Hey everyone,

Janine sorry to hear about your doggy he was and will always be your first baby rest assured he will have known he was loved I hope you are feeling better soon

We had our scan today the early scan at our local hospital we got to see beans nice and happy on the screen with a strong heartbeat apparently We are thrilled 7weeks and 3 days she dated me I think that makes EDD 31st Jan however due to past obstetric history it is higly likely that they will induce at 38wks so mid jan ish baby should be here

I did freak out after the scan when she said she was glad to see me as I was the first lady to have a baby which was ok which made me feel special and also a bit sad as when I booked in there was a full list bless all those other mummy's to be.

Symptom wise I seem to be having a sick day and a good day and they are alternating like that anyone else having this ? Bless my boss was waiting for me outside the toilet today with some ginger snaps I was rather touched by that.

I also wanted to ask your advice on my friend, she got married beginning of April and was planning to start a family right away she has a diagnosis of PCOS which has always been doubtful as when she was younger the consultant at the hospital seemed to kind of guess at the diagnosis but its never been confirmed by the cycle mapping blood tests and after she saw the consultant when she was younger he told her about the PCOS and said to her she may need help to conceive she kind of thought what is the point in contraception and stopped it only to fall pregnant 8 wks later yeah you read that right 8 wks after stopping the pill she is a teeny tiny little size 8 and whilst I know its still a possibility I just find her diagnosis questionable but she is quite willing to believe it now you may be wondering what this has to do with me ? she said a few times before the wedding that she thought it would take her ages to get pregnant and she worries about it a lot and ever since I announced my pregnancy to close friends she has avoided me and gone all cold towards me, I think she is upset but she hasn't said so and the distance between us is getting bigger I really miss her and am sad that she isn't a part of my pregnancy yet but just hoping she comes around I havent done anything else to her than make the announcement I can handle her being a little jealous and I may well have felt the same myself if it was the other way around but I would never have treat her how she is treating me.

Anyone got any idea how she might be feeling ? Or any ideas on what I should do I can appreciate she may be feeling sad and want to be sensitive to that but at the same time my pregnancy is a massive deal to me and OH and we are happy about it I cannot hide that from her

Any advice appreciated

Morning everyone. Got up too early today and got a busy day so sure I'm going to start flagging mid-afternoon, just in time for a big party with some family friends! Never mind, with any luck the tiredness will wear off soon and I'll have a couple of months before it kicks back in!!

Amanda, congrats on the scan (and anyone else I missed). It is great to see that little heartbeat, means the world and stops a good bit of the worry which I guess is inevitable with every twinge or strange thing going on.

I don't know what advice to offer about your friend. I've already considered the fact that one or two of my friends may not be as pleased for me as I would like, for their own reasons. It may be a short-term thing while she gets her head around it. If you have problems conceiving it must be difficult to hear someone you are close to is pg. I guess you can only hope that she gets used to the idea and things get back to normal.

DH has talked me into telling people now we are nearly 12 weeks, and last night we told my brother and his sister. My brother cried!! His sister is very excited and we didn't know but she and her OH have been ebaying stuff they no longer need for their 3 year old, so with any luck we'll get a travel cot and some other bits from them. So far we've got beanie a quilt (for me to cross-stitch on - no idea when that will happen!!).

Hope you all have a lovely weekend

Hello Amanda (and all the lovely peeps on here)
It is difficult to say how your friend may be feeling everyone is different but I know that many with pcos genuinely fear that they may never be able to have children even though many with pcos have the children they wish for.
I think that as much as she will be happy for you her anxiety about her situation may mean that she does not want to be around you as it may upset her. This is no reflection on you just could be sadly the situation.
I would somehow let her know that you hope she is ok and that you would love to meet if she wants to, but no pressure so the ball is in her court. There is no easy way to deal with this but clearly you care for her which is lovely.
I also have pcos and was not able to see my friend but she left the ball in my court (I had a mc a few months before she became pregnant) and I have made up for it since the baby was born as I found it easier dealing with baby rather than bump, but believe me I did feel terrible not seeing her but she is a lovely friend and completely understood.
Hopefully given a bit of space things will resolve themselves, but do not take her backing off to heart she is just upset.
Good Luck

A little while ago it was mentioned about left-hand side sleeping. Funnily enough I would never ever sleep on my left side as was always uncomfortable so always went to sleep on my right. But have been sleeping on left hand side mostly for weeks now as its more comfortable and now find the right hand side uncomfortable!

I have read about all the lovely M&S naughty desserts being consumed and am very jealous! I seem to dream about food then when it comes to the next day feel sick so struggle deciding what can tolerate, have not cooked for weeks hubby is in charge so its all bit random as feel worst at tea time and five a day has gone out of the window!
I may have driven him nuts last nite though as begged him to get fish & chips at 7pm, he promtly ate half (even though he ate a whole pizza earlier and said would not be able to eat any fish & chips!!) then gave me half, I ate 1/4 then promptly.....censored.... I might add that he did say it was not a good idea and that the smell would not make me feel good...seems for once hubby was right:eek: Am currently under the duvet which seems to be an all too regular occurrence and hoping to be able to have some waffle with maple syrup via room service later lets hope this is a good choice..:rotfl:
enjoy your weekend all

Hello

No morning sickness yet, want it to come now, even if just for a bit!! Went out and bought a bucket today to put by the bed just incase lol.

Does anyone know what is safe to take for heartburn?

Thanks

hi everyone, hope your well - I've jumped to the other thread now so havent posted for a bit (14w tomorrow) but thought you might like to know the conversation me and DD had earlier today:

DD: mum, do we need bottles for the baby?
Me: hm, eventually but to beging with mummy will feed it with mummy milk
DD: where do you get mummy milk
Me: It comes out of mummy's boobies
DD (looking disgusted) Well why dont you just take the baby to nana's and get the milk out the fridge when she'd not looking if we cant afford buy any !!!

(DD is 3!)

ANYWAY - in case any of you havent seen it - nip onto the grabbit board and theres a code for 45% off at Dorothy Perkins - It INCLUDES some maternity clothing.

Have a nice evening everyone and see you on t'other board soon

Mozzy - as with all medicine advice - you should speak to your doctors (plus we got told off for giving med advice on MSE lol) xx

mozzy I've been taking Rennies, the back of the packet said they are suitable in pregnancy (no med advice mods just what I've been doing)

Apparently some Gaviscon products are suitable too but I'd ask a pharmacist about that.

mozzyc

Great thanks. Mimi - thanks, but I thought its just indigestion, just wanted everyone else's thoughts. There's only really gaviscon and rennies, and wasn't sure what was best. But also just read rennies are ok, so thanks Gillyx!

This conversation reminded me that it was only a week or so ago it occurred to me that as much as I had watched what I'd been eating and taking etc, I'd still happily been chomping indigestion tablets whenever I wanted! I have since checked the packet and they just have a reduced max per day for pregnant women, so I guess I'm fine, phew..

Been around telling parents today. They seem pretty chuffed - showed them the scan so they could try and work out which end of the baby was which! My mum reckons she already had suspicions. Was quite a nice thing to do for my dad on father's day too:)
