PREGNANT! first trimester so far :D


Got my BFP on the 20th of january! though it was very faint. I was only just 4weeks. I should be due 30th of sept :D
  I took another test to a few days later hoping to see a comforting dark line but it was just as faint :/
I'm one of those people who has to test alot to keep checking because I dont feel pregnant! all my symptoms on the run up to bfp were the same ibs/af symptoms I get, so didnt think I'd get my bfp this month, so glad I have! I'm still tired but all my achy af'ness has stopped already. and my IBS has calmed down so dont know if that was pregnancy related. was the same with Gosling. I should've be glad that I didnt have lotsa bad symtoms so early.
  I knew I shouldnt get excited so early but I cant help it! We started trying in JUNE. That seems so long ago now! I phoned my midwife but she said I have to be refered to her by my surgery midewife, who will see me at 8weeks and then after the 12wk scan I can see my chosen midwife, seems so far off! I hate waiting >.<

  The week before my BFP I was having IBS and af symtoms and feeling very sorry for myself, I was craving and eating nuttella porridge every morning! I thought it was a chocy AF sorta craving, but obviously not! trying to eat more carefully now, first 2 weeks after bfp i was craving nuts nuts nuts! an a lil dried fruit, so not all bad. my second 2 weeks, im now in week 8, ive felt very thirsty, very hungry, and very nauseas, I hate the thought of food but I'm starving! driving me bonkers!

 I read my bump will be out sooner, not sure if I'm thrilled or dreading, I kinda wanted to keep quiet and im a terrible liar so hiding a bump at 12wks might be hard :/ lol!
already I have a bigger belly, I think alot of it is bloating but its like its all gathered behind my belly buttom if that makes sense, I can still do up all my jeans but sadly the lil layer of fat left from previous preg now lips over my jeans a bit, and all my tops are tight round belly, its the oddest , most unflattering bump I've ever seen, lol! It seems really high up for 8weeks, my last one started growing bladder height, till I couldnt do up jeans an then it grew up wards, this one is coming right out the middle of my belly! cant wait for it to round off. :D 

I still work at a breastfeeding cafe and people always ask me if we'll be having another baby, I normally say 'I hope so! we're ttc soon' now I'm pregnant though, I tried  saying it, like 'I hope so'and leave it at that, but at 6 weeks i cracked and started letting a few people who asked know.
Lots of people knewfound out we're trying but no one mentioned it, luckily they are a sensible bunch who know that asking 'are you pregnant yet?' every week might bet a person down, lol.

we only told our closest freinds for the first few weeks. I was going to tell family when they visit in a month or so.. but they knew we're ttc, and since I might have a bump by theni cracked and told them on the phone! still not going to Facebook it though, I'm tempted to post after my 8week appointment tomrrow, I'll have to see what the midwife says about miscarriage rates at this stage.

Oh, and I'm still nursing Gosling, more on that in another post ;P (soon hopefully!)
