Oh no thanks for the warningThe chewable ones are worse I'm sorry to say! Look at the reviews of them on boots. I wish I had before I bought themthey are vile and they stick to your teeth (the pregnacare ones) I ended up just buying a mint flavoured spray vitamin D, and a seperate folic acid as it was teeny on its own and more manageable.
I haven’t had personal experience but have a family member with thyroid issues. I think if it goes Unmedicated then there is a risk as the body can work overdrive with hormones but the positives are you are way past 12weeks which is where any mediation can be tricky. I would imagine it would be a bit of mediation to level you out and regular bloods.Gahhh I'm a bag of worry todayhad my 12 week blood results back finally (I'm 16 weeks now!) I'd been going along the "no news is good news" thing but my thyroid levels are way out.
I'm not hugely familiar with the different levels, but TPO levels should be under 35, mine are 235.... And my TSH is a little high at 5.
The midwife said this shouldn't affect baby, just me and my energy levels, but I've previously heard that thyroid issues can raise the risk of late miscarriage or preterm delivery
Has anyone experienced this at all?
Sending you a massive hug!
Ahaha oh this made me laugh so much poor thingSo I ordered some tiny clothes on H&M and wanted to send a picture to my mom, because they're so adorable. The look on my cat's face though

I'm around 14/15 weeks now and still no visible bump. But I figure she'll show up soon enough, for now I'm happy I can still fit in my jeans
Good to know that lots of you also had no or only a tiny bump in the early weeks.
I had an anterior placenta with my son, and twin 2 who's a boy this time round also has an anterior placenta. Sorry to kill the tale offAnother one of the old wives tales is if you have a posterior placenta it’s a boyI find some of the old wives tales ridiculous
Ahh I'm due 24th July!15th July!I had to go to the assessment unit 2 weeks ago which is right next to the corridor to the central delivery suite, it definitely scared me a little bit
Haha, did you hear screams ) but my pregnancy is high risk? That's what's ticked in my notes anyway, should I be going out on site? I haven't had a risk assessment at work or anything) sorry for the rambling just can't find any info!My braxton hicks felt like someone was squeezing my belly or tying a belt tight around it. Whereas my labour pains were more like period pains that got more intense.Can anyone who has already had a baby share their experience with labour starting? I’ve been having pains on and off all day and have googled it and still unsure if this is something starting or not
Yes you definitely can. Pretty much any packaged meat is fine
I did.That’s a weight to be proud ofDid you have a normal delivery with your second? I have hoped for a home birth but feel I may go to hospital to be on the safe side. They don’t want me to get to 40 weeks but I’ve definitely taken their estimates with a pinch of salt as like you where told - it can all be very wrong
that was more down to the birth rather than her weight thoughI’ve noticed Tesco seems to come up really small! Is your baby still wearing newborn now?I think on the last thread we were talking about sizing of clothes... here is a perfect example.
bottom one is Matalan, top one is Tesco. Both newborn!

I posted a couple of days ago that I had been having a lot of period like cramps and some backache and wondered is labour was impending (almost at due date now!). Since Thursday evening I've had a consistent tightening across my middle and top of my bump which I've not experienced this pregnancy as of yet! The only thing is, it's still happening.. there's no build up it's just consistent but it feels like I constantly need the toilet (sorry if TMI!) and nothing is easing the pains. Last night I barely slept and was throwing up for a long time. Did anyone else experience this at all? I spoke to my mum this morning who has said I should call the hospital but I'm so worried it's all just a false alarm and I don't want to waste their time XSame with me! Still lots of period cramp like pains and back pain but nothing has changed. How are you feeling x
Awww congrats!! XxHello ladies! My little Dot arrived on Monday at 23:09 weighing 8lb 5oz!
The induction was completely fine!! In the end I didn’t need the gel I was already dilated so they just broke my waters and she came 11 hours later after about 3 hours of active labour and 2 pushes
Thanks so much for the info
I’m so new to all this and I was really worried because of my age (34) after my hospital scan today they said I am very low risk so I’m just being extra cautious by getting the NT done privately and also because my husband can attend 
I'm 10+5....I think im worrying over nothing as I've come into the work kitchen for lunch and and smell of everyone's lunch nearly made me retch.
Ooooh I'm going for this too. Did you get it from online4baby? Which colour?! I like the grey and the sage colourWe’ve gone for the joie versatrax bundle. Saw it in the shops and really liked it, felt nice to push and not too heavy etc. I ordered it when it was on as pre order thinking it wouldn’t come for at least a month but it turned up the following week
Just googled yours, looks really nice! Similar colour to mine, can’t go wrong with grey
The amount of nappies we (I used to work with one of the nappy libraries) used to quote was minimum 24 - 12 on the bum, 12 in the wash. That includes if you want to do overnight too. I don’t (haven’t found anything that stands up to my champion pissers!) so I would use about 7/8 nappies a day. I currently have 20 nappies for a younger baby, and I wash every day and a half. But they very quickly draw it out to only needing 5 or so changes a day (again not including nights) so then I could have fewer nappies, but I just wash less frequently. You can always buy some and see how you get on, and add more in if you find you need them.Yess I feel you! I was doing some research on reusable nappies as I really want to give them a go and some of the websites said to make sure you buy 30 nappies so you can do up to 12 changes per day. Every two hours(obviously I know babies need changing very often but this put it in perspective a bit!)
I am 17 weeks 4 days and if I wear jeans you can’t see any bump, only if I wear leggings and a bra can you notice it.Ladies, in what weeks did you start showing? I’m 14 weeks and I’ve not a hint of a bump
She is, but over the past few months her behaviour on many fronts has been..... questionable... shall we sayHaha she might beis she a close friend? She sounds a bit over familiar in a way you’re not comfortable with!
NooooIt lasts your whole pregnancy unfortunately
