It is so hard to feel excited when you feel so horrendous all the time. With my 3rd baby it was my first case of really bad sickness, and I remember I was about 24 weeks before I felt any excitement at all, because of just feeling so rubbish all the time.
This is so random but has any one had or know anyone that their gender scan has been wrong? I had one at 16
Weeks am 20 weeks on Sunday and got my scan then so I’m intrigued to see if it’s still a boy. I had my girl 4 years ago and they were right both times then but I’ve seen online sometimes they are wrong. Just wondered if anyone had a personal experience
Omg same I had it with last pregnancy too. So heavy all the time even weeing hurts
My first I was told at my 20 week scan, it was a girl. Told at every single growth scan its a girl until my 36 week growth scan they said oh.. A girl? Pretty sure it's a boy. And I now have an 8 year old boy You can't have them whilst pregnant. You have to wait until 12 weeks after
Can't get it done because your cervix is shut, you need to get it after the baby's born (I'm sure it's 3 months after), I got mine saying it's overdue but my GP said just call after your babys born and they'll book you in! X
Thank you both. I wasn't sure but I will call to confirm I will be waiting. One website said it was ok whilst another recommended not to x
Oh god, the smells! I always thought they exaggerates in films but I was genuinely not able to go in the kitchen for the first 12 weeks and still can't even look at a bin or the dishwasher! I also had phantom smells that really got under my nose but I couldn't work out what it was. Am 19 weeks and still get it some days! My partner thinks I'm mental searching and sniffing for something that smells like 'mouldy cucumber' or a 'burnt tea'
Definitely not while pregnant. Mine is overdue, due to Covid, and my consultant reminded me at an appointment I need to wait 3 months after birth and then get it done ASAP.
Thank you! Must remember to not only read the top option on Google!
Pretty sure even if they do do it, pregnancy gives dodgy results
Im so surprised to see that! I think with my first baby I was also due a smear when pregnant and they made a big thing of reminding me to get it done after birth. That’s really interesting to see such different advice.
Yeah I think I'd rather avoid if possible, especially as people with actual experience have been advised to not have it
I’ve never been given a reason as to why it’s not advised, but I imagine part of it is infection risk, partly to do with cervical changes during pregnancy as well, but perhaps someone with more knowledge would know more detail!
Thank you for your reply I’m ok I work at he if I want things like chair etc then I could order off the internet and they just pay for it I work for a really big company which is reassuring. I went out today had a bit of a walk and pushed through the initial pain and felt a bit better I think I am going to have to force myself to get up and move more. Just be careful if you think you have something like this definitely ring the doctor the physio is open and I have had a referral letter already wonder if it will actually work xx
I have started to get bigger now I can’t wear jeans mainly just stretchy things how cute you will have to do a review of the maternity jeans I am intrigued x
Hey I am
Thank you! I know I probably sound very impatient but obvs time isn’t on my side and the Cerazette was my medication for endometriosis. I will sit tight and wait!
Sorry it’s me who responds first but I am wide awake tonight
my advice is do you actually want the job yes or no? Will it fulfil you in the way you want satisfaction money enjoyment etc? I think if they are considering you they think you can do it which says to me you are ready for a step up also what do you have to lose if you don’t get it your job is safe and you can chill. If you do get it think how good it will feel. I am comfy in my job I cba to try and climb at the moment I know I am going to have to side step to go up. The only thing I would think is that if it’s a secondment depending how long for they will then also need to replace you once you go on may leave end your old job will be taken by someone else potentially x
