God you did well to avoid the questions Neyite. Before I told my family, my sister copped on the first time i went to her house and didn't smoke.. even with my "ive a cold" lies
Im 12+5 today and ive my first hospital appointment tomorrow.. Im totally nervous and excited about it.. but more nervous, cuz im afraid to be too excited if you get me? Since the only real confirmation i have was wee on a stick 7 weeks ago... Ill be so happy to get the appointment over and done with and finally allow myself to get excited about being "knocked up" (as my OH has started to call it)
But one thing ive noticed, just since yesterday, is im weeing way more than usual, i thought it was supposed to lessen the further into pregnancy you go?
And even tho I feel like im bursting I go for a wee, then ten mins later i feel like I need to go again!!! Its driving me up the walls!! FOUR times last night i got up for wee's, that in normal everyday life wouldnt even qualify as wee's :eek: t'is crazy, but i guess its all good signs
Will be back tomorrow, hopefully beeming from ear to ear wooohoooo 0 -
Neyite, so exciting having your scan this week! I hope all goes well
Hopefully you're one of lucky people that doesn't get morning sickness! the tiredness sounds like a good sign too.
Sounds like you did very well to hide it from your mum this weekend!
Staticdoor71, brill that you're having your first appointment too this week! hope it goes well. I'm the same with the wee's. Thankfully not so much at night but quite a lot during the day!
Saggycaggy, that's gas with the cocoa pops. I'm still off a lot of food but go through phases for a day or two when one food item will be ok & I stick to that for a day or two (ranchero crisps anyone? ) then go off that food altogether!
Can't wait for my appetite to get back to normal.
Welcome on board Anne Other
Well I had an utterly wasted hospital appointment today.
Went in this afternoon excited/nervous about my first consultant appt, waited an hour to be seen to only to be told that me being there was a mistake, that my first Ante Natal appt. would be in another 8 weeks :eek::mad::mad:
My GP had written to the hospital months and months ago for an appointment with the gynae as I was ttc for some time without success.
I did receive an appointment for this for December which my GP asked me not to cancel (just in case
).
The Doctor I spoke to today reckons that the appointment today was my gynae appt being brought forward.
I wouldn't mind, but I'm assuming when you attend a hospital that ALL your records are kept in the one file?
That being the case, the last page written in should have shown that I attended 2 weeks prior in the early pregnancy unit for a scan?
If they had even checked my blood pressure/used the doppler to check baby I mightn't have felt so hard done by! but just to be sent off as I was had me peeved!0 -

ah lads...(ladeeeeeeeys), it was a-maze-ing!!!!!
It was sooooo surreal!!! The bambino was sooo lively and i could feel nothing! and a right little poser too!
I gained a few days, im now due 1st not 4th of april... i kid you not!!! Makes me 13+3 today, as opposed to the 13 i thought i was.. but sure how sure can they really be :eek: im just so happy that everythings ok and i got to see our bubz..
Only thing is she FREAKED me out cuz im A negative (rheuses negative or something like that) and she panicked me, but i called into my own doc and she put my brain at ease...
I was trying to attach a pic there but i dunno if its working.. im sure ye will let me know.
Hope everyone else is doing good??? Im sure ill bounce back to earth at somestage:D:D 0 -

crikey and with twins.. your lucky as hell!! Im only coming back to life now, thirteen weeks after starting to vomit my life away... and i know someone with twins who was admitted to hospital her sickness was so bad.. so well done you.. you must be delighted 0 -
Staticdoor71, congrats on your scan today its brill!! so clear! Delighted you got on so well
Omg Neyite CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!! massive massive congrats, I'm all teared up reading your news that's amazing!
You must be absolutely over the moon! that's fantastic news. Can't believe you haven't a tap of morning sickness either, bonus!
Brill that you have another scan so soon too, no doubt you'll be in shock and disbelief for a few days so it'll be a lovely reminder of how lucky you are seeing the second scan!
Thanks Ms2011, I think my main disappointment wasn't the waste of time in hospital the other day, it was not being given any reassurance that all is well! But so far so good, still constantly shattered tired & appetite poor so the hormones seem to be doing their job!0 -

Would you consider a private scan? I had one at 8 and half weeks and it was so reassuring, got me by until 14 weeks until I could get my hospital scan!
I got my bloods done on Monday and have a lovely bruise the size of a 2 euro coin as evidence :eek: Having never even been in hospital before all of this poking and proding is a little unsettling for me!!
Anyway the fun bit is on Friday when I have my first hospital scan, so so nervous that everything is ok but excited too 0 -

I already had 2 scans in hospital
I'm just worrying unnecessarily is all!
I want to hold off til (please God) later in the pregnancy before I get a private scan.
I got a 3/4D one with my daughter at 24 weeks I think to find out the sex and it was amazing! really clear!
Fingers crossed all goes well for you with your first hospital scan! so exciting having that to look forward to
Neyite that's gas, must get the Bon Jovi one for my little girl 0 -
Gonna double post – here and in the ttc forum!
Had my early scan this morning.
What an emotional morning! I had been doing my best not to be thinking too negatively or positively – on one hand I was scared that I have no symptoms and thought that I might have had a missed miscarriage, on the other I was thrilled to be finally pregnant, even if it had been for a little while, all the time trying not to stress either way. So you can imagine my head has been a right muddle for the last few weeks.
This morning’s scan was purely to check for a heartbeat and multiples and check the dating, however at this stage dates can obviously be here or there slightly. So the nurse explained that she would firstly check the heartbeat (and therefore put us at ease) then check the rest. It was a vaginal scan so no need for the full bladder, thank god
So, within seconds, she located the sac and showed us the heartbeat, and I started to cry with pure relief. Baby is measuring my dates exactly at 7w4d. Then she located another heartbeat....TWINS!!! The second little one is measuring 7w1d, and his/her sac is much smaller, but the heartbeat was good and strong all the same. Big twin is 13.25mm and little twin is 10.55mm. Both ovaries showed the corpus luteum, so progesterone is not a concern. Since they have their own sacs, they are non identical.
We are overjoyed, shocked, delighted, terrified, relieved – pretty much every emotion is running through us at the moment. My OH is totally lost for words and was in awe of what we saw on the screen. Its early days still, and everything in Gods hands, but so far, he is doing a decent job of keeping my little family safe.
I got the referral for the GP to start the ball rolling on my maternity paperwork, and I also have to notify my endocrinologist due to the prolactin issue, and have another private scan in 2 weeks to check on them.
big congrats or double congrats 0 -

Hi guys, ten weeks today, morning sickness is still horrible but I keep telling myself I'm a quarter of the way there!!! I'm going public and my GP said he'd refer me to a hospital at 12 weeks, and said I should have my scan at 16 wks (I'm a bit skeptical about getting an appointment within 4 weeks, I'm presuming it will be delayed) and so excited about seeing a proper pic of the baby!
Just wondering (its early days yet), but have any of you ladies decided on finding out the sex before birth?
Hope everyone's doing well 0 -
Hi everyone, Congrads to everyone too.... I'm halfway through 5 weeks pregnant this week! We told our parents only because we were soo excited but not ready to tell anyone else yet... We found out last week ( I had a feeling ) I'm absolutly delighted, delighted.. This is our first baby and I'm happy, excited, scared a million feelings in one and my partner is the same ha ha..
I have all the usual symtoms except the sickness, I've only felt little twinges if illness here and there and little bit of dizzyness,, but I'm no sickness yet.. Should I be getting morning sickness and all by now? I litterally only gettting about 2 or 3 hours between meals once i pass the three hours i'm leaping with the hungery my stomach is gurgling and making loud noises.. I dunno anyone experiencing the same or ever felt the same before...0 -

Hi cocoemma, congrats!!!
I wouldn't worry about the lack of sickness, and some people are lucky enough not to get it at all. My morning sickness only hit at about 7 or 8 weeks, this is my first too so I'm no expert, but it seems to be different for everyone. I say enjoy the meals now, in case the sickness hits, and enjoy the pregnancy!!! 0 -

Congrats! I am 8 weeks tomorrow and have not had a bit of sickness (yet!) . I got cramps at 5-6 weeks, but they went quickly. I get hungry very quickly - like one minute Im grand and can wait a half hour until lunchtime, then 5 mins later I am so starving I feel ill, so I have started a little stash of goodies in my desk drawer for emergencies. Its all normal as my scan yesterday showed 0 -

Congrats CocoEmma! I'm the very same, I go from grand to absolutely ravenously starving in 60 seconds flat! It wouldn't be so frustrating if I wasn't turned off by nearly every food type at the moment!
Custard Cream your husbands sister is lucky to have a friend like you. Most people seem to turn squeamish at the mere thoughts of the topic!
I think an email to her might be the way to go, like Neyite suggested point her in the direction of the TTC thread?
She mightn't realise how much support and advice is out there.
Shuwaaaah I like your way of thinking, we're quarter of the way there I hope you do get your appt soon, four weeks away wouldn't be too bad a wait.
I'm going to find the sex (all going well), I have a feeling its another girl but wouldn't mind being proved wrong 0 -

No twins in the famiily - these critters are Clomid twins. We were TTC for 2 years and went investigating a year ago, they found no cause for infertility but stuck me on a few drugs anyway, and hey presto!
Im thinking about starting a baby diary for each twin (I have already decided to try to curtail all the matchy matchy stuff - grannies will do all that anyway) but I really feel that these are two very different individuals who will be bunking in together for the next 8 months.)0 -
