    Advice for my friend

    Accuracy depends on how regular her periods are. The closer to her period date she is the more accurate the test will be. Very rarely are the tests wrong so that leaves two outcomes...either she isnt pregnant or her cycle was a bit off this month and she is but its too early to show up in a...

    Grrrr....MEN

    Not all men are like that. Im certainly not. And to be honest I dont understand the attitude of the men that ARE like that. My OH is pregnant with my child and that makes me very proud. I want to do everything I can to keep her and the child safe. If anything I go a bit too far to be honest...

    Suggestions for wind.. maybe TMI

    My pg OH has to drink sprite. It helps her nausea and helps her to bring the wind out. Different things for different ppl i guess.

    Just get your first tri out of the way and check on the issue of medical insurance. Other than that I dont see why not.

    But Im not having any cravings!!!

    OH will suddenly declare that she wants something hot. So this morning she wanted pizza for breakfast. She's gone right off ice cream and choc which she usually loves. And shes gone nuts for spinach.

    Sickness..I can't take it anymore :(

    Whatever you do dont stop drinking hun. You must not let yourself get dehydrated. My OH is constantly feeling sick...but thankfully has not chucked yet. Crystalised ginger works for her. Even the smell works.

    Im not allowed a 12 week scan :(

    actually the hospital are taking the piss (excuse the french). You are entitled to a scan at 12 weeks. Quote the NHS charter at them. 12 week scan is a NUCHAL scan and so is vital. A Nuchal scan cannot be performed earlier. Although I work as a massage therapist now in my previous life (ok so...

    So the journey begins... now what?

    I would check your travel insurance will cover the cost of you having to change your ticket date.....just in case. You dont want to be having to find all that out in a hurry. Best to be prepared. Flying is not dangerous despite common belief, however I wouldnt like to be having 'complications'...

    So the journey begins... now what?

    Travelling you say? Erm wow that has the possibility of complicating things, but it depends on how fast and how strong your symptoms come on. You didnt say where you are travelling so its hard to give you any advice specific to your situation. I would be very careful of the food and drink you...

    nesting?

    Erm this may seem a bizzare thing to say, but do women 'nest' during pregnancy. I'm asking cos Amy has starting hoarding food in the bedroom. And I'm not just talking ginger nuts for nausea either. She now has a pack of ginger nuts, Cadbury's choc fingers (family box), a few bags of mini...

    Well same here hun so dont worry about it. Amy moved to the UK from Poland in April. Her mum didnt want her to come here. She dislikes me intensely despite the fact that I have been nothing but nice to her. Amy and I are not married though we were planning to get married in December. Now...
