[Sweety21]

Hey Ladies! can I join in? little late but, better late than never.

This is my third pregnancy and I am 6+1 today. Probably will be going for scan on 6+5.
I am due on 26th September based on LMP.

littledreamer: I think canceling Jamaica is a good idea honestly. We actually canceled our trip to Hawaii as well mainly because of the dengue fever on the island, but now I'm glad because even dengue fever aside, I'd also be worried about Zika even though hawaii has no known cases of Zika, you never know. Might be too late when we find out that Zika has spread. I was upset too about Hawaii but now that I'm having MS, I'm not so sad about it. I don't think I would've enjoyed it very much anyways hehe...

lora: Congrats! Sounds wonderful. My DH has an identical twin and I'm always amused that there exists a doppelganger for him hahaha.

gina: good luck on your appt!

Lora - massive congratulations! What a lovely surprise xx

 

[Hope16]

New to the thread, hope you all don't mind. I'm just gonna follow along until I get acquainted with everyone

Got a first appointment at the OBGYN for Thursday afternoon! Just a get to know you/history and confirm pregnancy (which hoping they won't dismiss me when I fail the urine test) and to schedule all the lab work and ob appointments no scan as of right now but so excited still!

Good luck Gina! I hope they give you great news and maybe you even get a scan soon!

Thanks campn! I really hope so. I just at least want a blood test. That will make it so much more real. Seeing my little guy will be amazing. But I don't think dh is going to come for this appt. So kinda hoping they won't do one then just so he doesn't miss it.

Welcome hope and sweety!!

When does the MW start using a Doppler at appointments?

Lora - oh my goodness!!! Congratulations! That's great!

I'm secretly hoping I DONT get twins. My husband would die.

When does the MW start using a Doppler at appointments?

I think it varies. I've got a midwife appointment at 15 weeks and she said she'll try to listen then. My two other pregnancies they didn't listen until 24 weeks - I think I've heard that their official guidelines say not to do it earlier.

Depends if your midwife is a stickler for the rules I guess! X

LaraLoo army 7 week scan it was 9.3mm which they seemed happy about. Lots of variation at this stage I nthink.

When does the MW start using a Doppler at appointments?

Last pregnancy they used it at ten weeks but I was totally miserable with HG so she broke the rules for me to give me something good to focus on.

Wow congrats loraloo!

Hi ladies

I am beginning to panic about my lack of symptoms. I am hoping I am just lucky but I am starting to get nervous ... Might be because of my scan on Saturday.

Is anyone else feeling pretty normal? My only symptoms are being completely knackered most nights after work and being thirsty.

Sorry think I just need some reassurance. X

I heard the heartbeat at my booking in appointment. I think they usually try and wait until after 10 weeks?

 

[Icecreamtwist]

*knocks on wood* I have been the same as you! Only symptoms are peeing often (I drink a lot of water though and have always peed often), sleepy at night and some very mild cramping here and there but even that has subsided. I've been emotional too though!

I think we are just lucky! *knocks on wood*

 

[gina236]

Sarah I didn't start feeling anything really until this week. Other than being tired. This week my boobs started killing me and started to get nauseous. It's very possible your just lucky or it just hasn't hit yet.

 

[xanzaba]

Sarah- with my other 2 pregnancies, I didn't really get any symptoms besides being tired all the time until 8 weeks. This time, ms struck early- 6 weeks, but seems to have leveled off earlier too.

I'm exhausted- worked all weekend for a deadline, and then was up at 6 working. Now it's 4:30 and I'm calling it a day! I think I'm going to go get some chocolate ice cream. Hope I don't spread a craving

 

[lesondemavie]

Xan I think that's within range for ms to start to ease. I wasn't feeling as tired but then I found this chart, and saw that progesterone, which is primarily responsible for fatigue, drops off and hits a low around week 7.



It looks like hcg, which is primarily responsible for ms, usually peaks at 10 weeks and then drops off. That being said, these are just averages and not set in stone. We're all different. 9.5 weeks is definitely still in striking distance. Plus it sounds like you have some good routines going.

 

[gina236]

Thanks for that chart les. I was just thinking how I have a little more energy. Actually cooked dinner tonight instead of laying on the couch all night lol.

 

[ajarvis]

HI ladies! Can I join along with you guys too? I'm due October 1st, but my youngest was about a week early and I'm guessing this one will be too. My "range" is anywhere from September 10th to October 13th.

Exciting to read all about you ladies upcoming appts! I'm still waiting to hear back from a midwife. Wishing, dreaming, and hoping I get one! Looking forward to getting to know you!
