Hi Girls,

So as you see by the title i m taking one step at a time. I was going to wait till i was 12 weeks like alot of girls but i ve found with this website that it really helps sometimes when you have questions to note them down cos you get alot of support and great answers. So i thought lets go, i m miss my other journal and have just be browsing in the background for a few weeks.

Firstly some background... i know that alot of women are broody very young and very maternal ( i am still young 26 but i mean young teen ).

But i must say i wasn t actually really maternal, that was my other sister, she was excellent with Children. But i was always looking to my career, i lived in Mallorca so it was very fun, i was a dancer so a baby would have altered that ideal.

That all changed coming up two year when i met my gorg husband... he was on vacation in Mallorca... and i must say that after a week of knowing i had this feeling in my stomach that he was going to take me away from the island i loved so much, as he didn t come from Mallorca.

But i must say i was mixed with nerves and excitement this was the first time i would have give anything up for a man ... so it was big step in itself.

But after almost two years, i must say that he fills a space in my heart that was empty before and for the first time i wanted a baby. He is very kiddie orientated so he was the calmer one when deciding to have a baby.

So no more sun , no more dancing but a whole different sense of happiness.

We were pleased last October when we found out i was excepting but a scan showed that i had a missed MC ..... that was difficult, the look on my oh face i will forget... his words when we came out of the scan was ... " i m really f""""ked up now.

But we got through it and stayed really positive , i think after the shock its then you realise alot of women go through this.

So we decided to give my body a rest , have a holiday and well on my second month of trying again ..... i got my

So the thing that is different this time .... Paranoia..... Worrying if everything is o.k.

When i first found out i just wanted spicy food and still do, more than i do usually.

My symptoms so far... other than been exhausted.... my breasts have got bigger. My hayfever is double bad , teeth and gums are hurting me big time.

Other than that i m only get waves of nausea.....

So i am 6 weeks and 2 days , i have a early scan booked in for a weeks time. I need that reassurance.

I have only told my mother and father, and my sister and they are sworn tp secrecy.(don t think that is spelt correct )

I m eating really good, been taking Folic acid and other vitamins since the MC, so i m trying to do everything good to ensure my little thing is growing well and of course i m praying... let this be my turn to have my bum growing all good and healthy.

O.k i think that is a really long start, so i m off to browse.

Welcome to the journals.

6 weeks and 5 days

Today i m off sick... quite guilty about that after my recent promotion but the workload is so massive that i just needed a breather today.

You know , just do the housework slowly, have a lovely relaxing bath and just restore some of my energy levels.

Well i think my sickness has started this week, i have been feeling nauseas but nothin major . But last night after taking a rather big drink of fresh orange juice.. it just wouldn t settle in my tummy and then i was full blown vomitting.

Well i must ask is it normal to be bloated so early? i m a size 8 and none of my buttons will do up on my jeans...... not complaining though ... as long as my little thing is growing healthy.

Got my early scan next tuesday , i don t know if to make it a week later cos i m afraid to do it too early

You should be able to see something when you go for your scan. If you can't get a clear image of your baby, you should at least be able to see it's heart beat. I have an early scan next friday (I'll be 6+4) so I'm hoping to at least see a heart beat! Wishing you all the best!

carmen

i m going to change it i think, i m going to bite the bullet, next week when its my scan i'll be 7+ 2 , so i think another week will take me to 8+2....

i just don t know.

Faerie

Hi Carmen, just wanted to drop by and see how your pregnancy's treating you! Sorry you're feeling sick, hope that goes soon.
We're going on holiday to Mallorca 28 June, to Colonia Sant Jordi :-)

carmen

Hi Faerie,

Not feeling to bad and you just give me a little sad feeling when you mentioned Mallorca, don t feel guilty though

Colonia Sant Jordi is lovely , more quiet but its near a lovely beach called Es Trenc which is part nudist

And if you wanting one night some where abit more busy ... you have Arenal which is a drive away.....

Hope you have a lovely time in my home island

Faerie

We luuurve Mallorca! Even considered buying there. Es Trenc is beautiful.. and full of naked Germans! Last time we were there I decided to express my artistic side by making a sand model of a naked German, was rather good if I say so myself but when I came back from my dip in the sea someone had squished it, ooops! Thanks for the tip on Arenal, not been there before. Sorry to make you miss it, but you're very lucky to be from such a beautiful place!!

carmen

Faerie,

I totally agree with you. Mallorca is such a beatiful island ..... and most probally at some point me and my OH will go back there.

I miss it so so much and dream alot about it.

I think if everything is o.k with the little one, i might head there in August.

Hope you have a fantastic time over there.

7 + 2 today

And i m off work again

I feel so so bad , but i m literally falling asleep by 12pm , plus my allergies are just so bad , the doctor give me some nasal spray but said i wasnt allowed any eye drops , and that my big irratation now so red and itchy.

I m hoping that this is going to stop soon, cos alreay i ve had three days off and i do honestly feel really guilty.

When i m at work , i m wanting and having to do so much, but really don t have the energy.

Whta makes it worse, it is red hot today over here, so when i called my oh to tell him i was free, i was on the balcony with a cup of tea and he was like .......mmm very nice .

Well the pg symptons , i m hot all the time , and my nausea is in full swing now and this week i ve noticed that one minute i have a loss of appetite and then i am waking up at 5 am and eating cos i m so hungry.

I haven t actually vomitted only the once or twice but i keep running to the toilet thinking it.

I was due to have my scan today but i changed it for Thursday and my oh said that with me being off today i should have went..

Now i m wishing that i did but hety whats two more days.
