Hi Ladies,

Just moved over here from the TTC board. I got my BFP this morning and we're pretty excited. Me... a lot more in disbelief then OH is! My edd is March 3rd. A question.. how soon after getting a positive HPT are you supposed to see your doctor?

well i booked an app to see my doctor at about 4+5 just because didnt really know what to do, and wanted to see someone to get it confirmed. he said they dont do a test or anything because theirs are the same as the ones you buy, but told me to book an app with the midwife for 6-8 weeks gone, and he booked my 12 week scan, told me to continue taking folic acid and that was about it. then at 7 weeks i had the midwife app and she said hmm its a bit early for the booking app (meant to be 9-11 wks apparently) but she did it anyway - took bloods and did all the forms etc.

i think everywhere is different by the sounds of things, thats just my experience, i expect canada is very different x

Thanks Dreamer! I'll give their office a call tomorrow and ask what they advise! Do most people in the UK see a midwife or doctor? I'm considering doing the doctor route with maybe a doula for support with delivery!

i think most people have midwife led care in the UK, with a few app with the doctor here and there. in my schedule i've been given, i see my doctor 2-3 times during the pregnancy x

Lovely Scan piccys dreamer...

 

[Tobaira]

Nice scans dreamer.. I'll be a few days behind you for mine but it's good to have an idea what we might see tomorrow

I like your names LadyL. We've talked about names.. I think it it's a boy it will probably be Ethan William (William for my dad, Ethan because we like it). I wish Ethan wasn't such a popular name but.. nothing else really felt right. And unfortunately we have one of those noun last names so we really have to be careful in picking the name. Richard is definitely not an option! Haven't really decided on a girl name, although I lean towards longer ones. I really like Genevieve but it seems too french (I'm big into genealogy and we have no french on either side). Cassandra is also one I like. Other names I like that are out due to close younger relatives with the name (or very similar) - Gabriella, Kaylee, Kiara, Isabella, Sophie. So we've got work to do if it's a girl lol!

I have an odd question for you all, anyone having any trouble with post nasal drip? It's gotten so much worse in the past few weeks and now brushing my teeth almost always makes me gag (and throw up). Uggh.. and I know its just that mucus-y crap that's doing it to me, but I don't know what to do to help break it up Maybe some hot tea?

Ah some lovely names.

We're definitely not decided with names. We both really like Erin, Keira or Megan for a girl. It sound odd but apart from Elijah I dont really have any boys names I like (and I think thats out because a friends little boy is called Elijah) oh and Isaac which OH doesnt like! OH loves Ryan or Jack, but I need some convincing on those!

Hi Everyone!
Congrats on the new bfps!!!
Congrats dreamer on a great scan! It is so nice to see a good heart beat!
Good luck tomorrow tobaira! Hope you get a great scan pic!
I had my first trimester screening and NT scan on friday and all came out well. They gave me a 1:1000 chance for downs, and 1:22,000 chance for trisomy 18. Since I am 36 I was relieved to get good downs numbers. I know it is not 100% accurate so I am still a little stressed, but I think we are going to pass on an amnio. I don't know. What are you guys planning?
Hope all is well!!

congrats stranjegirl on having a good scan and screening. did you see your little one and get a good piccie?

[Tobaira]

so here's what you should not say the night before your first scan...

"I couldn't be having twins, I haven't had hardly any symptoms"


...
.....
.......

omg there are TWO of them???!!! I am still freaking out. Fraternal twins.. It's like finding out you're pregnant all over again.. I can't stop crying (happy crying) and shaking.. DH's mom is thrilled as is DH (he is an identical twin). I'm just in shock.. two? two? how could there possibly be two in there, I'm still getting accustom to the fact that there was one in there!
