Grumpy - so the guidelines on prescribing diazepam in pregnancy are limited. There is little evidence (as you might expect) as most pregnant women don’t want to be involved in trials. Basically they aren’t sure - some studies show it can cause foetal abnormalities and others contradict that. You’re only going to be taking it once or twice so imagine would be perfectly fine and these studies relate more to heavy and long term users. It recommends using something like promethazine (anti-histamine) to use as a sedative instead if you want to err on the side of caution. Will be interesting to hear what your doctor says!
Hb that’s great! We can do our announcements together.. only a few weeks to go. Are you feeling a bit better today? Emotional wobble definitely allowed, I’ve been the same. How did the self referral to the midwife go? Sorry if I’ve missed an update, yesterday was madly busy.
Tigger how brilliant about the dancing, bet you had an amazing time. Let us know what the pregnancy yoga is like.
JB oh I did have lots of cuddles thank you! Being an auntie is amazing, and made me just want to spill the beans on our pregnancy but also this was my sister and baby Connie’s moment and didn’t want to detract from that. Well done on the weight loss!
Penguin sorry to hear about your blood test results but also glad you’re feeling reassured - it is so normal at the end of the day and could easily return next month. It has no bearing on your overall fertility at all.
Thats so cute buzz!
Yay Wilde how exciting - will you have your scan at the same time?
Been taking vitamin D here too for last few months :)
Lots of twinges in my womb today - bit painful, sort of pinching feeling? Still no other major symptoms though…
