    Thanks for the info! :)

    My concern at the moment is my complete lack of ability to completely stop smoking.
    I know i'll be hated/flamed/cursed for admitting it but i've been smoking the occassional cigarette still, to curb the cravings. I think once i've spoken to GP and confirmed the pregnancy it'll hit home more though and kick me into actually quitting altogether.
    When i was pregnant with DS (6) i was still smoking 3 - 4 a day which i'm obviously not proud of but i was homeless and my partner had walked out on me so i felt it helped my stress at the time :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I've done 20 mins on the cross trainer today in my bid to get fit/lose some flab, although i'm not really dieting but am more conscious of eating that 2nd packet of crisps :o:p
    Don't worry too much I know its not good but at least you recognise you want to stop, you'll be given lots of help and support to stop there is lots of help available for preggers to give up :)

    don't be too harsh on ur self over eating, chatting in here certainly won't help coz we eat like piggies :p you are pregnant and you can worry about losing weight/being fit later :D

    I think you have just signed yourself up for 9 months of worrying :D but usually the worrying eases after the first scan and again when all you can feel is bubs hmmering you from the inside :) I can really help with the sickness issues, but when I was feeling queezy at the beginning I found eating helped :/
    Trust me the worrying doesn't ever stop!! My mum says she still worries about us and my (older) sis is 27yo!! :p

    Guess what... I got my HIPG on friday :j only just got round to checking the bank to see if MIL's transfer had gone in the joint and thought why does my (usually empty) account have nearly £200 in it :p Shame we'll be spending it on getting the car serviced :(

    Thanks for advice - no wonder i was confused.

    Hello

    Very nervous; i really shouldn't tell anyone yet but i had a positive test result this morning. Had a look on the internet and should be due mid December. Had healthy food and not smoked today. Bit worried about money as hubby and i were not suppose to be trying for another year as i have only just got a new job (although no start date yet!) after being made redundant.
    I am just trying to work out what i am suppose to do now!

    Welcome mrsapple - that's my name in real life too!
