I think it's a nice idea Mishka but I hope you won't mind if I don't do it? I'm trying desperately to not count the days to help me with my chilled out approach to this pregnancy.

Good luck with the meeting rjh. How exciting!

So pleased the scan went well Gemma.

Well done for submitting the essay Student_Mrs - hope you managed to have a lie-in this morning.

I'm just 4 weeks Mishka. Went to the doctor today, as I only got my BFP yesterday, but am a teacher and was in contact with children with slapped cheek syndrome (parvovirus). I had to go to the hospital and they've taken a blood sample to test if I have immunity to the virus, as it can cause harm to the baby. The results take 3 weeks to come in, so I've booked a double appointment for 3 weeks' time to get the results and do my booking in appointment all being well. I've also been prescribed a higher dosage of folic acid, as Moon had a sister who sadly died 2 days after she was born from spina bifida, so they are being precautionary. Have got to get some vitamin D tablets too, as these weren't prescribed, and I can't take the pregnancy vitamins as well as the folic acid, as the folic acid levels would be too high then as they obviously contain this.

Is anyone else having trouble sleeping? I am having really strange dreams, waking up really hot, having strange crampy stretchy feelings in my lower tummy, and was up at 4am today. Have had a 45-minute nap this evening, and I'm going to try and get an early night tonight. I'm hoping I sleep better.

Sorry, I've just read that all back, and it sounds like I'm being a right moaning Minnie. Just needed to get it off my chest, so hope no-one minds.

Could I ask what is possibly a stupid question

I have noticed a few people saying they are so many weeks plus i.e. 10+6 what does this actually mean?

This is my first pregnancy so I am a bit of a novice at the terminology.

I had the issues sleeping in the early days. From about 4-6/7 weeks for me. Then it settled. Now I just sleep like a mad thing lol. Once my sickness began to go off a bit around the 9 week mark the tierdness hit me like a truck for about 2 -3 weeks.

All it means is that they are so many weeks, and so many days.

So 10+6, is 10weeks and 6days x

Sexymouse it all sounds normal to me.
I've had odd dreams (well odder than my normal ones) since about a week before my BFP, including one where Tim Minchin was my gynae My DH says I feel like a furnace in bed as I'm that warm and I have woken up sweating a few times.
I've been absolutely knackered and been falling asleep between 8 and 9 but if I get woken up I can be awake for hours. I fell asleep about 8:30 last night on the sofa, came to bed about 10 then I woke up about 2:15 just before DH came to bed and then I was wide awake for two hours. I was even giggling at something not that funny at one point, DH was not impressed

Thanks everyone for the well wishes, just had chips in the end and suffering for it today, always upsets my tummy a bit to have greasy food and must be extra sensitive at the mo! And we didn't come last, even though most of my team were quite drunk by the end of the quiz!

Sexymouse- try not to worry about your blood tests (I know easier said than done), have you thought about asking them if you can take lower dose folic acid plus pg vits? Would that still be too much? Only reason is (and could be conicidence), since I switched from just FA to multi-vits I feel tonnes better and not as sick or tired.

I didn't have constipation at all last time, I go the other way for some reason.

For tiredness I used to have a 30 minute power nap when I got in from work before doing tea which seemed to help. can't do it now as DD would jump on me til I woke up!

Off to my mum and dads later with DD, then may nip to matalan, they have some nice looking tunic tops that may be suitable for bumps and only £7.

Hope everyone else is good and has a lovely weekend.

11 weeks today!
