I'm a community nurse. I don't think I could handle the heartbreak of working in neonate. We don't do 12 hour shifts out in the community, wish we did!! I miss my 4 days off a week. But I'm thankful for the maternity benefits in the NHS!! Lol. Have you told them you're expecting yet? I don't know when to tell our sister. Don't think she's going to be too pleased, short staffed and already have 1 off on mat leave.

I'm lucky in that sense, I don't do baths. I'm too fidgety. Lol. But I love a hot shower. Or not so hot as it has to be now.
 
Oh but I love the neonates. I love seeing them grow up. One year birthday parties are the best. Plus, I'm way too tiny to be lifting adults! :haha: I'm not telling work til at least 12 weeks. My job isn't too strenuous nor do they need to replace me after so I don't want to tell them too early. I haven't told anyone but my DH as his family is blabbers (the whole extended huge family would then know) and I want to tell mine in person specially.
 
I've told my manager but only because there's major stress about holiday next Christmas and I wanted to warn her I won't be there.
 
I agree girly, I can't stand baths either!

I haven't told anyone either, other than DH. Gonna try and avoid telling anyone else until Christmas (as I'm going to present 'Glam Gran' and 'favourite pops' mugs to my mum and dad) and then no one else until 12 weeks :)
 
Hi, can I join in for 5th Aug please? Very cautiously pregnant right now but third time lucky?!
 
could we amend the tags to allow people to find us? add mums, moms and due?
 
I'm wondering about telling work soon as I work in a deprived area and we do have to visit some awful environments. We have patients who have been known to open the door with a shotgun!! These are always double ups but even going with someone else I don't want to have to go into places like that while I'm pregnant.

As for telling friends and family, OHs family is exactly the same Jenzy. It'd be up on Facebook and everywhere!! Lol. They're being told when we have a scan to show them. My parents will possibly find out sooner, but in person. At least I know they'll keep it to themselves. Still thinking of waiting until after Xmas to tell them. Am a bit concerned my mum will know when I don't have wine with Xmas dinner.

Have any of you figured out how to hide it from extended family over Christmas and colleagues at Xmas work parties?

I have a Xmas,night out tomorrow. Not sure whether to make up an excuse or just pretend I am drinking. I know they will know cos I always drink unless I am pregnant!!
 
I guess I should introduce myself....since we will be together for 9 months.

I live in the Georgia US.
Third child.
I live on a farm. We have 7 baby calves.
My hubby is a Fireman.

My DS was born 6 years ago and I feel like a Noobie to all this.
I'm excited, bloated, hungry all together!

I love making new friends to obsess with. LOL!

H&H 9 Months to you all!
 
hey guys, what is the type of digital test that also tells you approximately how many weeks you are?
 
It's 7:50pm and I'm waiting at a restaurant to be seated... WHAT was I thinking? I'm going to sleep until noon lol My friend is in from our of state so we are having dinner. She's about 20 weeks pregnant herself so she's crazy too lol

I'm hungry and all this sitting and waiting is not fun! My pats are right from all the bloating! lol
 
I got my second beta back at 487 at ~15 dpo. Doubling time of 31 hours. It's good time, right? My tests didn't get much darker today, but I guess they are at that point were they are just very dark.

Welcome all the new girls! It's great how many of us are here already.
