    Morning all. Popping over from the previous thread. We had our scan yesterday and measured at 13 weeks, so have an EDD of 19th Jan. Eeeek!

    Is anyone taking the higher dose of folic acid (5mg)? I was told I could stop it at 12 weeks. Is anyone still taking it afterwards. I am tempted to keep going as any excess will be expelled anyway.

    Morning everyone. Don't think I've posted on this thread yet. I'm 16+2 and I have my appointment with the community midwife on Friday.

    Feeling generally well at the moment with occasional off days, just tiredness and some occasional slight nausea.

    I am sooooo excited though, we've bought a fair few bits now. I know it's still early days, but my mum's keeping a lot of it for us so there's very little in our house. Not bought any clothes yet, might buy a little something after the 20 week scan :D

    Hello everyone :)

    Hope you are all well.

    If anyone wants info on slings etc, it's worth having a look if there is a local sling library or sling meet. You can try a few different ones.

    There are groups on facebook as well where you can get advice or buy.

    There is loads of information on the net. Here is a good start: http://www.babywearing.co.uk/choosing-a-sling-or-baby-carrier/

    I didn't have a clue about them when I started, I just wanted something soft that I could carry the baby in and get stuff done around the house. It was the best thing for me, and I didn't use a pram/pushchair at all for 6 months, and only once or twice after that.

    I've got my scan 1 week today, I can't wait. I'm also anxious that something may be wrong. Hopefully not though, I keep getting 'churning' feelings in my stomach rather than proper kicks.

    I keep changing my mind as to whether I think it's a boy or girl. Hoping to find out next week.

    My pelvis pain has kicked in really early as well Diamond Orchid, I didn't get it until late with DS. It's horrible and so uncomfortable.
