    Just found out, still trying to get my head around it!

    Seems to be one of these for every month up to Febuary 2015, so thought I'd start off this one for anyone else due in March.

    Yep, looking like March 7th for me.

    Very nervous though as miscarried in April, had one regular cycle and now pregnant again. Finding it hard to relax though :(

    Were you far gone when you miscarried in April? These early days are nerve-wracking. I'm due 12th March so just a few days behind you. Have you had any symptoms?

    I was 7 weeks.

    No real tangeable symptoms but that's quite normal for me, this is my 3rd pregnancy and thankfully I never suffered with any horrible symptoms, you?

    No, nothing. This is my first pregnancy so I don't know what to expect really. It still doesn't feel real somehow. I don't feel pregnant...

    You too!! No I don't think it's too soon. I did the home pregnancy tests on Thurs and rang the doctor to make an appointment for Fri. It really is hard to know what to expect, I'm still finding it hard to believe.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 499 ✭✭ainy


    will make my appointment so!! yeah i cant believe it myself, have been feeling a bit different over the last week or so, main ones are my sense of smell is so heightened and then my breasts are feeling bigger and tender already!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 499 ✭✭ainy


    so went for my appointment today, just got blood pressure checked and signed a form, she said I just need to wait to hear from hospital about appointment there, forgot to ask when I should hear about that! any ideas?

    What hospital are you going to? I rang the Coombe to book in and they told me I had to fill in a form and post it into them so sent that off yesterday. I think then they write out with an appointment for the booking visit around 12 weeks.

    i'm going to Cavan, my doctor filled in the form and said she'd send it in and all I had to do was wait to hear from hospital! so guess its the waiting game at the min! would just love to know when my appointment is so i'd have the next marker to aim for!

    When I went to my doctor they sent the stuff off to cavan and then you'll get a letter from cavan to ring and make your appointment . I had my appointment for last wednesday(due January)so you'll get an appointment for roughly when your 14 weeks along!:)
    Sorry for hijacking ladies!Best of luck to all of you.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,725 ✭✭✭Kauto0709


    I've booked myself a private early pregnancy scan for a couple of weeks time, it just seemed too long to wait until the hospital one. Really looking forward to it now, fingers crossed everything goes ok!

    Sorry for butting in, I'm one of the July 2014 mums to be and waiting (im)patiently for the imminent arrival. I was just like you, had very very few symptoms bar some cramping around the 5-6 week mark. No one warns you about the worry that comes with early pregnancy, especially when you seem to have fewer symptoms than other people. Your body is doing exactly what it's meant to though, and just try and get some of the worry off your chest if it surfaces, it's totally normal. It does get easier as time passes and baby becomes an established bump :) Huge congrats on all the new pregnancies.

    Thank you for sharing your experience, it's reassurring to hear that someone else was the same. I am no doubt over-worrying, I will feel better after I have a scan and know that everything is ok. And like you said it will be easier when there is an established bump. When did you start to show? Did you get any symptoms as the pregnancy went on? Best of luck with your little bundle of joy, you are so close!

    I've decided to take the option of an early scan having previously decided against it so I have a scan at 7 and 3 on 22nd :)

(can I blame baby brain yet???!!) going to ring the mlu tomorrow and hopefully will have a date soon!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 499 ✭✭ainy


    so rang the midwifery led unit, she understood what happen, gave me the impression it happens a lot! had to get my is to send a referral letter again directed to them, but she said I should expect my appointment for end of august when i'm 12 weeks!

    It is so easy to panic in these early stages, I worry a lot aswell. I am 6 weeks tomorrow and have booked an early scan for next week just for reassurance for myself.

    Will update later, with, hopefully, good news :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 169 ✭✭baby_pebble


    so I was 6 weeks yesterday and it just so happened that I received an appointment few weeks ago for an ultrasound on my stomach as I was having problems. I went in not knowing if they would go ahead or not but the lovely lady who carried out the ultrasound checked on the baby first before everything else and said it all looks good and its a single pregnancy (phew :) ) she carried on then with everything else. So worked out nicely for me to get a scan done so early for something else but could check on the baby at the same time! :)

    My doctor said i would be around 20 weeks when I go for a scan (galway) was into the doctor last week so I wonder how long before I hear from the hospital?

    well I had heard from the hospital (cavan) in 4 working days from when I was with my gp and she sent a form off., once I heard from the hospital, it was a letter to say ring and organise an appointment so did that and got an appointment 3 working days later! seemed to be quick enough so you should get your appointment soon!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,872 ✭✭✭Sittingpretty


    All good here! :) SO relieved!

    Measuring 3 days behind my dates but doc said + or - up to 5 days is fine.

    So per the scan 7 weeks today :)
