    Hi all, just wanted to share this video, it's called "admire the perfect creation of god" sorry for the controversial title but it made me quite emotional watching it! It's been doing the rounds on facebook so you might have seen it anyway.

    Good luck to everyone on their journeys xx
  • Thank you for all the good luck ladies!

    Had an emotional morning, with my colleagues and manager asking if i'm excited... only to break down crying! (not the reaction they were hoping for) that's how anxious I am.

    Only had about 4 hours sleep, stupid dreams and worrying all night :(

    Good luck Jen_1985_04 and Sexki11en with your scans today! How exciting!

    Love the scan pic vseviour! I think OH is coming round to the idea of having one when I'm 8 or 9 weeks!

    hmd1987 congrats on the twins! So amazing! Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy x

    Hugs for Lara44 and Fireyfirenze - think this period is the scariest and most stressful.. I'm scared of stuff going wrong too, don't know how I'm managing the feelings but so far I am.. I keep googling symptoms for reassurance and so far everything says it's normal. Maybe just by trying to focus on small points like 7 weeks, 8 weeks etc it will get easier and I'll feel more positive... thinking of you both x x

    AFM I finally decided that we will tell our parents even though it's still quite early (6+3 today). I think it shows I'm thinking positively about it all, and besides my boss knows already so I feel a bit bad. Telling my parents tonight and OH's tomorrow night.

    My mum loves to get the knitting needles out whenever she hears about a friends child having a baby, so I've bought her a magazine 'knitting for baby'. I'm going to give it her tonight and see if she gets the hint!

    It's at 11. I will be leaving the office at 10:45. I currently have a litre of water sat in front of me which I will start drinking in 5 mins... this is going to be hard work :)
  • Hellooo everyone! It feels like I haven't been on here for ages but it's only been 4 days! I've been away with work (only to Liverpool, nowhere exotic unfortunately) and could have done with staying at home really.

    Absolutely exhausted from it now. Got a bit worried whilst I was away because I was tired achey etc but the sickness just totally went....was very weird. Anyhow I am home now and back to throwing up everywhere again, including in my boyfriends car yesterday evening....lol :)

    Welcome all the newcomers :):) And I totally get what everyone says about time seeming to go so slowly...we only found out just under 4 weeks ago and I literally can't remember back to the time 'before' I knew! I was really lucky though and got an early scan (at 7w + 3d as it turned out) because they didn't know how far gone I was.

    Gopppers - think I read somewhere (in my attempts at catching up) that we are date buddies but I can't see you on the main list so sorry if i've got that wrong but if not then yay! :)

    Totally agree with everyone moaning about constipation and wind by the way...my boyfriend doesn't really know what to do at the moment because before I got pregnant he had only heard me 'toot' once or twice and now I am literally at it all night long...sometimes it smells so bad it actually wakes him up....and I stay asleep!!! Teehee! Only seems to be worse at night and the evenings though weirdly.

    I am 8 weeks and 5 days today :)

  • I feel the same! spent most of last night worrying about work and had an awful nights sleep. just feel like crying. gonna discuss it with my manager today hopefully without crying. one of my friends was saying I should be resting and not doing too much in the first 12 weeks yet next week I'm spending all week with a child that's really heavy to pick up and hard work...I don't know if I should just be carrying on as normal or what. so confusing and worrying.

    :( Hugs :( I have been quite emotional the last week or two but I think it's just the hormones really.

    My boyfriend keeps shouting at me if I lift anything heavier than a teaspoon - he read somewhere that you're not supposed to lift heavy stuff throughout your pregnancy but I don't know how true that is - I suppose it makes sense though. I would probably try and avoid this job you have next week if you are able but life has to continue throughout our pregnancies I guess!! Or as someone else said try to avoid picking the child up so much - though that's probably easier said than done!

    Feeling a bit better today - its this blinking taste in my mouth so nasty. Marmite seems to be my only friend to get rid of it for a few hours.

    So exciting scans are coming up in the next few weeks - hopefully a few others will have their dates too.

    I am just starting my 2nd essay for university (I am in my first year of a Foundation Degree) just had my tutorial and I think I am heading the right direction but you just don't know until you write a bit!! My first one I got good comments (not marked, just the tutor taking a look) but I had put my opinion in it a couple of times and that is not right. So I will change that and that is that one done. I might sit and start it this afternoon as its quiet until DS comes home from school on the bus at 4 ish.

    I am finding these days hard too, my previous mmc is never far from my mind and I want to remian positive but I then get all in a pickle with myself. I haven't slept well for a few days but I did last night so hopefully my mind is not racing too much.

    Hope you all have a good day. Blimming raining now which is not a suprise!

    10+4
