July/August (Summer Sunbeams) 2012!

Forums New posts
scared today because my symptoms seemed to have gone away today:(
 
Great news and awesome lil pic jmandrews! So happy to hear good news on here!
 
I would love to join your group! After over a year of trying and a brief stent with a reproductive specialist my DH and I are expecting number 1! Due date right now is August 16th, but because of my hCG numbers my RE is pretty convinced I have twins in there. If I do I will be due the last week of July. At my first scan I was only 4w6d, there was one gestational sack and what he thought was a second one, but it was too soon to see for sure. I have another one scheduled for Jan 4th - I'll be 7w6d. I can't wait to find out for sure!

And LovingLimes, I wouldn't be scared, just be grateful for the break! I'm sure you'll be achy and sleepy and pukey again in no time!
 
welcome to all the new faces. So glad we have that page at the front of this thread to keep track of all the due dates :thumbup:

I went to see the GP today and he just noted down that I take prenatal vits, omega 3, that I don't smoke or drink, what my blood pressure was. He repeated the advice about cheeses, pate and whatnot and gave me the number for the midwife.


Annoyingly (for me) the midwife only seems to work ten minutes a week!

Okay, okay, I exaggerate, but still, two days per week and only 9am-4pm. How am I supposed to fit that into a working week? I can't easily leave the office before 5pm and I start at 8.30.

I know I can get time off for antenatal visits, but I'd have to tell my employer I'm pregnant. I'm only five weeks along, so it seems a little early to be telling everyone. I'm not even planning on telling my family until 12 weeks (weirdly though, I have the strongest urge to tell my younger sister before anyone else, even before my mother - though that would upset her if I didn't tell her first).

I don't think my employer would kick up a stink for me to have doc appointments, but I'm new in my job and I hate having to ask for these things. Why do the hours have to be so inconvenient?!:growlmad:

I've had to tell my tutor and OH has had to tell his boss. They are obliged to keep it confidential and it makes it so much easier for them to know
 
Bunda, that is really frustrating. You are new there, yes, but if you are doing well & they like you then you shouldn't worry about taking a doctor's visit at this point. And really, all you would have to worry about anyway is someone's irritation, right? Because they can't deny you a doctor's visit, can they? And they don't need to know which doc your seeing. It will work out.

I'm going to spill the beans to my sister when I hit 6 weeks, as she did to me with her pregnancy. I can't wait to ask her about every little symptom she had!

How do you get added to the front page?

Just post your EDD and I'll add it to the front page :)
 
jmandrews - great scan pic! You must be over the moon! So pleased for you x

LovingLimes - mine come and go too. Try not to worry honey - it is normal for them to fluctuate. I read somewhere that our body gets used to the new levels of hormones and the symptoms subside until the hormones rise again... :hugs:

Bunda - mine are similar. Only Mondays during office hours - it doesn't make sense does it? Can you just tell your work that you have a drs appointment and not mention what it is for? I just hope I make it to my mw appointment this time - I have already had to cancel two :cry:, I don't want to cancel another.

Welcome to the new ladies - I look forward to getting to know you more over the coming weeks.

I've got my drs appointment first thing - keeping my fingers crossed that she books me in for a scan.
 
Thanks so much everyone!!! DH and I are thrilled! It was such an amazing experience. :)
 
Hi there!
Would love to join up here girls. How is everyone?
 
hi there!! Is it too late to join?? Due July 14th :)
 
Morning friends! I'm a raspberry today! Woop! And I've got my appt in 1/2 hour to see the nurse for the first visit. Hoping to get a scan scheduled! I'll update when I'm out of there! Have a great day everyone!
