June Jitterbugs- 2013, 51 babies born 27 boys, 24 girls (145 on the Way)

Your family deffo comes first!!!!! I am sure if she will understand, and hopefully be thrilled for you. Also, have you thought about throwing her bridal shower/party so you can show her that you are there for her too?

@ Phantom: Thanks, I told her yesterday, she was really good with it, disappointed obviuosly as I can't be there, but totally understanding. I feel bad for even doubting that she would react any different! And yes, I told her I would still like to organize her bachelorette and bridal shower, very excited for that! And yes, it is SO amazing and kind-hearted of you to be a surrogate! It speaks volumes of the kind of person you must be!

Ahh no, timings cannot be helped at all when planning a baby, I'm sure ur friend will understand, just tell her as soon as you feel comfortable

X

@ Mellie: Thanks, she was really understanding! I know I'm only 4 weeks and a bit, and things can happen, but I felt like I needed to tell her, for her and for me. I feel so much better now, like the weight's been lifted!

Hi Amber - congrats on your !! I was in the exact same position as you earlier this year. My best friend is getting married on 15th Feb 2013, and I was due on 2nd Feb 2013. I am also the maid of honour. I ended up having an m/c, but before that had been having the exact same thoughts as you - i.e. I didn't want to put my family on hold for her wedding, and wondered if that made me selfish. I truly don't think so.

As it turns out I will now be 23 weeks at her wedding instead - but she's already bought the bridesmaid dresses and my dress is already a bit too small as it is! My conundrum isn't quite so bad as her wedding venue is only a 3 hour drive away, so I don't have to get on a plane or anything, but I'm worried she's going to be a little bit annoyed that I got pg (even though she knows I was heartbroken over the m/c and have been trying again). But at the end of the day she is my best friend and I will have faith that she'll be happy for me - even if I am bursting out of my bridesmaids dress - lol! I am planning on telling her this week even though I'm only 4w today, otherwise I'll stress about it I think.

Good luck hun xxxx

@ nzjade: So sorry to hear you had a m/c, here's hoping your rainbow baby is here to stay!! After I told my friend I felt bad for ever doubting her, and I feel much better now that I've done it. I can't see that your friend would be upset with you at all, even if you do burst out of a seam (that would be quite the memory though! ), she will be VERY happy for you, you deserve it!! Best of luck!

Its 5,20am where i am and i've been awake since 4!!! looks like early preg insomnia has kicked in already. i'm going to be so tired later.

Hey ladies quick question do any of you get ur symptoms more at night????

all day I've been exhausted but tonight it's hit hard also my boobs are super sore at night and also super bloated that's my main symptoms

I've also had a cold since I found out aswell that's not shifting

 

[libbyam2003]

i still dont have many symptoms ... i am tired but i didnt sleep very good so that could be why... ive had off and on soreness in my bbs veins starting to become visible (bbs never hurt with DS until breastfeeding) im bloated a bit and have stretchy feelings ,slight nausea off and on, and i am pretty turned off by food. none of my symptoms are very strong at all ... when should pregnancy symptoms really kick in? not that i really want most of them i just want to know everything is going the way it should. my doctors appointment seems so far away...

It really depends, but it seems like sense of smell and tiredness are the first stages. Then around 6 weeks the nausea really kicks in (if you get it). With my son, I didn't really get morning sickness, but the prenatals made me sick.

We're both at a stage right now that other than out hpts and no we wouldn't know we were pregnant. I hated this stage with my son too. I just wanted SOMETHING to prove to myself that I was pregnant. haha

Yup, I've got the sense of smell so sounds like I'm on track. And I was tired before prego, so hard to tell on that one! Hmm so maybe the nausea is about to start for me.. uh oh!! I took a HPT this morning, ha, just to see the two lines. VERY dark second line, yay!

Hi & congrats to everyone!! Hoping we all have a H&H 9 months!

My due date is June 10th! So far I feel pretty normal other than I feel hungry faster than usual, weird twinges here and there, extremely sore boobs. Still can't believe I'm pregnant...a bit nervous but extremely excited!!

However, I have a bit of a heavy weight on my shoulders right now. My best friend is having a destination wedding when I will be 36 weeks (as long as the lil' one sticks! fx'd!) and I'm the Maid of Honor! Not quite sure how to tell her I most likely won't be able to go. I feel horrible, but we've been trying since before they got engaged and how do you know when it's going to happen right? I wasn't willing to put our family on hold. Does that make me a bad person? I think she will understand...I hope. I want to tell her asap...I feel I should, but I'm only 4 weeks....I don't know what to do.

Since she's your best friend, I'd tell her straight away. But that's me. You gotta do what you feel comfortable with!

Hey can I start a new discussion point? How did your OH/DH/DB/DF react? I just told mine after work tonight (was waiting for a special moment - we haven't had much time alone because my cousin is staying) and he said 'Wow. Congratulations' and a few seconds later: 'What are we having for dinner?' - LOL! Bless him.

Also, a few of you were saying in previous posts that you are worried about m/c etc, but you feel like this time is different. I just wanted to say I feel exactly the same. Last time I could not get excited because I just 'knew' the pregnancy was going to end. I didn't even pat my tummy or talk to the baby or anything (erm, it's not just me who is doing that now right?). This time, I am just so freakin excited I keep getting huge smiles on my face and I just feel like everything's going to be OK this time. I also saw the most BEAUTIFUL rainbow after work today, and that made me feel like it was a sign that my rainbow baby is going to be OK

DH's reaction... he'd been wanting me to have him there when I test, but since I'd tested a lot, he'd stopped. So after I took the test and he'd come in the bathroom for something, he didn’t comment and walked out. So I ran him down and had him come back! Test was soooo faint though so we had to really stare at it. He wasn't super psyched yet until that night when I told him I'd taken another test and it was positive too and I assured him I WAS preggers! I was still having to convince him the next day!

Yay more new comers!! Lots of June babies

Jade - I text my OH, he has just left for work....he text back saying "yeyyyyy xxxx" then two seconds later "oh sh!t, M is gonna go mad" M is my director at work

AFM I managed to get the most sleep I've had so far for the past week and my back and neck don't hurt anymore....yay ! Now to try get DS to walk everywhere and climb into his own carseat....chunky little monkey!!

Off to my parents today to take them to the airport, part of me wants to tell them and part of me wants to wait till they get bk, they are only going for 10 days so I'm thinking wait as then I will be 6 weeks and that little bit further along!

Oh and I had the strangest dream last night that I was sent for a scan and my uterus/ovaries were riddled in cysts, it wasn't a nice dream at all....they told me that the cysts had caused a positive pregnancy test but there was no baby....silly dream!!!

AF was officially due yesterday so I took one last test this morning to rule out a chemical and the test line is as strong as control line....yay!!!

I haven't told my mom yet!! She was out of state when I found out! I want to tell her in person.. but now my dad knows (divorced) and so do my in-laws! Oh dear. Trying to decide if I should still wait for her to get back. I think I need to now or I should have told her awhile ago!

I am more bloated in the evenings.. same as last pregnancy. And fatigue hasn't hit yet, but it was all day last time... that just depends!

 

[Wifey1013]

Ugh typical....sister is treating me to a belated birthday meal and I feel sick as a dog....everything is making me heave I want TGI Fridays!!! Lol tempted to say can we leave it til after 12 weeks but she may withdraw her offer by then

X

Oh no!! Hopefully you'll be able to still enjoy your bday dinner. I want TGI Fridays too!!! Cajun chicken & shrimp pasta....YUM!!!!!!

I love TGI Fridays!! The cheesy chicken and shrimp with smashed potatoes is the best!!! Oh and they make the best mojito (I'd probably abstain from that though)

Oh man, I am so going to TGI Fridays when Hubs gets home next week!! I used to work there years ago, I love the loaded mash and yes the mojitos are to die for!!

Hi, please can I join? I'm due June 12th. Can't believe I'm here after ttc for 7 years got lucky on our first IVF cycle, just doesn't seem real, this is my first post in 1st tri, been wanting to do this a really long time!

Congrats to you!!! Welcome to your new home H&H 9 months!!!

Hi I'm new. Just found out today! Eek! came as a bit of a shock despite trying - just had given up a bit this month. Think i'm due around 15th June.
Just keeping everything crossed now that it will be a sticky. Is my first so think i'm worrying bout everything!
Great thread and would be very excited for a private facebook page! x

Congratulations!!!! Welcome to the June baby club H&H 9 months!!!!

I would definitely be making it private When I get home I'll create. I think it will have to be by invite only for the highest privacy settings. (But I may be wrong) So I'll update later with all the info

also, welcome Rach-- I'll add you to the list after lunch. hehe

I'm so excited for the facebook page, I too am keeping it quite from friends until 1st trimester is over thanks for putting it together Phantom

I feel like my bb's are way more sore at night but I'm not sure if it's because that's when the girls "hang loose" or because it's at night....hmmmm...

 

[Spunky]

My hubby wasn't convinced... He was certain that all tests are wrong until a week overdue. I had to show three positive tests before he got excited lol
Last time when I was preg with my son, I told him and he was like "right that's great but I really need to pee!" and i caught him in the kitchen afterwards doing a little happy dance

Omg girls my sense of smell has gone crazy. DH brought the paddling pool indoors and I could smell the plastic from the other room! It's the only symptom today apart from one twinge.

So figgen excited for you girl!! SO EXCITING! James' birthday is June 9th. It's a good day! (though he was due May 27th, the 9th is a good day!) Much Love!

Who's up for a June Babies facebook page? I had one with my son and it's great, plus easier to share bump pics/etc.

If there is enough interest I'll make it tonight. I have to have something to do this pregnancy since I don't have to shop for anything. HAHAHAHAHA

I'd be up for this, find it much easier to keep up on FB then in here. Let me know if you want a hand with it.
