pregnant in aberdeen

[Sillyness]

hi, i'm moving to aberdeen in august and am 8weeks pregnant. anyone else about who is preggers too?

Hi Silly; I'm in Aberdeen, but currently in the two week wait to find out if I am succeeded this month - will let you know if I am!

oh good luck! despite me saying i'm 8 weeks, that's doctor talk and its only 3wks since we found out so i still remember the anxious waiting!let me know how it goes!

Hi Sillyness, I'm in Aberdeenshire and am also 8wks pregnant with DC2 - I found out 4wks ago, but still in major disbelief!! Hope you're keeping well.

Nice to see the Aberdeen forum finally come to life!

Is this your first, Silly?

yeah...we're moving fast...been together 4 1/2 years, got married in april and now pregnant. love it when a plan comes together!

Littlenut: congratulations! how old is your first child?

Thanks Silly, congratulations to you too! My DD is 2 next month, I've no idea where the last 2yrs have gone, it's scary!

Hi Medee, I know, there's not much activity on this local forum is there? When I first joined MN and for ages afterwards, the most recent post was about 2yrs old!

Hello, found out I am pregnant yesterday, very chuffed, and nervous.

Congratulations Medee! How far along are you? Will this be your first?

Just over 2 weeks since ov; yes, my first

Wow! Huge congrats medee!!!

perhaps you guys will want to meet for coffee when i get up there?

getting excited...less than 4 weeks now until moving day!

I'm in Aberdeen, not pregnant just had my ds2 13 days ago (he's my 3rd)
Do you know where in Aberdeen you are moving to?

It's weird when you first find out isn't it? We'd been ttc for a while and when it finally happened, I was so excited that I wanted to tell everyone but I was completely terrified at the same time! I found out in December, it was a nightmare trying to keep it quiet in amongst all the nights out!

That would be good Silly, just let me know when you're sorted. Do know anyone in Aberdeen already? Where are you moving from?

Yeah, mum and dad are there...eagerly awaiting us!
We're moving up from London. Will be living near Tillydrone.

Well although i'm not pregnant anymore and that was what you asked for i'm up for coffee too if you fancy it.

Excellent Ineed...!

Can't wait to meet you all!

(Ineed... it's a great name, but there's no way i'm typing that everytime i speak to you!)

Can I just add by the way that i'm 8weeks pregnant and have been looking forward to pregnancy and all it's symtoms for YEARS, and all i get is bloody spots!

That's a major move Silly - are you all organised? I only moved 15 miles to this house and it freaked me out - I'm normally really laidback but moving makes me all anxious!! I bet your mum and dad will be chuffed to have you around, not least since they're going t be grandparents!

Argh, I hate spots. I got loads on my forehead around the time I found out I was pg, but they seem to have disappeared for the moment! My only symptoms so far involve me either wanting to eat the equivalent of my bodyweight, or not being able to eat anything!

no symptoms here yet, but it is v early days!

That's ok Sillyness I get called allsorts to shorten my name it used to be shorter but someone suggested this version ages ago and i've kept it.

Looking forward to meeting for coffee I love meeting new people.

THe last pregnancy was my spottiest one but thankfully also the least sicky one so it was a bit of a trade off.

Mum's very excited, dad's more excited now that i'm preggers. i just hope it all goes ok with living so close to them again after having 900miles between us for the past 8yrs!

i'm washing my face with clear and clear-it's doing bugger all!

and i want morning sickness...just for about a week. i don't feel proably initiated yet!

sorry i'm such a moan! haha!

gosh, we're all addicted to this aren't we! love it! haha! we're whipping the ass off the other threads!

lol You gave the thread the kiss of death there Silly! No-one visited yesterday!

Oh and moan away about symptoms or lack thereof! I felt nauseous with DD from about 6wks until 14wks and it was horrible, but I didn't really feel like that this time until eariler this week when I gt to 9wks. I spent ages wishing I would get some symptoms this time just to feel reassured and I want the nausea to go now. I sometimes wish I could just be sick and get it over with! I don't know if Clean and Clear would work on your spots with them being hormonal but if it makes you feel better, scrub away!

So are you from Aberdeen originally or did your mum and dad move from London too?

I don't think I said 'hi' to you yet Ineed..., sorry! Will be good to meet for coffee, I don't think I'd ever met so many new people until I had a baby.

our family is from belfast, sister went to scotland to uni, i went to london.dad started working in scotland and trying to persuade rest of us to move up/over! so now we are! having said that my sis is in stirling now!

sorry to hear you're feeling ill (jealous!)

booked man with a van today...woohoo, moving day come on!

Good to hear you've booked your van now, that'll definitely make it more real! I'm sure it'll be fine with your mum and dad and will definitely make it easier for babysitting!

I've lived in Aberdeen since I was born and really like how it's a city, but close to the beach and the countryside at the same time. The facilities are getting better here all the time, especially the shopping although I don't get much of a chance to take advantage of it as much as I'd like with a fidgety toddler! I live in Aberdeenshire now and I totally love it, the only drawback is that I tend to forget to switch off my 'country head' when I'm in town and will randomly say 'hi' to people I walk past, which gets me some funny looks!
