I thought I would share a cute little story. I went out today with my best friend and my 4 year old god son. I opened up the car door to get my godson out and he hit my hand and said, Aunty Toria, no, you are not allowed to lift me up, it is bad for your baby!!!!

Haha, then he kept looking at my tummy saying 'Aunty Toria has a baby in her tummy!'

So cute, apart from when I was looking around at everyone hoping noone actually heard him haha

LUSH!!!!!!!

Hi ladies. I was hoping I could join you? We have been ttc for 11 months, and our doc had just (on the day my last AF started) referred us to a specialist. Well, it seems like the referal did the trick because I got my double line whilst on holiday last Wednesday!!! It was even more of a surprise as I didn't get a strong opk this month, but going off my cm and my last AF date I'm due on 18th March. I'm so excited!!!
I have been mega tired, having to have naps, but suffering from insomnia at night, hot hot hot, then so cold I'm shivering, a bit of a cold, tummy pains on the left, and fairly emotional, but nothing else. My boobs are fine. FINE!! I'm surprised they are ok after the amount of prodding and grabbing I have done to see if they are tender, but they are not co operating!
I've not been to the docs yet, but thinking I may get in touch sometime soon as I'll be 6 weeks. The town that I live in is TINY, so I was hoping to keep it to myself for as long as possible, but I think once I go to the docs then people will start to talk.

SO EXCITING!!!!! Happy and healthy 9 months ladies! xxxxx

Hi everyone!

Loolindey, just noticed we are quite similar! My Hub and I have been trying 12 months and had referral to FS , which I am going to cancel tommorrow!!

I live in a small town in Wales, went to the docs to meet midwife today and she was running late... loads of people from the village who knew me where in the waiting room at the same time as me!!! Some were supposed to see her after me and as they are quite far along they know she is the midwife so they would have know I am pg!!! Haven't even told our family yet!!! I managed to have a word with the receptionist and she sent me through to sit in a doctors room so they wouldnt see or hear me being called!! Stressfull! I have my due date March 16th... ishhh ) xxx Good health to everyone XX

Mscrow - have you had ur update call? All the luck in the world to you!

Whoever said they bled a little (a teaspoon amount) - try not to worry, thats very little blood. Remain calm

In terms of symptoms so far ive had: extreme tiredness, an icky tummy for 2 days; sore nipples (but not boobs); at the beginning was very HOT. Some bouts of diziness. Now i feel fine (just sore nipples still). Also i have those horrible looking bump things on my nipples already. SORRY IF TMI!!!

I daren't cancel my apointment yet. It is on the 10th August, so I think I might so it a week before. I'd be heart broken to have waited so long, and if something happens, and this is not to be, then I want a back up!

How far are you along? I was thinking about going and seeing my doc over the weekend, but not sure if it is too early. Your doctor example is my NIGHTMARE situation, we have not told anyone, and hopefully wont until after the dating scan, but just don't know how possible it will be around here!xx

MMMHHH you've made me think now Loolindey, perhaps I should wait.. my app is next Monday... should I leave it until Fri to cancel my app to see FS arrgghhh I don't know???
What would they say though ? ( if we had bad news and it was a MC) As we have caught naturally, I bet they would just say 'just Try again, you have caught naturally' ?? I don't know? I also think someone else could have my appointment who's desperate Like I was!! yes today was a nightmare. luckily don't have to see the midwife for another 5 weeks and by then I should be about 10/11ish weeks so nearly ready to announce.Touch wood. XXX

 

[loolindley]

Looks like we are a similar ammount through.

I know it seems unfair to hold onto an appointment, but I just don't believe it enough myself yet. I'm going to do my digi on the weekend, and hopefully get a 3+ result. I'll perhaps be a bit more positive then!

I got a 3+ on a digi last Fri and had a confirmation test at docs yest, still feels surreal though. Wish I knew exact dates. Can't wait for scan so they can tell us!! XXX

Hi girls,
First appointment tomorrow afternoon!! As fir symptoms, nausea hit me hard this afternoon, with vomiting this evening. I hope it's not MS this early (5+3 today). Have slept on couch since my last episode. Also, just a strange heaviness in my belly.
Wish me luck tomorrow!!

 

[Flaneuse]

Had my first ob appt today! Everything looks good! They did an ultrasound which surprised me since it is so early. But is was cool to see! They wanted me to come back on Aug 16 but I will be gone the whole month, so my next appt is early Sept. The ob also said I will have to get a c-section through their practice :-/ they schedule them at 39 weeks. If I wanted to do a vbac I'd have to go to a practice that is further away. Something to think about.

Here's a pic of the scan:

Hope everyone is feeling well! Xo

[JadeEmChar]

Congratulations to all u girls!!!

 

[Flaneuse]

Congrats JadeEmChar!!

Miranda, hope the M/s eases up for you soon!

 

[crowned]

Hi ladies,
Still no morning sickness for me, and the cramps have eased off mostly, although I had a strong bout of dizziness today and I can't make it past 3 pm without a nap in the afternoons. So far so good though! Hope you're all well - and I agree with the previous poster who said we should all be taking our prenatals - this is the most vital time for them!

Thanks for the thoughts. I got called first thing today because my HCG was high enough for them to justify a scan. I went in after work and they were so super lovely. The scan showed an 8mm gestational sac and a 1mm yolk which they seemed happy with. The internal scanner I found somewhat hilarious for it's dildo like appearance but was amazed to be told it was might right ovary that produced the egg, both ovaries looked good and I had clearly had a lot of water today. Technology eh?

Fingers crossed for the next scan they've booked me in for on 4 August to check for a heart beat. She couldn't find a reason for the bleed and thought it might just have been further implantation bleeding. I hope she's right.

That scanner is funny isn't it - a big dildo with a condom on!!! So glad to hear that everything went well You can now relax a little and enjoy your pregnancy!

Try Tesco - I picked up some the other day. £4.50 a pack of 30 plus they are doing buy 2 get one free so you get 3 packs (90 tablets) for £9. Make sure you get the pregnacare original - they are much cheaper than the conception ones. I've been taking the conception ones for the last 6 months and they are so expensive compared to the original ones.

 

[Mrs Cupcake]

im off to my first midwife appointment in 20 mins! no idea what to expect, i dont think it will be my booking in appointment because im only 6 weeks but the receptionist did warn med it would take half an hour.

will let you know what happened later!

 

[wouldluvabub]

Ok so I have a question for you ladies..
My pregnancy vitamins has been making me sick.. Before I was preg with some brands of vitamins I used to get sick and shaky, I think I was allergic. So today I am finally starting to feel better after stopping them yesterday..
While I was on them.. they made me so sick I could hardly eat..
So what's better...
Eating and no vitamins
or
vitamins and no eating..???

 

[Tipsy33]

Rang gp yesterday and have my first appt with the midwife on the 2nd August!! Makes it seem more real now!!

 

[firsttimer1]

Congrats Flaneuse so did you just see the sac that early? Got my scan on august 1st at 7 weeks... cant wait!

NJAngelAPN - Cant wiat for update on your appointment. do you think they will do a scan?

WudLuvabub - other ladies have complained of feeling ill on them too, and have tried other brands. But if vitimins in general make you ill i would say stop taking them. Then instead, eat real healthily and be aware of what veg gives you which vitimins. Also just take a folic acid pill a day - as thats the main one. If you cant even take them without being really ill then leafy greens contain lots of folic also try a glass of milk a day so you get your calcium.

*WELCOME TO ANY NEWBIES - IM ADDING YOU TO THE LIST!*

As for me.... just got my 3+ on my CB Digi!! its gone up a level every wednesday .. that was the last test now ive seen 3+ though. i WAS SOOOO WORRIED that it would have gone bk to 1-2 or something. YAY! thats a good sign right??

I had a bout f neausea yesterday - thought i wasnt actually sick. wonder if this is the start of MS or was just a random episode? I also had it twice the day before.... mmm....
