Yeah so pleased for you x x

So envious of your scans girls! So exciting. And such a relief to know your little bean is healthy and growing

ditto vivking we are about 3 weeks away from a scan and I am struggling every day with worry, please be sticky little one, please be healthy, please come and meet us in July so we can hod you in our arms.

Fantastic news form those already seeing nice strong hb's and so early too, I didn't think they were detectable until 8weeks!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck Marissa canlt wait to hear all about your little jelly bean.

Hi there 2012 hoping, glad you got in touch, nice to have some one go through the exact same timing.

So how are you getting on with yiur symptoms? I'm generally ok in the morning and start to feel really full (before i've had my lunch) then start to feel increasingly queesy towards the evening and night time when i feel at my worst, this evening has been the worst so far. i think i will start to do as people have recommended about small meal regularly just so that i dont kep getting that over full feeling.

Also i've noticed a few ladies on this thread have mentioned getting a private scan, i'd really like to do that, but dont really know where to start - google is probably a good place.

Anyway, take care 2012 hoping and let me know how you get on? Have you see your doc/ nurse yet for antenatal appointment?

Well we saw a hb!! I am so relieved! My uterus is tilted and they have a really hard time seeing the hb clearly but it was there. She dated me at 6wks 2days. That is a week less than when you calculate it by LMP. What do you guys think about that?

My last pregnancy, after 3 u/s, we finally saw the hb at 8wks 1day. But for those three weeks they kept dating me a week early too. But when we finally saw the hb I was right where I thought I should be. Kinda weird if that happens in both pregnancies huh?

Thanks ladies!

Well, I told someone today. She had already guessed and was completely relentless. I told her probably four separate times that I wasn't pregnant, but she didn't believe me. So I ended up exasperately saying yes. Yes I'm pregnant. It was really weird to say it out loud and I'm terrified she will blab. She was sworn to secrecy. However, I just heard a statistic on the radio yesterday that a woman can keep a secret for 32 minutes. Holy cow. The whole world is going to know. I'm a terrible liar. I tried my best.
She was actually very helpful. Our insurance renewal is going on right now and she and I were trying to figure out what would be best for me to pay for delivery and all. So that was really sweet. I've actually been dreading telling her because she has PCOS and she wants a baby so badly. She is still single and I feel awful that I'm going to have a baby when she wants one and has wanted one forever.
In a way it was nice to tell someone. Apparently some other friends have guessed too. I don't know how. They were all talking about it before I arrived. Apparently the last time they saw me I was "glowing" like I had a halo. So funny. So everyone is already talking. And I thought I was being so calm and breezy. I can't fool anyone! Sheesh! I hope I don't blow it. I need to go into hiding until after Christmas!

You could have ovulated later than you think so this could be perfectly normal so don't worry. It is also difficult to say for sure in the early stages. I was put back a day and another lady was 5 days out.
My womb was also tilted back so I had an internal scan and saw everything perfectly then.

I first saw a heartbeat at my 5week 4 day scan!

Because your uteus is tilted its more difficult to measure baby acurately, its possible when baby gets bigger that it will measure spot on. Hope your worry has eased now, you've saw a heartbeat now so hopefully all will run smoothly for you.xx

Viking - I know exactly what you mean, I'm meeting a friend for lunch today. Her sister (also one of my best friends) has just had a baby so all the talk will be about babies - it's gonna be so hard not to blurt it out!!

Also, in many ways this time of year is the worst to be at the stage when you're not telling - so many parties etc and in NI, as soon as you say you're not drinking tonight, everyone thinks "she's pregnant!!"

Viking:

I've been thinking about the right time to tell my editor and agent I'm pregnant. My novel's release date got pushed back a week yesterday, another inch closer to July, and now I'm starting to worry about everything.

So...I dunno.

Also, toast helps my morning sickness, but gives me heartburn. FML.
