[piper84]

hi ladies

Got a postive test last thursday, (and one everyday since ) after 4 long years of trying .
anybody else due in november?

Morning all and welcome to all the newbies!

easyeggs I'm so sorry to hear about your bleeding, I hope your scan is good news on thursday, I'm keeping everything crossed for you.

hobnob mn calculater also gave me a different date 2 days earlier as with the others, I plan to go from my scan date as I did with my other 2.

I am also suffering with ms all day, thankfully just nausea but that is bad enough, I'm having to eat every hour or so to try and keep it at bay!

meant to say easyeggs I have my fingers crossed for you xx

Thanks for all the good luck and crossed fingers ladies

Bleeding has stopped but still have pains. Not getting my hopes up as just seems to have been to much bleeding and pain for all to be ok. We shall see though I will let you know when I get back.

Good luck easy eggs thinking of u this Thurs coming!

The weirdest calendar is the 3D NHS Pregnancy desktop, it told me I was 6 weeks rather than 5weeks!! I got one set up not realising it was a desktop and so if anyone has a look on my laptop they will get an early shock!! Dont want to get rid of it though!!

do these first few weeks seem to be going soooo slow...think cause i started feeling sick a week after the 'conception' i have known forever..only 7 weeks thurs and feels 7 months already...will be glad when have midwife and early scan next week to at least progress a little!

Hi everyone. Does anyone else have just 'morning' MS? I wake up feeling ok-ish. Then as soon as I've had breakfast I feel like total shit until 10.30am then feel fine the rest of the day. Perhaps I'm eating the wrong type of breakfast (Cheerios). I'm struggling to get the DSs ready and fed and packed lunched for school in the morning because my stomach is churning. Last time I was pg I felt sick at tea time and I used to sup mint tea and eat grapes.

Weston that is early to start getting MS. It just goes to show we all react to pg hormones differently. I felt totally ok until yesterday morning (5 weeks and 5 days).

Weston - that was how it was with my two. This time it seems different - hopefully in a good way.....

The hospital I went to yesterday just rang me to say they'd got the results of my tests and I've got a UTI which is apparently very common in pregnancy and might explain why I've been getting abdominal pain. I've got to take a course of antibiotics. Has anyone else had this happen?

Hi all,

Well, what a day! DD woke us all up at 5.30am again, so not a great start to the day.

Today was my first day in my new placement school (I'm doing the PGCE, training to be a primary school teacher), and boy, did I know I was pregnant! I felt sick for most of the morning, then exhausted the whole afternoon. I've just come home for a quick cuppa and MN before collecting the girls from the CM at 5.30pm.

Really wanted to tell my new mentor that I am pregnant, thinking maybe she might go easy on me(!) but I thought better of it. After all, it's such early days and only myself and dh know.

On the plus side, on the way home, on a whim, I stopped into the docs surgery and got myself booked into see a midwife on Monday 6th April (I think it's the 6th...), so hopefully that will get the ball rolling and I'll have my scan date soon after- that's what I can't wait for.

Anyway, hope everyone is well today? I'm off to get girls now, then sort them out before planning some lessons for the rest of the week- could do with going to bed at 8pm though, I'm knackered!!

lemontop- I haven't, but know people who have. I think it's quite common. I know I always suffer with terrible thrush when pregnant, which is also very common, but uncomfortable. Oh the joys! At least you have a simple explanation for your tummy pains now though which is good news.

beckybendylegs- please tell me your two were two seperate and not twins.....having twin nightmares...

Hi Western they were separate, not twins! DS1 is 5 and DS2 is 3 (the latter who is sitting next to me sulking at the moment because he didn't like his tea). Could you imagine having twins? My stepmother had two boys and then twin boys after that. I am hoping not to follow in her footsteps in that respect!

Weston and beckyBendyLegs was thinking about twins today! DH is a twin (not that that would affect our chances, I realise) and was thinking how his mum had twin boys at 24, which seems like madness. 'Cos my symptoms started so early (3+3!!) I had convinced myself I was having twins but doubt it. Always thought it would be lovely, but the realities of someone actually telling me now that I was having twins would make me absolutely shit myself, I think!!

lemontop glad you have found a simple explanation for pains. Are you taking anti-biotics?

Got my blood tests tomorrow. Think they just test for anaemia and blood type. Is that right?

A girl at work commented on the size of my boobs today

Evening all. Things are still moving quite fast and can't keep up, especially with pregnancy brain going on! I hope those who are worrying and feeling ill feel better soon.

I am suffering with quite bad nausea. I feel like I need to eat to relieve the nausea, but then I eat and I feel really sick! Currently the only things I really fancy having are cornflakes or a cheese sandwich!

Called EPU today to arrange early scan as midwife offered for me to have one has had two miscarriages last year. I have it a week on Friday when I'll be 8 weeks but even that seems forever away!

Starting to feel sick now, but still no confirmation from the urine sample I sent off to the doctors-apparently it takes them a few days to get the result!

comforted to hear you've been offered an early scan southern. I'll be asking for one on Friday

Must be the MN calculator that's a couple of days out then.

I'm worrying myself that my sickness is not as bad today. Perhaps I'm managing it better but I don't think so. I too get a big wave in the morning but also evening, and often during the night. I can eat lunch though, which is a blessing.

Hey all, spoke to my personal trainer today, he gave this advice:

No crunchies, only static contractions that utilise the TVAs
No overhead work eg shoulder press which raise blood pressure Not too
much exercise on back as venous return also affects BP Swimming good
Cycling ok Rowing probably ok

P.S DP is my personal trainer but he is qualified

Good evening everyone - It's taken me an hour to catch up with everything!

Cupcake & Easyeggs - my fingers are crossed for both of you. Hope the time passes quickly until your scans.

I have been so tired I could sleep for England. I had to go to bed on Sat afternoon when DD was napping as I just couldn't function. DH was happy as it gave him a few hours of footie on tv!

I told my mom yesterday as she keeps commenting about how tired/ill I am looking! Actually I'm glad I did, after all I would tell her if I had any bad news. It was easier to keep a secret last time as I could plan my visits with not feeling rubbish, but she looks after DD for me while I'm at work so it has been much harder to hide.

I've also had lots of pains. I am trying to be more relaxed about it this time than I was last time - but it is difficult not to stress. Ive put it down to stretching and wind - I took windeze last time but haven't bothered as yet this time.

I wish we could have scans every fortnight (don't want to be too greedy!), which my friend in America has. But I suppose thats the difference between a national health service and a private one. We are considering an early scan, but part of me thinks I should hold out a bit longer and have a nuchal scan (not sure on if we will get one on NHS here, but had a private one last time which was fab and think I should prob do same this time).

Is being sick worse than feeling sick? Or does being sick releive the symptoms? I have afternoon nausea - prob because I'm tired and hungry by that stage and its difficult to manage.

Must go to bed its way past my time!! Have a good night!

• NHS desktop thing is telling you what week you are IN, rather than how many you are...(If you are 5 weeks pregnant it shows you the sixth week as that's what you're going through)

Morning all! I'm not sure which is worse feeling sick or being sick. I hate being sick with a passion (not that anyone likes it or anything) so the idea of being sick fills me with utter dread especially if it happens when I am at home with just the DSs. I feel a bit less sick so far this morning (I too get a wave of nausea in the morning: from about 7am-10.30am usually and really strong after eating breakfast). I tried brown toast today and so far that seems to have settled better than Cheerios. We'll see!

Does anyone get affected by watching people drink wine / throw up on TV? I was watching Mistresses last night and every time they had a glass of wine (or at one point whisky) I had to hide my eyes! How sad! And when the one who is pregnant, can't remember her name, threw up after eating marmite on her weetabix I was in agony!!!!

I am six weeks today. Oh the days are dragging!!!!! So that means I can say I am in my seventh week! Yeah!

Morning all.
Well this is the first morning when I have woken up and actually heaved, and felt genuinely very sick. Which, perversely, I actually find quite reassuring!
Got my blood tests at the GP this morning. Grrr is anyone finding time reeeeeeeally dragging at the min??!

Good luck cupcake and EasyEggs with your scans today.

Morning ladies.

I've only tried the MN calculator, and one American one that came up first in Google. The American one told me I'd be due in July 2010 It took me a couple of minutes to work out that I'd put the day and month in the wrong way round (they wanted it month/day/year). Don't think I could cope with a 17 month pregnancy!

I've got a full on day today. I've just got back from the hospital for the second in my HCG levels blood tests. I have to go back to the hospital this evening to see the emergency OB/GYN for the results and he will do a scan. I'm hoping beyond hope that he can see a heartbeat. I'm about 6 and a half weeks so it should be there, shouldn't it?

Also I've got an appointment with my GP for the results of my normal 1st trim blood tests. I hope I'm not anaemic, I've been forcing meat and green vegetables down myself like nobody's business!

Ms is still just nausea with me, but it's enough.

cies hope it all goes well - keeping fingers crossed for you. I didn't get a hearbeat at 6 weeks but then did at 7. DD is here and now a big girl of 2 so don't panic!
