June 2014 (earliest of early days yet!)

I decided to take a peek into the antenatal club threads, but there's no June thread yet, although for good reason.

I may be jinxing myself here, but after a couple very very faint positives on ICs for the last couple days I got a positive on an FRER this morning, so thought it would be safe to start one up.

Of course, still early days, but if it sticks my due date will be 3-5 June, depending on several websites.... What can I say, I tested early!

I hope someone comes to join me soon. There have to be some more recent BFPs....

I haven't even thought about phoning a midwife yet! Best do that I guess. Going to go straight to the midwife rather than via the doctor as it was a wasted appt last time - he just said "I'll book you in with the midwife".

You can do that, clever? Midwives here wouldn't book me in for an appointment unless I had a referral from the GP! Damn annoying, really. Angry

Oh never thought of that.

TinyTear · 04/10/2013 06:41

Hello Moon, last time I needed maternity trousers from 14 weeks. This time I'm already so bloated not sure how long I'll last.

lucyfluff · 04/10/2013 07:07

I've been bleeding :( we dtd and it started. Ive never had it this early so not sure I should wait and see or ring GP. No cramps or pain though...

GillyBillyWilly · 04/10/2013 07:07

Morning all and welcome to all the new ladies... Congratulations Smile

So I've had a exciting week of finding out I'm pregnant, visiting my doctor, a meeting with occupational health about my shift work and coming off nights.... ...So now what?!

Nothing happening now til 23rd oct which is my first midwife appointment! Grin

What happens at the first midwife appt anyway? This is my first so I have no idea!

GillyBillyWilly · 04/10/2013 07:09

Oh Lucy... Brew
How much bleeding was there? A lot? Was it bright red or maybe more brownish? How do you feel?
Call the doctor. I'm sure everything is fine but you should call anyway and get checked over.

lucyfluff · 04/10/2013 07:12

Sorry to post like that. I realised it was very insensitive esp those first timers. I'm feeling ok thanks gilly just a bit teary as it's bright red :(

Think I will call GP after school run x

cheesysmile · 04/10/2013 07:16

Lucy don't apologise, I hope ur ok. Call the midwife and get yourself a scan booked. When I bleed at 5 wks before they told me to wait a wk coz they couldn't scan before 6 wks, but might be different in different areas. You bleed last time and it was ok didn't you so FX this is just what ur body does and all is ok. ((hugs))

cheesysmile · 04/10/2013 07:19

Welcome to all the newbies!

Bludger glad things looking better for you, good luck for ur scan.

Snowlet I found a place that does an early external scan for £59, think like Daisy said its £100 in a hospital but doesn't seem my local hospital does it.

Snowlet · 04/10/2013 07:28

Thanks Cheesy and Daisy, so it's basically just investigating what's in your area, not sure we're going to go that route, it's basically just impatience!

Lucy keep us updated, hopefully it's nothing, makes me want to lay off DTD for a couple weeks though, I was already worried about it

LondonSuperTrooper · 04/10/2013 07:28

Welcome to the newbies.

Lucy I hope that everything is OK. I bled when I was pregnant with my DS quite early on until around 28 weeks. And he's a healthy 6 year old.

Biscuits, I'm having my 2nd set of HCG blood test today as well! Not till the afternoon though.

LondonSuperTrooper · 04/10/2013 07:30

Lucy, forgot to say that you should be given a scan.....but not till you are 6 weeks or so. I'd there aid wife that you can ring? GP are utterly useless. Let us know how you get on x

LondonSuperTrooper · 04/10/2013 07:31

Meant to say midwife not aid wife!!!!

Daisychain44 · 04/10/2013 07:32

What?? I just did my digital test ( hoping to see 2-3 weeks) and it says NOT PREGNANT. WTF?
Had a horrible dream about bleeding last night and it all being over but no actual blood in sight this morning....
I don't know what to do....

IBelieveInEngels · 04/10/2013 07:34

Fx lucy.

moon I can't remember so will have to look back through photos/mn! I lost weight in the first trimester though as I was really nauseous between 6 and 12 weeks. Not vomiting but the smell of herbs and spices made me feel sick so everthing we ate was very boring for 6 weeks!.

GillyBillyWilly · 04/10/2013 07:35

Oh no daisy!!!! BrewThanks
Ummm I'm not sure what you should do either.. Did you do a digital before and get a positive??????

IBelieveInEngels · 04/10/2013 07:38

X-post with a million people.

Daisy do you have another test? It's either that or wait ( I'm waiting to take another test tomorrow as my lines this week were very faint). we're here to hold your hand.

MrsMLB · 04/10/2013 07:39

Thanks for the welcomes, appreciated!
Daisy, perhaps do another, could be a dodgey test...fx for you x

NorahVanstone · 04/10/2013 07:45

Morning everyone,

Lucy, don't apologise! How are you now? I hope the GP can give you some reassurance....no cramping is good & you felt v nauseous yesterday afternoon, so good symptoms there. fx for you.

Welcome to the new ladies nessie, hidden, London IBelieve and MrsMBL ... I think we've got 2 london's now!

daisy What did you decide to do about the lunch? I probably wouldn't go as it would get me worked up and i've learnt I have to cut down on anything my head can play on or else I'll end up going bonkers,

bludger, glad bleeding has stopped

For those who don't know about booking in; some parts of the country operate a self referral system to midwives, some you need a gp to refer you instead. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to which areas do which, the system seems to be you make a gp appointment only to be told there was no need, or you try and made a midwife appointment only to be told you can't, your gp has to do it Confused

MrsMBL hello my fellow 6th Juner Wink I was getting very envious of the 9th June crowd before you came along Smile

PJen I'm on Heparin as the Post Mortem of my late loss found the baby died of ischeamia, so they suspect a blood clotting issue, but can't find it. My tests come back OK, they think it is a blood clotting factor that hasn't been identified yet....so the Heparin is there in case...

Just thinking out loud here, don't want to offend anyone at all, but wondering if we should maybe have a second june bus for those of us with RMC issues to obsess about everything discuss some things in more detail that might not be very appropriate on here. Not to leave this thread, but to have somewhere to talk about some of those specific things? The reason I ask is that on a previous bus before I MC one of the first timers did say that it made it difficult for her to want to post as she felt there was so much scary stuff, and following on from what Lucy said about apologising for freaking out first timers, I wonder if that might be an idea? Again, really don't mean to cause any upset to anyone by suggesting it.

TinyTear · 04/10/2013 08:18

I would join a RMC June bus, yes...

Welcome to the newbies

Sorry for the ones bleeding, hope it's nothing and you get an early scan with good news...

Gilly, at the first midwive appointment they will fill out a massive form with your history and take bloods and go through the plan of action.

TinyTear · 04/10/2013 08:21

BTW, not sure if it's allowed to mention it, but I am in a secret FB group for June people (stemming from the babycentre website) that I cad add people to... Anyone who wants adding pm me your email address and I can try and add you... it's less anonymous, of course...

I want to join in more here, but sometimes it gets a wee bit confusing and in FB you can have different conversation threads (so the RMC ones could talk without the others reading and getting scared)

wispaxmas · 04/10/2013 08:24

Daisy, what kind of test did you get your bfp on? Try another of that brand and see if you still get a line.. I've got everything crossed for you in the meantime!

Lucy, I hope it's nothing!

And nothing for me this morning, still obsessively doing hpts. I've almost run out of ICs now, but I've still got some CBD tests to use. I don't know why I'm so anxious. I know a lot of you have reason to be based on experience, but I don't, so why am I freaking out so much??

CarrotCakeMuffins · 04/10/2013 08:37

Yes to a RMC June bus from me too. There is so much I don't want to say on here, as I don't want to worry or upset people.
Although, apparently I have just been unlucky so far (tests have not shown up any problems).
Time will tell this time...
Best wishes to all.

GillyBillyWilly · 04/10/2013 09:06

Haha wispa I'm the same.... Very excited and happy but also anxious and worried with no real reason to be.
I think hearing about other people's previous problems/miscarriages etc DOES probably worry me and make me more anxious to be honest!

I'm also testing every other day or so still!Grin

Going to pop round to my neighbours house in a bit for lunch and she is a midwife so might ask her lots of questions!
Then going shopping as I need to buy a wedding gift for my friends wedding next week!
