Hi ladies hope everyone is well.
AFM my bbs are less sore than they were but the tiredness has kicked in big time - work is finishing me off at the moment! No real MS to speak of but I do spend the mornings kind of dizzy and a bit nauseous. Still getting lots of on / off cramping but GP and midwife reassured me it was normal as long as I wasn't bleeding. A lot of it is like my normal endo pain and I'm presuming that that won't disappear overnight.
DH had sex the day I found out and I bled a tiny bit afterwards and freaked out!! We've done it 'gently!' a couple more times since then and no problems - apparently your cervix is more sensitive when pregnant so it's quite common...
Noo - as you know I'm in a Clio - we were planning to change this year as it's kind of getting on its last legs but not sure if finances will allow now so we're going to have to be very careful in choice of pram etc!

This morning I feel amazing. No nausea, cramping, just a tinny pulling in my abdomen on occasion. Full of energy. My food intake was pretty perfect yesterday, started using www.Supertracker.usda.gov to track and write down everything I ate. So maybe that is why?

Is it normal to feel scared when you feel good? Is it normal to have random days when you feel good? Sorry this is my first ever Bfp and I knw I ask a lot of questions but I just don't know.

Well good news: I finally got my first appt scheduled.... Bad news: I have to wait until February 27th Holy crap this is going to be a long 5 weeks.... (Talk about emotional; pretty sure I cried about it )

Renaendael: I think it's normal to feel nervous when you feel good. cuz we expect to always feel like crap. Lol

Aww she'll love her real life dolly

My son said today "Well are we gonna have a baby this year or not? Or are you gonna make me wait till next year?!" It made me smile!

I agree that it must be normal. We get so used to women talking about how bad they feel. I felt horrible for the first 10 days or so, then last night I started feeling considerably better. I was nervous that it meant something was wrong but I had my first OB appointment today and everything in fine. I say enjoy feeling good while it lasts. We have several more weeks till the happy 2nd trimester.

I can't wait to feel a little bit more "normal" - My back is killing me. Relaxin has a lot to answer for! Good thing is - Whilst I feel rough, I know my hormones are doing their thing!

Got my first appointments scheduled! But theyre making me wait until February 12 just to see the OB coordinator! I'm not exactly sure what all the nurse practitioner will do, but the receptionist made it sound like it was mostly informational. And I would assume they have to verify the pregnancy and not just take me at my word? Otherwise why specifically schedule it for 7-9 weeks just to tell me what I should and shouldn't do? After that I have to wait until March 5 to see my doctor! The waiting is painful, not sure how to reel in my impatience.

My first appointment is the next day on the 28th! We can wait out the weeks together!

 

[harvestqueen]

I requested an appointment soon because I am searching for a new ob/gyn. They can see me next thurs which is about 6 weeks since LMP. They might do a sonogram then. Is this a bad or good idea?

Also regarding symptoms. I am nearly at 5 weeks and I feel ok today and also got nervous. Just tired but that could be anyway. I read somewhere hormones can come in waves anyone else read this? Trying to just be patient and hope everything is going ok. Don't have any pregnancy tests and not sure if it would make sense to take them anyway at this point.

Just phoned the docs to tell them I'm pregnant and they booked me in for a midwife appointment, 18th February. Seems so far away! I was half expecting to go in soon for a quick blood test to confirm, but I guess not!

Was also kinda surprised they made me chose my hospital there and then over the phone, A or B. Umm don't I get to go and see them to pick? Guess not. Anyway, picked the one most of my relatives have given birth in so sure it will be fine.

Kinda made it all more real now - took an extra test this morning just to be certain and am now rather excited.

Are you in the UK? If so, you need to choose the hospital for your booking appt as most Trusts use different maternity notes and that is the hospital where you'll receive all your scans etc xx

I've still not informed anyone I'm pregnant. I don't want to yet. I'm too scared! I'm gonna drive down to GP surgery to request my "book online" info so I can book in for the GP for a couple of weeks time then get a midwife appt. I don't want to tempt fate just yet. By LMP I'm 5+2 now but ticker is based on conception.

 

[KerryGold]

Kanichen, you can change your mind about where to give birth later but as noo says, they like to get you in the 'right' system.

Here they ask you at your first appointment and if you choose the non-obvious one you then have another booking appt with the appropriation people.

xXx

 

[Noo]

I'm a bit unsure where I'd book as my local hospital is the one I trained at - It's lovely but under threat of closure to high risk bookings which would mean I'd need to transfer my care mid-pregnancy if it did book. But if I didn't book then I'd be one less request for services and it'd be playing into their hands and their reasoning for closure. Grr!

I have so many appointments booked already lol. Tomorrow I have a doctor's appt in the morning. I have had it booked for a few weeks because I was going to talk to her about seeing a specialist since it'd been 15 months and no pregnancy. Now I get to tell her I'm pregnant!

I don't like my doctor at all and have wanted a new one for a long time, so my husband booked an appt with his doctor tomorrow as well so we can see if he will be our family doctor.

I also booked an appt with a midwife for next week. We only have a few in my city & they book up really fast! If I was due in early Sept they wouldn't have been able to take me

Where do you live? Are your midwives private?

I live in British Columbia, Canada. Midwives are covered under healthcare but we only have two places that offer them right now. Don't know why! I live in a city of 90,000 people. I really dislike a midwife from the other location so I refuse to go there

My OB got me in right away when I called but it was just a basic pee test and a quick physical check. I go back at 10 weeks to hear the heartbeat and then around 14 for my first ultrasound. Does anyone know what the difference is? I thought they did an US to get the heartbeat? Maybe they just mean that the baby will be too small to see much of anything at 10 weeks. Of course my prego brain didn't think to ask till after I left the office.
