Hi Girls,

I am in complete shock and never thought I would be posting here. I have followed the TTC and Pregnancy threads for so long. We have been trying for 18 months+ and finally got our BFP this morning.

I tested 3 days early as we have a doctors appointment tomorrow to discuss things and just wanted to make sure. I never believed that I could actually be pregnant.

I am very worried though as I have persistent cramping just like I get every month before my period and I don't "feel" pregnant. Can anyone reassure me

Thanks

teacherandmum

CAFCgirl - I was worried about the cost of stuff too, and we both work so you have my sympathy. Have you had a look on freecycle or freegle as its now sometimes called. Because we were trying so long to concieve and were so determined I actually started buying stuff before I even concieved which was a help. Try asking friends and family and ask them to ask thier friends/relatives too if they have anything they no longer need. We have been given bags of lovely clothes, a bottle warmer, bath and toys non of them directly from our own freinds or family tho as no one has recently had children. Def keep an eye out on ebay too, you could try reading this (if you scroll down you can read the book free). Oh and we saved all our tesco's/sainsburys/boots points and used them to get stuff too.

Kindof - My lil one would only be 18 months by the time no 2 arrived so you would only be 6 months behind if you want company for elliot before he is 2. Oh and nice bump hehe xx

gill - think I was about 23 weeks before I got past my initial tiredness, is it rude if I ask how old you are? Am sorry your finding the whole pg so rough, for my even the not so nice bits are worth it after 6 years, think thats why I want next one to come along so fast.

Right just cooked dinner, gammon and eggs nom, OH inspected my rubber eggs before I was allowed to eat lol, he knows I like 'em runny normally and doesnt trust me to cook them thru while am pg. Followed up with Millionaire shortbread nom nom hehe. Gonna tackle Tesco in a bit (furr ball needs food), hoping it'll be a bit quieter in the evening not to mention the traffic was mental earlier.

CAFCgirl I'm lucky in that my sister had her little boy in June this year, so by the time out lil un appears I'll be able to make use of his hand-me-downs.

Sassy - I dont feel pregnant either, but then again I dont really know what that feels like!! :rolleyes:

Congratulations

Try and relax, I know its easier said than done lol, all I know is I had cramping like I was going to have a period in the beginning as well, in fact still get cramping now.

Welcome and congrats teacherandmum

Hmm Som lol I guess I hadnt figured out when I need to be pregnant by lol, so I think I would rather Elliot was 2.5 so say for baby 2 to be born around Sept 2012 so I need to get PG Dec 11/Jan 12

Congratulations Beenie
Making note to do star jumps in 3 weeks lol

Welcome 1more

OMG newbie_maz its your turn.... Start jumping:j
EA sorry your mum is being so childish, Hugs honey at least you have a [STRIKE]forgetfull[/STRIKE] Lovely other half.

Nikkit glad all wnt well today, and bubs has caught up in size When i was having DS they got all in a flurry that he was small to start but finnished up at 8lbs 13 lol
Metranil vavin congradulations and welcome Fingers crossed for you.

Gill definately go to the docs and ask a for blood test to check your Iron etc, that would answer the tired ness.

Jha your welcome, i was determined you would have something to open before Xmas lol

Kindof lovely bump

EA i always sneak in drinks etc their way to expensive for sweets etc, do love the popcorn though lol

CARCGirl I think most of us had that same panick(I'm still in the process of it lol)We all manage and quite frankly most of the stuff is just nice to have but not essential, Just priorities what you buy, friends etc tend to buy the fun stuff.

Sassysavvysaver that sounds promising allot of women experience stretching pains early on. Fingers vrossed

teacherandmum welcome and congratulations is their something in the water:rotfl:

OK now I'm exhausted,lol

Evening all! Wow, welcome to all the newbies - quite an influx lately!

Beenie, I'm going to miss you on here - it's already quiet without you! hopefully my days are numbered as well...I mean that in the nicest possible way of course (as I will always pop on frequently to check on those behind me )

Well DH had to abandon the car halfway home this evening due to snow :eek:. If anything will test sod's law, this is it! Been feeling really crampy all arvo, but prolly just wishful thinking. We've devised an emergency plan JUST IN CASE anything goes down tonight, so I'm totally torn in 2 about what I want to happen .
