So, do you reckon they've forgotten to give us a new thread, or they're just giving us one for this month??

Trini - i fell while on the pill so i was oblivious to most of it 'meaning anything' until i looked back on it when i found out. I found out when i was 5w5d, whilst extremely hungover... .

BUT... when i would have been just on 5w, i went to the doctor, complaining of the following; dizziness, nausea, headaches, feeling faint, & a cold that wouldn't go away (yes apparently that can be symptomatic of pregnancy too). Now the irony is, at this same appointment i told him i was sick of being on the pill as is totally retarded my body and was thinking about implanon - and not for one second did he twinge that SOME of those may have been pregnancy related. He told me, "you have a virus, it will pass...", yes it will pass... in about 18 years and nine months !

I also remember needing to pee all the time, period cramps & bloating, and i broke out in pimples bad, feeling like i was about fifteen again. I also had the mix of sore boobs and i grew two cup sizes out of nowhere .

The boobs thing got me thinking... & I finally twigged that night while i was... off my face... realising that the thought of KFC (like the best drunk food ever) was completely disgusting. Yes, the intoxicated mind works in weird and wonderful ways. Haha, then me and anthony had a crying/yelling/screaming match in the middle of swanston st, which i am very thankful that i do not remember .

Thats another thing I forgot, both times I fell pg I had the worst cold/flu ever for about 1 1/2 weeks. (The first time was at christmas and no chemists were open not that they would have given me anything if I had known)

Nina - i can't believe you're 36 weeks! I remember when our little tickers were like 23 wks :P Goddamn, you better not beat me. If i go over and you go early i will be so so so disappointed!
Good to hear head is down I never felt hiccups until he engaged properly, and now they're painful because he's been really low for ages i get the worst cervix pain dykwim?.

Hey LJ good to see you back, we wondered where you had disappeared to!!! Congrats on setting the date, that's really exciting We're hoping to get around to setting one by mid-year but all depends on how things go... I don't really want to wait any longer than is necessary (finance wise), but we think my sisters and jellybean as the 'little ones' would be soooo cute. So we might put it off for a while yet.

Kass - let us know when you do find out... i'm pretty sure you can test 12-15DPO but i'm not 100% sure. Like Ali said - you will feel different things, but then you will cope... We always find a way, that is just human nature. And Meg is right - there is so much support you can access/gain from BellyBelly from when times are tough or when you need advice or a whinge or a cry. I know my pregnancy would have been a lot harder without the BB girls and no matter what happens they/we're always around even if just to offer a hug! *hugs*

Sal - thanks, yes, weather in the low ranges again is good... the last three nights have been horrible the aircon doesnt circulate well enough to our bedroom and i havent bought a new pedestal fan yet so last night i tried sleeping on the couch and that was useless so then i just lay awake like a zombie for a few hours... was so thankful for the cool change i swear i just zonked when it came though...!

Don't worry Ash, according to the midwife I have a new EDD. It's now the 20th instead of the 18th. It's only 2 days but .......it's two EXTRA days!!!!!!
I always felt like I was going to go early. I suppose time will tell and Bean will choose his own birthday!

Thats another pregnancy symptom that I forgot about.....having to pee allot , and bloating like mad! I usually have a really flat tummy and when I became pregnant I had a noticeably round podge!
