***June Buds***Come on in. 39 Babies!

[MummyCat]

yes indeed, was 3 days late last time also, so even if im only ultered by a day or so, i may prove to be a june bump lol Chloes birthday 19th may so june good for me, but id rather find out sooner, the thought of having to go back a few days/week is daunting .. then again an early baby like chloe would be nice lol. she was actually due the 17th june, so 4 weeks early

Lottie was very late... due in March, born in April... but unless this one is early, I should be a June Mummy

Look forward to hearing your dates from scan!!

Hi alnwickbride,

Congratulations! I'll be paying for a scan at 8 weeks. Patly to put my mind at ease and partly because I'm too impatient to wait til 12 weeks!

DH thought he'd booked me in with the midwife Tuesday but having just looked at the card it says a week Tuesday, so going to have to call tomorrow and check which it is.

I'm suffering from the pelvic cramps too, the worst go round in to my back, but they are infrequent and totally manageable. My digestion is up the creek and have told DH if I need to go to the toilet and he's on it he better get off pronto!

I'm also having tonnes of really sticky yellow CM....is anyone else getting this?

 

[Lois]

I got the sticky, yellow cm in my first pregnancy and figure it'll appear any day now this time around. It's quite common apparently - I assume it's a side-effect of the mucous plug forming in the cervix.

Hey ladies,

Symptoms so far are:
Pounding heart when climbing stairs (I have always got this), stuffy nose, shortness of breath, slight nausea, feeling very hungry, sore boobs on and off and sleeplessness.

Also, I am waking very early in the morning for a wee, but then can't get back to sleep!

Has anyone had their hcg levels done?

I thought the plug was the likely cause of the CM. It's fascinatingly gross though.

Hi girls and congrats, im due 8th june glad to see so many people to enjoy it with, re: cm mine has started to kick in.. yum(not)

 

[mommytoTandE]

Hi Girls! May I join? Just tested yesterday and got my positive! I REALLY thought I was out before I testes since I had a bad lower back ache when I woke... But looking back I really was peeing A LOT and had a lot of nausea. I am off to the doctors tomorrow for bloods. I have no idea my due date yet as my cycle this time was really wacky, esp after I put in a positive pregnancy test in Fertilty Friend it moved my O up by over a week. So I really have no idea how far along I am at the moment! I am just very excited and nervous ... Today I have noticed a lot of wet cm... gross lol

 

[Lois]

Hi NandO1, Congratulations! Yum indeed! lol

Congratulations mommytoTandE! So many people seem to get their BFP on a month when they're convinced it hasn't happened. I've taken a stab in the dark and put you down as due 12th June. Let us know when you get a EDD and good luck for your appointment.

I couldn't resist and took one of the clearblue digitals that tells you how far along you are this morning(even though I know through simple logic). I had a sudden panic when I'd done the deed and thought "shit, what if it says not pregnant?!" Happily came back "Pregnant" with "2-3" weeks since conception which is bang on. Hooray!

Just spoke to my doctor's office and they said no need to see a GP unless I particularly want to. They'll take my word for it that I'm pregnant and I just have to fill in a couple of forms at reception to refer myself to midwifery...saves an unecessary appointment. I loved going to that appointment first time around though because you get to say "Hello, I'm pregnant" without worrying about whether to wait til 12 weeks.

Think I'll go and sort the forms out today.

Hope everyone's had a good start to the week.

Arghhh I am so stressed right now. Just got back from my doctors. Went to see them as have had some spotting since I got bfp. Anyways, the doctor basically told me that there is nothing they can do at this stage and I could lose the baby, or not, only time will tell. He also gave me the number for the early pregnancy advisory unit and said that I could make an appointment for an early scan to check the baby etc. Just rang the number and he has given the number for the termination clinic

I rang the doctors and told the receptionist and she gave me the correct number, just rang it and they said that I have to be referred by the doctor and can't make my own appointment

I'm so stressed and angry at my doctors for being so poo and insesitive I feel like I have no faith in them at all. Just had a total meltdown at the receptionist.

Sorry to bring all the joy down

 

[Sooz]

That's terrible Hun, how can anyone make a mistake like that? How bloody insensitive...I would be fuming! Have you asked the receptionist to get the doctor to refer you?

I called mine this morning and they have made my appointment for next week instead of this. I'm a little annoyed too, as DH explained to them my old doctor told me I should be seen once I got my BFP because I would need Iron & Hemoglobin tests due to my erratic blood levels.

I have to take my registration forms with me today so may mention it to the receptionist then. I'm currently pooped on the sofa halfway through cleaning the rabbits out...my back couldn't cope with anymore.

 

[CucciCoo]

I know, what an insensitive loon. Doc just rang me back and he's spoken to the scan unit. As I suspected it's too early for a scan but I'm going back to docs at 2 for bloods. If my hcg is over 1000 then I can have a scan, if not then I need another blood test next week to see if the levels have increased. I kinda assumed that's what they'd do in the first place but just took the other docs word for it.

Hope you get your tests sorted sooz, can you make an appointment with the nurse?

Hi there.... can I come and join in please? I think I could probably do with the support!

Lois - thank you for "inviting" me - my EDD is 8th June (DH's Bday!!). Funnily enough my first choice name if we have another girl is Lois!

I've done a big rambling post on the first tri board, but in short, I'm 38 (DH is 47, so in other words we are ancient!!) and we have a 19 month old who was conceived naturally after we were told we couldn't have children. We've had loads of fertility treatment - 3 years of TTC before help, then clomid, IUI's, IVF's, the whole shebang. We thought we were blessed with just her, but we got married 3 weeks ago and had been deliberately preventing till then as I was a bit paranoid I would catch and not be able to get in my wedding dress lol! So just before the wedding we stopped bothering to prevent and to my utter, stunned amazement I got my BFP today - first month!!

Feeling very odd about it all - swing from being happy to madly worrying!! I keep thinking how hard it was (DD was a reflux & colic baby who kept one or both of us awake all night pretty much for the first 10 weeks solidly!) Am also worrying about practical issues such as the size of the house, money, how my DD will react, working full time with 2 small children, etc, etc. All a bit much to take in at this stage! I really, seriously did not expect this to happen for months, if not ever!

I phoned the doctors and they said I can have the same community midwife as I had before which I am really pleased about as she was fab - shes calling me tomorrow to arrange to come over for "form filling" which I seem to recall was a lengthy meeting last time!

I'll have a play with tickers and sigs and things later.

I look forward to getting to know you all!!

Sophie

Wow what an amazing story! We caught first month too but I'm still in stages of shock at the moment....it keeps me from worrying.

I'm off to give my registration forms to the doctors tonight, I know my midwife is called Michelle....I just hope she's nice as the receptionist was quite huffy on the phone.
