Hi, I'm Mary and my estimated due date is 5th October. Annoyingly three days before my Husband is going to be Best Man for the first time at a friends wedding three hours away, so there is a good chance I won't be able to make it to join him at the wedding!
This is my first pregnancy and I feel like I can't really get excited yet until I've been to the doctors for my first appointment. Is this just me?

Hello and Welcome

I will get you added in.

Please let me know of your first scan date or early scan date and Ill get this filled in for you

xxxx

Thank you! Nice to see so many other October-Mothers-to-be!
Should I have details of a scan yet? I rang the doctors last week to let them know I had gotten a positive test and they told me to ring again when I reached 8 weeks pregnant. I'm rather worried though as I literally know nothing about pregnancy, having no friends with babies around. I read somewhere that I should be taking pills during weeks 1-12. I'm into week 5 now but haven't taken anything yet. If I don't get an appointment until 8-9 weeks, most of that time will have already passed before I've gotten any information about my first trimester! :S
Am I worrying for no reason? Is there anything I need to know before 8-9 weeks? I've obviously stopped drinking.

Each board is diff, I live in Scotland and registered with the MW contact centre so they gave me booking and scan date over the phone. I didnt go to my GP atall as they didnt do much for me last time.

Some girls myself included have arranged an early scan, this again varies on area for price.

I said to myself I wouldn't do this to myself this time! Last pregancy I worried sick. All was fine. Now I'm reading into it all and because I've not got the 3+ yet I'm freaking.


I did my first test last Monday night and got 1-2 weeks.

I re did it half an hour lasted and got 2-3

It's now been at 2-3 since then. Wonder why first reading was 1-2 then half hour later 2-3? So that's why I thought since it's a week later I should get 3+.x

I'm thread crashing because I feel so passionately about this... STEP AWAY FROM THE TESTS!!! Especially the digital ones, except for confirming pregnancy they are not helpful. You aren't meant to use them like this. A friend of mine got 2-3 and then TWO days later got 1-2. She lost her shit, thought she was miscarrying. She now has a healthy baby girl from that pregnancy. These digitals are not helpful for you anymore- what will help you most is minimizing stress. So step away from the tests! You're pregnant, congratulations.

Is 6 weeks too early for a booking in appointment? I'm booked in for next wednesday with the midwife.

Also, does anyone else have very few symptoms? I had waves of nausea and cramps on the weekend, but nothing since.

 

[russellmuscle]

But the test only picks up how much HCG you have in your system at that time. Each urine sample can be diff depending on when you last peed, how much water you drank.

I read on forums some girls didnt get their 3+ until 6w preggers.

Everyone is diff and everyones pregnancy progresses at diff levels.

Stop stressing yourself out. Hope you get the 3+ soon.

[russellmuscle]

Ill be 10 weeks.

I dont think its too early? My booking appointment is almost a month before my scan!

Itll just be to meet and chat perhaps bloods BP etc.

Hi D3bbie, I seemed to have several symptoms when I first found out that I was pregnant, but now that it isn't at the front of my mind constantly, I jab my boobs from time to time to check the discomfort is still there and that I didn't imagine it!

 

[D3bbie]

Thanks both. I think I'm just uber nervous. It's my first and it's all a bit bewildering.

 

[AngelLily]

I'll be 6 weeks at my booking appointment

 

[PeanutButter]

Hi girls, doctor said everything seemed fine with baby, saw the same one as I did with mc so he understands why I'm panicked.
Gave me some antibiotics because he thinks it have a UTI...but I'm worried about taking them :s I know that there are certain types for pregnancy but still feel meh xx
Forgot to ask about my dizziness though was too concerned with the blood! Ugh need to make another appointment now lol x

Thanks. I know you are right. It's just such a worrying time. I hate the not knowing. Thanks for your message. I wish I could say it will stop me checking but I don't have the willpower! ��xx

My hubby was going to the shop so I asked him to go to Asda. He wasn't happy about my testing obsession but got me pack of two. I was trying to hold off until the morning but I couldn't!!! Anyway I got my 3+!!!! I'm delighted and especially with it being so late at night and I've been peeing constantly.

 

[PeanutButter]

I'm waiting until Saturday to get my 3+ ... I've never got one last time, so hopefully this time I will! Xx

 

[AngelLily]

I don't think I'm going to test any more. They are so expensive and I'm happy with my pregnancy at the moment I have some IC's I might use up.

I'm glad all was okay peanutbutter! Dizziness is common in early pregnancy though

Thanks for listening to me going on about it! I'm classes as 6 weeks on Thur. But I don't have a 28 day cycle, usually 33/34 days so Using the nhs calculator it says I'm almost 5 weeks.

Fx for you for Saturday! Post a pic.

I need to now call the midwife tomorrow'! I never did it today as I was so worked up. So that's tomoroew's job!xx

You are so right. I'm frightened to add up what I've spent in this last week! I also bought the wrong ones today which was the DIGI ones but didn't tell you the number of weeks! So that was £11 and then I bought a single one at £9 and then I've got my hubby to buy that others tonight. Omg. And that's only one day! I'm terrible when I get something into my head. Plus I've kept it to myself how I was feeling except for saying on here. But I told my hubby tonight. He tried to be reassuring.

 

[russellmuscle]

I bought 1 pack of 2, total of 20 pounds spent on this cycle all in as I didnt OPK.

Not a massive amount. Ive spent more on food.

Its cheaper for the 2 pack, so it be silly for me to get a 1pack.

Im not super stressed either. Ive had no blood and not extreme pains, continuing chilled and will use up my last test in a few days but wont chase the 3
