Actually, we were still in WTT until September, ours was a sweet little pumpkin surprise.

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

Aww thats nice!

[KalonKiki]

I live in the state of Missouri in the US. I have told my doctor, and my first prenatal appointment is February 25th at 10:30 am. Do you have your first appointment scheduled yet? When?

Hi ladies, congrats on your bfps! I got mine today, due 12th oct

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

Congratulations hollie.

Ive got a docs appointment for 8.30am. Xxx

 

[KalonKiki]

Congrats Holly! Do you have an appointment scheduled yet? Have you seen a doctor at all?

 

[hollie87]

Thanks
No not booked in yet, I think i'm just going to book straight with the midwife at 8 weeks, I really saw no point in the doctors appointment last time!

 

[KalonKiki]

What happens at the week 8 appointment anyway? Do they do an ultrasound/sonogram, or do they just let you hear the heartbeat?

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

Had my docs appointment and now have an appointment with the midwife on wed 13th feb at 1pm. Got some paper work to fill in before i go. Starting to feel a bit more real lol xxx

Hi Ladies,

Hi ladies!

I just found out I'm pregnant with my first! I am due on October 8th do you mind if I join??

From what I remember not a lot at the first appointment, just paperwork and advice, choose your hospital etc, may be different where you are.

Lostunicorn, I am exactly the same, how can we forget so much in 2 years haha? (intact not quite 2 years for me, shocking!) I've just this morning been shopping and bought liver and blue cheese - got home and realised - guess OH will be eating all them lol!
Congrats on your bfp's new people

How long has everyone been trying for? And what number baby is this for you?

 

[KalonKiki]

Welcome and congrats to the new !
This is baby #1 for me as well, and we were actually still WTT, but our little bean had other plans for us.

 

[hollie87]

Hehe our #1 was a surprise too Kalonkiki, I didn't have a clue about anything this time round!

 

[Lostunicorn]

Hollie87 Congrats! It's crazy isn't!!! I blame toddler brain
Obviously number 2 and we have been trying since Nov 2012, actually had a negative when I tested early but then no AF and just had a week of failing apart last week so kinda guessed! Very happy. How about you?

Kalonkiki Hee hee, congrats to you too x

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

Welcome to the new ladies. Congratulations xxx

I feel a little guilty because so many people have tried for so long but we just stopped using birth control in Jan assuming it would take a while for anything to happen... apparently not So first month just "seeing what happens" and we end up pregnant!
I am honestly still a little shocked and somewhat scared to let it sink in... I don't want to get excited just in case something goes wrong... any advice on when to get excited?

 

[KalonKiki]

Don't feel guilty hun.
I spent my first couple of days also feeling guilty, because DF and I were still waiting to try and BDd maybe 5 times at most in January and still got pregnant. There really isn't any reason to feel guilty though.
I would say that it's okay to get excited. You should never enter a pregnancy worrying about something going wrong. Especially if you're under 30, or have never had anything go wrong before in pregnancy (if you're already a mom) or you have no known reproductive issues then there is no real reason to worry yourself to death over something that has a very small chance of happening.
