Congrats cupcakekiwi - great news :) I think just say you have made a decision to do a bit of a detox over the summer season and see if you can last a few months and hope u have their support or something?! haha. Its hard aye. How many are you going to tell that you are preg? just close fam/friends? So hard to know who to tell and who not to, there a few very good friends I haven't told...but they are also the kind of friends who are terrible at secrets! so think will hold off telling them for a little bit..

Hi everyone! After four months of trying we are six weeks and four days pregnant (not that I'm counting!) and would be due 11th July. This is our first pregnancy and we are super excited by the prospect of starting our own family. I have to admit though I definitely have the jitters about how things will go and feel like I have no clue about this next stage of our life together...which leads me to here. Would love to have others to share this time with, particularly at the moment as we are not officially sharing with other until after the 12 weeks stage (although we have had people asking questions:/). Our families also live overseas so we feel a little alone at this exciting time!So look forward to following the forum and if there at any groups I can join would love to be involved!

Hi Fi1982,
Congrats. It is a very exciting time but yet so hard when you want to tell people but are waiting to get to the 12 week mark.... I have told a couple of close friends, but I'm terrible at keeping secrets, so we'll see how long it lasts lol. I'm 5w and 4d today, had my hcg levels checked and they were 19,500 which is good as they are going in the right direction    Lol my weekly blood tests are all I have to look forward to at the moment until my scan in another couple of weeks.... Seems so far away!

Oh my! I didn't even really think about work, I have only been at my work 5 weeks! And I wouldn't be coming back after I had the baby, oh dear that's really not going to look good! Hopefully I can have my scan before Xmas and then tell my boss before we all go on holiday for 3 week. Not sure how well it will go down though!

I just had my 6 week scan and got to see the baby's heartbeat! Only one baby in there and apparantly i'm 6 weeks 3 days - even though it's 6 weeks today since the first day of my LMP...is that because I ovulate early in my cycle?! So this means that my new due date is the 12th of July :) Any other 12th of July mums to be out there?
Anna, there is only me and my manager at work at this point as we are a new business just opening up and after all the hastle we have been through trying to find a third staff member I am worried about what she will think about the fact that she is going to have to replace me...

Hi July mums! I took a test first thing saturday morning after waiting anxiously all week, trying not to get myself all excited when my period was late. Only 3 months of trying, but I'm sure you all know what it's like to get your hopes up in that first week of missed period. So today I am 5 weeks and visited my GP, a friend told me to say that I didn't know how far along I'd be so I could get a dating scan- however that didn't seem to work. Can I go for a scan myself? Or do I get a midwife and discuss this with her? I feel like I'd like a 6 week scan to put my mind at ease! Very excited, and have told just a couple of close friends... which is nice because one has a 10 month old, nice to bounce ideas off others who have been in the same position.

I have had a wee bit of nausea, cramps and headaches which I hear are all normal - Due July 21st

YAY!

It looks like we will all have alot of company on our journey through to July! How exciting!

It is always scary telling work, but most people are really understanding of family situations, and businesses must allow you 10 days during your pregnancy to see midwives, docs etc, so they know they need to be a bit more lenient. I had a grandiose plan to not tell anyone about my first pregnancy til 12 weeks, but ended up telling my employer at 7 weeks since they asked why I was so green :) This time around we have told all our family and close friends, I figure if anything bad was to happen I would tell them anyway for support, so they may aswell get good news!

Who is going to find out the sex of bubs? First time we kept it a surprise til the birth, this time I'd quite like to find out, will wait and see at 20 weeks I guess :)

wow so many babies for July! Great to share this time with others! (particularly when we are still keeping it quiet) Lou Lou we won't be finding out the sex, or at least we don't think so right now... :)

I have a quandary if anyone would like to spare a thought... Mother in law suggested last night they arrive to stay with us a week before the baby is born and then leave three weeks later... Awkward. It's my first baby and I am a very private person. I would prefer to settle in with baby first and get through first couple of tricky weeks before having guests for a month. it's also a time I feel like a will need my Mum more than anyone. I just don't know quite how to diplomatically handle this one.... Our families are in oz so visits of some length are the only option

We're due on the 19th of July.
I was complaining to my partner a few days ago that I didn't really feel sick, so I didn't feel pregnant. Well, luckily (in a weird way) I'm getting spells of nausea now. So I feel like part of the club.

Has anyone heard much about "Due West, West Auckland Midwives"?
I've been emailing them with all sorts of questions and they seem to be lovely.

Fi1982 - my mum went to stay with my sister when her baby was born, and she did the same for my brother and his partner. They were both worried that it would be weird, but both said she was a life saver through the first few difficult days. That said, it all completely depends on how you feel about it, its most important that you are happy and relaxed.

Hi Miss J! Congrats on the baby news! I too have been worried about the lack of morning sickness and then bam! Today I am so green and wish I had not wished it upon myself... Have spent the whole day shovelling dry biscuits in my gob!

Agreed on the mother coming to stay with me, just to so sure about the mother in law :/ think there a things that will go on that are a little too personal...good luck with the midwife search :)

Hi Fi! could your husband have a word and perhaps say that you would love her to stay/help (so she feels needed/important) but perhaps not for that long? maybe 2 weeks after coming home? eek. Hard one! Or maybe even for a few days straight after...definately do what you feel is best, as its your time!! :)
Haha, agreed on the morning sickness scenario, when you feel fine you worry something is wrong, and when you feel crap you wish like anything u could feel better - !! haha, cant win.
Today has prob. been my ideal day, on and off nausea that I was able to handle ok until mid arvo, then have felt fine, just tired since. My sore boobs have not subsided since before i found out I was preg! ouch.
