Found out on Friday. We had planned to start trying about now ages ago but then changed our minds recently and decided we'd save for another year as we're not in secure jobs. We obviously didn't try very hard to avoid one though.
We're very happy now, over the initial shock. This is our first. My sis had a baba (cousin due the same week one year later 
) and she had no morning sickness, no nausea, only the expected discomfort and no stretch marks. She even kept up her running even when she could only do a minute at a time before her heart rate alarm went. :pac: I'm hoping it's all in the family!
I had to tell two mates I was due to run races with and ask them not to blow my cover. I'm going to make up really good times for myself.;) I'll keep jogging but not going to run as I've only been training this summer, probably not that fit. I'll be 12 weeks at the mid-term (I'm a secondary school teacher) and I'll be getting my scan just before Christmas I think (they do it very late in Wexford) so don't know which of them will be a good time to tell the clann. I'll have a bump by Christmas anyway and another sis is a Doc (a "when are you having a baba" nosey, broody on my behalf Doc) so have to be careful to disguise my belly as soon as anything's showing. I swear I'll come home some weekend and she'll say "your uterus looks a bit swollen, are you pregnant?". I think despite my intentions I'll probably reveal it prematurely with all the baba talk that's on in my house and the digs at me to add a second grandkid.
It's very early days so just taking it every day as it comes for the time being. Will miss my smelly cheeses 
So ladies, sounds like the first one is hard to enjoy, any tips to avoid getting a bit miserable?0 -

Thanks Mamabear29! I'm too much of a newbie to be allowed to "thank" posts I think. It is very late, 18-20 weeks so I make that between the 10th and 24th of December. They only seem to send you earlier if you're at risk. I think I'm ok with that but if not I'll fork out the €99 to do it private. Doctors in the family are of no benefit with hospital appointments. Great for saving you the 60 quid you'd be paying to see a Doc to get Rxs for routine meds like contraceptives but I won't be needing them anyway! Luckily she considers the €60 to be less "ethical" than the "treating":rolleyes: of family members.
She doesn't work in the maternity ward but she'll be great for getting info off once I do get a proper appointment. She'll be delighted when she finds out, can't wait to tell her.
Thanks for the advice! I'm a bit worried about relaxing as I'm very hyper and addicted to work. Wish first trimester fell in the summer holidays instead of now! I get so much time off that when I am on I put in every hour I can and I actually really enjoy doing it. I usually "crash" in late November/early Dec and March like clockwork! I will obviously be eating properly though and looking after myself so that's going to help this year. But definitely going to have a no work after 8pm policy. (Except for tonight because I've been able to do nothing since finding out bar make this face :eek: )
Definitely happier getting advice off strangers for the moment 0 -

Great hearing about how ye are getting on!
I think I jinxed myself saying my nausea wasn't too bad! I'm sick as a dog all afternoon!! Was ok in work all morning but as soon as I ate lunch I regretted it
Stretchy pains going on below as well!
I've decided already it must be a boy cos I wasn't as sick with my girl!!
It's really funny that half of us don't have due dates yet! We are nice and vague on our dates! We booked in for a private scan in 2 weeks when I 'think' I'll be about 8&1/2 weeks and so will hopefully get a date then! I'll prob tell my mum soon after that. Think I'll leave everyone else as long as I can - although I swear I have a swolen belly already - its just bloat but because of the lack of muscle tone from the recent pregnancy I look about 4-5 months gone at the mo
At least everyone will be afraid to ask incase I'm just still fat from other baby! It's good in that way!0 -

Someone walked by me in the staff room and said "you're pregnant?" because I was saying "probable" to someone and she misheard. I look forward to telling her she must be psychic one day. My trousers aren't tight so I don't think I'm getting bloated like you two. I've been going to the loo a lot more so I think they've canceled each-other out. Oh says my boob are HUGE and I don't think they are, just feel a bit heavier. I came off the pill two years ago because the hormones in it were making them ginormous. I was a 30G! Can you imagine? 32DD now and working with teenage boys I really would prefer if boobs and belly grew at similar rate. They might feel bad about any perversions then!
When we thought I might be pregnant for the few days when I was late oh was saying about how bad that timing would be and that he really hoped I wasn't. I was concerned he'd be worrying because he's a worrier anyway but I've noticed him silently smiling to himself a lot. Even in the car, he always wear a frown driving and now he has this bright-eyed bushy-tailed look on him. It's adorable. I doubt any baba could compete with his cuteness. :pac: (I'm 28 going on 16)
I still haven't made appointment with doc. I feel like I should go to a female GP, can't go to my GP at home because I've moved counties. Does it matter? Two female docs in my town and realised one is the mother of one of my 6th years. And then I was thinking most of the Docs probably have a connection to the school. I know confidentiality at all but does it matter? And will the GP ever need to examine your ....mmmm.... or anything? Because then I'd mind less I suppose.
Thanks ladies! And congratulations! xxx0 -
Oh girls, maybe I am getting symptoms, not only does the above post show signs of decreased ability to spell, an individual in my family left his username up and I posted on the last thread he was on saying that I knew who he was with a little winky face....
Then I had to ask the next person who posted with my quote to delete it and I had to delete my own post because... duh... that individual would see that I'm pregnant.
That was a close one! It only dawned on me five minutes later.
How ditsy can you get? 0 -

Haha lucky escape!!!
Don't worry about the doc - they really do have to keep quiet! It's their jobs worth! The entirety of my last pregnancy all the gp did was feel my belly and use a Doppler on it for heartbeat - she never went near my lady bits in fact now that I think of it... No one saw it until after the c section when doing catheter!!! By then my dignity was the last thing on my mind - mostly cos of the drugs
I'm back at work a couple of weeks now and ppl keep asking me when we gonna try for number 2 - I know their messing so I can't wait to see their jaws drop when I can actually tell them our news!
Glad to hear I'm not the only one bloated its like my belly has totally remembered how to grow outward!! I hate this - it'll just stay looking fat now til about 16-20 weeks! Booo to the tubby belly!!! 0 -
