[meow951]

Sorry im such a moaner at the moment but i don't really have anyone else that gets why i'm worried lol

Nearly 7 weeks anyway and then it's my bday and booking appointment soon and scan a couple of weeks after that, so got some milestones to look forward to!

How is everyone else feeling?

 

[Duffy]

My name not on the first page for may 18 lol can you add me

 

[meow951]

Why do i keep forgetting people!!!

So sorry Duffy, i'll put you on now.

I blame it on pregnancy brain!

Hey everyone,

I haven't got a date for a scan, do I need to book this? I called the doctors and they've made an appointment for me to see the midwife on 21st September - I guess they might schedule my scan then?

Chaos I'm with you on the bloat, my tummy is flat in the morning but by the time I go to bed I look 5 months pregnant!

Its different in the UK... they dont' do early scan unless there is a reason to worry (spotting, cramping, previous miscarriages etc).
I think you get a 12 week scan first... your MW will arrange that.

Correct me if I'm wrong other UK girls?

 

[JJay]

Thanks Lisa, If they say I have to wait until 12 weeks, I'm tempted to book a private scan before just to check everything is OK. I'd hate to get all of the way to 12 weeks and find out there was a problem.

 

[lisaf]

lots of girls feel that way JJay

 

[stay.positive]

It's the same here in Canada. You don't usually get a scan until 12 weeks unless there is a problem. I was already booked for a scan to check out a cyst in early Oct, so if all goes well I will have one at 8 weeks, thank goodness.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I get early ultrasounds because I am considered high risk, but did not have my first ultrasound with my daughter until 13 weeks.

 

[mummy3]

Meow sorry you have been sick, good sign though Is there private places for scans near you?

Lisa ewwwwww at the dog poo, gross!

My ob rang hubby last night, we were sent a lab form for more bloods but not told when to do it She sent me in a new prescribtion for meds (barfing so much now my throat is bleeding) and she offered to see and scan me this morning, hubby decided that tuesday was better for work, and is kicking himself now Men don't think like us women!

Anja also has diarrhea and kindly covered me in it earlier

Chaos, can you persuade button to eat something else for brekkie if it makes you ill, Anja likes eggs

 

[lisaf]

Throwing up until your throat bleeds sounds bad!
As for bloodwork, if its not your first, they usually like to do it 2 days after the first, but really anytime 2days+ after is fine... you can still see how much its doubling which I think is more important than anything else?

hi all-
yikes mummy3!! hope the nausea meds work quickly!

as for a scan- I don't know! I have my first official OB appt in two weeks. Will they do a scan?

and yep, I'm feeling the cold bug too. I've been sneezing, stuffy, runny nose all that good stuff. I've been feeling nauseous for days, even to the point of running to the bathroom thinking I'm going to puke, but so far everything's staying down. which is good, but I'm a little worried about weight gain as the only thing that makes me feel better is to eat!

 

[lisaf]

soph... I'm feeling the same way...worried about weight gain because eating makes me feel better!!! Haven't thrown up any real food yet either.

Lots of my friends got scanned on their first appointment at about 8 weeks. Though I'm not sure if all doctors automatically do it then or not. They like to date the pregnancy nice and early... don't be surprised if its an internal scan as the earlier its done, the more likely it is to be internal.

 

[marie87]

First of all, Congratulations !!

Can I join the list? My EDD is May 17th.

 

[Chaos]

Oh God, weight gain. With Buttons pregnancy, I went from 140 to 200lbs I have a feeling my over the top for ritz crackers (I mean, like a box a day) and boiled eggs *might* have had something to do with it!

I lost 28 lbs the week of giving birth and I'm now about 10lbs above my PP weight .. just in time to put it all back on .. YAY! I'm eating nothing but freaking carrots this time. (chocolate covered is still healthy .. right .. RIGHT????

Welcome Marie

Chaos, carrots and chocolate? Interesting!

Lisa, I had the bloods, 2 days apart so I guess anyday this week is good

I'm very excited about the new sickness meds, hubby took the phonecall so I will know what I'm getting when he gets home

I wouldn't worry too much about weightgain, for 1 theres not much we can do about it and 2 it comes off easily enough after birth I gained 30lb last time(only got to 33 wks) and about 50/60lbs the other 2 (both 35weekers) it all came off in the 6 months after birth.

 

[lisaf]

lol, weight has NEVER come off easy for me and since I'm already overweight I know they'll only want me to gain the minimum amounts... so yeah, I'm conscious of it.

 

[Duffy]

I'll be 8 weeks when I go in but I'll get to see the baby, I remember the last time I was pregnant as tiny and undeveloped as she was I was amazed when she lifted her head and moved her arms, just amazed.

Then the next time will be at 20 weeks around Jan 5 when I can find out the sex.

Is anyone going to find out the sex or are you keeping it a surprise?
