Is there a thread for us yet? I'm due on the 1st! how is everyone?

Hi Michellie,

I'm a couple of days after you, March 3rd. First timer here. I've an early scan at the EPU next week, so I am feeling very anxious. I had alot of nausea last week and some discomfort, but feeling fine this week. I don't know which is worse, having the symptons or getting worried when they have passed!

Congratulations! This is my 2nd but feels like my first as it's been 9 years since I was pregnant! I've had no nausea (didn't on my first either) only symptom I have is sore boobs!!

I had my doctor visit last week. I'm wondering when I will get a letter from the hospital for my scan!

You too! I had my doctors visit last Friday and the letter was sent off so I'm also waiting. But seeing as I am quite anxious about anything going wrong, she has referred me for an early scan late next week. I'm in a heap since I found out. We are totally delighted, I'm just terrified of anything going wrong. I think I need to start thinking positively, as the doc said at this stage if anything were to go wrong there is nothing I could have done to prevent it. So fingers crossed

I had to tell my manager in work already though. We had to travel with work on Tuesday and I was feeling very nauseous, so I had to confess to her! She's letting me take the whole day off for my scan next week, so she is already being very supportive.

michellie · 03-07-2017 04:32PM

How is everyone today? I got a call from the secretary of the consultant I've been assigned to in the hospital so I'm delighted to know who's care I'm under. Told her we're going on holidays when I will be 13 weeks so she said she will book me in for the clinic when I'm 12 weeks

Have had loads of cramping today but my boobs aren't sore anymore!

hollymartins · 07-07-2017 12:42PM

I'll tentatively join this group, I had BFP earlier this week. I feel okay, some cramping and I felt light headed this morning but that may have been due to the dull and endless meeting I had to sit through.

I contacted Holles St semi private this morning and I mentioned my preferred consultant and she said they're booked up until the end of September so I'm not sure if I'll have to switch to someone else ðŸ™

Welcome!! Do you know your due date?

I've also felt light headed during the week, normally after work-before dinner.

I am just going public again, under the care of the same consultant from my first pregnancy 9 years ago! Just can't wait for my first scan.

Unfortunately I'm pretty sure I've lost it as I've been bleeding since yesterday and passed some tissue this morning. I experienced a mc two years ago so I know the signs. It wasn't meant to be but hopefully it'll be my time again in the near future. I hope all of your pregnancies go smoothly and you enjoy it

Congrats! Far from an expert on this myself but you have that right first day of your last period.

carleigh · 11-07-2017 02:49PM

Unfortunately I will be leaving this thread also as I've suffered a miscarriage. Wishing everyone a healthy and happy pregnancy

If you know the first day of your last period google "due date calculator" and you'll find it. You can book into the doctor now to get the ball rolling and decide what care you want.

We are currently @ week 7 and the suspense is killing me, find it hard to actually believe until I can physically see the baby. We are having a scan @ 8 weeks ourselves just for peace of mind. Personally I think 12 weeks before seeing your baby is very long. Best of luck to everyone on here due in March.

I got my scan date today it's the 18th of August, happy with that because I am going on holidays the next day!! Have a doctor check up next week so hopefully we will be able to hear the heartbeat.

How far will you be at gp appt? Mine don't check heartbeat with doppler before 16-18 weeks as it can be very difficult to find which can cause more worry, just be prepared for that! I don't think any gp looks for it before 14 weeks, ime anyway.

Blingy · 18-07-2017 10:03AM

I think I can join this forum now. Got a faint positive yesterday evening and another This morning. I'm 13 dpo today but had spotting the last 4 days so fingers crossed that has stopped today. I think due date would be 28th march approx. So exciting!!!

I'll be 10 weeks then. They did on my first daughter and we did hear it so hopefully we will !

Chel1989 · 18-07-2017 11:33PM

Hello Everyone

Did a positive test last week and have my doctors appointment tomorrow! Think I will be due March 17 (if I'm calculating correctly) this is my first baby so reading and learning lots now! Really excited to tell people but it's still a little early I guess.

Ron_Swanson · 19-07-2017 05:21PM

Hey gals, I am due in March too - 17th same as you Chel!

This is my 3rd pregnancy and my 2nd is still a baby so I am a teeny bit nervous but mostly really really happy! I have had a mild bit of nausea but eating small meals often is helping...

Hope you are all feeling great and excited

jadie · 20-07-2017 02:54PM

Hi all, also due around the 17th March I think. Took a test last weekend. Not been to doctor yet. TBH it's a complete shock as was using contraception and wasn't even planning on having a baby or at least not for the time being. I was actually going to book in for one of those ovarian reserve tests a few weeks ago, just to see if I could put it off another while, the irony! I know nothing about pregnancy so have been reading up on it all week, my head is spinning. No symptoms yet apart from a nose like a bloodhound!

Tiat Young · 22-07-2017 04:58PM

Joining you girls..... First baby. Got a very very faint first response test on the 14th. Went to doctors on Wednesday and due date 18th March. No nausea or anything other than bloating. Hope it stays that way! Few of us due 17th/18th. Loads of Paddy's babies

Sono · 23-07-2017 08:48AM

First scan on Tuesday, to say we are nervous would be putting it mildly!

Great excitement, Is it a private scan? Mine is on the 18th August. Feels so far away!

Yeah a private scan, we just can't wait till the 12 weeks it would drive both of us crazy!

missperoxide · 25-07-2017 11:57AM

Hi all, I'm 8 weeks on my first baby. Thrilled but very nervous at the same time. I've had a visit to my GP for confirmation and I've to go back to her at 12 weeks and the have a scan at 20 weeks.

This seems like a very long time for a scan...should I go private to get one before then??

Symptom wise - nausea, exhaustion, sore boobs, light headed at times, inability to concentrate at work!!

all advise appreciated!! Xx

12 week appointment is usually at hospital to do bloods, meet midwife, history, scan, etc, later appointments which include a scan are also usually at hospital, did she definitely say those appointments are with her? Did you get your little white booklet which lists when gp/hospital appts are?

missperoxide · 25-07-2017 01:26PM

Hi,

The 12 week apt is definitely with her. Then at 20 weeks, a scan at the hospital. She's taken bloods for me before and I've nominated her and a doctor at the hospital so no mid wife as such.

I got a letter from the hospital confirming my apt in October but there was no booklet to record apts. I thought his would follow but I should get on to them to send it I suppose.

I'm going public, does that make a difference? I'll happyily pay for a private scan as we are excited to see whats going on. Seems far too long to wait
