afternoon tea wrote: »Oh I'll keep that in mind when I'm looking at books! We are going to look at prams etc at the weekend just to see how much they are but we have just bought a house this week so it's now dawning on me how much I'm going to have to save!!!!
On another note, can I ask - I had a mega craving for dry roasted peanuts last night and gave in and ate them - have others on here been eating peanuts? I heard we should avoid in case we give baby a nut allergy!
And also what about baths? I love boiling hot baths but read we shouldn't have too hot a bath so I have had two warm baths so far but couldn't relax when I was in there at all out of worry!! what do others think? Are there things that you are avoiding??
Hi all
Hope all the December mama's are keeping well
Afternoon tea I think I read somewhere that it's only a mammy with a peanut allergy should avoid peanuts but maybe check with your doctor first just incase. I never heard that about the baths so can't help you there. Only things I'm being careful with are eggs and whipped ice-cream.
With our dd we started buying things at about 18 weeks. We picked out everything we wanted and got it all in sales or online alot cheaper than paying full price!
We told my parents today baby number two is on the way. My sister and sister in law came to tell us they are pregnant too our due dates are 2nd, 8th & 10th December very excited grandparents to say the least!!!0 -
Hi ladies. I hope everyone is feeling okay this evening.
I had my early scan today! It was quick enough - it only lasted about 10 minutes but it provided me with a tonne of reassurance so it was worth every penny!
I did have some serious last minute nerves that everything wouldnt be okay or that even after 4 home pregnancy tests, a doctors visit, and a month of severe nausea that I had somehow hallucinated the whole thing!
We saw the heartbeat and kind of a baby - though it just looked like a peanut really We got photos and the heart beat and size of the baby is perfectly normal. Plus our due date is a couple of days earlier than expected. We were given the 5th December as our date. It feels so much more real now and I have started telling close friends as a result.
So happy, excited and relieved!
Closifer, delighted your scan went so well, it's such an amazing thing to see. It really does make it so real and it's so nice to have the scan pictures to look at 0 -

Hi everyone I'm new here. Congrats everyone on their pregnancies. I'm 9 weeks along due on the 10th of December and it can't come quick enough!! I had a scan at 7 weeks due to being a diabetic and having a miscarraige last November. It was amazing to see the baby and the heartbeat have another scan now when I will be 12 1/2 weeks can't wait. I have so many symptoms sore breasts and they have gotten so big and from the 6 week mark I've been very sick like throwing up a few times every day it's horrible but can't complain as it means everything's going well with the baby all I'm doing is sleeping which isn't a bad thing either looking forward to following the thread and hearing about how everyone is getting on. 0

Welcome and congratulations mil83, we are due the same day it's so exciting. I had an early scan too great to see the baby.
I have morning (all day) sickness with this baby it's not nice. It usually goes by week 12 hopefully that is the case for us:)
Sleep whenever you can it use to drive me mad when people said that to me with dd but I wish I listened to them!
Looking forward to chatting to you over the next few months!0 -

Is anyone else having horrible dreams?
For the past few weeks I have been having strange dreams-but the past 3nights I have been having absolutely horrible dreams and am woken crying or shaking from the nightmares.
I feel like chucky is under my bed
Beltzar - I have heard before that strange dreams are really common in early pregnancy for some reason or other! I have had a few very strange ones too, but then again I usually do!! 0 -

afternoon tea wrote: »It's mad how exhausting it is - it has really surprised me, I never imagined feeling this tired! I'm finding it hard to concentrate at work as just want to close my eyes and sleep! I am feeling sick all day (luckily not actually vomiting though) I read about vitamin B6 being good for nausea in pregnancy so I bought some of that today - fingers crossed!
Had a panicky moment at the weekend where I had a 99 from an icecream van, half way through munching it I remembered there being something in it I wasn't meant to eat...straight on google and yep - apparently they are a no no due to listeria risk!!!! Seems so silly, I almost feel like walking around with a list to remind myself what I can and can't eat!!
Hope everyone else is doing well on here - Big Welcome to Mil83!
afternoon tea - I am the exact same with the tiredness. I'm really struggling to get through the day in work. The morning is okay but once it hits 3 o' clock - I am really struggling to keep the eyes open. I would really love a pert-time job right now!! 0 -

Hi Excited,
Thanks so much for the long reply. Really appreciate the time you put into the posting. You are great to be doing 24 hour shifts. It must be tough going.
Well done on doing the gentle walks. I havn't started yet. I think I will wait a little while more before I start.
Thanks for the reassurance regarding your mother's and work colleagues experiences of being pregnant. It has reassured me no end. Please god all will be ok.
I can sleep most of the time but do wake early. Went to bed last night at 11pm (usually it's 9.30 or 10 these days) and woke at 5am. Really annoying. Dozed off again at 7am and slept till 9am. Don't get this luxury during the week so usually get up when I wake. Usually if I go to bed at 11pm will sleep until after 8 am but I normally am ready to hit bed much earlier than that (very unusual for me!). I am also waking during the night and have to get up to pee. Now this used happen me before I was pregnant but I feel it's way more frequent now.
That's tough on you not sleeping much though. I hope it will improve for you. I also sleep on my tummy. I can still sleep that way. I won't be 8 weeks until tue or wed. Do you think it's bad for the embryo that I'm sleeping on my tummy?
That's gas the way your mother figured it out. It's funny the way you described her. I havn't seen my mother in a while so I'm hoping she won't guess when I do see her. She doesn't miss much either...
Thanks again for the reply. Really appreciate it.
Thanks also guesswhat for the reply.
Hope everyone is doing well,
Cynthia0 -

A part time job would be heaven! Realy struggling at the moment, all I want to do is sleep, it's the only thing that gets rid of the 24/7 nausea. Missed some days of work last week, really hoping I don't have to miss much more. It seems to have eased a little over the weekend but I don't want to speak too soon!!0 -

Cynthia: Im delighted you feel a bit reassured, we all are the same really, i ahve my moments when Im very scared and fret that things are'nt going well. It seems like time is going so slow when at the end of the day we all just want to feel like we're safe now and can really start to enjoy the pregnancy without so much worry, we all have to just hang in there and hope for the best and hopefully watch the weeks slip by to get over that 12 week mark.
Ive done the same as afternoon tea and basically told the people that i would be telling if anything bad did happen, but touch wood that wont be an issue.
Forgot to say the last time that yes, the dr told me to count from the first day of your last period. Regarding sleeping on your tummy, i dont think it would be bad for the baby, its just uncomfortable for me so thats why im not doing it, but i would be if i could so enjoy it while you can 0 -
Hi Excited,
Thanks for that. Yes it will be great when we get to the 12+ week mark as I heard recently of a girl who had a miscarriage at 12 weeks - very sad, especially when she probably thought she was safe. Anyhow we have to be positive.
Thanks I am counting from the last day of my period too.
I love sleeping on my tummy, I don't know how you are managing! or how I will manage in a few weeks time all going well.
Getting tired now so going to hit the sack!
Tomorrow is the start of another week!! oh let the weeks fly by...
Night everyone0 -

HI All,
Just wondering what are everyones opinions on getting highlights while pregnant??
I had mine done just before i got pregnant but its time i do something with my hair again. I read soewhere that its not recommended to dye all your hair blonde as it makes contact with your roots etc but that highlights are ok because they dont actually make contact with your roots/head.
To be honest im thinking of just avoiding them altogether now and just having the hairdresser put a light brown in my hair as thats my natural colour, but im wondering is there a difference what type of dye i ask her to use i.e permanent semi etc? I cant ask her as ive just started going to her but shes very good friends with some of my friends that im not telling im pregnant for another few weeks,
I know this is so trivial but i havent a clue about it so would appreciate any shared knowledge 0 -

I just had my blonde highlights done last week and my hairdresser (who has just recently had a baby herself) said highlights were fine
Gotta feel pretty and pampered during this time too!0
