New thread for us all

mummy I hope your okay , I'm really sad to see your news! Take care of yourself lovley. . im thinking of you xx

Hello orange. . thanks! you too x

How lovely to have such a big group of people at the same place. It'll be so exciting hearing about everyone moving through the stages.

We've got booking in on Thursday too...

MissMartin! Congrats on your BFP! Nice to see another member of the other thread on this one too! How are you feeling so far symptom-wise?

Sad news for you mummy. Take care and I hope you feel better soon!

I wanted to pop back to the May bus and say hi but I've lost it - can anyone link me??

dobby FX for you that it's just a bit of spotting and nothing else. Glad you got to speak to someone.

Mummy so sorry to hear your news

Looking Due dates: it doesn't matter whether the doc works it out from LMP or Ovulation/Conception date or length of your "blob" on the scan, they still give you a number that's equivalent to weeks from your LMP (I.e. 2 weeks older than actual conception - you are 2 weeks pregnant the day you DTD successfully!)

For example, say your LMP was 6th April, that makes it 7+0 today. Imagine you don't track ovulation, but you actually ovulated on Day 18 of your cycle (not day 14 as universally assumed by all medical processes). This means you ovulated on April 24th and today are 6+3. When you go for your 12 week scan they will measure your bean and work out what that length equates to for the average foetus. You might get given an estimated EDD based on a calculated conception of April 22nd for example.

So if the doc calculates your EDD based on your LMP, you get 11 Jan. Based on actual ovulation/conception (if you knew it), your EDD is 16 Jan. Based on your 12 week scan your EDD is 14 Jan. the only thing you can be sure of, is that there's a baby due some time in Jan! I think they take the date from the scan as being the most accurate.

Hope that helps

Cubano are you going to your appointment with your DP? I wasn't planning to but not sure what the done thing is!

Hello guys can I join in!!! I'm 7weeks today- due Jan 11th
Ttc#1 for 19m had just started the fertility investigations route and surprise!!!
V v excited
No sickness (lucky me!) V tired v sore bbs!!!
How are all you ladies xxx

Yes good point are people's DHs/DPs coming to their booking appointments? Mine is coming to the early and 12 week scan of course but didn't think he needed to for the booking.

hiiii Maybe Congratulations to you too .. im fine.. no sickness ect just extremly tired! i had a scare last Thursday though i had a small bleed/spotting when af should have been due but it cleared up fast must have been breakthrough bleeding... now im fine.. its kinda surreal cz ive not seen a dr yet lol.. how are you ? x

Hello MrsChatty Congratulations

most likley not as my dp will prob be working.. i hope he can though!

Hi missmartin! Another one from the May bus, lovely to see you here and congratulations

Re booking appointments, unless your oh has a complicated medical history, then your probably fine to go alone. My oh came to our first one and he really didn't need to be there. He won't be coming along to this one.

Hi mischatty! Congrats and welcome

hello!! teenie .. can't believe how many familiar names im seeing! thanks! Congratulations too!!

Congrats chatty and miss and anyone else I've missed!

chatty we are EDD twins. There's someone else due on 11Jan, but I can't remember who it is...parsnip?

DH is hopefully going to make all the scans, but won't be coming to the midwife apps.

Oh good, thanks all - my instinct was not to bring him to the midwife appointment but he'll be coming to the scans!

My thoughts are with all of those who have had bad news.

Welcome to all the newbies.

I had my booking in appointment on Thursday was long but made it very real. Scan booked for 25th June.

I have had limited sickness till now however today I feel like I've been hit by a train. Really hope it doesn't linger and I feel so sorry for those that have this all the time. You are stronger women than I.

Congratulations to all the new joiners!

Looks like I might have spoken too soon about the nausea. I've had the terrible quease all day along with that horrible taste. Last week's emergency scan suggested I was about 5wks, not nearly 7 as I'd thought, so pre when morning sickness usually starts. I'd hoped I might be getting off lightly but looks like I was just ahead of myself

No not me black and white, my EDD is 25 Jan :)

Ooh excellent Juniper a due date twin! I've just worked mine out with one of those web calculators, will see if the midwife agrees on Friday.

Welcome chatty and miss :)

I've had another two hour nap this evening, not quite sure how I'm going to cope back at work next week! I am just shattered.

mine is 27th Jan.. Anyone else?

Thanks for the welcome everyone

Yep for those asking, I didn't take my dh to the booking appointment and really there wasn't a need for him to be there at all! But I was almost insistent that he is there for the dating scan! Although a Dr friend of mine assured me that even at that scan it will fly by and you don't really get to see much! (She was trying to reassure my that it wasn't vital that my dh was there!)

Welcome to all the newbies!
