Glad all is ok Laura.

My symptoms have gone too I feel it's very early with DS I was still feeling rough at 15/16 weeks. I finally have date for MW week on Thursday being fair they could have made it this Thursday but next Thursday suits better with work.

I have a hen do next weekend, need a blinking good excuse not to drink. Any really good ideas?
 
We announced on Facebook today! These are the pics we used! :)

How exciting Bubbles! That is such a cute announcement.

We've only told a handful of people and are waiting until after my sons bday party next weekend to make the official announcement. I found a really cute idea online - we're going to post a pic of DS in his crib with an eviction notice taped to the outside saying a new tenant is going to occupy the premises beginning Dec 2016. It's kinda sad but sooo cute, and all in fun of course!
 
Joy that is a super cute idea! Also can you believe we are about to have one year olds?? So crazy!
 
Bubbles, I really can't believe it. Where has this year gone?! It's kinda scary to think how fast time is going to fly once we have two.:wacko:
 
Bubbles, they're lovely pics. I've got a similar top for my ds that we're going to take pictures of him in for our announcement, which will probably be tomorrow. I've got my dating scan tomorrow. Eeeeeek!
 
Bubbles - that's a lovely announcement! Joyofmylife - I love that idea too!

Tommyg - I'm proof that symptoms can go and everything can still be ok. Hope the appointment goes well. In terms of not drinking, I find it pretty much impossible to do so without people guessing! You could speak to the barman at the beginning to say every time you order a vodka and lemonade (for example), you just want a lemonade. Or there's the whole "I'm on antibiotics" excuse. Good luck!
 
Bubbles that's a lovely announcement :) I haven't decided what I'll do for mine yet. We have quite a few people we still need to tell first that we won't be seeing for a couple of weeks, so I expect we will wait a few weeks to do a big announcement.

DH was out last night and stayed in a hotel so I had the whole bed to myself! He is not back yet so DS and I are having a lazy morning in bed watching films. I did still wake quite a few times in the night but I do feel much better this morning - I had nearly 11 hours of sleep :haha: it was so nice to go to bed when DS did as I was so tired and had a really bad headache last night.

I also bought a massage pillow from Amazon and it arrived yesterday. I used it for the first time this morning it is amazing!! Has really sorted out the pain in my upper and lower back.
 
Also Tommy g I don't really have any suggestions on not drinking! Luckily I normally get away with it without anyone noticing as I'm not a big drinker anyway and usually drive. However a hen do is a lot more tricky!! Maybe you could say you had a bit of tummy trouble yesterday and don't want to trigger it off again.
 
If it was just a night out it would be easy to hide but the Hen do makes it blinking hard. I'm not convinced that any meds excuse will wash with a couple of nurses and somebody who is married to a pharmacist.

I'll keep thinking though. I think trying to hide the fact I'm not drinking might be my best bet.

Would it wash to say I am on a diet? Alcohol has too many calories?
 
Probably more convincing than a medication excuse!! Or say you've had a bad headache all day and don't want to trigger it off again?
 
Just have to ask, what's a hen do?

Loving all the scan pictures! I have one early Monday morning to be sure growth is progressing since I measured behind at my first scan. The ob said she wasn't worried, but agreed to schedule this one to put my mind at ease. Still having a ton of symptoms so I'm not horribly nervous, but you never know.
 
Hen do is a girls night out with the bride prior to the wedding. Girls version of stag do
 
I was wondering what a hen do was too haha! Thank you for the explanation. In the US we call it a bachelorette party.

So I just about had a heart attack this morning - I cautiously stepped on the scale (which I've been avoiding cause I'm eating like a pig) and I've already gained 8.5 lbs. Holy cow, how did this happen?! I gained 50 Lbs with my son & luckily I lost it all but I'm on track to gain the same amount if not more this pregnancy. I've been insanely hungry so I guess I shouldn't be that shocked, it's just scary to actually see the numbers on the scale.:dohh:

I've gained 16 lbs!!! :( I'm someone who is normally so careful and health conscious but I'm just starving all the time. From today I'm going to try and stick to the number of calories I need for maintenance to avoid gaining any more.
 
I'm constantly hungry too, hunger wakes me at around 4am every morning, haven't bothered getting on the scales as I know I'm gonna be traumatised 😳. Can't think of a better reason to gain weight tho 😍 Xx
 
I am definitely CONSTANTLY hungry right now too. It's funny because 3-12 weeks I was getting full after like 3 bites...now I seriously feel like I cannot get full! WTF! Guess it's just normal, I've lost 5lbs up till now but I am absolutely sure I will start gaining now that I am so ravenous.
 
I'm sure that this is around the corner for me too! It happened last time and I gained a lot!!! So far this time, my appetite is still tiny. I get full after a few mouthfulls. I need to be careful this time!
 
I don't know if I have gained yet, my clothes feel tighter but I have a very bloated stomach. I am definitely managing to eat more than I did in first Tri with my last pregnancy - I couldn't keep much down last time. This time I have to eat to keep the nausea at bay! I am not really worried at the moment as I feel so rubbish at times that I'll do anything to be able to function normally!!
 
I'm starving all the time too! I'm not venturing near the scales though - I've not been on since before my son was born!! I'm 14 weeks 2 days and my bump seems huge already!!!!

Good luck for your scan tomorrow Scooby!!!
