Hi to everyone that I haven't met yet.

I've just got back from the doctors, nothing really happened and he said they don't do routine blood work to check for pregnancy so I am to take the positive tests as confirmation. I have got an appointment with the midwife on the 18th however, which will make me 7 weeks. Has anyone got an idea what she'll do? I'm nervous :s

Wish I can know when my app is still waiting for them to phone and prob be Monday now as at work today and tomorrow

She will go throught lots of paperwork history maybe take bloods- and book your scan in (will give you noted to keep and need to take them with you at any appointment) oh and wee sample (get used to peeing in a pot hehe)

I don't think that you get scans until 12w in the UK, so just paperwork, pee in a cup, maybe baseline blood work panel...
My first appointment is at 7w on the nose, and we have a dating and 'viability' scan. I really dislike that term... anyway... it's an u/s and blood work here at 7w.

Thank you! I was shocked to be honest, I wasn't expecting an appointment until 12 weeks.

Anyone having constipation?.. Can't remember if had it with #1 but it's uncomfy anything I can do to help :s

 

[Babylove100]

Yep, and bloating and trapped wind! Ouch

I've not found relief yet but if you do let me know!!

 

[SCgirl]

I had it the whole time with DS. Took mirilax all the time, then switched to colace!

 

[luvmyfam]

Welcome, Jodie!

Jalilma:

A few of my coworkers who I've told have been telling me stories about how often pregnant women wet their pants Apparently we have to be very careful when sneezing, coughing, laughing and throwing up Two of them even said they wet the bed once or twice while pregnant. Moms who have done this before, is it really that bad?! Should I go stock up on Poise and Depends?

Well my second pregnancy was definitely worse with this lol! I never fully emptied my bladder or anything but so many times I would sneeze and have to go change my panties! DH eventually thought it was hilarious... I would finally get comfy in bed and then sneezes would come on and then he would either hear my HUGE annoyed sigh or me saying "damn!t!" and he would just laugh and say "do you need to go change your underwear?". It was quite annoying! For some reason it was harder for me to hold it in while I was laying down.

 

[TTCBabyG2015]

You ladies are cracking me up! I pee a lot as is but, I'm definitely peeing a lot more now. I'm pretty sure some of the girls in my office have caught on.

I'm feeling a little better today. Did another FRER today and it's noticeably darker than the one I did on Monday. That has eased my mind a bit. I must stop buying PT's though, I've spent a small fortune on them already and my BF is going to kill me lol.

Any good plans this weekend? We have a engagement party to go to on Saturday. None of my friends know yet, wanted to give the bride to be her weekend. I'll tell them on our weekly girls night out next Thursday.

 

[luvmyfam]

Ok here is my progression as of today!

 

[luvmyfam]

Im a NICU nurse so everytime I have to leave my patients for any reason I have to tell someone else to listen for them. I've had to pee so often I'm starting to make up different excuses so they don't notice. "I'll be right back... just have to get some supplies" !

 

[wanna-b-mummy]

Haha, oh god, the peeing voluntarily and involuntarily is a pain!

With my first, at about 30 weeks plus, I remember I would pee, stand up, pull up my pants etc, wash hands, leave the bathroom and then a trickle would come out and I would have to sometimes change my underwear! At one point I thought it was my waters going until a midwife said no it's just the way your baby lays and sometimes all the pee doesn't manage to come out glam glam! Oh and yeah to sneezing, laughing, sudden movements suddenly making pee sneak out dreading to know what it's going to be like second time around now my pelvic floors probably aren't as good as they were!

I've been taking a plant-based prenatal called Rainbow Light, it is so gentle you can take it on an empty stomach and it has non-constipating iron! I love love love it! It couldn't hurt at least

 

[Hollynesss]

Lovely progression, Luvmyfam!

That is an aspect of pregnancy I knew nothing about, I'm glad I know ahead of time now!

 

[Carlinator]

I meant to say your progression looks great luvmyfam! & hi to everyone new! I'm kinda new too hehe.

I haven't taken a progression with FRER (kinda scared to lol) but I will break down & do so tomorrow. I found a cheapie test hiding in my cabinet that's only good on 1st day of missed period, which would be about today for me, and it was a fairly strong line, almost as strong as control! I breathed a big sigh of relief. Not out of the woods but it's definitely not disappearing, at least!
