Morning all

Wow, it's all been happening! Sorry to hear so many of you have been getting these scares - do these babies not already now what we have been through!?! We don't need any extra stress from them!!

Leah fab scan picture, I can't wait for our next scan, really was just a blob at 9 weeks - I couldn't work anything out!

Grrrr Mumbear I would be fuming too, we haven't told either parents yet - neither side are great at keeping quiet!!

Crikey Karleigh that must of been a scare after all was so well at you dating scan, glad all is okay and they scanned you again quickly.

Welcome Claire!

Glad you are feeling better Joeypops.

Not much too exciting to report this end. Had to pay £25 on Tuesday for a letter from my GP to cancel my holiday, need to chase it up today as still no news on when I will get the letter! We can book something else once we get the money back.

Happy Friday - Amy x
 
Just thread jumping! Haha. Ooo MrsS and mumbear my birthday is the 27th! :) he he. Fab scan pics, exciting that you're all going to be in tri 2 soon, and then it'll be us. Exciting times glad some of your sickness is easing , and hopefully it will soon for the ones still suffering xx
 
Morning ladies,

Aw so we are Nicki. I wonder what will happen are our 12 week scan, if things will change! When is yours?
My mum has told quite a few people too and I tried to be understanding because I know she's excited but I did tell her she needs to reign it in. I was still early days (still am) and she's also stealing my thunder. Some people think they have a right to tell!

I've felt really awful this morning, I've been awake since 6am feeling so sick. I got up and took an anti sickness and I felt worse with that and the sip of water touchin my tummy. I ended up puking it all plus bile, but puking so much I couldn't actually breathe. It was horrible. I have no idea how I'm supposed to work like this!

Amy the difference between my 8+4 scan and 10+1 was amazing. It's so nice to see an actual little baby! I hope you manage to get your holiday money sorted so you can book something else soon.

Sugar, good date then ;) I can't believe tri2 is nearly here. Nice to see Feb mums, makes us all seem a bit further. Hope pregnancy has been good to you so far xx
 
Got my 12 week scan date through today it's the 19th June which is so far away but I did have a scan today and everything is looking good (I put pictures in the Facebook group) baby looked like it was waving and was very wiggly ❤️
And yesterday my little boy cut his 2 bottom teeth finally!!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend x
 
It was a lovely break. I go to the lakes every half term to visit my family and friends. I'd be so fuming about people being told Nicki! It would be bad after the 12 week mark as it's not anyone else's news to share, but before then is just a total no no! We had it last pregnancy. We told hubby's parents at 9 weeks and his grandparents were there. Next thing we're getting messages from aunts and uncles and cousins! This time we're going to be specific in saying 'do not tell anyone!' Whether they'll do it is another matter!

I'm loving seeing the Feb 2018 thread. We're the old timers in the first trimester now! ��
 
Is there a Facebook group? :)


Yeah but it's set to secret so add me as a friend and I'll add you to the group

My name on fb is Nicki Tries and my picture is a snowflake. Doing it this way was the only way the group could stay secret

Sadly we did say don't tell anyone, which she admitted we said :wall2: I bet she's told her best friend too who works where I work.

Have a few people already moved over to 2nd tri? I feel like it's ages away
 
A lot of you have been so ill i know :( but just wondered of anyone is in the weight gain club with me? Its getting me down because i ways fear losing control of my weight.

A good average weight for me is 7st 9 and im up at 8st at the minute possibly 10 weeks pregnant. So thats outrageous gain. But i wonder if slowing down breastfeeding yet eating the same amount or more food is causing the gain.

I actually started losing more a while back down to 7st 6 when i was doing so much more rocking my baby during the night but this gain has been fast. Clearly no self control :(

Perfect I've just added you :)
When does tri 2 officially start????
 
a big hello to all my lovelies from Gran Canaria!
Very very hot, even DH who's Italian is struggling! So far we haven't done anything apart from laze around by the pool! But we're off to the zoo today! Got to try and not get too hot! I really couldn't do heavily pregnant in this heat, or any heat to be honest! Was so impressed with DD on the plane, not a murmur, she sat happily colouring, or she stood in the aisle keeping the couple in front of us entertained. When we fly back we don't leave here until 20.45 & land at Gatwick at 00.50 😳😬 hoping she's going to sleep the entire way home, but that might just be wishful thinking!
Hope everyone is ok, tri 2 starts around week 13/14 so we must have some that have gone over by now? its so exciting that we're ready for a tri 2 thread! Who wants to start it? ❤️❤️❤️
 
I'm 13 weeks on Monday, I wish I was on holiday !!
Very jealous xxx
 
Mel, I've not been weighing myself as I don't want to know!! But I know with my first pregnancy I was eating healthily and going to two exercise classes a week at the start and I was putting weight on. It was one of the reasons I thought I was pregnant. I must have put on half a stone in the first part then by 30 weeks, I'd only put on another half a stone. Put on over a stone more after (pre-eclampsia bloating) I definitely need more self control at the moment though.

GF91, I am soooo jealous. Back to school for me tomorrow!! Final 7 week half term before 6 weeks off. I could really do with a holiday somewhere.
 
There seems to be quite a few teachers on the forum, I too am a teacher 6 weeks until the summer holidays, don't think I've ever been so excited about school hols! Am desperately trying to make it through the next few weeks without having to buy maternity work clothes!

I am officially in my second trimester now at over 14 weeks, but I am due on 1st December. My weight has concerned me because I've already put on 4lbs, I don't want weight to become my key focus but it does get you down. I'm on the borderline for a high bmi so I am already dreading the lectures from the midwife!
 
I can only just do up my work trousers now. I have got a few dresses that accommodate a small bump though so just bought some maternity leggings. I rarely get to buy myself any new clothes any more. (My daughter has lots of lovely clothes) so I resent buying maternity stuff that I'll only wear for a bit!! Got a wedding in September that I need to find a dress for that won't make me look like a floral blimp.

I'm always absolutely shattered in the summer term, so having to do summer term and being in the first trimester is just exhausting. We're overdue Ofsted so the pressure is on. I'm hoping they don't turn up for another 6 months!
 
Im nearly going on for 6lbs gain at 10 weeks its outrageous. But i think its possibly something to do with slowing down breastfeeding too. Its stressing me out i know the baby is tiiiny but i look pregnant and Ive only told one person.

Last time people were still realising i was pregnant at 7 months. Now im just waiting for someone to ask right now :(.but i do just want to eat non stop when im pregnant which doesn't help, must reign it in, trying to embrace salads for the summer haha.

Ive got a wedding in august and september and just been to one the other week, its hard to find outfits isn't it! I wanted to started a maternity range the first time round as i found it so frustrating finding dresses!
 
Hello everyone,

Sorry I've been out of the loop for a while- I need to do another mammoth catch up and find out how you all are! We moved house a week ago and the last week has been really tough - I'm shattered and our 3 year old is majorly unsettled and clingy which is just adding to my exhaustion!

Other than that all is well - my nausea is starting to ease, I've had my first midwife appointment and my 10 week scan and all is looking great. I have to be under a consultant because of the IUGR I had with my son and am going to be gradually weaned off of my progesterone from week 12 which I'm a bit nervous about.

Talking of weight gain I've put on a couple of pounds but feel like I've put on so much more! My shape has completely changed around my middle/hips and people are starting to guess now. Time to get some maternity clothes I think!!

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend xxx
 
I actually feel almost ok today other than tired. I was sick this morning but haven't had the constant nausea which is lovely! Hopefully that's me over the worst but time will tell. Even just getting a day off is nice though!

I've not put on any weight yet but I look like I've put on a good half stone. Ordered a bump band today to keep me going as a hair bobble on my jeans isn't really doing the job any more.
 
Morning ladies, really glad to hear some of you are starting to feel human again.

The past week I've been feeling better which is great. Have a massive craving for raw onions!!! 13+1 now, getting excited for tri 2.

I've literally spent so much money on the baby over the past week it's ridiculous xx
