Congrats ladies Just wondering if any of you are experiencing symptoms coming and going a bit.... I got all freaked out yesterday because I didn't have any cramping or twinges, and my boobs felt much less tender... however they were killing me again this morning, and I felt a few "tweaks" in my abdomen... It's hard not to think the worst when they come and go like that :eek: KKkitty does this just keep happening? My first appointment in the Rotunda is 29th May, can't WAIT to have the scan.

Hi and congrats These tweaks are just your uterus expanding to accommodate your bundle of joys' growth in the womb. If you have any concerns speak with your GP. All pregnancies are different too so don't be afraid to ask questions during your check ups.

Kerrygirl1972

Thanks Yes, I suppose I was just wondering really if anyone else is finding that the symptoms seem to come and go a lot... it certainly is an interesting journey so far!

If you're experiencing nausea eat little and often. A overly full tummy and morning sickness are not pleasant let me tell you Rennies or Gaviscon are safe for heartburn. Rest when you can because while your body is expanding you can become quite tired quite easily.

My EDD is December 13th. Have my booking appointment with midwives clinic on 16th May. I have booked an early scan privately for May Bank Hol weekend, cant wait!!!

Congratulations everyone, lots of special little end of year bundles on the way! I'm also due around Christmas, second baby. Excited but also very nervous as have had a couple of miscarriages in the past, hoping to get an early scan and I think will start to believe it if all goes well at that.

Kerrygirl, yes, on my last (successful) pregnancy my symptoms came and went all the time, drove me bananas worrying!! Also, I found, right up until about 23/24 weeks my bump came and went i.e. I'd have a big bump in the evening and wake up with practically a flat stomach in the morning, used to freak me out! It's all ahead of us!

Sorry if this is a little awkward, posting anonymously for the moment and all, but looking like we could be about to join this thread. My Wife has done 2 pregnancy tests now that are showing positive and we'll be going to the Doctor's later for confirmation. If all comes back good, she'll be due just around Christmas Day we reckon.

But this is a huge shock for us because we've been trying for years to the point where we've gone through IVF, and we were due to start another cycle last month. Only my wife's blood test came back with a hormone level too high for them to procede. And now suddenly it looks like we've conceived naturally.

So despite 2 positive tests it's hard for it to sink in and after years of failures I keep waiting for a catch. Will be un-feckin-real if this happens though

Also due Dec 15th
Gone private in the past but really want to go with the midwives clinic this time so had to book a public appointment and then switching to private if I am deemed unsuitable.
SHocked that my 1st appointment is for 2nd JUly.

HiddenForAWhile, first of all, huge congrats to you and your wife It really is a miracle. We had also been trying for years, and had what seemed like endless cycles of IUI and IVF/ICSI, our last one was 1½ years ago. After that we just had to walk away from it, we couldn't take anymore either emotionally or physically. I turned 40 in March of this year, and decided that it was time to get on with my life and enjoy it for what it is, and if that meant childless then so be it. We started looking at all the things we could do, instead of missing all the things we would never know. Then out of the blue, I became pregnant. First time ever. We had been told it would never happen naturally, so we are just gobsmacked. I am 7 weeks now, and loving every minute. Miracles really truly do happen, and I hope right now you are looking at each other and laughing and crying with utter joy. Enjoy this and very very best of luck x

Thanks Lumbarda! These pesky symptoms will drive me crazy Mind you I'm not complaining Your bump coming and going like that is amazing, I'm not surprised it freaked you out!

Hiddenfor awhile, that is just wonderful news, congratulations to you and to your wife. We too had our first baby after years of infertility/IVFs etc., it wasn't a natural pregnancy though but as a result of our 12th :eek: cycle of fertility treatment so we were at the stage of giving up when our beautiful little miracle happened for us! Hoping that you got good news at the doctors and that you can start to believe that this is really happening for you.

Kerrygirl, I know, the symptoms coming and going would wreck your head, craving apple pie at the mo so going with that as think there could be worse things to be eating!!!

Just an update:

Went to Doctor's last night and he was so matter of fact 'Yep you're pregnant' that it sunk in fairly quickly to me!! My Wife however might take a little longer (and probably a scan!) before it hits home. So smiling away to myself here now, while trying not to get too high hopes just in case.

When at the Doc's, he asked us things like 'Which hospital?' etc and we realised we hadn't a clue, never focused on the what happens next phase. So I'm off to trawl this forum for advice!

KerryGirl, Lumbarda - thanks for the best wishes and same back to ye
