Haha poor bugger. There is no winning for men at this time is there!! Any sign of feeling any movement yet for you?

broodysnoopstie · 28/08/2014 07:53

Yes I've had little flutters and bubbles every now and then since 16 weeks I'm now 18 weeks and feel it most days!

broodysnoopstie · 28/08/2014 14:33

Oooh my bambino best hurry up and have a wriggle! My pram arrived today I love it!

broodysnoopstie · 29/08/2014 09:38

yay! What one did you go for?

OP posts:

I went for the mamas and papas zoom. I liked it in the shop and most reviews seem to say it lasts a lot longer than other prams where people tended to downgrade to a stroller. And it was a really reasonable price as well! I ended up paying £269!

broodysnoopstie · 29/08/2014 14:24

woo sounds awesome!

I've just been for my midwife appointment she says my uterus is right where it should be for 18 weeks and the heartbeat was good and strong.. don't see her again now until November! Got some antenatal classes booked in too. Grin

How did they do an examination for your uterus? What classes did you book? I haven't decided what I want to do. Luckily you can trial them first and tell me if they are pants!!

broodysnoopstie · 29/08/2014 20:03

She just had a feel of my tummy. I booked into the 2 free ones as can't afford the £400 for nct. One is on birth and labour etc. One on breast feeding.

OP posts:
woodwaj · 02/09/2014 18:44

Hi ladies sorry to jump on this bu was wondering if anyone had an advice?
I'm on noriday mini pill and my periods are all over. 2.5 - 3 weeks ago I had one that was quite red and clotty (sorry tmi) this lasted about a week.
Around the same time I came down with a viral infection, which I can't seem to shift.
But I'm starting to wonder ... Every morning I wake up feeling nausea and feel like I could weep instantly and the most random things. Each morning I start to burn up, I'm getting more frequent headache and the thing that's made me question is that I can smell things really strongly. I could smell my bfs tobacco from across the room!also, I'm ridiculously tired no matter how much I sleep and can't seem to keep my mind straight. I forget what I'm saying and doing most of the time!
I know I've only just had a period so I'm being paranoid right?

woodwaj · 08/09/2014 11:12

Ill ask my midwife this week and see what she says i haven't had my prescription exemption either! (Sorry i replied ages ago and i just realised it didn't post due to no signal!) I think I have been feeling first movements this weekend a bit like prodding or small twinges!

Hi blissful, only one way to find out im afraid!! Sounds like a period to me though! Good luck!

onelifeonechance · 09/09/2014 19:50

Hello! How is everyone doing? Hope the bumps are coming along nicely Smile

I've had a good hol but af has shown up again so onto cycle 18. Least she had the decency to wait til the last day of hols! Got fertility clinic appt this week, hoping they'll be some kind of plan, will let you know. Anyhoo, just thought I'd pop on to say hi.

Blissful, hope it all becomes clear soon, it's the not knowing that's the worse thing, good luck.

woodwaj · 10/09/2014 18:34

Hi onelife nice to hear from you! When is your appointment? Do you have no idea of what they will do?

I saw the midwife today and heard babies heartbeat. She had no troubles finding it and we both think its a boy based on the rhythm! 2 days left in work till holidays!! And 2 weeks till scan!

woodwaj · 10/09/2014 18:40

I forgot to say broody. I got my prescription exemption form today and my matb1 form which she dated from 20 weeks x

broodysnoopstie · 12/09/2014 09:38

hi One sorry about AF :( fx for your appointment

That's great wood. A boy how exciting! My scan is next week at 21 weeks still think I won't find out. Smile

I've got my exemption card filled out form at docs and card arrived a week or 2 later just no mat1Confused

OP posts:
woodwaj · 12/09/2014 14:20

woodwaj · 12/09/2014 19:29

Ahhh they haven't mentioned that. I wondered if i would be more prone to it if the pcos makes me more prone to it.

broodysnoopstie · 12/09/2014 20:54

I was told at booking in I'd need it. family history of diabetes x

woodwaj · 12/09/2014 21:02

Ahh maybe i won't then. It does seem like we all get different info. She didnt really do anything. She spoke about xmas shopping more than anything else!!!
