Rae I'm am devastated for your loss - i cannot think about what you must be going through.

I'm 25 expecting my first baby around 18th of march - havent had my big scan yet to get a definite date!
Looking forward to having some buddies as I really am new to this and none of my friends are going through the same life changes as me!
I'm with my boyfriend for 5 years living together for 3, the pregnancy was an unexpected AMAZING surprise - and we are over the moon now.
Please keep in touch!
 
I had my scan today and everything went well, the baby would not stop moving:happydance: the only thing i am not happy with they say i cant have a homebirth due to this being baby number 6 :cry:
 
Why would you not be able to have a home birth just because it's your 6th child? Did you have any problems with the previous pregnancies? And where they home births? Seems an odd reason to me.

Glad the little one is active and well though! =D
 
Rae, I just read. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss! My thoughts are with you and your family!
 
Rae, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family! :hugs:
 
Rae, like I said in the other thread I'm so very sorry for your loss. I've been thinking about you since yesterday and hoping that you're getting on as well as you can. I hope that we see you back here really soon.

To everyone else who's newly joined us, welcome!
 
hi

Rae so so sorry hun... rip angel kellan xxxxx
 
I just got back from the doctors where I heard my baby's heart beat for the first time, it was so magical, I can't stop smiling and thinking about it!

My next appointement isn't for 5 whole weeks! Seems too long to wait to see baby again but I will be patient!
 
oh hun that's fab! i can't wait for my first midwife appointment where i get to hear bubs! it's all so exciting
 
I spoke to my Dr today about a midwife as I wasn' really sure how it all works. For me as I live in Switzerland it depends where you are going to have the baby that determines whether you have a midwife or not!

My Dr is going to try to get me into the Private hospital where she works as they allow 100 women a year with the basic medical insurance that I have deliver there which means I will be able to have a midwife otherwise I have the baby at the University hopstial and I don't get a midwife.

My Dr gave me a list of midwifes to call that she recommends and who speak English as I do not speak very much German so it looks like it should all work out which is great. She told me I should be able to have the baby at her hospital as I am due early in the year and the quota of 100 women will not be used up by then, lucky for me and bubs and the hospital is closer to home!
 
MiissMuffet, I had my booking in appointment with the midwife at 12 weeks, just after the first scan.
The second is optional as it's a blood test for down syndrome, but accompanied by a general check over. Then I'll see someone again at 20 weeks, after my 20 week scan.

Emskins, glad you got to hear the little ones heartbeat! It really does lift your mood and make you feel so much better for the rest of the day=D
 
Aye, it is! In Holland (where I'll be giving birth and also following midwife appointments) my appointments are monthly on top of the scan appointments and the blood appointments. Which means quite a bit of travelling before I'm gonna stay over there in December. Gotta fly twice next month due to a midwife appointment and the 20 week scan. Looking forward to it though =D
 
i had my booking appointment at 7 weeks but my first midwife appointment is at 16 weeks
 
My 1st midwife was at 7 weeks - paperwork, urine test and bp, and then 10 weeks and every 4 weeks onwards where she cheks baby heartbeat, urine test and bp and has a chat, then when i'm 20 weeks i see ehr every 2 weeks then after 30 weeks it's weekly. Scan is normally at 12 weeks and then at 18-20 weeks :)
 
It is very similar here MissMuffet. I had my first appointment at 8 weeks, they did a general check up, drew some blood for general health screening, and gave me some pointers about what to do and what not to do. I saw the Dr. for the first time @ 12 weeks, when I had an ultrasound for an NT check and a pelvic exam, along with some more blood being taken for genetic testing. Then one at 16 where I heard the hb, general bp/weight/how are you feeling check-up.

From 8-28 weeks I go see her once a month, and after 28 its every two weeks until about 34, when I will start going weekly. She said as it gets close to my due date, it might even become a couple times a week depending on how my pregnancy progresses.
