Yep, it's perfectly fine to take folic acid that you've bought - in fact, when I mentioned to my Dr that we were going to ttc, back in October, she told me to start taking folic acid then - so I did and then didn't fall pg until January, and it's not done me any harm. At my booking appointment...

Yep, I'm with you on the ice front! For me it has to be ice lollies rather than ice cubes though - I like those 100% juice ones as they're so refreshing. I could easily eat a whole pack of them in one sitting! :)

Yes - we'll be finding out at the 20 week scan, if we can! We haven't got any preference either way, but for some reason I really think it's a girl. Hubby thinks it's a boy - but I think that's because he's the oldest out of his siblings, and I have one older brother so he thinks that that's the...

I've just heard my baby's heartbeat for the first time - how exciting! :D It definitely sounds like a very loud galloping horse! We'll be finding out when the time comes, but that's a way away yet!

So sorry to hear this, Franky :hug: :hug:

Hi :wave: I'm a first time mum-to-be too....and still haven't got used to that thought! It still doesn't seem that real to me at the moment (even though I've had symptoms) - I think as soon as I've had my scan in 2 weeks then it'll hit me! All very exciting though when you think about it! My...

Welcome and congratulations :cheer: I had the same dilemma as you as I'm a bridesmaid at my brother's wedding in July when I'll be 7 months gone! They hadn't ordered the dresses, but I told them anyway (but then again, he is my bro so I probably would have done anyway). I was worried that my...

....finally - I've been watching out for the postie for the last week! So we'll get to see our little bean again on 4th March at 9.20am! We had an early scan at 7 weeks and all was well then, but that feels like it was so long ago, and now that my sickness has almost completely disappeared, I'm...

Quite often on ebay cheapies you only get a faint line - I certainly did - even when I got a positive on a digi, the ebay cheapie was still only just showing a line. But, as the others have said, a line is a line :cheer: If you really want to make doubly sure, then get yourself a clearblue...

Yay - congratulations! Hope you have a healthy and happy 9 months :hug:

You poor thing - I'm glad that the signs are good so far today though. Will keep my fingers crossed for you that it stays away :hug:

Yay - congrats! Lovely clear picture :dance:

Yep, I've been tired all the way through, but this week has definitely been the worst...so far! It's terrible, at meetings at work all I can think about is how I'd love to have a nap :lol:

Sorry - I'm gatecrashing...but I got my first positive on an ebay strip...but didn't quite believe it! I think they're fine for like preliminary testing, but I used a FR and then a digi to make sure. That's what I suggest you do too, that way you'll know for sure. Your hormone levels should be...

Good luck and see you soon :wave:
