    So after appearing that my sickness had stopped it has hit me hard today. Feel horrendous and my 3 year old is being a little horror. Thankfully hes off to his nana's tonight so I can get a nap before OH comes home!

    Hope everyone else is feeling ok today.

    Had booking in appointment yesterday - had my blood taken for the first time in my life!
    Went well - scan date should come via post!

    Midwife mentioned taking vitamin D supplements - but wasn't worried about taking them until i have finished my folic acid

    What vitamin supplements is everyone else taking? What is best value?

    You get vitamin d supplements for free, they gave me a yellow card to take to any children's centre to pick them up, I went today and it was closed xxx

  • Hi sophiasmum, welcome and congratulations

    getting fed up with not sleeping through the night urgh, no wonder I feel tired! I feel nausea if my tummy is not full too - I'm surely going to pile on the pounds and become a blob!
  • Got home from work to find an appointment letter for a scan on 4th April. Eek!!!!! Still haven't spoken to or heard from the midwife yet. Should I be concerned?

  • have been lying on sofa feeling sorry for myself this evening, feeling sicky and tired and down. Despite this I'm glad I'm halfway through the 8 week wait in a weird way. I made it thru the last 4 weeks, only 4 more to go!

    I've been to t*sco shopping and got some elderflower cordial and ginger cordial (2 for a fiver) . The elderflower one is nice :) I have a feeling that I'm getting dehydrated 'cos I'm getting sick of decaff tea and avoiding sweeteners.
