Just had a BFP and wondered if anyone wanted to join me in the rollercoaster ride over the next few months

Ha ha ha ha littlepurpleprincess I guess I will be getting little girl bras too the! How can they hurt this much and not get any bigger?!

Littlepurpleprincess · 12/02/2012 20:22

I don't know Vcarroll! I have to hold them while I walk up the stairs Blush

On the plus side, mine did go up to C cup near the end of my last pregnancy. I was allowed big girl bras [proud]

Vcarroll · 12/02/2012 20:23

Oh good that's something for me to hold out for then! Mine hurt so much and appear to have been filled with wet sand... But no bigger!

nasara · 12/02/2012 20:23

...that's it!

Vcarroll · 12/02/2012 20:25

nasara it is important that you share your deep and meaningful emotions!

Littlepurpleprincess · 12/02/2012 20:29

Biscuit There ya go!

Vcarroll · 12/02/2012 20:33

litlan I had a vision of you on the buggy board that made me chuckle. I am 5ft 10" hubby 6ft 2" so we are making sure the pram has extendable handles.. I know that the iCandy does i think most decent ones do nowadays and sounds like you will defo need to check for that in whatever buggy ou go for!

Vcarroll · 12/02/2012 20:34

littlepurplepricess is that a pic of a sore nipple? :-)

Angelico · 12/02/2012 20:34

Tiny bosomed ladies count your blessings. I have great honkers to start with and after a slow beginning they are beginning to swell alarmingly... DH's eyes glint every time I walk into a room which would be fine if I could let him near them. They hurt tonight.

Grandoldduke love it lol. If I start singing to the bean it might never want to come out, afeard of dragons etc in the cold outside world!

Oh and I have that book 'What to expect when you're expecting' and apparently bean should really be called the blueberry this week. By the end of next week it will be the size of a large raspberry. Not just an average raspberry - oh no! A LARGE raspberry!!! ROFL

Hi everyone!

Kerry love, don't feel sad Sad just remember there are so many emotions flowing through us and I know it is very hard to find a balance of how we feel in our pregnancies. A baby is a blessing and should be cherished as you have said before. I have little money, not enough room to house another baby ( and oh my what if its twins yikes) I already have stuff from my Dd but can't help but look at what else I can buy!! You have been through so much lovey you are bound to feel the way you do and I admire your strength, sense of humour an honesty you bring to the thread!

To everyone searching for equipment, I reviewed all of mine before I bought on mumsnet and also went with how many pennies I could use for things! Very exciting!

On a funny note, I did the Most massive constipated turd Blush on the harvester before I realised there was no paper ah ah ah Blush BlushConfused

Angelico · 12/02/2012 20:36

Oh and vits I am also on Sanatogen mum to be double pack - multivit and omega 3 (I don't eat fish so it's insurance). Fruit and fruit juice makes me bleugh at the minute so trying to eat my veg and drinking the odd ribena for extra vit c.

litlan · 12/02/2012 20:36

lol, yes! glad i made u smile, what were the names of the other ones? ive just tryed to find your last post, but am getting completly lost! lol, to make your image of me even funnier, i have big boobs (already) although not dolly parton size! and tiny size 3 feet! its any wonder i dont topple over! lol

Vcarroll · 12/02/2012 20:38

angelico I have that book but I refer to it as 'the scary book' lol

A LARGE raspberry hey... You must be very proud to have cooked one of those! Lol my sesame seed dreams one day of being a LARGE raspberry!

Chunkychicken · 12/02/2012 20:41

Better to go up to a C than have to get a 34G because they don't do a 32GG in m&s maternity bras littleprincess & vCarroll although I do sympathise with struggling to get a bra!! Mine are a bit saggy & baggy this time round & therefore in less pain; because I breastfed & when I had to stop, the illness that forced me to stop (medication/hospital visit) caused me to lose a fair bit of weight, so they got a bit 'deflated'. So I'm not in as much pain & hoping they'll stay less painful because they've already 'stretched' once!! Wishful thinking maybe??!! Hmm Hopefully they'll still get a bit perkier than currently though... :o

Vcarroll · 12/02/2012 20:41

litlan I had said iCandy jogger, Maxi Cosi Mura (but someone that owns one did respond saying they are rubbish) and there is also mountain boggle, Phil and Ted Explorer and Quinny Speedi. Disclaimer: I have seen NONE of these in real life lol

litlan · 12/02/2012 20:42

how big is a 6 week embryo? anyone know? kiiwi? potato? is it ready to come out yet? im done waiting! lol, im going to drive everyone nuts! guess how im gona tell my mum, im going to buy one of those car signs 'grandchild on board' and wrap it up and give it to her next sunday! lol im so excited! :)

Littlepurpleprincess · 12/02/2012 20:42

LOL!!! It's a cookie for nasara!

Sorry to harp back the prawn issue but I want to be sure. I got the M&S valentines meal and the starter I chose is prawn cocktail. Can I eat or not? Confused

Stupidly I chose it instead of camembert, because I can't eat that....

Littlepurpleprincess · 12/02/2012 20:42

6 weeks is a lentil litlan

TheGrandOldDuke · 12/02/2012 20:46

The maxi cosi mura has an extendable handle, but even on the long setting it's not long enough for me 5'9. It's bulky, difficult to assemble and disassemble on your own, takes up loads of car space.... But that's just how we found it. But everyone is different and has different criteria, so don't let me put anyone off :-)

Anyone else due Oct 4th?

Vcarroll · 12/02/2012 20:46

litlan I have consulted the app - you are currently the proud owner of.... A lentil! This week you are mostly making mouth, nose and ears!!!

litlan · 12/02/2012 20:46

a lentil! :( thats so tiny! so i cant really blame that for my big tummy that has suddenly appeared! oh well id better put the chocolate bar down! before im as big as a house! x

Vcarroll · 12/02/2012 20:48

littlepurpleprincess the guideline on prawns is well cooked, in date and reputable source... I'd say you're ok but the prawn cocktail isnt hot so I'm not 100%

Littlepurpleprincess · 12/02/2012 20:48

Very tiny, but already is developing eyes, ears and mouth, and his/her heart is beating. Smile

Vcarroll · 12/02/2012 20:49

Apparently a belly in early pregnancy isn't the baby its bloating...
