Just curious, those of you getting blood work, is it because of a previous miscarriage? Because in my area at least, I've never heard of people getting blood work just to check their levels. Is this a UK thing?

Im in UK and havent had anything, dont see midwife until im just over 10 weeks

I'm in the US and I'm getting mine checked just because I'm a freak! lol I think it just depends on your dr. Mine knows I've been trying for a while and I was even on Clomid. I would go in on day 21 to get my progesterone checked to see if I ovulated and when I got the I automatically called for more bloodwork to be done.

Same here Jess - if I remember rightly from DD I had 8 week appt where all I did was get some leaflets and booked hospital scan @ 12 weeks

I have my midwife appointment at 8 weeks and they do blood tests then x

Definitely depends on your dr. My midwife's office checks HCG and progesterone at the confirmation and also a week later to make sure HCG is rising properly. And if there's a problem with progesterone (like with my last pregnancy), they had me come in every other day for a blood test.

And I'm in the US.

Nope, I got it done also-I think mine may be because I was getting infertility treatment.

 

[Rozzer]

I'm getting mine done because I developed hellp and ds was born at 29 weeks so they are keeping a very close eye on me.
I'm in nz.

Welcome and congrats to all the new June ladies! Our group is growing nicely

I didn't get any blood work with my son last time, so I think it will be the same this time. I'll be booking my first appointment for around 8 weeks. I'm in a different state this time around so it will be interesting to see how differently they do things.

Feeling great this morning! My stomach feels like I've done a lot of sit ups, I suppose that's a good thing?

I bought an ergo baby last night!!!

I got the bundle of joy so it came with the newborn insert. Exciting! Will be here next week!

Xx

 

[Mangoes]

Hey ladies! I just came back from a busy day. I saw the doctor to confirm the pregnancy. I was seriously thinking that it would come back negative, but man, it really hit me when the nurse announced that I was pregnant. I nearly cried! My husband is still stunned but so excited!!!

 

[Haylee.]

Aww congrats Mangoes! That's lovely news. Glad it went well. Xx

 

[ProudMomma2Be]

Hello ladies
I got my BFP yesterday
I am only 4 weeks but hopefully everything is going to be all right .
We have been trying only two month . I was already pregnant last month but ended up miscarrying .
We have 18 month old boy named Michael
My due date should be June 14
Happy and healthy pregnancy to all of us

 

[ProudMomma2Be]

So how is everyone feeling this morning? I don't know about anyone else but my first bathroom trip of the morning is always terrifying, I am so worried that AF will rear her ugly head. Actually every trip to the bathroom is a bit anxiety producing. Anyone else feeling like this?

Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and sticky 9 months!

Baby dust to all !

I know exactly what are you saying . I have had missed miscarriage in dec 2010 at 13 weeks and chemical last month . I am trying not to think about being pregnant until I hear the heartbeat but I guess I am not trying hard enough since I am on pregnancy page
Every time I go to the bathroom ( which is too often I would say ) I have to check is everything is all right and to be honest , every time I go I expect bad news . Especially with my lower back ache and occasional abdominal cramping which I had last month before the bleeding started

 

[Haylee.]

Welcome ProudMomma and congratulations! Sorry to hear about your loss last month. Sending sticky dust your way. Xx



I have eaten a lot today. I feel like I have a never ending appetite. Anyone else?
