Kristin,

I LOVE the front page! Thank you for taking the time to do that!

YEY for all my fellow appleseeds!

Is it bad that I am thinking of excuses for the time to go by faster? Like lets take next week for example...Monday is Thanksgiving Monday so NO WORK (those days always go by faster!) then I work Tues, Wed, Thurs then I have to be off Friday because I am in a wedding. Then it is the weekend again! By the time that weekend is over I will already be 6 and a half weeks! The countdown to 12 weeks (nov. 24) is on! 46 more days! Doesn't seem so long when I think of it that way I guess.......

We had Thanksgiving dinner here last night and my brother's girlfriend just hit 13 weeks. Is is bad that I am super jelous? She already has a tiny belly too.... I just want to be safe. Each day I don't feel a LOT of symptoms, or weaker symptoms I worry something is wrong. Like today, I woke up and just laid in bed for a few minutes and all I could feel was ANOTHER urge to pee and my boobs are still super sore, but no nausea or anything. I keep poking my boobs everyday and think "yup still hurt! we're good!".....

I will be MIA again today because we are heading to the DH's Aunts house for Thanksgiving #2 today! wish me luck!

is any one else having cramps?? =(

[hakunamatata]

How severe are the cramps? I was reading that a little bit of cramping is normal but if it's really painful u should call the doctor.

Ive been getting some cramps too today low down on my right side near my hip ?

Ive just googled and found this :

'The kind of cramps you get in early pregnancy aren't usually as strong as monthly period cramps can be and are often caused by the ligaments stretching as the uterus grows. If it feels more like mild tugging than a stabbing pain, then you probably have nothing to worry about.'

 

[charliekitty]

they arent severe or really that painfull just annoying!

i cant remember what it was like last time!

but i do feel quite gassy...

 

[kaboom]

yeah mine are really annoying too so im just going for a nice bath soon

does anyone else have bum problems I can't seem to stop going to the toilet ?

I'm having cramp as well, they're annoying rather than painful though so I think it's normal....

Yeah...What my bump twin said!

Gas comes from the bottom AND the top now....I literally daren't move in case I leak air!

On a different note, I don't know how big/small you ladies are but I tried on some maternity jeans in Mother Care today and I'm all depressed and shit now....My thighs won't fit in their UK 18's

I'm a typical "pear" shape, anyone know of a decent place to get maternity jeans from in the UK in real sizes?

 

[disneybelle25]

know what you mean by gassy!!!
Girls I have no idea what I am doing either...lol we'll find our way together!!!
How are we all?
I'm rather excited to be an appleseed now!
jessica I'm gonna do that now and measure, reckon I'm more than 11, quite round as it is lol!!I'm sooo jealous that you are off to Disney, what a wicked holiday!!!!
Charlotte and Claire I'm getting cram ps too, all over the flippin place and I find a nice warm bath helps, I've stopped worrying about them otherwise I'm permanently stressing lol! Think Kristin is right that if they are really painful to get them check out!
Lindsay what a brilliant idea, I agree short targets are such a good way to wish time away!!! It's awful isnt it coz once the baby arrives we will miss this bit bit we can't help it! I've got 2 weeks til half term then I'm booking a private scan to make sure everything is OK.
