Thanks for starting this thread nicolejoy. ^^

I am at 9 weeks 5 days and my due date is October 1st. This is my first baby but I don't feel the excitement yet. The whole incident still seems a bit surreal to me until last week, when I saw the fetus for the 3rd time and now it's becoming more like a human. Already booked Canossa.

Nausea 24/7 but no actual puking. Getting better when I entered 9 week. Constipation getting better now that I take digestive enzymes and probiotics. Boobs up one cup size.

Hi RidingC,

Welcome and thanks for your helpful tips! I guess I'll have to give up my favourite breakfast: baked beans on toast.

I had constipation problem too and read a book by Dr. Gowri Motha who recommended digestive enzymes by Udo's Choice. I bought a bottle at CitySuper and started taking them. Big improvement!! You may wanna give it a try.

Hi, I just found out I was pregnant as well. Due Oct 24. Went to doc yesterday and he did scan where we could see the heart beat. Very exciting. Congrats to all of you who have just become pregnant as well!

Just booked in with Dr Ho for our first visit very excited, bring on Monday.

Hi Everyone!

It's so nice to read all these messages from people with a similar due date! I guess I'll be one of the first to pop as my due date is 2nd Oct!!

Does anyone know when you'll get to see whether the baby's a boy or a girl?? Can you tell by the 12 week scan?

It was so good to read that I'm not the only one that can't wait to start buying maternity wear! My husband thinks I'm crazy when I'm not even showing yet! Trying hard to hold back until I'm past 12 weeks...

I went looking for maternity clothes yesterday but couldn't find much that I really liked. I haven't even seen ONE long skirt!! (I LIVE in knee length to long skirts!!) H&M has some nice tops though - but I didn't buy anything yet... No point when I still into everything I own!!

Oh - if you like - check out this thread here: http://www.geobaby.com/forum/get-know-each-t123281.html - I started it to try and keep track of who everyone is, when you're all due and all that kind of thing!!

PurpleFlower - I think you can tell the gender around weeks 16-22 or so... (just from memory)... but this is my first so I'm not 100% sure...
