Hi Everyone!

I am nearly 8 weeks pregnant with our first baby. Felt good up until week 7 and then it all changed! I have been incredibly tired, have not cared much for food (although eating usually makes me feel better), and have the same paranoia as we all have about MC, but am hopeful that as each day passes, Junior gets stronger and stronger. My due date is around the 25th March - my husband's 40th birthday, what a birthday present that will be! Am reading the pregnancy books cover to cover and finding this site a great source of comfort. Good luck to you all with your pregnancies - I look forward to enjoying the journey altogether!

November 13th

Wow how time flies!!! Am now 21 weeks and cannot believe how quickly time is going. I am really enjoying having my bump and also, now I can feel baby kicking regularly, and re-assured of his/her progress. We have our 21 week scan on Thursday wehn we will find out the sex of the baby, but I think that we are going to at least try to keep it a secret from friends and family so there is some surprise for everyone in March. I am not very good at secrets though and think I will be so excited when I know that I will be bursting to tell people!!!

Hope you are all doing well and feeling good!

January 9th

Have started some classes this week - yoga and swimming..swimming felt REALLY good, and I am sure if I keep the yoga up it will help me - the teacher made me very aware of my posture and how all of us pregnant woment tend to slouch..it is so true and very hard to stop, but am going to have to practice standing/sitting up straight as backache is starting to be an issue.

Have discovered that the January sales here in the UK are fantastic for getting over-sized bargains...for some reason I had not thought to buy regular clothes but just in bigger sizes, but typically, these sizes are all that are left on the bargain rails at 75% off, so I stocked up on loads of t-shirts and tops in bigger sizes that fit the bump and don't make me look like I am wearing a tent...fab!

Am totally overwhelmed by all the baby kit that you need to buy and do not know where to start...am sure once I have got going it will be fine!

Hope you are all well.. I enjoy this site so much!

5th February

33 weeks pregnant! Feeling tired more easily now after going out or doing things around the house. Had planned to make the most of this time off work before the baby comes, but am spending more time each day resting than I thought I would..oh well, I am carrying an extra 20lbs or so, I guess I am allowed! Started ante-natal classes on Saturday with my husband..it was a good day and the classes definitely get you and your partner more prepared for labour and what to expect. Really desperate to get nursery sorted but a lot of it needs constructing from flat packs which I need my huband for and I am no good at things like that - plus some of it is really heavy! Heartburn continues to plague my life..that is one reason I can't wait for the next 7 weeks to be over! Really interested in a water birth so am going to find out some more about that today.

Thanks for yor reply, I thought it was just me. It's really horrible and happened again last night. Decided to lay off the fizzy water tonight, see if that makes a difference. It feels like it's going to be the longest Easter weekend ever! I'm being induced on Wednesday which is terrifying and exciting! I guess it's not much longer for you too, best of luck!

I think I would have killed my husbans if he expected me to take a bus home at 8 months pregnant. We have also been to the hospial a few times and each time h sat there like here we go again. I truly believe that men dont understand pregnancy and they could care less what is going on until the baby comes out. I know if looks could kill he would be dead lol.

I watched a DVD yesterday with 5 different births on it and I bawled every time I heard the baby cry for the first time. I can only imagine what it's like to hear it for real. I'm tearing up just thinking about it. I just added tissues to my hospital bag list.

Hi, Thanks for your message. Yes the rest of the world is much better with giving birth than the US. Here it is all about big business and making money. Thanks for your post.

thank you for your message, and PLEASE let me know what your doctor says about the hemorrhoids. I bought preparation H today, and I hope it will help. I've only used it once, so we will see. but I'm going to take a warm bath tonight and I'm hoping they will shrink some.. because not only are they painful, but ugly just sitting outside your body like that... ugh!

bridgepooh - Saturday, 23 Feb
hiya, thanks for your response. i just got a chance to log in. on my computer my husband and child was watching dvds all day. i do get to sleep at nights its just that i wake up up to go pee. ad when i dont i can hardly walk to toilet. and when i turn but i can go back to sleep. how is your iron intake that can cause you not to sleep much. i am anemic so am on iron. twice a day. it cause oher probs but i dont get dizzy spells and ts easier to sleep at nights it use to take me two hours to fall asleep.

bridgepooh - Friday, 22 Feb
hey up i have a question i cant remember as its been three years since i had my little girl. and you are in the uk, so am i. are you packing onebag for you and a different one for baby? i tried to put everthing in the same bag

slnkl - Friday, 15 Feb
was there anything you were able to do about those spots on your chest? its so ugly and i totally hate it! i've been using face cleanser to wash it and i've even used astrigent! not working at all for me! is there anything else we can do about our hormones? yeah, i should start packing soon too. only 6 more weeks to go! something is holding me back from packing though. i have a 10 hr. trip to my grandma's funeral and i think i'll be ready to pack when i return home from the trip. i just have a feeling it'll be the right timing then. well good luck to you!

BabyD143 - Thursday, 7 Feb
Thanks, she is just like me, but 10 times worst. I got my hands full with her, she will be 4 on monday, and she is already talking about having boyfriends and getting married. Lol! But yeah, good luck to you!

BabyD143 - Thursday, 7 Feb
Yes, i know how you feel, it happen to me a week ago! & My hubby and four year old laughed at me, luckly I was not out in public!

I wouldnt worry about it, I dont think I have had any yet either and my doctor says everything is perfect. SO i guess its a blessing in disguise, some people are getting them really bad. I feel really healthy, no backache or anything and I have so much energy! x

Jakes..Mummy..xx - Tuesday, 5 Feb
Oh gosh that's awful I would have been heartbroken about that to.Hopefully I should have my house back to normal in the next couple of weeks anyway.I think it's only getting to me so bad because I want everything just so so ready for his arrival and my nesting has gone into complete overdrive the past week! It's nice to find someone else from the uk on here there seems to only be a few of us.take care.x

You might have had some BH contractions but just not noticed them that much yet. I have been getting them a lot lately in the past week or so, but I had to have a friend point out what they are like until I realized what exactly was going on with my belly! (That was around Christmas.) And for me, they don't hurt like a lot of the girls on here are saying. It's more of a tightness, but I can handle a lot of pain I guess because I have suffered with chronic back pain since I was 17...I'm now 31. For me, it feels like my belly gets really tight like she is trying to push her way out of my belly button or something. When I try to hold my pee for too long (if I can't go right away), then I get a BH before and after I go, and it feels really tight. Like there is a solid little rock in there or something. But so far, that is all I have experienced. It doesn't seem to hurt, but it's not the most comfortable thing in the world either, haha! But I wouldn't worry too much, I don't think everyone has them all the time. I'd mention it to your doc to see what they say about it.

Didn't offend me one bit. The only ones who do are the ones who think that circumcision is a mutilation of the baby. THAT pisses me off.

I wish you all the best and send many blessings your way.

hi, I'm also from the UK & it's really interesting to see peoples comments on this!...there was loads of discussion about it a couple of months ago & one of the American women said that it it was beginning NOT to be the norm in America. Every country is different & we are all basically 'conditioned' into doing things or behaving in the way that it's been done for years. If this helps your argument (when you have it!) in my opinion, all our bodies are built the same way so why is it we don't seem to have 'problems' but other countries do? maybe we are cleaner!! ha ha!...I know 1 11 year old & 1 30 year old who have been circumcised due to health reasons but I'd say it was unnecessary purely for cosmetic reasons seems a bit pointless & what's acheived, nothing! & to coin a phrase 'if it ain't broke then why fix it'?!...obviously I am biased & go with the UK way of doing things (I am also conditioned!), each to their own & all that & I have no problem with how other countries go about things. I understand from an American lady that they are told that it's 'unclean' to keep the foreskin...so how come a large percentage of the blokes in this country managed to survive heathily without having the proceedure...it makes you wonder... I hope that gives you a bit of ammo! worst case scenario, pick a yes or a no out of a hat!!!

The problem is I really don't have anybody that REALLY cares for me, but my sister, but she's 1000 miles away... I really don't have any hobbies... my life is my husband and my son. Sorry... I need to get out of this pity me mentality.
