Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! 2

Cara79

Hi Ladies

Can I join??

I got my BFP yesterday - lovely Valentines Day present!! It says I'm 2-3 weeks pregnant, I believe I ov'd on 29 Jan.

I've booked an appointment at the doctors for Thursday. Is there anything I should be doing apart from taking it easy? I'm trying to eat healthier and I'd cut out alchohol already, don't smoke etc etc.

This is my first so it's all new to me and my hubby. I'm sooo excited. Apart from feeling like I have footballs on my chest (they're soooo tender), the fact I need to pee and a bit of tummy cramps.........I'm doing good. I don't care, it'll all be worth it and keeping everything crossed that nothing goes wrong.

My oh has already said i'm not to do any lifting or cleaning (chemicals) hee hee - think i might enjoy the next 9 months!!

Ddebski - I'm having a crisp baby too! Well a potato baby really as all I've been able to eat in a week is crisps, cold oven chips & cold potato waffles :rotfl:

I have today ventured onto lasagne and orange juice.... pray it stays down.... Bought some 'tums' things you can have in pregnancy - but the effects only last about 30 seconds I can't stand Gaviscon - tried some yesterday and bought it straight back up again - it's got the consistency of that thing men are always trying to make you swallow :rotfl:

Apricot

skintcatt I hate gaviscon too but the chewable tablets are fab! Get your GP to prescribe them for you.

Thanks, yeah started taking the folic acid last august/september before we got married.

I still can't believe it and I really can't believe it's real.

My oh really wants to shout it from the rooftops, but I've managed to make him keep quiet. He really wants to tell his mum, but we're both worried that if we tell his mum, his sis will find out as there is NO WAY she will keep it to herself and I suspect his sis will tell our mutual friends in secret too - and it's our news to tell. Going to try and wait until the scan or a bit further on.

Oh never thought to get the Dr to prescribe a counter medicine - though I haven't got my medical exception thing through yet Will go to him if I can't get anything else to work.

Has anyone tried an app called Nevasic (http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/nevasic/id349098250?mt=8) for morning sickness - it's £10 so a little dubious, but willing to try anything!!
