Lurker in

YAY MIMPOH!!    

Lurker out

oh no KM are you ok? That is really sad, maybe it is still too early?? I do hope the dr can shed some light for you.   fingers x'd ok

KM - temps are a bit unreliable. I temped with my last pregnancy and they dropped dramatically even after I got my BFP and I have a gorgeous wee boy asleep in the next room. Temps aren't the be all and end all. Try not to worry yourself.

I am also a serial POASer. I did my last test this morning. They've been doubling in strength so I'm pretty confident. This mornings line was as dark as the control line.

I'm not using my previous MW cause she's too far away (over an hours drive). We moved since our last baby. If I could I'd use her again in a heartbeat.

Felt a little bit nauseous this morning but the only real sign I'm pregnant is the constant peeing and the lovely warm fuzzy feeling I get when I think about it. LOL. Oh and my excessive hunger!

LR - I am struggling with food cause I am still BFing DS, plus he's allergic to dairy so no dairy for me. Last pregnancy when I had MS all I could eat was fruit and iceblocks for 8 weeks so I am not sure at all how I am going to cope if the same happens this time. I don't want to wean DS off but I may have to if MS hits me hard again.

I rang that MW again, endured her long message and left her a message to call me back. I've still heard nothing so I am most unimpressed.
DP and I had a joke going last night about her message with the whole "I repeat" thing. We were sitting at the table trying to eat dinner falling about laughing going "You're 8cm dilated, I repeat, you're 8cm dilated" and "Push, I repeat, PUSH!"
Oh can you imagine it!!!

KM

RTT, that must be hard with no dairy. I think the trickiest thing for me is going to be Xmas day because we are going out for a buffet lunch. I'm guessing most things are going to have gluten or I am going to be worried about how hot everything is and whether I should eat it or not!

LR - in all honesty, you're more likely to get Listeria from an Air Conditioning unit that you are from food. I don't wanna sound blahzay about the whole thing but the whole "don't eat this, don't eat that" that they've started with pregnancy is so OTT.
My last pregnancy I avoided seafood and that was it. I asked for any deli meats to be freshly cut for me and sushi to be freshly made. I'm not sure about buffet food cause you'll wanna know how long it's been sitting there and stuff, but at the end of the day, you're no more likely to get food poisoning or Listeria when pregnant than you are when not pregnant. It's just that if you do get it (which is unlikely) the consequences can be worse.
Perhaps reconsider the buffet if you're worried. At least with an A Le Carte Menu you can pick and choose and you know exactly what you're getting and it's going to be freshly made.

I'm not sure what we're doing for Xmas. Should ask DP, not that he'll know either. ROFL. We've got DS's first birthday in a few weeks so we're more focused on that.

Yeah I know what you mean RTT about being OTT but I plan on being careful in the first trimester and then easing off a bit after that. I'd hate to think that something I ate caused a problem.

KM, I'm pretty sure you can eat ham as long as it is hot but you're not meant to eat leftovers. The problem with the buffet is that we have already paid for it, we booked before I found out I was UTD I'll be telling the family before then anyway so I won't have to worry about looking odd when I'm only drinking water (at $75 per head)

Spotting has started....

KM, hang in there, it might not come to anything!

what the difference between implantation bleeding and 'breakthrough bleeding'??

Luckily I have had no more brown blood or anything today am still taking it easy but actually feeling not too bad, have only thrown up once this morning, been eating heaps and am about to have a nap. Looking forward to my first MW appointment on Monday. The next month of so will fly by because of the holidays woohooooo bring on the bump!

Whoops, double post.
