Wow CrazyDaisy, I didn't realise they could tell so early! Congratulations!

Went away for weekend, no sickness at all, just nausea. Home yesterday and it started again straight away doctor had prescribed metaclopramide but it isn't helping...

Still waiting for appointments here, and I told our surgery 4 weeks ago.

And we will be finding out the colour I think, both too impatient not too x

Aw Phoenix, hugs for the sickness and nausea, it sucks doesn't it?! I've lost 11lbs and am surviving on cheese and pasta/white bread.

Have you asked at the surgery at what stage the midwife normally sees people? I know it can vary quite a lot between areas. GP had told me they would see me at 8 weeks but after not hearing anything, I phoned up and was told that it's actually at 10 weeks!

Apparent the one plus for working in the nhs was I got my scan pics for free so hot a refund on the vouchers I'd steady paid for for them.

Hope you're ok Aunty pickle, so much to take in, just concentrate on looking after you & baby. Everything else will be felt with but that's the most important thing for you to think about.

I'm shattered today, been awake since 5.30 worrying about this morning! Not long to go, def an early Pj night tonight!

Congratulations crazy daisy too, I didn't know they bound tell so soon! Technology huh!

I apparently have to go to a high BMI clinic in a couple of weeks, great! Fat club for pregnant women I think. Ah well, I guess they're only looking after me & baby really. Had a load of appointment dates made this morning so need to look through those when I'm home, also a massive baby book, I'm hoping it's the instruction book! I also got my 1st bounty pack which has the voucher to collect the next one from boots.

Afternoon ladies! Congrats to all for the scans, lovely to hear all is ok. I hope the consultants can get to the bottom of the growth. I can't image what a shock that must have been, but glad bubs is ok.

Hugs to those that need it, especially those feeling sick. I must admit I am a bit jealous, as it doesn't feel real yet, and apart from a stinky cold that came out of no where I don't feel anything yet, but it's early.

Had a docs appt yesterday as I have a high bmi so wanted to get the high dose of folic acid on prescription. A medical student asked if she could do the consultation first, then the doctor would pop in. It was probably the best appt I have had. She did my weight, height, blood pressure, gave me lots of advice and just listened to all my concerns following the MMC last year. Felt more like therapy!

Pheonix01, I have been told I should hear by 8 weeks for the midwife appt.

That made me laugh, I think I only just escaped that one myself though. I do get extra testing for gestational diabetes at 16 weeks as I had it last time round so it's quite likely. Last time the test was at 28 weeks and I could cope with a restricted diet for 3 months, but from 16 weeks will be a nightmare !

Hello all, I am a very recent graduate from the TTC thread and would really love some advice on a problem I have as I am tying myself in knots trying to work out what to do. I am only 4.5 weeks pregnant so still very, very early days and neither DH or I have any intention of telling our families about the pregnancy until we have had the ok at the 12 week scan.

The problem I have is that I have recently (within the last couple of months) found out that my sil has been having IVF and whilst I am not sure how many attempts she's had I think it's about 3, all of which have failed.

With this in mind I would normally tell her on her own before we tell everyone else to avoid as much upset for her as poss. However (and while this may not appear relevant, please bear with me) my SIL and I are not at all close - we don't hate each other or anything we are just completely different people with nothing in common. The reason I say this is because if we were close I might be inclined to tell her first if we were friends but (and I know this sounds really selfish) I don't want her to be the first person we tell.

I also had a very difficult first pregnancy (this is my 2nd) and we didn't make the estatic pregnancy announcement that I so wanted (we saw everyone individually and didn't make a big thing of it).

So my problem is this - do I tell her first on her own (even though I don't want to - and neither does DH) so that she is prepared for it when we tell other people or do we tell everyone else first (probably without her there) and then tell her afterwards when she would then know that everyone else has already been told?

I really don't know what to do for the best

That is a difficult one Mrs Sippi. I think your doing the right thing by telling her personally on a one to one basis but I don't see why she has to be the first to know. I would of expected you to tell parents first, maybe very close friends and then siblings and partners.

But then I read how you wanted to make a huge announcement about it and that wouldn't be nice being purposely left out when everyone else is there. she probably is going through a hard enough time already without being put on the side line. Is there anyway you could do a big announcement to just parents first? or is this not the big announcement you want?

Yes, sorry, that's what I meant. Ideally I wanted to tell our parents (and their partners) first, then sil, then friends/remaining family. So sil wouldn't' be the last to know but close family would know before her.

They'd said between 8&10weeks, but I'm 9+1 today so thought I'd had at least had appointment dates.

The sickness is awful AuntyPickle sorry to hear you are suffering too
