Come put your feet up in the Zen den and let the dh's wait on us hand and foot whilst we nurture the fruit of their loins in our bellies :-)

Have you spoken to your GP about getting a booking in appointment wotsits? Did they say how you got an appointment? I had to fill out a form and sent it to the midwives and they were meant to send you an appointment for between 8 and 10 weeks. In the end I called them and got an appointment at 9+1 as I'm sure they'd forgotten about me!

As I live in a relatively small community I saw my community midwife at the surgery at 6wks and then she came to mine at 7wks. However I haven't had my weight, height, urine or bloods checked. They're all going to be done at my 12wk scan on Wednesday.
Unfortunatly I think it differs from county to county.

wotsits1 · 23/05/2015 09:29

my gp referred me for my booking in at the hospital.... which I had yesterday.

Can't remember when I see the midwife at my surgery though? I assume its after my 12 week scan?

Fumes Angry

wotsits1 · 23/05/2015 11:00

chops you OK? I'm actually raging.

wotsits1 · 23/05/2015 11:36

You know what guys.... I'm gonna leave mn.

This isn't what I hoped for at all.

I will still be on the fab group so will still get to see all you lovelies journeys. But mn and its negativity just isn't for me.

tessiegirl · 23/05/2015 15:02

Blimey, what's happened? Have I missed something? Sad

MelonMelon · 23/05/2015 15:21

I normally avoid conflict but I've found it hard with that thread. Hope you're ok chops Feels a bit like we're not welcome back on that thread to check in on the others!

tessiegirl · 23/05/2015 15:26

Ok, I have seen what happened now. Are you ok Chops? You didn't mean the comment as some kind of 'club' and it makes me angry that certain people on that thread straight away attacked you for it. We have all been friends for so long and that is what the mega bus was for. I also don't get why it is ok for Sparkly to make a reference to being 10 weeks and when you do you are 'put right'.

I must admit I have been feeling as though I keep commenting on how the ttc'ers are getting on and not once mention anything to do with me (unless it is non pregnancy related obviously) and I never get asked how I am doing etc but when Sparkly goes on they can't get enough with hearing how she is feeling/ how many weeks she is etc. Of course I get what a terrible time Sparkly has had but it doesn't seem fair/right somehow to the rest of us grads??????

MelonMelon · 23/05/2015 15:30

I agree. I've been checking in and commenting to others to be supportive but just get ignored. I have to say I agreed with Wotsits comment about MC, having had one myself I do feel like that. I'll stay over here and let that thread drop off my watch list

tessiegirl · 23/05/2015 15:54

I have said how I feel on other thread. It isn't right that there appears to be one rule for one and another for the rest of us! I don't want it to kick off again but when we are being made to feel we need to leave a thread we have been on for months something isn't right.

chopsface · 23/05/2015 17:49

Can't even remember the words I used and I don't want to read back. Did I really say club, eeek! But yes sparkly is able to be asked about how she feels and how many weeks. No one asks me how many weeks I am and I've never complained about my nausea on there. Oh yeah I rocked the boat a few weeks ago too didn't I! I said I'd given up Zumba now and I was told off as it was preg related.

Is this the right place to say I feel tired and ill today? Coz I do. So there.

Hoping all you ladies are ok. Sorry I have been relatively absent today and have only caught snippets of info. Hmm

loopylou1984 · 24/05/2015 06:23

Hi All

Just a quick note to say I'm sorry if you think I've been ignoring you, it's not intentional, I try to catch up with everyone but it's hard between work. I also go on on the app most of the time so sometimes lose track of who has had the BFPs as the title page with the stats doesn't appear at the top. I'm really pleased for all your BFPs!

I hate that there's now a divide, and hope if I ever get my bfp you'll let me on this bus. Xx

babsbunny · 24/05/2015 07:39

Morning girls. Hope everyone is ok today?

Chops, hope you are feeling better today. Up to much for you day? Try to rest my dear.

Mummyofone? Are you around? Hope you are ok and getting lots of rest. One day down. I'm thinking of you.

Girls, none of us need the stress of yesterday. That level of upset is good for no one, preggo or not. I was completely wound up just reading it, not involved. It's a sad outcome when the bus was designed to keep people together.

I haven't commented in there since the incident a few weeks ago, where I was accused of being a new lpb, plotting a baby bomb. Dh wants me to have nothing to do with it. Its a shame, because there are some lovely girls in there and I'm really rooting for everyone. But I have now left the bigger Facebook group also.

Again, nobody, especially our precious beans, pips, chips and other random small ovoid entities need that stress!

Hoping everyone has a better day xxx

chopsface · 24/05/2015 08:17

Aww babs how could anyone forget such a sweet person such as yourself? Yes you're right, we need to hold on to our precious cargo and look after ourselves physically and mentally.

Sammy of course you can join when you get your bfp silly. Everyone can join coz everyone WILL get their bfp eventually and we'll all live happily ever after Grin

Morning ladies.

Being lazy this morning, still in bed wondering when I should get up (DH left for work 1.5hrs ago).
Still being in bed before 9am isn't bad is it?
Actually, i do feel in the mood to clean and tidy today. My DH will be surprised when he gets in from work if I've actually done some house work (haven't had the energy or time the past few weeks)
Think I might have to put on some tunes and have a dance around the house while I clean!

So that's my exciting Sunday plans. What are you lot up today.

(mummy you rest my dear and fx for this evening)

tessiegirl · 24/05/2015 09:54

Morning everyone, trying to remain calm today.

We have just woken up so going to cook breakfast and catch up on Britain's Got Talent Grin then chill out for the rest of the day.

Thinking of you Mummy

dojo123 · 24/05/2015 10:00

Morning Tessie waves what have you got for breakfast (need some inspiration, also, yep I'm still in bed! So lazy so loving it)

dojo123 · 24/05/2015 10:01

Cross out fail Confused

chopsface · 24/05/2015 11:19

Still in bed here! Watching cookery programs. My appetite for healthier food is coming back even though I'm still getting bouts of nausea! I know I've got to start eating for my baby now!

Bugger all planned today and tomorrow. Wish we did have plans as it feels wasted. Although of course it's nice to rest up too when you usually work full time! Still have a guilty feeling when I'm being lazy though no matter what the circumstances!

Finally up and showered! Trying to find something I can slouch about the house in today. Think it's going to be leggings, a loose dress and waterfall cardi.

Rainy34 · 24/05/2015 13:35

Hi Ladies, I too feel bad that i have ignored you all, its not intentional, I will try harder to pop in and check on you all,
