Hi and congratulations to all the new joinees

Thanks for the thoughts and suggestions.

Other half has got quite agonising backache at the moment so one of them's ruled out already...

Shame, I was looking forward to a curry too

(just kidding)

I was looking on a pregnancy website yesterday and I thought this was a really good one...

Wear your best knickers.. s**'* law means your waters will certainly break :rotfl:

for people ttc i used to check https://www.babyhopes.co.uk (0r .com) and it tells you when your ovulating.

hoping all is okay but hard to stay positive. have done some good old googling and might be due to rumpy pumpy on sunday, or late implantation bleeding or things stretching ??

Fingers crossed - I had a very small bleed around the same time and was pretty worried. However, after scaring myself silly with horror stories online, I found one site that said almost half of women have a little bleed somewhere between 5 and 7 weeks.
I do hope this is the case for you.

Hi Emma

Just to say, if you have any bleeding during your pregnancy do see your midwife or GP. It's probably nothing to worry about but you must have it checked out. At the least it'll put your mind at rest.

Let us know how it goes

Take care

Best wishes, Emma. Hope the scan is able to put your mind at rest. xx

I can remember posting on your thread about blighted embryos last year after I miscarried at 8 weeks. I found your advice and experience really helpful and supportive at the time and, happily, am now 14 weeks pregnant.

Keep us updated when you can.

It is hard, but please do stay positive. I lost blood with my third pregnancy and was truely petrified after losing a previous baby. I was about ten weeks at the time. It turned out that all was well. My daughter turned 1 1/2 yesterday. My consultant said that sometimes, it's just one of those things and there's no real reason for it. The bleeding just stopped after a few days.

Get plenty of rest.

Good luck with the scan tomorrow. xxx

I had that with my last pregnancy. My consultant was able to assure me it was from a cervical erosion that had been disturbed during 'marital relations' the night before.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you emma b, let us know how you go.

My scan is next Tues so hoping all is well. Had a mc and mmc so third time lucky this time round I'm hoping. We are so lucky to have dd,3. I am just over 6weeks.

Had to rush to Drs last night after dd developed chicken pox and I need to go and get tested today. Dr said 90% chance i should be immune. O/T but is there any other tips other than calamine lotion for chicken pox?

Calamine in aqueous cream. Your local chemist should stock it. It's much easier to apply than normal calamine lotion. Instead of dabbing a dribbly liquid on with cotton wool, you just rub it into the skin like a normal body moisturiser. Much easier and less messy!

I gave my sons Piriton syrup for the itching too. Both got through it without much discomfort using that and the cream.
