Are there other people on the thread that are only in the early stages or are most past the 12 week period? :rolleyes:

Congratulations!

It is a mix - I am just over 9 weeks now... I found out just before we were 4 weeks and lurked for a couple of weeks - lol but I was fit to burst so had to tell someone!

This will be our fourth and my body seems to be used to expanding I keep on pulling things out of the wardrobe trying to but them on and then throwing them back in frustration :rotfl: I am living in my jeans at the min as they are the only things that are comfortable

Don't worry about not being able to remember your dates - once you have had your first scan they should be able to work it all out - while you are waiting you can have a play about here http://www.justparents.co.uk/pregnancy/tools/due-date-calculator.html

Better go get the kids sorted!

I've just used the due date calculator and by the date i put in says my due date 20th september, but that was just a rough date of my period as wasnt sure exactly, can't wait til scan.

I'll give the clearblue test a miss i think

OH keeps joking that I could be really far on, as my friend was pregnant but had kept having periods and didnt find out until 3 weeks before due so I am terrfied lol

I'm 9/6 (10 tomorrow). baby number 3 and untill a few days ago, very bloated! Then my boobs suddenly grew 2 and a half sizes and the bloating went down. I have a slight bump that I can see but as I had a... lets say, insulated tummy anyway, others won't notice it :rotfl:

I bought maternity jeans on wednesday I think, mainly due to the bloating, but also my normal jeans were getting uncomfortable when sitting down.

Did you still feel quitw bloated from early stages though?

I did but I put on a lot of weight from medication, which I'd lost after about 10 weeks after stopping taking them, - which was weird losing weight while pregnant, then I sprouted out :eek: here come the maternity jeans

Question for our HR lady. If I had to take a whole day off due to hospital appointments would this be considered time off for antenatal appointments or sick leave?

tarajayne

I'm 99% that it's appointments, did you ask and get told ok?

Glamazon

doubt u wud be entitled to day of as part f antenatal leave, i let my staff have the time needed for app and travelling there and back.

Moneysaver - WELCOME

I'm 6 weeks and 3 days. Am showing a tiny bit and boobs a bit swollen but not much. My morning sickness is worse if I'm hungry or tired. Search the EDD thread for the list and add your self on - u can amend you date later on if you find out it's different. You can also see who is due around the same time and who is further along. I would do it for u but on OH apple mac laptop and it drives me up the wall hence crap spelling etc.

Get some pro-natal vitamins or folic acid - both were on offer in TESCO. I have my first MW appt on 19th Feb when I will be exactly 9 weeks. Can't wait for my first scan. I've started feeling really tired tday as well and a btit lightheaded so am relaxing in bed watching LOST.
