    Hi All,


    Due early July, GP visit next Wednesday.

    Has anyone attended GP?
    Thinking of private scan at 8 weeks and another just before Christmas.

    Enjoy the journey all.

    I’m going public in the Coombe. I did domino scheme there last time and found it great. Unfortunately they won’t let me do it this time, but am sure it’ll be fine.

    From talking to friends, I think the pro’s of private is shorter wait times, more consistency in that you see the same consultant all the time, and also more scans.

    Journey where are you hoping to go? To be honest dont know much about private however I think if you are outside of Dublin- it is more expensive... a few thousands and you basically get the same care.

    Any questions about the public or domino in the coombe, fire away. Don’t know much about the private though

    Had a HTP last Saturday calculating from last period date our 1st babsheen will be due in July 2019, still so shocked! I haven't told anyone yet because I want to come to terms with it myself first before I can hold a conversation on it, struggling to even say the word "pregnant". Hubby has been under abit of stress lately so hoping it will all calm down before I tell him on Friday, so happy I found this forum and realise I'm not alone! 😊❤

    Do another test
    Sign up for mother and infant scheme
    Get letter for hospital

    Some GPs do blood tests but not all (mine doesn’t) it’s usually a quick enough visit.

    I found I had a lot more questions at my booking appt that my gp visit. Good Luck

    Hi Everyone and congratulations!
    Still don't quite believe my positive test this week, was a faint positive so testing again but look like I'll be due with baby no2 11th July 2019.

    I have a 16 month old so things are going to be busy next year! Had my first public in the Coombe but going to go for the Rotunda this time. Also plan to do an early scan around 8 weeks. Anyone have symptoms yet? I had implantation bleeding which I didn't have on my first, other than that just the odd twinge in the uterus area!

    Hey chocolatepan and welcome

    My main symptom has been a bleed for the last week. Along with some nausea and tiredness I’ve a 14 month old here too so plenty to keep me busy

    Haven't really had too many symptoms this week, just very tired and quite heartburny. Last week I had been feeling quite nauseous too, but seems to have eased this week. I went to the GP yesterday, we're also booked in for an 8 week scan with the fertility clinic. I think we're going to go for shared care in Holla Street.

    My partner had her first doctors appointment yesterday. Due 3rd of July. It's our first and has taken the guts of 2 years to get here. Elated is an understatement. Both her mother and sister suffered from bad morning sickness in their pregnancies so she is preparing for the same although has been well to this point.

    Can I ask here what is the difference between going public or private. The option for private is available but unsure which option to go for.

    Hey everyone, I've just had my test and due late July. I still cannot believe... Don't really feel pregnant yet.
    But I have had an emotional breakdown just now, so I guess I am :(- apparently I didn't transfer to the new health insurance provider last January (company plan). The company went from Laya to VHI and I forgot to register with them by then. Don't know what to do now. I'm not covered at all, feel useless and stupid :(

    Hi, I have both my booking appt and scan on the week of the 10th Dec. Unfortunately they’re not on the same day but what can you do. It’s defo earlier with the coombe this time round but am thinking that’s coz it’s not as busy a time of year maybe.

    Am also going for a private scan in the next 2 weeks too (for peace of mind)

    Aw congratulations! Try not to worry. Went public the last time myself and will be doing the same again. Had fantastic care all throughout the pregnancy and was very lucky to be seen in the midwives clinic most of the time. They were so lovely. If there are any complications you'll be seen by the consultant or their team anyway. My own gp reckoned there wasn't any point in going private as you receive the same level of care anyway! With extra scans you can get them privately if you want. Well worth it. Now if only we could fast forward a few weeks and not feel hungover every day :(

    Thank you for support, it means a lot now. Yes, will be going public, a colleague was also happy with public care, so be it!
    What hospital were you with, if you don't mind me asking?
    I went to GP today to get a referral letter, so everything is official now :)
