Ughh you poor thing Chelsea, makes it so stressful waiting for results doesn't it? I have mine checked as well, due to previous molar and chemo, but I'm sticking to the basic fortnightly hcgs this time and skipping the betas.
Mind you, yours are mega, so there's no worries there lol!!

Hanni, deffo a good sign that it feels different! I felt different with my stickys

Hi ladies thank u for the lovely welcome
Chelsea I'm currently only experiencing tiredness and mood swings I too am wondering when the other symptoms are coming

Welcome chelsealynn and ckelly x

Thanks for your lovely comments (touch wood) I haven't had any more sign of bleeding so may have just been late implantation bleed.

I'll mention in in my appointment on Tuesday.

So with this being my first I feel a bit lost with the stages - my appointment is with the doctor on Tuesday - do they then refer you to a midwife? When do you have to pick a hospital? x

I'm having an ultrasound on July 7th (should be around 6 +2 days by then) and a doctor's appointment on the same day courtesy of my RE.

 

[MrsKChicago]

My first appointment is in late July, at about 8 1/2 weeks, but they didn't tell me what to expect. I hope I get an ultrasound at that one.

Not sure how things work in the UK, but in the US you pick a hospital and can go directly there for your prenatal visits or you can choose private offices but if you want a specific hospital, you have to pick an office that the hospital you want employs the doctors. Does that make sense? Lol. So I go to a private office but all of the doctors there are also employed by Bronson, the hospital I deliver at. So if I wanted to go to Borgess to deliver, I'd need to get prenatal care somewhere else.

 

[MrsKChicago]

That's basically what I did, too. I'm going to a midwife group, where I'll be seeing several midwives so I know them all when I go into labor (as opposed to just one ob-gyn like most women here go with), and they're affiliated with a hospital where I'll go for the birth. I'm going straight there, but I'm sure a lot of women go to their GP first. I can choose whoever I want for pre-natal care, as long as they're in my insurance network.

Hello please can I join I'm due about 6th march going by what ff is telling me anyone feeling sharp stabbing pains every nown and again where there pubic bone is? x

Hi and welcome!

So had a major panic last night went to toilet and when I wiped there was pink blood.

It's gone this morning and hopefully it was a one off - got my first doctors app on Tuesday so will mention it then however if it comes back then I'll have to phone for advice.

Very stressful xx

I bet it was! FX there's nothing wrong and that it's just something normal. I'm feeling some cramping some time to time, nothing major but I'm extremely nervous about finding blood. Even though it seems to be normal...

Can I join? My EDD is March 2nd I'm still cautious but feeling positive about this one.

Hi and welcome!

Can I join please dd 9th march

Hi and welcome!

Glad that our group is growing!

Hi ladies just panicked a little had some brown spotting. What's the first thing I do.... Google .... Scare myself. It is common isn't it??

 

[Millhaven]

Regarding first appointment - here in Sweden we seem to first book an appointment with a midwife where we discuss health and such. This occurs as soon as possible (mine's at 5w6d). Then the next appointment is at week 8-12 (in some cities an early scan is done, in others no). Not sure what we discuss at this appointment...

I'm hoping that I get an early scan. I want to see my little bean.

I'm thinking that brown blood is good - it's old. Could it be implantation bleeding?
And it's pretty common, but Google can be the devil sometimes...

 

[Ckelly79]

Thank u for the response it's now stopped but I'm now stressing.

 

[MrsKChicago]

Everything I've read said a little spotting is really normal and common and nothing to worry about. It would probably make me panic, too, but it's not anything to freak out about. Your cervix is really sensitive and full of blood right now, so it's easy to get a little cervical blood, like after sex or after an exam or even from pushing too hard when you poop. Ah, the joys of pregnancy...

The books I've read said to mention it to your doctor, but you should only panic if there's severe pain or a lot of blood.

 

[Ckelly79]

Thank u I feel a little better after reading that

 

[Bowmans]

Hi ckelly79 I had pink blood last night so you can imagine my horror but today I'm fine. Don't worry I think it is common I'll just be mentioning it to the doc on Tuesday.

 

[Ckelly79]

I think an early night is on order thank u ladies x

 

[Bowmans]

I think an early night is on order thank u ladies x

I've just woken from a 2 hour afternoon nap

Need to find some energy x

Get some rest

 

[dan-o]

Ckelly hope everything's ok, from what I've read on bnb over the last 6 years, it's super common are rarely anything to worry about. An early night sounds wonderful!

 

[Ckelly79]

Thank u to all u lovely ladies so glad I found this forum.
Hubby bathed my little boy and put him to bed so I'm crashed out on the sofa x
