[sashastuck]

Hi everyone! I think mumsnet cuts threads off at around 40 pages… here’s part 2 for when it does.

So sorry if I’ve tagged anyone I shouldn’t have or missed anyone! X

@PartRadish glad the scan went well
@Firsttimerugbymum thats not too far away! Good to know 👍🏻 x
I shall join the Facebook group shortly !

Congratulations @Vikki7 and @PartRadish on your scans!!

Ask a silly question re the Facebook group, but are friends able to see what groups I’m in? Just conscious I’m way off announcing to anyone else yet and don’t want to give the game away if I join the group. Does anyone know?

@Ttcdcno1 Thanks for setting this up. Joined 👍

Thank you :)

I haven't joined yet and I've just checked, I can see who created the group but I can't see members so you should be okay.

@ItsAJourney I checked this too, it states as it’s a private group only yourself and members can see who else has joined/is a member 👍🏻

@ItsAJourney let me know if you find out the answer, I'm having this worry too 🤣 not sure if it pops up or anything that you've joined?

No I checked my profile once I set it up and it didn’t appear anywhere. It’s a visible group so someone could find it if they were searching for groups and searched ‘January 2024 babies’ otherwise you guys wouldn’t have been able to find it, but only the people it can see who’s in it. Members are private. It shouldn’t come up on profiles either with ‘x posted in January 2024’ etc because it’s private. Hope that made sense!

My profile is set private because I’m a teacher but there is a button to view your profile as someone else would see it so you can check what other people see

press the … button at the top of your profile and then ‘view as’

@Ttcdcno1 😲 I didn’t know such a magic button existed! But they I haven’t used FB in over 10 years 😂. Just updated my cover photo and very proud

Thoughts on eating halloumi from a takeaway if you have no way of checking with them if it’s made from pasteurised milk…??? Am I being over cautious?

@RaspberryTime I’m currently eating all kinds of cheese in Greece(where I have no way of checking pasteurisation etc). I think in uk highly likely to be pasteurised 👍🏻

Hello, is it too late for me to join here? Perhaps the FB group too, if there is one? Really loved MN group (still talk to them daily!) I found when pregnant with DS3 almost 4 years ago now!

I'm due 29th January

@Eirlys1986 That’s what I thought but then started getting the worries about whether I was just trying to convince myself because I really want a halloumi wrap from the chip shop 🙈

Haha @RaspberryTime I just think with stuff like cheeses and cured meats etc the risk of you contracting any infection from them is so low, we don’t worry about it a single bit when not pregnant obviously. I am avoiding cured meat as don’t want to take the pizzle (although I may have eaten a cured meat sandwich in early pregnant first time around without thinking 🤔) 😂

@Eirlys1986 I also read that when it’s cooked it lessons the risk too so am convincing myself back towards the wrap now 😂 As for cured meat, I’m veggie so at least I don’t have that to consider!!

Oh well if you’re veggie you deffo need that halloumi big time! 😛 👍🏻

⬆️ @RaspberryTime

@Eirlys1986 🤣 How could I resist now!!

Halloumi is officially on the same list according to the British Nutrition Foundation, so even from the most cautious pov you're safe:

https://www.nutrition.org.uk/life-stages/pregnancy/dietary-concerns-during-pregnancy/what-not-to-eat-when-pregnant/

To add to that, the risk with unpasteurised cheeses is listeria. Listeria is nasty: 1/3 pregnant women who get listeria miscarry. But 3/10 people who get listeria die. We don't all avoid these foods because listeria is vanishingly rare, fewer than 200 cases a year in the UK. The most common foods affected? Prepackaged hospital sandwiches, and smoked salmon. Cheese hasn't been reported in the data for a while...

Hope this helps!

@Barblarble Thanks for this - I hadn’t seen that website before. It looks a lot clearer than some of the mixed messages on other sites. I’ll be bookmarking that!

Thanks for setting up. I've just requested to join

Hello everyone!

my EDD is 26 Jan so I’m 7 weeks + 1 day!

had my booking appointment phone call with the midwife yesterday and been told this is a low risk pregnancy

I also had a miscarriage at 6/7 weeks in March so just a bit anxious! And the 12 week scan seems forever away….!!!

symptoms wise… I had heavy sore boobs a few weeks ago but now they just feel a bit tense and the sensitive nipples are gone… no nausea so far

hows everyone else’s symptoms like at 6/7 weeks? I’m so grateful I’m not vomitting but also feels worried that I don’t have many symptoms!

Hi everyone I thought I would update you all incase anyone reads through thread with same issue. I went to a&e today with more bleeding the referred me to EPU and then they scanned me they can't find any cause for the bleeding they have requested me go bk to them in 10days as said it was too early to tell anything as I was measuring 5+4 I thought I was 7 weeks today I guess it either a case of being to early and measurements needing to catch up as I don't think my dates are wrong but also no I can't guarantee with implantation was they said altho I am bleeding it also isn't filling a pad an hour and altho is more than they would want it's also not as much as they would expect for worse case scenario. They said what they can see for those amount of weeks looks normal. I did have a private scan on Monday and they also had said I was measuring 5 weeks then so there is the right amount of growth from that scan to today. I am trying to remain positive but that is also quite hard with no explanation. Hopefully in 10days all will be well 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 x

@RaspberryTime I've literally just had halloumi today from a takeaway place, so I'm hoping it's fine 😂

I have everything crossed for you @stressshead hopefully the bleeding stops asap and in 10 days (such a wait, but we're here with you) they give you a clear scan and everything's ok!
