I've just eaten the. Best. Omelette. Potato, mushroom, carrot, spinach, ham, cheddar and mozzarella. Yum!

That's half a dozen eggs in two days. That's fine, right? I'm getting my protein in

I figure I'd better cram in the goodness while I'm not suffering from sickness.

Went to register with the MW today after the receptionist at my GP didn't seem to know what she was doing . Had to do a test at the surgery, stupidly was nervous on case it came out negative, despite the 7+ tests I've done

Bfp though. Obviously I'm now on the form and the mw will be in touch Tuesday. Exciting!

Ooooh Retro that sounds so yummy! I can't believe you had to poas at the surgery! I've had my booking appointment and everything and no one has seen any evidence of my upduffed status!

I felt really awkward. Didn't help that I peed on the label that the receptionist then peered at to check I'd got my name on

But at least it's a free POAS!!!

Feels more real now it's official. And the more people that know, the more exciting it is. Even if that's just the ladies on reception at the GPs

Honestly, it was so weird being in the maternity clinic thing at the hospital today. Proper preggos everywhere - I felt like a right outsider!
Congratulations on your omelette Retro! And your BFP of course.
I cracked and had salt and vinegar crisps.

Just saw this and thought I'd share it. Slight disclaimer though, I have no idea if it's actually true!

You are a proper Preggo fancy!

Hey Ladies!

Glad you've finally got an appointment Poly, YAY!!. Try not to worry. I think seeing so many mc and mmc really makes it more real that at this stage our little beans are very delicate. In honesty after my mc, seeing so many people go through it really makes me anxious. To the point that I've thought about stepping away until I reach 12 weeks. But then I'll miss you guys! This early stage is a real roller coaster!!

Linda - Glad to see the pain has settled and the bleeding is less. Hopefully it'll bugger off completely over night.

I've just been for dinner and eaten sooo much! I feel so full and bloated!!

Fancy when I went for my booking appointment I felt like a naughty school girl! I have no idea why, it's not even my first! Obviously you're a proper preggo. I think it feels more real after you've had a scan and you know for sure it's a real baby bean!

How the actual fuck am I hungry again?! I just ate an omelette the size of a dinner plate. I feel empty again just after I've eaten. Guess I'd rather this than chucking up daily.

English I was feeling the same so I've stepped back from the December thread for a bit (3mc already this week). So I'm mainly sticking with you guys as I love you and a smaller crowd I just feel is better. I like all the other chit-chat we have too. It's ALL pg related over there.

Oooh that's interesting Poly! Can't quite believe it doesn't make a marmite on toast suggestion though!

English I completely get what you mean. Spending a lot of time on here becomes quite a big emotional investment and it's hard not to take worry away when sad things are happening to others. If you do decide to take time out though, just let us know otherwise we'll worry!

Anybody know any remedies for painful trapped wind? I'm dying here! I'd pay good money for a massive trump right now

Retro try drinking a shitload - it might be thirst not hunger. I've been having the post-dinner hunger though too. I've already had 2 snacks since my dinner.

Peppermint tea Poly! If you haven't got any, try sitting on the floor on your knees and bending forward so your elbows and shins are on the floor with bum in the air. Then wiggle around a bit!

I'm posting too much, tell me to bog off

Fancy I'm sure we are sharing cravings! That's the first think I HAVE to eat everyday to stop me from feeling sick! Marmite has folic acid in, so maybe that's it?

Heehee Fancy my friend calls that "the poo position" and when she's nervous she does it and then has a PPP (pre performance poo)

I'm giggling and DH is looking at me suspiciously.

Ugh. I tried marmite on toast the other day. Not a success.

fancy, I'm now chugging a pint of water. Will see if that helps. if not I'll just go and finish the pack of ham in the fridge

You are making me want marmite on toast and I don't have any, actually I've never even tried it, hmmmm might pop that on Fridays shopping list and give it a go

Hahahhaa Linda that's a big risk for someone who hasn't grown up on the wonderful brown goo! Can't wait to hear your reaction!

Mmmmm ham.

Retro was going to ask you where you're watching all the old OBEMs? Are they up somewhere?

Poly DO THE POO POSITION!!! Trrrruuuuuummmmppppp

They're on 4OD. We've got the app on the iPad but I think you can get it online? Currently catching up on series 3.

Last week marmite and toast was getting me through the day.

This week it's cornflakes and lots of milk. I am also ridiculously thirsty may have something to do with the takeaway I just ate

I've been having a bit of doom as well english . Threads like this are cosier and you also don't get swamped in all the people. There are so many people it can be hard to remember everyone and I'm sure no one remembers me on them.

Hehe, yep it will probably make me throw up but I'll give it a go anyway. I'm away for an early night, been a long, stressful day

Pre- performance poo!! Thats brilliant!!

Linda - how have you not tried marmite!! The trick is don't put too much on! Less is more in my opinion.

I don't think I will step away, at least not from here. Might just give the Jan thread a wide berth and just pop in now and then.
