@Keepingcomfy aww congratulations, it's defo good news it means you're "really" pregnant Grinxx

Rnic1x · 01/05/2020 12:26

@notalwaysalondoner I haven't told anybody yet, I've ordered cards for them all though and putting 12 week scan in it, won't tell anybody until then x

Keepingcomfy · 01/05/2020 12:41

@electrictonight Hahaha aww thanks 🤗 I had been doing so well this week but then last night the fear got to me! It's probably because I watched Life and Birth on iPlayer! I was crying my eyes out 🤣

djmbaker · 01/05/2020 13:03

@notalwaysalondoner I feel really harsh on my mum as I just texted her and told her 🤦🏻‍♀️ I think I was in shock so I needed that motherly advice. But now, I do feel bad that's she's not had the news delivered in an exciting way 😂😂

I am going to do something nice with the scans though for her and my mother in law. Make it special somehow..

I saw these cute things on Pinterest that said something like "Santa isn't the only one coming to town this Christmas" I like that idea..

Afternoon girls, im struggling today I feel really exhausted and generally unwell 😥 pulled myself together showered did hair makeup etc and now I'm under a blanket feeling so poorly. No appetite at all. Waves of feeling sickly. So tired. Think I might nap this afternoon I'm still not sleeping good and having crazy dreams.

Sorry to put a downer on!

@Natt99 I bet your a bag of nerves and excitement for your scan! Can't wait to see a pic ❤️

Good idea @djmbaker I'm gonna have a look on Pinterest for announcment ideas

Keepingcomfy · 01/05/2020 13:15

@katbaby and @djmbaker I'm planning on telling my mum and dad on zoom on Tuesday. I don't think I'll be able to get the words out without crying so I'm going to draw a picture of a stork carrying and a bundle that says 'baby due on 15th Dec' and hold it up.

It maybe sounds a little silly but it could be cute, and although I'm not really artistic (at all) colouring in etc has been good for mindfulness

Katbaby · 01/05/2020 13:18

Aww @keepingcomfy that's a lovely idea.

I bet there will be some tears! Do you live close by to your parents?

Keepingcomfy · 01/05/2020 13:23

@katbaby Not really close enough to justify a journey to their house 😔 Missing them so much! I can't wait to see their faces when they find out. And I think Zoom calls can be recorded as well which will be lovely to keep. I'll be crying a lot I think 🤣

Rnic1x · 01/05/2020 13:33

@Katbaby aww I hope you feel better soon :( see your symptoms are coming on now you'll soon hate them all 🙈 x

djmbaker · 01/05/2020 13:35

@Keepingcomfy that's a lovely idea!! I think finding out your going to be a grandparent is lovely however your told. My mum and dad were over the moon and they got told over WhatsApp 🤦🏻‍♀️.. I just hope everything goes well this time.

@Katbaby ohh bless you!! Just rest up.. try and eat, even if it's just plain beige food? I've been like you today, I feel SO sick and I'm really crampy.. it was all down my right side this morning like a stitch but now it feels like my left ovary is being poked. Very odd??? Nothing painful just weird?? I am really windy though 🤦🏻‍♀️ so I wonder if it's that.. No idea what it all means. 🙈

@Natt99 oooh good luck with your scan tomorrow!! How exciting. How many weeks do you think you are?? xx

@Katbaby I am! It's not until 4pm though so got most of the day to wait 😫 Boden sent me a gift voucher as it's my birthday soon, couldn't resist looking at their baby stuff and some Christmas clothes are on sale. If everything goes ok I might buy these cute pj's 😍
Sorry you're not feeling so good. Taking it easy seems the right thing to do. Do you think it's worse because we're not all going about our daily lives so that would take our minds off it?! www.boden.co.uk/en-gb/cosy-twin-pack-pyjamas-hike-green-jolly-christmas/sty-y0793-grn

Natt99 · 01/05/2020 13:40

@djmbaker I'm pretty sure I'll be 6+4 tomorrow, they do give you their estimated date so that'll be interested.
Love your idea of Santa's not the only one coming to town, or you could say down the chimney 🙈
My husbands a bit of a joker and he keeps saying he's going to get a t shirt with a sperm on it saying "winner" so embarrassing! 😩

PocoyoandEllie · 01/05/2020 13:44

I really don’t remember feeling this poorly with DS but I was going to work as normal so maybe I was more distracted!

Katbaby · 01/05/2020 14:19

@Rnic1x @djmbaker @Nat99 thanks girls. Managed a cheese and pickle sandwich. I've also decided I'm craving Salt and vinegar crisps, we don't have any so I've sent husband to the shop cos I NEED them.

Those little Christmas pj's are precious😍😍

@keepingcomfy aw let me know how your announcement goes!

Also why am I so COLD! Cannot get warm for the life of me

Katbaby · 01/05/2020 14:20

Not speech and language therapist... Just crisps, 🤣

Elmlee · 01/05/2020 14:23

How far gone are all you ladies and when are you planning on telling friends and family? Xx

SettyBuarez · 01/05/2020 14:33

@Katbaby I'm freezing too, but then boiling at night. Also craving salty things too, specifically cheese doritos.
Hope your sandwich has helped a bit.

Rnic1x · 01/05/2020 14:35

@Katbaby I'm freezing sat with heating on :( been like this on and off for days, I might even get a bath and see if that warms me up x

@elmlee I'm 6+1 but I'm not telling anybody until 12 week scan, what about you? X

Marshmallow1102 · 01/05/2020 14:38

@Elmlee I'm somewhere between 7+6 and 8+3 depending on whether I'm using calculator dates or LMP date! I told my mum a week ago over the phone because I was feeling sick and wanted reassurance from someone who has been through it! I've got a private scan booked for next Friday, and if everything is OK I'll tell dad, siblings and in laws after that! Still going to wait until after 12 week scan to tell our friends though! 😊

Elmlee · 01/05/2020 14:47

@Rnic1x your literally 1 day in front of me. We are thinking the same. Waiting for 12 weeks I think.

@Marshmallow1102 ooo I would like an earlier scan but not sure. I'm quite anxious. I keep wanting to use my strip pregnancy tests to make sure it's still positive.

Got sore back, slight pelvic pain, almost like vagina pain ( I know it sounds odd). Need a wee loads 😳 very very tired

Elmlee · 01/05/2020 14:48

Ah and I cried again before at sons of anarchy 🙈

Rnic1x · 01/05/2020 14:57

@Elmlee yeah 12 weeks then I know everything should be fine. Ohh I cry at sons everytime I watch it I've watched the whole series so many times it's my fave! Have you seen Mayans MC? That's good too, love stuff that like!

Is this your first baby? Sorry if you've already said I can't remember who said what im useless x

Katbaby · 01/05/2020 15:09

Well I've eaten enough crisps to completely dry out my lips but I feel so much better now! @SettyBuarez yes sandwich helped but crisps gave me LIFE.

🤣🤣

so husbands just been told he's going back to work on Monday 😕 feel apprehensive of being alone all day 5 days a week 😭😭

@Rnic1x thank god I'm not the only one freezing. Feel like there's something wrong with me as apposed to being pregnant?!

Rnic1x · 01/05/2020 15:12

@katbaby I just asked dp if it's cold and he said he was cold too so maybe we're just normal 😂 how your boobs today? X

Katbaby · 01/05/2020 15:19

@Rnic1x they are fine, slightly tender nipples but other than that fine!
How are you feeling today?
