I had a blood test done to confirm pregnancy but I haven't had another one since then. My hcg at that time was about 123 I think, and that would have been around 3 weeks 5 days when that test was done. But my dates might not be right.
I am working, I am on a fixed term contract as a teacher until end of Sept so I hope to work until then but will have to see how it goes as Im monitoring my blood pressure at the moment. It was really high when I first found out I was pg but its come down again, so if it goes up again I might have to stop work.
My symptoms are mainly sore boobs, very tired, hungry a lot and some stretching pains at times but not all the time. I have had a few nauseous moments but not any actual sickness.
Does this sound about right for my stage? Can't wait for the scan

ok managed to do what I thought I was doing last time.
Briefly:
Due December 8, not sure to refer to as baby 2 or 3 (previously miscarried) and "baby" was very much part of our family. One lovely two year old boy.
Used to hang out on another forum but with new baby it's time for a change

Any advice on double buggys? Can see the sense in a phil and ted because its narrower, but to me it looks like the kid at the back doesnt get much room? Hmmm decisions decisions. We have a second hand mountain buggy off trade me and I have really loved it.

U could get a lil kickboard for the back of your mountain buggy or one of those seats that goes on front?
I brought a phil and teds one as we wanted a small age gap, goin to be a bit further apart than planned but still should hopefully be okay, the seat with phil and teds can go on front or underneath

depends on how you use your buggy. The phil and teds can be quite unstable when packed with two kids, prone to tipping. It's not at all suited to anything off road etc (most people don't know that phil and teds aren't of-roaders). I like the compactness of the PnT though.
Doulbe buggies (side by side) take up loads of room - I can barely make it through/round most shops as it is with only a single mountain buggy - I would dread taking in a double.
There are lots of side car type options around, depending on the weight of your eldest child. Or toddler seats. Or if elder child wasn't heavy you could try a soft structured carrier (like an ergo) or you could carry bubs in a sling or wrap carrier?
There are so many options out there these days, it just gets confusing sometimes

Welcome Weeheebaby
I also am not sure what to do about a pram.. we have a MB Urban Elite and love it to bits, I think we might keep it and get a buggy board for Ash (and hope she will stay on it lol). Never liked P&T's for some reason..
Having some really weird bloating at the moment, one minute I seriously look 22 weeks pg and the next my stomach is flat again  Other than that and very slight nausea, I think i'm doing okay. Oh, and for some reason this pregnancy I am already needing to pee all the time!! I didn't get that at all last time.
I have been very naughty and indulged in lots of choc this weekend.. Not a good start, hehe. Last pg I gained 15kg and *hope* to stay around there this time too 
Off to have a peek at the buggypod!
Have a great night ladies x

lurker here...
I had TERRIBLE bloating early on, flat tummy at the beginning of the day and felt like a whale by the end of the day - mega wind as well.
It went away around 16 weeks I think? The wind is still here a little bit but not too bad now :)
Good luck ladies!!

Kriss Im feeling very bloated too around the middle, it's quite uncomfortable. My pants still fit the same but I have to loosen them otherwise there's too much pressure.
So I think it's probably normal hehe :)

How's everyone going today - any more nausea?
I woke up during the night and again at 6 feeling quite queasy. I've taken to keeping plain biscuits and highly sugared drinks next to the bed for any time I wake during the night as last time round my docotr suggested low blood sugar is "one" of the contributing factors that "could" make a difference to MS.
Went fabric shopping today as I'm going to get big quick (I think so anyway, did last time and expecting more of the same) and really want to be comfy!

Hi girls
I went for a dating scan today because I really had no idea when my last AF was. They told me I was no more than 5 weeks and to come back next week so they can give me some dates. So that means it's likely I will be a December Mummy too
I had been posting in the November 2010 thread cause I thought I might be due in November but it's more likely to be December so here I am.
As you can see from my siggie I have 2 girls - Charlotte 3 and Sophia 1. This wasn't a planned pg at all but both DH and I are quite excited. I am still very nervous this early on since I had 2 mc between Charlotte and Sophia but I'll keep anxiously looking each time I go to the loo and hope for the best
