Mort I'm so sorry to hear that. Hope you're getting lots of support and are okay. Sending lots of hugs.

Lyra Yes she is! I couldn't work out whether she was being serious or just after attention. Not even going to write what I think about her. Wonder if she's ever going to be embarrassed about what she's said.

Must go back and read thread now as I've missed loads! Pram I too have that something-used-my-mouth-as-a-toilet taste. I eat up get rid of it and it comes straight back. Anything fatty makes it worse but apples seem to help. Ergh. Sorry to bring it up again - just wanted to say I have a friend who's husband gambled - not with money but taking BIG risks at work, while she was pregnant with her 2nd child. Totally unforgivable. He was found out and lost his job. Hope you're finding some peace with it all somewhere.

Lyra what's that stuck up poisonous bitch said now? (Katie )

apprenticemamma · 20/08/2013 19:11

(off to Google/ daily fail site)

lumpylumps · 20/08/2013 19:30

mort so sorry, look after yourselves.

LyraSilvertongue · 20/08/2013 19:54

Apprentice, nothing in the news. I'm watching Four Weddings and her wedding was one of the four celebrity big days featured. If you're not familiar with the show, each bride attends each other's weddings and scores them and the winner wins a honeymoon (or charity cash for the celebs). KH had nothing nice to say about anybody or anything and was just bitchy and vile throughout. I was watching some videos of her ignorant, bigoted rants on Youtube last week and I just think she's a disgusting person. And some crazy person married her!

PramQueen1971 · 20/08/2013 19:56

Thanks, slippers. Apples are my slavation; they really do freshen up the palate and ease the tummy.

I like Katie Hopkins simply because she has this tremendous ability to wind women up everywhere. Why take her words as real? She plays a publicity game and she has to play high stakes. She has to be outrageous and inflammatory or she would wither away and die. What's she said now?

PramQueen1971 · 20/08/2013 19:56

*salvation!

liberuna · 20/08/2013 19:58

Great news gawjus. Ahh so cute. Can't wait for mine next week!

Lyra im also big time carnivore but can't go near it now, just fruit or bland bread or noodles. And yes what piece of work that woman is. My only consolation is that if she judges people that much, then she can't be a happy person with herself.

What is this 'booking in' that everyone is talking about?

Becca- I hope you start to feel better

Imeg - very jealous

apprenticemamma · 20/08/2013 19:59

Gah. I gathered she's publishing a book on names and class. She apparently thinks shes funny. Dire. Shock . Been watching news and impressed that breaking bad has made it on. That's my kinda telly Wink

rescoonetwothree · 20/08/2013 20:04

lib are you outside uk? Sorry if I missed you saying before!i haven't had my booking in yet but from what I gather its bloods / going through your medical info?

Was there anyone to join the Facebook - I've had a couple of people ask and I sent my info but they haven't joined and didn't know if its just me missing things?!

PramQueen1971 · 20/08/2013 20:09

Has Jolleigh joined faceache? She seems a good egg, that one.

LyraSilvertongue · 20/08/2013 20:11

Booking in is pretty much form filling, blood and wee tests, medical history etc. It's to get you booked into the system of the hospital you choose to have your baby at. I asked the midwife for a sneaky listen to the heartbeat if she had a doppler handy, which was lovely.

Apprentice, did you see KH's rant about children named Tyler and the like on This Morning? I watched it on YT. Holly Willoughby eventually loses patience with her and she seems most put out Grin

LyraSilvertongue · 20/08/2013 20:12

Breaking Bad has made it on what? I'm up to season four on Netflix. I agree it's amazing telly.

OwlinaTree · 20/08/2013 20:12

Congrats gawjus, great news!

Beccadugs · 20/08/2013 20:25

thanks all. The brown spotting has increased, and I feel quite heavy in my womb area. It's also quite stringy. Have been to the GP who did a swab, and has suggested ringing the EPU again in the morning. I will report back if there is any news.

Feeling pretty fed up as I have been to hospital twice with morning sickness, and now having this which I am feeling very pessimistic about. Somehow it seems really really unfair. Sad

Jolleigh · 20/08/2013 20:35

Thanks Pram Smile - not gone looking for the group on there yet. What's the name of it?

PramQueen1971 · 20/08/2013 20:36

Oh, Becca, I wish I could come round and sit with you. Please force the issue tomorrow at EPU so they will agree to a scan. I will pray for you xx

LyraSilvertongue · 20/08/2013 20:39

Becca, sorry its not better news. Best of luck for tomorrow. Don't let them fob you off.

MotorcycleMama · 20/08/2013 20:40

Poor you becca. If it is any consolation, I had a lot to brown spotting with heavy period type pain. EPU brought me in for a scan (9 weeks) and all was fine. Basically there is a lot of activity going on at this stage of pregnancy and it can cause aching and light bleeding. Try get EPU to do you a scan. Hope all is ok.

gawjus congrats on your scan - you must be feeling relieved. You said something about 1.1mm.. Did you mean 1.1 cm, or were you not talking about crown rump length? Confused

Who the fuck is Katie Hopkins apart from prams role model?

Jolleigh · 20/08/2013 20:42

Becca, so sorry to hear what you're going through. Get pushy tomorrow with them. Sending all my love Thanks

apprenticemamma · 20/08/2013 20:45

Lyra breaking bad as news on c4 news as the biggest tv series since the sopranos. Interviewing Vince Gilligan the creator ...I'm obsessed. And after the beeny I'm off to watch the latest episode. Grin

LyraSilvertongue · 20/08/2013 20:46

This is one of her rants. Apparently she chooses her children's friends based on their names.

liberuna · 20/08/2013 20:46

Thanks Grey and Lyra.

Londoner born and bred. But this is my first pg and first scan isn't till next week so still getting used to terminology.

And it doesn't help I haven't told anyone yet so kind of in the dark which is why im talking to you lovelies.

Honestly, so happy to talk and listen to you all here Grin

LyraSilvertongue · 20/08/2013 20:48

Why is it news? Are they finally going to start showing it here? Are you fully up to date? I have Breaking Bad marathons from time to time but I still haven't caught up.

justmuddlingthroughit · 20/08/2013 20:49

So very sorry to hear mort's news Sad.

beccadugs, I'm glad your GP is taking seriously at least; the epu can't fob you off after your doctor has recommended you call them, can they?? I do hope you get seen tomorrow; making you wait a week when you feel so awful is just not on.

Congrats to those with happy scan news!

I have my booking in appointment on Thursday, and STILL haven't thought about where I want to give birth. I really must get my expanding arse in gear; how easy is it to change your mind after the booking in appointment? It just seems such a long way away, to be making that decision already!
