***(61) 2015 November Sparklers***

[beneathmywing]

Lots of November babies! How exciting. I have my first beta today... wish me luck!

 

[mommyB]

As another mom of two boys yes it does get a bit crazy. Odds are I will have another boy (my one grandma had 6 and my other grandma had 3), but I would love a little girl as this is our last.

And regarding scans for me....no scan until 19 weeks!! Lol. That's okay though, it's what I'm used too!

 

[Mrs_Bump]

My first midwife appt is tmrw. A lot earlier than I expected. Welcome everyone.

 

[Embo78]

I still need to make my first appointment with my midwife. My hubby really wants to come too which is so sweet cos the first appointment is sooo long and boring

 

[CoralInGold]

We're going to the doctors on Wednesday when we turn 6 weeks to fill out our paperwork. Never heard of that before, I thought that was what the midwife done at the first appointment, although it has been 5 years since I had my daughter!

I have to breath in through my nose & out through my mouth when I'm walking to stop me from being sick. I try & do it as discreetly as possible but I am definetly getting some weird looks!

 

[mommyB]

Coral the nausea has hit me big time too!

 

[MissyMojo]

i've got a tincy bit of spotting today :/ i know its normal i would be due on today + plus a BM ... but eek when i saw blood

 

[Twag]

My midwife won't see me until 8 weeks

The sickness and tiredness is really taking over and making me miserable I feel sick all day and gag at smells etc and eating doesn't seem to help

It is really hard when I am at work feeling sick and tired but sit next to my boss

Funny isn't it how different area's of the country have different rules for when you can see the midwife

 

[Mrs_Bump]

If it makes anyone feel better I'm not allowed to see a doctor, I got this appt by filling in a form.

 

[Twag]

Yeah I am not allowed to see the Dr either just the midwife unless of course I have a medical reason to see the Dr that is which I don't!

[mommyB]

Why aren't you allowed to see a doctor?

 

[Twag]

There is no reason to see the Dr when you get your BFP they will just send you to the Midwife
So you have a midwife appointment for pregnancy things unless of course you are ill then you would see your Dr

Hey ladies.. welcome to so many wonderful women from all around the world.. it's amazing really!! Here we can choose to see a midwife, or we can see our gp until about 12 weeks... or we can opt to see the ob right away. Because of my history I am right to the ob.. he's amazing!! sits and takes as long as you need to answer as many questions as you may have... he's even called me at home before in the evening and spoke to me for about 1 hr!!

I'm freaking out a bit today... feel like I should be feeling sicker... I can go have another beta today so think I might.. I've had 3 so far:

19 dpo - 1332
21 dpo - 2998
23 dpo - 5808

So today would be 26 dpo.. so numbers should be over 11000... I know it may reassure me.. I'm a little bit scared that the number will have dropped... anyways sorry just having a freak out day.. I'm a firm believer in what will be will be... and there's nothing that I can do to change this.... big breath....

beneath good luck on your betas today!!

 

[Twag]

Good luck with your Betas today ladies

I kinda wish we had that here I won't know if all is well with baby until my 12 week scan just have to keep POAS to make sure I am still pregnant (although the sickness & tiredness should give it away )

Same with me (also in Ontario). I'll probably see my GP until 15 weeks maybe then switch to my OB. We have the same due date and I just started getting nausea yesterday so I'm sure it's probably coming. I know it can help reassure you a bit even if you feel horrible. Good luck with your betas

 

[klsltsp]

thanks mommyb...

I've been nauseous for over a week already... my stomach rolls all day long, I guess I'm freaking out because with my 2 ds's I was really really nauseous... I keep saying it started "around" 6 weeks... so I should just be patient... lol just so hard after 3 losses...

Twag I'm just lucky really, my ob doesn't believe in betas... for him the u/s is the real tool to use ... but my best friend is a gp and she asked if I wanted to do betas... and I said YES!!!

 

[Twag]

Ah so it isn't the same as the US as they do Beta's don't they?

Glad your friend can help put your mind at ease

I was told in the epu that nice guidelines say gp must now see all women within 28 days of reporting a pregnancy. Last time I had to see the gp before the midwife. It seems like every gp surgery is different. The form I had to fill in at gps was designed to be filled in by a doctor. The receptionist was impressed by how much I'd filled in. It was all code like lmp, edd etc.
