10-12-2015 12:01pm#1I didn't see another thread for this so thought I'd get the ball rolling. We found out we're expecting at the start of August, I'm nearly 5 weeks gone already! I'm showing already and my jeans are starting to get a bit cosy, digging into me so I had to buy a few maternity bottoms already. I got through my last pregnancy great but I can see this one being harder already. Hopefully there will be others along to join me soon

Thank you! Who knows, I might end up in the July thread at the end. I was in the July thread the last time but gave birth in August. I might do the opposite this time 0 -

Congratulations Miss Merry Berry. Is this number two for you?
I'll tentatively put myself in here too. Looks like we're expecting number 2 on August 8th. Our son is 20 months. I'm excited at the thought of having a sibling for him. Hopefully everything will go well. I had a relatively easy pregnancy last time so I'm hoping for the same again, but I can see already that being pregnant with a toddler will be tiring. I'm knackered in the evenings.
Yes, I have a 2.5 year old too. You took the words out of my mouth, I'm finding the same thing, the last pregnancy went great. I didn't have any morning sickness and could rest and sleep when I felt like it. This time is different, my daughter is using me as a horse, a slide, climbing frame, you name it! It's so hard getting any rest and I'm exhausted in the evening too but I'm so looking forward to my daughter having a sibling too. I was extremely close in age to all my siblings and this is the way I wanted it for my own family. It'll all be worth it in the end 0 -

I'm going to the Coombe. Sent in my letter last week and was expecting to get my dating scan at around 12 weeks but got a response this week and it turns out it will take place on my 8th week. It's great but does that mean I wont have another one until I'm 18/20 weeks gone? I was hoping it would be later so I could tell people after having it as it would be past the first trimester mark...
From what I can remember, you have your first scan around the 3 month mark which it looks like they're giving you early and then the big scan around 20 weeks. I went to the Coombe up to 8 months and then moved home to have my baby last time. I found the staff at the Coombe amazing.
The nauseousness has caught up with me this week along with the tiredness. I will be 8 weeks pregnant this week, it's crazy to believe. I'm so excited but I know there's a long way to go 0 -
I was hoping we'd have a few new joiners?!
Happy with the age gap too. Feel like we're "in the zone" in terms of nappies, childcare, baby stuff!
How's everyone feeling? I'm a little nauseous, certainly more than last time, but nothing major. I swing between not being able to look at food and absolutely ravenous. No puking though. Phew!
When is everyone telling friends and family?
I'm gong to wait until I have the first scan and then enjoy the news hopefully and wait a while after that. Maybe around the 4 month mark if I can get away with it for that long 0 -

Might book a private scan at 12 weeks then for reassurance. I was a bit annoyed about having to pay but realised that I will be in Spain that week and they are about 40 euro so not too bad.
Evaleigh, I've been told that ginger tablets help. I think I'm going to try them. I'm so nauseous! I'm not being sick like with my first (bar one time), but it's a horrible feeling. With my first I took Cariban (not licensed here but your pharmacist can order it for you), it didn't take the feeling away but it help get food down. The only thing is that because it is not "sold" here it costs something like 40 euro a box!! Crazy!! It was a life saver, but I was abroad so it was about 17 euro instead. I don't get sick now so don't think it would do that much.0 -
