Hello all and sorry to have been absent from this thread for so long. I'm now 13 weeks and looking/feeling huge already (last time I barely showed till around 16/17 weeks!) Annoyingly though my boobs have actually shrunk - what's going on there?
I'll add myself to the details list:
leaky 39yrs old 3rd baby due 4th June.Have 2 DS aged 5yrs & 2.5yrs so tried for a girl this time.Tiredness in day has passed now but often exhausted in the evening.Hardly any nausea thank goodness.Live in Northumberland but my family live in the South of England.I'm a full time mum but often envy mums who work part-time...this job can be very demanding & stressful especially with 2 boisterous boys!
Ineedmorechocolatenow- 31, due 5th June. Lives with DS 2yrs and husband of 3.5yrs who is Asst Headteacher at large comp in Surrey. Live in Guildford but from Bournemouth originally.

Suffered with chronic SPD last preg and determined not to get it as badly again. In-laws are local and fab, my parents live in Bournemouth. Couldn't care less if it's a boy or a girl, just want a healthy little bubba xx

Live in Edinburgh, lots of family around who are helpful mostly! Love arty things, making Christmas cards (this eve), drawing , painting, knitting, baking, etc. Aso love reading and writing. Had mmc in July so feeling very happy to have reached trimester 2 and much more positive. Pregnancy so far: v nauseous and knackered in first trimester (but no actual throwing up), also emotional. Definitely have more energy now, nausea still hanging around though!

All looked fine. Due for a scan on 16th December for Babies heart..
Loooouise, 32, live alone in East London. This is my first baby and wasn't planned but is extremely welcome. I am hoping that the father, an old uni friend, will be involved after the birth. I work for an international NGO on disarmament, and plan to promote women's peace work by attending UN meetings with baby chomping on my boob. That will keep the diplomats quiet. I have super mum and dad and 3 brothers. Pregnancy so far more tiring than I could ever have imagined, but am loving the glossy hair and cute little bump!
AliTheBard, 34, due 10 June, live in Oxfordshire with DH and DD (2.5yrs), work as a website editor (currently doing mobile web stuff). Love being pregnant but finding it much harder this time round as I'm so tired, hence feel sicker much quicker and am eating like a horse! Hoping I manage to pull off the same trick as last time and drop a dress size afterwards by breastfeeding!
