Lovely, thank you for your reply. Lots of helpful information!
as it’s in my urine at the moment will I need antibiotics now as well as during labour?
seeing my community midwife Thursday so I will take the letter they sent me today. The report says amoxicillin and nitrofurantoin
How many weeks are you?
Normally they don't bother giving antibiotics until labour as it isn't something that affects you. Majority of women have it and will never know

I'm pretty sure it's a girl!

Just for fun there's also a Chinese gender predictor online if you Google it... Mine was right although there was always gonna be a 5050 chance haha. But there was a Mumsnet thread a while ago where most of them said it was right!
That prediction said girl too 🥰

Ugh noo! Does it get at all better throughout the day?

I had a headache from Sunday afternoon to last night which has now gone thank god - it was horrible! Really unwilling to take paracetamol atm unless I absolutely have to.

I also had my booking appointment (40 min phone call followed by an in person appointment) and the midwife was so lovely, I’ve heard lots of people getting fobbed off so think I’ve really lucked out with mine!
That’s so good you had a proper appointment. Mine was about ten minutes and when I saw the notes she ticked that she had discussed loads of stuff with me that she hadn’t grr

Hi everyone! Not sure if this is right thread to post on but I need some advice! I’ve just taken this pregnancy test as not been feeling myself, come off pill around 7 weeks ago! I have this result below, it come up within the time frame! I never took my eyes off it watching it develop! However the other pics is a fresh test which hasn’t been used and it already has a line on? I’m going to test again tomorrow morning but it’s driving me maaaad :( x

I thought implantation happened at like 10dpo or something? I had pink when I wiped around that time (3 weeks ago) and thought that was it. Am I being really thick?
I’ve always thought the same. It would happen around time of implantation, I’ve never heard of it happening late to anyone. And in 5 pregnancies I’ve never once had implantation bleeding. But I have heard of lots of spotting through pregnancy, and all has been well ❤

@PineappleTopper congratulations, I remember seeing your post on the TTC thread! I think we’re due around the same time, start of October 🥰

I’m booked in for an early scan, it’s actually on Valentine’s Day just to be extra cheesy haha! I’ll be almost 8 weeks by that point.

Has anyone else struggled with keeping it a secret? I 100% am going to buy I would love to tell our families and friends, especially to get advice from those who are already mums! It feels like such an overwhelming time to not know exactly what’s normal and what’s not.

I watched one born every minute last night though, one of the women on it was so calm and collected she didn’t even make a noise when she was pushing! I was reading about water births as I think that’s what I’d like to have although it’s a longgg way off yet.

Hope everyone’s doing ok today! ❤
 
Hey ladies random question, when I was pregnant with my son my boobs were sore, but this pregnancy my nipples are on fire (only just started - 15 weeks tomorrow) I stopped breastfeeding about 6/7 months ago so not sure if this is why but can anyone recommend anything that will help they are so painful!!! Boobs not a problem but nipples oh my Christ 😂😱😱
 
We've had a girl name picked out since forever that's the only one we have no back up, the boy name we loved last time we used and only had that one, now we have no boys names for this pregnancy 🙈 this pregnancy feels so different to my last one so who knows it could be a girl!! Is anyone finding out early through a private scan?? Xx

Just had my screening results back - low papp-a which means growth scans, didn't have this with my little boy anyone else have this?
I think low papp-a is linked to your placenta not working as well or something like that? So they keep an eye on baby to make sure they're getting what they need to grow?

We’ve done a doorstep visit for grandparents, and other people have knocked on at ours with presents and we’ve chatted from the door.

My mil said about having a hold once she’s had the vaccine as she’s due it soon. Don’t think she realises that a vaccine won’t = a hold 😬
yeah not sure how I feel about holds.....may wear a sling to avoid that scenario

Slight cramps again today and some brown spotting. Trying to tell myself it’s ok but it’s still worrying. I’m glad we have a scan again on Saturday but I am tempted to see if they can get us in earlier to check it’s all ok in there.

Another question from me 😂😂

I’m potentially going to be booked in for a C section, I find out at 32 week scan. But i can’t get my wedding ring and engagement ring off due to swelling, does it need to come off?
I think if you can't get them off, they can possibly tape over them? 🤔

Just got a letter from the midwife! My 12 week scan is on Wednesday 24th February. I will see a midwife after for blood tests. Really exciting.

No mention of booking appointment over the phone at 10 weeks. Wonder if that’ll happen or just straight to the scan. Also its not at the hospital I thought it would be at. I’m moving further away soon and closer to the other one in the area so I hope it’s fairly straightforward to switch when we move.
It may be because it is a twin pregnancy that you have been sent to a certain hospital? I had a brief telephone booking Then a more detailed face to face midwife appointment after my 12 week scan but each place does it differently.

Wish I knew the answer for that. My boobs are always sore but keep getting actual shooting pains through my nipples 😂
Never had it before and nothing stops it!
