Starlight - I had no idea on conception date and so I think the Dr had to go for dating scan, as I was so unhelpful! But when I went today it was totally deserted - the antenatal at North Hampshire Hospital is the same place as the fertility clinic (I don't know about other hospitals, but I didn't like being there surrounded by pregnant women when I went for fertility appmts) and every time I went it was rammed. Today, empty! DH - "I don't know why you said you hated this place, it's really pleasant!" We were early, went straight in, scan took 6 minutes! However at our hospital you have to have a Dr appmt to get a scan you can't go to them direct. SO maybe you should go back to your Dr if you are really unsure on dates, just to be safe.
Macaco and others with 'morning sickness' - I sympathise. I feel guilty for whining about it when I am so pleased to be pg, and I feel a fraud feeling so sick sick sick and tired with nothing to show for it. I've been collecting advice and here's what works to minimise the worst of it for me (it doesn't go completely but it makes it manageable at work):
I have dry food to snack on and try to have a bit every hour, like Ritz crackers, cream crackers, breadsticks and toast.
I have plain watery soup if I can't keep anything down, with the dry food.
I don't take the vitamin tablets unless I am feeling relatively ok.
I have to go to bed at 8pm latest (before my son!) else I get so tired and stomach-achy I end up taking paracetamol and I only want to do that if I am desperate.
I don't have any tea or coffee or chocolate as it seems to make it worse.
I have a box of Preggy Pops and one of Queasy Drops from Mothersbliss, and other sweets sucking seems to help.
I drink water constantly and also cranberry juice.
There you go, hope that maybe helps!
Wow mega long post! Now shall I go have a sleep? or shall I go help DH decorate the flat we bought? or shall I do some schoolwork? hmmm....
