Hello!

Newly updiffed and freaking out about spotting, cramping, the wait until your first scan and each little twinge? Settle in for lots of hand holding and supprt until you're ready to move to grads.

Lots of love

Good start Brian.
I take it all back wot I said about you.

mamapower · 18/02/2011 08:58

Very funny!

Wombat33 · 18/02/2011 09:03

Morning all!

Fabulous news on the bfp aandr!!! And is there someone else from the other tread too??

Good luck for those with scans today! For those worrying about dildocam, for what it's worth I.'ve had three scans now from 7 weeks and all have been external ones.

Welcome to irene and any other newbies I've missed!

Velvetcu · 18/02/2011 09:08

Just sticking my head round the door - I'm too scared to come in but need some love coz I have brown goo :(

Helloooo everyone!

megonthemoon · 18/02/2011 09:13

Hello - just saw this in active convos. I was in this position last Feb, pg after mc and petrified; I'm now typing one-handed feeding my nearly 5mo DD. Really really hoping this will be you lovely ladies in a year's time. Fingers and toes crossed for you.

owlbooty · 18/02/2011 09:14

As I've just said on't other thread, brown goo is practically a mandatory entry requirement on this thread :)

This is definitely the place to mental about it though.

I don't know which thread to post on now, I am confused (suffering from sleep deprived brian-fail)

BUT: Fab news about the good scan lemon :)

Good luck today MrsPV and Moo

Bloody hell Orange you're very nearly at the magic 12 weeks - hoorah!

Pink not sure which end you were referring to with your train vs. containment issues (hoping the top end?) but perhaps a waterproof handbag is the answer?

A&R tis absolutely lovely to see you joining us too :)

owlbooty · 18/02/2011 09:14

Ooh, cross-post. Meg congratulations on your DD :) Tis always lovely to hear success stories.

hotnspicyonions · 18/02/2011 09:39

I love this thread & only been on it since Wednesday! And now I've accessed it from my phone, shall be checking in more religiously! My FB friends will think I've had my hands chopped off!

No brown Goo for me but still checking for any signs of discolouration after I pee. At the mo that's the most excessive I am. Although do rub non existant baby bump (just flab!)... Morrisons had 6 caramel Apple lattices for £1.50 yesterday..... mmmmmmmm :)

banana87 · 18/02/2011 09:57

Hello all :)

Fab news on your scans lemon choccie and Wombat!! Good luck to those ladies having scans today!

AF is officially over..that was short (3 days)...1 day heavy and 2 light...is that normal/ok?? Scared about it all now...

nickstermum · 18/02/2011 09:58

Wow Brian you have done such wonderful things with the F.O Room.

Good luck with the scans everyone xxxxx

nickstermum · 18/02/2011 10:07

owls nice to see you have twinned with not just me/bump/dd/placenta but also the cravings of iced buns also Grin

I have to say i walked past them in tesco the other day and never even noticed them... bonkers.

mama your body craves what baby needs.....CARBS! and FATS and SUGAR :)

Saying that i have been living on SALADS for the past week Grin YUM crispy lettuce, coleslaw, cucumber, tomatoes, onions, pickled onions, peppers yum yum.... mmm might have to go and raid the fridge.

Hopes everyone is having a great bump rubbing day and its friday!!!

KnitterNotTwitter · 18/02/2011 10:08

A&R SOOO excited for you - I did wonder if the the cosmic ordering theory might mean that now you'd got planning permission you might also get pg....

And nice to hear a rumour about velvet too - was also suspicious about her when she was a bit sad about not starting the new thread on the other board (obscure reference that won't mean much to most of you - apologies) didn't seem like her and so I wondered....

Irene Welcome - lovely to have you hear and a St Vals BFP - how nice :)

And that means there are now three people more worthy of the title junior than me - I'm positively ancient now with my 5+4 bean. Tee Hee

Thanks to Brian for the new thread BTW made me [Grin]

DachshundsWantPuppies · 18/02/2011 10:21

Brian good to have you join us Wink

velvet you HAVE to come in - it's mandatory to mental about brown goo, that's why we're here rather than in grads. now, sit on the bean bag and drink this Brew

AandR you can have a Brew too :)

Would you like biscuits?

I wonder if there are any more twins in there!

Wombat33 · 18/02/2011 10:31

Whoop hello Velvet!!! I've got brown goo this morning too!!! Gah - just wish it would bugger off and leave me in peace to mental about everything else

PrettyVacant1 · 18/02/2011 10:35

Congrats missus! Grin

Wombles you are a skinny Minnie, yes?
That I am not. Grin

Not bothered bout Dildocam, just wanna be normal and have a normal scan for the first time eva.
Fanks for putting me at ease though. Smile

I don't feel ver well. :(
Me thinks Chinese may been dodgy.
Running to the loo and being sick since 6am.
Thought it was nerves at first but 2 other girls are the same.
They did drink lots of derty gin,beer and wine though too.
I'll be ok, just feel 'orrid.
Hope I'm ok for later, the hospital is over an hour away.Hmm

Speaking of which, you ok Pink

PinkFondantFancy · 18/02/2011 10:37

Thanks for getting us a shiny new thread Brian, you are being very well behaved!

velvet wonderful news v v v v v v excited for you!!!

orange is it you that is addicted to Ribena? I can't stop drinking it!!!

Stop press: new symptom alert-peeing alllllll the time! It's been 15 mins since I last went and I'm in a cab now and the speed bumps are torturing my bladder!!! V v v excited!!!

owl this morning it was both the bottom and top ends I was worried about containing but turns out they were both ok luckily.....

digitalgirl · 18/02/2011 10:41

Congratulations to velvet and A&R!

And good luck to those with scans today. My next one is a week today, which feels like an age away which means I don't have to worry about it for a while.

Boobs vaguely tingly again and feeling heavy down there so am mildly zen today. Smile

PinkFondantFancy · 18/02/2011 10:41

pv you got any sick bags? I got some off eBay-not used any yet but they are like a little comfort blanket in my handbag. Doesn't help with number 2 worries tho.....

KnitterNotTwitter · 18/02/2011 11:37

My symptoms have upgraded to include heavy womb - excited :)

Am sure that by this stage with the MMC I was in my maternity jeans. With DS I'm sure I was just into 2nd trimester before I started buying maternity stuff.

Went out with NCT girls that I met when pregnant with DS last night - manage to not tell them about this pg. Had half small glass of white wine and then said I wasn't having any more as I'm doing Slimming World.

Emoo · 18/02/2011 12:10

Fantastic news and congratulations Velvet and A&R!

Also lovely news from love on the end of the old fred...

And Emoobean is measuring 8 mm (fitting with 7 weeks) and has a heartbeat. And is in the right place. Grin Grin Grin And could be seen without use of a dildocam Grin Grin Grin

Pink - glad you managed to stay contained this morning!

Good luck to pretty later on today.

Wombat33 · 18/02/2011 12:16

Whoop Emoo fab news!!! (esp about lack of dildocam!) Grin

Good luck PV!!!

KnitterNotTwitter · 18/02/2011 12:19

Great news moo

mamapower · 18/02/2011 12:36

Two more beans safe and sound, big whoop for beans Moo and Love

am stuffing food as boss talked for 3 frigging hours this morning, I swear without drawing breath and consequently my stomach thought my throat had been slit, it got the point where starvations was gonna make me chuck so I had to just get up and walk off Grin Cheese and marmite sarnies are going down a treat Grin

knitter Digi glad your are nice and symptomatic, it's so hard when they are non existent or there one day and vanish the next! Bring it all on Grin

pinkety pink glad you avoided a display in front of your fellow passengers Grin

wombat velvet hope the brown goo passes quickly but from everything I've read I think that's all quite common!

thanks for the positive story megonthemoon

Must dash!

OrangeGloss · 18/02/2011 12:38

OMFG to AandR and Velvet !! Grin now park yourselves on those beanbags Grin

I think I posted after the thread had moved :( I'm having a day of paranoia that I'm not pg, something's happened. I have no reason why:
Still bloated
Still puked this morning
Boobs still big and sore

Not sure I can wait 4 weeks but scared anything sooner will be bad news. Please tell me I'm being irrational?!

Pink yep it's me that's only drinking Ribena :) if you are too I think it ties in with you earlier jelly eating

Emoo fab news on scan, well done emoobean being bang on for dates too

Love I think I missed your news

Good luck again to PV will try and sneak a peek this avo for news

Wombat brown goo is fine, and didn't you just have a scan?

mrsrobinredbreast · 18/02/2011 12:41

Afternoon all,

Have defo got that Friday feeling. I will get to know names soon, I promise then you can all test me but for now hello all .

No real symptoms today either, quite scared by this.

Newbie question. Your early scans that lots of you seem to be having, are they NHS or private? I am wondering whether to book a private one if I can hold out for another 3 weeks and get to 9 weeks.
