Anybody else pregnant with their first baby?
Hi girls, just wondering, it seems that everybody is having their second or third babies. Is anybody pregnant with the first, like me? And to ladies having children already, is the second (third) pregnancy different than the first? I'm not asking about symptoms as such, just in general - I can't seem to get over the fact that I'm actually able to produce a little being in my belly, it's so amazing and scary at the same time! xx

Hello, Yes this is my first! very exciting but scary at the same time
I get what your saying about us being able to produce a little being in our belly, Sometimes I don't believe that I have a baby in my belly kicking me!! 
How has your first 6 weeks been? 'any sickness/cravings?' I cant stand the smell or thought or chicken... very odd... I loved it before I was pregnant!
When is your bubby due? x
This is my first too
I still can't believe there is a baby in my belly!!! Although the sickness is a big reminder that things are different now lol...
I have gone off chicken too Thea, yuk! Struggling with so many foods i used to love at the moment, can't wait to for it to all calm down (hopefully ha!)
x x
p.s. hope you dont mind me popping into due in jan, i'm due nye but feel so far behind everyone else in due in december! lol!
I don't know if I was making myself clear before. I mean, every pregnancy is special, but the first one must be extra-special, because that miracle is happening for the first time and it's all so new, do you know what I mean?
Hi Thea27, congrats on your pregnancy! How far along are you? I'm 7 weeks tomorrow, due date is for now Jan 7th. It's funny how you're off chicken
I don't have any ms or cravings, really (well, I always have food cravings so pregnancy didn't change much;). My boobs are sore and I'm tired all the time - that's all my symptoms for now. Though now that I'm writing this post, I feel like green olives, somebody give me olives!
xx
Great to see you again MrsAsh, of course I don't mind, how could I? Anyway, you can still give birth to your baby in Jan! I'm a little jelaous of your sickness (can't believe I'm writing that lol), it's a definite reminder
It's all such a miracle, I'm still in awe that we conceived another life just like that! How beautiful is that? Take care xxx
Hi Baby bear, congrats on your BFP
Mine too hasn't sunk in yet although it's 7 weeks now, it's absolutely unbelievable
Good luck with your doc's appointment xxxx
Hi girls!
This is baby no.2 for me, and the first time i was so excited as it was all new,but there was always the fear of the unknown,and was thinking things like- ''will everything be ok?'',''will it hurt?''etc etc.
Am even more excited this time as i know whats coming! Well sort of- i never gave birth naturally first time round, after 26 hours of labour, ds began to get distressed, i was zombied out on pethidine-which i would never have again!!!!,and ended up going for an emergency c-section and being put to sleep while he was delivered!!!.It was all so sad, but i was just happy he was delivered safe! So it will be sort of new to me the whole labour thing!!!
It is amazing what you body can do, to grow a little one is amazing!!
.
Thea27, i went off chicken with my ds, the thought of it now makes me wanna barf!! lol.X
I am too gonna enjoy this pregnancy as i know it will be my last, we only plan on having 2!
Take care everyone!

jollyJoey it's over first baby too I'm so excited and I still can't believe I'm pregnant!! I'm six weeks today I'll be having an early scan next Monday so I'm hoping it will start to feel more real then x
Hi ladies..this is my first too..due on Jan 22nd so I am 6weeks today!!
It all came as a bit of a shock as it happened rather quickly, we have told my partners family as we saw them for a family birthday and they were overjoyed..phew!! We are telling my parents this weekend - I'm almost 35 so why do I feel so nervous about telling them!!! As for symptoms, I am feeling really tired and my boobs are so painful. I have had a couple of waves of nausea but has only lasted a few mins. I am having a real problem with food at the mo, my appetite is non existant but I'm craving fruit. Of course I'm thinking of baby and eating properly but its such a struggle
I'm not sure if anyone else is feeling like I am but I'm struggling to feel excited, this maybe due to the fact that I haven't told my family yet so I feel like I'm keeping this huge secret. I'm also a freelancer - I work as an actress, childrens's entertainer and temp in TV so having a real panic about future financial problems - I just wish I could start to enjoy my early pregnancy rather than worry, its driving me mad!!
Hope everyone is having a good day xxx
This time is totally different, I'm really relaxed and laid back, haven't even contacted the doctor yet. We haven't told anyone yet and I'm really enjoying the secret! Like the other second timers I'm enjoying every minute of it as I know I probably won't ever be pregnant again and also once the baby comes it's back to those dreaded sleepless nights!!

Hi Missy, your not alone. Im 30 and this is my first at 6 weeks. We planned this little bundle and thought I would be more excited but all I got was waves of panic time to time and worries. My partner is great and over the moon but dont feel alone I cant seem to feel excited yet either. Im hoping our first scan will make it hit home (were paying for a private).
I think the extreme tiredness Im going through is making me feel this way. Luckily no sickness or any other symptoms but I must yawn about 100 times a day even after 10 hours sleep!
Hope it all seems real and happy times coming for you soon. xx
Missy77 and littleLisa, congratulations
Thanks for your posts girls
Some days I feel very excited, some days not so much, I guess it's just natural. Some days I wake up and need a few moments to realise I'm pregnant;) This will probably change when I'll wake up because of the baby kicking in my huge belly lol, no way to forget then! Plus, the scan really makes it real - I've had mine and finally believe there's a baby there

First for us too.
Little beans Mummy, we are due a day apart! Hope you are feeling better.
JollyJoey - I know what you mean. This morning it took me a while to realise. Turned over and hubby was reading 'what to expect when you are expecting'!
Little Lisa, I am 32 this year. I have triedness which is weird, cos it normally takes me a good time and a late night to get even a yawn!
Missy - we haven't told anyone yet...not sure when to do it....any advice?
Loopy, nice to see you on here, do you miss the spring us some BFPs? page?
Lovley we must keep in touch claire531 . .. Me and my partner havent told anyone as such . only my side of the family on a need to know basis but my partner wants to wait till the twelve week scan . I dont blame him to be honest as we miscarried this time last year , its took us almost a year to conceive again
. I have been feeling really exhausted has you or anyone felt the same ? Im six weeks tomorrow .cant wait . I also have alot of wind inside me which is making very unconfortable 
.
Littlebeans mummy - I seem to have a lot of wind too! We have decided to not tell anyone until the 12 week scan...we have friends who did after 2 weeks! Not for us I am afraid!
I am feeling really tired too, even my mum said I sounded tired on the phone! Seem to be getting a good amount of sleep, an afternoon nap seems to be helping,
Not looking forward to being back at work
well some good news got my blood results back today and my hormone levels are increasing excellently and we have a scan on the 11th june to see the heartbeat , so excited fingers cross . i started taking folic acid the last two days and starting to feel less tired so think its helping
. Yeah we are waiting for the twelve week scan as last time round we decided to tell everyone immediatly but we ended up loosing our little angel so this time is all going to be done better 
And we have a scan tomorrow, had a bit of bleeding, so have an appointment at the epu tomorrow first thing.
Littlebeans mummy - good news about the folic acid : )
Jollyjoey - how are you doing?
Loopy - how are you doing too?
LittleLisa - I am 31, turning 32 this year, so you are not the eldest : )
GL with your scans Little beans Mummy and Claire! xxx Keep us updated and post the pictures
I have my scan, bloods etc tomorrow
