Quick question, are all you ladies who get blood tests for HCG in the states? Never heard of them doing that routinely here in the UK except for MC. xx

They don't do it routinely here, either (I'm in the US). :shrug: At least not in my experience.

Edit: With dd, my first appointment was an ultrasound at 12+2 and then I saw the OB at 12+5. As for ultrasounds, I got the one at 12+2 and then I paid out of pocket for a sexing scan at 15+2, just because dh and I were dying to know what we were having. And then I got the anatomy ultrasound at 20 weeks. I didn't get another ultrasound until I was overdue at 40+2. That was just to check baby's weight and my placenta.

I agree. I'm also in the US, and from my own experience, I've had to beg and plead to ever get one. Also, I've only ever had scans if they thought something was wrong, and then somewhere around 16-20 weeks to find out the sex and check up on measurements.
 
The only reason I'm getting bloodwork and early scans is because
I was seeing a fertility specialist. Normally I don't think they do all that at least they didn't with my first pregnancy
 
Oh, oh! My boob just leaked!!!! (<< Never thought I'd be shouting that to anyone :blush: ) But it's a little bit of much needed hope!

That made me giggle!

So I confirmed with digi this morning, definitely pregnant! Weirdly my IC which is supposed to be more sensitive than my digi (10 for IC and 25 for digi) is pretty much negative today. If I had seen that yesterday no way would I have read it as pregnant. Just goes to show ICs can be a little bit unreliable.

But anyway, digi confirmed same, 1-2 weeks pregnant. Dh is off work today (like me- I'm a teacher) and he won't believe the ICs so I left digi on his bedside table for when he wakes up. Going to go and leave his man pregnancy guide with it!

:cloud9::cloud9: please be a sticky one!

How is everyone feeling this morning?
 
That's exciting though, first docs appointment means you are getting started with pregnancy! I have mine August 17th. I actually made that appointment to discuss starting meds to help us conceive, so it's funny I will be able to use it to start pre-natal care!!!

I have just been on kiddicare looking at everything! Husband will kill me for being to excited if he finds out! :haha:
 
true!!!! :) ill be pushing for bloods ad an early scan. im.sooo nervous this pregnancy....xx
 
I think that's a great idea, I think I'll ask about the possibility of an early scan as well, as like you am very nervous. Here's hoping for sticky, healthy beans, and that April arrives soon!!
 
Moring all!

Doggylover, re the wedding dress, its only a cheap one we are having a tiny wedding, so it wont be too much hassle if i have to get something else, i dont think there is extra matarial inside this one, its from debenhams.

Ive got my 1st docs appointment on friday, only made it for so soon so i could get my maternity card asap! , my last one only just ran out lol x

Im feeling a bit sick this morning but nothing too bad and managed to eat some breakfast. Got to work later.. boo!
 
With my last pregnancy i was quite chilled about everything and didnt worry too much, this time im hoping il be the same but im so much more aware now of things that can happen, i dont know if thats a good thing or not?

All i can say to the ladies who are pregnant for the 1st time is, you are bound to worry but as long as you are sensible and look after yourself you will be fine. Yes sometimes awful things happen, but if they are going to they will, there isnt much point in worrying about what hasnt happened yet, just try and relax xx
 
Hopefully you could get the same dress from Debenhams, just in the next size up then!!

Small weddings are definitely my fave, but the one I was at at the weekend had 170 people!! I couldn't believe anyone would know that many people!
 
Feeling really, snappy, depressed and irritated today :( grrrr

HELLLLLPPP!
 
Look at it as a positive - it means your hormones are flowing for baby!!!

Sorry. I'm being so upbeat this time round! Trying to enjoy it while it lasts, just in case.
