Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! 2

I'm still taking my Sanatogen tablets and I'm 16 weeks, unsure whether to stop now or not OH's mum is a nurse and she told me to continue taking them. Hmmm.

I think it's a cost cutting exercise Emmylou and also to try and encourage breast feeding I assume. I have heard if you are planning on breast feeding but can't for whatever reason they will still supply the milk for you, but if you know from the start you aren't then you have to take the milk in.

If it helps Boots now do those bottles in a multi pack.

All 3 of my girls are dairy intolerant, so i`ve not breastfed, the last baby having been on a Hypoallergenic formula from birth. I guess i`ll just have to ask my Midwife when i next see her Thanks for the info on the milk tho! x

I keep meaning to ask, have any of you told anyone yet? We were thinking about telling our parents this weekend

We told both sets of parents on Saturday evening after getting the BFP in the morning! It was easiest to do it then as we were all away together so no worrying about who to tell first. I wanted my mum to know straight away and MIL would be likely to feel left out if she didn't know till later so we just did it all together!! the only other person who knows is my brother. EVeryone else will have to wait till after the scan!!

Ah I'd assume in those circumstances they'd help you out, sorry I realise I came across as a bit in your face there, not how it was intended. I know all maternity units differ though

I've had awful headaches/migraines from about 7/8 weeks, no sickness or anything else, only these and boy are they sore I find the only thing to do is lay in a dark room with a cold cloth on your forehead. I have been using the 4head stick too, but I find I have to use it before the head ache is in full swing or it doesn't work.

Hey all
Welcome to all you newbies...big congrats
I am soooo glad you have mentioned acne, my face isnt too bad but I have some beastie ones on my chest and neck, 3 atm but they are very red and nasty, I have had to keep wearing higher tops cos I get a bit self conscious!!
I have had bad headaches today, it helps me if I drink lots and lots during the day...although I have to keep dashing to the loo then!
My scan is in 2 and a bit weeks, I think I will be 13 + 4 by then

Glad to read all your symptoms, makes mine seem normal! On the plus...my hair is lovely at the mo...very shiny and seems to be growing fast.

Oh, and my waist is def thicker, no bump or anything just less of a waist.

xxxxx

No Gilly, u didnt come across in my face at all lol. I`m still a bit in shock at how much maternity units can differ tbh!
I really want some thing nice to eat, like a big bowl of fresh fruit salad....yummy! But that means going to the shops xx

Gillyx

I've got loads of fresh fruit but have eaten like a beast today, not like me either, I've been so healthy for the past few months!
