Mine isn't horrible, just tries to be nice and ends up being incredibly overbearing. She has already said ' you don't want to know the baby's sex' - just like that! - to which DH calmly replied, 'actually we've discussed it and we do.' When I said we would go a cheap family holiday just before...

Still trying to cope with it - I find it's worse if my mouth is really dry, so I try to drink plenty of fizzy water.

The first thing I did was make DH read the 'for men' chapter in the NHS book the doctor gave me. It's super-cheesy but it's not coming from you. Can you talk to his mum/sister at all and ask her to explain how she felt when she was pregnant? Might help coming from somone he listens to (if...

I had a scan at 6 + 3 - baby looked like it was driving a car, with yolk sac as steering wheel! :lol:

1. Whats your name? Lin 2. How old are you? 31 3. How far are you in your pregnancy? 9 weeks 4 days (I think) 4. Do you plan to find out the sex? Looking at all the cute baby clothes in the shops, I really want to be able to buy some in advance, and get to know baby bear a bit before I...

They're both right - I'm sure you'll be fine. Men have a way of being so practical, don't they - perhaps he doesn't want to discuss his worries with you because he wants to be strong and support you and not worry you more by showing he might be a bit apprehensive too? :hug:

You're all worrying me now - how am I going to cope with being pregnant and knackered, as well as working??!!

I've only me tmine twice - once for registration and once for blood tests - and she seemed really nice: friendly, understanding, reassurring and kind. Thank goodness!

I feel exactly the same - dr has signed me off for a week (my request - he offered 2!) as Im' tearful, constantly nauseous (sp?), dizzy, breathless, tired, low blood pressure etc etc. I just couldn't cope at work, esp teaching classes of 16 year olds. Crying in lessons isn't a good look for a...

...That's NYE... :D

I saw MW on 24th Dec when she sent off the form for 12 week scan. She saw me again on MYE and said I f I haven't heard a date by 10.5 weeks, to call her and she'd chase it up. I'm 9 weeks today and fingers crossed, hoping for a date sometime this week.

Ours was very much planned - I've been off the pill since our wedding in march, and we'd discussed when we thought would be a good idea, so were WTT all summer. Thing is, I'd convinced myself and thought I'd convinced DH that waiting another year would be a good idea (I'm 31) so I could get a...

runny eggs steak (I usually eat it blue, so would rather give it up for now than have one that's well done) feeling like myself - mentally and physically :(

I hate it too! I've been sleeping for up to 14 hours a day, lazing around all other times, can't go into the kithen without feeling sick, feel nauseous all the time, have low blood pressure so feel dizzy all the time, anemia, weak legs and breathlessness, so going up and down the stairs, for...

I'm sorry you're feeling so up and down! I can't definitely identify with some of what you're saying - since I found out I've been miserable and finding it hard ot get motivation to get off the sofa. Normally I cook and spend lots of time in the kitchen - havn'et done that at all lately and my...
