The extra 4 bra cup sizes and the nausea help it seem real so I'm bizarrely grateful for these discomforts! It was our first try so I'm still a bit in shock - at the same time, it's been 6 years since we got married and the clucky hormones kicked in around then so it feels like it's been a very long wait! Hey there I just found out that I too am having my first as well. I found out on Thursday just been. Im due 13 Dec (or there abouts) It was our 2nd month of trying. When I got that first positive HPT I didnt quite believe it so had to go back and do another one just to make sure. Have to even expalin to DP that yes two line meant a BFP I so cant wait til the 12 week scan. Calling the docs tomorrow to make an appointment to make sure everything okay and to give me some information on what I need to do an know... Its all so surreal

Ha ha you're not the only one who had to do multiple tests...I did one a couple of days too early because the suspense was killing me and of course it was negative, then spent days convincing myself it won't happen but I'll wait til Sunday at least, I'll get my period by then probably and I'll know...but no period and got a VERY faint positive on Sunday morning, exactly 4 weeks since my last period. It was a bit of a let-down actually, because hubby didn't believe the line was there! So much for "big fat positive"! Ha ha.

So then I did one the next day, bit darker, next day darker again...did one a couple of days later before my dr appointment - quite obvious - and again a couple of days later when I met my midwife (dr said organise one quick so I did, while still struggling to believe it was real) - VERY dark line! So then I believed it! (and wasted about $30 at least) Got my friend in the UK to verify the lines via Skype! We helped her freeze her verucas over Skype so it seemed fair enough to, as she put it, get her to inspect my "pee sticks"!

How I wish I needed a dating scan to make sure it's real and growing! I didn't quite realise until AFTER the BFP that the previous two weeks was going to seem like a short wait compared to the next 8 or so waiting for a scan!

Hi there

sorry I have replied sooner. For some reason it wasnt letting me reply to any posts or post in any forums

I have had a couple of symptoms...just went I eat certains foods I start to feel a bit sickly. Getting tired easily. but thats about it

Yes so happy it only took us a couple of months of trying. We are very fortunate

I didnt believe it at first when I did my first POAS (just got those small POAS off the internet) so much so that I went out and bought a First Responce test and did another one. Haha DP still doesnt thinkits really and so I have booked myself in to see the doctor (cant get in til the 24th though as shes away) he wants me to get a second opinion and her to confirm its real...I think he's in shock that it happened so quickly. god love him

DF and I went to Mothercare at Sylvia Park yesterday to look at all the cute baby things. Thanks God they have layby! I won't be buying anything until after 3 months though, just in case!

Nah, newborn nappies are unisex (as are cloth if you decide to go that way). Buy LOTS of them!

Yup definitely stock up on new born nappies - just don't go to crazy in case you have a whopper baby who gets to big before they get a chance to use them

I also can't wait for the 12 week scan, its my fave scan of all of them I got a dvd of DDs 12 week scan, its so crazy watching it thinking she was to teeny once upon a time! (and now she's a crazy toddler tearing apart my house!)

Is there a FB group with all you lovely ladies?

I've not been too bad with MS this time so far. I've had a few days of feeling yuck but not everyday. With DD I felt sooooo sick ALL the time! I guess I'm only 5 weeks though, plenty of time yet!

oh okay cool
No I was just wondering if anyone had yet or not.
Might look at doing one a little later on once we are all well into our 1st Trimester

So where is everyone from etc...what are your stories?

Im 33 from Auckland NZ, DP and I have been together almost 3 years now. It was our 2nd month of TTC. DP is 31. This is our first child and its all a bit surreal.
DP still doesnt think its real yet until we go for our first scan. which is why I want these next few weeks to just hurry the heck up :)

We jsut moved house 2 weeks ago as well so 2012 so far has been a great year for us. FX it stays that way and baby # 1 for us is happy and healthy little bubba

I cant believe we are having a Xmas Baby as well..I mean what an awesomoe Xmas Present :)

Has anyone thought of names for their baby yet?

We have middle names sorted...just not first names...they're so hard to choose cos allt he ones I do like other friends have children with that name, its also really hard at the moment as well cos my SIL is preggers with her 3rd shes 13 weeks doesnt know that we are pregnant yet (we've only told my sister) so I need to find a way of asking what names they are thinking of so I can eliminate them from my list early without any disapointment

Haha DP and I had names picked out before we even knew I was pregnant. Admittedly, we weren't really thinking of getting pregnant until mid 2013 but what happens happens

If I have a girl she will be called Ruby-Ann Maria and if I have a boy he will be called Wade Kenneth.

I already have 3 children. My eldest is 8, the next is 5 and the bubba is 2. Two boys and a girl!

I live in Auckland.

Gosh I'm soooo tired right now.....still another 2 hours and 40 mins of work left!
