I'm expecting a baby middle to end of November (not sure on dates yet as only found out today!), total surprise as I was on the pill and we were not trying as I only had a baby last August, this will be number 3 and to be honest I am totally cr*pping myself so I really need a bump buddy....anyone interested?

I'm interested! I'm due early November though... I don't know if that breaks protocol or anything...

I hope not!!! I'm not 100% sure when i'm due to be honest, just having my levels done and got more bloods on Monday to see how its progressing! I'm Rachael by the way, nice to meet you!

Hey Racheal! Well whatever the dates are, CONGRATULATIONS! That's exciting about number 3! I can BARELY imagine a household that busy. This is will be our first (second pregnancy technically... m/c early Dec, started TTC month of February... Now I have a 7-8 week bean in there!) and I'm terrified as well! How old are your other babies?

I'm Casey by the way! When did you first test? When will you get results? (Sorry for bombardment of questions!) I too got my levels checked shortly after my just to make sure they were rising at the level they should be... and they are!

So I guess you already have a Dr you like since you've been through this twice before... Do you know when you'll get to see and U/S or anything like that?

Hi ladies
Can I join you? I'm due around 22nd Nov I think!
This is my first so I've no idea what to expect really.

Hi, sorry not been on for a couple of days, had a busy weekend!
Of course you can join us Peggy80, more the merrier!

Casey, I know how you feel this is technically my 7th pregnancy I have a history of losses so they are testing my blood to see what my levels are doing, so far they are going up, I had more took this morning so I will know more on Wednesday! I have no idea when my NHS scan will be but I have a private scan booked for 3rd April, so will hopefully see something positive then!
I have 2 other babies, 3 and a half year old boy and 7 and half month old boy, so yes my house will be mega busy and i'm nervous about how I will cope but just like with 1 and then with 2 I managed it so sure I will this time!!!

So where about in the UK are you both, I'm near Doncaster, I'm 34...was my birthday on Friday...hence the busy weekend, we had my husbands family up from Warwick...we haven't told them yet so I had to act like I wasn't feeling queasy as I prepared lunch!!!

I'm not far from you at all, I'm in S****horpe. I'll be 32 next week.
We haven't told anyone yet, was going to tell my parents at the weekend, but then decided to wait till hubby is back so we can tell them together.

Have you ladies got any symptoms?

Sorry ladies I don't have a device easy to type on during the weekends right now, had to wait til monday : (

Congrats Peggy! Yes of course, please join in all the fun! This would be my first pregnancy passed the 6 week mark so I'm in the same boat. Have no idea what to expect, and at every turn I google whatever symptoms I may have and have a mini anxiety attack.

Rachael, I hope this is a super sticky bean for you! You seem very relaxed (I know that may not be the case, but I had to give you some admiration for that...) and that is outstanding. Keep us posted as to what happens Wednesday! April 3rd doesn't SEEM like it's too far away, can't wait to hear what happens!

AFM: I had blood drawn during week 6 of this pregnancy. On the 8th and the 13th. Went from 400hcg-3336hcg (seems like it might have missed a day, but the math leading back from the 400 to when I got my positive pregnancy test was just about a day off as well so I feel it's normal for my pregnancy...) Scheduled a REAL OB appointment (since the first one I couldn't stand and instisted on finding another dr) for this Wednesday as well... Keeping my fingers and toes crossed that they'll sign me up for an U/S that day and I'll be able to have some fears crushed after seeing/hearing a heartbeat. Will definitely keep you updated!

Hi Ladies, well I have news, bean appears to be sticky, results are in and hcg has more than doubled...! so going for a scan at Doncaster tomorrow at 9.30 to see where exactly I am and if all is ok. Need to know my dates so I can work things out workwise!
I am quite relaxed about it now, have learnt that anxiety will make things worse not only my fears but my morning sickness too, so best just to get on with it.
Google can be your best friend and your worst enemy, I have learn that the hard way , I found a couple of pregnancy books helped but also to note that every pregnancy is different, not one of mine has been the same. My second boy didn't double hcg wise and I was warned its not likely to last and yet here he is, but with my little girl I was given the all clear but lost her at 14 weeks, so try to stay calm and not read up on too much, trust me the weeks will fly by and baby will be here before you know it!!!

All sounding good for you so far, how did the scan go?
