Okay so I thought we might start with a kind of 'getting to know you' type Q&A. I know it's a bit cheesy and we already know eachother but i guess lots of info can get swallowed up in big threads so this might just make it all a bit clearer for all of us. I'm making these questions up as I go along so please feel free to offer up any other suggestions.

1. Name?
2. Age?
3. Married or partner?
4. Location?
5. Job?
6. Pregnant with first?
7. How long were you ttc for?
8. Thing you are most excited about over next 8 months?
9. Thing you are most scared about?
10. Describe yourself in 5 words?

I know these Qs are kind of personal but I guess that's kind of the whole point of getting to know people. I'll go first but please feel free to not answer any of the questions or add your own. Xx

Gonna buy some more tests later and keep taking them over the week to make sure results are either getting darker or atleast still positive.

Having horrible af like cramps and a pressing feeling today. Ugh!

You need a how would other people describe you in 5 words too, I think I sound much too sensible...

Sorry Emma! Of course you are welcome here too! What's your EDD again? you will be our resident guru since you've done it all before haha!

So nice to get to know a bit about everyone.

I don't mind mamms or Ann Marie or AM or anything else people want to call me! I have had absolutely no symptoms today (other than tiredness) which made me worried so I did ANOTHER test and line is now darker than control so very happy. I found two tests I didn't know I had at the back of the bathroom cupboard - it was just like finding £10 in those jeans you never wear haha!

How is everyone today? Where's Amy? Hope she's ok!

Marie - we are in the PREGNANCY groups !
Sasha - you are one of us however this goes! You are just as preggers as every one of us xxxx
