    I'm going to Drogheda hospital, anyone any experience here, I've read some hospitals don't give you a scan until week 17-20.
    Anyone know what Drogheda does.
    Is many people planning on an early private scan?
    If I don't get word by week 10 think I might go private to put mind at ease.

    I think I will be having this baby in Drogheda but I had my last baby in Galway so I don't know about their scans.

    Last time I had a private scan in Mullingar in scanme.ie I would highly recommend her she is so lovely.

    Hi girls (and boys) congrats to all. I am tentatively saying hello. I had an early miscarriage in Dec. I am about 5+5 today. Is anyone else having no symptoms?

    I'm kinda worried today as I feel totally normal. I have a doctor's appointment Friday. I am hoping I am worried over nothing .

    This will be my second baby. I have a 2 1/2 year old.

    Hi Cowlove! Congrats and welcome!! I’ve had little to no symptoms up until the last week or so I’m 7+4, really only starting to get the nausea now. The only things I had from the start was some cramps and slightly sore boobs but kinda just felt like period symptoms!
    Hopefully you are worrying over nothing alright!

    Thanks Suzie! That is reassuring! It's just a waiting game ðŸ˜

    Hi,
    Wife’s Pregnancy test came up positive today,she’s telling me she’s technically 4 weeks gone,a fact I’m struggling to grasp as conception was likely around 11days ago!...can anyone explain that one to me in layman’s terms!
    I’m not new to this,we have a four year old!;~|

    Pregnancy is dated from the first day of your last period (or your wife's 😉)

    Thanks cowlove !....I’m still failing to get my head around how a 40week gestation period can be “backdated” depending on a menstural cycle start date!.....anyways I think I’ll put it to the back of my mind and hope all goes well in Nov ‘18!

    Yeah I can't really get my head around it either, but I think the thinking behind it is, you 'could' get pregnant any time from that date.

    It's just their way of counting....really a baby is full term at 38 weeks.But because they count from start of period, that basically adds an extra two weeks or so on,(although one week of that is usually a woman's period and the second is building to ovulation) so we talk about 40 weeks of pregnancy.It's a very broad brushstroke way of counting.

    Fundamentally from a female point of view it means you're "pregnant" for ten months no matter what anyone says!!!

    Well I am out, sad to say I am miscarrying today at 5 weeks 2 days :( Symptoms disappeared over the weekend, tested yesterday 'Not pregnant' and started bleeding this evening. Been in this boat before so have an idea what to expect. DH is away tonight and DS is sick so I am feeling embattled to say the least.

    Best of luck to you all for the coming months xx

    I had one about 12-13weeks there, followed by one about 20 weeks or so. It's a good hospital, just don't park on site, it's expensive :\

    I suppose I’ll join too! Number #3 for me all going well. Still in shock really, my other two took a year trying each time and this little one took no thought at all. Hoping for a nice and smooth 9 months.
    I’m only early but have no appetite and my mouth is constantly filling with a bitter taste. I’m due around 22nd November but given my other two were two weeks late I should probably migrate to the December thread haha!

    Betsie! We meet again! Hope your June 2016 baba is doing well :)

    I went to the doctor yesterday and he is referring me to the midwife led unit in Drogheda but he said they might move me out as I am 37. Nice to know I am low risk even after miscarriage

    Ye have the ball rolling on appointments girls, it’s exciting when dates start rolling in!

    I’m a bit laid back this time, I’m not sure if I have to go to the GP but I’ll book in an early scan for a week or two. I can self refer to Holles Street online which is handy.

    I survived dinner out wearing actual jeans and not legggings. The bloat is unreal!! Hope everyone is feeling good :)

    My bloating has eased a bit thankfully so my jeans are feeling a bit more comfy apart from one new pair I bought a few weeks ago, there is no give in the waistband so they dig in a bit so I did the old bobble trick and they were fine!!

    Just back from a lovely meal out with our friends and as soon as I finished eating the nausea hit me. That’s a new one for me now at night after I eat, for the last couple of weeks it’s been mornings before I eat! Had to go home and go to bed!! Lucky the hubby is fine with that so at least I’m not the only one in bed at 11 on a Saturday night lol

    Hi everyone.
    Baby number 2 due 29th of November 😊
    Very very happy and relieved. It's taken us the guts of a year to conceive. This will be number 2 for us.
    Anyone know if there is a facebook group yet??
    I found them so helpful on my last pregnancy.
    Hope everyone is doing well so far!

    I’m lucky if I see 8pm these days, usually we get the kids to bed and then I’m in my pjs. Luckily my husband is more than happy to have the TV to himself, might be a result of being surrounded by girls all day!

    Sorry to hear your nausea is bad Betsie. I wouldn’t rate mine as bad yet, it’s just constant low lying bleeeeh.

    Hi Girls,

    Hope everyone is getting on ok so far and that the tiredness and nausea is bearable 😊

    What's the consensus on getting a facebook group going?? I found them so helpful last time!

    If people are up for it i could get one going.

    Hey Susie!! I love that idea, I was looking for the eumoms November birth group but it looks like they don’t have it set up yet!
