when the "30 yo ttc#1" ladies get their bfp's

[Meljenn]

Aw, first team boy! Very exciting!

So, I called today and made my first appointment for Aug 13. Very excited. Hope that time flies by because I just want to make sure everything is going as it should!!

Thanks!
The first appointment will be the longest wait ever so just hang in there. I may have made it worse on myself by counting down the days

 

[MrsKChicago]

Congrats, Mel! Boys are great!

My first appointment is a week from tomorrow. It would have been tomorrow but DH couldn't go that day. Kind of a bummer

 

[PDReggie]

Waiting for appointments is very hard. I still have a tough time waiting for them. Although that may be partially because I have to wait until August 22 to find out if the placenta moved. If it hasn't then we start talking c-section. So I am having a hard time waiting for that scan. Of course it could just be that I'm incredibly impatient.

Good luck to those doing scans and first doctors appointments next week!

Ok heres a question for you ladies who know what sex your having, was the Chinese gender chart correct? I'm looking at all of the gender predictions lol, I'm predicted a girl so would be interesting to see how accurate it's been so far with you ladies

I didn't ever look at it. So, no clue!

 

[PDReggie]

If I remember correctly, there are actually two different calendars. For me the more common one was wrong. Don't remember if the random different one was correct or not. Heartbeat was correct for me. Don't remember if any of the others were right

Both were wrong for me. 75% of the wives tales said girl also. My 2 year old cousin was the only one that kept saying boy

Congrats Trumpetbeth!

So today I started 5 weeks. I am a bit nervous because of my past chemical. This is about the time I started bleeding. I am just ready for next week to roll around so I can start feeling positive again. I am also trying to stop the urge of POAS!! I keep telling myself it will only add more worry! AHH! I want out of first trimester already! haha

 

[ladders]

Yep I know the feeling, I worried till past my mc at six and a half weeks, then felt better till ten weeks now I'm panicking about mmc, just want my scan and it will hopefully be okay and then I can start properly enjoying being pregnant

 

[Phoenix82]

Hey Ladies

Is it me or is the first bit scary as hell?

I thought my BFP would mean happiness and excitement, now I'm just waiting in fear incase something is wrong and m/s has arrived in a big way

Scary times

 

[MrsKChicago]

I'm worried, but somehow not as worried as I expected to be. It must be a hormonal thing, because I'm normally the biggest worrier ever about everything.

 

[Phoenix82]

I guess the fear is that I've tried for so long so not to have a viable pregnancy would devastate me

The last 5-7 days my nausea has been so ban I cannot see how I can survive until 12 weeks!!! I haven't been able to work since tues which is totally not like me.

I just want the ms to be bare able otherwise I'll never be able to hide it from work and with all of this a lose would be too hard

I'm sorry you're feeling so crappy. I think the worry is totally normal, I'm honestly shocked that I don't have it worse. Terrible morning sickness is a sign of a good, strong pregnancy, though! When's your first appointment?

 

[Phoenix82]

You are v lucky!!

Umm I had a 6 week scan tues but it was too early to see if the baby was in the sac that was present so next Friday is my next epu scan.

Not long till yours!!!

 

[MrsKChicago]

Hopefully they'll get a better look at your next scan! I'm looking forward to my appointment, but I have no idea if I'll get an ultrasound. There's no real consistent schedule here, it varies from doctor to doctor, and I'm going to a midwife group instead, which makes it even more unpredictable. They made me wait for 8-9 weeks, which kind of suggests that they'll be either scanning or dopplering, I think. I really want an ultrasound, but I'll lose it if I don't even get to hear a heartbeat!

The only explanation I have about not freaking out is hormones. It has to be hormones. I'm Miss Anxiety most of the time about everything...

 

[SoonToBePreg]

Yikes, I just hit double digits in number of days to go. It's moving a lot quicker now.

I did get sent for a dating ultrasound scan when I went for my first appointment at 8 weeks. I got the scan because I told the doctor my periods were irregular (which they were since I'd just come off birth control). It's a little annoying that they don't always give scans.

 

[lsd2721]

I just want out of the first trimester so that the miscarriage risk goes way down. After having one last year it just makes me wonder if everything is okay. I am starting to feel a bit nauseous so feeling better about it today. I just have to stay away from googling stuff. I read last night, as I was drinking chamomile tea, that chamomile tea is not the best to drink while pregnant! I also read about staying away from cheeses like Feta and Brie...and I had some Feta cheese for lunch! LOL So of course I just started worrying. DH helped me though by saying if you didn't eat everything that people say not to eat during pregnancy I'd just be eating crackers!

Your scan is tomorrow, right MrsK?

Ladders, when is yours? I can't believe you have to wait this long! I would have called the Dr by now and BEGGED for a scan! I'm sure everything is fine though!

Went shopping today for my niece's birthday party tomorrow and couldn't help myself looking for the future March Mallow. ;-) SO MUCH CUTE STUFF!!! I've started looking at what cribs, play yards, jumpers, tummy time mats, and all sorts of stuff that I want!! LOL I'm so excited!
