The First Timer Scardicats!!!!!

[Banana2012]

Trying, so much coming your way lovely lady

Luvbug, eek, scan tomorrow! So excited for you!

Sooz, keep going lovely, that 12 week mark is so close

Cake, any sign of AF?

Jo4nn4, outfit sounds adorable! Such a lovely time of year to be due

Snuffles, glad to hear things went well at your appointment (I am reading journals, just can't manage to post in them often enough so will stick here instead!). Also glad to hear OH is looking after you. Take care and rest up sweetie

AFM, survived a weekend of having friends to stay - exhausted now but was nice to see them. Managed a bit more food, but I was the same last weekend and then struggled in the week, so will just have to wait and see. I think being better rested at the weekend helps, and having more time to relax and do things at my own pace. Early scan next weekend - eek! Excited but nervous.

Hello all,

Been lurking for a couple of days while I have been on cloud 9 :-D. Finally told my family and friends and had a massive response of well wishes and congratulations :-D. So good to get our good news out there, and to not have to pretend :-D. I have another antenatal appointment with the midwife in a couple of weeks and then soon it will be 20 week scan :-D. Not got much of a bump ATM. Feel really well too (just the tiredness kicking in now and again). My ticker is actually wrong now (just by one day!). I am actually 13 + 1. We now have a peach on board!

Right, I am going to forget some people so apologies in advance!

Banana...When is your early scan? So excited for you! How far will you be along when you have it?

Trying...Sending lots and lots and lots of Baby Dust!!!

Luvbug...Is it scan day for you tomorrow?? How exciting!

Cake...Hopefully this is your month chick!! Xxx

Jo4nn4...Outfit sounds very cute! I am so tempted to buy things for baby but want to know if we are team pink or blue first!

CC...Hope you are alright xxxxx

Sooz...When is your next scan??

Kismet...Hope you have enjoyed thanks giving!!!

Snuffles...Massive hugs chick. Hope you are being well looked after xxxx

Mojo...Hope you are ok.


Xxx

Me at 11+1!

Trying - have LOADS of fun - we'll all be praying for you to catch that egg! Legs up after!

Kismet - how was thanksgiving? I wish we had something like that here. Sounds like awesome fun!

Banana - my nausea is settling - it's better than it was. I really recommend peppermint. I also found that sucking mints and brushing my teeth helped. Stick in there toots. Bet you're excited about your scan.

Annaki I'm so jealous!! You must be so so excited!! You should sing it from your rooftops!

Snuffles - I keep thinking if you. You've been in my thoughts a lot. Hope you're getting loads if support from those around you.

Luvbug - get those scan pics up ASAP!

I just have to shrug-off the spotting as "normal" for my pregnancy. It never lasts but it's really spooky at the time. It's stops as soon as it starts. My booking scan is a week on Wednesday and it couldn't come sooner I'm telling you. I'm so close to my 12 week marker. I can't hide the fact that I'm actually a bit nervous about it. I have to be positive that everything was fine a few weeks ago.

Love to all xxx

Good afternoon ladies!!!

Sooz - your bump is so cute! Sorry to hear about the spotting but im glad everything is ok!! What a worrying time for you but thankfully you will soon be in 2nd tri!!

Snuffles - im so sorry for your loss hun big I hope your OH is taking good care of you!

Trying - LOADS of I am praying this is your month!!!

Annaki - how nice to be able to tell all your family! Such a special time!! Glad your feeling well – long may it last!!

Banana - so sorry to hear you have been feeling so rough – I hope your feeling better very soon!!

Jo4nn4 – the elf outfit sounds soooo cute!!! I really hope your wee bubba arrives in time to wear it but I would do the same as you and make it a jan elf if he/she arrives late lol

CC – how are you hun? Hope your doing ok?

Cake – hope this is your month!! Fingers XD!!

Sorry if I have missed anyone. I really didnt mean to! xx

AFM: well im back from my much needed holiday and with a little tan. As you know I have had a NTNP month and while we were away we hit the 2 year mark for TTC. I came back with positive thoughts and really hoping this coming month would be our month! However, when I arrived back on Friday I noticed AF was due but I didn’t have any of the usual symptoms. To my complete disbelief I took a test this morning and it was !! The first month in 2 years that I didn’t track ovulation, use preseed, drank whilst on holiday and completely just “forgot” about ttc. Im still in shock I think. Thanks so much for all your encouraging words over the last few months – this thread really has brought me luck xxxxxxx

 

[CakeCottage]

Hope everyone is ok..?

Still waiting for AF, temps were still high this morning but bfn!

Congrats mojo!

Sooz and Banana, hope you both feel better soon!

Snuffles, thinking of you!

Annaki, it must feel amazing to tell people your good news

Joanna, the elf outfit sounds so cute!! Baby Xmas outfits are adorable !

Xx

 

[NurseSooz]

Congraaaaaaats Mojo!! You must be shocked/excited/surprised/ecstatic!!! You deserve it do much love!! Yeeeey for your poppyseed!! you give lots if ladies so much hope!

 

[Jaynie82]

Congrats Mojo!!

Cake - FX for you, 10/11dpo is still quite early. Good luck!

Trying - Ahhh it's so exciting! I so hope you get your anniversary bfp!

Banana - I'm glad you had a lovely time with your friends. I know what you mean about visitors though, socialising is tiring! Particularly when you're trying to keep such a big secret I bet

Kismet - Have a wonderful Thanksgiving meal! So jealous!

Annaki - Aw that's so lovely. Had anyone guessed do you think? I'm so happy you've had such a lovely weekend!

Sooz - fab bump pic! I love your dress btw. I think you're coping so well with the spotting. I can't wait for you to have had your scan and get some reassurance. Will you be announcing after that? I seem to remember your mum already knows, is that right? I see from your ticker your wedding anniversary is coming up soon, anything exciting planned?

Mojo - Ahhhhhh HUGE congratulations! You must be over the moon! How funny when it's the first month you've NTNP. I'm so happy for you, you've waited long enough!

AFM - I will definitely share baby elf pics when the time comes! In fact you probably won't be able to move for them We also have a hat that looks like a Christmas pudding. Poor kid! I've also posted my latest bump pic/progression on my journal if anyone fancies a nose (link in sig). I'm ginormous! I can't believe it's Monday already tomorrow - this weekend has gone far too quickly

 

[Banana2012]

Sooz and Jo4nn4, bumps are looking fab

Mojo, eeeeeek! Soooo happy for you lovely! You deserve this so much, and so pleased the Scaredicats could bring you some luck

Annaki, sounds like you've had such a lovely few days Must be so exciting! My scan is on Saturday, I'll be 8 weeks and 5 days - eeek! Can't wait to see our little one! Then my NHS one is booked for 12 weeks and 4 days, so won't be long to wait!

Cake, my fingers are still tightly crossed!

Kismet, Happy Thanksgiving!

More vomming tonight,looks like my body is rebelling against this weekend - boo! Holding out for 10 or 11 weeks, as a lot of people seem to say it gets a bit better then - so 2 or 3 weeks to go hopefully!

 

[Snuffles]

I'm glad to see that everyone is doing so well

Mojo: Congratulations sweetie!

AFM: Even though this miscarriage hasn't finished yet, I want to be pregnant again now. I feel guilty for thinking this because I know I should take more time to grieve my loss, but I just want to be pregnant again and hope the next baby will be my rainbow. God I feel so terrible for saying this and I know we should wait, but I just can't help it

Temps have taken a major nosedive by .5 and below my coverline so I guess the is on her way! X

 

[Trying2012]

Mojo congratulations!!!!!!!

Sooz - lovely little bumpy appearing there

Cake - sorry to hear that

 

[annaki]

Mojo! Yesssss!!! Well done chick. So pleased for you!!! Xxx

 

[CakeCottage]

Yep I was right, AF just arrived!! Boo hoo!!

I think this cycle I'm going to take the pressure off and not temp and just BD every other day when I know it's roughly O time!! I think I'm stressing myself out with questioning when my O date is etc? X

 

[Mrs.Luvbug]

Banana- boo on being sick. I hope you're feeling better! But sounds like you had a wonderful weekend! I feel so tired after going to MIL's and we don't do much there, But since we've been keeping it a secret I don't want to just nap and nap all day haha.

Mojo- CONGRATULATIONS that is sooooooo exciting!!!!!

Cake- boooo on AF showing!!!! BUT I have to say, we didn't temp or do any OPKs or anything. We decided to BD every other day for about a week and a half to two weeks. We started a week before I thought O was coming, and then continued a few days after O. And I enjoyed that way more than the every day BDing haha.

Sooz- OMG your tiny little bump is so cute!!!!! I can't wait for your scan!

Annaki- How exciting for telling your family! I'm sure it feels like a huge weight has been lifted off your shoulders! That'll be this weekend for us!

Jo- I didn't know you had a journal! I shall go check it out!

Hope all you ladies celebrating Thanksgiving had a wonderful time!

I hope I didn't forget anyone! If I did I'm sorry.

AFM- I have my appointment today. I'm a little bummed that I don't get to see baby. But I'll get to hear the heartbeat. Which that's better than nothing. Then this weekend we will be telling our families. And sometime this week I will be telling work- just gotta make sure my boss is in a good mood when I do haha.

I'm good, thanks for asking Kismet. I have to go up to the hospital again to have more blood drawn and talk to the doctor, so I'll update you ladies on that when I get back. I'll be leaving in about 20 minutes.

 

[Banana2012]

Snuffles, and good luck for your appointment.

Cake, boo to that horrid witch. A stress free cycle sounds like just what the doctor ordered though

Luvbug, hope your appointment goes/has gone well!

Kismet, I say go back to bed and don't feel guilty! You've had a busy weekend!

I had to tell my head (boss) about being preggers today, partly because I felt so awful and partly because I was being asked to go to twilight training sessions this week after school which I knew would have completely finished me off. Her reaction was...pretty awful. Obviously she didn't say anything negative, she was just totally unenthusiastic and seemed really pissed off. I've only worked there a few months, so I know it's not ideal, but equally I don't think I should be made to feel so guilty for something which should be such a happy time. I had a good cry in the toilets at work, and am feeling really down in the dumps about the whole thing
