[KaL29]

Hi KaL nice to have you on board.

tomorrow I'm going to go through everything in the spare room get oh to put stuff up into the attic get this cladding shifted and sell my old make up desk to make a smaller one otherwise poor baby wont have a bedroom xx

Gosh glad you have the energy I feel worn out now! Already! How are you finding the lockdown? X

Seeing as I'm supposedly due end of December I thought I'd make a thread for all the december mums that are before me and are homeless so far lol.

Hi
I'm Beverley, long ago pf regular when I was first pregnant in 2011. My girls are 8 and 6 now and it's taken this long to get hubby to agree to another. Started ttc in December and got a faint pos this morning so I'm hanging out hoping itll get stronger before I go telling ppl. But you know how it is you gotta tell someone!

Hi the for making the forum thread I’m due the 18th so guess the first one atm!!! I’m 7 weeks today I think it works out as

 

[EllieH]

I’m only about 4/5 weeks, the only thing that really helped for me was prescribed tablets, I still have some left over but got a stern warning from doctor that no medication is 100% safe and she would prefer a different tablet but they’re ok.
and to make sure I try natural remedies first, ginger biscuit etc

nah booking in appt with my midwife is 8wks, will probably some over the phone then 12 wk scan 16week appt with midwife. Providing I don’t need to see a consultant x

 

[exohx123]

I've been really lucky for some reason with this pregnancy I'm a migraine sufferer and I've had 1 migraine this whole 6 weeks I'm so happy it's like baby is helping migraines.


haha theres days where I do stuff and I crash lmao today ihad planned to go food shopping but I'm still lying on couch shattered we have tea ordered tonight aswell so I dont even need to cook. currently watching nadiya time to eat on netflix and shes so good quick n easy recipes I need some ideas for ohs lunches at work.

lockdown got me going crazy I just wanna be back in work but I think lockdown is also keeping me more relaxed until the 12 week mark I'm not doing nothing I shouldn't be and I'm so calm. xx

 

[EllieH]

I like that fact that I’m not tempted to tell anyone haha but that’ll be easier in my new job too, I’m kind of hoping June is when we go back so I don’t have to hide I’m not drinking on my 30th birthday at the end of the month ha

Thanks I will look at trying ginger, I’m hoping I’m not sick this early which means twins!! As I’m a twin and so is my dad! And have lots of sets of both sides so kinda like arghhhh! Lol thanks lady’s

 

[KaL29]

I like the fact most of us want to go back to work but not until June time so we can just relax for the first 12 weeks and then share our wonderful news!!

gosh I still feel sick I just hope that it does pass and isn’t everyday

Also has anyone book early scans I was tempted but feel like I shouldn’t tempt fate and just wait until my 12 week x

 

[EllieH]

If you can afford it and can find somewhere open then go for it, would you have to go by yourself as well? I’ve never bothered, so tempting though!

being this sick this early doesn’t necessarily mean twins, my last pregnancy was so bad I thought it was twins though haha so early and so much, I lost 2 st in weight, honestly there’s a really bad week where it really hits but it does pass, just remember that, it will pass. Hope you don’t get to that point though xx

 

[BevG]

They're really cool.if you left it lying around its probably get fluffy but it's not like glue it's like tacky...its hard to explain lol

 

[BevG]

Welcome kal. You are indeed the first of the bunch so far lol. I'm feeling good today so all is well lol

 

[KaL29]

Aww that’s good it’s so nice to have some people to tell and talk too! Gosh I feel horrible today! Eeeeek exciting thought being my first! I’m praying it’s not twins as I am a twin!! X

 

[exohx123]

I just had the nicest tea ever !!!

greek chicken gyros was insane like amazing and I could eat another I pre ordered these on Wednesday aswell and they did not disappoint

 

[EllieH]

Ooo nice, we had pesto chicken with gnocchi it’s so yum.

KaL twins are ace, it’s daunting to think of but concentrate on the positives rather than anything else. My aunt had twins and I lived with her at the time so I have experience haha I would love this pregnancy to be twins tbh, if I could choose, twin boys.

I’m still surprised I’m pregnant though keep thinking it won’t be real

I would be happy either way!! just a bit scary! I’m glad I work with children so I have some idea of what I need to do lol!

Haha I just can’t wait to tell people seems a lifetime away atm! But I’m sure it will go every quickly making the most of laying in and getting some sleep!! Haha

 

[exohx123]

I know I really want to tell people aswell. someone else In our friendship group is pregnant shes 6 weeks ahead of me announced it the other day.

I've always woke up with hella nausea today i wish i was sick already i hate the feeling of wanting to be sick but not happening

 

[KaL29]

Oh no! @exohx123 Hope that some passes!

How is everyone feeling today?

Another random questions as being my first time I don’t have a clue when will I need maternity clothes? Did you guys use them or just buy bigger I find it hard To find them as already in plus size clothing (16-18) and not many places seem to offer a nice range.

 

[EllieH]

I’m good this morning, enjoying not feeling unwell, I’m sure it will hit me soon.

I work with children too, it does massively help.
especially where I did my course, we had 6week old babies to look after.

There are quite a few place, H&M, new look, ASOS I would say tight trousers (jeans, work trousers) are about 4 months then other clothes after that 5-6 months

 

[exohx123]

I've had to muster up the energy to go food shopping oh is useless and wont get what we need I'm also going delivery driving tonight picked up 3 shifts so any cash I get is going in my tin for baby! doing well so far.

FTM so no idea on maternity side of things I'm only a size 6/8 normally so I'll hopefully get away with wearing size 10/12 when I get a bump.

I'll keep an eye out for any nice mat ranges and tell you if I see any xx

 

[KaL29]

Thanks both of you! I might just empty my wardbrobe as I have loads of clothes that are to big/small anyways as I lost three stone last year but gained some again lmao! (Probs most of it tbh) So I’ve probs got enough to last me if I actually look!! Lucky I wear leggings for work and a work tunic (which when I go back don’t think will fit)

I’m feeling a bit better this morning however not really want to eat which I worrying about going to try maybe some toast in a little while x

 

[exohx123]

I dno what I'm going to do with my uniform we wear white shirt, black tie, black pants or skirt, braces and an apron cant imagine it looking to good with a bump lol. but then again restaurants may not be opening until end of year so I'd be off on mat leave anyway haha.

I know the feeling I'm hungry but theres nothing I want at all I do fancy a cheese toastie so once shopping is done I'm making one. going to brave asda yay xx
