My GP asked if congrats were in order, told me to take folic acid and not drink or smoke and then gave me wrong instructions about how to book in with midwife! But got that sorted and just waiting on midwife call now.
Went out last night and it was great. Dinner, drinks and a gig and we were home before 11, had spent some lovely time together and dh was delighted with the cost of a round!

Thanks @shortcake76 x

thinpigeon · 15/10/2017 11:33

I rang the doctor's surgery but didn't get past the receptionist before being referred to the midwife who I have a phone appointment with tomorrow. I imagine it will be a few more weeks before actually seeing her though...

UnicornDust17 · 15/10/2017 11:34

Is everyone on the FB group? Will it come up on my profile? I'm a bit worried about being outed as not told anyone yet.

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 15/10/2017 11:35

@UnicornDust17 It won't. Only on your timeline. Nobody elses :)

shortcake76 · 15/10/2017 11:41

That's what I was worried about unicorn, but it's a secret group. Come on over xx

ElizabethLemon · 15/10/2017 11:56

Shortcake, I think it's normal but I know it's worrying when you feel like you should be puking your guts out etc.. My symptoms really seem to come and go, Thursday I felt absolutely fine then Friday and Saturday felt awful.

Welcome and congrats to the newcomers 🙂!

Hello! Everyone who's emailed should have an email invite to the secret group. If you don't see the invite, check your junk folder.
For those of you who haven't joined the group, please send an email! It's so much nicer to communicate over there. Posts don't get lost, it's easier to discuss topics and it's only a tiny little group. I promise there is no way for anyone on your friends list to see that you're a member of the group, and even if someone did spy your newsfeed on your phone/laptop, the group name doesn't give it away.

Hello! I posted in the thread on the pregnancy board but thought I would post here too! Have had multiple faint bfps and my frer taken 2 days apart is getting stronger so I'm really hopeful, though not due on until some time this week (weds-fri). Line getting stronger is a good sign though right?! All being well ill be due 27th June 🤞🏻

SylvesterTheCat · 15/10/2017 13:13

Woohoo for new thread! Placemarking.

ElizabethLemon I (5+4) feel peckish shortly after meals. Before BFP I ate quite large meals but find I can't finish my meals these days and graze throughout the day instead. It's not just "I fancy eating coz I'm bored" type hungry... actual feeling of emptiness and slight lightheadedness. No other symptoms yet.

Still not sure whether to take Pregnecare type vitamins (currently just on Folic + Vit D) ... I don't usually like taking vitamins but perhaps I should. What's everyone else doing?

thinpigeon · 15/10/2017 13:33

I have a combined folic acid, iron and b12 supplement + vit c and d, but that's mainly because of some health issues I had pre-pregnancy - low iron and vit d, but can't tolerate straight iron tablets. Not planning on adding anything else.

@cuppasarah - thinking of you xxx

I'm taking Pregnacare Max.

HolyShmoly · 15/10/2017 14:49

I'm taking Wilkos version of pregnacare. Exact same makeup, but considerably cheaper.
I just got a text from midwife and I'm booked in tomorrow! As it's so last minute I'm going to say the boiler broke and I need to take a half day holiday.
Is there anything I should be asking?

SylvesterTheCat · 15/10/2017 15:57

cuppasarah hope everything is ok.

Might try the Pregnecare. There's no harm in trying, is there? Do excess vitamins that body doesn't need just get flushed out into the loo?

Mummyloves09 · 15/10/2017 16:37

@CuppaSarah how are doing? Have you been epu they could shed some light if needed?

BoofayTheOompaLoompaSlayer · 15/10/2017 17:53

Lots of invite requests today. I can see that there's five outstanding invites to the group. If you've asked to join but haven't received an email, let me know. It could be that your invite has gone to your junk folder or you've given me an email address not associated with your Facebook account.

HolyShmoly · 15/10/2017 17:57

Hi Boofay, I emailed earlier, let menknow if you haven't received it and I'll resend. X

BoofayTheOompaLoompaSlayer · 15/10/2017 18:03

@HolyShmoly, I've sent your invite, it's in the pending invites list on the group. Shall I resend? Check your junk folder though x

BoofayTheOompaLoompaSlayer · 15/10/2017 18:06

I've sent "reminder" invites to all who've emailed but not joined in case the original email didn't get to you!

CuppaSarah · 15/10/2017 18:14

Thank you everyone. I'm going to wait till the weekend and test again with the ics I ordered yesterday. I'll try stay hopeful until them or till I start to bleed.

HolyShmoly · 15/10/2017 18:17

@BoofayTheOompaLoompaSlayer I can't find anything - should it be in email or facebook?

ImogenTubbs · 15/10/2017 18:35

Hello to the ones who've just joined and congratulations! And Shock at being on thread number 2 already.

I've been quiet this week ever since spotting and backache last week with visit to the Dr. Had three days basically lying down taking progesterone, paracetamol and inofolic, before starting to feel much better by Friday. Scary symptoms all but gone now and I have started to notice other things like heartburn, light-headedness and the constant grazing peckishness that someone mentioned upthread.

I have another scan on Tuesday to see whether there has been any growth and whether they can find a heartbeat yet and despite my caution I am allowing myself to feel hopeful. I do so hope I am not disappointed. It's such an agonising time!

BoofayTheOompaLoompaSlayer · 15/10/2017 18:42

@HolyShmoly an email invite. Check your junk folder if you haven't had the email. It would only come up as a fb notification if we were friends on fb.

@ImogenTubbs glad to hear you're getting those symptoms and the spotting has died down. Fingers are crossed for Tuesday. Let us know xx

HolyShmoly · 15/10/2017 18:47

I have checked my spam and still nothing Confused
