[Tanja871]

Thank you all for your lovely replies! I'm just hoping that this rest will do the trick and help our little bean stick! FXd!!

How is everyone feeling today?

Hi mums! This is my first as well, 22 and nervous beyond belief. Due march 5! When do they usually do blood and hcg level testing? I'll be six weeks July 10 and that's my first appt.. Do they do it then?

Hey Ladybug!

This is my first also and I'm almost identical dates to you!! Turned 6 weeks on 11th July - well this is by my calculations as I still haven't heard from midwife for booking appt - i'm told this should arrive about 10 weeks? (Is this correct mums?!)

So far although I wanted this baby sooo much i'm finding it hard to give up smoking - although have done so with the odd 1 or 2 puffs (never ever full cig!).. Has anyone else found it difficult to stop? Feeling so selfish for finding it hard!

Other than that - I've been told to kick my redbull habit - which strangely has been replaced for a weird craving for smooth tropicana (something ive never ever drunk before pregnant!)

How have you been feeling?

Sorry mums - i'm a first timer with lots of questions and bursting with excitement!

Great to meet you all and hopefully we can all be there for one another! xx

Morning all. Feeling very sick today and food is a no no. I'm praying that I'm not like my mum and sick for the whole 9 months.
On the other hand no other symptoms even had to take a third test this morning to see if it was still true!!!

I should be sleeping but I woke up cause I wasn't comfortable and had to pee. Since I have been visiting the toilet (for other reasons) and refluxing really bad. The joys of pregnancy! (But I wouldn't change it for the world as long as it means my little monkey is safe inside me!)

Hi everyone, can't believe I'm finally in this forum I'm so excited!!

OH and I are in our early twenties and today we found out we are expecting our first I'm due on 20th March.

This sounds stupid but what do you do when you first find out you are pregnant?! I've never been pregnant before. Who do I need to inform?

Hi.

I called my GP surgery the day after I found out. Told the receptionist I didn't know what I needed to do and she booked me in straight away to get the ball rolling.

I saw my GP the next day and she checked my weight and blood pressure and filled out a form. I was also given a folder for all my future notes which I need to take to all my pregnancy appointments. I then had to just wait to hear from the midwife.

Just over a week later I received letters with an appointment with the midwife at just over 9 weeks and a scan appointment at just over 12 weeks.

Hey, I am not feeling too bad a little sleepy, the stomach cramps seemed to have settled down for now.

Hubby is away at the moment so missing him and looking forward to his return! xx

Well... I've just read all 43 pages! What an awesome bunch of gals! So nice to see such support. I'd love to join to. I'm 6 wks today with an EDD of 7th March. This LO will be my 2nd and my DD will be turning 5 in the same month I'm due. Felt pretty nauseous most of today. Have had to already change into a bigger bra. Can't wait for my 1st scan on 25th July. I have days when it just doesn't feel real (they are normally the days where I don't feel too crap)... Then I have other days when I do feel pregnant (when the M/S is in full swing. I've had a MC before my DD so I rock on 12wk mark... Then I'll be able to relax and really enjoy my pregnancy (that's what I'm really hoping anyway). Lots and lots of positive vibes to all of you!

ladies I am really worried today you may think I am being daft but its in my head and I cant shift it!
Right I got a 3+ on a Digi on Monday FMU, and I decided today that I would get a Frer but i used 2nd-3rd pee and the test line was blaring and darker then the control line but not alot. I thought that the Test line would have been way darker and the control line hardly there, as I have seen Is anyone experiencing this as I am going out of my mind here

 

[AmyB1978]

Bubsta, welcome! We have the same due date (according to my internet calculations!)

Paula, I've not had it happen but would try not to worry about it too much as I am sure the tests can all turn out differently. As long as the line is there and still dark I would try not to worry. I've made myself (and so far been successful) stop testing because of that very type of thing possibly happening!

Thanks Lou I will give them a call ASAP!

So far although I wanted this baby sooo much i'm finding it hard to give up smoking - although have done so with the odd 1 or 2 puffs (never ever full cig!).. Has anyone else found it difficult to stop? Feeling so selfish for finding it hard!

Hi and welcome!! I had to quit smoking when I got pregnant with my first. The first week was the hardest, and then once the aversions, enhanced smells and nausea kicked in, I suddenly didnt want to be anywhere near a cigarette. I was actually really happy the smell of smoke made me sick, it made it so much easier to quit. Good luck! I know how hard it is to stop. Before I got pregnant I had tried 2-3 times and never could do it.

Hi all, and welcome to all the newbies

I have actually woken up today and do not still feel tired its the 1st time in weeks It may be that all the boys are at school so I can chill, I know I should be doing the housework or ironing or something but its so lovely to have peace and quiet and just chill, may even go for a bath (be novel to not have anyone else in with me lol) x

I quit 3 times leading up to being pregnant.. Once for 3 years.. I had actually quit in april and started back up a few weeks before I found out I was preg because oh and I decided that our summer was so crazy and busy that it wasn't a good time to get preg . I do really good not smoking when oh isn't home.. I don't keep smokes on me at all .. So when he's at work it's super easy ( which is most of the time. I have had the odd drag though. My ob told me that I could use the nicotine patch to quit if I wanted to.. Just don't use the strongest one. But she did say I have to wean down faster then it says. She said just the nicotine is better then all the crap in the cigarettes ( her exact words lol)
I think the reason I'm having a hard time quitting this time is because I'm having a hard time believing this will stick. We can support each other

got my scan today!!! everything is looking good! going back in 2 weeks hoping for a beautiful heartbeat then

Yay!

Welcome to all the newbies!

I am feeling a bit less tired this morning, but yesterday had the biggest headache ever. Couldn't do anything all night. Has anyone else gotten headaches?

So far my other symptoms are just insane fatigue, a little breast tenderness and sometimes light nausea/burping (weird, I know).

Curliegirlie sounds like your simular to me until today I have been unbelievably tired, the nausea can appear at anytime and Im not burping but the other end is not good lol

 

[skeet9924]

I havent gotten a head ache yet but I know its very common in pregnancy... remember to only take tylenol. I've had just insane fatigue...lol and a stupid eye twitch!!! I think its from being so tired all the time lol. Oh and my breasts are just a little tender not too bad though.

 

[mummy3ds]

Oh I meant to say I got headaches and dizziness to start with, but then realised I wasnt drinking enough......so are you drinking enough? x

 

[Curliegirlie]

I have water on my desk constantly, but since I am peeing so much more lately (another symptom), maybe I don't have enough water. Thanks for the tip!

 

[paula181]

This is the dreaded Frer i was on about earlier. I have calmed down after realising this was my 3rd pee of the morning and I was up in the night having a glass of water and a cup of tea in the morning. I dont know why we do these things
