Thank everyone all appears to be ok! Still early days though Another scan in a couple of weeks and my edd is now 19th jan. Thanks for all your finger crossing.

CheapTarnishedGlitter · 24/05/2012 18:21

Apologies if this posts twice - godknows what my phone thinks it's doing...

LitteMiss everything crossed for you - here's hoping for good news.

Incaminka good to hear things have calmed down

boutique massively but that might be the heat :)

Had a couple of good loo trips this afternoon and got a weeny bit excited but got home from work to yet more spotting. Trying to think that if there's spotting it means there's something to spot at least... I think I have a weekend of frantic peeing on sticks and comparing strengths of lines coming up!!

DontmindifIdo · 24/05/2012 18:22

yay! I had my first appointment with the GP today, we had a rather odd conversation, she went through my medical history and was asking about a major car accident I was apparently in when I was 18, breaking my leg and damaging my spine. I have never been in a serious car accident, I have never broken my leg and my spine is fine. I told her this, she kept on that I might have 'forgotten it' - who forgets being in a serious car accident and breaking their leg and damaging their spine??? After a while she accepted it might be a computer error. Most odd. Didn't get chance to ask any of my questions.

Wuxiapian · 24/05/2012 18:59

Hi, all!

Had a positive home pregnancy test last tuesday and Dr confirmed pregnancy today!

I am 7 weeks.

Fantastic news, considering my OH was told he had little to zero sperm less than 2 years ago and we'd have to go straight to IVF!

My first midwife appt is in 3 weeks, but I have an EPU appt monday afternoon after expressing concerns to Dr about brown/pink spotting and terrible pains in lower pelvis (I also have fibroids).

Excited and nervous at the same time!!

My EDD is 08/01/13.

I am 34. I have one son, 13.

DontmindifIdo · 24/05/2012 20:28

hello Wuxoiapian, that's great news. hope Monday goes well.

Birdies · 24/05/2012 21:16

Hi everyone - just had my scan this evening, all is well thankfully, phew!! Measuring a bit bigger too but I won't change my EDD in the list as I know they can keep changing.

Ps I was worried as boobs not hurting at all but have felt sick - so just in case anyone is worried about their lack of symptoms - it's so varied you can have everything or nothing at all (I do have a bit of a sticky-out tummy though but may just be fat haha!)

Oh one other thing - is anyone still eating things like cakes and chocolate? I feel bad whenever I do but I can't seem to stop myself Confused

Birdies · 24/05/2012 21:17

Ps and hi and big congrats to all the newcomers too!!

ChutesTooNarrow · 24/05/2012 21:38

Gawd Birdies, why would you not eat cakes and chocolate? Don't feel bad about it, eat what you fancy. I would be eating them were not for the fact that I can not abide anything aside from lightly salted doritos atm. Everything else churns my stomach, and probably will for a few more weeks.

Aside from the food issue I have a stunning lack of pregnancy symptoms. Just a bump (how? I didn't show until 20 odd weeks last time) which is a bit of a bugger when I am trying to hide it until after my 12 week scan Hmm

cogitosum · 24/05/2012 21:41

I'm having scan sat.

I had a really odd fluttering sensation in my tummy today - not gas I've never had anything like it before anyone have any ideas? I know it's too early to be movement but odd. Congrats wuxia - hope its all ok. I had pain too but seems to have got a bit better.
That's great birdie and I wouldn't worry about cakes and I normally eat quite healthily and much prefer savoury but the last week all I've wanted is sweet stuff so hope it doesn't cause too many problems!

cogitosum · 24/05/2012 21:48

Sorry just reread and last post makes no sense. I'm too tired ignore me!

octanegirl · 24/05/2012 22:34

I've only got the sore boobs thing. And tired but maybe because I wake up at 6.30 most days and am either in a car or on a horse! I'm trying to eat healthily (I tend to binge eat and then crash diet - bad I know) but ate a whole tub of Ben & Jerrys Cookie Dough today. Damn you, Ben and Jerry, and your horrendously addictive ice creams.....

CountryKitty · 25/05/2012 11:26

Hi all, can I join too?!

I'm 31, 2DD already and edd is 26 January.

Just had doctors appt this morning. She was lovely. we've had two mc since feb at 7wks & 5wks so she is trying to get me an early scan at 8 wks. She is calling me back today. If can't get NHS one, then will book private - I find they're much nicer anyway!

Only symptoms so far is small bump already, really sore boobs and waking at the crack of dawn every morning. no sickness but never had that with our 2DD either.

Hope all doing well today! x

Incaminka · 25/05/2012 13:05

More spotting today, but all dark, and nothing heavy, just really hoping tomorrow will go well, and they will see a heartbeat/closed cervix....

Cejay8 · 25/05/2012 14:02

Hi everyone! I'm due January 16th, we already have DS who's 23 months. Feeling a bit travel sick if I haven't eaten but not too bad so far. I've booked an app with MW but not organised a scan yet. It feels like ages till I can tell everyone!

littlepinkfizz · 25/05/2012 15:02

Good luck for tomorrow Incaminka, I'm sure it will be good news for you x

BuntyCollocks · 25/05/2012 15:34

Welcome to all the newbies :)

good luck tomorrow incaminka, and congrats on your scan littlemiss

Was worried as I had 2 days sans sickness.

Have just plastered the toilet at work ... worry abated for now. Looking forward to a hopefully early finish, and some time in the sun before bed with my gorgeous toddler. :)

CountryKitty · 25/05/2012 17:24

Hi,

That's fab you got good news at your scan littlemiss and I hope you get reassurance at your scan tomorrow incaminka.

Well I didn't get my NHS scan. Apparently I have to have 3 consecutive mc before they will book me for an early scan without bleeding or pain! Going to book a private scan for 8 wks if still pg then.

Bunty - hope you got your time in the sun! Have been sunning myself all afternoon - bliss!

PricklyPickle · 25/05/2012 18:08

Hello to all the newbies, its exciting isn't it!

Its going to be fun here when we're all hormonal and grumpy at the same time! Can't wait.

Bunty I've stopped feeling sick too, I can't work out whether this makes me relieved or nervous Confused

Country its a shame you couldn't get an early scan, but on the bright side it means they don't think you're a high risk so that's good.

Incaminka good luck for tomorrow, hope it puts your mind at rest.

I've just had my letter for my booking in appointment, its on Tuesday - yay!

ibuyreadymademash · 25/05/2012 20:47

AngelFairy so sorry to hear about loss. Thinking of you.X

Hello to all new folk, hope you keeping well and relieved to hear others funny food goings on and expanding waistlines- already!! This is number 3 for me, and my tummy muscles are shot altogether.

Woke up this morning bleeding (I am 7 wks 2 days) and had to wait few hours to be scanned. Thanks be to God there was a heartbeat - I think I have cervical erosion. No more bleeding since thank God.
