June Bundles of Joy - 2016

I think it is just madness. At my current gp surgery and at my previous they never wanted you to see a Dr before the midwife. The nhs is totally squeezed as it is. Having a GP confirm a pregnancy certainly seems like a gigantic waste of time doesn't it. Obviously this doesn't apply for people with more complicated medical histories. But generally speaking.

I don't know anything about contacting the midwife team directly. As far as I was aware all midwives working "through" the gp surgeries are community midwives. They move around locations etc. Same as the health visitor team. This could be area specific though I guess. Baffling how service can be so different from one area to another.

I hope you get an app sorted soon =)


I found out they stopped doing a urine sample to confirm now back with my son I had to take a urine sample in wait a few days go back for my results then book a doctors appointment then transferred to a midwife :dohh: this time I just told them and they booked me with a doctor to confirm my dates and check my wee for infection .. and that was it obviously with moving it has made it all turn upside down even though they have my details on both systems including where my previous doctors was.. I think I'm just going to my appointment Saturday and try see what they say I'm assuming they will get me in soon but I have no idea OH has a week off though for his birthday around 20th just hope to god we have a scan in that week or I doubt he will be able to get off again :(
 
I just googled community midwifes Bath and their number came up on the local hospital page so I called them, they told me to call back at 7 weeks and they booked my appointment to see the MW at my GP office.

you're supposed to get bigger with second + pregnancy/ies because your abdominal muscles are weaker than the first time so it pops out sooner.

I feel guilty, we tried for years to get this pregnancy but I feel like the constant nausea, headaches and now heartburn are ruining it, it was nowhere near this bad with ds, plus I'll probably have spd again, with ds I was using crutches and developed obstetric cholestasis in the third tri which no doubt will return. Sorry for the moaning I'm just feeling sorry myself this evening despite not having it as bad as others.
 
:hugs: vanilla I've had very little good grace so far this pregnancy too. I feel like I never get out of first tri anx I just get all the sicky bit over again.

When I gad my son and even with my other pregnancies I didn't care about feeling sick at all. I just felt so blessed every time.

This time I think I feel angry. I'm sick of feeling sick and tired and it never gets me anywhere.
 
Tinkerbelle, I feel the same. DH has been home 3 days and my sons behaviour was so much better and he was so much happier. It makes me feel awful because I know his poor behaviour last week was because he was cooped up with a sick and miserable mama...I need to make sure we get outside more the next week or so to stay sane.

Vanilla, I am feeling the same. So whiny and miserable...and stressed that I KNOW this will last at least another 3 weeks. I just hope it stops by 11/12 weeks because I am not coping well this time. :hugs:
 
Hi ladies popping in to say nurse argues with me and said 9+5 for scan dating since af was what she goes by but luckily Dr said 8+2 so new date is June 18th and bpm was 175 and very wiggly!

I'm glad the scan went well mommyxofxone, the pic looks great!


I'm really sorry you're having a rough time time too guys, at least we can all support each other through it and hopefully the next 3-4 weeks will get rid of the horrible symptoms.
 
Aww mummyofone what a lovely pic! The nurse sounds silly as dates don't really count for much once you have a scan and it's always the scan size they o by to determine the gestation x
 
My dating scan showed me two days later in gestation than LMP, but the doctor kept my due date according to the LMP because there was little difference. Is that normal? It makes sense because the scan date would have been based on the day I stopped birth control (vs the day I started with withdrawal bleed, which happened 2 days after stopping the pill).

My son has been exactly the same, acting up because he's been cooped up with me. :(

I hear you, Pixie - not counting this pregnancy I've endured 40 weeks of first tri alone & still no baby to show for it. I'm really pleased to be pregnant again but so fed up with the nausea. :hugs: to you and to you, Vaniilla - I know where you're coming from too!

Fab scan, mummyofone :)
 
Please can I join? This is baby number 3 for us & having 2 girls already, would love a boy but really don't mind. I'm due 3rd June!
 
Awesome scan pic mummy!

I don't remember who said something about bump pics (I had a lot to catch up on) but I've been taking weekly pics. Kind of seems silly right now because there has been no change at all yet. I'm guessing with this being my second I'll show sooner and it will probably just take me by surprise and be all of a sudden one day! I had a very real feeling dream last night I was feeling movement, I am sooo anxious for that!! I loved it before besides I'm just not liking the fact that I've zero proof so far bub is Ok in there which is stressing me out. I keep thinking about ordering a doppler but figured I would drive myself mad with it. Besides I have just under two weeks to go until my first real apt.
 
ooooo miracles i've been taking weekly photos for myself, and there has been a change for me! i'm huge already at just 8 weeks.

:wave: welcome carls!

and yeah i had the same issue with dd, because i o'd on almost the SAME day with her, they gave me a hard time about due date. (different office too) and i said but, i took opks, and my ff is telling me this is the date- and they said no. Well guess what day she was born? exactly on the one ff gave me! so i'm taking this date from the dr because it's only 3 days different but will be very interested to see which day it actually comes on!!
 
I'm interested to see what my due date will be, I remember my son's went back 8 days at the scan.

It was me saying about bump pics, I have hardly any from last time- just a few from 40 weeks which is such a shame as I won't be able to do comparisons. Mummys on here who already have 2+ did you have different sized/shaped bumps with each pregnancy or stay the same? X
 
I've been taking bump photos too :haha: there is a bit of difference but it's probably just bloat still, boobs on the other hand have gone up a cup size, I woke up in agony this morning because I'd been lying on one, it's a nightmare sleeping!

I have a feeling I ovulated later then the date lmp predicts because my cycles are longer than 28 days, however it was a medicated cycle so who actually knows?!?
 
I have a suspicion i o'd later too, just due to how long it took to get my bfp and how very faint they were when i thought AF was late. I reckon i could be up to a week earlier than my signature based on lmp.

Anyone else have days when the nausea has just gone? I try really hard not tp worry :-/
