2015 MARCH-MALLOWS... Due in March 2015!! Come join us!

I don't think may people have positive experienced going to the GP when they are first pregnant!

The first time I went, I had literally just found out, and she was like "why have you come so early?!" "don't you know x in 10 pregnancies end in mc"

I was almost in tears, she was awful! I was expecting a big, oh congratulations, you must be over the moon!!

This time I've booked straight in with the midwife.

Did you mention your previous loss?

That absolutely awful! What a cow.

Yeah I did, she didn't say anything about it. Hopefully when I see the midwife she'll be more understanding.

I'm gunna try giving my EPAU a call but I doubt they'll see me. Last time even after I'd had it confirmed I was having a miscarriage they still wouldn't see me until I'd been referred by my midwife.

How do these people get away with being so nebby/rude/judgemental?

Sorry you guys are having such a hard time booking your first appointment in the UK.

I decided to go for a brisk walk @ 6am today around the pond and even though it is a bit humid, no overheating! I just realized that the past 2 days when I took a walk at 7am was when I felt extremely warm afterwards. I have to travel next week and will miss the early morning walks!

 

[hanni]

Hanni I had exactly the same questions asked by the midwife at my booking appt last time and I'm 37, had fertility issues/treatment to become pregnant and am also married! Must be standard questions or something, silly doctors lol!

I agree, so judgemental. Like anyone would be any less of a mother and care for their baby badly If they were a single mother or didn't have a full time job!

I understand they're just normal questions from the midwife but this was just a nurse who was doing my registration! It had nothing to do with me being pregnant. She was just being nosey and judgemental.

Ugh why do people like that work in healthcare

 

[Loozle]

Oh gosh, how awful that you've been treated like that by healthcare professionals! I must have been lucky with my care, I've never felt judged or anything.

I have a dilemma. I know that I need/want to eat but I have no idea what to have. What have you all been eating today?

I've had several losses but I've only got one registered with the gp. My own fault but still, most area have different ways to handle pregnancies. My old drs would refer you to a midwife who would ring and make an appointment for tour booking in around 8 weeks. So far this time, I've seen my midwife twice. It would have only had one but I tested negative at the first appointment.

Got my pregnancy notes/files and a couple of booklets on screening tests etc. I even got a urine bottle for my sample at the next appointment, just think she's super organised. Booking in appointment set for end of the month.

I'm also getting a private scan and paying £95 for it.

 

[smawfl]

Ooh I hope my midwife is super organised!

Apparently they've changed the process since last time and the new midwife is supposed to be better. Previously there were 2 or three who used to switch between community and ward work. Not there's a dedicated community midwife which should be better

OH has (understandably) been telling me not to get excited in case something goes wrong. We haven't had any history of miscarriages, but he's worried if something happens it will devastate me. But now I have it in my head that something IS going to go wrong. I'm panicking everytime I go to the toilet (which is like every 10 minutes right now!) that I'm going to find blood. And I'm worrying about every twinge and cramp I have. Not sure how I'm going to manage 8 weeks of constant worry until we get our dating scan.

I was like this with my first but have decided not to be this time! There is a a very small chance of miscarriage sure, but there is absolutely nothing you can do about it by worrying. What will be, will be and we have no control over it! Try and enjoy the times to come as they will pass quicker than you can even imagine! There is a much bigger chance that you'll be absolutely fine

 

[smawfl]

These early weeks are so hard!!

I said I wouldn't, but I bought a Clear Blue digital at lunchtime! Hoping I see a 3+ in the morning which will make me feel better for my lack of symptoms!

I'm the same but this is my first time of ever being pregnant and I'm so worried that something is going to go wrong I don't get my scan until middle of August feels like ages away

Sorry for your losses,
Lots of sticky dust to you xx

Guys, I'm an apple seed today! Sorry but it made me so excited!

I'm right with you about looking for blood every five seconds, I'm convinced I'm going to have a miscarriage and it's hard but I'm trying to stay positive because I want to avoid stress. It might sound weird but I keep telling myself that sometimes serious drug addicts have babies, and I'm taking good care of myself so I have every good chance of carrying ok.

I also want to do a CBD to see the 3+ but I'm going to try to hold off...

I'm also a apple seed I've been going to the toilet to make sure there's no blood I was tempted to by a digi today but didn't done a ic instead and was a lot darker x

When did you get your 2-3 on digi? I had 1-2...but I've been using cheapies and the line has been getting darker.

I got a 2-3 weeks at 11dpo 2nd morning urine and I got this on a ic this morning

I'm resisting the digitals, too. There are way better ways I should be spending money right now.

 

[ToughhGal]

Hello march mummies! I just wanted to say don't worry about the CBD tests. I took at 5+1 or 5+2 and it was still 2-3.

 

[Loozle]

I agree with ToughhGal, the digi's don't always make sense to be honest. I got 1-2 at 9dpo, 2-3 at 12dpo, tested again at 18 dpo and got another 2-3, I then didn't try again until yesterday which was 21dpo, I got a 3+.

However, if my little bean hadn't implanted until around 12/13dpo then I would have only just got 1-2 at around 14/15dpo at the earliest, thus making 2-3 and 3+ later - if that makes sense..? I'm probably just rambling and confusing everyone

 

[Loozle]

Oh and I'm constantly checking for blood. Inspecting the toilet paper and everything

 

[CoffeePuffin]

Boobs are REALLY sore right now. Hurts going up and down the stairs lol!
