Hi all, just been catching up on all the threads for us March ladies 
some very heartbreaking stories and some encouraging ones too.
I am 23 years old and 7+1 weeks, due March 21st. This will be our first little one so DH and I are excited and nervous. We've decided to tell our parents after the 8 week appt with MW, but might change our minds. The thing is, it gets very daunting with all these tests for this and that, we need some advice!
Have you/will you get all the tests done in the early stages of preg? And what does a usual first appointment with a midwife go like? We are both from religious backgrounds which call for a lot of "wait and see what God gives you" but we really want the best for our baby, and times have changed... (sorry if that's a little too much for some).
I have a kidney problem called Minimal Change disease, which is a disease of the kidney that there isn't much research about. Fortunately I am in remission, I am taking 5mg of prednisolone every other day, and I wonder if that's what's stopping me vomit!! I've had awful nausea for about 2 weeks, it's currently subsided and now the boobs hurt instead. The condition can look like pre-eclampsia because of the protein leaking into urine, and swelling too, so the specialist gyn is going to look after me.
Aaaanyway, that's my penny's worth, glad to be on here, and any advice you can give (or anything I just read on here anyway) will be appreciated. Really loving being a part of something!
