Pregnant with#1 I Love my bump buddies :)

[mamaxo]

Im kinda pissed tho... Cause i never got to see the doc, they never asked when my last period was. Or told me how far along I am.. They just handed me a script and a Paper to hand to the desk lady to schedule another app...
Well i handed it to her and she said ok so They do ultrasounds at 8 weeks...
I said umm ok, When will you guys test my blood, ( my levels and such cause i want to make sure things are progressing like they should) She said o umm we can do that when ever you want "i was thinking realy Isnt your job togo ahead and do it" Why should i have to ask for blood work done? I didnt tell her anyof that i just said ok friday is good...

I can almost bet that when i go in on friday they will do blood and send me home, I want to see a doctor what dont they get, i thought that was there job, why isnt she seeing me?
Youd think they would have called me back into a room, have her come in tell me im pregnant and Tell me when im due, let me know that she wants me to come back in for ultrasound BUT NOPE IT DIDNT HAPPEN THAT WAY!!!

I would be pissed too! I had my blood taken and tested at 5 weeks! I had an ultrasound at 6 weeks to make sure the little one was actually implanted in the uterus. Have you considered a new OB Gyn? I had switched to a new office when I found out I was pregnant. I was very disappointed in the one I had before because they messed with my Birth Control dosages and told me I had two uteruses...yeah I don't! You are so early in the pregnancy, maybe a change will be good!

Very upset i wanted to know more befor i told the family on christmas..

[wontgiveup]

Ok so i called the nurse And asked if i could see the doc Friday she said "NO"
That they would do my blood work and stuff i said
Oh um ok its just I have a lot of questions, i dont even no my due date yet, she said dont worry the nurses will answer all your questions, will even give you a book i said ok ty and hung up!!
Im still mad cause Im just wondering why it is that i cant see a doc yet :'( im realy emostional right now and Trying to get ahold of my tears and anger.. so im going to take a nap lol
Ty you girls... Ill try to stay positive, id just feel better If i had a doc that i felt Cared!!!

I found this apparently its common not to have a prenatal visit till 8-10weeks.

HMMM guess ill be on my own for a few weeks

 

[mamaxo]

I was told to make an appointment as soon as I find out that I was pregnant. They took me in right away. You can either look around for a new office or wait til they accept you for a doctor appointment! Good luck!

I'd say look around hun I got in a week ago at 4 weeks 2 days and didn't have an ultra sound (not till 10 weeks for me) but they took my bloods and medical history. I didn't like that because I'm classified as low risk I only get a call back from the bloodwork if something is abnormal. So no call but doesn't make me feel better!! Can you ask around to anyone who can give you a recommendation? I didn't think I'd go the midwife route but am in love with the women in my practice.

 

[wontgiveup]

Yeah i just dont understand why they didnt take any of my medical history or go ahead and do the blood???? Im so confused, they said the nurses would take care of everything Friday, i mean even if i cant get in for a prenatal visit yet, the doc could have least seen me and asked if i was taking any meds, When my last period was, and maybe tell me how all this stuff works...
I tried to lay down but this crap is on my mind and its upseting me... Hubby said well theres nothing i can do about it right now so chill!!! Excusse me I cant chill!!!!
And i read something online that i prob shouldnt have...
Were women went in for there first ulrasound and there was no heartbeat and never miscarried or had any symptoms, they all had to have dnc or something like that im not sure what its called..... I want to enjoy my pregnancy and im finding it hard to right now.
A friend of mine not real close but she knows how hard we have been trying, she her self struggled for yrs but she finaly had her first last yr, I told her i was pregnant not once but twice over the last to days, she didnt even say congrats... and when i found out she was expecting i was over the roof happy for her.... she also mentioned they did ultrasound and everything the day she found out... SO im just in a over all sucky mood!!!!!!

 

[Bmama]

wontgiveup I'm so sorry how your friend reacted. Lots of coming your way hun. You and your hubby are the ones that truly matter so try and enjoy the little moments with him until you get in to your doc. Maybe the reason they didn't do all that work is you are a typical "low risk" pregnancy- I hate that definition because if you've never been pregnant than how do they know you're low risk? But take a deep breath and know that most pregnancies end up healthy and going to term, a stat my midwife told me but I have to tell myself every day so I don't work myself up. xxxxx

 

[wontgiveup]

See iv had to docs in the past tell me i had pcos with out ever doing any testing including this one that i seen to day, Well didnt get to see her, but you no what i mean.....
And ty your right, i think ill feel better once i get to tell my two best friends fridays and then the family on christmas eve and christmas, cant wait..... Ill just have to be patience with my doc for now i guess Im sure once i get to tell my mom(mothernlaw) she can make me feel lots better and Shes a women who knows how to get things done "What she says goes" and if people are treating me unfairly you better believe shell take care of it lol!!! i love her so much

 

[Bmama]

aw yes confiding in someone who makes you feel better is what you need!! I did enjoy the time my OH and I kept it our secret but it wasn't long (3 days) until we spilled the beans to our parents. Even my MIL was more supportive than I ever would have thought, telling me not to worry about missing work because most women have a hard time the first tri, it makes a world of a difference to hear those reassuring words from someone who's been through it. xxx

SO, I have just got off the phone from my new OB. She is one if the best in the state and I'm glad!! Yesterday I went to the GP and had my bloods, urine tests done. The OB called as my bloods have showed that yes I'm pregnant but that it has caused me to get an 'over active thyroid'. I have to get more blood taken in a week and if its still up, they will have me seeing a specialist to monitor things throughout the pregnancy. Apparently it can be treated and the baby will be fine but involves ongoing monitoring and meds. Goddamn it.
I just pray it doesn't cause mc or anything else nasty. At least now I know that I will be closely monitored throughout the process!!!
Wontgiveup - based on these results though, I would push to get all tests done. As its been caught early, I should be fine but there is clearly enough weird things that can happen. It's best to get the all clear ASAP!

Hi. I've got a couple of questions or you ladies...

1. If you've had strong symptoms for nearly two weeks and then they start to diminish, does this mean your bean isn't sticking?

2. At approx 4-5 weeks gestation and only BFNs, will an ultrasound show anything if there's a sticky bean?

Any replies will be greatly appreciated! Thanks

This is my first baby, like most on the thread, But from what iv read lots of women arnt haveing any symptoms at all and thats its completly normal, Like me so far, i have symptoms one day then none the next its a back and forth thing

4-5weeks and still BFN then id say your not pregnant its not very common to get neg urine test and still be carrying a baby... if at all... But yes a ultrasound will show if there is anything in there, but 4-5 weeks is realy early and normaly only shows a yolk sac and maybe a little spec... Thats your little bean
Even tho its not very common to get neg urine test and still be pregnant it does happen. My mom had it happen with me so yes It can happen... Hope this helps a bit..

When I some to the doctor about not really having symptoms, she told me that its really too early for any of that yet as the hormone levels aren't high enough. It's funny how I was obsessively symptom spotting but clearly just trying to grab hold of a little hope!!
Off to tell my parents tonight, very excited. Wonder if pregnancy causing an overactive thyroid is hereditary??

Hey guys, can I join your thread? I'm 3wks+6, had a BFP and going to the GP this morning for, hopefully, confirmation that I'm pregnant with my first! I'm feeling pretty anxious about it because I know it's so early and things could easily go wrong. I'm getting kind of paranoid that they'll tell me it was a false positive and I'm not pregnant at all.

Congratulations to all of you

 

[snapsphere]

Hi wontgiveup. Thanks for your reply. Time will tell I suppose. It's so hard to wait when you don't know what's going on! But I really appreciate helpful replies. congrats on your bfp!

 

[snapsphere]

Thanks for the positive note. I will stay hopeful until I have reason to not be
Congrats on your bfp and have fun telling your folks! Let us know how you tell them and ow it went
