Was feeling sick etc last week but feeling much better now thankgod! I haven't had tiredness really at all! This is different to my two daughters so maybe it's a boy... Haha unlikely / but cannot wait to find that out!! Only about another 13 weeks before I can do that!

We're still deciding if we'll find out or not. I think he wants to leave it, but I'd like to know

I knew on my first so maybe a surprise would be nice this time around.

It's a different pregnancy completely so maybe a girl this time! I already have names picked, hopefully I stick with them now.

dublinlady · 13-01-2015 10:45pm

We found out both previous times cos to be honest having a baby is enough of a shock never mind the gender! I prefer to be able to imagine the birth and early days during the pregnancy and I find knowing the gender makes that easier - it's like it helps me to bond with the baby before it arrives if that makes sense!

I am the same such a different pregnancy so far than i had with my little boy ! Only a little tired and only feel sick in car !!! We are going to find out again as well roughly 15 weeks and counting ha ha. Got scan date for exactly week 12 can not wait !

septbaby15 · 16-01-2015 10:33am

Due in Sept also. Tink I'm 6 weeks today. Had an u/s last Mon. Having another 1 the 26th to see the heart beat. Other half is blaming all my feelings on the pregnancy. Very annoying!

littlebean · 17-01-2015 8:44pm

Hi Everyone, Just came across this thread, I'm 6 weeks today going by my dates, with my first. Like everyone I'm dying to get to the stage where I can tell everyone. The first scan seems so far away. I have my first antenatal app on the 2nd of feb. just reading through the posts about the early scans. When can you start getting an early scan and is it expensive? a couple of my close friends have already seemed to figure out I'm pregnant so I'm trying to come up with creative excuses to where im not drinking etc

We're getting a scan on the 31st, I'll be 7 weeks 1 day. Getting it in ultrasound dimensions in Blackrock. Really excited for it. It's costing us €105

I'm off the cigarettes now too, so don't know what I'll say at an upcoming wedding. Thinking of saying I couldn't afford the cigarettes anymore and drink 7up and say it's vodka....go to bed early and say I'm not well

I was a very heavy smoker so hoping nobody cops it.

littlebean · 17-01-2015 11:25pm

I think I will just let on I'm having a few drinks too but obviously not actually drinking. I'm not a smoker but I can imagine that must be an even bigger giveaway!! Will you tell anyone if they ask or deny?

I think I will look into getting an early scan at 9 weeks, the wait for the other scan will drive me crazy!!

We said we'd tell people if they asked, but don't want to take away from the couples day! So we'll just try to act casual, pretend I'm drinking and head to bed early.

We had to get this scab at 7 weeks , id be driven Crazy waiting for the 12 week hospital appointment

I reckon pretending to drink is the best option, then act drunk! :P

LH2013 · 18-01-2015 4:38pm

7weeks 2 days today and the nausea is all night and all day ! Way worse than with my son !! We haven't even gotten dressed today !

septbaby15 · 18-01-2015 11:33pm

I have no pregnancy symptoms apart from sore boobs and greasy hair. Any1 else finding their hair oily?

dublinlady · 18-01-2015 11:58pm

I'm just shattered - all I want to do is lie in bed! No chance! 7+5 today - hopefully the tiredness will lift in a few weeks!

Leogirl · 19-01-2015 2:00am

Hey,

Just found out i'm about 5 weeks pregnant today :-) due end of sept by all calculations. It's my first and I'm bursting to tell people so thought I could join this thread :-)

B00514202 · 19-01-2015 8:31am

Hey all just wondering how long did you have to wait for the letter confirming your first hospital appointment. I went to GP last week to confirm pregnancy & get registered, she said she would notify the hospital (ballinasloe) now just waiting for the letter. Going public cos GP said I'd be mad to go private in Ballinasloe only difference is Id have to pay 2000-3000e ontop of health insurance.
I'm really eager to get date for appt cos really need to get due date confirmed - I'm 4 months off pill & not really had proper period since so dating at the moment is based on when the home pregnancy tests changed from negative to positive. Not the most accurate method.

spottybananas · 19-01-2015 9:05am

You'll probably get it during this week, I confirmed with gp on a Monday and had letter by the end of the week. When the tests changed from negative to positive would be quite accurate, usually a positive test is possible as soon as your period is late by a day or a few. I got distinctly positive tests when I was about 7 hrs late.

Thanks a million for your reply, you were right about the letter, it arrived Mon evening. I actually have my first appointment next week as first day of last period was 1st Nov (that's the only period I got since stopping pill in Aug). I took a few pregnancy tests during Dec and all were negative so the Dr reckons I only ovulated in Dec. so this scan is really important for my dating. Hopefully il stay in the September group.

Kaylami · 23-01-2015 10:38pm

Hi ladies,

Guess I'll be joining you. Just found out today due around 6th. So roughly 7 weeks.

Wow u will be busy

Congrats!

Kaylami · 27-01-2015 12:05pm

Thanks dublinlady

Just registered today for Holles Street. Little bit apprehensive as had my 3 girls in drogheda but don't fancy a 2 1/2 drive in labour!

Feeling a little bit naseous today but the girls have a vomiting bug so I'm putting it down to that.

It's the exhaustion that's killing me all I want to do is sleep thank god I'm off work for a few weeks!

B00514202 · 31-01-2015 8:10am

Hey Ladies, had my booking in appt / 12 week scan this week. Finally I have a due date of 9/9, which puts me just over 8 weeks. Dr said il be called back for next scan in 14 weeks time - as in at 22 weeks. To me it's seems strange that my next scan won't be until May. As far as I know it's just GP visits every 4 weeks till then. Scan was amazing got to hear heartbeat & just about make out the head.
Hope ye are all doing well & that morning sickness not driving you mad. I'm just nauseous when I wake & all evening- but no getting sick so can't complain.
Oh have terrible heartburn / gas which I've never suffered from before.
We are going to wait till the 12 week mark to start telling family & friends, despite not having a scan at 12 weeks, it's just too early now.

Kaylami · 31-01-2015 11:24am

Oh congratulations must be so exciting to see the little one.

As far as I know they normally do a big scan at 20/22 weeks to check everything.

It sucks having to wait though!

Ihatecuddles · 31-01-2015 11:57pm

We had a scan today, measuring at 7 weeks 1 day. Heartbeat was really nice to see.

Hospital appointment at 12 weeks. Can't wait to see the difference.

Kaylami · 03-02-2015 12:08pm

Have my first appointment on the 11th March in one of the satellite clinics for Holles Street. I'll be 14 weeks.

So excited to finally meet this baby!

How's everyone feeling? Wish the weeks would speed up to 12!!!

I'm 9 weeks today!! it couldn't be going slower!!!

We got a private scan this week in Blackrock and are both in total shock...we're having twins!!! So it's been a highly emotional few days, but starting to calm now. Just couldn't believe it. It's what you hear happens to others, and don't it'll happen to you!! so I'm very nervous but trying not to be, as that's not good for any of us!

Hi Kaylami, I accidentally popped into this thread, I was sept 2014 but I saw your post.

I went to the Wicklow satellite clinic and they did not give a scan at the booking appointment, they said they only gave the 20 week scan at Holles St.

I was crushed to find out, I had been really pumped to see my baby and felt like the rug was pulled out from under me so just wanted to warn you in case it is the same at your satellite clinic -maybe ring and check beforehand?

I ended up getting a private scan done in the ultrasound clinic in bray at 12 weeks - highly recommend it if you have to go down that route!

BTW - congrats Sept 2015 girls!

Thanks a million for that info. From asking around I did realise they don't scan you. So disappointed.

I'm going to book a private scan in the meantime.

LH2013 · 12-02-2015 9:38pm

We have our first scan Tomorrow week - can not wait - the next one after that is at 32 weeks so ill just get a private anomaly scan at 22 weeks - We did this with our little boy and it was great for reassurance !

Met my beautiful little baby today

Very healthy and very active baby

Delighted and feel more relaxed now !

Leogirl · 25-02-2015 10:37am

Anybody notice their symptoms gone after 10 weeks or so? I noticed quite suddenly that boobs no longer sore & I'm not feeling crampy/tight around the tummy. I rang the doc & they said its normal for symptoms to ease around now cause hormones level out but it feels weird - I dont feel pregnant really!

Had scan at 9 weeks and saw baby, heartbeat good & strong etc so this is keeping me from total panic!! :-(

larossa · 25-02-2015 11:43am

Hi leogirl

I have experienced the same thing with symptoms suddenly stopping overnight at 11 weeks 3days. I'm currently 12 weeks 3 days and don't feel pregnant at all but I have been told it is normal and that the placenta has likely taken over and doing the work now instead. I'm sure all is ok and there is nothing to worry about.

Thank you. I know I should be delighted - pregnancy would be easy if it felt this way all the time :-) but it was just strange to suddenly stop. Everything I'm reading & what the docs & other women tell me is that its quite normal. I should just relax. I have another scan 11th March so I can relax after that. I'll go to hospital if any bleeds etc.

Kaylami · 25-02-2015 3:14pm

Happened to me on all three. Went from feeling terrible sore boob nausea to feeling fine. Normally around the 14 week mark for me.

10 + 5 today so still a good bit to go!

Leogirl · 25-02-2015 3:38pm

Yeah I'm about the same as you (10 +3) so I thought it might be a bit early to feel this way. From what I've read, this usually happens at 12-14 weeks. Although I'm been told all pregnancies are different & even though I'm not being silly, to try to stop worrying & relax. Enjoy the reprieve :-)

heldel00 · 26-02-2015 9:22pm

Girls I'm popping in here from the October thread but just have a quick question. I'm in or around 8 weeks. Some of your posts have said "I'm 11 weeks 6 days" etc but have you had your scans or how can ye be so certain?

Locum filled in the blue referral form when I was with him 2 weeks ago so do I just sit back, relax and wait for the scan appointment to come? Public patient btw

Going by dates of last period. I'm exactly 11 weeks today. This might change slightly when I have my first scan but I'm pretty confident and have been right on the other 3.

What hospital are you attending? Normally you get your appointment out in the post but it can take a few weeks.

Confided in a friend today who has recently gone through the system in Cavan, where I'll be attending, and she told me that I need to make contact with the unit myself to get the ball rolling so will do that first thing Monday.
She got a scan at 11 weeks and quite regular after so I'm more content now knowing that.

Kaylami · 28-02-2015 1:27pm

Glad you got it sorted and best of luck with your pregnancy ☺

LH2013 · 28-02-2015 5:30pm

I'm only 11 & 1 and I'm huge already too. Can't imagine how you coping with work.

I'm off with post natal depression and between morning sickness and running round after the 3 girls I'm in bed by 8 most nights!

LH2013 · 01-03-2015 10:39am

You have it tough

I hope you are getting some time to mind yourself as well !

Kaylami · 05-03-2015 12:48pm

Have my first scan tomorrow excited and nervous in equal measure!

PandaPoo · 06-03-2015 5:10pm

I'm 12 weeks today and you wouldn't even know I was pregnant. I can feel firmness and a slight bump but nothing noticeable.

Have my booking appointment in the Pearse St clinic on Tuesday so I'm looking forward to that. I've had two private scans already and I'm tempted to get another, as I won't be scanned until 21 weeks in the hospital.

We went to ultrasound dimensions I'm Blackrock, and the ultrasound Suite in Bray. Our hospital scan isn't until May, ages away!

Kaylami · 07-03-2015 12:40pm

Yeah my hospital scan isn't until 6th May! It seems like a lifetime away!

I went to ultrasound suite in bray found them very good.

Leogirl · 09-03-2015 9:50am

12 weeks today - FINALLY!! :-) I'm in for my scan (I hope) in Holles St on Wednesday - cant wait to see the little one!
