Also re folic acid is the dose people are taking 400 micro grams? That's what I'm taking but it's just something I bought off Amazon! Are people taking vitamin d too?

Goingmadttc · 18/10/2016 19:08

That's good news Peace! Wow I had no idea something so simple would have such an impact.

Thinking of you Six, hopefully it sounds like a one off but hope you can get some reassurance soon.

From saying earlier I have no symptoms, I am insatiably hungry this afternoon. If I don't eat pretty much constantly (Belvita, brunch bars, biscuits) then I don't feel sick as such but nauseous. the instant I eat I feel so much better. I have gotten through a whole pack of brunch bars today! Is this how anyone else feels?

7 today
Also have had to sit at my desk with my flies undone all day.. whoops.. no room for my growing biscuity tummy.. looks like I will be wearing floaty dresses all winter!

LilyCat43 · 18/10/2016 19:24

I've just been taking these as the pregnancy vitamin capsules we saw were HUGE!! Do you think these are ok?? Xx

I took pregnacare with dd and they made my sickness so so sooo much worse! So now just folic acid and viral d for me and baba x

haveacupoftea · 18/10/2016 19:33

If your BMI is 30+ see your GP re folic acid. I take 5mg folic acid and pregnacare.

hellomist my symptoms have calmed down a lot in last few days and feel some small cramps too. I think its just normal pregnancy unpredictability.

PurpleHaze1 · 18/10/2016 19:47

Hope everything's ok Six.

Goingmad that's exactly what I felt like with DD. As long as I ate, I felt ok but as soon as I felt a tiny bit hungry, I felt sick! The nausea hasn't kicked in for me this time yet. Although the beige diet is starting!

peaceloveandbiscuits · 18/10/2016 19:49

I was taking 5mg for BMI but didn't get a prescription in time last pregnancy, and DS is fine (BMI hasn't changed). I'm comfortable with taking the risk of having 400mcg instead.

haveacupoftea · 18/10/2016 19:52

peace i did read online that the 5mg has actually been proven to help in cases of high bmi but because its cheap theyre happy to prescribe it as a precautionary measure. Not sure how accurate that is!

haveacupoftea · 18/10/2016 19:54

Hasn't been proven that should read!

peaceloveandbiscuits · 18/10/2016 19:55

I can't find any info on why BMI is a factor. I wonder if it's an assumption that fatties don't like broccoli Grin

Mommytobe2017 · 18/10/2016 19:58

I'm taking boots folic acid + vit D
I can't remember if I took one this morning Hmm

Thanks for the info about the first appt. Not feeling so anxious about it now Smile

I can smell literally everything now! We've been using pineapple today for an experiment and ther room stinks of it!

Skee · 18/10/2016 20:13

Evening all - hope everyone's ok?

Thinking of you Six, x x

Great news Peace, I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better!

I'm having waves of horrendous nausea and my boobs have started feeling pretty sore now... they're also flipping huge. I managed to lose some weight this year and dropped to a 32F from a GG, but in the last 10 days I'm now filling the GeeGee's... at this rate I'm going to run out of bloody letters!! Shock

haveacupoftea · 18/10/2016 20:15

I want sweeties!! Must stop feeding my face with sugar Blush

Dragon5000 · 18/10/2016 20:34

Hi-de-hi! Didn't throw up over anyone at my sons school this morning - winning! Had took take my bag full of crackers though to keep me upright!
Wondering if it's the pregnacare that is making me feel rough? Doesn't take it before and didn't have any nausea etc.
7+6

Poogie17 · 18/10/2016 20:43

Hi Guys
Can I join your thread? We are pregnant for the first time which is just wonderful! I am 5w5d and hoping and keeping fingers, toes and everything crossed :)

MoonlightMojitos · 18/10/2016 20:49

Hope you're OK six please give them a call asap just to get checked over as stress and worrying isn't good for you.

tea hopefully that's it. It is nerve wracking isn't it. I've been actually sick last 2 days but not today so now I'm anxious too, it's ridiculous really when I was feeling so sick before. I've got in to the hang of constantly eating though so hoping that's helping.

bobo glad it's all coming along for you! I've still got another 2 weeks til my booking appointment feels like forever.

anna I'm taking pregnacare so has folic acid and vit d plus everything else, not sure on the dose though.

Welcome poogie!

MoonlightMojitos · 18/10/2016 20:50

dragon I have heard pregnacare can make sickness worse but I take mine before bed and feel sick all day long so don't think it's making me worse as I'd expect to be OK during the day before taking it.

Mommytobe2017 · 18/10/2016 20:59

Well tonight I am extremely cold. Once again in my long pjs, jumper and blanket.
I truly hate not being able to get warm

Skee · 18/10/2016 21:05

For what it's worth, I've been taking Pregnacare for a week, started feeling dodgy on Sunday night. I take it with breakfast but tend to feel worst in the afternoon/evening... I think I'll finish the 30day pack and move back to the Folic and VitD

Welcome Poogie and congratulations!! x

VeganMama83 · 18/10/2016 21:06

I take a vegan multivitamin and folic acid but felt sick before adding the extra folic acid tbh

MissisBee · 18/10/2016 21:59

Hi ladies. May I also join you? BFP today for #1. Equal measures excited and terrified. Think approx 5+1.
Boobs have been sore for a week or two (there was me thinking it was premenstrual!) Otherwise not so bad.

Thanks, Tea, hopefully.

Sixisthemagicnumber · 18/10/2016 22:40

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I haven't had any more bleeding since the initial bit and the first hour afterwards. DH has just said if I get any more tomorrow that I must ring him to come home so that I can go to the EPU. Looking at the EPU online though, I'm
Not sure where is anything that they could do as they will only do a scan of you are 7+ weeks or if the highly suspect an ectopic. DH reminds me that I had a bit of bleeding at about the same stage when I was pregnant with dc1, 15 years ago and all turned out well Smile

Dragon5000 · 18/10/2016 22:50

Hmmm I think I'll finish this packet then go back to just folic acid, dumbass here couldn't find just vit d on its own, am I just blind or should I look online?

Hey newbies!
