I'm a stay at home mum so no mat leave for me. One of the reasons I didn't go back to work is that I knew I would be very sick on another pregnancy so life is a lot easier not having to worry about missing weeks of work!
I'm 11 weeks and everybody knows already - too hard to hide but I don't mind really
I had hyperemesis on my last too so work knew very early on. Sometimes that's just the way it is! I'm sure it will be nice for you all to have the news out there. It really feels real when everyone knows!0 -

I plan to take as long as possible but im concerned that financially we'll struggle by the end.... but not gonna worry about all that right now... :-) really don't know how work will react. My job involves me being on my feet most of the day and involves a lot of walking, stairs and stretching - not great when im finding it hard to keep my eyes open most afternoons!
It depends really, but I'd check your contract and see what/if they offer any maternity? Luckily in my job I get 6 months on full pay and I hope to take and extra 2/3 months on top of that but we'll see.
And i am glad to hear I am not the only one that cannot keep my eyes open

I am due on 3rd June, I will be weeks on Tuesday. This will be my second. Don't have my booking appointment until the 1st December, wish it was sooner!!! I had a rough 3-4 weeks of sickness and I'm finding work very difficult with the tiredness etc.. Hope that you all are keeping well.
Congrats and welcome!
I'm on two types of drugs and both have drowsiness as side effects. I'm very sleep these days I remember what it was like being at work exhausted last time, it must be tough for you ladies. It does get better after the first trimester! I used to sleep in my car with a duvet on my lunch breaks. It really helped! 0 -

I'm due the same day, snap! 0 -
We should do a post with usernames/due dates so we can keep track
Hope everyone is doing well and isn't too sick or tired.
I'm still stick a lot and can't really go out or anything but I'm a lot better than I was so hopefully will avoid any more trips to the hospital anytime soon. My booking in appointment is 2 weeks today (I will be 13.5 weeks) so I'll get checked out again there. I'm still losing weight because I just can't keep enough calories in but I'm hoping that stops soon. I weigh less now then I did when I was a teenager! When the sickness lifts I am going to stuff my face with so many delicious things 0 -

Hey girls, hope it's not too late to join the party :P due sometime in June, damn me and my stupid day long forgettable periods! Having my scan in 2 weeks so hopefully they can give me some bit of a better idea cause just having a month isn't ideal! Apart from the crying and tiredness not really much else happening which is actually worrying the bejaysus outta me, feels like there's something wrong even though I know it's just that everyone's different! Oh and congrats everyone 0

I wish I knew my date too. I'm saying its June 14th but I have to wait for the scan because my cycle is/was all over the place. I have PCOS and underactive thyroid so I'm a tough one to calculate!!
Already had a booking appointment and a scan at 6 weeks though but am booked again for a dating scan on dec 3rd and then consultant in January
Any of you feeling ridiculously bloated? I've actually had to give in and buy maternity clothes, even though I've actually lost about 2kg. Really
Needed work trousers!!0 -

Hi ladies. My estimated due date is 12 June. Have my first appointment at the Coombe in just over 2 weeks so will be interesting to see what due date they give me based on the scan.
So far I'm having incredibly soft symptoms and really counting myself lucky. Tiredness, bloating and pimples are really all that I'm getting so far. I know I shouldn't wish for sickness but with such soft symptoms it's hard at times to believe that I'm actually pregnant.
Are any of you having first trimester screening done? I'm from the UK and it's standard to test for Downs etc there around 12 weeks. It seems to be an extra that you have to ask for here - is that right? This is my first pregnancy so everything is completely alien to me!
Yep, I'm pretty sure you have to ask and pay for it. I know I wasn't offered it on my last pregnancy anyway and I wasn't too fussed on having it so I'm not 100% sure.
I know what you mean about the sickness, obviously it's horrible to be sick but when you're this early on it's hard to believe you're really up the duff. I get hourly reminders that there's something in there messing me up. I've also started feeling flutters too which is nice. I did feel the baby move early last time (at 15/16 weeks) and it is very early to feel anything now but apparently it's possible and more common if you've lost a lot of weight (I've lost 15 lbs in the last 6 weeks or so). It's different to gas/other feelings you get. Sure, you'll have a bump and be kept awake at night by kicks in no timeHey girls, hope it's not too late to join the party :P due sometime in June, damn me and my stupid day long forgettable periods!

ok, updated list here. We can alter when dates get confirmed etc. I've had two scans and my due date has been confirmed anyway. Technically I'm May but even though I went a week early last time I think it'll likely be a June baby
I just added people who have posted recently so anyone else feel free to add your date!
Woshy: 29th May
Wittyname1: 3rd June
Wedfan: 3rd June
Fifi_123: 12th June
Allirog: 14th June
tfak85: 19th June

It's just so exciting!
I can't understand about you wanting the sickness or something so that you feel pregnant. I think if I didn't have it Id be the same. But what I have is horrendous. Just constant nausea. I'd nearly rather vomit!
You really don't want to be vomiting - take it from me!
Hopefully the nausea won't last past the 13 weeks for you anyway. Not too long to go 0 -
-
Hahaha I know what you mean. I just have myself convinced that if I vomited then my nausea would be gone
But only 2.5 wks to 12 weeks and then I just know it's going to disappear along with these spots
Exactly and then you'll get fab skin and hair and everyone will tell you you're glowing. On my last pregnancy my hair took ages to get greasy so instead of washing it every two days I used to get 5 days out of it. It was great!
Oh and if it helps my nausea doesn't go anywhere when I get sick. It's always there no matter what so you're probably better off keeping what you eat down. Pregnancy is just so delightful 0 -

I know what you mean with the nausea, I have a hiatus hernia aswel so most of my 'pregnancy' symptoms I've actually had for months due to the hernia so it definitely doesn't feel real for me!
How did people find the early private scan? My booking in is 2 weeks today but I'm feeling so impatient I still want to get one sooner just to set my mind at ease!
Lots of crying again this morning, please tell me that only lasts to 12 weeks too, my OH is getting embarrassed to be seen with me in case people think he's hitting me or somethin :P
Totally bloated aswel, can't sleep cause I can't get comfortable but yet I'm tired all the time, this is all so confusing :P0 -
Oh Boo! you sound like you really are going through a hormonal rollercoaster.
I didn't have a private scan because I had one in the Coombe at 6 weeks but I would have had one if that scan hadn't happened plus I have another one this day 3 weeks but I get where you are coming from! If you are in a position to get a private scan, then go for it 0 -
I'd also recommend a private scan if you are in a position to do so. I had one last time and it makes you feel so much better that you are feeling like crap for a reason. It really gave me a boost! I also felt comfortable telling people once I had had the scan (I think I was 8 weeks when I had it).
I didn't get one this time because I had two in the hospital while I was staying in there so I saved myself 120 0 -

Oh Petal - that sounds horrible
at least you can go back on the meds and hopefully they don't take long to kick in. Vomiting constantly is just so debilitating, I know. It's tough as we'll because you're growing a person and a placenta and you can't keep anything down so there's no energy going in to help you out. It's just awful. Hopefully it's only up from here for you! 0 -

I may have jinxed myself!! Maybe this baby does not like when I go to work all day yesterday was not fun with nausea I've got very little boob pain so that's good. I'm going to go this weekend and get a new sports bra though. I have 2 and find them great so just want to keep with them!
How are we all now? I'm 2 weeks to my scan and I am SO excited!! 0 -

I'm 13 weeks today - finished the first trimester! No let up in the puking yet though. Hopefully in a couple of weeks. I'm still glad to get to 13 weeks anyway.
The other day I was thinking I must ask for a follow up appointment with the dietician at my booking appointment next week (I spoke with her a few times while I was hospitalised), to discuss if I need to try put weight on, what I should be eating once the puking stops etc as I eaten nothing with any goodness or nutrients in it in the last 8 weeks. Then the next morning a letter arrives from the hospital saying a follow up appointment had been made for next week. They read my mind! Very impressed anyway.
I chose to go to the midwives clinic run by Holles Street in my local hospital instead of traipsing into the hospital (I did the midwive led care last time but going into the hospital and it was great. Like witthname1 said, no queues and I felt the care was a lot more personal). I was thinking I'd be great not having to go into town all the time and turns out cos the hyperemesis is/was so bad I've ended up going in loads anyway! Just shows you can't plan with pregnancy 0 -

Awe Woshy, congrats on finishing the first trimester!! I'm nearly there. I am 11 weeks today so getting there, what feels like very slowly, but getting there none the less I've already had an appointment and a scan in the coombe and have another scan on December 3rd then meeting the consultant on the 19th. I'm starting to get really excited and thinking al things names and what to buy! My OH is gone car shopping today because having a car with a tiny boot and no rear passenger doors is not ideal hope everyone is doing well... and feeling good!!! my nausea isn't lasting as long but it's still there! 0

Sent into maternity by my hypochondriac doctor because of pains, I've been panicking all the time but I was sure everything was ok but it was pretty unnerving to see the doctors worried and it was a scary few hours but they did a scan and baby boo is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! I totally believe in love at first sight now
Pain is still there, its more like a pressure but in the same place every time so I think that's what they were worried about, they said it could be ectopic but it's perfectly snug in my womb thankfully! Pain is annoying but not as bad now that I know they don't mean anything!
Can't wait for the proper scan on Wednesday at ny booking in cause they couldn't give us pictures or anything off of the machine the other night. Hope everyone's feeling better now that we're getting towards the second trimester, congrats to woshy I'm so jealous :P0 -

That must have been scary! I'm glad to hear everything is okay.
I'm officially out of the first trimester too at some point this weekend. I hope the next one goes as fast!0 -
