*** April 2018 Mummies ***

Can't say I have but my folic acid tablets are as small as the pill and it's the first thing I do when I get up with my breakfast so maybe it washes down better.
I'm not taking any other vitamins
 
I'm taking pregnacare but there quite big tablets can gaurentee I'll either choke or feel like heaving with them but I'm not good at taking large tablets x
 
Awww glad scan went well kerryjo!
Just had my booking appointment,so glad hubby came home to watch DD as was in the an hour and a half!! Midwife is lovely which I'm glad about as had a horrid one last time. Bloods and everything done and next appointment with her is Halloween! Said I'll get scan date in the post. Dont have to be consultant led this time hurrah! Even tho bmi is just on the cut off she said if everything was fine last time she doesn't think I need to bother. Still mega sick just got home and hurled everywhere,have lost half a stone so far so bmi will pro ably be down in a few weeks anyways lol. Hope everyone else is getting on OK,melly did you have your appoi tment? Xx
 
Yes..just back from work. Had booking appt which went well. I will receive joint care with consultant due to being 42. Will need to see consultant at 16 weeks and again later in pregnancy. They said given age, they will induce me either on or before due date as increased risk of still birth in older mums. Also need to take low dose of asprin from 12 weeks for duration of pregnancy to to being at higher risk of pre clampsia...even though BP is good and always has been. Have book harmony scan for 10.30 this friday. It includes ultrasound so will post the pics. Get results between 5-10 days and will also know if its a boy or girl. So a very busy, productive morning...not sure how i feel yet about being under consultant...all feels a bit medical! On the upside, at least i will be monitored more.

They also gave me multivitamins to take for whole pregnancy. Apparently this is standard in scotland...it has vit C, D and more folic acid.

How is everyone else?
 
Hi all, so jealous of those scan pictures. I've booked a private scan for Monday next week when I'm 8 weeks to reassure me. My daughter is two and the week before last she turned to me and said mummy there baby in ur tummy, so she really knows something is going on. I hate this wait till tri 2. Just had two people one of them my sister just have a miscarriage so I'm really worrying, at least Monday should come round quick. How r u all feeling? I'm feeling completely shattered and no energy with nausea to top it all off, hoping these ease soon.
 
I had private early scan and it was so worth the money just to reassure us. We got to see heart beat and had photos. I hope yours goes ok. I can understand why you are a little anxious, given your sister having had a mc recently but try and stay posifive hun...not long now till your scan x
 
Thanks Melly, only need to wait till Monday so just a few days to go. I'm hoping it's a good sign that I still feel rubbish.
 
Morning
Haven't noticed any posts from cossie. Hope your ok xx
 
Hi, how is everyone doing today? I'm 8 weeks now and aside from tiredness my symptoms have all gone away. No more sore boobs or nausea. Feel a bit silly calling the mw to tell her I feel fine... should I be worried?

Muffinski, is your 8 week scan today? Good luck if it is! I cant wait for my 12 week scan, I need to phone for an appointment next week. I hope your scan goes well!

Mx
 
Good luck for scans today x

Mwg...you shouldnt worry about lack of symptoms...they are suppoaed to settle. I havent had ms at all. Just sore boobs which settled around week 9....enjoy feeling ok! X
 
All I can say is enjoy it. I still feel awful. I can't remember what it's like to feel well although I can put up with it as I have the day to myself.
 
Aimiee my daughter is 22 months and im amazed how much she seems to understabd. She keeps saying baby make mammy poorly bless her.

I've had a rare morning of not feeling too sick and it is bliss!! My nose is in overdrive now tho,we have two big dogs and the smell of dog just seems overbearing now I'm pregnant currently contemplating washing all the sofa covers and curtains in the living room,early nesting maybe lol xx
 
Thanks - just seemed a little strange that my worst symptoms stopped overnight. Definitely not complaining, am going to enjoy eating lunch! :)

It sounds like you have a very intuitive daughter Mrs cookie!

Sorry you are still feeling rubbish loula. Pleased everyone else feeling better. Your symptoms should be subsiding soon loula.

I have harmony test now at 9am friday as they had to bring it forward. Will get ultrasound too so hopefully will look more like a baby!
 
Don't be sorry. People have it worse then me. It's not like I can't eat or do anything.
How exciting another scan. Cannot wait for 2 weeks time x
 
Yep roll on 12 wk mark! Within 2 weeks i will know if boy or girl....all being well x
 
How do u feel about finding out the gender so early. I feel it breaks up the pregnancy half way through finding out at 20 weeks. I think I would feel there are no surprises until Labour day x
 
Im really excited about it. It would be good for our other two to know if theyre having baby brother or sister too. There will be plenty of other things to think about during pregnancy....at least this way we can really start to get excited.had surprises with DS and DD but feel different now its been 10 years since my last and being older now. Are you going to find out?

Also with dna testing under harmony scan its 99.9% accurate whereas guessing from ultrasound at 20 wks is less accurate x

Yes we are definitely finding out at 20 weeks then hopefully a well being scan later on. I can't go until Labour day without knowing
