Sorry to hear muddle xx

Um hello, I think I may belong here
Very nervous second timer and taken a while to join the gang!

Sorry to hear that muddle - take care xxx

Sorry to hear that muddle

Hello changing

Oh muddle I'm so sorry to hear that, I really am xxx

Welcome changing

twinkle I've kept saying I don't feel grown up enough too! I'm 33 so clearly I am... Just don't really feel it!

This is TMI but going to the toilet no.2 is much more painful beforehand and not as regular, which isn't helping the mahoosive bloating and grumpiness.

Booking appt next week, think I need to fill out the wad of paperwork they gave me before I go

Well did my sample for the Go this morning and couldn't resist sticking a cheapie in. Line is thicker and stronger than 3 days ago. Hope that means growth.

my lines are finally getting stronger so I think I'm starting to accept that this baby really is happening, my EDD will be the 15th October but I have a feeling that I'm less than that hence the faint lines. I'm almost hoping for a Halloween baby

Also a newbie on the thread with DC2 .

4 weeks + 1 (or is it plus 2?! Was 4 weeks yesterday anyway!) so very, very early days yet, just trying to keep myself occupied until the magic 12 (and hoping the sickness doesn't visit this time!)

morning ladies. can i join? i am 4+1 so very early days and went through an awful mmc november / december last year so pretty much petrified.

debated joining a group but got lots of good advice on the last one so here i am.

hope everyone is well and the symptoms are keeping you all reassured but not driving u mad

I had my GP appointment this morning and I'm feeling a bit...underwhelmed.

I will preface this by saying that my doctor is really really lovely, and she was very happy for me, but I found the appointment a bit disheartening.

She didn't confirm my pregnancy, just took my word for it (no blood or urine taken) and asked if I was happy to be under the hospital local to the doctors (Chelsea and Westminster) for ante natal care and for he birth, which I am.

Other than that, she said the usual 'take folic acid, don't drink' stuff and asked a few basic questions about LMP,history of twins etc for the hospital referral. She gave me a copy of 'Emma's Diary' (dated spring 2013...)

I was expecting to be given a number to call to book a midwife appointment for 8 weeks, but apparently here they don't see you until TWELVE WEEKS. Not even for a booking appointment - they do that around your 12 week scan. I suppose it is London so they must be busy and I guess that saves them 'wasting' time seeing women who then miscarry, but it's made me really sad. I'm sitting here having a little cry (ridiculous, I know) because I'm already struggling to believe that this is really happening, I'm petrified of miscarriage every time I get an ache or twinge and I just don't feel pregnant.

I think I might have to pay for an early scan (£100+, ouch!) even though DP didn't seem keen when I floated the idea.

Is anyone else in this situation? I just don't feel like this is actually happening...

Hi can I join please. Thought was due sept but had early scan yday and now edd 6/10/15. It's no.2 . Scan yday showed a blob with a strong heartbeat.
No symptoms really apart from being very very tired.

Hettyb, both me and my oh found the attitudes of both the doctors and midwives disheartening to say the least with my first, I just think that they are so used to dealing with the problems that they forget the happy times. It felt like we were just a useless statistic and I remember feeling really deflated. try not to let it get you down. I've not even bothered booking yet for exactly that reason

So sorry for your loss last year Ginger

I think I'm imagining symptoms... We're the same time scale, what are you experiencing? I can't remember what I felt when pg with DS

Hetty I felt the same last time I was pregnant. I didn't even bother trying to see the doctor this time as knew that they are perfectly nice but don't confirm or really do anything much! We see mw at 10 weeks around here. Not sure what I'd do about the early scan. Maybe hang on a few weeks and see if the symptoms come?

I got my first BFP in the early hours of this morning. The second line came up after 1 minute, and it wasn't too faint. I used a Tesco test. I think I'm in shock, immediately after seeing the second line I woke DH and asked if he could see the second line, which he could...I haven't slept all night, felt really shaky and sick, think it was the enormity of finally getting my BFP!
Only, this morning I read somewhere that 25% of all pg end in chemical pg? I'm so worried now... I am still getting AF style cramps, constant backache, spotty face, and feel nauseous when hungry. No sore boobs tho. I think I'm due AF today or tomorrow according to Ovia.
Any thoughts/advice?
I have attached 2 pictures of the test, and I'm going to buy a clearblue digi after work today.
If I'm right then my dd will be around the 12th Oct.

BTW the line is not as faint as it is in the picture...!

Certainly looks like a line to me! Congrats MrsPotato!

Congrats Mrs potato xxx

How are you all feeling today? I'm starting to feel a little queasy and dizzy although I haven't eaten or drank anything yet. I thought I'd b home safe for another two weeks :( bring on the 12 weeks!!

thank you looks not any massive symptoms certainly feel nauseous probably mostly when hungry. its not too bad but does get to the stage where i think gosh i wish i could just be sick so it passes. boobs r starting to change a little to look at but last time they didnt change juch until af was about 10 days late.

was only due af yesterday so its still very early.

i have got a chin full of spots though and slight aches but nothing to worry about. last time i had horrendous backache i dont know it i want it or i dont this time.

potato dont worry sometimes your symptoms really arent that noticeable. i know how u feel about booking in, last time my mw appointment was cancelled and mmc was discovered before i was due to see mw so i had to cancel. almost felt like wasnt really pregnant. try not to worry. if there was a prblem it would make itself known in some way i think.

Hello!

Can I join? No idea of EDD but reckon probably October!

We have been leaving our family size up to chance for a few years (we will stop at 4!) and we have DD1 3yrs & DD2 20 months.

BFP this morning & last period was early January but no idea when!

Trying not to get too excited this early on & failing miserably! We live very rurally 45 mins from a hospital and DD2 was born in an ambulance so might be a home birth for us.

Oh & I am 31

Welcome all new mummies.

I hope everyone is having an enjoyable day.

I have been to my GP this morning and got prescribed anti sickness and vitamin B6 in the hope my HG doesn't present in full force this time xxx

Glossy are you already vomiting? What meds did they put you on? I'm wondering about getting anti sickness from my GP as well... Just want to avoid last time's 22-week-long debacle.

knocker checking in full force today, I got this far in pregnancy 1 and lost bean so paranoid today that the same will happen! lots of sharp pains coming and going today so feel a little more relaxed that my uterus is growing not giving up!
