Leso- Hope the move will be super smooth hun!

Ciz- Oh yeah my doctor got all worried cause she thought my baby measured a week behind and diagnosed me with threatened abortion. For medical people some pretty big things they completely miss!

AFM: I can't stay awake! I'm not the type that takes naps but now I fall asleep at like 2 pm and wake up with drool on the corner of my mouth! I'll sleep now that I can though, once I'm in the third trimester sleeping will be something of the past.
 
Anyone out there worried about showing before you're ready to tell people? I wore a tunic yesterday with a pair of tights, and when I sat down I kept staring at my emerging bump. I still have about 3 weeks until I want to tell people at work (because I want to avoid the awkward conversations that I had after my previous 2 losses). Any tips to hide the bump?

So exciting most of you ladies are pretty far along!!!!! I have a scan and my first appointment on Feb 18! So excited! I think we'll announce to family after that. :)

Oh man leson. Good luck selling your condo. I think I'd be exhausted trying to move!

Are most of you gals on #1 or #2? This will be my third. My older two are 16 months apart. I think my youngest and this baby will be about 20 months apart.

I am on baby #4! Lol My kids are 7.5, 5.5 and almost 4. I had all 3 within. 3.5 yrs. It going to be different having kids that are a bit older and then a newborn.
 
Xan- Now that it's winter just wear bigger and looser clothes! Layers will hide it too. And really no one should ask you cause it's just rude. What if someone just put on some extra holiday weight!? ;)

This is baby #2! It's going to be a 4 years gap unfortunately but took us longer than we expected to conceive this time. By the time the baby is born my son will be at school though so YAY!
 
Can I be added to the list please ladies? Due September 30th :)

Yeah I'm quite glad I have a good idea whats going on instead of having the utter crap of worry thrown at me for being 2 weeks behind. And so with you on the nap thing its hard going with a 2 yr old toddler. Lost count how many times ice age has been put on TV so I can chill.

Do any other UK ladies have their 12 week scan date through? I got my letter from the hospital off the back of my booking in appointment, it's 23rd February. Hope it comes around quick, it feels ages away! X

Mine is on the 17th Feb. Should have been 15th but Mr Moo couldn't make that day, so I have to wait longer! Got my booking in on the 11th, they sent appointments for both at the same time.
 
For clothes, I only wear my jean when I go out, at home, I'm in my comfort hareem trousers or PJs.
My uniform at work is getting tight, I have my maternity tunics from last pregnancy but it's not the same as the regular one so lots of questions would be asked (amazingly, the news didn't get leaked everywhere via that email that went around the college, so luckily only people who either doesn't know me, or doesn't give a toss, received the email. Phew!)
 
When are you ladies planning on telling work? I'm a senior director and supposed to be helping the company through this massive change and getting a promotion in 6 months so I'm really nervous about what's going to happen. I feel like this is all new again even though I've been pregnant before
 
Just bought our first thing for baby :) we went shopping for me and saw a pair of super cute DC sneakers that are unisex so haddd to get them ;)
 
Xanzaba - I have worried about showing earlier because this is my second. But I really don't think people would guess I'm pregnant again already. I was obviously pregnant at 8 weeks last time. I was so bloated. My Aunty guessed. I was really embarrassed about it!

Avalanche - I have only just gone back to work after maternity leave. I am working for a temp agency so that I can work around my husband's roster, and only working 1 day per week. It is so hard feeling nauseous! So, I'm not sure when to tell the agency that I'm pregnant. I have no idea if there are rules about it or what?! I'll wait til 12 weeks and make a decision.

TTC - I'm on number 2, which will be our last baby. So I'm trying to enjoy it & not stress too much about anything going wrong. I have an almost 5 month old little girl.
 
TTC, this is our 2nd and last baby.

As for work, I told my bosses at 6 weeks, as my job has its physically demanding days and they like to risk assess everything. Not that I've been risk assessed yet and I'm fast approaching 10weeks.

Welcome to the new mommas-to-be!

Gina, baby shopping is the BEST, I'd spend AGES in the baby section in stores, just looking, feeling everything and getting VERY emotional!
 
Aw yes I love baby clothes shopping. Did a bit yesterday. I'm sure people can hear me cooing at everything!

So jealous some of you have your 12 week scan date. I don't think mine gets sent to me until I've had my booking in appt, which isn't until 25th Feb - aaagggggeeees away. I hope it doesn't take too long after that (I'll be 10w+1) we are hoping to go on holiday around 19th March, so not sure what to do. Is it likely to be before then? It's either that week or wait till July when DH can take time off. But I'll prob be massive then so don't want to do that.
 
They have a certain time frame for the first scan, I think because of doing the NT testing etc. My scan is on the cut off day, the administrator said, and I'll be exactly 13weeks that day. I should think you can expect your scan to definitely be before your holiday.

I'm 7 weeks today, and my booking in appointment is the 19th of March!

Hopefully you can still go on your holiday.
 
I've got my booking appointment on Friday! Although they will date me almost 10 weeks as my cycles are always longer & know when I ovulated will only be 8+1 then have to wait for a letter regarding a scan. I have booked a private one for 9th Feb.
 
Welcome and congrats to newcomers!

Yay for appointments! I opened my app today and saw the little reminder for mine at the end of the week. It's so close!!! Such a mix of nerves and excitement. If all goes well, it will be such a relief to tell my family. I hate keeping secrets!

Nausea under control so long as I eat first thing and I actually made it to 9 pm last night without yawning, but my nipples hurt so bad yesterday. It was such a relief when we could return home after the showings, and I could take off my bra! This first tri is just a rollercoaster of symptoms for me. That whole they can come and go thing is ringing so true.
 
Hi avalanche. I am in a similar position to you. I'm a senior executive and I know it is going to be an issue. However I did have a miscarriage in October so had to fess up so I guess they will be sort of expecting it...my main worry is my MS is getting so bad I know I will be taking sick leave very soon so guess I will tell them then. I just worry if I have another mc then they will all know again and figure it will be tricky for them to be sympathetic a second time....sigh.
