I have just realised I'm likely to be sent for my twelve week scan during school holidays

Three kids in tow

Place-marking on the new thread! Hope everyone is well!

Can anyone shed any light on a "threatened miscarriage"?? Has anyone had one in a previous pregnancy and then gone on to a healthy full term? I was in hospital last night, they were great and I had a scan (6+1 yesterday) which showed a large clot in the uterus too - along with a teeny tiny pip with a teeny tiny flickering heartbeat. Trying to be positive as cervix closed again and the bleeding has stopped but they told me they have no idea if I'll continue as normal or if the bleeding will start again. Guess I'm clutching at straws for anyone's experience? Thanks so much.

I've dropped off the list so just adding myself back in!

Just added myself. Just taken me half an hour to catch up on this thread! Hope everyone is feeling well today. Tried to book in for midwife today but the surgery was closed. Still in denial really - well apart from the never-ending nausea!

Hello all, just checking in on new thread.
Saw the doc today to be referred to midwives and sort meds (I have a minor thyroid issue that needs monitoring during pregnancy). Made it all feel more real which was nice.
Viability scan is tomorrow, at 6+5. Feels like I've been waiting FOREVER but now it's almost here I'm absolutely crapping myself. Doesn't help that other than sore boobs (which the progesterone I'm on is known for causing) all symptoms have abated. You think I'd enjoy sleeping well, not cramping and not feeling sick, but no!
Argh.

It's the irony - symptoms are rubbish but we worry when they seem to disappear. Like Sod's law. I swore my perfume didn't seem so strong this morning and went through the whole 'what if' scenario.

Grumble I hope the scan goes well tomorrow.

Thanks all, I had an eating disorder in my teens/twenties and I always end up getting panicky when I know I will be putting on weight. Was the same when I was prescribed medication that caused water retention. It's silly as I know I'm supposed to put on weight but I'm scared I wouldn't know where to stop I'm a terrible under eater despite being overweight

Ugh have a full blown cold. 😐

Hi all
Hope you don't mind me joining got my BFP last week now 5 weeks. Just looking for some other women's experience of doctors appointments ect. This is my first and I was a little surprised when I rang my surgery to book an appointment with my dr when the lady asked what the appointment was for and I told her it was because I found out I was pregnant she said there was no need to see a dr as long as I was well and I just needed to pop in and fill in a form and the midwife would contact me. Perhaps this is normal and yes I can understand that I'm not ill and the doctors are busy but I just feel a bit left alone. I'm already taking folic acid ect but just seems strange I haven't had any checks or anything? 3 days later I haven't heard from the midwife, I realise it's still early days but I just feel a bit confused! Any advice or experience shared great fully received! Xx

Hi Belle, congratulations on your BFP!

Don't worry, you don't need anything from your GP. The process varies from place to place - in some areas you just refer yourself straight to the local midwife, and in other the GP wants to see you first and they refer you.

But it's the midwife that really matters. I had to go and see my GP first and she just said 'OK, here's the number for the midwife'. That was basically the whole appt. She took my blood pressure, asked 'was it planned?', have you been pregnant before?', and 'are you taking vitamins?'.

Must have been her easiest appt all day

I would leave it a week at least before chasing the midwife. Mine say they will get back to you within 14 days and ended up phoning me back in about 8 days.

Re-adding to the list as I've disappeared :)

belle I thought that with my first! I was certain someone should be confirming things at the very least, but apparently it just isn't necessary, hopefully the mw will be in touch soon :)

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for getting back to me! God I feel like a crazy pregnant woman already! Lol. That's great to know, do they book your scans too? X

Thanks wonder yes my husband was like surly they need to check they aren't just going to take our word for it?! Haha. I feel much more at ease knowing I'm not missing out on anything! Xx

Don't worry, Belle, we are all crazy here

When the midwife contacts you they will arrange your 'booking-in' appointment, which takes place around 8 weeks. This is basically a lot of paperwork about you and your family history, plus they take blood for tests. Apparently it's very anti-climatic and boring (I'm only 7 weeks tomorrow so I wouldn't know!).

They will also (at the same time or after the 8-week appt) book you in for around 12 weeks for your scan. That's the exciting one!

Thanks lisa
That's great to know! Wishing you and everyone a healthy pregnancy!! Xx

Hello, hope it's okay for me to join in here too! Positive test a couple of weeks ago and have my first appointment next week. It's about eight weeks since my last period (although I'm pretty sure it's four since I actually conceived, as periods still hadn't really settled down since coming off pill). I think that means I'm due October - but I really have no idea what I'm doing! Very much appreciate this chance to glean some worldly wisdom from people who are a bit more clued up about how this all works!

5+6 today. Added myself below as I'd dropped off too. Found myself blurting out I was pregnant to a colleague today even though I wasn't going to tell anyone - and to someone who offered me a job. Am still going to wait till I tell my mum as I think she would worry too much! May be having an early scan as I have endometriosis and apparently there's a higher risk of ectopic, but the doctor didn't seem too concerned, so waiting to hear back from the hospital.

Oh my, the wind is getting to embarrassing levels now.

Disney my DH suffers from depression and anxiety too and I'm worried about how this whole process will affect him (it's our first). Everyone is different of course, but I'd be really interested in any advice you have from your first time round.

Hi just adding myself to the list, 6+2 today and very hungry!

Can someone lovely add me pls, I can't seem to copy the list on my phone

Bluecarrot DC 3 due October 15th

Punky - my dp was away when I tested, so I put a note inside his Valentine's Day card and gave him it when he came home. (Note separate so we could then hide note from my teen did, but display the card!) He was really confused why it was so early, but I said it gave him time to find a gift that would even vaguely compete with mine (was hoping for a ring... Was left v disappointed!)
