Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! Part 3

Mrs_T_M

Can't add myself to the list yet, as I'm out and on my phone. Nurse said that I was doing everything right (re vitamins and such) and put me down for a booking appt with the midwife 11 November, said I will be 4 weeks tomorrow, and confirmed what I had calculated, that my EDD is 20 June 2014! Just as a side note, DH's birthday is 6 June! Looks like we will be able to tell people at Christmas!!!

I'm in hiding at the mo, doesn't seem real yet, even though we had a 6 week scan on Monday. Just wanted to say to Mrs Happy, I'm due 1st June, my egg collection was 7th Sept and ET 10th Sept, so maybe those dates will help you work out due date? x
6+5

Thanks for that, will have a look at the dates a bit later, my LMP date would be the 5th June, collection the 4th and transfer the 7th I think, so not much in it.

Re Healthy Start vitamins (I'm in Scotland so may differ elsewhere) We can buy HS vits in chemists for about £1.70, to be eligible for them to be free you need to be eligible for Healthy Start Vouchers

I managed to scrounge some from a MW friend, but will be buying them when this tub finishes.

How do you get these green coupons the website talks about?

I cannot use those at all. I'm not allowed benefits until my ILR is granted next year.

As an extra question: one of the ladies who lives on the street adjacent to mine (who had a baby last winter), has a pram and a high chair sitting out in their front garden, and it looks like they're getting thrown out. They've been out in the rain today, but do you think it's worth asking about them?

I am sure asking has no harm. If its going free and they don't mind its all good.

Just had gammon egg home made wedges with beans. We normally eat really healthy but I needed some fatty foods!

Sophiasmum - wish my scan was on the 31st! Xx

Haven't asked about them yet, but I'll go out in the morning (or whenever I wake up) and ask about them.

We had 'bean burger' or cooked mince with baked beans, over cheese on toast. I've been eating way more meat and protein lately. I swear, this baby is going to be a definite carnivore...:o

Your midwife should let you know if you are eligible when you have your first appointment as the application needs to be signed by a midwife or health visitor. They are means tested and only available if you are on certain benefits with an income below a certain level.

sophiasmum

well - I had a Chinese take away last night.... yuk!
Was hoping I wouldn't go off Chinese as I have done in pregnancy previously - but I wont be having that again. Not sure what it is - I just prefer plainer foods, give me a plate of toast anyday!! x

Mrs_T_M

Just put on a bra for the first time in a few days. Oh my goodness, my boobs are gigantic!!! I feel like they're going to try and go up my nose! Currently waiting on DH to get dressed so we can walk up to the shops and get some frozen chips to have with our normal pizzas tonight. On saturdays he cooks.
