KittyVonCatsington · 07/10/2014 06:38

Ha ha! I'm in work for 7am so leaving shortly-what a grotty morning! Enjoy your Starbucks Brew speed

Thanks so much for kindly putting a Facebook group Tits. You are lovely Grin Can I also be cheeky and request a secret group for the same reasons as Gin?

BB01 · 07/10/2014 07:23

I'd also rather a secret group if poss. Sorry to be a pain!

Titsalinabumsquash · 07/10/2014 07:25

I can of course make it secret, how shall we go about adding people to it? Do you want to PM me your details on Facebook so I can add you or is there another, better way? Smile

speedbird17 · 07/10/2014 07:30

Cheeky post from the car park M4, 7am is an early start!! I'm not starting until 10am, but Somerset is miles from Heathrow!

BeanCalledPickle · 07/10/2014 07:54

So with my last one people joined me as a friend, I added them to group and then they unfriended me (unless they particularly enjoyed sharing the mundane details of my life!)

mumxof3x · 07/10/2014 08:42

On my other group, people added either me or 2 other of the ladies and we added them to the group xx

Titsalinabumsquash · 07/10/2014 08:47

Gah! It won't let me add people who aren't my Facebook friends, so if you PM me your details, I'll friend request you (initials CP) then add you to the group then you can unfriend me, I think that's the easiest way.

Fluffeh · 07/10/2014 10:06

I'd rather a secret group too not being awkward but I don't want people to put 2 and 2 together x

Titsalinabumsquash · 07/10/2014 10:08

I've changed it to secret, I've managed to add one person.

I will have to friend request you all though to add you, I won't be offended if you un friend me afterwards, Facebook have made it so I can only add friends to the group.

So anyone who wants to join, please feel free to PM your name and profile picture so I know it's you and then I'll friend request you, add you and voila! Smile

aberjen · 07/10/2014 11:08

Thanks for organising the fb group tits - I've pm'd you

Cheers BB ans kyz for the best wishes - got through sunday okay then I came down with the bloody thing in the early hours of Monday morning! So off work yesterday, and again today. Am over the bug, but stupid morning sickness means I'm finding it hard to eat and get my strength back - I feel so pathetic! I know I shouldn't be wishing the time away but I am so over the first trimester. 9 weeks tomorrow and really hoping I start to feel better very soon.

Ameilius · 07/10/2014 11:15

So sorry for all of those having a hard time, hope things start to get better and those beanies stay put!

I've not commented for ages and ages, I've been feeling so horribly ill and throwing up lots. Just had a week off work last week which helped and I'm starting to feel better now, less ill and more normal again. But then this morning at work. I had to leave a talk early, was violently sick (seriously.. so much projectile-ness), burst into floods of tears (mainly I think because of the shock over the amount and power of the sick! sorry, tmi) and had to go home again.. I feel so pathetic! So many women cope with morning sickness why does it leave me in tears?! I am in awe of all of you coping with nausea and young children!

Uff.. sorry just had to share.

Think the facebook group sounds great (especially as it's now a secret group!) I'll be PMing you tits Smile

Ameilius · 07/10/2014 11:17

haha, aberjen know exactly how you feel! Bring on the 2nd trimester.. they say we'll start to glow! (although I'd be happy with enough energy to put on mascara and wash my hair..)

BB01 · 07/10/2014 11:59

Ameilius I'd cry too if that happened to me. I hate being sick so much. You poor thing. Really hope you feel better soon.

You too Aberjen, bugs are bad enough when you're not pg but they're even harder to fight off if you're feeling a bit rough anyway and ate growing a baby!

BB01 · 07/10/2014 12:00

Thanks tits for organising this. I'll PM you. Although people never seem to be able to find me on fbook so if you can't we might have to do it the other way round if that's ok

Sunshinesaz86 · 07/10/2014 13:00

hi ladies, sorry ive been a bit AWOL.

sorry to those feeling crappy, i hope you all feel better soon.

turquoise i think you should enjoy your announcement and do it how you wish you certainly deserve it. same goes for everyone elses little beanies, my DP is desperate for a FB pic after 12 week scan.

sorry to hear youve had a stressfull time too kitty so pleased you and bean are healthy and your scan pic is perfect!

tits i'll prob join at some point too maybe after scan. thanks for setting it up in readiness! :)

I am 8+3 today and this morning started retching quite badly (no sickness thank god) however bad enough to make i eyes stream, i take my hat off to anyone suffering with MS and just hope this retching doesn't progress into MS. I assumed it would of startred earlier than this but I guess everyones different?

mrsdiddlydoo · 07/10/2014 13:28

thanks for the fb group Tits I'll wait till we've had a scan to join. Truly appreciated though.

And Ameilius don't beat yourself up about the MS. I'm still waiting for it to hit, but first time round I ended up being signed off work for weeks by my GP because I was in no fit state to work. I am not good at being sick at the best of times. Nevermind when you're hiding early days of a pregnancy at work. x

God time is still moving too slowly still. 8 wks tomorrow. MW called on sunday and my booking appointment has been scheduled for 23rd Oct. Tick tock... tick tock... Now where's my time speeder upperer that I ordered from Amazon...

aberjen · 07/10/2014 15:24

Ameilius that sounds awful, you poor thing! Definitely don't worry about having to take time off. I'm trying to look at it as 'if it was a bug making me feel this way, would I take time off?' We shouldn't feel we have to battle through just because it's not an 'illness'...I should probably point out I'm not very good at taking my own advice!

plinkyplonks · 07/10/2014 15:48

Been off work sick now for 2 weeks. Pondering on whether to go back to worry but a lil worried I won't be able to stay awake throughout the night shift. I dislike stay off work if I feel I'm capable to.. but if I need a rest, the team is small so I won't have the opportunity to go to sleep for 2-3 hours. Not quite sure what to do.

KittyVonCatsington · 07/10/2014 17:39

Thanks Tits You shouldn't have to directly friend request us-on a secret group, as long as we give you our email addresses that our Facebook account is registered to, you can invite us to the group. Want to give this a go? I'll PM you my email address Grin

KittyVonCatsington · 07/10/2014 17:47

Tits Just found a nice summary of how to do it Grin

There should be a place on the right side of your group page that says "Invite via e-mail." You can't put a big group e-mail list in there, but you can add a group of e-mails individually and then invite them

SmileyScooby · 07/10/2014 20:00

Hi all, just been catching up on the past few days, thanks for advice re hairs on my chinny chin chin (I've plucked for the mo as have never bleached...will see how long lasts!!)

Sorry to read that some of you have been going through some worrying times but also pleased to see the good news too.
Still no real symptoms here...so part of me is worried that things aren't going to plan but haven't had any spotting so also seeing that as a good thing. Some people at work today commented that I looked like I'd lost weight since the summer...don't think I have I reckon just was wearing baggy cardi today and was secretly thinking 'you won't be saying that in a few months' hehe

Have got midwife appt in a couple of days - what sort of questions have people been asked?

WutheringFrights · 07/10/2014 20:16

Evening!
Well, its looking a bit rubbish for me I'm afraid. I popped into see my MW today and told her I didn't really feel pregnant so she's booking me into the EPU.
However tonight while I was at work I went to the loo and there is red blood. Not loads but probably enough to tell me what I already know.

Question...as I am having no pain and no cramps do I just ride it out until speak to MW in the morning...or should I be doing something?
Sorry to put a downer on this evenings thread!

KittyVonCatsington · 07/10/2014 20:51

You are not putting a downer on the thread Wuthering -you poor thing! You could go straight to A and E where they could do an internal check and may be able to scan you tonight. If not, they can refer you to the EPU in the morning to check f you and the baby are ok. You could wait and try an EPU in the morning ourself. I don't know where you live but this link will let you know your nearest EPU and how to contact them earlypregnancy.org.uk/FindUsMap.asp
I'm not sure how far you are though as that can affect what they say and how much they can help.

HOWEVER, the fact that there is no pain and only a bit of spotting, it could be the little bean burrowing further in so extended implantation spotting or it could be what I had and harmless. Do whatever you think is best, my lovely.xxxxx
