    Birdie when I'd just found out I told my friends that I wasn't drinking in an effort to lose more weight before I saw the fs :o or you could text them in the morning and say you're not sure you're going cos you've got a migraine, and then it's 'i'm feeling a bit better so i'll come but i won't drink'

    oh and i have been feeling out of breath- my appeals on yesterday were down a flight of stairs and a long corridor, by the time i'd gone from the panel to greet the next parents i was out of breath! looked well gasping whilst trying to introduce myself lol
    feel dizzy stood up too long, i think the two are related and i know the dizziness is low blood pressure cos of those glorious hormones.

    Lily yes, whilst i didn't find out until 11 weeks baby stopped growing at 5.5 weeks so increasing symptoms is very reassuring. especially since i know i feel worse than i did on monday
    sorry to hear you're feeling stressed, and your son's new trick, what a nightmare! hope he settles back down soon for you x

    so glad i told the lady at work who's pregnant, she had a miscarriage nearly a year ago so she understands the fears and is very quick to say 'i feel/felt like that' when i mention anything symptomy, which is very reassuring coming from someone with a lovely bump :)
    we was laughing before as before i was pregnant i thought she was weird for having white rice and mashed potatoes for tea and now it sounds glorious to me!

    Just for you Lily, I'll post some POAS !!!!!! tomorrow! :)

    Something very exciting happened to me at lunchtime... my kajungas were bouncing around so much as I was (very breathlessly!) marching into town that they really hurt! As a member of the itty bitty titty committee this is super cool as it means they're growing! :) But ouch... with great kajungas comes great discomfort! :p

    ETA: I'm clearly hormonal too as I keep getting weepy when reading about my baby's progress on my pregancy app! :o

    Birdie, when I went out last week I just bought coke and told people it had malibu or vodka in it. I sipped my drinks really slowly so when people were getting a round in they didn't buy me one. Nobody guessed!

    I told my boss yesterday and she was really good about it. I was so nervous telling her as we are short staffed, one girl is 5 months pregnant and I know someone else is TTC.

    I'm getting a bit nervous that I don't have any symptoms, I'm almost 6 weeks and I want something to prove that I'm pregnant! (Not sickness though!) I've used up my cheap internet tests and the test line is darker than the control line which I suppose is a good sign.

    Hi ladies, see my lovely friend has updated you but nothing on scan and alhough she said it looked like my womb was already empty I started bleeding day after :o

    Hope to be back soon, I had a bad feeling all along something was wrong due to finding out after I had what I thought was a period.

    Having a break now as need my body to work out what it is doing and want at least a month off trying. :o
