**** july mummies 2018 *****

Ugh gave in and took my other clearblue test and it still came up 2-3 weeks. I wish I'd waited because now I'm going to be panicking that my levels aren't rising properly. well done me. So annoyed with myself but really expected it to be 3!

KHTW woohoo ticker time!! lol i did one the other night still so weird seeing that again, need to do one for dd xx
 
Shanivy what a lovely gap between your DD and new baby. Ours gonna be a bit less than 3 years which has me worried at times x

After seeing a way darker line on ic this morning I kind of want to take another tomorrow but also don't want to be dissapointed if it says 1-2 :/x
 
KHTW Thanks I cant wait to tell her after xmas!! *fingers crossed* :)

Dont be worried I think under 3 is actually a great age gap. They'll play together a lot longer. And the teenage gap wont be so much either, so they wont kill each other as much haha. I ideally wanted a 3 year gap but hey ho it is what it is, just grateful for this pregnancy. :)

You lines have been great, maybe hold off until 5 weeks for digi if you can? I wish I had taken your advice and waited haha xx
 
Thanks for saying that! I will hold off and test on saturday x Will ypu wait until you're 6 weeks or you think you may test again in a couple of days? X

I hope the 2 will get along and most of all i hope DD accepts the new baby and that she has to share mummy and daddy. Right now I am not even allowed holding another child's hand... she has a meltdown every time! X

Gosh I know that worries me too. I asked DD would she like a baby brother or sister and she said no Im getting a baby born from santa haha.

Lol thats so cute at least you know she loves you :) ! I'm sure they'll both have to adjust to having new babies in the house & sharing us.Must be a shock for them too. I'm going to just get DD to help me with the baby to keep her involved once they're here. Even like getting wipes or helping put bibs on. And give her a present from the baby when its born and get her to make the baby one. Things like that.

You go girl with the willpower haha! No I'm done testing until I'm 6 weeks or Ill drive myself nuts. xx

well I have been so so ill today. I really hope I have a bug because there is no way I could cope with this for weeks on end

I've been really nauseous all day, now got sharp tummy pains and a bad head. I've tried sitting by the loo but not managed to be sick yet. hoping I will be soon

Oh no sorry to hear that! Sounds a bit like a bug with the tummy pains and headache. Maybe not morning sickness? But could be something you've eaten doesn't agree with you, pregnancy can do that. Headache could be dehydration tho, keep drinking if you can.Hopefully it passes soon hun xx

Had a horrible crying breakdown today. All because OH told his twin brother about the pregnancy. I hysterically cried because someone knows and now if I lose the baby someone will know. Oh so silly x

I know exactly how feel about this! My OH told his mum today! We both agreed to wait a few more weeks just to make sure everything was definitely okay.. I am so angry about it!
I guess they are just over excited. It’s mine and my partners first baby so it’s hard to know who to tell and when. So don’t feel silly your not the only one! Keep positive :)

When you've agreed, it's downright fucking disrespectful and rude to take that moment away from you.

I get the Twin thing JemRose, but again, if you'd decided together not to say anything, it's just not right.

I have zero tolerance for this sort of thing. When I first fell pregnant, we agreed to keep it to ourselves. I broke down completely on the phone to my mum one day as I already knew I was probably losing it. She was so worried, not for one second believing my excuse, that her and my dad drove up that night to see me. As soon as Dan got home, they arrived, he couldn't believe I hadn't told them but said it made him feel like my number one to wait for him and share it with him...as he said, by the point, it was not a happy thing to share and he didn't think I should have to do it alone.

JemRose...as a side note, your brother-in-law knows now so you can't take it back...try to see the positive...you have someone in your court until you tell everyone else. It's really good to be able to have another person who knows. I understand your fears, but if the worst did happen, trust me, the extra support can be the difference in coping and especially for your oh. Men find this stuff really difficult, so it'll be nice that he has his twin to lean on, good ro bad.

But, like I said, I'd be incandescent.
 
Thanks guys, I have told my mum as I share absolutely everything with her. But I can guarantee she won't let it slip. I don't trust his brother to not let it slip.

I don't know, it is what it is. But I'm paranoid now that it's all jinxed!

Same as you kayla, this is our first baby and we're clueless. I guess he just needed to talk to someone about it. I don't think he did it in a nasty way or disrespectful way x

Not silly at all, if this is how you feel than that is it. Did you and OH not agree on not telling anyone? He must be so excited he just couldn't keep it to himself x

There's usually never a bad intention. I have family members who would spread the news the moment they heard...knowing full well how upsetting it would be, so I guess I am bit sensitive over it, lol.

We had our engagement announced and the excuse when that person was reminded that we told them to keep it quiet was, "but I was excited, I'm really looking forward to it". Because obviously, the whole world revolves around them!
 
Yeah that's the problem when they don't take into consideration how sensitive this issue is. It's our lives and if I don't want to say anything yet, then that's how it is. I'm 4 weeks!! Such a volatile stage and anything can happen. I'm more upset that maybe it's bad luck for people to know x

Well, we've done both and it hasn't made a difference to the ones we lost. This time, not told family yet as want them not to be worrying, but a few very close friends know and people at work know...because I've realised it's good to have the support if it does go wrong. That said, I feel really good about this one :)

I'm sure you'll be absolutely fine xxx
 
I'm glad. I'm wondering when to talk to work about things, i don't think they'll be happy at all!!

On another note, does anyone have any recommendations for bras to sleep in? My boobs are just so sore I can't sleep and my normal bra has got too tight. I'm usually a H cup so hard to find comfortable bras anyway x
 
JemRose & Kayla

Ladies Ive just skimmed the replies to you. But you've both a right to be angry.

I hate this type of thing. Its your body, your baby. If you've agreed then that should be that,

My OH told his mum last time as soon as we found out, and I said DON'T TELL ANYONE. She literally told the whole family there and then and I was fucking raging. well she doesn't know this time. And wont until I give her a scan. Just my mum knows. I think our mums are different cause usually we can absolutely trust them to keep their daughters secrets to themselves.

Completely agree with GG. Not on at all. Especially with your first, its your exciting news to share, when you're ready. And if anything happened (not saying it will) you'd then have to explain to people what happened when you never wanted to tell them yet.

JemRose I get its OHs twin but Id still be fuming regardless . Also you're not jinxed babe xx

Dont have to tell work until 15 weeks so you could wait until youve past the 12th. Depends on your job. I will be telling my manager sooner cause I have to carry an alarm for certain people I work with incase they get violent so Ill need a risk assessment

Also soft bras/sports bras with no underwire. Marks and Spencer do great ones Im always getting them for clients at work from there xx
