OK, unexpctedly pregnant for the 2nd time ... What have I forgotten?

[BBC4lover]

Hi

OK, found out I am pregnant again. Was not really planned but is not unwelcome and I am even starting to be excited about it.

Things is ... I was very ill throughut my first pregnancy and seem to have blocked it all out. Even to the extent I forgot about folic acid tablets. Must go and buy some tomorrow ...

I am only 6 weeks and already my tummy feels a bit extended (wtf?!) and my boobs are uncomfortable in my bra so guess I need to get some new bras too.

What else have I forgotten? Can any of you lovely ladies help me please?

the condom?

sorry, couldnt resist
Everything will probably feel a bit more pregnant sooner than expected with 2nd baby. Just get a pregnancy multivitamin and drink lots and the rest will follow. Make appt to see midwife around 8 weeks.

Thanks MeconiumHappens :o

I have noticed swelling (am convinced people already know as I do have a pregnant belly look - sadly didn't get round to losing the additional weight from the last one so I am a bit flabby anyway and they have probably though that before to be honest) and my boobs are unbelieveably painful (as they are already huge - never went down from last time!)

It's amazing how much you forget!

I'll second that. I'm just rmembering how vile ms is... Only 8 weeks and I'm in new bras already. this didn't happen for ages last time.

Oh MadMonkeys. I feel for you!

I am 2 weeks behind you and no ms yet. Hoping it's because I had far more than my share last time! Hoping positive thinking works. I can't imagine having to look after a toddler and be as sick as I was!

Sorry, but from your title contraception is the only answer

You don't 'need' much and what you do 'need' will become apparent as you go along, I wouldn't worry about it.
