Let us know how your scan goes Grapefruit moon!

I went to docs during week, but I didnt get a pregnancy test or blood test or any tests for that matter. Just filled out form for the scan which she said she would fax to hospital.
I dunno, is this normal???

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend

Hello ladies, just did the clearly pregnancy test last night and the indicator returned 3+ weeks pregnant. I had very strong suspicions as was a week late and my breasts were unbelievably tender. So, i took the test and let the oh reason the result. So it was the opposite of how it is in the movies. He told me so nervous as its my first and haven't seen my gyno yet. Don't know when to tell the family. My sis is due in a few weeks.

Congrats Emma!

I know it can all be a bit scary at first, but just enjoy it (apart from the nausea and sore boobs etc!)

You should go see your GP just to get it confirmed then go about picking your hospital etc. It's up to you when you tell your family, a lot of people wait til 12 weeks, I told mine pretty much straight away but I'm still living at home so it would have been hard to hide it!

Hope your not feeling too icky and congrats again! :P

Congratulations Emma believe me i know about surprises but can't wait now to see what happens,

i was about 7weeks when we told our family's but couldn't wait any longer but still haven't told others. Can't wait to tell though :-)

Grapefruit Moon

Hi all,
Thanks so much for the good luck wishes. Yesterday was great!

Didn't really know what to expect and then as soon as the soonographer put the scan thing on my belly, our baby popped up on the screen. Oh my god, so surreal and brilliant! I couldn't stop crying but had to try cos every time I moved my belly the pic went!

So there he was (I'm sure it's a he, no real reason!), hands waving, could even seen his little fingers, everything the right size and the right place and as it should be. Hearing the heartbeat was immense, and seeing the wee heart beating too, just wow. Was so so relieved and now the happiness and excitement is kicking in properly for the first time, yey!!

Best of luck to everyone here to, exciting times!!

Betsie_xr3i

glad everything went so well for you grapefruit moon, its wonderful seeing the baby just moving around in there

new look

Aw so exciting Grapefruit Moon! Sounds like it was truly fantastic. Can't wait to get to that stage!
Is anyone else completely and utterly exhausted to the point where ye can hardly do anything? I knew I'd be tired but I didn't think I'd be floored this much

Betsie_xr3i

Oh don't talk to me about being tired, Im so tired i don't have energy for anything at all and its wrecking my head :-(

0ctober

Tell me about it, by 3.00pm I'm ready for bed! It's impossible to concentrate too, I find I just completely lose track mid-sentence, damn pregnancy brain!

Oh and Grapefruit Moon delighted your scan went well, it sounds amazing! I can't wait for mine but I'm nervous too, just hope everything is ok.

laura.

Aww Betsie, sounds like you have had an awful time, but glad everything is ok now again. Hope your resting and lounging about letting the oh treat you like royalty

That's great news about your scan Grapefruit, really puts your mind at rest when you have a scan done, even just to see the heartbeat going like mad made me almost cry. I think it is the unexpected we are all afraid of. If we went by everything we read on the internet we would be quivering wrecks wrapped up in bubble wrap lol. Think we have to keep remembering how well cushioned our little beans are in there, and our body's were built for this, so we shouldn't be so afraid.

Anyway I'm feeling grand today, boobs are KILLING me (pain woke me this morning, but I was laying on them lol) and was extremely nauseous yesterday and zero energy, but other than that all is good. Hope we all have a good week and we're all one week closer to the second trimester YAY.

And welcome to the new momma to be

emmabrighton

Thanking you everyone. If Im not preggers, then there is definately something iffy going on with my boobs. Definately gone up at least one size if not more in the last 2 weeks, they also have seriously changed shape and i noticed they were all veiny last night. No sickness yet. Should i still worry that it will hit or might i be one of the lucky ones. Fingers crossed ;-)

Am so tired this time ladies. Don't remember being this tired last time and I had a 14 month old to run around after! Maybe I didn't have the time to be tired! Feel sick constantly and have dreadful ligament pains. This pregnancy is so different to my first two.

Betsie_xr3i

Im back to work today ladies and Im exhaustead :-( the kids are running rings around me, don't know how ill manage them over t.e next few months :-(

Laura you are so right, that just the kind of rational and logical thinking I need to remind myself off! And I need to stop reading scary things on the Internet!

To anyone whose tired I know how you feel, the last 2/3 weeks I was pretty much useless when I came home from work, was barely able to keep my eyes open! A few times I napped for an hour as soon as I came home, and I used my weekends to sleep and do very little so my batteries would be recharged for Monday (not possible when you have other kids I know). The other thing that helped was going for a short walk, 10/15 mins at lunch time or in the evening,when I could drag my arse outside but it does help me feel better.
Thankfully though the tiredness seems to be lifting now, so fingers crossed that lasts.

So, who is having a scan this week and when??! Good luck!!

kinioiri

My scan is on Monday. Can't wait.

Betsie_xr3i

I had my GP appointment on the 22nd of December and got my appointment for the scan for next Monday the 30th. I am going to Clonmel. I was private last time, going public this time and my appointment is sooner!
I phoned the hospital 2 weeks ago and they told me when my appointment was. Still didn't get the letter. Hope you get your appointment soon.:)

Hi Betsie. Its the lady Doctor, Dr. Vijay. I had Dr Attia with my two boys and he was brilliant, I think he is gone now. I think because I am going public I will only meet Dr Vijay the first time and it could be someone different the following time.

Is this your first baby?

Betsie_xr3i

Yeah i saw Dr vjay when i was these last week, Im under Dr haq now met him in the clinic 3weeks ago not sure about him, although have to go back to him next week in the hospital so will see how i get on, yeah its my 1st baby :-)

kinioiri

I couldn't say a bad word about Clonmel. The midwives are excellent, really nice. This is my third baby please God. I had an early miscarriage before the two boys, so I won't settle until I see the scan on Monday. If you have any questions about Clonmel or anything about pregnancy just ask.

Betsie_xr3i

I will, thanks so much :-)

Yeah anything i heard about clonmel was all good,

best of luck on Monday ingestion all s well

My letter took about 3-4 weeks to come, but I sent it in with the xmas post so it probably got delayed. My appointment was very soon after I got a reply- had it today!
Had my first scan, it really was so surreal, the most amazing feeling ever! We could see the little heart beating away and baby moving around, it even gave us a little wave as if to say "hi mummy, hi daddy!" Didn't get to hear the heart beat though, but still delighted, been grinning ear to ear all day
Ahhh August seems so far away but I'm sure it'll be on top of us before we know it!

scunners

Sounds so exciting! Mine is still 12 days away, don't know why I thought I could wait till 12 weeks!!! Really need something exciting to happen to help with all this sickness and tiredness. Soooooon!

mammytobe

Thanks for your replies, its been 3 weeks now since the doctor faxed it over, but Ill wait another week then maybe give the hosp a call.

Cant wait cause the pregnancy still dosent feel real yet, ive no sickness whatsoever, suppose I shouldnt complain!!

0ctober

I know what you mean about it not feeling real, it's only today that it's starting to really hit home, hence the big stupid grin and spending hours staring at my scan pic! Hope you're not waiting too much longer xxx

Betsie_xr3i

so sick this morning and Im minding 3children Ages 2,4 and 6 and in no humour for it

kinioiri

Had my first scan today:) 11 weeks and 1 day. Still have the same due date August 18th.
Great to see the little one wriggling around:)
