Late May 2012 bambino's (couldn't find a non-busy bus!)

[Dozeyland]

Hello Ladies,

I have a 10.5 month old DD, Got my BFP yesterday and confirmed with Clearblue today. EDD 21st May 2012.

Anybody want to join?

:)

Morning all
I had the flu jab last Monday and have had no side effects at all. I decided to get it after speaking to the nurse who said that pregnant women are one of the target groups for the vaccine - along with elderly and people with breathing problems.
I figured even if i felt a bit ropey for a couple of days it was worth it for the protection. As it happened I felt totally fine.

There's a tiny possibility i'm getting less bloated - anyone else feeling less like a balloon?
Re the downstairs activity I'm lucky if I'm going 3 times a week at the moment... Although not regular even when not pg.
(sorry if tmi!)

wommer I can't decide whether I'm still bloated or getting fat or actually getting a mini bump I don't seem to have quite so much wind, though my bladder seems to be stupidly weak (cue crossing legs whenever I sneeze for fear of, ahem, leakage ) so dread to think how much worse that will get!!

Am in that awkward stage where normal clothes feel too tight and not comfortable and mat clothes would look silly, so end up just feeling frumpy all the time, especially at work, which is not really boosting the old self confidence at the moment! Plus I work in a very male dominated environment (Probably 200 males to 25 females), but 5 of us females are pregnant at the moment - never been the case before, so a bit irritated it's now as they all look so slim and lovely with their small bumps and fitted tops etc and I just feel fat and frumpy...oh well...hopefully bump will appear soon and I can start to wear nice mat blouses and feel a bit better about it all/able to 'show it off' a bit!! Sorry for the warble...

Hello all! I am 14+1 today first baby. New to the board and EDD 17.05.12.

bluecrane I know exactly what you mean.

I have borrowed lots of my mums work clothes because I have gone up two dress sizes already! Mum is approaching 60, and as you can imagine I look just charming! But I don't see the point of buying bigger sized clothes.

I am looking forward to a bigger bump so I can wear all those lovely floaty empire waisted dresses!

Oh, and a question for you all. Has anyone have a thickening in the pelvic and abdomen area? X

Welcome hannah glad I'm not the only only feeling a bit frumpy and not so attractive in clothes at the moment! re. 'thickening' I seem to be a similar size most places apart from my tummy/abdomen area which definitely sticks out and gets bigger as the day goes on, so larger in the afternoon/evening than the morning...it could be air or water retention but more likely (especially for you being a couple of weeks ahead) that it's the start of beany making more space!!

Hi blue and Hannah
I feel EXACTLY the same - soooooo frumpy and ungainly. I also work in a male dominated office but there's 7 of us preggers ones on the floor ATM! (you sure we don't work in the same office?! Lol)
Definitely have a particularly larger area below my belly button - normally this is not the area where I'd gain weight and seems firmer as well (kinda as it would if I really needed a wee normally....)
Mw told me I wouldn't show until 20 weeks due to being really tall (6ft) but really think it will be earlier than that!
Am 13+5 atm by the way
Xxxx

very very normal to feel small and lovely in the morning and larger than life by the late afternoon evening - thats about the only time you feel actually pregnant for quite some time! Oddly still not showing at all at 13+1 but no surprise as still in denial that its actually in there! Was also horribly fit with wicked six pack - down to four pack and jelly! LOVELY! Work from home as am developer - Sarah Beeny is my hero and am following swiftly in her shoes, if not in financial sense but in the four children sense! Still haven't told anyone bar my best friend today. She took it very well considering she isn't allowed more than two thanks to her kind husband (not) and is desperate about it. Was dreading telling her, but apart from the initial teary shock, was amazing! Hard to be pleased for someone sitting there telling you you aren't that pleased about it anyway so she was incredible. Is anyone still taking their folic acid or are we finished now?

Am I the only one who wakes up bloated and deflates, then? I have to clutch my boobs as I head to the bathroom, but feel a lot better by the afternoon. Still on folic acid -- I feel unable to declare myself second trimester until I've had a scan, even though my dates are pretty certain.

Hi Veronica
I'm another one that inflates as the day wears on.... Start out a size 12 in the morning and am a solid 16 by bed time!

I've pretty much stopped the folic acid now too.
Xx

Also still on folic acid here...I'll be 13w on Tuesday and plan to try swapping back Pregnacre then as it was making me feel sick a few weeks ago and v constipated so will see how it goes this time.

Just had breakfast with one of my best friends who unfortunately had an MC last week (she was 6 or 7 weeks). She and her DH were so sweet as they wanted to wait until we'd had our scan before telling us (we MC'd earlier in the year so didn't want to upset us) but she seems to be doing ok, not great and still difficult, but ok. It won't be easy though as I'm only 6 weeks ahead of where she would've been so unfortunately I could be constant reminder of where she isn't but hopefully it'll be ok. DH is out for the day today so I have the radio on, batches of soup to make, a cake to bake, gifts to wrap to take to my brothers next weekend and a big bag of mat clothes to organise that a friend gave me the other day...wondering whether my energy is going to last with that to do list

Have been taking the pregnacare vitamins which incl folic acid and will keep taking them until no longer pregnant/breast feeding. I like an easy life so much easier for me that way!!!!
Am going to arrange my flu jab on Monday. The end of last week was just too tiring. In fact called in sick on Thursday as am not sleeping and after nearly 2 months of this insomnia I am just too tired to cope!!

Am suffering with ulcers/white spots on my tongue. Does anyone know what might be causing this?!

So we told everyone. It was great telling both sets of parents, all very happy. We told DH bro & fiancee. Said we have some news, I'm pregnant, you're going to be an auntie & uncle!
"awww, congratulations! No children at our wedding" Literally in the next breath. She repeated it later in the night so I know it wasn't a joke. DH bro didn't say much, he was on his phone texting within a minute of us telling him. She says if she invites one, she will have to invite 16. Baby will be about 12weeks, am planning to bf & they are expecting us to stay overnight in wedding hotel at a cost of £180. Am not v happy, but not going to stress just now. Have no intention of being away from baby for over 24 hrs at that age. She told me I should just express!

wommer I'm the same as in toilet time! 3times a week if lucky. I'm 5ft7, weigh about 59kgs
So the bloating is obvious and so uncomfortable!!!! Even when not pg I too have the
Same trouble....

DD is sleeping through the night now, since being in her own room so I'm getting
A bit more kip. Re-charge befor DC2! Lol I just have days where I'm so tired, (but have
A lot going on in my personal life- post on here "how will I cope") any advice would be great..

I'll be 14weeks on Monday, next MW appt in dec, then 20scan on 7th jan.

Any 2nd-timers feeling different to first pg? I feel the same but just a little bit
More sleepy!

Wonder what 2nd birth will be like!!!? :)

SirCharles little ulcers is your body looking after your baby and your immune system is compromised as such so you get tired and therefore get things like virus ulcers etc. Thats why the flu jab is recommended and your chances are higher for getting flu, because your immune system is busy elsewhere!

Dozeyland do you still weigh 59kgs? Have you not put on anything? I used to be 59 and am now 62 and hating being so much bigger, but have to deal with it as have eaten my weight in food on a daily basis - have lost all sense of self control!!! Am 5ft 8 and was rather thin and very fit, and am now fat and wobbly. Grossness! Took so long to go away and now back with vengence!

14 weeks on Thursday! Still haven't told anyone en mass. Just the odd one or two. Am rather enjoying having a secret in a weird way.

Can I join in please? Had my scan on Friday and was also pleased that someone else has confirmed that I do have a baby in there!!! First one due on the 25th of May. Get upset when hcp keep saying 13 weeks as was in the middle of Cambodia whilst hubby was at home, and I didn't see him for til 3 weeks after they keep informing me I got pregnant! I'm sure it's really petty but don't want people thinking that it's not his! symptom wise can't complain although have suddenly become a really fussy eater! Very Nervous about
How it'll get out, I know millions have done it before, but I've seen how big babies are and I don't think it'll fit!!!!?!!

Hope everyone else is okay,

Thanks Cewafwb had not thought of it like that. More sleep required!

Welcome karatekimmi I know exactly what you mean! DH is only home for a weekend every 2 weeks so we know when it happened yet they count it from a time when he was certainly not around!
As for how "#1baby" gets out..... Am not thinking about it for now!

Have a good week girls.

Cewafwb I've put weight on too. I'm 5'7 and I was 52.5kg, now I'm 54kg and with the amount I've suddenly started eating+Christmas I can see that rapidly increasing!!! I'm really struggling with the idea of gaining weight as I had an eating disorder two years ago, and I've only just finished my recovery. I just have to keep thinking that it's okay, I'm pregnant.

I'm 12+3 today, got my scan on Friday morning... nearly there!! xx

Scan on Thursday then my DPs grandads funeral on Friday! To say it's a messed up week is an understatement!!
Feel as if I shouldnt be looking forward to the scan, I am but not as excited as I normally would be, but totally dreading Friday I just want to get it over and done with as it's affecting my 2 year old DS and obviously it very stressful and im just trying to stay calm.

iowmum88 that sucks. sorry to hear about your grandad, hopefully you can be excited once that is over.

cewafwb and hippieshake you guys were tiny! All the weight you are putting on is so good for the baby and your bumps will be obvious nice and early! I'm about the same height, 5'10, but weighed 65 kilos and have put on about 3 kilos already. I dont mind, I love having an excuse to eat whatever I want (apart from all the things I like, like brie and shellfish!).

Who is finding out their baby's gender? I am desperate to find out and have booked a private gender scan on the 5th of December. Can't wait to have another scan regardless and am so excited to find out what it is!

Hope you are all doing well :)

AlexTasha tiny is true, I was hoping to have a bit of a bump by now, but nothing yet :(

I really want to know what flavour baby I'm having :) I wont have my 20 week scan until mid-Jan though. I only have my dating scan this Friday... can't wait!

xx

Okay, so I'm being hormonal and crying my eyes out. Just had an electrician round to look at some dodgy wiring, it would appear the whole house needs rewiring. This is the second man who has told us that now, so I'm guessing it's true. It's going to cost about £2500, plus the costs of decorating afterwards, and it'll uproot us for days!!!

Not good news for a pregnant woman! :(

Not sure if it's hormones, but have embarked on a decorating mission! Living room almost finished, and guest bedroom this weekend! It's my last free weekend this year and I want to get it done while I still have energy/feel well enough too! Hope everyone is okay!

Ok, so 13+2 today, and yesterday & today I've felt a slight popping sensation very low in my stomach. Considering this is the first time I've ever been pregnant, I can't be sure, but could this be Baby making itself known? It certainly doesn't feel like wind (and I'm used to that as I've had IBS for nearly a decade).

Definitely getting a bit of a bump - if I try & hold my stomach in, that bottom bit isn't going in at all...
