Yup. Mega bloated. Plus it doesn't help I have to wear a belt around my hips!! Being pregnant last time messed with the ligaments around my pelvis so I wear a really tight belt thing to hold my pelvis back together. It defo doesn't help with digestion!! Haha!!

@peachesarenom hahahah!!! Yup! That's totally what it means!! While I was waiting for the blood test results I went "browsing" in baby shops! I refuse to acknowledge the pregnancy yet. (Obviously not drinking or licking pate or anything) but until I see a scan it's not real. My mum bless her has started up the knitting again!! And OMG!! The prams are my favourite part. But I guess I have the nursery designed already from last time, and I know what car seat etc. Pram is still up for debate. Clothes I'll take a lot of hand me downs from my best mate. But I refuse to buy anything at all until after 12 weeks. I'll start thinking about it again at 8 weeks (if the second scan goes well) and I'm even refusing to download baby apps and stuff!! Haha

I've also refused to download baby apps this time! Last pregnancy I downloaded them when I found out an then I was sitting on the epu waiting room after the scan deleting them all & trying to stop the emails! 😞 So defo not looking at anything until I've had a scan this time! X

xLeanne128 · 13/04/2018 08:23

I'm the same @cakelaur whilst I acknowledge I'm pregnant I'm not thinking about it or allowing it to be real yet just want everything to be ok, for us all xx

🤞🙏🌈

Beck1988 · 13/04/2018 10:25

Just been reading the epu website page at my hospital & hospital slightly further away and both say you either have to get referred by a doctor or of self referral you have to of had at least 2 miscarriages! 😞 Gonna try an beg the doctor to refer me but they usually aren't very good! Otherwise it will be private £45 scan at 7weeks! Seems like forever away.

peachesarenom · 13/04/2018 10:38

Did you see the epu when you had your mc Beck1988? Just call them. I always find they are easier going and have more empathy than others

peachesarenom · 13/04/2018 11:15

I got the best sleep with my dream genie pillow by the way!

Beck1988 · 13/04/2018 11:23

@peachesarenom yes I went the epu for scan when I had miscarriage. Think I'm gonna fone docs today & try get appt for next week, if they don't seem like they are gonna refer me il phone epu & try to get in b4 I book a private one just not holding onto any hope. The silly thing is my sis is a midwife in the same hospital so I no if I told her she could prob have a word an get me in, but didn't want to tell anyone till I no everything's ok, my family don't even no I had the miscarriage! X

Martydog · 13/04/2018 12:03

Its only just 12 noon and I'm starving. I'm not looking forward to going back to work on Monday I am soo tired.

peachesarenom · 13/04/2018 12:15

Good luck Beck1988 I hope GP does it.

I just had a massive brunch! Nom!

Beck1988 · 13/04/2018 14:50

Just phoned doctors & they haven't even got any appt to book me in for next week! Gita phone up on the day early & try an get one 😡 To fit around work & school pick up! Rubbish doctors!

Martydog · 13/04/2018 15:11

Note to self don't have Pizza Hut for lunch for the next few months. I feel really sick 🤢🤢🤢

peachesarenom · 13/04/2018 15:44

I hurt my back getting up from the loo!

peachesarenom · 13/04/2018 15:57

OMG! You've really got to know what you want to say to the EPU when you call them! What did you say cakelaur? When I called, I just said that I was told to ring back if I got pregnant and they said 'no, this is an emergency department, then I told them my name and they said 'I recognise you, you can come in on...' Lol! No letter for permission from work but they will give me a discharge note!

Beck1988 · 13/04/2018 16:06

@peachesarenom that's fab hopefully mine will be just as good! How many weeks will you be when u go in then? Is that all you said to them?

peachesarenom · 13/04/2018 16:15

I was literally on the phone for less than 30 seconds, they told me to call if I was preggers again for a scan at 5 weeks so that is what I did! It might be because I had gestational diabetes last time? Dunno.

peachesarenom · 13/04/2018 16:39

I think you should call them too
Beck1988!

peachesarenom · 13/04/2018 17:45

Having bad diarrhoea and cramps, super worried.

peachesarenom · 13/04/2018 17:55
