May 2018 babies

[katiegd]

We're pretty early but thought I'd start a thread to see if anyone else is here already.

I'm 4+1, apparently due around 2 May. Would be great to have some company :). Already obsessing over every little thing. The next 8 weeks are going to drag!

Flumplet I'm overweight also, when I contacted GP surgery this morning I mentioned needing higher dose folic acid and she said MW will go through all that but it needs to be prescribed by GP and like you say, by the booking appt we will almost be at the point of not needing it any more! Might make an appt with GP tomorrow

Get a telephone appointment with GP and ask for it. Midwives definitely don't do prescriptions so she'll go via your GP anyway. Alternatively, worth talking to a pharmacist?

@HerSymphony what are you planning on making? I'm a bit stuck with ideas for a spring baby as our original plan (haha!) was to have an autumn baby

hersymphony in a cross stitcher... have browsed but not bought yet! Wondering when I will find the time as still have another 1.5 to do for other family babies!

Yes i guess the really woolly stuff will have to wait (or made 6-12mo size)!

I think I'll make cotton or bamboo hats, a nice blanket, maybe just one jacket and a few shorter sleeved lighter cardigans for summer

Sorry to bring things down but things not so great here..bleeding has got a lot worse and have been advised to be seen at a and e
Here on my own waiting and feeling very despondant

Midgetjen sorry to hear that. Sending you positive vibes xx

Keeping my fingers crossed for you midgetjen hope they don't keep you waiting too long & can give you answers x

Sorry to hear that midgetjen, hope things turn out well and you don't have to wait too long

Oh no @midgetjen sorry to hear that Hun. Sorry you're on your own. Have they said what your wait will be? xxx

Thinking of you @midgetjen - I hope you get seen really soon and keeping everything crossed for you

im keeping my fingers crossed for you midgetjen

@midgetjen I'm thinking of you and keeping everything crossed xxx

@midgetjen fingers crossed thinking of you

Is someone on the way to be with you @midgetjen ? Thinking of you and hoping for the best xx

Have been through triage so hopefully won't be too long. Just want to go home and curl up in bed

Oh misget :( thinking of you, hope you get some answers soon and someone can be with you xxx

Oh @midgetjen 😔 hope you get seen very soon and all is well x

Thinking of you @midgetjen, everything crossed x

Sorry I haven't been on much, we're just on holiday at the moment.

Just wanted to say I'm thinking of you @midgetjen and really hope you're seen soon so you can get home.

Oh no midgetjet I'm so sorry. I've been there and I know how horrible it is. I really hope they manage to give you some answers, the uncertainty is awful.

So sorry midgetgen - really keeping everything crossed for you x

Flumplet at the start of my last pregnancy the midwife told me that they'd just announced in their trust that people with bmi over 35 should take double dose folic. But by the time I had my baby, my sister who is a midwife in a different area said that in her trust they'd been told the latest research showed it wasn't necessary so they were stopping it. Lots of mixed messaging out there, so I wouldn't worry too much. The advice would likely differ depending on where you live.

midgetgen hope all goes ok x

I'm afraid I'll be leaving you all...despite having a positive test yesterday my test at a and e has come back negative...so the dr said it is classed as a chemical pregnancy.
Wishing you all happy and healthy pregnancies and beautiful may babies xxx
