Before we found out i was pregnant.... i went round my nans one night and she said to me jackie phoned (my aunt) and asked if i was pregnant. my nan said no, what made you think that and my auntie said she had a dream about me that i was pregnant. when my nan told me i laughed it off, but unbeknown to all of us i was actually pregnant at that time! so now my aunt thinks she has some fabulous talent and goes around trying to predict the future and the sex of my baby too.... lol aint families just great.

so here's a lil about me....My name is Fay, im 19 and from Essex in Uk. i found out just over a month ago i was pregnant and we were over the moon. he wants a boy he is a huge spurs fan so wants to dress him in the kit etc. all the things a dotty daddy does! aslong as it healthy though we'll be happy! ill keep you posted of events, but im only 8 weeks gone so not much to tell just yet.

I hope all you mummies are doing well. xx

Hello all. well had a terrible day yesterday. was in bed with morning/night sickness which was the worst iv had. although iv had nausea alot during the beginning, i got that all day, but iv only been sick twice, so yesterday hit me hard. i was convinced i was ill with a bug, yet i woke up this morning feeling great so maybe not.

Well i have my checkup scan tomorro (20th) and am so excited to hear my babies heartbeat but totally scared at it all! il keep you all posted on whats found! wish us luck !!

Ello all, well good news i has my scan yesterday and verything is great we heard the heartbeat so are out of the danger zone. but they've put my due date back as im only measuring under 8 weeks and by my lmp in currently 9 weeks tomorro, strange eh! so im now due end oct beginning Nov. they say i may have a growth spert to put me back on track with my original date, but they can be more accurate with my 12 weeks scan its just kinda too early to tell!

also i had my first antenatal appointment yesterday, omg they give you so much stuff to read OVERLOAD but hey i got 7 months left to work through it all! i had my bloods and peepee done too som thats one less thing i gotta have tested. is anyone oppting for the triple test?? we were offered it and said yes, but we hadn't really thought how'd we'd feel about the pregnancy if they came back high risk. but i think we'll go ahead anyways! but next scan is 17th april (12weeks) roughly anyways now but i cant wait, seems forever away now! i just wanna see the changes m,y baby has gone through in that time! and there is so much!

Well ill keep you all posted.... and do they same i love reading your stories and experiences!

I went to get measured yesterday as my bras were feeling tight and i was gobsmacked that i had gone up a cup size. im only 8 weeks pregnant, how many cup sizes will il have gone up by 9 months?? anyone else have this problem already! iv always been quite big chested but iv gone to at 32G! i officially have bigger boobs than Jordon... this is cos im still small round tghe back but big in the cup i have to order bras in! and everywhere iv tried dont hold many higher in stock at all let alone in 32 back. normally 40G yeah can find loads of ugly bras like that, but its not what i need. i think ill start a wager on how big ill be by the end! i could make a mint i reckon!

Has any one else been so completly high maintenance. im have been the worst with emotion, especially this last week. like last night, something went wrong with my bro at home and it all got bit heated. so my boyf decided to leave and i dont blame him, and i was going to his once i was ready. but for no reason i started crying and told him i was staying home. and we ended up getting into a huge arguement all cos i was being stroppy. but by that time i felt like shit major headache and didn't feel like driving by then for sure. but bless his heart he was half hour away from mine and half way home and he came back gave me kisses and cuddles told me he loved me and was sorry, i broke down in tears again and he ended up stay with me just pampering me while i slept. so he had to get up early to get back to where he lives in time for work cos i wanted to stay home! he is the bestest most appreciative guy who truly cares and loves me. i hope all you mommies have supportive partners like i do, but what i state i get myself in these days! proper psychotic i know! least we can blame the hormones!!

OMG im 8 weeks and i woke up this morning and have had the biggest outbreak of spots! so not impressed. i get spots occassionally, but lil ones. so i was like woo there! roll on the pregnancy glow!!!

Ok guys its been a stressful week. my body is changing so much and i definatly feel pregnant. i think now im over the initial shock im liking the idea of all these changes. as i said im only 8 weeks so although i got a belly already these signs are more so that people can now guess im preggers instead of thinking im just fat, haha! i cant wait for the obvious changed to come though, i want a baby bump to show off! hope your all well!

so hi there again haven't updated for few days. well feeling good this last week, emotionally that is!! my skin starting to clear up now so hoping it stays that way. i aint been as moody either! i jump into 10 weeks tomorro (28/3) so im just thinking 2 more weeks before all horrible bits goes!

physically had a rough couple of days. normally if i let myself get hungry id feel ill and sometimes was, but just fliuds etc. but last two days i haven't been able to keep anything down, so i bring it up hence making me hungry again, making me ill still! i couldn't win! i was concerned that if i wasn't eating baby would not benefit but spoke to midwife who said baby will be fine, ill just feel like crap while it steals all my nutrients, but aslong as baby good its worth it. she said i gotta make sure i dont get dehydrated if so then the baby will be affected, but this morning been ok. breakfast is all still inside!

sorry to be so graphic but i figure we all going through it so why pansy about it! like i said 2 weeks and hopefully all start to subside! bring it on!!

ok since my last post on my page, just under 2 weeks ago my sickness had started to sibside. im think GREAT maybe ill be a lucky one that just had a lil for a lil while and will now swim through to rest of pregnancy.... WRONG!! its easter here and iv had a really long weekend off, which i was looking forward to. we were going to decorate lil bits of the house to make it lil more homely then was going for a night out on sat, and to beach on monday. well that didn't happen! ill was feeling like shit. although over weekend wasn't ill just felt miserable. i kept crying and feeling generally grizzly. didn't help i had a cold coming. my poor boyf got the brunt of my mood all weekend not to mention i was in not state or mood to go out! and then yesterday and today the sickness kicked in! im back to work today and feeling bit better this sarvo, but belly doing sommersault. im so ready for the second trimester to kick in.... not long now. im just under 12 weeks!

despite all my moaning i think its cos this is when id normally be on my period or due, hence beening a lil grumpy!! but im am so happy to be pregnant regardless of the loo huggin at times! but we started sorting the house and it just feels like everything is staring to come together at last. i know iv got 6 months left but that will fly by. its always the beginning that drag is suppose! Iv now had to purchse maternity gear as im getting too big for my trouser and iv gone for some loose baggy top for summer too. so im really excited.

hello all. im 12 weeks as of 12th April. one more week till im officially in the second trimester, can wait for my energy to come back, yippee! we got our 12 weeks scan on tues... cant wait!!! will keep ya posted on it.

so we did decorate the down stairs of his house last weekend, but when i get some energy back we gena get cracking on upstairs we gena do our bedroom and the nursery thats when it will all be so real to us! cant wait!!!

On wednesday i was ready for a fight. people should know not to mess with a hormonal pregnant lady!! i was so seriously f***ed off with the nhs. iv had constant headache, not just a lil one like a migrane right between my eyes for 4 days now. On the tuesday i had blurry vision and just felt shit, i tried taking paracetomal but it came straight back up, i was really sick after. i went home and went straight to bed, hoping a good night sleep would cure it..... NO! so the next day i called the midwife to see if there was anything else i could do to help. she said i need to go to my doc straight away, so i called my doc but they didnt have an appointment. so i told her iv been told to come in staright away. she asked what for i told her, she said thats something for your midwife to deal with. so i called the midwfie back and she said they have not got the fcilities to do texts there i need to see a doc. so i called the doc back and she said come in for half 11, this was at 11 and i was 3 1/4s of an hour away. she said get her before 12 to be seen. but the time my cover for work arrived i made my way, but called and said i dont think ill be there for 12. they told me if i wasn' there for 12 they wouldn't see me. so i called my midwife again, and she said i need to ask for an emergency appointment, with that i start to worry. i asked if this was something i should be concerned about. she told me from my symptons the need to aliminate dehydration and diabetes..... not to make me worry at all! called the doc and she was so rude and said how do you know that whats wrong, i was like I DONT THATS WHY I NED A DOC TO MAKE SURE IT AINT!!! derrr. basically both of them were saying its there job, midwife saying go to doc, doc saying that midwife job, in the meantime while waiting for them to decide who's job it is im worrying away now! and get this.... my midwife said " we dont have the facilities to do those sort of tests here" i fort to myself, your in a hospital.... put a lot of faith in my for when i go into labour if there is a problem!! luckily ill be transfering when i move!! so anyway by this time i had arrived at my docs at 12.20. and refused to leave until someone told me me and my baby were fine. i got seen. everything is ok, but iv been told to keep my sugars low just incase. he gave me some soluable paracetomal for my headache and that was it.

has anyone else felt like they have had total lack of patient care.... but hey aslong as my and baby are ok, thats all i wanted to know!! but the soluable tasted like crap so i was ill again. so i currently still have a banging headache any tips greatly appreciated! anyways thats my lil rant over with. thats what great about this site you can let it all out knowing you may be being slighty paranoid about evry lil thing but so is everyone so we can all relate!! thanks for letting me vent!! keep well.

ok so we had our scan yesterday it was soooo amazing, definatly makes the sickness and all the groggy bits worth while.... we have an extremly active baby. it was jumping around, the lady said he dont want to be measured, she said if she find her job difficult baby is healthy so that was great to hear. we was waving away, then s/he turned to pull a mooney at his dad, s/he wouldn't do that to its mummy.... lol

it was just the best thing to see, you cant describe. so as for my due date as this was a lil hit and miss at last scan. well iv gone forward but still back. by my lmp my due date is 25th oct. we'll my last scan put me 31st october (halloween baby) but lil one caught up abit now, so im down as due the 27th october. im glad i wasn't still a week behind. iv made it to the second trimester, thats an even better feeling!! so mum and baby all doing just great! still got these dam headaches for like 5 days straight now, but its all worth it! so me and daddy are gena get cracking on the nursery at some point....

but the best part of all. paul really wants to know the sex of the baby, and our next scan is 25th june (21 weeks) which is his birthday. he said he cant get a better birthday present!! im so ecited but it seems agaes away yet, but it something to look forward to when im having a crap day at work i know iv got that treat to come!

ok so been a real shit week, iv been made redundant from my job... what a load of **!!##**. well total shocker as iv have it in writing that my company was gping to reposition me, so now got myself a lawyer and am taking them bas***** to court ! not only that but im 26 weeks till my due date this weeks, which means im not entitled to any maternity pay from a new employer, which is the 6 weeks at 90% so nearly £2000 which is a lot towards a baby! the rest ill get from the government. so today went down the job centre to find some new emplyment and the first thing they said was sign on.... i was like i dont want to claim benefits i want a job! useless!! and the government moan that there is so many people not working and on benefits now days, its the governments fault for making it so accessable! not that i have anything against people that do claim thats there choice but a job centre should at least make the effort to help people to look for employment! so yeah pretty annoyed today!! gggrrr i look at the pics of my last scan and know its all worth while! it'll all work out in the end i suppose its just the hassle of it all when i shouldn't even be in this position! but hey shit happens right!

so total excitment my fella gone away on a stag do so been a bit lonely.... but i felt my baby moving for the first time the other nite, it was amazing. at first was thinking no it probably just the chinese i munched down before, but i had been out for the night with my bessie mate so didnt get home til real late i was laying there and a swear i felt it again, so i waited and there it was again, no mistaking it, i was in a br before jiggin on the dancefloor, so just assumed it was my food digesting...... i ate lot that nite.... but it was definate. i started to cry, through excitment and the fact the paul missed it. but i felt close to him. i woke up the mext day extremly tred but im a great mood. and then i felt it the next night so i know i aint been imagining it. spoke to paul and he was really sad he missed it but it'll be some time before he feels it himself anyways. but its all to look forward too. so other than tat. just still on the job hunt, but iv been like a crazy women trying to get the house all ready, been decorating etc, but looks real good even if i do say so myself.

well i dont get on here much now, so the next time i update will probably be a few weeks when we have a sexing scan..... ill let ya know!! keep well mummies!!

ok so here it is we are having a bubba GIRL!! im so excited. most of my family and myself was convinced we were having a boy so it was like "....a girl??" lol but we are thrilled.

so we been real busy, we've decorated the nursery and our bathroom. it looks great. but no luck on the job front as of yet, i kinda given up to be honest, but hey im happy and healthy. so also had scan and midwife, growing perfectly, all healthy and as iv moved and iv reregistered with docs and new midwife i got double action. heard the heartbeat 3 times in the last 2 weeks. so extra cool. ne ways im only online cos im at my mums using here compy, so i prob wont be back online for a while cos i dont got access to pc and i live like an hour away from my folks now.... but ill keep in touch i hope your all happy and healthy like me. love ya all. xx

Hello all. well iv got one week to go and getting real excited but real nervous too!! the midwife told me the baby head has moved into my pelvis so im doing lots of walking, gravity etc to make sure she dont stall and that she keeps coming down and then out! bags packed all ready for the off. nursery ready all perfect got everything we need just waiting on the baby now, lol. any top tips would be great, i tell ya wont be a moment too soon for this lil one to arrive im so dam uncomfortable. 3 things im looking forward to when she is born, laying on my belly to sleep,not weeing constantly and comfortable sex, although im sure the last will be on the bottom of our priorities list for now!! oh well im sure he'll cope! so ill keep posted when she decides to make an appearance into the world but im certain she'll turn up late, so probably post in a few weeks. take care xx

hello all. iv not posted in ages, just been so busy. well my baby girl arrived, obviously... so here my labour story.

she was due sat 27th, nothing.... on the wednesday 31st i lost my plug it was gross like snot, my partner found making jokes hilarious, so i got all excited thinking its gena be soon. well the next day, me and another preggers mumma, anita, went for our weekly meet at another preggers mummas house, only to awake her husband who had been at the hospital all night as louise had her lil one(on time too) so instead we went out for lunch to celebrate. as im sitting in wetherspoon i started getting contractions, baring in mind id been having what the midwife called false labour contractions for about 2 weeks prior to this, so at first i didn't think much of it. but they come al lil stronger so i thought to myself as i lost my plug maybe this is it, so i went home and called my midwife just to pose the question. she was so unhelpful she said call your delivery suite.... so i did. they asked about the babies movements and we ended up going up to the hospital for a check, where i was told i was 1 cm.... yippee. so paul had the next day off thinking it was gena happen. i was having contraction all day constant, by 10 oclock that eve they were hurting so we went back, only to be told rudly that i wasn't in labour i was only 1 cm still and to go home! i was a lil upset, nothing had happened all day with all those contractions.

i had a really bad night, using the tens machine, neither of us really slept, he was rubbing my back and i was just too uncomfortable to sleep. the next day i had my term +7 visit from the midwife who done a stretch and sweep, omg that f***ing hurt. she told me i was only 1 1/2cm again very disappointing. she also told me they baby was back to back and thats why it was all more painful, but within 2 hours they were coming so strong so i got in the car and called the hospital on the way and said im coming in, they didn't get a choice, i was really struggling with the pain. we got there at 4 and they put me on gas and air, great stuff, for the first time i could relax. but i was only 2 cm, but they let me stay. over here they say 3 cm before real labour so anything before they send you home! after 4 hours i was at 4 cm, but then i stayed that way. they broke my waters, which didn't actually go until about an hour later when i accidentally farted, it was hilarious. still no further dialation so i had an epidural which didn't take then another before they gave me hormone. my contractions came hard and fast. but they said they were going to leave me 6 hours, working on 1cm an hour, after four i was struggling again, my epdural was wearing off, and when they checked me i was at 10cm, finally. 10 mins of pushing she was here. they i didn't have to deliver my placenta, the hormone made me really sick so it just fell out, literally. i said something just fell out and the midwife looked round and said, ...yes thats your placenta its on the floor and nother hilarious part. she weighed 5.12 1/2. tiny. nothing fitted her, my parents went out and bought all tiny baby clothes, newborn swamped her.

she is now 9 weeks today and so gorgeous. i love being a mum. she now weighs 8.5 the lil porker. she is fully breast fed. she sleep most of the night 7-8 and is now smiling and lifting her head. we getting a family portrait done tomorro, cant wait.

anyways hope all your babies and here and your all well. take care. xx

Wow its been a couple of years since ive been on here!! Caitlin(kitty) will be 2 next month! so much has changed.

i did sue my employer who made me redundant when i told him i was pregnant! and received £5200 pay out. as stressful as it was i urge anyone who find them selves in this situation to make a stand! its worth it in the end!

i now work as a self employed party organiser for ann summers. i get to choose my hours and work around pauls job so i get to stay home and look after my lil monkey during the day and i work evenings. i earn approx £20 an hour and my job us alot of fun!

we also bought our first house together. its massive! 3 bed driveway and garden, which i something that kitty didn't have at the old house. we only moved 3 months ago. the place needs work but its al livable but the finished product with be fab!

we also got married last month Aug 22nd 2009. alot of people had their opinions about me and paul as we had only been together a few months when i got pregnant, but now look at us. we've been together over 3 years now.

we are now trying for a second baby. nothing yet but only been 1st month so wasn't expecting much. so hopefully in good time we'll be expecting a baby brother or sister for kitty!! cant wait! very excited....

i look foward to keeping updated with the site as our family grows!! ciao for now!
