just to introduce myself.

[DavidsBabyMama]

Hello everyone! I'm new to mumsnet and just thought I'd start a post to introduce me self .. Im 21 and expecting my first baby. I'm just over 9 weeks and my first scan is in 2 weeks time. I'm really nervous but really really excited! I've been sat waiting for weeks for my scan as I found out I was pregnant when I was 3 weeks and I just want to hurry and see ma baby lol was wondering if anyone fancies sharing some pregnancy stories with me to ease the nerves...

Hey, I'm also new to the site and 9 weeks 4 days pregnant :)
oh and I am 24.
This will be my first baby so I don't have any stories but seeing as we are in the same boat, I thought I'd reply to say hello

We haven't told our families or close friends yet (we recently had 2MCs so dont want to tell them til 12 weeks) I told my manager at work and somehow other ppl at work, worked it all out but I think I'm annoying them when I talk about it! so it would be nice to actually be able to talk to someone about it!

Talk to me ! I'm 11 weeks with first baby, and comparatively ancient at 39. My friends' kids are all at school or uni... I'm so behind the curve!

aww thanks! congratulations :)

How are you finding it at the moment?

I'm ok - not sick, the odd wave of queasiness, but otherwise fine. Had a few bleeds which is scary, but junior is still hanging on in there so I'm positive. Chewing my nails at the thought of the 12 week scan next week.... I'm sure everything is fine, but until I know I'm going to fret.

You?

I was having morning sickness (not actually being sick but my stomach was retching and nausea) and then again late afternoon) then it changed to just evening. I got some sickness bands at the weekend, they are kind of helping.
Chest has got bigger and just feeling tired very early in the evening!

Have you had any scans yet? cos of the bleeds.

I also had some bleeding last week (scary after having 2 previous MC's) bcos of history I rang EPU and I got to have an early scan, then cos of bleeding had another scan. Mind was definitely put at ease, can't wait til 12 weeks then I'll feel more "safe" :)

Hello ladies - if you have a look in the antenatal section, you'll find threads where there are already (probably) lots of posters who are due at the same time as you :)

I booked a couple of scans at the nuffield as my GP is a heartless b*tch with an eye on budgets, who told me to go home, buy some strong painkillers and wait to miscarry Helpful that. Bug-let is a tough little sod though as in the last one he/she was wriggling about and waving his/her arms. Cute

Sorry about your previous mcs, and best of luck x

Well hello everyone! so far we have told our close family and I've told one friend mainly because I couldn't control my excitement lol I've never had a mc but I'm just staying positive.. I've not felt very pregnant, had a bit of sickness but its passed already .. although I do feel a bit fatter don't know if thats normal so early on but I'm defo a bit chubbier haha

best of luck to all of you though :) speshly if you've had mcs before

Thanks :)
Yeah I felt fatter too especially weeks 6-7 belly seemed huge. Doesnt seem as big now, think it was all the hormones!

Good luck with everything, its nice to have people in the same situation to talk to so message anytime!
