hello ladies!
after being a lurker for a while, i have now joined after getting my bfp on monday
i have been told by the doc that i am 8 and a half weeks. this is my first, and i'm 23.
i have a few questions and thoughts to compare really if you don't mind
before i got a positive, i noticed that when i sneezed it felt different to normal- more secure/gentle?! i now think that my body was automatically trying to be gentle and not force my guts out of me hehe. has anyone else felt this way?
my first midwife booking apt will be in 3 weeks, and i am wondering how soon after that will i have my first scan? is it usually any sooner or later than 12 weeks?
i should have really asked more at my doctor appointment but was a bit shocked and just tended to nod and agree with everything she said i also wanted to check whether normal paracetemol was ok to take incase i get a headache.
(i had better get my persuasive head in gear for labour eh?)
i have a few inch long dark veins near my belly button. i didn't expect anything other than boob veins so soon but on inspection my whole tummy looks a bit 'road map' like! is this just all the extra blood flowing or could it be something bad?
since getting my bfp i have not been sick! and my boobs hurt less. is this sod's law or what!
lastly my roots look sooooooo crappy and i usually bleach my roots all over and yes, it covers my scalp.
it is not possible for me to do it without getting it on my scalp and i wondered whether it is safe to do so. i cannot go darker. i am happy to hold out for another month or so if it will be safer in the second trimester.
sorry for my long random ramblings!
i would be interested in any input or thoughts you may have.
thanks for reading everyone
