February Lovebugs of 2016!! 16 pink, 15 blue, 7 yellow

Forums New posts
ajarvis, that sounds like the last thing I would want to do right now. I'm already having a hard enough time staying awake just sitting at my desk at work. Why is it that the time that we are the most tired, we can have the least caffeine? That's just mean.

mitchnorm, I think it's odd that it isn't standard to check for a heartbeat at least. My appointment was a screw up by the receptionist. She was supposed to schedule me at 7 weeks so they could check that there was a heartbeat and everything was measuring okay. 7-8 weeks is standard first appointment/ultrasound here. At least in Texas. It would drive me nuts to wait all the way to 12 weeks!
 
Hi Ladies

This thread does move fast! :)
I saw there is another one for Feb babies that has like 10,000 replies!! That's quick work!

I hate that we have done wait until 12 weeks for anything here in the UK :(

Mitchnorm, yep I am thinking an early scan at 8 weeks. I had one last time too and agree its definitely worth it.

I'm not sure where you are in the UK but we have an 'early pregnancy unit' here. You can call them with any concerns. My friend was a bit naughty and told them she had been quite crampy with a little bit of bleeding and they scanned her that day. I'm not sure I could lie...

I am still only 12dpo, but I think the below is good progression right?!

Awesome progression! :)

I know people who have made up an episode of bleeding to get early scans... I definitely couldn't do it. We'll be having a private one at 7-8 weeks before telling family our news :)
 
Yeah 12 weeks is standard here. I will definitely book one for 7-8 weeks ....Could swing the repeated CPs I guess .

I think there's an EPU in Tooting that allows drop in but that's a distance away....might check out local hospitals
 
And great progression feanorous:happydance:

Mine keep getting darker and darker which makes me happy and worried for twins :wacko:
 
Yes, great progression! I got my first BFP at 15dpo and tested again at 17dpo and it was super dark. I've been too chicken to test again! But I have no cause for concern so I'm just going to wait until my symptoms start changing, and then for my first scan on July 6. Can't wait for the first trimester to be over!
 
I'm with you guys on wanting the first tri over already.
I haven't been feeling too bad at all. I'm just more excited to start telling people, but FI is really concerned about telling people too early. I think he wants to have a scan first so that he can see baby before others know.
Since I don't even have a midwife yet and have no idea how long it will take to get set up with one, I'm starting to think about paying for a private scan at 8 weeks. I found a place in my city that does early ultrasounds between 8 - 15 weeks, with heartbeat and some images to take home for $50, which isn't too bad.
 
I called the ON and got my first appt for a week from today...which seems early to me! I was expecting it to be at 7-8 weeks, not 5.5! The lady said the would do a scan too...yay for a dot!
Think I want to POAS again...have mild nausea but boobs feel less full/tender today.
Congrats to all the new mamas just getting bfps!
 
ON = OB, silly autocorrect.

See what happens when I have no wine?!?
 
Hi everyone, can I please join? I am due on 22nd Feb. :)
 
Yay welcome sausages!! :)

Mitchnorm - we are not too far from each other, I'm in Epsom!

I'm starting to get a bit worried ladies. I've been having on and off bad cramping and lower back ache for a few days now. I keep checking for blood but none so far, but I now have a pressure/swollen getting inside my vagina. (might have checked internally for blood too often?)

What do I do? I don't have a midwife yet, the local epu is referral from a doctor only and it's difficult to get a gp appointment.

Grrr... Don't like this first trimester worry.

Maybe I'll pay for a private scan?

Try not to worry too much Mondie, if you have no bleeding it is honestly most likely just pressure/twinging/stretching which is completely normal.

If you are really concerned, you could go to the out of hours GP at the hospital?

That is definitely a good progression!!

Brandi it was a long day lol. M ready for need ha.

Mondie my lower back pain has been brutal. Some cramping. No blood. Think it's pretty normal!
 
fernorous - pretty close :thumbup:

Mondie - don't worry too much especially if theres no blood or pinkness. I have an achy lower back too and have done for a few days...sounds like normal twinges to me. If you are at all worried google for a drop in EPU there are a few out there who accept drop ins with no apt, otherwise give your GP a call tomorrow. :hugs: Everything is fine I'm sure x
 
Thanks ladies, will call my doctors tomorrow and see what they suggest. Difficulty I have is that I'm a stay at home mum with my 2.5 year old so can't just sit and wait at a hospital as I have no childcare!

LMP EDD is Feb 3. First ultrasound tomorrow
