ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...oops sorry slow brain at the moment. I don't want to be fat already........I feel fat and bloateddddddddddddddd

Sorry you're feeling lousy cypher - cheer up - it'll be the piles next!

Welcome cyphercat and annamama... It's so exciting to to have some more new people - congratulation to you both!

Cypher - if it's any consolation I'm the size of a house.

I'm consoling myself by the fact that my friends who have more than 1 DC say that it's after number 2 that you really lose weight - you barely have time to eat whilst breatsfeeding your newborn and chasing after your toddler.

So maybe I won't take those size 10s to the charity shop just yet then...

Feeling a bit more human today - still coughing but not so wiped out and my hip is healing nicely...

Hows everyone else doing?

Welcome all the newbies! How exciting!

scooby I'm at your boss for you. Mine came out with some rather inappropriate comments, like "how long are you taking off?" Let me see, I'm 6 weeks pregnant, I DON'T KNOW YET! Anyway, having reacted rather poorly at the start she has now calmed down and even phoned me to see how the booking in appointment went today. Fortunately I'm desk based so my worst risk is sitting a bit wonky or cricking my neck during one of my sneaky toilet sleeps.

mumbot the midwife today had a crack at getting a heartbeat but said it was very early at 10 weeks. Bizarrely we couldn't hear a thing, but the doppler was picking up something doing 170ish bpm and it wasn't me! So I'll just have to wait until next Friday for the scan.

Midwife was lovely - homed straight in on the important things (possible PND last time and lack of support contributing to failure to bf) and didn't worry too much about the unimportant (DH confessing his 25-30 unit a week alcohol habit!). Well, it's unimportant in that he doesn't have a drink problem and doesn't endanger anyone else. It gives him a beer belly. Midwife also had a good feel and said she doesn't think there's twins, thank God! My mum is one of non-identical twins so there's quite a risk there.

Big sympathy for those with horrid morning sickness/aches and pains/gone off chocolate/horrid bosses. Looking forward to some more cheery scan news!

Hi all, I haven't been on here for so long cause I have been vomiting morning, noon and night. So I am trying to read back to find out what is happening to everyone. I will be 12 weeks on Monday and have my scan then as well. Got my SIL hen night at the weekend which will be great, having to watch everyone get more and more drunk while I sip on my coke. Oh well, at least I won't have the hangover the next day. I hope everyone is getting on ok and not feeling too unwell.

Designerbaby- I lost the weight very quickly with DC2 and DC3. I think you are right, you are so busy with the older kid(s)that you don't sit down much or snack etc. Whereas when DC1 was a baby it was wall to wall Jeremy Kyle and huge bars of chocolate that I could eat without having to hide behind the fridge door!

Conversation over dinner with DH:

Me: Some women on that mumsnet thread are already in their maternity clothes, but I don't need that just yet!

DH: Do those shorts still fit ok then?

(I lift up shirt to reveal buddha-belly busting out over suddenly very tight looking shorts)

DH: Very nice... Are you sure about not needing the maternity clothes?

LOL annamama!

Retro- after an hour on the phone with doctor's surgery, who asked about six times 'how many weeks pregnant are you?', they said they would investigate and call me back. Subsequently said they had faxed my details to Harris Birthright and gave me their number to call to make an appt, which I will do in the morning. Reading between the lines, I reckon they forgot aout me. Will keep you posted about scan-gate!!

Welcome Cyphercat and Annamama

I'm wearing maternity trousers and my most baggy trackie bottoms. I have actually lost about 4/5 lbs through my limited morning sickness diet but seem to have gotten bigger round my tummy. Having said that it's not like a bump bigger, just seems like i'm bigger round that general area so that my jeans feel too tight and uncomfortable. I can't remember when my proper bump started to show last time but it was small and compact so hope it's the same this time cause I escaped with one stretch mark

Evening ladies,

Not posted for a while as have been falling asleep on sofa as soon as DS has gone to bed so have been catching up on all the posts

Glad sickness is getting better for the majority

Scooby- I work in HR in RL, they have to keep your job open for you, if some reason that it is not then you should be offered a job on the same level and not a demotion. Some companies do not abide by this and take the chance that a fuss will not be made by the employee.

The company I work for are not best pleased that I am expecting. The MD has been saying in front of people, " he knows what I ahve been up to" As though I am supposed to laugh

Am bloating too and look quite pregnant after about lunchtime, clothes are getting tight and am going to have to start looking at maternity stuff too.

I feel better now...it's nice to have all of your support and that you all are getting tummy as well!! I swear the belly grows from morning till night. I'm going to H&M maternity to get some top!!

by the way, I'm finding my bras very uncomfortable...I haven't stretched in that area so oh why oh why??

Wecome newbies lovely to see were still growing!

Thanks Pureeandpearls, I think we should both definitely chase it as my friend who is due 2 weeks after me already has her nuchal scan date for Kings.

Right I'm off to call the doctors and to be sick! Followed by a trip into town to find some clothes that fit!.

Dophus - we're having ours valued next week so have a mega weekend on DIY to get it ready ahead of us! We've seen a place we want around the corner so fingers crossed we can sell ours in time. Good luck with the photos and the viewings!

Pureeandpearls I called my doctors this am who chased it for me and it turns out that it was lost in the post but i have been given the date which is the 7th sept. Apparently that has happened quite a lot recently due to the postal strikes. Hope this helps you.

Rebecca - that was our weekend! DH shifting durniture and toys into a friends garage and me painting anything that didn't move.

I barely recognise the place. It's amazing how quick it falls apart. We vowed not to let the new place slip or become cluttered. It was worth it though - it looks really nice at the moment.

Good luck.

One of the hardest decisions was which estage agent. We had four valuations that differed 150k between highest and lowest - wtf!

Of course we went with the highest but hoping that wasn't a bad decision.

Ughh just throw up at work which is just so horrible (share a loo with two male colleagues!). Roll on 12 weeks and the end (fingers squeezed tightly crossed) of ms.

On the maternity clothes front - think I need some maternity tights - the ones I have on today feel like they are cutting me in half (expanding belly rather than baby methinks). Does anyone know where I can get some - M and S maybe??

Hope everyone else is feeling ok.

Hi Josie22 - funnily enough I was thinking the same thing (about tights not throwing up at work - although I'm almost there)

Saw some on jojomamambebe as I was admiring their work wardrobe

www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/search.php?action=search&super=0010BRN00001~0020BRN00003~ 0110CAT00029&branch=&wcategory=CAT00029&catdesc=Underwear&treecode=TRE00009&r=1

Bought some grey elasticated waist trousers for work from mothercare, feels like I can breathe again!

xxxxxx

Oh no, poor Josie! Are you trying to eat little and often...? It does sort of help I think. Breakfast, 2nd breakfast, early lunch, snack, another snack, dinner, snack, etc...

Josie M and S do have mat tights.

Thanks Annamamma - I think thats the solution. At the weekend I ate constantly and didn't even throw up once on Sunday but when I'm at work I definitely don't eat as much. Think will make some huge light healthy snacks tonight for tomorrow...if I can face getting in the kitchen that is. Also loving the 2nd breakfast idea!

Thanks for the tights tips - will try m and s on way home as I pass near one.

Mumbot - thanks for the shopping tips - I think I need training in all this - I had no idea that either of those shops sold maternity clothes so much to learn!

Walked out of work at lunchtime-enroute 2 gp hopin shes sympathetic!

IWCAS Blimey lady - good on you for putting a brave face and and getting on with life. Hope we can be of help and support over the next few months.
