Good luck Crystal, will be thinking of you!

I am going to midwife today so going to see if can book a scan in. Also going to ask her about bd'ing. I have carried on throughout all my last 3 pregnancies but since my 2 losses I am just trying to avoid anything that might be a problem.
Basically stop everything I love! no aerobic exercise, no caffeine, no yummy cheeses, no hot baths and no bd Hopefully it will be worth it though.

This is my bloat picture this morning, it's actually not too bad cos its first thing but grows to about ten times that by end of the day, why is that?!

HI EVERY BODY!

i have just been to my doctors, just let her know that i have a positive hpt last week and she told me to make an appointment with midwife for first booking visit. the annoying thing is the midwife is there on tuesdays and thursdays. i work all day tuesday and thursday morning so the first appointment i could get is thursday 20th december.

when was your first booking visit with midwife (UK) ?

 

[charlie00134]

Hi Scottish ( I am also scottish!) I have my first appt with midwife today ( I am 5 weeks). Luckily the days she works are also the days I am off work. Think it depends how busy they are as to when you get an appointment but don't think they are that worried about seeing you before 8-10 weeks so as long as its before that.
However us impatient mamas want to be seen way sooner!

ah thanks.
i wasnt sure when exactly it was supposed to be but i will be 6+6 at mine so i think thats about right!

brr its cold here we have snow!!

 

[Sooz]

With my daughter it was 6+3 but this time it was 4 weeks due to complications in my previous pregnancy.

7-8 weeks seems to be the UK average though.

The waiting is a killer but we have a long way to go! Lots of snow here too making August seem even more of a lifetime away.
Wher in Scotland are you?

Good morning! Crystal GL! I will be thinking of you, update us!

As for vitamins, I am only taking folic acid, my doctor said that as the pregnancy progresses he will do more tests to see if I need any other vitamin but that for now folic acid is fine.

My appointment is on friday and I am counting the days, I have mixed feelings of scared and exited.... I will be 5+6 so almost 6... I implanted at 7DPO so I am hoping I get to see something.

it is a killer especially when finding out so early on!
i am trying to decide when to tell my close family, ive only told OH. i have a 9 year old DD but i am thinking i might wait till near 12 weeks before i tell her as i am frightened something might happen and i dont want her getting upset.

Iam thinking i might tell close family at xmas!

I stay in Paisley but i am originally a highland lass at heart lol where you from?

Hi
i just take folic acid as well which is what my doctor advised me to this morning but i have been taking it since May!

good luck on friday!

 

[twinkletots]

I am in houston so we are almost neighbours!! we will both go to RAH.
I have a DD too who is nearly 4. Not planning to tell anyone after my two losses so hoping this is the sticky bean!

 

[CordeliaJ]

So I went to the early pregnancy unit today (after being advised to get a scan by my dr). As I suspected, the nurse told me it was too early to do a scan. So they sent me off for bloodwork instead. She's going to check the levels to find out if it's going well or not - she also said if the levels were high then they could scan. I guess I will have to wait and see.
At least this lady said cramps were normal which is not what the doc implied. Phew.

my husband and i are due august 6th first time mommy so happy

 

[readynwilling]

Good luck Crystal! I can't wait to hear your GOOD NEWS! (PMA!!)

I have my 1st midwife appt wednesday - with my 1st i didnt' see my Dr till i was 8 weeks, but i booked with a midwife this time and they made an appt for 6 weeks my guess is that because i have known my GP my whole life i don't need to go for a meet and greet, but i don't know the midwives so i get to go in sooner.

I take prenatals... when i remember last pregnancy i took 1.5 bottles (150 vitamins... ) a pregnancy is 280 days long LOL. I know for a fact i have forgotten most days last week. Will go set a reminder on my phone now. Once i tell the girls at work i can leave them out on my desk where i can SEE them and i will remember to take. But they are hidden away in a cupboard right now, so i forget

With J i told my family right away (4 weeks) because SHOULD something bad happen i would want them to know so i had their shoulders to cry on. I told everyone else at 12 weeks. HOWEVER my mom and MIL are big blabber mouths and told a bunch of people early, so they lost that priviledge. This time we are telling everyone at xmas (almost 9 weeks)

 

[borr.dg.baby]

Congratulations MzMcCray!!

I am patiently waiting for news Crystal!
