- I'm not too young or too old (I'm 34!), I'm "in wedlock", all my children will be by the same father.... I don't understand what everyone's problem is 
Even my DH is lukewarm about the whole thing.
Oh Tanikit, it is so lovely to have some solid positive news on here today
You must be on
I've just come on to say I've got an early assessment scan a week on Monday (26th), a week-early birthday present
Just wondered if any of you lot have had less than + reactions from family etc. It just feels like nobody's truly genuinely happy for me (bar one or two friends who stick by me no matter what) -
I adore being a mum to my twins and it hurts and angers me that people have such little faith in me that they don't think a third child will be anything other than a wonderful thing.
I read about the poor poor souls who have lost their sooo-wanted beanies and I wonder, if that were to be me, who would I turn to? Or more to the point, who would I actually WANT to turn to?
Sorry to ramble but I'm feeling pretty lonely at the moment x
to those who need them and 
to those who have had scans with good outcomes.
Just back from my scan - baby is measuring 7.5mm in size and heartbeat was 146 beats/min so everything was looking good (and there is only one
My DD threw up in the waiting room though and I nearly cried before I got to see the doctor - ah well this too will pass... The gynae gave me some meds for the vomiting and said I can get a prescription for other meds for the nausea once the gastro is passed and at least he said I was doing the right thing with the vitamins as I only took the folic acid today because I am feeling so sick.
Anyway, so excited to see baby and know everything looks good in there. It was an abdominal scan too and very clear.
Hi!! I am a newbie!! hehe!
Took a pregnancy test yesterday, got my
Super pleased, have been trying for 23 cycles and finally got my pink lines!! I have done 3 tests just to make sure! haha!
This is my third baby, I have two beautiful boys already (5 and 3)
looking forward to getting to know you all and sharing this magical experience with you!!!
My due date is : 23rd March 2011!!!
Morning ladies!
The counting is very confusing to me too, but here's how I understand it (for whatever this is worth LOL!)
You count from the first day of LMP. Knowing the exact date of ovulation helps explain those who deliver earlier or later by a few days, but they'll still count you from first day of LMP. As you go along, you are said to be Xweeks and Ydays along (like for me, today is 5+3) - this is how many days/weeks you've completed. Then at any given time you are in (progressing through) week _____ - like for me, I'm 5+3 which means I'm in week 6. But I won't be "six weeks pregnant" till the end of this week. Make sense?
On the scans, the way I understand it is the HB can be picked up transvaginally any time after that 6 (completed) weeks marker. Like in my case, my "six week scan" is scheduled next Tuesday, when I'll be 6+2 and actually in week seven. Hope this helps someone! If I'm wrong please let me know but this is the only sense I have been able to make out of the whole thing LOL!
The nurse said because of my long cycle they might send me for a date scan first and then for the other testing I have request to have done. The other testing has to be done between particular weeks so they need to know exactly how far along I am.

Interesting! Because I have a really loooong cycle (34 days) if I go by my LMP it would change my due date by almost 1.5 weeks. I've got my ticker set up by ovulation date because that, to me, is more accurate. We'll see what the Dr. says tomorrow.
Oh, did I mention I have a Dr. appointment tomorrow
I think that's probably why my due date change by two weeks when I was preg with Edward. I had figured it out that I should have been due on Jan 6, then the ultrasound moved it to Jan 16 and then he was 2 weeks late! I was preg FOREVER
I have a long cycle too, 35 days so the Dr has put me a week ahead of what I actually am, even though I know there's no way as I hadn't even ovulated yet Not everyone has the perfect 28 day cycle with ov on day 14 which is why due date is an estimate and can be up to 2 weeks either way, if only certain Dr's would remember this! Anyhoo I'll stop harping on
