Great hcg levels Chelsea x
Scan was as expected to early to see anything but did mention thick lining of uterus. Back tomorrow to see if hcg levels have doubled from 387 :/

Here's a pic of the one I did this morning. I'm at the clinic now to talk to a doctor since I can't see an OB until I'm 8 wks. This is so surreal right now. Me and my SO are closing on our new house today and now this.

That looks like a great line, especially on a cheapie!

I think if one of you doesn't want to know,then that's the leading vote! Lol my rule anyway hehe

Here's my progression pics from a few days ago. I'm now 21 dpo

I have to get ready for work today, but I just want to stay home and look up pregnancy stuff! I guess it will be good for me to get out of the house and away from the computer though...

I totally feel the same way, I just want to stay home and research baby names, nursery ideas, and day care facilities, can't concentrate at work either.

Same its all i think about!! When OH and I found out we said that we wouldn't get ahead of ourselves and now we have names picked out and everything! So bad!

Are those of you requesting bloodwork in the US? I've not heard of this in the UK or been offered it?? I phoned my GP and they said they don't see people anymore, you just fill out a form an wait until your appointment at 8-10 weeks

Yeah dont think uk doctors offer it unless extenuating circumstances.. The first surgery i went to you basically just went to reception peed in a cup and that was that no advise or anything. Thankfully ive now changed and this place seems to take a bit more interest!

No blood work for me here in the UK

Good work Chelsea!

And congratulations apple seeds

No pet name here yet. It's not sunk in properly yet!

Last time we were team yellow and so was called Baby!

I think we will be staying team yellow again. We loved the surprise.

What will everyone else do?

You must have amazing patience, theres no way i couldn't find out as soon as possible!


Anyways is there anyone not experiencing any symptoms? Im 5 weeks tomorrow and the most I've had is sore nipples last week, i actually feel like I've got more energy rather than less lol! Thought i would have at least vomited or had a hissy fit by now haha, making me worry at little though!

Hah if my OH said that i would say i have no problem with him not knowing but i am going to find out! Im selfish hah

Thats exactly what my test progression looked like!

 

[southerngirl2]

We are going to find out what we will have ASAP! We are too impatient! I've called the baby 'baby M' since our last name starts with M

I'm considering a natural birth, but I'm trying to keep my mind open. I like the idea of waterbirth, and the midwives I'm going to offer it, but you can only do it up to a certain BMI so I'd have to be careful about weight gain (which I should be anyway). I'd be anxious outside of a hospital, but I also really hate needles, so I'm not sure that being strapped to a bed with IVs and a needle in my spine would really be good for my state of mind, even with the amazing pain killing benefits.

I wasn't offered any kind of blood tests in the US. When I called for an appointment, they asked if I was pregnant, I said yes, they took my word for it, and booked me an appointment at about 8 1/2 weeks. I hope I get a scan at the first one.

As for pet names, my few friends who know have dubbed it the Sea Monkey. DH and I have mostly been using the girl name we've had in mind for years. I'm trying to make myself switch back and forth between he and she so I don't convince myself it's a girl... I'd find out the sex today if I could

No way could I wait that long to find out! I'm too impatient to be team yellow. We're finding out this way: I hired a photographer for October, and when we go to the ultrasound, the tech is going to write what we're having on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope. My best friend and I are going to decorate a big box with pink and blue and question marks. I'm giving the envelope to my best friend and she takes that with the box to the party store and has them fill it with pink balloons if the paper says girl, blue if the paper says boy. Then she's meeting us at the park with the box and the photographer. Then DH and I will have the kids open the box and the photographer will capture our reactions, and we'll do a maternity shoot after that! Can you tell I've been planning this for awhile?!

 

[smawfl]

Lol Chelsea that's pretty elaborate!

Looking forward to seeing the pics!!

 

[cocokittyi]

Me me me, I'm due our second the 6th, found out I was preg on my sons 4th birthday. I'm also nervous due to mc before. But god my belly is really crampy.

 

[ruthb]

Aw what a nice day to find out. Is that your son in your pic, amazingly cute! Have you told him yet?

 

[cocokittyi]

No have not told him. Don't want him telling everyone else. Yes that's him.

 

[smawfl]

Congratulations to the new BFPs!

thats an awesome plan! I'm a professional maternity & newborn photographer! If you are due in March, October is pretty early for a maternity session. I generally schedule them for my clients between 28-30 weeks. You may not be big enough by then to really have a defined bump- everyone is different though- just something to think about! I think 30 weeks for me will be the same week as Christmas- hopefully I'll be able to find a good photographer around then! We may have to drive south a little ways for some warm temps!
