smiles shyly and shuffles feet nervously

Blind - am thrilled for you, the first scan is a lovely feeling and you will feel much less worried for a little while now!

Stred come on in & introduce yourself....

No headache and no vomiting this morning. I almost feel human! Please let this be the start of my bloom....

FX for your bloom thunder. I meanwhile am working from home, and sitting on the sofa trying to find the energy to tie my hair back for the vomiting session i can feel approaching in the next 5 mins.

How is everybody else getting on? Do we need an updated list?

Brilliant news kitty, and wow what a clear picture of your bean! I'll let you off for not joining Team Boom, I'll just twiddle my thumbs and wait for puppy...

Hello stred, come on in, tell us your tale of triumph over adversity etc etc

Hurrah, thunder's blooming! Sorry you're not feeling the 2nd trimester love yet merk

Oh no merk I was hoping you were going to day that your suspected bloom the other night was here to stay. I guess it may be a gradual process? I won't count my chickens....

Hi stred, what's your name and where'd 'you come from? (Cilla style)

hi stred, what's up?

my sickness is still hanging around. still sitting around all day watching daytime tv with a bowl next to me. sick pay is worrying me a bit, but I don't actually know what I'm being paid because work posted the payslip without a blooming stamp and I'm not buying 1.50 of stamps just for that. I should log on to my account and check but I can't bring myself to switch the computer on. I'm so lucky mum is a retired gp so she can nursemaid me.

boom I have a video as well of its little heart beating!

merk really didn't expect to cry though! Sorry you're feeling pants again. Sure 2nd trimester blooming isn't too far away

tally you just concentrate on getting better. Hope you're feeling better soon

Maybe it was just a flying visit from stred

Stred under a new name!!

Hello everyone!!! I think I'm 6 weeks pregnant!! Currently waiting on a dating scan which will, hopefully be next week! First time, nervous, excited & scared in equal measure. Currently living off any nutrient deficient bread product and lemonade!!

stred
Sorry flew off to work!! I'm down in Cornwall!!!

Decided to change my nickname to grainofrice as it's the current size of our little one! Other name was a bit bor-ing.....

So my story- period was regular as clockwork every 31 or 32 days, then in August it was a week late. Test after test came negative- I was convinced I was pregnant. Then suddenly I was bleeding and the Dr suspected we had fertilised an egg but it hadn't implanted. I was devastated, but had to put on my big girl pants as less than 48 hrs later we jetted off to Turkey for a fortnight.

When we got back I thought I'd best do a quick test to make sure everything was as it should be. I poas and a single solitary line appeared so I shoved it back in the box and got on with things.....but then AF was not 31 days, nor 32 so off I trotted to poas again and TWO lines appeared!!! And when I pulled the old test out of the box it had two lines too!!!! So now we don't know what that was in August and how far along I am.... I suspect 6 weeks but am happy to have a cheeky scan to see my little grain of rice......

Such a lot to catch up on here! Have been off sick again today as I seem to have caught a cold, which has added dizziness, headache and runny nose to my already stellar list of pregnancy symptoms - yay!

Welcome grain - so exciting after an up and down summer! Good luck for your scan.

kat so pleased for your great news! Must feel such a relief to make it over the 12wk line. Only a week away from my 12 wk too.

tally glad things are improving for you, though sorry it hasn't relented. And after today, I can sympathise with being subjected to daytime TV

merk I wasn't sure about finding out the sex, but DH wants to know and I'm coming around to the idea of finding out and being able to get excited about another little piece of information.

thunder hope your bloom is here to stay. It's giving me hope - currently convinced that all my symptoms will last to 20 40 weeks

grain what a lovely surprise for you! I had my first scan yesterday (6+6) and you could see the heart beating

poppy guess your immune system is weaker because of the pregnancy. Hope you're feeling better soon

Fresh meat heading our way
