Due March 2010 - do my boobs look big in this?

[donttrythisathome]

Hello everyone,

I can't find a March 2010 thread so thought I'd start with.

This is my first and i think my EDD is 2 March 2010.

Come and join me!

ahhh groan

feeling really sick. Just had to sit through an hour perfromance review with one of my team with waves of nausea hitting me. Difficult to be professional and enthusiastic when you want to barf.

Am I being silly - I just lifted a heavy box off a high shelf at work (am a complete weakling so probably a light box but it felt heavy to me). Now I am worried that I may have done some damage - really silly of me to have done it. Please can someone tell me that I am being stupid?!?!? Or, worse - am I being reasonable (this is my first pg so am slightly overanxious as you can probably tell!).

retromum my 1st symptom was weird cramps/twinges - not like period pains, different.

Also, feeling like I wanted to be sick, but never actually being sick. I used to walk to the fridge hungry for something, open the fridge and just feeling sick at the idea of eating anything.

Josie22 I'm going away for 2 weeks on Thursday, just wondering what way I'll be for lifting/carrying my suitcase? It'll weigh around 20kg. I wonder if I can get one of my friends to carry it

It's hard to know what to do, or what not to do! Just wish I could sleep for the next few months and stay safe in a little bubble.

Josie - don't worry - just carry along as usual. I went for a 6 mile run this morning. Have 2 children so regularly shift dead weights. The human race couldn't have survived otherwise.

Listen to your body - if it tells you something is too much then it is too much!

Thanks Dophus - I suppose I just feel a bit unsure and scared about the whole thing (not the pg itself but what I need to do/not do). I always thought I wouldn't become neurotic but 4weeks in I already am! By the way, so impressed that you did a 6 mile run

TLC - get someone to help with your case if you are worried so you don't end up going bonkers like me!! Do you have one with wheels that you can take as that would help?

Really don't worry - my children weigh more than 20 kg. They have legs not wheels but frequently choose not to use them. Suitcases don't wriggle and kick you in the belly either...

Woh, really getting busy on here now!

On the cramps - I got them when pg wtih DD2. Was raelly worreid, but midwife said sometimes your body just goes through teh normal cycle - i.e. period pains, even through no period is coming.

Sickness is terrible here. Truly awful. But I refuse to be sick (most of the time). Ii feel really sorry for myself tbh. But probably not telling people is good for me as I need to act normal. Think I would lie in a corner and cry otherwise.

Lots of good vibes going your way Retro. Hope it's all ok.

Hi all, wow its really nice to have all you girls going through the same thing as me. i reminded my DH today that as we are keeping this as our little secret until after the 12 week scan that he has to listen to all my moaning. He was all, "Oh no, are you getting all hormonal?" Er, newsflash!

He's very good really but I do wish I could talk to my friends about it. On the other hand I like that it is our secret.

I have read all your posts about different symptoms and things so thought I would share mine.

Do feel a little tired and a little nauseous (sp?) but not sure this is what everyone is talking about or if I am just imagining it as I have read so much about it.

Do have sore nipples and as a life long 36A I am very much looking forward to the page 3-eque boobs that I have been promised!

Final symptom, do feel quite horny, am I alone in this?

Thanks Retro.

I had tons of cramps before I did my BFP and loads with my last pregnancy. I am sure that they are normal symptoms.

Evening ladies - Josie and Dalrymps, I had dreadful cramps last time and dd is now 19months Was worrying at the time, but I ended up going to my local epu and having an early scan at 5.5wks - so saw my little bean at just 2mm! V exciting! And very reassuring. I caved and told an NCT friend today - she's 10 wks ahead of me and our 1st dds are just a day apart. And she told me the day she tested, so we're even now! Haven't told anyone else yet, but am dying to!

Hi all, can i join?? had BFP on Friday - 1st one. Due date 13th Mar. Havnt slept properly since the night I found out. Can't put my finger on why. I'm usually well up for a lie in but wide awake and had to get up at 6am today as too restless. Only symptoms are gone off food altogether, constant dull ache a bit like period pain and sometimes feel nauseous at night when I finaly get to stop still!! Havent got anything to compare these too so hope the pains aren't a problem. Hoping they are just growing pains. Nice to hear all your updates as a comparison to hear whats normal! Anyone got any knowledge of shift work - is it ok to continue? nights??

oh - and constantly need to find the nearest loo!!

Thanks for advice re my suitcase for Thursday. Yes, it has wheels, and I'm prob just being lazy. There's no reason why I can't carry on as normal with it.

I'm getting an early scan the day I get back from this mission trip. I'll be 8 weeks that day! Sooooooo excited!!!!!

T

Hi,

Could I join please? I got my test result on Saturday and am due on 16 March, I think. Still wandering round in a slight daze (this is number 1)but very excited if slightly puzzled by already having loads of symptoms.

Currently in the process of trying to register with a new GP to get this all kicked off but everyone involved seems to have lost all my papers which is making it a bit tricky!

Have added myself to theclist!

Seems like quite a good time of year to have a baby as you're not too big in the kind of weather we've had in the last few weeks!

Here's to a healthy, happy pregnancy for all of us!

Hi girls, and congrats to all the new bfps!
I am constantly lifting heavy dd (15m who is just just walking now) and I'm sure it is all fine! I do have some concerns about carrying her in the sling, but I think that might be down to tiredness on my part more than anything.
Oh yes, and March IS a lovely time to have a baby- the days are getting longer, the weather is getting nicer, and you don't have to be pg in the heat but can bundle up in big jumpers! (Did I mention that this baby has the same due date as dd? )

Hi again, trying to get used to the lingo and 'rules' forgot to add myself so her is the new list

Good luck and congrats to all!

369 I've got my fingers crossed for you! A couple of my friends experienced light bleeding in pregnancy and they both had sucessfull pregnancies so hopefully it's just implantation bleeding. Keep us updated.

Caitni Good luck with your scan next week, don't be afraid to ask the sonographer about the heartrate, I know I will be doing when I go for mine!!!

Retro I had cramping for the first couple of months with DS and the midwife assured me it was just my body stretching and getting used to the changes that were happening. You're more likely to feel it if it's your first baby although I've got the same cramps again this time too.

Welcome to all the new ladies, congratulations!

Congratulations on your BFP's scooby and childofthe80s and welcome!

Hi all, having a very confusing time here. After two (faint but definitely there) BFPs I did a CB digital test today just to make sure, and it was BFN!! But - still got sore boobs from hell and no AF.... booked myself in to see GP on Thurs, but just wondering if anyone else had any experience of CB digi tests and how accurate they are?? Can you tell I am trying to convince myself that it was a false negative....

Feel ... so ... sick

Can't ... talk...

If I put a busy sign on my office do you think everyone will keep away?

No idea how I'm going to hide this for another 7 weeks. I feel dreadful and my shape is changing rapidly. Already cant fit into some clothes althoguh no change on the scales

Poor you Dophus! Hopefully the sickmess will ease off soon. I feel a little sick after my breakfast today but am secretly pleased!

Good morning everyone!
I hope you are all sleeping more than I am!

TLC, Caitni and others: Glad to hear I'm not the only one waking early. It's definitely reassuring when others go through the same thing!

RetroMum oops it seems I got the wrong word - when I wrote nidation I meant implantation. Sometimes I mix up words from German and English . Yes it is very much my first DC... my parents' first DGC too! SIL has just had her first, little boy is now three months and a real sweetie... so not too much pressure from ILs.

cramps yes, here too. I read somewhere that after successful implantation (not nidation ) the uterus needs to shift a bit into its proper place, so that could cause the general unsettledness.

Josie re overanxiousness yes, I'm constantly telling myself to calm down. No point in worrying... but still can't help myself! I suppose when it's still all new it's worse - we'll get used to it. I hope.

PotPourri Dophus and others - I'm sorry you're MS is tough - wishing you lots of courage and resilience! Myself so far MS-free and not complaining.

scooby welcome and congratulations! I've started waking early too. I suppose it's normal, maybe especially when it's your first. Oh and the loo thing... definitely agree!

childofthe80s welcome and congratulations too!

HarryJoesMummy hmmmmm well CB do claim to be 99% accurate on the day your period is due, but not before. Did you test early? Did you use morning urine for the first tests but not for the CB test? Keeping fingers crossed for you!

Me Had a hard time yesterday... had to fly to Switzerland for some work. Plane was two hours late - but we were all boarded and so had to wait on the plane. Hot, smelly (sense of smell really kicking in here), uncomfortable... and then missed my last train due to lateness... got to destination only by midnight feeling totally knackered! Will take it easier today!

telling people We decided to go ahead and tell family, altough it's still very early. Reasoning that we'd want to share a MC experience as well. Also I believe MCs should be talked about more - be less of a taboo - so that more people become aware how 'normal' and frequent they are. But how can anyone talk about MCs if no-one talks about early PGs?
So we sent family (who all live abroad) a photo of the BFP test and a rose and no comments . Reactions were pretty quick! Everyone seems happy and excited - it's nice to be able to share my own happiness and excitement!

Ok everyone - Have a great day!

(fingers crossed for all those anxious for results)

Dophus - I hope you feel better soon. Try and eat little and often as that is meant to help and rest when you can (easier said than done I know!).

HarryJoesMummy- I can't offer any expert advice but perhaps take another non cb hpt if you are concerned. If you are very early on in the pg then your hormones may not be being picked up by all the tests as they all have different levels at which they pick up pg - did you take all the tests on the same day?

Am still having cramp like things though not really as bad as cramps more like fuzzy, tingly sensation. TMI ALERT!! Also have quite a lot of yellow cm mainly on the loo roll rather than in knickers - is that normal? Anyone else experiencing this?

I was awake at 6.15am this morning - think its all finally sinking in and was lying in bed thinkin about it all (am a natural born worrier!).

Meita - I crossed posts with you! Sorry you had a horrible flight yesterday - just what you needed!! I hope you get to relax more today. Am going to tell my family this week too - for the same reasons as you, as I know I would tell them if anything happened. I agree that we should be more open about these things as it doesn't help people when they think they are suffering alone. Thats why mn is so good and positive as at lease people can share their thoughts and feelings amongst like minded people.
