No symptoms here at all- apart from no period, a BFP very slightly sore nipples.

I'm just not feeling preggers, bring on the crazy symptoms!

closes eyes and concentrates really hard

"I must not tell anyone yet, I must not tell anyone yet"

Any advice on this. Really do believe it is best to keep to ourselves until after 12 week scan. However as I am 29 and been married for 3 years and have LOADS of preggers friend and those with small children I am probably asked at least twice a week when I am going to have children.

Have to work on my lying face and keep with the initial lie I have been using to cover us while having infertility probs, "Oh some day...."

I have decided to test on Sunday. I can have one last cigarette whilst in denial on Saturday night (my Sat night treat).

Really crampy on one side so there's a little of me thinking that maybe my period will come before then. I've gone from not wanting to be pregnant to desperate in the space of a week!

Mainly as I supposed to running the Chicago marathon inOctober.

Congrats Tigress and good luck Dophus.

Tigress - I have told 2 of my friends, PIL and will tell my parents at the weekend when I see them. I tell people who I would tell if something went wrong - sorry, no other way of wording that but you know what I mean.

Is anybody else as hungry as I am? I was up and out of bed at 5.30am this morning practically running downstairs to get my cornflakes. If I don't eat every 2 hours I feel sick as a dog.

When to tell people is a difficult decision really. When I was pregnant with ds I told everyone straight away, I just couldn't help myself. In my last pregnancy I told close friends and family but despite swearing them to secrecy most of them found it impossible to keep quiet and within a week everybody knew. The difficulty came when I miscarried - having to let everyone know was a nightmare and then I had people on my doorstep fussing over me (hearts in the right place but I just wanted to be left alone sometimes). This time I'm keeping quiet until I know I'm out of the danger zone but it's really difficult to keep it to myself, especially as I have a couple of pregnant friends one of whome is only a few weeks ahead of me!

Anyone got any thoughts on what they're having? I looked on the net at the chinese baby predictor thingymibob and it is predicting a girl for me, I know it's probably a load of old crap but it was right when it said ds would be a boy (50/50 chance I know!).

Hi,

I'm new to this site but would love to join you in this chat. I'm not too sure when I am due as I haven't got a LMP date to work from but got a BFP 2 weeks ago so thinking beginning of March.

I am a bit nervous as this baby wasn't planned and I have a DS (just 3), a DD (21 months) and a DS (6 months) but trying to think of it as a challenge, even in the midst of hoorible MS!

Good to hear I am not alone through all the early pregnancy worries/ symptoms though.

Four under five! - I am not worthy and till never feel sorry for myself as I consider thechallengesd of three ahead. Good luck!

Thanks for the good luck message Dophus. I think it becomes relative though because when I had my first I found it really difficult adjusting and then I found going from 1 to 2 hard but wondered why I thought one was hard!

I think motherhood full stop is really hard going (although rewarding too!) a lot of the time!

Morning ladies,

Still no symptoms here.. Kind of wish I would have some kind of sign I am pg (well aoart from the BFP obviously!)

Becky - Wow, you are supermum! I am in awe of you. Sure you'll cope fabulously.

I'm definately not supermum! CBeebies is my best friend and Annabel Karmel has never been a feature of this house!

Ah so you're a real mum then , I still admire you, you must be busy!

Oh, I forgot to say. With regards to telling people we haven't told anyone in 'real life' yet. We're trying to keep it secret till 12 weeks if we can manage. Last time we tld everyone at 6 weeks and felt we didn't really have that private time when it was just our little secret. I'm also more worried this time, think it's cause if had ds so I feel lucky that went smootly and kind of feel due some bad luck now. Hope i'm wrong anyway and all is ok.

Desite deciding not to tell anyone yet I still keep having urges to blurt it out to anyone and everyone!

hello, can I join? i got a BFP this morning and it hasn't sunk in yet (EDD 7th March). I am supposed to be working but it is nigh on impossible.

I am going to find not telling anyone really hard. Everywhere I go people ask me if we are going to have another one and i am a useless liar. There is no way i can wait until 12 weeks that is for sure.

I am also coming to terms with the fact my holiday to France in August will have to happen without wine and Brie!

Welcome twofalls!

Add yourself to the list!

I had a close one with my sil the other day, we have both been ttc for the same amount of time and always moan to each other when we get our AF so it's hard not telling her. She jokingly said 'well the question is, are you pregnant yet???' and I was like 'yeah, I'd love to be' trying not to lie but not tell her at the same time, cringe. I quickly changed the subject, don't think she twigged.

Here I am:

you are better than I am - I so would have caved at that point! I also feel really bad because I am chairing an industry event in March and have just had a call to identify speakers. I am not pulling out becaus anything could happen but I did feel a bit guilty.....

I have that same problem! I feel like a bitch for having told a few people who are in my RL, but are not friends and family - ie boss, uni tutor - people who need to know straight away to help me plan certain things about my degree. All I want to do is run and tell my mum and my friends.

I've told 2 close female friends, and they are a good support to me.

Some people know we've been ttc, so when they make jokes or comments about me being pregnant I have to just laugh along with them, when really I just want to shout, "yes, I'm 5 weeks pregnant!"

Got my 1st appt with GP tomorrow, so hopefully that'll make it seem more 'real' to me

Laso dying to tell someone... probably should confirm with a test and then tell my husband first ...

Afternoon ladies

Loads of messages to catch up! Welcome to all the new ladies - it's great to be able to share this exciting time with you all

Becky wow - #4 - RESPECT! It'll be a challenge but it'll also be lovely to have your kids so close in age as they get older

369 God, am with you on the hunger front - I'm like a beast! When I'm hungry I'm STARVING and it's most disconcerting (am already carrying snacks in my handbag ). Though not been feeling sick if I don't eat, but am just so tired that if I don't eat I nearly fall asleep...

Dophus good luck for the test! Enjoy the last few days before it's "official" and am sure your DH will be thrilled at a "happy accident" .

Chubbymummy no idea what I'm having but am already happily daydreaming about either a boy or a girl . Need to look up this Chinese predictor thingy mention. Sorry to hear about your M/C - perfectly normal to feel nervous after what you've been through - I'm also having a scan at 7 weeks so fingers crossed it's good news all around!

BYM Also sorry to hear about your M/Cs and thanks for sharing your experiences re early scans. Here's a healthy and uneventful pregnancy for you .

Dalrymps know what you mean about wishing for more symptoms - I keep moaning to my DH and last night he read out loads of early pregnancy symptoms and I had most of them bar MS...so have now decided to stop moaning to him .

Really interesting to hear what people are doing re telling and not telling. I was out for lunch with some friends from work and it was on the tip of my tongue (instead I made excuses as to why I can't go out for a couple of glasses of wine after work tonight!).

On the subject of telling people. I'm really trying hard to keep it secret until 12 week scan but I find with the MS it is so hard acting "normal" and I don't want people thinking I am being off with them when I am not talking/ trying not to vomit!

Dophus- have you told your DH yet? I can't believe you have managed to keep quiet so long!

Clubbymummy- I did those Chinese predictor things with all 3 and only 1 was right! As for guessing myself I only got DS1 right so prob not the best person advise! However, maybe just me but I had much worse MS with DD than DSs (ie, actually physically sick all morning- TMI!.

Hi ladies

Well I felt sick today but I think it was actually cause of the sun . Walked round town for an hour and a half this aft with ds and when I got back I had a terrible headache and felt really sick . Tried to eat my tea but had to go for a lie down in the end, feeling better now though so I must have just overheated.

Hi ladies
I'm going to join you here. By LMP my due date was 28 Feb but I had an early scan today (history of ectopic) so although I thought I was 5w5 the scan showed 5w1 (cycles have been longer than 28 days so MW not concerned)
Anyway I'm not sure what that makes my EDD 4 March or something? I'll put that down for now.

so far I've had backache and feeling tired, and tender boobs and need to eat frequently but that's it.

In RL only DH and my parents know. We hope to keep it a secret for as long as possible but the non drinking usually alerts close friends!

Evening ladies and welcome to those who have just joined us (ha,ha that sounds like I'm about to lead us in prayer - Dear Lord please bless us all with healty, happy babies and easy, pain free births AMEN.)

Oh well if your chinese predictor was wrong 2 out of 3 times I won't take too much notice of my prediction then, not that I was taking it too seriously anyway!

I'm fairly sure some of the staff at work have guessed that I'm pregnant because I've been wriggling out of moving furniture all day today and during the small contribution I made it was quite obvious that I wasn't really lifting anything and just had my hands in the right places. 2 of my work friends have definatly sussed me, one of them came right out and asked me (she's a good friend who I trust to keep quiet so I admitted it to her but I still didn't really want to tell her yet) and the other one has stopped me from lifting anything heavy and has covered for me all day but hasn't asked me any questions (she knows about my mmc so I think she's probably waiting for me to tell her in my own time). There is another woman at work who has been asking questions because she's noticed that I'm not lifting like everyone else but I'm not telling her anything because it would be like taking out an advert on the front page of every paper.
Dh says we should just tell people because if the worst happens they will find out anyway (when I miscarried I was off work for a couple of weeks and there were lots of people asking what was wrong with me so I decided to just be honest about it and my boss told everybody for me before I returned to work). I know what he means and I know he's dying to tell everybody but I still want to keep it quiet for now though.

sorry chinese predictor thing was ment for Becky, sorry to confuse anyone reading that.

I think people do work it out pretty quickly to be honest - I always guess when my friends are pg and they you go through this ridiculous farce where you pretend you don't know!

I have two tricky situations coming up - friends round for dinner tonight. i might just pretend to be drinking because they will suss me straight away if I am not getting stuck into the wine.

Helping my SIL move next week - enthusiastically offered to do lots of lifting for her because she is 6 months pg. It will probably just be easier if I tell her!

morning ladies

im not feeling too brilliant today, though i dont think this heat is helping at all.

i had to tell my boss as i work with drugs and chemicals in the lab, but im off on holiday next week so people wont suss me out until i get back (its so obvious when someones PG at my work as they stop going in the lab). my mum is coming round today so i will tell her, but hoping not to tell anyone else!!

i did one of those clearblue conception indicators yet, was so pleased it said 2-3 weeks!!!! with last PG, it kept saying 1-2 weeks, even a week after the first one i did! so things must be going much better this time round! plus am so tired (went to bed at 8 last night!), not had too much ms, just been feeling off, really irritable, and occasionally feeling a bit blah.

so lovely to share this with so many of you now! very exciting. i havent had a chance to read everyones posts with DD being poorly so i havent had any time to myself the last few days. she's much better, trying to climb onto the tv though so i should go and retrieve her...!! glad my mum is coming today; becky i take my hat off to you and all your lovely babies, i, finding it a struggle with 1!!!
