Buttons, it depends on your hospital/midwife centre. Most don't offer scans at booking in, but wait for your scan at 12 weeks instead. I got booked in at 10+1 last time and had my scan at 12+2.

Can't wait to get my booking in appointment! Got my GP appointment tomorrow to refer me to he hospital I want, so hopefully within the week I'll have booking in appointment made. Can't wait for that, it made everything feel a lot more real last time! I think it was having pregnancy notes that did it.

Lol that's true Squirrel! My midwife dropped my notes through the door so I could do some pre paperwork to make the booking appt shorter, bless her. It feels great to be filling it all in again! Simple things

Thanks Denyse and FlyingDuster... it's reassuring that even if my m/s does last the entire pregnancy, it'll likely dissipate after first tri.

Urgh. Anyone else feel a bit like someone put a ball of lead in your stomach?

Yes!! I've felt that way since I got my bfp.

Has anyone else lost their appetite? I don't think I've felt hungry for days!

I haven't been hungry lately either. But I had a few days of intense nausea/vomiting where I could hardly eat at all, so I'm sure my stomach shrank which is why I have no appetite. Nausea has been low grade all day so far and it's been great!


As my nausea's been lightening up I've been feeling a bit constipated. I've read quite a few of you ladies having that issue lately and I've been hoping I wouldn't get stuck with it too...

As I was picking out my clothes for work, I caught a glimpse of myself from the side in my mirror and I *think* I might have a teeny bump already!!! I wasn't expecting it at all and even gasped a bit when I saw it. I know it's only been 5 weeks, so it's very early, and very likely that it's mainly bloat... but at least a little bit has to be baby right!? What do you ladies think? I was so excited I had to take a picture.

PnkPolaDots - It looks lovely and very bump like, but I'd imagine it would have to be that good-old friend of ours: pregnancy bloat. At 5 weeks your uterus is still the same size as normal - perhaps a tiny bit bigger as it starts stretching early on, but it won't have risen above your pubic bone yet. I am so bloated in the evenings and because I lost a lot of muscle tone when I had my son, my tummy goes back to looking 4/5 months pregnant by evening! Yikes! And I'm normally pretty flat. Work will guess in no time!

Squirrel I'm sure you're right I think I'm just going to pretend, because it's much more fun!

Being my first I can honestly say I have never had bloating like I do now. By the end of the day I am so bloated it hurts to bend over and lying flat on my back is the most comfortable. It's crazy! You start the day pretty normal but by 3pm I am so bloated!! At least it reminds me I am pregnant and makes it feel real!

Am loving this feeling of knowing I am pregnant!! Can't wait to be able to tell everyone!

Hi everyone! Congrats on your BFPs! I'd like to join. I got my BFP yesterday. I'm due August 18 with #3. I don't have any intuition at this moment. And it'll be a week or 2 before I schedule my first scan.

Congrats on your !! HH 9 Months!!

Buttons_01 - I think you do, 9 weeks sounds like a great time to get your first scan, my old OB would do her's about 9-10 weeks during the first appt

I know if we don't get our scan during our appt next week I'm going to push for my doc to at least send me with a slip to get one done at our local hospital lol



LilyInk - I'm having a hard time keeping it from all my friends... so I'm slowly torturing them on Facebook by counting down the days to my appt... but they have no idea what I'm counting down lol It's the only way I feel I can control myself from shouting it... because I feel like I already am, they just don't get it lol

Hey ladies! Will catch up here over the next hour or so, had a very busy last 24 hours!!

MS has definitely shown up for me. Started at 6 weeks exactly. Threw up on 6 weeks, and today is 6+3 and woke up puking with horrible MS. Luckily it's only right when I wake up and goes away after I puke.

Hi everyone!

My first scan is booked for January 16th. Still a long way away, and I will be over 11 weeks by then.

I too am so bloated by the end of the day! I had to unbutton my pants at work during a meeting, was so uncomfortable.

Nausea has kicked in today!! I have been feeling dizzy the last week or so, but this morning I was actually gagging. All three of my pregnancies have been exactly the same so far!! (Maybe our third princess is on the way ) If history repeats, I'll be puking this week!!

I have been also avoiding food during the day...but watch out at night!! I snack so much before bed. My nausea is always bad in the morning, so my appetite is always back at night.

I am also so tired...I could nap all day. I am finding working really hard right now. There is no down time, because as soon as I get home, I am in mommy mode!

6 weeks tomorrow!!

Congrats on all the new BFP's!! Happy and Healthy nine months

 

[clynn11]

Caught up! Wasn't TOO much! Glad to see everyone's doing good

Happy 6 weeks, albeit a little late in the day, to: HWPG, VivianJean, Damita, and DenyseGiguere!!

Happy 5 weeks to: KcApple, LilyInk, and 28329!

Happy 4 weeks to: LeinzLove!

 

[Luvspnk31]

Feeling pretty good so far, just really, really tired! I get up in the morning, and immediately want to go back to sleep. My bbs are still sore, but seemed to eased off a little. I am def noticing a drop in my..ummm....er desire to dtd, lol. Poor hubby. Hopefully he won't have to take to begging.

 

[Soulshaken]

I love catching up on everyone at the end of the night it's like reading the best pregnancy book ever written because we are all going through this stuff at the same time!!

can't wait for our scan either! It will be an awesome Christmas gift to see a little flickering beat the day before Christmas Eve!!

 

[KirinM]

Morning ladies,

Having my second lot of bloods taken today and going to be pushing for a scan for this week or next as I'm really worried about another ectopic and it's really ruining things for me.

I'm not getting particularly bloated which is freaking me out!

Could be twins with an early bump and bad ms

Hey I have missed so much! Been really busy with work and my daughter. She's at nursery today and I'm working from home. I say working, I'm laying in bed, thinking I must get up soon (my mum took DD to nursery on her way to work).

I've been felling pretty crappy . I have no energy to do anything and can't stop eating. I'm normally one who can't sit down and really watch what I eat. All I want is carbs all the time! I put on 5 stone last pregnancy!!! Have a feeling I will this time too. Luckily it all came off and more afterwards.

Xx

Girls i am crapping myself... Just took my last digi as it was sat in the box and i cannot resist POAS.. It says 2-3 .. why would it go down from 3+ to 2-3?! I feel fine, no cramps or pain etc so i don't understand it

 

[28329]

There could be many reasons. Too much hcg can cause lighter lines, a lot to drink the night before. If there's no pain or bleeding try not to worry.

 

[LittleMinx]

Ok my OH has just told me i'm a little sod and to stop worrying ... I've also just read that after 6 weeks they are not accurate due to high HCG levels.... And relax! Thanks hun x

 

[28329]

No problem. Worrying will only put stress on your body. I know it's hard but try to relax. Unfortunately what happens from here is out of our hands but we can try to enjoy it and stay calm.

When does this cramping end? I feel like I have a uti (hopefully getting treated for that after a urinalysis yesterday, just waiting on the results) and I'm terribly crampy. Nothing extreme, but like period cramps and the nurse at my OB's office said it's completely normal since I'm not bleeding. It's still got me worried, though. It doesn't help that I know I'm not dehydrated (I drink at least 80 oz of water a day) and I'm a teacher so I can't be sitting down during the day to rest and help the cramps. I supposed that if they're not better soon, I should call them back? I'm pretty uncomfortable.
