Summer Sugar Babies! - Early July Due Dates

[kgriffin]

its great that everyone is getting their appointments booked!

Morning all.

Just back from my GPs. Only in there 10 mins! She told me to keep taking folic acid and booked me in for my first appointment with the midwife on 21st Nov. Then after that I have to have a booking appointment at 12 weeks. Exciting.

She didn't do any tests or anything but I suppose there is no need.

So, I went to the Gym last night, but couldn't speak to the owner as she was so busy. I'll have to tell her next week. I did a nice work out without getting my heart rate up too much. A bit scared to run though, might try that next week.

Hey Nic
Are you in the UK too? I had a similar experience, no tests or anything. They seem to take a fairly minimal approach here..

 

[Mrs__P]

Jill, I am totally with you. I have no symptoms. Just tiny cramps every now and again. Its weird not 'feeling pregnant'. I'm sure we'll both be wishing to be back like this in a few weeks though. hehe. And don't worry about the Drs not checking anything, they didn't this morning with me either. I presume they will do that at my 8 week appointment. I am in UK too, nr Manchester.

Ericka, Laura - No hormonal pimples or spots for me yet...phew!! hehe. That must be a right pain.

As for MS - I haven't had any as of yet! FX'd it stays away.

Its such a shame that so many of you have had bad experiences with Drs. FX'd for some good ones this time round!! And if you are ever not happy, tell them!! (or get DH to do it, hehe).

I have to go back to my GP on Monday after being told last Monday to come back in a week!

I guess I just feel in limbo, I took a test (or 10 lol), they were positive and apart from cramping and razor blades in my bra, nothing else has changed. I think just having the doctor confirm it and note it or something would have made it feel more real.

Anyway, I will be 5 weeks when I go back to the doctors, I suppose that is a more respectable number lol.

Hi

In the uk they don't confirm ur pregnancy if you've had a positive test they take your word for it hun. I think it's normal that your first drs appt is a formality and time where they give you the book, leaflets etc. I haven't had mine yet but will go next week x

i dont think they have midwives in Canada, but it sounds like its a pretty cool relationship you foster, rather than a 10 minute doctor visit!

You can get midwives here in Canada, I know here in Ottawa though there is only 1 hospital that allows the midwives to be at the hospital with you. Everyone has their comfort level but I've heard a lot of good things about midwives.

So ladies I have a dating ultrasound booked for NOv 11... I will be 6 weeks (at the latest I think)... it might be too early by a few days but we're both off that day and my doc said if it's too early she'll just send me back a week later. I have to say it's nice sometimes to have free health care.. sometimes not so much.. but for these sorts of things it's great!!

thanks kim, i didnt know that, i will have to check in vancouver if they have any. so we told my MIL on tuesday night, and she told her entire family, aunts, uncles, the works, and im a bit mad because we couldnt share our news ourselves..

 

[Nitengale]

Hey ladies!
They bumped me up to get blood work today for my Dr appointment on the 8th. It's so weird not having many symptoms, just sore bbs.

Ahh sorry... I feel your pain, we told my OH's parents, his mom told people and then one of his aunts said congrats on facebook!!!! OMG we were mad!! deleted it but not sure how many people saw it first!!!

Where does your MIL live?

HOw's your mom doing.. and just as importantly how are you doing?

Kim

 

[Mrs W 11]

Cant believe your MIL told all those people before you guys could share your news - I am worried about this happening myself and another reason I want to keep it quiet for now as I def dont want extended family knowing until its safe! Hugs xx

 

[kgriffin]

thanks Mrs W and Kim, you are so sweet,

MIL lives in Ontario and im in BC, so across the country, but all of our family is there, im pretty dissapointed that it has happened. My mom is feeling positive, her appt is on Monday for her surgery consultation, so hopefully it comes and goes as quickly as possible, thank you for checking in on me, i really appreciate it.

[tryingfaith]

Nitengale How exciting that your appt. is right around the corner. I don't have many symptoms either...except sore bb's. I didn't have any MS with my other pregnanxies either.

Mrs_P I am afraid to run as well...I don't want to get my heart rate up. So I just take brisk walks. =)

klsltsp I have an u/s on the 10th...YIPEE!! I will be 6 weeks 1 day, how exciting foe us. and im so sorry to hear that your news was almost revealed on FB...I would have been pretty upset myself. =(

Kim Thinking of you and your mom..((hugs))

me..I got some bw done today...they wanted to know my beta levels..and they came back at 2460!! YAY! I was so worried that they were gonna be low because last week they werent rising as much as I would have expected, so there is some relief there.

Have a great night ladies hope to catch up soon.

Hey all!!!!

Good Morning - well, I had one clear blue digi left from my twin pack and I was saving it for next week as I really wanted to see a pregnant 2-3, but I couldnt hold off and I did it this morning.

Well, I got Pregnant 3+ I was so chuffed. I know it doesnt really mean much as it depends on the person etc, but just so pleased that it seems to be getting stronger
