**Wednesday 1st trimester**

Not entirely convinced this will work as OT is still bust, but worth a go!

Had a very unsettled stomach last night after my lunch time fry up (and then a normal sized dinner, oh the shame - eating for 25!).  Other than that feeling OK, obviously the tiredness goes without saying at this point.  Tomorrow is the day, MW appointment and telling the families which is very exciting all round! Also got the letter confirming my scan date which is on 25th September - feels a very long way away especially as the doctor seemed to think it would be at 8-10 weeks - in fact I'll be 11+5 at that point.  Still, it's nice to have a focus.  Not at the hospital which is a bit strange but makes life easier as it's at the Health care/FP clinic at the top of the road.  I do want to know when I'll get to see the hospital though.  Am starting a list of questions for the MW tomorrow.  Oh and today is my last day of work till next Wednesday so hooray for that!

Happy Wednesday to the rest of you, stay away/go away MS vibes if needed.  AO are you revealing yourself any time soon or are you waiting till you've told your family this weekend?

Morning all,

Sorry not posted for a couple of days but have been working all weekend and up to today and once I get home and do chores I am zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

So how is everyone?

SC - I have been getting more hungry too!  My previous ww daily points have gone out of the window and I have been craving naughty food, white crusty tiger bread with ham salad and crisps which is so unlike me.  Good luck for your midwife appointment.  I had mine last Friday and it was for an hour and 45 mins!!!!!  So many forms to fill in and previous history, came away with lots of info although no bounty pack as they had run out!  She did my BMI based on height and weight.  I think I was like a rabbit caught in headlights as she was asking me which hospital I want to have my baby in and did I want all these blood tests etc!  I still don't believe I am pregnant for god sake!!!!

Me - Been feeling ok, nausea on and off at the moment so have been coping with eating boiled sweets!  It goes when I eat!  Tried the fibregel as recommended which helped lots although was vile to swallow!  Just waiting for my scan appointment to come through really want it to be the week of the 22nd of September as am away with the girls that weekend and there is no way I can hide the not drinking as I am usually the first one at the bar!

Hello to all who pop on later

Hi all,

SC - good luck with the MW appointment and telling family, also, how nice to have a scan date already. 

Mrs Sc - I also feel sick if I don't eat so have been forcing myself to eat a little more than usual and it is doing the trick so far - not helping my weight though!

Me - I have been staying away from this thread for a while as I can't believe everyone has been booked in with their midwife so early - I have mine next week when I'll be 10+5, which seems really late compared to everyone else, even though I registered with the gp at 5 weeks.  I don't have a scan booked or anything so I hope they'll be able to sort one out ok.  My sister missed having a nuchal scan on the nhs because there was no space left when they booked her in so I am thinking of looking into private scans just in case.  I am starting to worry about it all, but the midwife just said that this is what happens to everyone.

Hello to everyone who comes on later.

Hi,

Hope it's OK to join this thread although it's still early days for me.

spacecadet -glad you've been feeling OK most of the time! Best of luck at the MW appointment. I have always heard about the 12 week scan, is this another scan or is that one? Sorry if that's confusing! Have you told anyone in your family yet that you're upduffed?

mrssparklycat - i'll know to have boiled sweets when the nausea starts then! Hope you get a scan date before you go away with the girls.

malteser - Sorry that you had to wait so long for the midwife appointment, hopefully everyhting else will be a lot smoother for you from now on.

Me - Well after the BFP for me on monday, it's all still a bit surreal! I have an appointment with my GP friday so I should be 5 +1 then. I'll be happier once I've just done that, at least I'm getting somewhere. We are planning on telling our parents this weekend that we're upduffed, whether that's a good idea or not, I'm not sure but we reckon if anything happened, we would tell our parents anyway so they might as well know now.  Not planning to tell other friends and family for a while longer though, as long as my mum can stay quiet which will take some work!

Symptoms? I just still have this feeling like I have a stitch in my stomach like I've been running! A little bit of nausea in the morning but nothing to worry about and just so tired!

to all who come on or are lurking

Good Morning everyone, sorry havent been on the last couple of days, Hitched has been going really slow and couldnt get on, but today it seems fine.

SC - I bet you cant wait to tell your family, im awful at keeping secrets I dont know how you did it, well done. Great news about the scan date, at least its not as early as the GP thought they should be able to get measurments better and if you decide to have the nuchal scan that shouldnt be a problem either, if im right the earlier the scan the harder it is to do the nuchal scan.  Hope you have a good day today and your tummy is feeling better after yesterday.

Mrs SC - I have also been finding I start to feel sick when im starting to get hungry so I just eat a biscuit and it pass. Glad the fibregel worked for you, and your right, the texture is awful, my SIL found it actually helped her sickness but had the oppisite effect on me, lol.

Malteser - I wouldnt worry about not seeing the mw yet, every place works differently but I think I would do the same as you looking for private scans especially if it happened to your sister.

Daydreamer - I dont think I have been on since Monday so Congratulations. I found it was also very surreal and ended up doing 2 tests just to make sure, lol. We told my parents a week after finding out, im awful at keeping something this exciting from them, I couldnt stop smiling so they knew something was wrong, and as you said if anything happened we would have had their support. Hope the sickness passes.

Me - I have been fine, my symptons seem to be dissappearing, my boobs arent as painful but I went and bought myself a support bra yesterday which is SO comfortable, I love it. Still getting a little sickness but only when I start to feel hungry so I just eat a biscuit and it passes. I have my scan on the 22nd Sept and I cant wait, im hoping I have my dates right. Last night I was sure I felt some movement but I think its far to early, with my daughter I didnt feel anything until I was 18wks. I keep telling myself that it was probably wind bt cant help thinking it was the baby.

Hope MS stays away for everyone today.

Good morning! I managed to get on before the thread died for once.

SC - Lucky you, how comes you have the week off? Hope you have a lovely time telling the family. About the eating I seem to be constantly starving, not good during the month of Ramadan when I supposed to be fasting!

Mrs SC - The tiredness is a killer isn't it, i don't know how I'm supposed to do anything. My house looks like a bomb hit it at the moment but I don't have the energy to tackle it.

Malteser - When I saw the GP last week she told me to see the nurse, the nurse didn't know why the GP had sent me to her. I think she got it wrong and meant the midwife. So I called the surgery yesterday and made an appointment with the midwife myself. I'll be seeing her on Friday. Maybe you should see if you can book an earlier appointment yourself.

DD - Congratulations. It doesn't feel real yet does it. I think it all comes together when you see the scan and you have the evidence of the baby.

Zoe - Where did you get your bras from? I need to buy some asap cos I have double boobage, so not attractive!

As for me, we're meant to be keeping it a secret for now, which means I have to pretend to be fasting. Thankfully I'm not getting any MS yet or the game would be up straight away. I'm just avoiding H's family as much as I can and making out like I'm really starving when I do see them.

Hooray, hitched finally let me on!!!

SC99 - so you went for the fry up? . Scan date sounds about right, had mine at 11+2 before and it was so detailed, much more than I expected. You'll see so much more than at 8-10 weeks. Oooh how exciting people are getting their scan dates booked!

Mrs Sc - it's funny how all these events pop up when you have to hide the fact that you're pregnant isnt it? We had 3 things in 2 weeks and I struggled to keep quiet and hide that I wasnt drinking. Hope the sweets keeps the MS at bay.

malteser - whenever I see your name I want the sweets! If it helps I dont have a booking in appointment for the time being either - still waiting on being dated again on Friday before I can get into the system and last time I didnt have it til the day of my scan at 11+2 (and I got the appointment the week before) so dont worry, it's different everywhere.

Daydreamer - hello and congratulations lovely, good to see another ttcer graduate! We were the same and have told parents as soon as we found out each time. It's a personal decision but like you said, we figured we would want their support whatever the outcome.

Zoe - I've also had little fluttery feelings and like you felt movement at 18 weeks before so think it must just be wind or something. I cant wait to feel the proper ones again, it's lovely.

anjumanji - it's so hard trying to keep it a secret isnt it? Good luck with the fasting! Must be so tough.

Me - feeling same again and trying to get some of the house sorted out in between being sick. Cant wait til Friday just so we can share the news with our brothers. BIL is over tonight and I cant keep pretending whilst feeling so rubbish, it's too hard!
