My third
Scan because I've not had af since
June 30th and also had bleeding!

I'll hopefully be having my first in.... approximately 3 weeks

Hi Buddha welcome.

How are you feeling? A big move and early pregnancy must be hard work. Are you moving for work?

I think that the paranoia is par for the course in the first trimester - it certainly seems to be a theme on the ante-natal boards. I have been very fortunate not to have experienced mc but still feel paranoid from time to time.

thistle you have a blueberry too!

May I jojn you? 4 + 5

So sorry to hear the sad news from allypally....keeping .fx for successful pg next time XX

Welcome cupcake, random, Buddha and onefunkymama what an influx of new maybies hurrah !

Boogies , edd buddies, brillia.nt, will be interesting to see if our symptoms kick in at a similar time!

Good luck with scan tomorrow thistle, looking forward to hearing how it goes!

Night all

6 + 4

Welcome buddha and onefunkymama and congratulations

Yes everyone is worried i seen little bean twice seen a heart beat and know it got passed an infection that has swollen my ovary, a cyst which burst when past, so i know its a little fighter, still worry though check every time i go to the loo, i think the worry is all part of being a mother

Oh and whats worse than painfull boob? a painfull and itchy boob, because there growing again cant itch it to painfull ahhh hehehe

Let us know how scans go Thistle and PFJ
Watch out for scams PFJ

Night all have a great week

The week by week thing is good
but i could give birth to a Watermelon or Pumkin there HUGE brought tears to my eyes

Good morning all im 6+6 today yay have a good day

5+4 today, so desperate for my scan (had to pay for it) on the 13th October. I never truly believe I am pregnant until I see with my own eyes as I hardly suffer any symptoms. Except major heartburn later on as my babies always have a head full of hair!
How are we all doimg this am ladies?

I'm. A big bag of nerves :-(

Good luck thistle, I have an early one today too...

Good luck thistle and ThePFJ. Hope you return with super sticky bean news

My boyfriend starts uni today. He's so nervous, he's been out of education for a few years. I feel like a nervous mum on the kid's first day of school

Whereas I get another week in bed before lectures start

morning all. i actually managed to get up without feeling sick today. lets see how long it is before i crawl hopelessly back into bed :( im 6+3 today :)

good luck with everyons scans today..

Morning sickness already kicked in so much for a peaceful day.

8+6

Am back to work today :( I'm going to need to tell them soon!! Oh the joys.... How did it go with telling work/ colleagues etc?

morning! good luck from me as well for Thistle and ThePFJ, what time are your appointments?

7 weeks for me today, little pea has become a blueberry.

Ooh enjoy your week in bed Moomin, I'm very jealous :) And Lola I'll keep my fx you get al least a nice non-sicky morning.

Good morning everyone :)

Welcome to all the new Maybies! And congrats!

Best of luck to those who are having scans today :)

7 weeks today :)

It's not really a week in bed I suppose... but I'll make the most of it got to go into uni and talk to student services, student finance and the accommodation team about where we're going to live next year... if they can't help, it'll be a private rent job as it seems pretty impossible to get a council house these days

Also need to find out if we're eligible for child tax credits (pretty sure we aren't seeing as we don't pay tax as students), which then means we don't qualify for the Healthy Start vouchers either. So far pregnancy itself has been the easy part, it's the legal/social shenanigans I don't understand!

Moomin in some ways private rent seems like a better option, you can get some great help with the rent payments but still have the flexibility to choose where you live (my brother-in-law and his family are in private rented but with council help).

You will get child benefit even though you don't get tax credits, it's about £80 a month which doesn't seem like much but it really helps x

Hi all, mind if I join in? :) I've been following the thread, but have only just plucked up the courage to join. I got my BFP last week and I'm likely to be bringing up the end of the list with an EDD of 31st May.

I have a DD already, but prior to her I lost one at 5-6 weeks. Since I'm only 4+2 at present, I'm still a bit wary that I might lose this one. However my symptoms are already pretty strong, which is both comforting and a bit annoying!

A special hi to everyone I recognise from the September bus! :)

Just made my MW booking in appointment this morning, for two weeks time. Hopefully means I should get my scan date through in the not too distant future, but I'm probably going to book a private scan for around 9 weeks just to reassure myself.

I seem to be getting morning sickness earlier this time - it didn't kick in until 6-7 weeks last time. I can recommend Sea Bands for anyone else struggling. Got mine out already and at the moment they're negating the sickness. As it gets worse I find they only take the edge off, but it's better than nothing!

BoogiesBunny, you mentioned worrying about eating unpasturised cheese that was melted onto bread. Just to reassure you - if it's melted then it's fine! You can have whatever cheese you like if it's cooked, as that kills off any listeria bugs.

Wow a 31st May Maybie! There's going to be a June thread soon welcome Spirael

Thanks Facebook, even £80 will be a godsend I'm sure I know I get extra from student finance for having a dependent, and I think my boyfriend will too, as well as 85% of childcare costs covered, so I think we'll be able to manage. My parents have rented privately since I was 2, with the help of benefits. Not an ideal situation as I always said I didn't want to end up on benefits like my parents, but as soon as uni's over, I already know where I want childcare from - university has a nursery that continues accepting kids after their parents have left uni - and we're both hopefully going to be working.

Long-winded way of saying thanks for the advice
