b&w Private groups don't appear on your friend's newsfeeds so they wouldn't know unless they were part of the same group! Secret groups can't even be searched for so are completely hidden.

*friends' newsfeeds that should have said. Sorry, I am anal about apostrophes!

Feeling a bit sorry for myself tonight...fed up of always being at parties people getting drunk and raucous not that I want to drink but just how obnoxious everyone else seems to be!!!
I've left dh at his brothers house I just couldn't hang about anymore also is anyone else avoiding bbq food? Like how do you know it's cooked? And even if it's been cooked in the oven then finished off in bbq how CLEAN is that bbq?? Probably not cleaned in years...am I wrong?

Finally got logged back in. Lovely scan and bump pictures. Would also be happy to go to a FB page. Scan on Thursday and seriously craving a glass of wine but haven't indulged. 19+4

spydie happy new house! Sorry you're feeling a bit down - it's most probably the new environment and the change, no matter how much you've wanted something it can still make you feel really weird when it happens. Give yourself time, don't worry about feeling a bit off, and we're all here if you need some MN support!

looking your spa day sounds bloody amazing. I'm on a train home after a very hot and sweaty day cleaning, going for a fruitless shopping trip (for my DH!) on Oxford St then going to a concert so am feeling the opposite of relaxed

chatty I had part of a BBQ pork burger made by my (chef) neighbour at 12 weeks and had to leave the rest as just wasn't convinced it was cooked through. I always cook BBQ food in an oven / grill first but hard to control when going to other people's BBQs!

I really shouldn't have done the vacuuming earlier. Now in lots of pain around my hip/bum/lower back. Going to need to be a bit gentle for a few days again methinks.

Oh and was it valancy asking about the pain in lower tummy? Agree it sounds like round ligament pain, something I've been getting a bit and seems to be made worse by moving.

lily I feel the same.. did request some be cooked separate for me tonight but sil forgot...

mrschatty I've avoided bbq food too. Just not worth it for me.

Had a row with DH tonight He's so tetchy at the moment, I feel like I'm walking on eggshells, and I just don't have the energy to deal with it now.

Sorry to hear that blackandwhite it's awful when you have a fight especially our hormones don't make it easier...

Ok ladies I'm going to set up a secret group and will put the details on the bottom of the page of all our dates etc. I think I have to add u as a friend first and then add u to the group? I will then remove u aaa friend but u will be in the group? Hope that makes sense? X

Morning ladies! Just catching up, some lovely scan pics and bump pics going on, congrats to everyone on scans so far! Looking forward to my 20 week scan this Thursday and first consultant appointment.

Had a complete meltdown on Friday afternoon, the pram arrived in 6 massive boxes which was exciting at first. But then the realisation that there is so much to do in the house hit me like a train. So we've spent the weekend packing things into boxes and putting them into the loft, we're painting the smallest room today as this will become the guest room. Feeling like I'm achieving stuff now.

I have my meeting with the independent person assigned to hear my grievance tomorrow pm. It's been lovely and quiet for the last few weeks with certain people being out, but I think it's all going to get nasty from now :-(

b&w, hope the argument is nothing too serious, and importantly not stressing you out too much.

chatty I'm completely ruling out bbq food, and booze for that matter. It makes me feel like I'm doing something positive for the babies, and I really don't feel like I'm missing out.

Am I the only one having twins at the moment? Interesting anecdote from a colleague with 3 year old twins... They only found out at the 20 week scan (even after 3 other scans). I wonder if anyone else will get a BOGOF deal

Thanks lily I think I feel a bit better today. Up until now haven't had any emotional up and downs so just feel like I shouldn't have felt how I did iykwim!!

I'm aching too although self inflicted as should have probably left the lifting and shifting to others! But the house won't unpack itself...! Actually my ankles are agony, no idea why!

I'm also happy to join a FB group :-)

Enjoying seeing everyone's bump and scan pics, 2 weeks tomorrow until mine!

fizzy and lily It was me, I thought I'd the stretching pains I'm used to was round ligament pain, but having googled I think you're right. Definitely not going to stress about it now

Aww looking how cute, look at that little profile!

Just noticed someone has started a May 2016 thread. May!!!

Sounds good frozen

miss can you create a profile and have everything set to private so no one else in rl can find you and then just use it for the fb group?

I'd be up for a FB group.

We had a BBQ yesterday and were very careful, even had a meat thermometer and checked every single item! on the subject of alcohol, I've not touched a drop and don't intend to. I'm very black and white with things and it's just easier not to.

have we got any more 20 week scans this week?

Details up please see the details sheet at the bottom. I have to add a few of u before I can create the group.

That sounds good frozen I'm in!

Hope things are better between you this morning b&w.

Looks like you've got a lot on ready, hope you get some time to relax today as well!

Frozen I'm up for a FB page too. I might be better at it than MN. I only use my phone so I miss all the lovely scan & bump pics.

I've stayed away from BBQ food too but mainly because the weather in Scotland hasn't been great.
I had one small glass of champagne on my daughters 18th but that will be me from now on. I'm not a big drinker anyway.

Looking glad you enjoyed your spa day I've been thinking about going for one for a few weeks now.

B&W hope the back pain eases off. Maybe with your new bra it might help.

MissM if you set a FB page up but set to private then you could use it only for the private group and no one in RL needs to know you are on FB.

Hope everyone has a good day. I'm up and ready to take DD to her football match. The Sunday morning games were off during the summer holidays and I've not missed them.

Valancy A MAY thread?! Bloody hell!

frozen sorry I can't see the link on the app. can you PM me?

Frozen I think I've found you on Facebook to add you. I'm not a weirdo friend collector!

Morning all...

Oooh I must be the only one not concerned about BBQ food but there again BIL is obsessive about hides BBQ and leans it everyday.

We always part cook chicken in the oven before it even goes on the grill and always cook everything right through anyway. We've had 2 BBQs in the last 2 weeks!

Also BIL mother brought round a non alcoholic redwine lol!

Pains!!! Yes!!! I bent over to do something yesterday, went to stand up and 'bam' a strong sharp pulling pain in lower right abdomen!

My 20wk scan is Thursday at 3:05pm... And scan twins??? It's the day after my birthday too, lovely present!!

Oops! Mucho typos!!!

Obsessive about HIS bbq and CLEANS it everyday!

Morning guys.. Spent 7 hours yesterday shopping.. Tried on 32 dresses stressful to say the least.. Finally found one in the end but not as pretty as I would have liked..Exhausted wasn't the word!! ..

Anyone else feeling really down but don't really have a reason. Not sure if I'm still getting over the long day yesterday but just feel so down today.. Can't shake it..happy with a Facebook group too.. Decided to have a lazy day with dd and dp few games & movies and going to order a pizza later :) hopefully start to feel a bit better..

Haven't had any alcohol yet but after 20 week scan I have three weddings 1 next week 1 September and 1 November so think I may have a glass of wine with my meal at the weddings :) pretty proud iv completely given up smoking from 20 a day to none a month before fell pregnant so think a little treat is ok.. Like somebody else said the amount of things our parents/grandparents did when pregnant!

Hope everyone has a lovely day :) xx

Thanks frozen, ive requested you. The tricky thing with transferring if you feel like you know who everyone is,then you all change names and have to start agajn!
This has been a rubbish week. Kids sick mon, tue, dh felt rubbish thur then i was sick yesterday. Happily DS is happy just to watch tv but DD at 2 needs a bit more entertaining. In amongst that was my birthday, but that was a bit of a non-event. Oh well.hopefully this week will be better.
