My daughter will be amazed i think she asks everyday how big is the baby now and how long till its here. Shes so excited to have a baby brother/sister . My oldest isnt really interested at all LOL maybe its a boy thing x

Awe that's so cute! We keep telling our daughter there's a baby in my belly. She keeps saying baby but then points at my belly button lol

So sweet when there young, Tommy-Lee was 2.5 when I got pregnant with Ruby he kind of understood but not so much at first but by the time she was born he did, when we went to get him after she was born, he said oh mum has she popped out of your belly now Lol x

I'm not going to have the flu vaccine but I will have the whooping cough vaccine .... I think ... Il look into that closer to the time though ..

My daughters way to young to understand I'm having another baby

 

[Bethi22]

I've already had the flu jab when I was 9 or 10 weeks. Felt absolutely fine. I'll be getting the whooping cough vaccine as well.

I'm ashamed to say I've been putting off having the flu jab as I have a real phobia of vaccinations. Finally booked it for next week as I know I really ought to have it done.Will have the whooping cough one done also later on.

I havent been offered it yet? I assumed it was later on but obviously Its not lol, I have my 16 week appointment next wednesday so I will ask then.

Firestar I am petrified of needles, had loads at my 13 week scan and have to have another lot next week. Then more at 28 weeks! Its a nightmare but all worth it in the end x

 

[charbaby]

just looked it up and it says whooping cough between 28-38 weeks so got a while for that one x

Lol, same! I don't mind having my bloods taken.... it's the thought of a virus going in, even though it's a dead virus.

My surgery offered clinics for people to get the flu jab done - I missed those, but had to go to the doctors yesterday. Whilst I was waiting I asked at reception and they've booked me in with a nurse to get it done next Tues, not sure where in the UK you are, but it might be possible to do the same if you want it done sooner rather than later?

Im in gloucestershire (cheltenham) I'll ask midwife next week see what she thinks x

 

[pebbie1]

My midwife told me at my booking in appointment to call the GP to book it. So I did and got the appointment a few days later but by that time my letter from the Nhs came through as well saying I was invited for the flu jab.

[pebbie1]

Lolllllll just had my iron tablets delivered. The guy kept looking at me frowning and a bit weird. Only 5 minutes later I realised that my daughter had been covering my eyes, cheeks and forehead with eyeshadow this morning whilst she was sat on the toilet potty training!! I had green and yellow all over. Hahahaha

 

[passion4shoes]

LOL!! That's so funny! Have you got low iron? My friend has that and is struggling with a one year old, she is six and a half months and only just given up work - plus moved into a house which is still a building site. I don't think she understands the term 'rest'!

Woohoo! 15 weeks today and an orange!!

I am fairly sure I felt movement last night - it was slightly stronger than flutters though. Even if it was my imagination it was lovely!

My son is like the pregnancy police - I was in the pub on Saturday and he's like, 'You had better not have been drinking!' (I wasn't btw!) When do we feel kicks (I was 27 weeks with first one!!)

My mw hasn't even mentioned any vaccinations. Are we meant to sort it out ourselves? Do we get the whooping cough vaccination and then that vaccinates our babies?

(sorry this is so long, had a lot to catch up on!!)

 

[pebbie1]

Yeah I have low iron so these first 15 weeks have been a struggle already! Feeling a bit better now I have the tablets but later on in the day I still struggle.

Like I said before my midwife told me to book the flu jab but I also automatically got the letter from the Nhs. So not sure what's going on? Maybe call your midwife and double check with her?

[CLH_X3]

Has anyone not told there work yet that there pregnant ? I work part time and telling work this thur ... I have to by there policy tell them by the end of my 15th week ... So either this week or next but think next is pushing it!

 

[passion4shoes]

Is there any reason you have delayed telling them? Do you think they will be 'funny/ off' about it?

Thanks for reminding me though - don't we have to fill in a form now about our maternity leave intentions? Christ, where have I put that????

I will do - I haven't got a 16 week appointment with the mw. I can't remember if they said they would contact me!! Baby brain has hit me big time.

I hope your energy levels increase soon. It can't be easy dealing with normal pregnancy tiredness and low iron levels.

 

[pebbie1]

Thanks! I hope so too!

I told my work straight away when I found out (8 weeks). Just because its physical work and I needed adjustments.

[OmiOmen]

I had my flu jab a few weeks ago and will be getting the whooping cough vaccine too.

I am not working at the moment and am a mature student. I have the get a pregnancy support plan sorted though apparently.

I am really exhausted today and feel really week. I am really struggling to stay awake at all today and am looking forward to going to bed. My MS and tiredness had gone a couple of weeks back and it seems to be coming back the past few days but now I have a constant headache too. I am hoping that the second trimester will improve.
