Hi hun, I used them to check my HCG level was rising in the first few weeks. I know exactly when I conceived and I mean exactly to the closest day or 2. I used the first when I was between 4-5 weeks and the second the following week and each test gave me the right answer so it might be worth it in the interim?xxx _________________

Yeah true. We're all travelling out there the same time. My grandad lives there, would have been nice to see him as he's not met my daughter yet oh well. Not much I can do about it I suppose.
How are you all doing today?
I'm at work & I totally wish I could go home to bed!! So tired its untrue!!  _________________

Its my day off today, so at home, just donated our old sofa to charity so a local collection service has just picked it up Tidying the house as we havent long moved in so not found places for everything yet, which is a nightmare, clutter everywhere!!!
I'm not so tired today and managing some cleaning which is good as hubby is hopeless unless I tell him exactly what to do, by the time I have done that I may as well have done it myself anyway

No, non refundable deposit & they won't allow me to change names on the booking. The only thing they've said I can do is change the date of departure.
I'm so gutted about it my mom is so gutted.. It's upsetting  _________________

Ugh, Tashuur, that sucks!!! Can you change it to any date? Is so you could arrange to go over after the baby is born and make a family visit to see your Grandad, I bet he would love that
Emmie, I havent left the house either today I hope you feel better tomorrow, it sucks being ill when your preggo Chloe is a lovely name, really pretty ans girly, baby Jake has a certain ring to it too
Can anyone remember when we get our maternity exemption cards? is it before 12 weeks?xx _________________

feeling much better today thanx. Im not sure if i shall be going out today though its SOOOO windy here (i live right on the coast in a fishing village) The sound of the wind kept us up all last night too! The waves the sea is throwing up are huge and scary looking.
Poppytots I thought we got r cards when we go for r booking in appointment but maybe im wrong. I know its b4 25 weeks coz the cards say if u have a m/c b4 25 weeks you have to give the card back.
Hope you can re book your tickets for a later date Tashuur. I bet your grandad would love to see baby, or maybe go earlier b4 due date with your daughter that way you wont have to travel with a new born (something i think id never be brave enough to do )
I found another Oct Mummy , ive told her to come join us. _________________

just did a quick google on NHS cards.
Cant find the date you get give them. It says midwife or dr has to fill some of it in and then they get sent off. The card is valid from 1 month before the card is recived ( if that makes sense) so if we get the card filled out at 12 week then it was valid from when we were 8 weeks, I think - Im Gonna put my dentist off for a bit then  _________________

I think your just over thinking things. If your really getting worked up maybe you could book a private scan to give you reassurance??
I'm sure everything is okay.
I haven't got morning sickness. My nipples were really sore last week but they are okay now.
I just feel really tired all the time & I get the odd crampy pain in my tum now & then.
I've been told today at work that I'm not able to work with X-ray. I work as a theatre nurse & X-ray is used for some cases. So today I've had to myself useful elsewhere.  _________________

Aw Emmie, don't worry hun, we all go through this feeling off doubt and worry, its only natural. Not everyone has symptoms, I know plenty of friends who had no signs at all except a positive test. All of my Moms pregnancies were totally different (she has three children) and tbh most people find their pregnancies are different so don't worry
Its only natural to worry xx
Thanks for the info on the NHS cards too
Tashuur, sorry to hear you cant do your usual job, better to be safe than sorry though Being a theatre nurse must be quite stressful, you must be used to it now though
I'm proper hormonal today, snapped at a guy at work who annoys me, I think they might have guessed I'm pregnant, I'm all over the place, and my tummy has swollen and boobs are huge!!! Everyone is lovely in my office though and wouldn't ask until I tell them which is nice, I want to keep it to myself for as long as possible, it our little secret which I like being kept for the moment
I'm glad its the weekend now, Just collected my Avon books up so relaxing and visiting family over the weekend now, whats everyone else up to?xxx _________________
