New thread!

@rathernotshare congrats on that little girl!!!

Congrats on the girl @rathernotshare

I've got my booster Monday. Then I need to book in for my flu jab for the new year.

16 weeks appointment ended up being today. Midwife didn't turn up yesterday and didn't have her number annoyingly. So messaged the number I had and got a different one today. Everything fine except sugar in my wee so she's going with it being a 1 off but if it's high next time I'll have to do the diabetes test, yay 😒

Lovely news, congrats @rathernotshare! :) I meant to say earlier, hope you’re recovering well from your op and taking it easy.

@beansprout55 How was your scan? Really hoping all ok ❤️

Congratulations @rathernotshare the 4D scans can look a bit alien like can't they 😂

Baby all ok at the 13+3 scan. I really thought the worst - the spotting had increased so so much the last few days. So grateful and relieved x - consultant appointment on Friday so I'm going to push for answers!
The sonographer kept calling the baby "he", several times, DH has now convinced himself she knew and his dreams have come true 😂Really hope he won't be disappointed. The nub theory I've looked at suggests girl!x
@Prema112
Anyway, so happy that we have some good news before Christmas xx

@beansprout55 that's wonderful I'm so happy for you to have good positive news to go into Christmas with x

@beansprout55 Yay!!! I'm so pleased! What a lovely Christmas present! I hope you get some answers from the consultant

Ive come down with common cold (not covid thank god) got a horrible runny nose and watery eyes. Anyone else had it and any home remedies during this time? Should I be worried?

@MrsNT I’ve just recovered from a head cold. It’s brutal. I longed for lemsip to relieve the pressure on my sinuses, but it’s verboten. Saline spray up the nose helps a bit, but you just have to wait it out. Paracetamol doesn’t seem to do much. Snot in addition to the endless nausea is particularly grim.

@alhctps its day 1 for me today so runny nose is quite brutal. I had the flu vaccine but guess it doesnt work on this cold

@MrsNT I had a bad cold a few weeks back (also not covid) and found the best thing was these things called breathe right strips that help open your nose and are completely drug free. Helped me sleep!

I've also got a cold and been doing honey and lemon but could really do with a lozenge for my throat. Are we allowed any?

@matilda30 soothers are definitely ok and the basic strepsils I think are too but not the max ones or anything like that

Talking of soothers.....I had a sore throat a few weeks back and got some halls sugar free. Then I found it's the only thing which keeps my sickness at bay. Do you think it's ok to carry on eating them? They are sugar free?

Think this time of the year we are prone to get a cold but makes me worried about baby

Ok ladies, what do we think? I was sure I saw a wee willy during the scan but now can’t see a nub and that it looks like a girl but I’m still sure it’s a boy!!xx

@GrowBabyGrow thank you!

@pregnancydiaries thats such a cute scan. Although im clueless at determining genders from scan

Ladies is it worth getting the maternity/pregnancy pillow or is it a waste of money?

Is anyone else getting restless legs at night?

Colds aren't a risk to our babies @MrsNT, just focus on resting and getting yourself better.

I'm also keen to hear pregnancy pillow tips - starting to get very uncomfortable at night!

@imhereforthecake. Not restless legs but getting restless sleep at night. Wake up multiple time during the night .never happened before

@MrsNT I am also just recovering from a cold. I just used saline, sucked on glacier fruits and went through lots and lots of tissues! As far as I’m aware colds shouldn’t be an issue, especially if you don’t have a temperature. I had two in my last pregnancy and all was well.
