Congrats!!
I'll start the list then :) . I'm due December 1. Hoping for lots of due date buddies ;) .
Due date is the 3rd December but it will be Summer here. :)
Congratulations! How are you feeling? Any symptoms yet?
Just adding my congratulations to you ladies, hopefully by the end of this week there'll be a few more ladies in here with you!!
I got a BFP today and will be due Dec 6th!! No major symptoms, but tired with tingly boobs and spotty face!!
Freya.I have on & off sore boobs.Really really tired.Indigestion.I have a funny taste in the back of my throat too.Trying to get things done in case I get morning sickness soon.
Nicnee, congratulations on your BFP! Looking forward to supporting each other through our pregnancies.:)
Congratulations, nicnee, nice to see you here :) !
I'm pretty fine so far, barely no nausea so far as I keep certain things out of my diet. But my boobs are twice the size and my belly's so bloated I look several months pregnant. It's a bit ridiculous!
I know, the dreaded sickness. Hopefully you won't get it for a while yet, fivecrazymonkeys!
Have you told anyone yet or are you keeping it quiet?
Can I join you ladies? I am due December 4th.
Congratulations, lelephant, and welcome :wave: !
We are keeping the news quiet at the minute. This is our 4th baby, we only told a few close friends we planned on TTC. I'm not sure whether reactions will be positive or negative and I am dreading telling work!!
I feel OK at the moment, but in the morning my blood sugar feels really low and I get shaky and dizzy and hot flushes. No major nausea yet, but the spotty face persists!!
I've got something really weird going with my hands - they get really hot at times! I wonder if it's due to increased circulation or something? I get shaky too, nicnee, and the only thing that works for me is eating loads. It's a shame, I just dieted off all the weight surplus from my last pregnancy. Not that I'm going on a diet, it just feels ironic :rofl: .
I'm wondering for how long it's possible to hold the news off when it's not a first child, because my belly just bloats up in the afternoons. I gave up my sit-ups because I was feeling so dizzy, but I've started again now. Not sure if it's going to work...;) I really hope I don't have to tell anyone for a while. My MIL is coming for a visit in two weeks so I hope I won't be puking by then.
lelephant,congrats on your BFP!:celebrate:
I am not telling family or friends till after 13weeks.We lost our last at 12weeks.
I make a cup of tea & toast in the morning & eat it in bed & take my pregnancy multi.Not sure if that is helping but I hope it is.:happy:
Well I wondered if any of you ladies are experiencing this. Up until I got my BFP last week I was so fed up of the girl diet. Now I can eat what I like, but you know what??? I only want the stuff I was having before, mainly dairy. The worst things I had to give up were crisps (chips to you US ladies) and marmite (yeast extract). Now I really don't want either and if I have anything salty it leaves a weird taste in my mouth. So it seems I have inadvertently weaned myself off salt. Not a bad thing really. Can't even stomach bread!!
Other than that I still feel quite well. Early days I know (5-6 weeks) but I feel a bit shaky and weak first thing, get hot flushes when I get out of the shower and get stretching pains on my left lower abdomen when I walk. No nausea as yet and I had it with all 3 boys. Maybe next week!!
I've got the same thing, but opposite: crazy red meat cravings! I suppose I have a hard time giving up salt :) .
I just realised I've had m/s for about a week. TMI! It just comes out the wrong end :suprise: . Soo weird...
I can still eat Vegemite lol.
I too have no ms yet..trying to not worry as I am not 6 weeks yet.I get a few pains here & there too.I want to cry a lot...thinking it is more anxiety worrying about if this baby will grow.
Lets hope we all dont get too ill in the coming weeks.:happy:
:agree:Quote:

OK so far I am not getting many physical symptoms, but boy am I moody!!! In fact so far I feel so normal I keep convincing myself there is no baby there or I am going to M/C. Also a bit dizzy if I move too quickly!!
Hope all you other ladies are OK. I reckon the old M/S will hit next week for me!!
Hello, Lola, how lovely to see you here :welcome: !
I'll probably start puking soon, nicnee, I could barely eat my dinner yesterday because it was reeking of garlic, and my nausea is getting worse every day. I also have trouble finishing every meal, and instead I snack between meals.
Any good tips for snacks, except fruit? I'm trying to quit the biscuits :think: .
Freya, I am slowly getting to be that way with eating, too....and the last couple of days, I have had some nausea from noon till 2pm or so. Nicenee, I wouldn't worry....everyone is different with each pg also....as long as you aren't bleeding and cramping, your bean is good to go!
That's so weird, Lola, I got noon nausea too today. It's like it comes in waves of a few hours at a time. Very strange.
Hi Ladies,
I'm due December 9th!!
Welcome Persistence :welcome: ! Congratulations :celebrate: !
Hi Persistance, congrats! I see you're an HT mama, that's awesome! FX for your pink beans!
It IS weird....and I can not eat for an hour or two when I first wake up even, and feel fine....but then my noon witching hour strikes and I want to just lay down and be still like a statue.Quote:

Those are all good signs, nicnee! Is your spotting brown or red? Have you gone to the dr about it yet?
I think she means spots on her face :) . Don't wish for the nausea, nicnee, you've got the tiredness, and that's the better option, I think ;) .
You're lucky you can lie down, Lola. I'm working from home at the moment, but I dread having to go in as I spend some hours a day (around lunch) with compulsive heavy breathing and nausea that my acupressure bands do nothing for. Does anyone else have heavy breathing? I just walk around like a great sigh factory.
Oh DURRRR.....my Americana coming out there! I think spots is a much nicer word than zits or pimples! I am getting those, too, lots on my jawline, it sucks!!!! Well, glad that is the case and not blood spots!
Freya, I wish I could lie down....I actually can't, must sit at desk and look attentive. Once I have a scan (on the 20th) and I see that this baby is indeed alive and well, then I'll tell work folks and the laying down may be acceptable! I have that heaving thing also, I always feel like I can never catch my breath. And since this is my 3rd (and I'm 35), I have a feeling that its mostly due to my belly already feeling like a bloated balloon and my general sluggishness. I gained some weight on the boy diet and am just generally feeling like a big whale right now.
Oh no, Lola, poor you :sad: . Good for you with the early scan, though, I won't get one until week 16-18. Free healthcare can suck sometimes...;) .I'm glad I'm not alone with the heaving, it must be pretty normal even though I don't remember it from the last pregnancy. Hope it goes soon, I'm sure you'll feel better when it does!Quote:

My last was born in 2005 also, so it's been a while, but I do remember hating it until about 14 weeks. Hope our heaving selves get some relief sooner than that, though.Quote:

I'm not wishing for nausea, just expecting it to be around the corner. I do hope it isn't and tbh the nausea has got progressively less with each pregnancy I have had. Maybe I will escape this time. I can only hope.
I was always 16 weeks before I felt human again with the other 3 pregnancies.
Walked for miles this morning with the boys (who are off school for Easter holidays) and this afternoon I could have slept for hours, but only managed a 5 minute cat nap before DS3 wanted something!! Pregnant with 3 boys under 7 years old is gonna be tough!!
Hope you escape it for a bit longer, nicnee! Sounds tough with the boys, GL with managing the holidays!
Nicnee, I hope you and I both escape the MS this time....I am like you, it was less with DD2 and now it is *almost* nonexistent, although I have a small bout of icks in the afternoon. My face is totally broken out, too, I HATE it. I am going to start using the word spots, I like that much better. I hope you can get some more rest, I know how that is having to run around with little ones when you feel like a zombie!
Nicnee, are you going to find out the gender of the baby? I SO hope this is your girl!!!!
Lola I am really unsure about whether to find out the gender of this one. I didn't find out with any of the others, but with DS3 I saw something on the scan that made me 90% sure he was a boy. I spent the rest of the pregnancy very emotional about that and I wasn't interested in him at all whilst I was carrying him. I didn't bond with him whilst I was pregnant like I did the others. It wasn't until my best friend lost her baby (girl) at 7 months gone, (I was about 6 months gone at the time) that I realised I had to accept him and be thankful he was OK.
So now I'm not sure what to do. If I find out, and it is a boy I don't want to spend the rest of my pregnancy feeling disappointed. If I find out and it is a girl I would rather have that as a surprise after birth. But if I don't find out I may drive myself crazy for 40 weeks!!
I have to say I did feel whilst we were TTC, that if I couldn't conceive a girl I didn't want to be pregnant. But now I am pregnant I feel OK with the idea of having a boy. At least I know we tried everything to sway and it wasn't meant to be if I get my 4th son. Besides, my 3 boys are great, so another one would be just fine.
I TOTALLY feel the same way....I am scared to have GD, but also know I'd like to know and will go nuts for 40 wks. My Dh wants to find out, and so do my kids, so I am probably going to. But, sometimes I think it would be nice to just hope and dream for 40 weeks and at least enjoy my last pregnancy and then be surprised. And I'm with you, I gave it my best shot so whatever it is, it is. Big time FX for you, girl!!!!Quote:

It's funny that you mentioned that Freya, because my sister, who I am very close to, just called me last night and said they ttc on Monday for their first. I was super excited, thinking OMG she will be pg with her first and me my last together (even though we live 1,000 miles apart). I asked her if she did opks or temped or anything, and she says she just had "a ton of that stringy ewcm hanging down" so I am sure she dtd at the perfect time....but THEN my crazy pregnant brain starts thinking, Oh great....what if she gets a son and I get another girl? I can't even think about how I'll deal with that kind of jealousy, especially with my sister, who is my best friend. I'm sorry you had to deal with that, Freya!Quote:
