Hi There - hoping I can join you in this thread. I was just a newbie in the 35+ TTC#1 thread and found out 4 days that ago, that we're expecting. Not that the BFP happened overnight. This was our month 20 TTC and we were getting pretty discouraged. So we are just over the moon, while at the same time being cautious cause it's so early.
I had my first doctor's appointment today and she was walking me through the first trimester...what to expect, when to do what, and then she sprung up all the testing that is recommended for all of us over 35 because of the higher risks. I didn't like it - it kind of freaked me out in all honesty. It's probably just part of her "job" though to talk about all of this with her patients.
Well, look forward to getting to know you. Are any of you this early as well? I'm 4 wks and 4 days. Off to go find a baby ticker
Carol, I am sooooooooooo sorry!!! I know how sad you must be. It has been such a long journey for you. I do think there is hope in that the first IVF took initially. It's hard not to loose hope, but please hang in there. I had a dream last night that I MC. I woke up so sad and it took forever to get back to sleep. I can't imagine ur pain. Huge hugs to you!
Rottpaw, so sorry to hear about your dad. How frustrated you must be by the situation. Keep pushing for him to live with you, but in the mean time you are only human and can do only so much. Take care of yourself too.
Lynnb, I am soooo bloated!!! After I eat I look 6 months pregnant!! Glad I am not the only one. Our symptoms sound very similar. I have a little nausea now and then (now being one of them), but overall feel pretty good.
AFM, there's good news and bad, bad first as it gives you something to look foreward to. I'm sitting in the surgery center for my mom's lumpectomy for her breast cancer and feeling sick. She is in good health but it's all sureal, to have a parent sick. Also had blood work done on monday to check HCG levels and they were souposed to call yesteray with results but so far no news. So I'm totay freaking out that something is wrong. Probably what lead to the MC dream.
Good news is I got some nookie this am!!! Took the "bull'" by the horns and got me some . . . And it was goooooooddd!!! Sorry tmi.
to those having such a horrible day big hugs, your in my thoughts. Xx anna
Chris - You're husband sounds so reasurring, wish mine came out with things like that
Anna - Try not to worry too much, I know it's easier said than done & I hope everything goes really well for your mom
Angela - Sorry to hear about your dad, hope the situation improves soon
AFM - I had my first Drs appointment this morning with the nurse practitioner who I saw just before my m/c. I burst into tears as soon as I told her I was pregnant & she did her best to make me feel better, she's going to ask Denise, the practice midwife, to call me on Monday & says that Denise will probably see me early than 10 weeks & that she'll be able to arrange an early scan, but if I have any niggles before then to call.
The bloating is not been so bad today, I've managed to get my jeans done up (just!), but have a wedding reception to go to tomorrow & have nothing to wear, I feel a shopping trip with hubby (or at least his cards) coming on
Hi, I agree with the girls, just take each day as it comes, and gradually the time will pass and you will become more confident Anna. I am 22 weeks and still have wobbles, even though everything seems fine. I don't go on the board as I will always see a story that scares the life out of me, but I wont feel completely safe until the baby is out and doing fine.
There is no way I am watching any birthing videos....I really have no desire to see other women give birth..yuck!
Sveta I am the same, waking at 3 or 4 and then not sleeping the rest of the night, its got a little better lately so there is hope you won't be like that the whole time!
Just had flu jab so am relaxing now so it doesn't make me feel ill. Hope everyone is ok.

Welcome Hope and congrats!
I'm 8ish weeks and haven't even got a midwife yet. Have been to doctors and had blood and urine tests for HIV etc, but here in NZ they don't do much until week 12 so I'm just muddling through!
