Ive had scan at the epu and ive got my 12 week 1 on the 8th of Feb i'm super nervous. U?

mmmm cookies! Not good I like food far too much!

I've not heard anything at all. Not sure who to phone or anything. I'm pretty nervous. My GP was really dismissive when I told her I was pregnant and wanted a referral.

I hope everything was OK with your early scan and fingers crossed for the next one.

I would maube chase them up? I wouldnt worry about the gp being dismissive it seems to be a recurring theme. My GP was a total knob when i went to see him about my bleedinghe basically said to me if u miscarry dnt be surprised my mum was with me and she was so shocked too! I dont think they give a shit.

So far everything is okay and dates were all good. You should chase up the doctor and if your worried you can always try the epu they were really lovely to me and gave me an appt on the same day.

what is it with GPs not really taking you seriously? they make you feel like because you're only in the first trimester you're not really properly pregnant or something!!

I'm finding it really hard to get myself to do ANYTHING just now, but I really fancy making peanut butter cookies now too...especially since I was away all of november and december and so missed all the christmas baking

did you all plan your pregnancies then? It was a bit of a surprise for us...as I say I was away for two months, so when I got back we got a bit carried away... then I went to visit my family in Germany for just 4 days, and my period was supposed to start while I was there, it didn't (obviously). I didn't think much of it at first because travelling had messed up my cycles anyway, but then I thought I better buy a quick test. I took it first thing when I came in the door, we had picked up food on the way too...so when I came out the bathroom I said, "I'm sorry, I know you're eating...but I'm pregnant!" I was in such a shock...I cried and cried...BF was shocked too, but it was clear from the start that we'll just have to deal with it...and when are you ever 100% prepared for a baby, right?
now, 2 weeks after finding out we're both really getting excited about it. I'm sure we'll be just fine. We're having a private scan in 2 weeks and I told BF if we see a heartbeat then, he can tell his parents (we were going to wait until 12 weeks, but I think it'd be good for him to be able to talk to someone about it.) we'll not tell my parents until later because I want to tell them in person and they live in Germany, so I won't see them before about 13-14 weeks.

Um...I was really just going to complain about GPs...

Yeah, I saw the GP at 5 weeks and she said remember I could have a miscarriage. Lovely. So perhaps I will phone the surgery and see if I have actually been referred!

September, ours is planned. We were ttc for 6 months. A lovely Christmas pressie!

Where are you getting your private scan?

Mine was planned, I wanted a baby for almost a year but DH wanted to wait so finally got my implant out in September and my period never started,went to India for a month and MIL took to me to a fertility specialist who said my ovaries werent releasing eggs so she gave me clomid and it worked first try found out I was pregnant on the 8th of DEcember. Only a few weeks after we came bqck from India.

I've told my immediate family and work but waiting til 12 weeks to tell everyone else. I seen the hb at my 9 week scan but im still reluctant to tell!

Tbh im really not bothered either way, ive waited 3 years for this baby so as long as everythings ok. I just feel esp with having 1 already i would rather know to be organised. Anyone having there babies at rah?

Mine wasn't planned but we are chuffed after we both got over the shock! But as you say are you ever prepared for a baby?!!

I've only told mum dad sister and two best friends but OH has told everyone! Thankfully our friends and work mates don't clash. I want to get 12 week scan done so I can show people pics! Can't wait to tell my Gran as I know she will be chuffed to bits and then my mum can tell everyone too as I know she wants too!

I'm worried how step son will take news as it's been just the three of us for 4 years but hoping it will bring us closer as a family exciting time!

I got a date for my scan today, it will be on the 28th of February, which according to LMP puts might right on 12 weeks.

Does everyone else have a date for their 12 week scan?

It said in the letter I got that they won't do a NT test, but will instead offer me a blood test for Downs a bit later on in the pregnancy...does anyon eknow if that blood test is as "reliable" as the NT (I know the NT is just an indicator anyway...I've just never heard of the blood test...)

Private test in 1,5 weeks! I'm having it done up in perth, because my sister said the guy is really good. also, it's just £45 and we can make a day of it.

hope everyone is alright!!
