    I am feeling fine, didnt have morning sickeness with my little boy but did with my girl - so maybe its another boy. My boobs are a bit tender - i think i was six weeks last time when i started wearing a bra in bed for comfort.

    Ah, and same due date too! Congrats to you!
    When are ye telling people? we told family at 10 weeks last time, but finding it very hard to keep it in this time - havent told anyone (except my boards.ie due in July 2012 girls) and my husband of course.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3 micecce


    We told immediate family as soon as we found out as my husband couldn't keep the secret! Will tell everyone else after the first scan at 12 weeks!

    Was at the doctor this morning,taught he would of done another test but he didn't, he just checked blood pressure etc and gave me the letter to send to the hospital!
    Have you been to the doctor yet?

    I went to the Dr yesterday too. I thought she would take a urine sample (I thought they took one at every appointment last time) but she didnt, She just took blood and got me to sign the letter - she sends it to the hospital. I am going for the midwives clinic in the CUMH again this time - was fantastic the last time, had no problems whatsoever and hardly any waiting around in waiting rooms. i'd say it will be Aug before I get my first scan.

    We've told immediate family already but will wait until 10/12 weeks to tell everyone else ! Off to doctor today :) how are u all feeling ? X


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,722 ✭✭✭silly


    I feel grand! no pains or aches really apart from a few cramp type feelings on and off. How about ye?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,065 ✭✭✭Kash


    I'm due on the 26th! I had my first back in July 2012, and as silly said, the boards thread for that was a lifesaver.

    Hoping that this time will be smooth sailing, and I'll be less freaked out :)

    Congratulations to all!

    Hi girls.
    We've just found out we're expecting baby no 2 on the 21 Feb. My little boy has just turned 11 months!! I am delighted but in shock. I hadn't gone back on the pill as I had some difficulties but we were being careful!! Ha! I'm tired and crampy but no sickness so far. I was on the Due July 2013 thread and found it great. Looking forward to sharing the journey with you girls. X

    Hi all,
    I have just found out we're expecting our first and I'm guessing it'll be Feb 2015, have a doctors appoint,net made for next week, only getting my head around it. Super excited but also can't believe this time next year I'll be up to my eyes in baby paraphernalia, Eeks!

    Haven't told anyone else except the hubby obviously. Wondering how I'm going to get around a work night out next Friday and a hen and wedding in a few weeks!

    Any tips?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,722 ✭✭✭silly


    welcome girls and congrats to you both!

    Bomberino - antibiotics is the likely choice for getting around the not drinking - but there will always be people that will see right past that! You could always not go in rounds, drink 7up or whatever and just let on there is vodka in it. Or at the wedding you could have 1/2 wine spritzers with the meal - just say that wine gives you headaches?

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,065 ✭✭✭Kash


    Mine isn't until August either, seems like an age away! Morning sickness has started in earnest this week, except it is mid-afternoon, early evening sickness, and strong smells are really setting it off. I can smell my little one's nappy from across the house! Hmm, wonder if this means I can get daddy to change and wash all of the stinky nappies?!! ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,722 ✭✭✭silly


    Good Luck with that Kash - let us know how that goes, might try it myself!

    Ladies, any of you really suffering from fatigue at the mo? i'm really floored the last few days, lightheaded when I wake in the morning, constant need to graze and napping at every opportunity but even after a goodish sleep last night the thoughts of having to find the energy to get into the shower and wash my hair had me early in tears. I'm taking the pregnacare vitamins and eating fairly good plenty of beef etc but think I will ring the DRs in the morning see if she can fit me in to check blood pressure etc.


  • Registered Users Posts: 489 ✭✭clartharlear


    I can't tell if my constant sleepiness and non-stop yawning is actually just the result of the massive reduction in coffee intake!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,065 ✭✭✭Kash


    Knackered, Trishka, no energy whatsoever. It doesn't help that I'm waking up 5 times a night to pee and can't ever seem to nap.
    I was the same in the first trimester last time, it eased off a bit around week 14/15 for me. But always worth going to the doc if you are in any way worried.

    Clartharlear, that must be so hard! I was never a coffee drinker, but my hubby is a big fan and just doesn't function properly without it!


  • Registered Users Posts: 124 ✭✭TRISHKA


    Hi Kash, yes have a 21 month old as was tired the last time but not 100% sure if I was just SOOO tired/light headed, and yes it took to weeks15/16 for it to lift too, everyone kept telling me at week 12 when go into 2nd trimister the tiredness would lift but took the extra few weeks. clartharlear have been on decaf tea and coffee since finding out I was pregnant and do think the initial tiredness was caffine withdrawal but that did lift a couple of weeks ago. Toddler napping now so think I will try have a wee nap X


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,722 ✭✭✭silly


    I am completely shattered too - and starving at around 11 every day - I used to be fine from breakfast to lunch, but lately I cant concentrate with the hunger pains so have to bring snack to work. And we dotn need extra calories I dont think and if we do I think its only minimal - like a banana or something...i can feel the weight piling on already and my clothes are tight..
    My doc asked me to go back for more blood tests but i have yet to make the appointment. I will try and get into her this week as I am having some breathing problems that are annoying me...


  • Registered Users Posts: 124 ✭✭TRISHKA


    Hi Silly hope you get the appointment with Dr soon, have appointment tomorrow morning, had hoped to be seen Monday or Tuesday but all booked up at 9 on Monday morning, have to say fatigue wasn't eased at all although not quite as light-headed as last week, sitting here surfing and should be doing loads of housework, house a tip at mo but just cant motivate myself to delve into it, maybe a chocolate bar may give me the extra energy needed:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 489 ✭✭clartharlear


    I haven't had so much as a twinge of nausea so far - I thought morning sickness should have hit by now?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,065 ✭✭✭Kash


    Some people never suffer with it at all. I had it very mild last time, and I think it only happened because of the Pregnacare vits I was taking. How many weeks are you?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,722 ✭✭✭silly


    I just get nausea in the evenings and some foods i normally like i am gone completely off - like spuds. but i think if someone else made them i might like them...its wierd.

    Had a dr appointment for yesterday as one of the girls at work is on jury duty so i couldnt take the time off. - the next available appointment is the 16th!!!

    The morning (all day) sickness is getting worse, and really getting me down - I'm struggling to concentrate at work with it and it's even waking me up in the morning :( Fingers crossed it passes soon!
