:yay: Not far behind you!

In England, women are not offered a smear until the age of 25. In theory, you can't request one either and they can definitely refuse. This is the way the screening programme works in the UK. The reason is that that risk of cervical cancer is low and the chance of false positive at this age is...

Aww that sounds horrible - poor you! I haven't been buggy shopping yet, but it does seem very overwhelming and complicated. And that's just choosing! Then you have to work the damn things. Sounds like it became a metaphor for all your insecurities about motherhood (totally normal for first...

Hi ceebee Sorry you're feeling so low. I don't know what to suggest to make your feel better, do you have a specialist who could suggest something? I really don't think it's harming the baby, he's floating in his little bubble protected from the world. As Carnat says talking to him wouldn't...

:yay: to halfway! And glad your scan went well. Piccies are soooo cute xx

There's no need to wait in agony. Call your out of hours GP service! Hope you feel better soon xx

Totally normal. I was an emotional wreck even in he 2ww. It gets better when the hormones stabilise, but I still get very emotional - had a few tears at dinner yesterday talking about my brothers family thati haven't seen for over 2 years (they live in Sydney).

Congrats and welcome! :yay:

When you go for your implant tomorrow they will ask if there is any chance you might be pregnant, and when you explain, they may well refuse to put it in. On the plus side they will probably sort the morning after pill for you.

Lovely news! And a girl as well :) Congratulations!

If she's not showing any sign, then perhaps she doesn't feel the way you think. I know she's admitted that she's jealous, but that doesn't necessarily mean she feels bad every time you mention the pregnancy or baby. Can you talk to her about the way you are feeling? In terms of how to act, I...

But is that you feeling bad, or her indicating it makes her feel bad?

Is it causing a problem? If so, how?

Hoping everything is OK with your scan tomorrow xx

Why would you need to go to classes if you've already had a baby and you've been a doula? You could probably teach them!

Hi and welcome :)

I don't know whether I will use the name when we choose it, but I actually don't use 'bump' either and don't really like other people using it in reference to mine either. I call it 'the baby', which started weeks ago when I was using my relaxation CD which refers to the baby a lot.

I was showing (as in a fat tummy because normally mine is flattish) at about 10 weeks. At 14-15 weeks I looked like I'd out on loads of weight. Then about 2 weeks ago, it all pulled forwards into a bump.

I wouldn't worry at this stage. As I said in my edit, I did some further research and it appears that some women do 'leak' some glucose into their urine during pregnancy, due to changes in the kidney filtration system. It doesn't necessarily mean diabetes. If they find glucose again...

Unfortunately, there have been a lot of cuts to the health visiting service recently. This has led to having to reduce the services to families who need less assistance. You should be able to access them if you need to, but a lot of the routine stuff is going.
