    Hello everyone

    I am Rachael, and I have just got a BFP YAY :)

    Well I got my BFP while I was on holiday in Cyprus :)

    According to the net calcs I am 5 weeks.

    I am so worried now though, how do I stop myself worrying? I am dying for my scan to arrive so I can know everything is ok, but until then I need to chill but I dont know how?

    :j:j yay - congratulations - sticky bean dust coming your way:D

    I am ok :D - stretching pains are intermittent now so atleast i can get some sleep:j A bit stressed about being rhesus negative - i know its no big deal and i can get some anti d injections - i just didnt do my self any favours by "researching" it on the internet:o

    how is your glucose testing going and did you get any good car boot bargains today:D

    I don't remember the stretching pains being too bad - even now when I'm stretched loads! Hugs to you and hope it stops soon!
    How many weeka ru now?

    I don't know much anout rhesus neg but don't google stuff! I think one of the girls on here have experience of it though.

    Testing going OK just a bit of pain - had to do it at car boot today and bet people thought I was a junkie!

    I got a ton of clothes for £4 today, a brand new pair of gorgeous baby shoes for 20p! I have too many clothes now - just need to get my mattresses and then I think I'm sorted!

    Going to make a list for my hospital bag in the next week or so and then will make sure I've got everything and that my bag is packed by 34 weeks.

    Where does the time go? :think:

    Congratulations Kindo. Try not to worry to much although we all do it. Are you getting any symptoms yet?

    Standing hurts, sitting hurts, lying hurts. Just to show how quickly this has came on, yesterday I managed to carry DS2 and it was just uncomfortable, tonight I picked him up and dropped him back to the floor as it was AGONY! Even just carrying the washing basket upstairs is impossible. Doped up on 8/500mg co-codomol and thinking of ringing the assessment suite to see if it would be ok for me to take some 30/500mg.

    Between that and the damn BH I've had enough. :mad: This little lady is starting to feel like a squatter and it's only week 33. I know I am lucky that she is still here and I want her to stay a bit longer but I also want to be able to sit down for a pee without grimacing.

    I knew you would have got some good bargains today but 20p botees wow:D glad testing is going ok.

    i am 14 1/2 weeks now - i honestly havent had pains like i had the last few weeks before - ever- they take my breath away and are very close together sometimes so they seem constant - they say they are stretching pains but i dont believe it - i am not that big yet - they have eased off a bit now and i am just enjoying looking at the bodyshop sale and some stuff on the lush website.

    I am going to stick a note on the computer "step away from the computer - do not google anything to do with pregnancy" because i keep landing on the frightning pages:eek::rotfl:

    Evening all... had kinda rubbs weekend... didnt do anything really, i was very bored weather rubbish as well, a tan definately perks me up..

    Went for swim today did 41 lengths woop woop.. baby moving loads and loads this weekend, my sister felt it yesterday.

    We have moved out of our room and into other room with wardrobes, so baby has its own room (the bigger). Hubby couldnt believe how much stuff we had about 300 nappies, and loads of baby clothes. Took some bits back to m&s yesterday MIL sent over because we have snow suits already. Need to paint room then will pop up cot and get changing table.

    I'm crapping it about the birth even more now, I dont want any lady garden tearing or forceps/sucker on babys head, can I put any of this in birth plan, is it worth it?

    Also wanted to ask mothers to be who have been through this already what was your best buy, or what did you find most useful to have 1st time round?

    Lolly, it does help but I had to wait on DH coming home last night to help me out. I realised I was stuck and so had a 2 hour bath! Luckily I had my book and combi boiler to top up the water! He is due home soon so may go for one.

    Glam I meant to say, why don't you go through what you have pick out what you really like and ebay the rest in bundles? You will make a few quid to buy some more stuff! I've moved onto 3-6month stuff :D

    DS2 was a vontouse delivery and tbh I was so gaga I can't even remember what it was like. It was better than him sliding back up which is what was happening. He suffered no ill effects and all I got was some labia tearing. Though he was only 5lb5oz.

    Take vaseline to hospital, before you go for a pee slather it over any bits that might sting.

    My best buy was a baby rocking/bouncy chair (well it was free), an avent milk dispencer, dummy holder (clips onto babys clothes and the dummy) and a dimmer swtich for the bedroom light!
