me have an incling though - I'm not very good at keeping secrets. I'm sure my mum and sisters have guessed - and my best friend. I have several social engagements this weekend so I'm sure I'll give the game away. I even thought about striking a deal with the barmaid in our local pub - advising her that is anyone ordered me a gin and tonic to leave out the gin

Boowidger - your mum sounds fab btw!!
