Thought I’d make us a new thread. Went back through the last couple of pages and will tag posters below. Sorry for anyone I do not tag - nothing personal ☺️

@Jesskir89 I have a kitty and I have to get rid of cat food and litter out in the big bin because the stench 🤢🤮

@barnyb I've never heard of it tbh hun x

@Jesskir89 iv just put it on and it's pretty good. So basically depending on what colour the egg glows, it tells you what tog is recommend.

@barnyb I had one first time around. I didn't use it much really. Maybe first few months.

@barnyb it’s on my list of things to buy :)

@Yvonne1988 yes I imagine once I get the idea I shan't need it. but I'm really anxious about temperature if baby is too hot or cold because it's so dangerous. So I hope not will ease my worries!
@Keyboard91 oh really? Had I heard about them before then? I'd never seen them x

@barnyb lots of people were recommending them on a thread I read during my first pregnancy, and my friend loves hers for piece of mind. Plus I have a broken internal thermostat so I am always cold so I will feel it’s colder than it is and over dress baby at night

Has anyone been going to the toilet a lot lately? I keep weeing, I'm only 10+5
Ridiculous, surely too early to put pressure on bladder xx

@Charly82 I think I was up about 4/5 times last night. I have been like this for a few weeks now

@Keyboard91 ah good ! I don't like spending money on silly useless gadgets ! so that's good you know of it being good! :) xxxx

@keyboard91 see what’s on the baby monitor you buy first as mine has an inbuilt thermometer so I didn’t need a groegg as well.

Had my scan today, measuring 11wks bang on and everything looking good 😊💞

@Naylor19 I would step away from the test and if you can wait for your NHS test, they are usually fairly thorough with situations like yours. I had something very similar in January, I knew my dates so unfortunately it was bad news for me but I had three scans before we made the next steps. Home pregnancy tests are a minefield if you are experiencing a MMC or retained products because your HCG levels can still rise - I miscarried on Jan 17th and I didn't get a negative pregnancy test until March 3rd - it was heartbreaking. My friend had an identical issue with growth scans and her little boy is now three so please don't think it will be bad news for you, I just didn't want to over investing in pregnancy test results when they can mislead. Xxx

@barnyb I've got one but I never really used it with my first as he prefers the dark and most baby monitors have the temperature on them which is helpful. X

@Frillyfarmer ahhh look how lovely ! That's a great picture ! 😍

@barnyb sorry I'm not getting notifications for some reason! Yes I can imagine the litter tray being bad for your sickness too. I've not had much but certain smells get me going and don't even talk to me about the spice cupboard! Lol. And the tog as in the blanket?
@Frillyfarmer congrats what a lovely scam pic!
@Charly82 I'm bad atm too been waking in the night for a wee and I'm bursting!

This thread is definitely active! Loads of posts to catch up on 😊

@ELW85 it may depend on where you live as to when you get your appointment? Always worth ringing them to check. Lots of the ladies on here seem to be getting booking in appointments from 8 weeks onwards but I've been told mine will be after 12 weeks (possibly joint with my scan)

@Frillyfarmer that's such a nice scan pic!! Really clear! So exciting to see I'm sure - was baby moving about?

To those with the tummy twinges, I think your muscles change fairly quickly after the hormones start kicking in. I've sort of pulled my stomach muscles a couple of times this week from sneezing! So strange.

Also not sure if im imagining it but I'm almost sure my lower tummy feels slightly different to touch now, firmer in the centre

@Jesskir89 the tog on the sleep suit things.
Spice shelf floored me for weeks! I couldn't go down that isle in the shops either ! 🤮🤮🤮🤮

@Frillyfarmer - congratulations!! Lovely scan photo :)

@SLT90 - thank you - that’s the funny thing; I had my booking appointment ages ago. I’ll ring them on Monday.

I’ve also pulled a couple of stomach muscles sneezing or just standing up on Friday. So odd!

@barnyb got you! I'll have to invest.
I still keep getting some bleeding me, I'm not too worried as been on and off all week and of course my scan was all ok just yesterday but still in the back of my mind worrying. Anyone else like this?

@Jesskir89 I'm so sorry your having that. I haven't had any bleeding so I can't 100% understand but I am so very anxious all the time.
Worry about everything. I had scan yesterday too and still that wasn't enough.
Xxx

I'm feeling sorry for myself today. Hurts all the way across my stomach from that sneeze this morning. Plus I am so tired right now just want to get in bed but my daughter has a friend over.

@barnyb I never had this last time until 15 weeks then list the baby the week after but it's been on and off for over 2 weeks now so I'm guessing I'll be ok. @Yvonne1988 early night!

@Jesskir89 oh my goodness that's just awful. How bloody awful for you. No wonder your worried ! Literally I would be the exact same.
Such a worrying time. Do u think once you get past 16 weeks and everything is confirmed fine you will relax? my longest pregnancy before was 8 weeks. Now I'm 10 I do feel slightly less anxious but I don't imagine being relax until the baby is breathing in my arms

@jesskir89 I'll have to wait til the kids go to bed. I have trouble sleeping at the moment which isn't helping

@barnyb I'm hoping so. I think I'll relax more towards 20 weeks. I do feel a bit better after my scan but we will see. That was 10 years ago so I'm hoping this is my time. @yvonne1988 try that lavender pillow spray it's been really helping me

@jesskir89 I think I saw one in the Avon book I was going to order next time.
