I have got a horrible feeling I am pregnant. I am sat here looking at my boobs and all concerned.

[GetOrfMoiLand]

They are covered in blue veins and feel itchy inside.

I haven't been pregnant for donkey's years so have no idea if this is normal.

I have no idea when I am due on (period every 4-6 weeks, and it is so light normally it only last half a day, is blibnk and you will miss it) and had my last period in middle of December I think.

This will teach me for having the regular 'don't you bloody get pregnant' chat with dd yesterday during One Born Every Minute.

I know I should get a test but gawd knows if it is too early or not, plus it is pissing down and I can't be arsed to go to the shops.

I did have a panic earlier this week, when I was complaining about a weird taste in my mouth, and my colleague gave me a meaningful look. It's going now after some over enthusiastic (and terrified) flossing.

Don't know yet Trills - still a couple of years, though I think DP's getting broody. We were talking about when we own our own home, and I was saying "and then, we'll have the second bedroom which can be for guests, and a study" and he chimed in with "and a baby". I started freaking a little bit. He's already picked out boy's names (he's stuck for girl's names).

But, we are negotiating the important stuff at the moment - we each get to name a cat and a child, and the child may not be named after the cat (have seen that can be an issue on MN).

DP and I are waiting to see who gets broody first...

Hell, if you hang about on the childbirth threads it certainly won't be you who's broody first :o

She was a verrrry chilled newborn - not surprising really
Actually it did nothing whatsoever for the pain, but I did feel mightily scrummy for a few hours despite it

so what sort of time will you be testing?

Getorf, you are talking yourself into it. 'the last time', as if this time will be the current one.

I want to know, I am going out tonight so fully expect some form of result when I log back on. And 32 ffs, you are but a mere babe yourself, had my first at 32!

Just think, you will be able to have tequila fueled nights as you will have a babysitter on standby permanently and if she is there then she can't be out getting into trouble . Because that will be your job!

Figgyrolls makes a good point - you'll have a live in and enthusiastic (hopefully) babysitter, so that takes some pressure off. And, it seems half of MN will be willing to babysit.

Twill be tequilla-fuelled craziness every day

See GOML this is why I need to be PMd every time you start a thread. I nearly missed the excitement of this one

Marking my place!

I am at work and just found the wrapper to a First Response in the loo. Am now eyeing everyone suspiciously. Is it one of you lot? GOML are you at Marble Arch...?

If you have a baby, living with it (and lots of babysitting) will be a good way to dissuade DD from having one of her own.

Excellent point Trillian.

If it does turn out you're pregnant, you could say to your DD that it was planned (ish) and that you feel it will be a valuable learning exercise for her, helping care for her new sibling

No no no, you say it was unplanned and look you can get pregnant even if you are being careful so you young lady are never to have any sex at all until you are at least 30.

Actually, that's better.

And you could offer to tell her how careful you have been (what birth control you use, how often), but that will probably gross her out and end any further questioning.

isn't it pethadine? Doesn't really help with the pain, just makes you not care

No, am not in Marble Arch.

Am in work doing a hateful godforsaken bastarding spreadsheet which is killing me mentally so keep popping on here for breaks after every completing every tab just to keep me sane!

Yes, I think it may put DD off sex (good) if I tell her 'well we used a condom but there must have been leakage' stories.

I have bored dd to death re 'don't have sex too young, have some self respect' and especially the fire and brimstone 'don't you DARE get pregnant young, you are NOT on PAIN OF DEATH to follow my example, your life is different from mine' etc etc ad infinitum.

I love this thread by the way, you are lovely you lot (look - hormones making me mushy)

I am afraid that it is all a fuss about nowt and I will come on here sheepishly later and say 'nah, sorry everyone, not knocked up, put yer knitting needles away'

I too am updating a bastard spreadsheet! Hence all the posting on this and the Nigella thread yesterday.

Oh good, now I have yet another reason to lurk on MN and avoid doing my course work

Think of the positives though, at least if you get pregnant your dd will have a baby to coo over at home and simultaneously get a swift education in the horror of screaming colicy babies and angry toddlers and will probably never have a child of her own!

i'm bored - GOML.

I've had bugger all customers.

I have no work to do (had a huge delivery that occupied me for all of one hour)
fuckm if it weren't for this thread, i'd be climbing the walls in boredom.

so, we know that the best way to stop a teenage daughter from having sex is to have a pregnancy scare? bit extreme, but hey-ho!

(if i ever get that far...)

I am most definitely not preggers but would love to be. This thread has me glaring angrily down my top at my completely unitchy boobs. Itch, you bastards, itch!

Yeah, but what about those of us who didn't have our children till our 30s? Given my maternal family history, by the time even DD1 is at the 'Don't you DARE get pregnant' stage, I'll probably be incapable of having a pg scare.

P'raps the only alternative is to have their dad pretend to have knocked up someone else.................. d'you think that would be taking it Too Far??

I am idly every so often clutching my boobs to see if they feel bigger/harder. Hope nobody has caught sight of this in an open plan office.

They are not so tingly mind you i didn't notice yesterday until I took my bra off, and then they felt tingly.

Perhaps I am just allergic to lenor or something boring.
