Of course its ok. How are you doing?

Good. Life has thrown a curve ball in that I need bunion surgery on both feet and obviously can't be TTC with a general anaesthetic so I'm a bit up in the air about things. Will probably keep TTC until July then stop if we haven't been lucky. Then surgery in August. If I do get pregnant then I'll probably do one on the end of maternity leave, then the other in the summer hols. Thats the plan anyways but sure we'll see how it goes!

I'm enjoying following you all. Nuttykat I hope you are ok

That sounds painful - hope it all works out for you.

I have a followup scan in the hospital on Friday, will be 9 weeks that day. Hopefully there is still a heartbeat in there. Off on hols then Friday evening for a week with my family, the hubby has to work.

Then just 2.5 weeks after this scan I have my 12 week. Can't wait to get there, will be a hassle hurdle to pass hopefully. On progesterone until 14 weeks and then will be drug free all going well!

Today's a bit of a milestone, lost my baby at the end of March at this stage. Have a scan tomorrow so hopefully there'll be a heartbeat. I'm also on progesterone (twice daily) Lashes, hopefully it does the trick!

Yep I am twice a day too, not the worst though.

Good luck tomorrow, let us know how you go.

I had another scan today (8+1) and got to see the heartbeat. Also got my maternity hospital appointments but the scan is on the day we get back from holidays so have to reschedule. It's all starting to feel bit real!

Nuttykat I am so sorry for your loss! I had a miscarriage in February, just make sure you have someone to talk to, take care of yourself.

Mirrorwall fingers crossed for a positive soon, hope your doing ok :-).
Lashes and shortstuff good luck with your scans let us know how you get on.

I had my scan in the EPU on Monday all was well got to see the heart beat and everything was great. Though I thought I was 10 weeks but I am apparently 9 weeks - though it's hard to know as I didn't have a period in between miscarriage and getting pregnant again. Was such a relief to see the little tiny baby. My only small thing now is when the midwife booked me for my epu scan I thought I would be 10 weeks and then she gave me my booking appointment scan for two weeks later where I thought I would be 12 weeks but now I will only be 11 weeks. Should I ring them and change it or do you think it would be ok?

spottybananas

I was 11 weeks for my booking appointment last week and it was fine.

shortstuff!

We have a heartbeat! Measuring exactly on date so all good so far, due New Years Eve:)

Grr, rang the hospital to reschedule my scan and their office hours are 10-11 and 2-3 which they didn't even put of the bloody letter!

Hi. I'm 6weeks pregnant and rang rotunda hospital yesterday for my first visit appointment. Got the letter today and it says appointment is on July 3. I'd be around 13-14 weeks then. Is that how it really is? It's my first time there and I kinda thought first check is earlier than that. I hope to get enlightened. Thanks very much.

crestedten

We got to hear our heartbeat today to. Was amazing

Current measurements puts baby at 7w3 due right on Christmas day :pac:

On my first pregnancy two years ago my first appointment was at 15 weeks, I got it brought back to 13 as I was going on holiday. It wasn't in the rotunda but its pretty standard in some hospitals. This time round it was at 11 weeks.

I was 15/16weeks I think I with my 1st, went for a private scan at 12weeks.

Hi everyone,been lurking here for a couple of weeks but didn't want to post till I had been to the doctor! 6+5 with my third. So excited!

Luckily not much sickness yet but I'm expecting it any day as I was unbelievably sick with my other two (had to carry a plastic bag with me everywhere I went in case of sudden vomiting!) My ankles are the size of balloons though which I didn't expect this early on! The joys,eh?

Best of luck to everyone here, it's a long road ahead of us!

Shortstuff, I'm the same as you - due New Years Eve! :-)

So I'm probabily panacking but I've very light bleeding at the minute maybe spotting? Should I be worried? If it gets worse do I go to the doctor or the hospital? We haven't had a meeting with the hospital yet just met our doctor before. I'm definitely starting to freak out

You could call your gp and ask their advice, or call the maternity department of the hospital you will be going to.

Hi ladies. Can i jump on?

Im 9 weeks today. I was holding off posting for a bit, as a few people know me on boards.

Im due around 15th December. Had a scan already as we are going private and have another next week.

All going well so far. Not really any pregnancy symptoms, but i was very sick 2 weeks ago with a chest infection and dose which has floored me to be honest. Still not feeling 100% but getting there.

Congrats Andreac! Where are you attending privately? I'm going private too this time but they won't see me til 12 weeks so seeing a specialist for the 1st trimester as I've miscarried twice this year. Seems a huge variance between hospitals! Hope you feel better, hard to recover from illness when your body is so focused on growing a baby!

Hi.
I'm going with a consultant months coombe. Dr Michael connor. He does an early scan at 8 weeks as part of his package then another at 10 weeks. Doing like a combined care with him and few appts with my own doc.

Yeah I was feeling so well up until I got that dose and I'm jist not feeling right since it but maybe now it's the pregnancy coming through a little with symptoms. Hard to know.
Very tired this week I have to say. Taking that spatone supplement to see would that help at all.

Hi Short,

I didn't go to them in the end. I couldn't get through on the phone so rang my partner instead who told me to stop panicking because it can be normal. I left work early Friday and have been on bed rest since. It's incredibly light, minuscule almost but if it's still there tomorrow i'll try the GP again. I think I over-exerted myself with work and took on too much.

I had an awful dream last night and woke up at 5am thinking the worst. We are 9 weeks today and no appointment for a scan yet (some people have said Mullingar can be late scanning you and may only scan you twice). I think we may go for a private scan at 11 weeks for our own piece of mind. I have no idea what consultant we are even under.

Hope everyone else is feeling well and welcome to our newest members

Scanme.ie are great for private scans and are in Mullingar. Light spotting can often just be irritated cervix or existing cervical erosion etc, I had it at 10 weeks with my son and a gush of bright red at 20 weeks and there was no problem or reason found.

Thanks so much spottybananas! It's our first baby so I have no idea what I should/shouldn't be doing or what to expect so I'm trying to figure it out as I go along!

(Poking my nose in from the November 2017 thread!)

You can also experience spotting after sex, as there is a lot of extra bloodflow down there.

Yes it can be totally fine, 2close friends had it quite a lot, worrying obviously but no harm to their babies. Would also recommend scanme.ie, they are lovely there!

andreac

Had my 2nd scan yesterday. There was some difference in 2 weeks. It actually looks like a little person now. Back on the 7th June for my full appt with the nurse for the bloods etc. I will be nearly 13 weeks then.
