[TheDaydreamBelievers]

Thought it might be an idea to create a splinter group as the main one is getting massive!

Im 5+3 weeks, first time mum
Midwife telephone appt 13/10
Scan 03/11

Feeling burpy, bloated, and anxious!

@mrswilso my heart goes out to you, I’m so sorry. I’m glad we got to chat with you through this and wish you well! Take care of yourself and take all the time you need ❤️ Virtual hugs

@mrswilso I am so so sorry. Please be kind to yourself and give yourself the time you need to process this

@mrswilso so sorry! Take care x

@mrswilso oh no, I am so sorry to hear your news, my heart goes out to you. Please take care of yourself ❤️

Hi all. Haven’t used this before so no idea if I’m using it right.
I’m from Glasgow and currently just over 4 weeks with my first pregnancy. Very excited and terrified at the same time.

@mrswilso I am so sorry to hear your news and sending you hugs x

@Gaxy1 welcome to the group! Plenty NHS ggc folk here (including me, at 8 wks +4)

@mrswilso so sorry, take care of yourself 💖

@rosegoldivy ahh yes I really never thought of that to be honest, probably the best explanation!

Just got my appointment through for 20 week scan, 10th December.. nightmare as my eldest will be getting out of school before I manage to get home so not really sure what I can do!

@mrswilso I am so sorry. Take care of yourself. Sending you a virtual hug x

@mrswilso so sorry to hear this! I hope you're ok. Sending big hugs!

@queenbee95 you could phone them and ask if they could change the time or the date of the appointment? I phoned last time to ask if I could change the date of my 12 week scan as I wanted it before Xmas and they managed to reschedule it for me.
Worth a try 😊

@gaxy1 hello and welcome! The more the merrier!

I changed my scan last time as it was during my 2 nights on at work. Just changed it for the next day. So I might need to do the same again

Sorry to hear your news @mrswilso - please take care of yourself!

I've just started 'baby aspirin' due to my BMI... realised it's dissolvable stuff and want to cry! I'd rather just tablets!

Look after yourself @mrswilso

@ScottishStardust you can still just swallow the dispersible aspirin. Be quick because it will dissolve in your mouth, but it's much better.

@ScottishStardust is baby aspirin just aspirin? I need to start taking that from next week too (if all ok tomorrow). Are the same thing?

Actually I've just looked and it just says 75mg aspirin. Is 'baby aspirin' any different..?

@Daffodil21 baby aspirin is the 75mg stuff :)

@swiftt ah ok, thank you! Never taken aspirin before so no idea on normal doses etc!

No it's just usual aspirin but lower dose than the standard from the shop (although I believe some shops do lower doses!). Sorry for the confusion.

Good to know about just swallowing the tablet though @singleandttc that'll be tomorrow nights trick!! Thanks

@ScottishStardust I will be on it too following my scan next week, I am getting consultant lead because of BMI, are you? They just said will get extra scans etc.

12 weeks today and nausea has turned into daily sickness hallelujah atleast once sick I feel better than the all day long nausea, 1st hospital scan on Tuesday and then we are going to tell our DD, I feel so bad for her she keeps appearing when I am being sick or feeling lousy so have had to tell her I had a poorly tummy after eating something yucky and trying to not make her worry, we bought her a book about what's happening to so we can read that together and help her understand!

Hope everyone is keeping well xx

Hi @barbiemummy20 they haven't said out loud but looking at my notes in the app in Midwife / Consultant led so maybe a bit of both? Yeah I already have my 28 weeks scan date booked in, but not my 20 weeks haha! I was 12 weeks yesterday with my scan on Tuesday as well - I just started the aspirin yesterday as I know my dates are accurate (previous private early scan).

Glad you're feeling better. I've been lucky and not been feeling too bad! Just the tiredness hits me hard after a full days work! I feel for anyone who has had morning sickness, unsure how I would have coped!

@ScottishStardust @barbiemummy20 do you mind me asking what your BMI has to be before its consultant led? Thanks

Not good news today I'm afraid. HGC not even close to doubling so now on the way to the EPU, but it's pretty much just to confirm at this point

@Daffodil21 I am so sorry, take good care of yourself and all my best wishes
