Hello Gems, first of all congratulations and hope it all goes as smoothly as possible for you.....all pregnancies are different and I have watched my Daughter and two Daughters in Law recently go through their pregnancies.....

My Daughter and one DiL had all the morning sickness, bloating......and my other DiL did not have any symptoms at all, and at the final stage only looked about 6 months.....

.....me, I did not know because I thought we couldn't have any children and had two lovely adopted children who we loved to bits, and were quite content with out little family.......but I started to get bad backache and was popping paracetemol, so I went to the docs who said to do a pregnancy test.....and the result was 30 years old yesterday.....lol

....before I got the result of the test I felt very faint, and nearly fainted a couple of times, and of course te bad backache......pregnancy easy and I worked at night until 7 1/2 months, over Christmas and then a textbook birth taking all of 6 hours......

.....as I say they are all different and enjoy your time.....x

I cried at adverts when pregnant, was pregnant with 2nd when titanic was out and didn't dare watch it.

Unfortunately I have never been blessed - but my sister has had two children.

The most bizaare craving she had (well I thought) was raw pototoes - she could not get enough of them with her second one. The first one was icelollies.

I was told my mother craved tomatoes.

I wish you all the very best and you must keep us all informed of your progress.

Good Luck Gems,,,,hope it all goes well,,,,,,,,,,,,,

this will sound really odd (well thats me all over) with Tiddler even though I wasnt planning on getting pregnant the night she was conceived I had what I can only explain as a pop just after a certain event didnt have it with the other 2 and never had it again.

No wonder she is so weird lol

I just want to thank everyone for their kind wishes! I will def keep you all updated!
I hope I can bring you good news!

well im definately hormonal, one way or the other!
I cried my way through dancing on ice and wild at heart!

I had a metal taste too in my mouth like I had been sucking a 5p piece.
Also couldn't lie on my front watching TV on the rug.
Craved juicy dark things !!!!!! Plums, black grapes and vimto !
And with the third one, the sister on the ward I worked on told me I was pregnant 11 days before I was due to start, when I lost half my vision (all on the left side was dark grey).

Hope all goes well for you.

this is making me broody lol

Craved tomatoes, used to take a bag with me to the pictures. I also had an excess of saliva and had to keep swallowing. Went to bed for 4 days every month because I saw a period for the first 5 months. Had abet on with my GP that I was pregnant and he wouldnt believe me. That was 1958, so no test were available to the home user. Jean

I know i think i will struggle to last the day tomorrow! yes it will be (finger crossed) be my first!!!

If you get nausea I would recommend the anti sickness travel bands, they won't cure it altogether but should help reduce it.
Good luck.
I don't know how you can stand to wait til the end of the week tho! Will it be your 1st?

My SIL used to eat the bath sponges too!

Cravings, with
1st: Salty crisps (licked the salt off), plain white bread, mashed potatoes. Completely went off yoghurts as they tasted off to me, though not to anyone else.
2nd Chocolate, cola, sasperilla, dandylion and burdoch. Also needed sports biscuits to help with nausea and once had a full panic in Asda as they'd run out.
3rd, fruit especially fruit salad tubs form Marks and spencers.

my boob are so sore, just coming down the stairs makes my eyes water, I have to hold em! lol

apart from missing the monthly I was very tired and started feeling very sicky this started in the evenings at only a week late then quickly went to morning sickness had very sore boobs too
I went off tea as well couldnt even make a pot as the smell made me heave

With 2nd and 3rd children Very very tired, especially with 3rd one. Not with 1st child tho as I was so much younger! lol

now cravings

banana - never eaten them since!

natural bath sponge !!!!
