July 2018 Babies

[HarryPotterandtheSAHM]

I thought I’d start this thread now as I can’t see one yet! I got my bfp this weekend on a digital and estimate my due date to be 1st of July, but I have long cycles so I’m anticipating it changing at a dating scan. Anyone else with me for end of June or beginning of July 2018?

@Unicornberry I pm'ed you about the FB group :) is that correct or do I need to pm @Igh05 too?

@Hulaballoo I know how you feel. Finding out early really makes everything feel long doesn't it?! My symptoms are very mild too like you Bluebirdsky and Igh05
I had my long awaited call from the midwife today so I have my booking in appointment on 29th November and scan date to follow. I really hope it will be before Christmas but I doubt it as I will be 12 weeks on 22nd December!
Congratulations to all the new BFPs!

@Hulaballoo it’s @Unicornberry that’s sorting out the group! She will get you on! Glad you feel a little better than before. We have to all be realistic too that actually our hormones are going crazy so we will feel unhinged, and that’s okay because we are all growing babies! Our bodies are going through a lot right now!

@lgh05 that's a really good point and makes me feel a bit better about being so crazy of late!

@Unicornberry I would really like to join the Facebook group but no one knows I am preg yet so will they see if I join the group?

I have just done a cb (seriously I am obsessed) and got a 3+ clinging to the hope that means that my Bhcg is rising well and it's a uterine pregnancy 🤞

Aww @Bluebirdsky hopefully that’s good news getting 3+ 😊

@Unicornberry I hope not as no one knows I am apart from a few very close friends

They can’t see anything, it’s a secret group, I got my friend to check my news feed to see if anything came up and it didn’t, so you are safe!

@Bluebirdsky congratulations that would be my interpretation of those results too if that were me!! Xx

The group is secret, none of your friends can see your in it or your posts I will go on desktop and answer PMs and add more people now

Thanks @lgh05 keeping everything crossed

@Unicornberry I would like to join then please

Hi I’ve come over for the other group! I’m 5 + 2 now feel like time is going sooooo slow x

@unicornberry Can I also join please?! 😊

Welcome @18mnthsandcounting I am 5+1 and totally agree about the dragging!

@bluebirdsky @cronxgirl27 and anyone else wanting to join, send me a PM with a link to your Facebook profile

Has anyone been advised on how much caffeine is safe/advisable? Google is giving me different answers and I'm worrying myself because today I've had two coffees and some coke with my lunch, I know it's just a one off but sometimes I let anxiety get the better off me.

I hope everyone's feeling okay this evening.

Looked into this as I’m a bit of a caffeine but. From what I can tell it’s 200mg a day. For me this equates to 2 cups of tea and 1 can of coke...

*nut even!

@ijustwantcake I think it's 200mg a day but I'm sure it's fine being a one off... I think of continuously over there limit regularly. Instant coffee between 27-173mg a mug, filter coffee 100-200mg a cup. Can of Coke 330ml about 25-45mg. Diet coke 45mg a can

I'm on decaffeinated coffee and tea and it's really not too bad... 👍 then I feel a bit less guilty and can have the occasional chocolate. 😛

I’m on decaf too actually doesn’t taste too bad!

I'm really worried now as I've been taking the recommended dose of folic acid but just read something that said larger women should be taking more. I can't get to the drs until Thursday :(

@winter I wouldn't worry too much, just start taking the higher dose now :)

Thanks everyone, probably going to pick some decaf up tomorrow and ween my self off caffeine

Why what does are you meant to take I am just taking pregnicare is that enough

*dose
