Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Do you have any idea at all? Don't panic, see the doctor and ask for a dating scan asap - this is usually done at 12 weeks but I think they can do them earlier and they will give you a due date which is used thereafter, even for pregnancies where LMP date is known. Congratulations !

SarahL2 · 07/05/2009 16:23

It's OK, they can give you an early dating scan before 12 weeks and will be able to work out how pregnant you are from the size of the feotus

Don't panic.

Off to the doctors myself in a minute and am hoping I might get a dating scan cause my periods have been all over the place!

Hello!

Congratulations on your pregnancy. I also didn't know when the baby would be due exactly, but in my case it is because I am breastfeeding and have had no period since before conceiving my previous child, if that makes sense. They can give you a scan to determine your dates, they don't really need to know the last period dates.

It's all quite scary, I know, when it's your first! Don't worry, you'll find lots of support on here, and IRL, if you have moved to a new area then ante natal classes will be a good way to meet people.

alexpolismum · 07/05/2009 16:25

meant to say - don't panic! if you are worried about the whole thing, or unsure of something, you can always ask questions on here, there's usually someone able to help! I got lots of advice that way when I had my first baby.

Hi everyone and thank you for the congratulations and welcome. I think I am so worried because I have chosen not to tell anyone apart from my DP until we know more from the doctor etc. I also thought it was wise to wait until the 12th week..? This means that i have no one to talk to about it all..which is probably normal?

As far as I can remember my last period was early March.

It is the sensible thing to wait until you get past 12 week scan because you may not want to share the news if there are any problems (mc risk much higher than pre-12 weeks and the 12 wk scan will show if there are any issues you want to consider privately, such as Downs Syndrome probability) BUT, I could never manage to keep quiet, everyone knew! Also the fact that I wasn't drinking wine was a huge giveaway .

Plenty of people to chat to on here about it all if you do manage to keep it secret in RL though!

I know what you mean re not drinking!!! I have cancelled this weekend back in my old patch as it involved lots of partying and people would definitely guess if I wasn't enjoying my usual glass ot three!

SarahL2 · 07/05/2009 17:26

Back from the doctors! He's sent off the forms to request my dating scan around 12 weeks

I'm currently 7 weeks so am keeping my pregnancy a secret in RL. The people on MNet are lovely and supportive though (which is what I'll need if I miscarry again) so I felt it was Ok to let them know cause I'll need them if it all goes horibly wrong

allothernamesused · 07/05/2009 17:59

Fingers crossed for you SarahL2. Let me know how it all goes.

OP posts:

Miamla · 07/05/2009 18:21

oh and i only told people in the early weeks who i could rely on for support if anything did go wrong

BexieID · 08/05/2009 21:53

I never had a 12 week scan with Tom as they weren't offered in the area I used to live, just 20 week ones. I'm 7 weeks pregnant now and have a GP appt next week. I have told a few people at work as have had quite bad backache atm. Don't want people thinking i'm a moody mare for no reason!

Hi all, sorry that I have not been replying - I have been trying to get my head around it all! Finally got a doctors appointment today and have just returned home. Feel completely fed up and just want to ball my eyes out as the doctor was a locum and didn't seem that interested and basically told me to make an appointment with the MW. So at the reception desk I filled out the forms only to have the receptionist snigger as I had written that I was unsure about the date of my last period. She then told me I wouldn't get a scan until I had a date for my last period. I had explained to the doctor that my last period had come early, was roughly mid march and that was strange. I just felt humiliated by the receptionist. I know that women get pregnant everyday and that it's nothing new but it is the first time for me and i just wanted a bit of reassurance. I feel worse now than I did before. I am sorry to be such a downer, it's just hard having no one to talk to about this.

Hi!!
I'm pretty confused about my LMP. I think that the last time was around mid of April but before that i was having my periods twice every month for a month and a half because my doctor changed my birth control pills. Now i haven't had any periods since mid April but i'm soooo confused as to what to tell my doctor. This is my 2nd pregnancy. I have an 11 1/2 month old son. Having very bad cramps and backaches too. I'm really worried. Any advice?!

-Sarah.

sana123 · 14/06/2009 18:11

SarahL2,
You are in my prayers. May this pregnancy be a healthy and joyful one for you?(Amen).

-Sarah.

I have recently found out I am pregnant, I had my coil removed on 3rd October and my partner and I started trying straight away. I had some bleeding for a few days after removal but have not had a proper period yet. Will the doctor be able to work out how far in I am?

Boddie12 · 28/12/2018 04:32

Hi I’m 27 I have 4 kids already 3 pregnancies and I’m pregnant now but I’m stuck in a bad situation because I wanted to fuck more than 1 guy now I don’t know which 1 is the father. But I have endometriosis and polycystic ovaries and the doctors told me that I couldn’t conceive and I believed them now I’m here for advice. I had sex with guy #1 Oct.24,2018,guy #2 Oct.30,2018, and guy #3 in November like around the 20th something but I don’t recall when was my last menestrual cycle because they were irregular. But on December 17,2018 I found out I was pregnant and they say that I was 8wks and 3 days but I goes to the ER a few days later because I was having bad stomach pain and was told that I was threatened a miscarriage. Goes back to another hospital 2 days later to find out that I’m pregnant but they can’t see no baby and was told that I was 4wks and 3 days so they referred me to a lab for further test on January 2,2019 to se if I miscarried or if I were just early in my pregnancy. But also I didn’t mention that guy #3 never ejaculated at all

gaylea15 · 19/01/2019 00:09

Dear, Boddie 12

Congrats! 4 kids and three pregnancies, you have twins? regarding the issue you are currently facing I believe it is guy number 3. I pray that you do not have a miscarriage because I remember how hard that was for me.

wish you all the best!

gaylea15 · 19/01/2019 00:10

Hi,

How are you! did you find out the due date?

Boddie12 · 19/01/2019 06:16

I’m facing a miscarriage for the second time in 1 pregnancy and my spouse is upset not with me but by me having a miscarriage. If you can tell what can I do to bing my hg levels back up?

Boddie12 · 19/01/2019 06:19
