Evening ladies,

I've gotta wait till Friday afternoon for gp appointment its so damn long to wait for everything.

Mega bloated and windy today a little painful. Also has nausea for the first time today all fun times!

CinnamonSummer · 08/12/2014 21:00

Hi ladies, can I join you please? Got my bfp on Friday at 11dpo on a digi!

Stats: CinnamonSummer, 30, oh same age. I have a 12 year old from previous and had 3 mmcs (one ten years ago and 2 in the last 12 months). All tests show there are no issues and the recurrent miscarriage consultant said I need to get in touch with her as soon as I find out so they can scan me at 6 weeks then every 2-3 weeks until 12 weeks.

Congratulations to you all! I didn't realise antenatal groups existed on here so I'm excited to get to know you all Brew Biscuit

CinnamonSummer · 08/12/2014 21:01

Btw - been in bed since ten past eight, this tiredness is wiping me out!

whitwoochantelle · 08/12/2014 21:16

My new doctors do early referral so I'll be speaking with midwife tommrow. My old doctors on the other hand in a sleepy village were a very poor show.y mmc was down to God not thinking I was ready and when my referral was going through didn't know what opk were and not to trust them!I've not really got any symptoms other than my groin twitch n sickness ( low blood pressure so used to it) my tattys are not that sore yet though my partner has called me arnie fits as apparently they have gone veiny like his arms!

whitwoochantelle · 08/12/2014 21:21

Fits = tits!!! Sorry to hear about your sister's reaction Mrs B somethin more supportive would of been nicely received! My sister cried when I told her she's been on my roller coaster with me

Dozygirl · 08/12/2014 21:23

Welcome cinnamon i was 11dpo on friday when i got my bfp, snap! Whats your edd? Hope you've got a sticky one this time.

ruby242 · 08/12/2014 21:26

Welcome cinnamon, I got my BFP on Friday at 11dpo too so we are the same! I hope the scans reassure you after your past :)

Whitwoo sounds like a good thing you changed doctors!!

ruby242 · 08/12/2014 21:27

Cross post, dozy there are 3 of us the same date!!

daisysunshine2 · 08/12/2014 21:32

Welcome cinnamon hoping for a sticky bean for you!

Symtoms wise I am SO tired all the time... Until I get into bed, then I'm wide awake! Have started feeling very very sick today which weirdly made me happy haha but not actually been sick (sure the happy feeling will leave once I am!) bbs are starting to settle now too... Not quite so sore when I was doing my gym class :) I've been having a lot of whitey discharge too, the it's fairly normal? But has been sending me running to the loo thinking I'm bleeding too! I'm now 1 day past when I mc last time so just trying to take each day as it comes :)

CinnamonSummer · 08/12/2014 21:34

Thanks dozy and ruby - edd is 18th August. Nice to 'meet' people due on the same day! Think the 8 week is the one I'm waiting for as none of the mmcs got that far.

How are you feeling? Do you have many symptoms yet?

CinnamonSummer · 08/12/2014 21:35

Cross post - thanks daisy!

Dozygirl · 08/12/2014 22:25

Fx for u cinnamon. Xmas Smile

Shantotto · 08/12/2014 22:44

Welcome new people! I just brushed my teeth and threw up twice. Shock

I thought it was supposed to be morning sickness! A bit annoying as I hadn't really felt nauseous. Only a tiny bit each time, sorry for detail! Hope this isn't the start of it properly. It reminded me how much I find throwing up very upsetting and awful. Not that anybody is going to like it!

Dozygirl · 08/12/2014 23:20

I'm an Internet addict. I can spend hours looking at random things. Anyway just now I decided to google christmas pregnancy tshirts. I so so wish I was further along so I could have announced it to people on christmas day with a fun tshirt. But I won't even have a bump by then and it's too early days. Grrr

Brummiegirl15 · 09/12/2014 07:16

Woken up this morning in my hotel room as away for work and felt so sick. Luckily I thought I might so bought some M &S biccies (which I hoofed down half a pack last night) but just had to scoff 2 biscuits at 7.10am to stop me feeling sick

5+4 today!!! Christ the days are like torture!

AliOh · 09/12/2014 08:10

Hi cinnamon congratulations!

shantotto I mostly had evening sickness last time - it sucks! I was never actually sick though I'm not sure what's worse.

I've been so so tired. Luckily DS has been sleeping really well lately. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll get another good sleeper Grin

wavesandsmiles · 09/12/2014 10:37

Morning all, hope everyone is ok? I am seeing my GP at 2.50 and hoping that goes ok. I'm yet to be sick which is a GREAT thing as I spent most of my last pregnancy in hospital with full term hyperemesis Sad. If my dates are right, then my due date is going to be days within DS2's second birthday, but it doesn't feel like only 2 years since I was in this position.....

Waiting until I've had a scan until I tell anyone in RL, so for now this is the only place to share this secret. NO idea how I will tell exDH - it is super complex as we split up when I was expecting DS2 (all sorts of drama and heartache around that) but more recently we have been hanging out regularly and going on "dates" a couple of times a week. (which have obviously led to more than just civilized conversation Blush) If anyone who'd followed my threads during my pg with DS2 they'd be prepared to slap me as he was a complete and utter twunt to me but it's pretty hard as we have such a strong attraction. Anyway, he definitely doesn't want more DCs, so I've got my head in a space that I will do this entirely alone and at some stage I think I will have to tell him and see what his reaction is, but I am thinking that will be around the 14 week mark, if this indeed a sticky little bean.

Anyway, I am hugely excited, this wasn't planned, but I am smiling away inside and hoping that all is well.

clairexxx · 09/12/2014 11:01

Hi Waves, hope it goes well for you at the doctors later.

Thanks for all the advice yesterday about the scan. I had my booking appointment come through today for the midwife on 28th December. Had a lovely chat over the phone and I've got a 12 week scan booked for 28th January but they will do an earlier one if needed.

Saw my doctor this morning who really reassured me. The cramps have now gone, I'm nauseaus pretty much most of the day, very tired and very hungry. She told me all those are symptoms of early pregnancy and nothing to worry about. I've got to have a flu jab too and continue having vitamin b12 injections (for an existing medical condition).

How is everyone today?

whitwoochantelle · 09/12/2014 13:14

I spoke to midwife thus morning booked in fir next week will be 6w6d z

birchwoods · 09/12/2014 14:18

Hi girls! I've got my doctors appt first thing tomorrow, excited to get things moving! I really hope I'm able to get an appt with the mw over Christmas as I've had loads of doctors appts in the last month or so (suspected PCOS but all clear) and I work for a v small family business who are very nosey, so it's getting awkward taking time off. Hopefully if I can see the mw in the hols I will be able to get a scan booked in for the end of Kan when I will be 12wks. Can't wait to have my private early scan, a week on Sunday! Amazing to think our teeny embryos probably have a little hb now isn't it! No more symptoms here, just the same hurty boobs.

birchwoods · 09/12/2014 14:19

Hope it goes well for everyone who has Drs appts coming up, let us know what happens! Smile

Shantotto · 09/12/2014 14:29

Oh so jealous of you with appointments! I rang to ask for an appointment on the 28th Nov and they said it wouldn't be anything until January. Don't they realise how desperately important this is?!!

No sign even of a letter with the appointment date in it. I want my bounty pack!! Xmas Grin

daisysunshine2 · 09/12/2014 15:22

I've got a doctors appointment today but nothing exciting, they basically say congratulations and last time gave me the midwife paperwork to fill out before the first visit.. They don't even do a pg test so you're not missing out on much shantotto! :)
I did my last digital test today (just felt like it lol) and got pregnant 3+! :) which I was really pleased with because I'm only 5+2 and thought id probably get 2-3 as it wasn't FMU. Might explain why I'm feeling so sick and have a really horrible taste in my mouth all the time though? I can't wait for us to all have scans and see our beans!

wavesandsmiles · 09/12/2014 16:09

Hello...Back from GP appointment. She made me do another urine test, so that makes 4 confirmed BFPs since Sunday! She took my blood pressure 9fine), BMI of 22 so fine there too and is writing the letter to the MW.

The overwhelming nausea hit late morning so, given my HG history I'm straight onto promethazine as a first attempt to quell the sickness. Last time round I got through just about everything on the market, and nothing much worked, but hoping that being a bit more pre-emptive this time will help.

Next step is to sort out routine blood tests and then wait for the MW appointment. I imagine jaws will drop when they see my name - I was pretty much resident up at the hospital for 6.5 months last time round....

daisysunshine2 · 09/12/2014 18:19

Glad your appointment went well waves I've just got back from mine too, BP,BMI etc all fine too so he just gave me my pregnancy pack and said to wait to hear from the midwives! My midwife is off from now until Christmas though so I probably won't be seen till about 9 weeks, feels so far away! Going to have a private scan at 7 weeks though so got that to look forward to next :)
