Im back

Well, my MW is lovely! She is the girl I will see all the way through (but not at the birth). She even gave me a mobile number to call her if i have any questions... Is this normal or perhaps I am v special?!!

Didnt want to scare any of you about the ectopic The MW didnt agree with my doctor from last week and said that there is no need to scan before I fly... sorry if I have worried any of you

She took lots of blood and I need to take a urine sample in tomorrow. I have lots to read too!

I am getting a dating scan asap (got to ring hosp next week to find out when it is) because they think i could be anywhere between 5 weeks and 9 weeks. I KNOW I am nowhere near 9 weeks because of FF but she didnt seem to think that my charting indicated anything If my scan shows that I am about 5 weeks then they will give me another one at about 12 weeks to make sure everything is OK.

I still cant believe this is happening to me I really do feel like the luckiest woman in the world!!!

Rach - good to see that you are settling in to your new home

maybebaby

Babydust - try not to worry too much (easier said than done!)

Glad you have a lovely MW - I wouldnt know whats normal as i dont have one!

My Dr told me off for charting when I went in about ttc.....I ignored her as I still think its a great way to get to know whats going on with your body etc (it was the same Dr who said EVERYONE ovulates exactly 2 weeks before their period the muppet ) some medical professionals see charting as great and others think its a right waste of time....I think the ones who think its a waste of time are the ones who don't properly understand it or who havent any experience of it and I stand by its usefulness.

 

[sally12]

I agree Chok!

If I were 9 weeks pg I think i would have a few more symptoms than tummy twinges and overgrown boobies!

Doctors hey!

Hi to you all,
I'm Sam, just pregnant with 3rd, i have 2 daughters, one 16 yrs the other 4yrs. I'm due on 1st jan
Its soooo nice to have this site to be able to chat with others in the same situation, especially with not telling people yet, although i did tell my eldest daughter yesterday as i wanted to look at prams in mothercare, dh is adamant we don't need a new pram, so i dragged dd instead
Congratulations to you all

OMG I'd be fuming!
My DH has been sworn to secrecy - he is doing well, (so far as I know anyway) but I know he has found it hard not to tell his two girls. He is one of those ppl who always ends up saying something silly and putting his foot in it so I am half expecting him to blurt out something to someone at some point I hope he doesnt, at least not yet - men eh?

 

[sally12]

im going to find a piece of paper and come back xxxxx

I can tell that you are a well practiced stalker!

 

[satch]

Only told my mum so far (and you girls) and of course DH. I think we're going to keep it that way until I'm further along, although if I continue to feel so sick I might have to tell my boss because I'm not normally someone to be ill and have days off or have to leave work early. I do trust him, but I would be really annoyed if he told someone else. Any ideas of what to do?

So I phoned my midwife today to say hello and book an appointment, but she was sick.

I also phoned the hospital and booked my dating scan which is June 2nd. The lady on the phone was really nice and said "oooh a xmas baby".

OMG this is becoming more real.

Last night when I was sic, my lovely DH was all excited (although I was looking green yelling, find me a hair tie, I need to tie my hair back ) . He's excited because I'm getting symptoms - charming!

 

[babydust]

anna,lea, poochielove and sammy
sally glad the midwife went well, and no its not like the nhs service, you seem to have a good one

well im just back, i got called to my dd's nursery she wasnt feeling well and burning up, so i just brought them both home so no housework for me.

all going well with this pregnancy i am due on christmas day but i really hope its before it as my dh would be hopeless at setting all the santa things up for the girls

anyone else really missing drinking? i usually have a glass of wine when i put the girls down at night and i just dont know what to do with myself now if i didnt feel quilty about leaving dh i would go to bed with the girls.

 

[choklatemunky]

Ppl seem to be seeing MW etc really early...
My Drs arent even interested yet and Im a bit ahead of you guys (tho not much I know)

Satch so how far along will you be June 2nd then? (cant see you ticker when Im typing this)

Babydust - sorry your DD is unwell hope she gets better soon
I wasnt a big drinker anyway really I think its cos Im quite fussy and I dont like much stuff so Im not missing it at all, cant you try Schloer (or non-alcoholic stuff) as thats really nice chilled and that way you will still get the feeling of sitting there relaxing with something (altho I can appreciate its not quite the same)
