Pregnancy group for anyone due in March 2021 💜

@Phie04 oh that's weird? We can use the nhs app or they've given us a separate number to phone to book it

@JTB123 we'll wait don't worry 😂

@Babafarmer great news with your results 💕

@aureliacecilia probably won't be but I'll keep you in mind if we need to start a new thread! Take all the time you need, run up to the scan can be very stressful.. same here with the acne, it can be so irritating/sore 🥴

@Babafarmer those are great results, is that from the combined test or from a NIPT? My results are worrying me more now, I'm booking a NIPT for later this week.

@Wren1986 they were from the combined. I really don't think they are that accurate. I would get the harmony if it makes you feel easier. Your results are still great. Anything over 1:150 is good xx

Guys i think I'm going to have to remove my "friend" from social media (I don't see her that much anyways) because everytime i post something about my pregnancy she posts something about hers and tries to one up me and she also was only really talking to me when I thought i was having a miscarriage but as soon as i told her everything was okay nothing she didn't even read the message and this was weeks ago and I mean weeks ago. Do you think removing her is the right thing to do? ( I'm not talking to her about she's always been really too faced and I've never really trusted her)

@Phie04 I asked my midwife about that at my first telephone appointment and she told me to contact my GP surgery once September arrived as that is around the time surgeries tend to start offering it. Mine is booked in for 19th xxx

Thanks @Mrs1989 I may call tomorrow or just pop in as today I was on the phone for an hour trying to get through! Every time I call up im near the number 30 in the wait queue!!

@chloxhunt you need to do what you think is best. If you really feel like she isn't being supportive you could speak to her about it. Otherwise perhaps just leave her to it. You don't want conflict during pregnancy the stress isn't good and its just not worth it! Try and surround yourself with supportive people!

@Phie04 yeah I know it's not and I don't want to bring my baby up in that environment I think the best thing would be to sort of remove her from my life, my boyfriend thinks she's not talking to me cause I happen to be pregnant at the same time which is literally not my fault and she was so supportive at the begging she was the first person i told and now I'm getting this, I haven't got the energy for it but I also don't want to remove her if that's immature you know?

@chloxhunt don't remove her it may cause unwanted conflict. If it were me I'd just act normal and approach the situation if she decides to message

@Phie04 yeah you have a point but I literally cannot post anything about my pregnancy without her posting something within literally minutes with the same emojis even

@chloxhunt I can imagine its frustrating just try to ignore it 😁

@Phie04 yeah I'm trying but I feel like I'm not going to be able to fully enjoy my pregnancy because of it! God knows what she's going to do once i post my announcement on Friday

@Phie04 bless you! My GP surgery used to be exactly the same! No chance of getting through on the phone and they even stopped offering appointments over the phone! Instead, you had to queue first thing in the morning (you had to arrive at least half an hour before opening to be anywhere near the front of the queue), see what was available that day and then return later if they had a free appointment! It was appalling! Fortunately, they found failings a while back, dismissed a GP, changed the surgery’s name and it’s vastly improved! You can get through straight away and make appointments on the phone! This is no disrespect to GPs, nurses and everybody else who works very hard, but one of the things I have a huge problem with is when there is a postcode lottery with health services.

@chloxhunt you could unfollow her without unfriending her so it wouldn't start a conflict but you also wouldn't have to see any of her posts

@KatieG200394 came here to say just that! Just mute her from your news feed @chloxhunt and then you can be blissfully ignorant of anything she's doing, without opening any cans of worms.

@chloxhunt I agree with @KatieG200394! If it's on Facebook there's an option to take a break from someone which limits what you see from them and what they can see on your page. Means you don't have to get rid of her and potentially cause drama/an argument!

I had my appointment with the midwife this afternoon over the phone, for my health history. Apparently I will likely be consultant led because I’m over 40. Even though I am low risk as far as my health history is concerned and previously pregnancies and births have been problem free 🙄 How bloody ageist is that! And I will have to have the gestational diabetes test because I’m over 40.

@KatieG200394 yeah but it's when she sees mine she'll post something

@holb54 that's a shout do they gets notification for it though?

@holb54 she'll still be able to see my stuff though if I've posted something

@chloxhunt double check it but not as far as I know! You put them on a restricted list and limit what they see and defo don't get notifications

@holb54 ahh okay! Thank you! I'll definitely do that!

@aureliacecilia I'm new to this group and Mumsnet and would love to be included in the facebook group. Think it's a great idea!

I'm 13+4, due March 12th with our 2nd

Congratulations to everyone else. Love the bump and scan pictures!

@chloxhunt you can change privacy settings when you post so that it’s either public (shows the glove) only friends (friends) or your own list (cog icon I think) I do this when I don’t want certain people to see things.

@Oldermum80 I've just done take a break! I've removed her off of Snapchat though (she can still contact me though so it won't be obvious)
