Hellooo

Can't shut us Septembers up can they?

Moves soooo fast!

Hi all :)

Marking my place hi ladies!

Ohh, can i ask if anyone knows about smear tests while pregnant?
Had my first letter come through when I wasn't pregnant but stupidly forgot to go.

Feeling rubbish today - off work. Trying to tidy up a little whilst watching Friends.

treacle I'm pretty sure you'll have to arrange the smear test for afterwards - I know I had one done when DD was a few months old.

hi everyone

Thanks for confirming my thoughts about eggs, shoot.
I've never come down with salmonella in my life, so the chances of it happening in pregnancy are super-slim (unlike me!)

Ordered some maternity jeans from verbaudet at the weekend. They have changeable tummy bands for when you get bigger. Seemed like a good idea and my jeans are getting uncomfortable!

genni I'm thinking about booking an early scan at 8 weeks! Just to put my mind at rest and then it will be another month still until nhs test!

Treacle my midwife said that smears aren't done while pregnant because the hormones or something at the cervix cause abnormal results which aren't accurate

Shamelessly place marking. Love how chatty we all are!

mummyboo no worries - I'm sure it was a MNer who first told me all of this so it's nice to pass it along! I think that our immune systems are lowered in pregnancy so we do have a generally higher risk if we are exposed to these bacteria, but even a weakened immune system can't create salmonella out of nothing

I tried those Vertbaudet jeans last week actually! They looked good but in the end I sent them back as the Seraphina ones seemed to fit me better and I was given 5 pairs of mat jeans/trousers by a friend. Hope they suit you

I had a smear when DD was a few months old I think. I've had one since and should be due one when this one is around 1.

I am hoping my sister will send me her maternity clothes.

I didn't need them til 18 weeks with DD and hoping for similar this time wishful thinking

Thanks for the new thread Shoot - also for the useful page link - I'd forgotten about smoked salmon - dammit!
And Talla - that vodka will be well deserved by the time you're ready to drink it!

thanks for the thread!
That was 1000 posts in 10 days! haha

Just pasted over here in case everyone's moved already :) Oh cool nutella do you have a facebook page? I wonder if we know each other's businesses!!
donot I'm the same, I would kill someone for a tin (or vat) or tuna!
To those talking about eggs, it's suppose to be no runny eggs but I always each them and have throughout pregnancy, it's due to salmonella and risk of food poisoning, but I have never had food poisoning from an egg before (and I eat raw cake mix like every day). Lion stamped eggs are vaccinated eggs so there's really no risk from them.

Woohoo! New thread! Thanks shoot xx

Marking place!

Is smoked salmon not allowed? you can have a tin of tuna but no more than 15? in a week so think you'd need to eat a lot for it to be a problem!

Spam - that's good news ! I only like eggs if the yolk is runny!
Tomorrow I'll be 6 +4. It was at this point last pregnancy that we went for a private scan and they found an empty sac. Going to be a tough day. Getting closer to midwife appointment a week on Wednesday.

Thanks for organising Shoot. Marking place and a quick moan about my MAHOOSIVE boobs- ouch! Only symptom at the mo though (5+5) so i guess i should be grateful.
