pregnant in aberdeen

[Sillyness]

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

Course you can join! Nice to meet you! Congrats on your pregnancy!

Sorry to tell you this girls, but I had a miscarriage yesterday! DH and I are strong and looking after each other and I'd still love to join you all for coffee if I may? Still want new friends when I move up!

Hope you're all well! xxx

oh, Silly, so sorry to hear that.

Thanks Medee. Really, we're trying not to dwell on it. We're just viewing it as 'it'll happen a few months later instead!) x

Aww Silly, I'm really sorry to hear your news You sound quite philosophical about it though, which is really strong of you. As for whether you can still meet up with us, I'll refer to your comment made to Ineed last week and only tell you 'get thee to Starbucks'! You started all this off so it would be wrong if you weren't there! As long as you're happy to still meet up then it'd be great to see you there!

Hi Sapphire1, welcome and congratulations! Hope you're keeping well. It must be hard having lived here for so long without knowing anyone, what area of Aberdeen are yu in? As silly said, you're more than welcome to cme along for coffee. Have you seen all the details for the meet-up?

Hope everyone else is well!

Wahey! I'll see youal next Thursday then!

I'm now able to do all the things i was enjoying being able to avoid...cat poo, cleaning, packing!!!!! Damn it!

And I've lost my excuse for all those white magnams! Damn it!

How is everyone? It feels like ages since we 'spoke'!

Yes LNT, I guess I am being quite philosophical about it! What else can you do?!

It'll happen...typical offspring from me and my husband was bound to muck up my plans! xx

I actually reckon you need to eat more white magnums as a preventative measure against future heartburn! Build up a sort of barrier if you know what I mean?!

Is it next Thursday we're meeting? I thought it was the 5th August? It's no problem if it is next week, I finish at 3.30pm anyway and can drop my little devil DD at my MIL's. Are any of you on Facebook? Just wondered if that would maybe help to recognise each other?

I'm doing fine thanks, I've been lurking around here as not much to report so didn't want to bore anyone with my non-details! Having a quiet-ish time work-wise and only have a week more to work until my fortnight off! Woo hoo! How's the move coming along silly? Are you almost there with your packing?

I just thought I would check in here so sorry to hear your news Silly, all the more reason for us all to meet and have a good old coffee and chat.

One thing though I am changing ISP and am worried I end up losing broadband (that would be just what would happen to me)
So just in case I go totally missing I will still be there at 5.30pm on the 5th.
Just hope I don't lose broadband AND the plans change i'll look a bit daft waving my pram around starbucks staring at pregnant women if they do.

Yes, it's the 5th! I'm losing days here, sorry!

Packing is coming along rather quickly now that I'm participating! (Funny that!) To be fair though, he had a point...it obviously doesn't take that long and therefore need to be done last month!

I'm on facebook, but don't know how to pass you my details without the rest of the world seeing...i'm gonna try though...is that what 'contact poster' to the right of our names means?

Yes if you have signed up and paid for CAT.
If not my email is pamela0903 @ googlemail dot com.
Obviously without the spaces and an actual dot you can find me on Facebook that way just put in the add request who you are.
My Initials are PB so you know you have the right person.

Thanks Ineed, I've used your way as I haven't paid CAT yet!. x

Got your request and accepted it.

And I know what you look like now so no excuse for not recognising you on the 5th

wahey!

Thanks for letting me join! So sorry to hear your news silly . I would love to come and meet you all for coffee. Will probably be a bit later than 5.30 though as I'll be coming straight from work. I live close to the city centre LNT, and yes, it has been hard not knowing anyone! Hope your moving prep is still going well silly, not long now...

Packing is coming on brilliantly and I finished the white magnams as you advised LNT!

Glad to hear you're coming for coffee Sapphire!

So how are all the pregnant peeps? What symtons y'all got?

By the way, what do you guys all do? I am was a primary teacher. Not allowed to teach in scotland due to my training and have to re-train! Typical! xx

Glad you took my advice silly! Remember to keep topped-up though! Will you have to go back to Uni to train or is there some sort of 'conversion course' type thingy? Will you just be a lady of leisure in the meantime?

Yay sapphire! Will be good to meet you on the 5th.

My email address is hazie1982 @ yahoo dot co dot uk. (Again, without the spaces) I'm a typical Aberdonian saving my £5 for a particularly big cake from Starbucks that you will be able to see wherever you approach from!

I've been a childminder since July last year. I decided not to go back to my evil job after having DD and this was the best option for working full-time and avoiding childcare costs at the same time.

I was feeling nauseous all day up until about Weds this week, which I'm not really liking (weirdo that I am! ) but I'm sure you all know what I mean.

LNT...I've just sent you a request on facebook, but silly me forgot to write that it was me! My initials are EL. x

Did you need quailifcations to childmind or just a police check? sounds like a good option! there is no conversion course, the teaching council of scotland were really snooty about it all and said i must restart from the beginning and they can do nothing to help me...not even ensure i get on the course! i was seething, but this does tend to be my luck!

Just added you silly!

What a complete pain about your teaching! So you'd have to do a whole new degree?? That's totally mad!

I don't have any childcare qualifications, just did a pre-registration course and had police check done (called a Disclosure Scotland). I also had to write a Policies and Procedures document and childproof my house, but it wasn't too bad to be honest. It can be a bit of a long procedure though, but fine once you're in the system I think.

What a bummer about your teaching silly, seems crazy to me. I am a library assistant, only started a couple of weeks ago but I've been working in libraries for a few years now. Nausea is a weird thing LNT, I kinda liked it too although I felt like poo. I have weird symptoms like sore wrists, how on earth can a baby give you sore wrists?! Oh, and I can only walk waddle for a couple of hours before I'm completely crippled. Hope you don't mind silly and LNT, but I have sent you friend requests on facebook. I have put a message so you should know it's me. At least then I'll know who to look for!

Ah! So that's who you are Sapphire! Nice to meet you! Funny, I was looking at jobs on aberdeen city council website and the library assistant ones caught my eye! Am in the middle of applying at the minute!

Nice to meet you too! I work for Aberdeenshire but my DH works for Aberdeen city libraries. It's a nice job, but you don't half get some strange people coming in to public libraries! Good luck with your application

I'm not so worried now about recognising you guys after being able to 'see' you on facebook! I'm loving all the wedding pics! Please bear in mind that I don't look much like my wedding pics anymore after being diet-free for almost 3yrs ( can't believe we've been married that long!) and having 1 child!

Sapphire I think your wrist problem is likely to do with your ligaments becoming more relaxed due to pregnancy hormones. You could maybe talk to your mw about physio or something? I get a pulled muscle feeling at the bottom of my stomach now if I stand up too quickly! I look like an old wifie trying to get out of my chair! I had back problems last time and got a really attractive, over-sized tubigrip to heave ease myself into for support. It was comfy but not my best look ever! Your library job explains the Bookstart Bear pictures on your profile, they had me laughing! I always thought bears went to the toilet in the woods...
