Ta dahhhhhhh

NJ - sorry you didn't have best experience this morning. You are not a wuss! Sounds like MW was listening to you at all. You're right to take the positive tho - they went through the usual procedures and all ok.

Glaskham - I'm temping too but in celcius!

Nat - sorry the midwife wasn't very helpful!

hi all

Thanks for everyone asking about me. Sorry for the delay in giving an update had to come straight to London to work and the train took forever.

MW was fab, very amusing and re-assuring- again thinks date is 14/3 so earlier.

Scan was ok- showed egg sack in the right place and at the right size for 6 wks (apparently Im exactly 6wks today). But the lady said it was really too early to see a heart beat.

So I?m going back again in 2 wks ? 5th Aug- for another scan to confirm viability. She did say everything looked ok.

So I guess I just keep positive and hope no more bleeding episodes and wait 2 wks. Like 2WW number 2! . Oh and my bean or the sack is 11mm long

NJ- Sorry your MW appt wasn?t very helpful. Can you try and see a different one in the practice?
Congrats again Cals and Cosmo-

I need to catch up on the rest of this mornings messages now! and today?s work.

bye for now

GYo, am really glad the scan went well What a relief!

Good GYo, I'm glad the scan went well, I was thinking of you.

Cosmo

am with you on the sick thing. Im phobic of others vomiting (am sure that will change with a DC to look after!) so not looking fwd to it. My MW said wait til 8wks for it to kick in.

Enjoy feeling good while you can.

Not that I have experience but I reckon best thing to do is to establish a little and often eating pattern and stick to it. Might help prevent blood sugar crashes which apparently makes it worse.

Woman next to me in waiting room today was sipping ginger beer. She looked mighty pukey.

So glad it went well GYo - lovely to hear about what is going on inside. If you are six weeks today, that makes you exactly two weeks ahead of me.

Glad I'm not the only sick-phobic person! As you say, might as well get used to it before vomiting child arrives! Think I will have to stock up on the ginger beer/biscuits etc... Little meals sound good but I am such a three meals a day girl, might need to re-train myself.

Think we are going to tell MIL next week, then my Mum and Dad at the weekend when we see them.

GYo - I'm so glad it went well.

Thats fab news

Eating little and often always helped me, like I said earlier I had awful sickness second time around, just felt green 24 hours a day for until week 16 and wearing sea bands really helped me. You can buy them at your chemist.

Digestives, apples and crackers got me through it and lots of rest!!! Whenever I was tired it was worse.

Hi NJ, sorry the midwife appt wasn't very helpful, good job your expectations weren't too high but guess that's no consolation. I'm sure it must just be that everything's fine in there .

GYo - Fab news, so pleased you managed to get the early scan and reassurance you need

Cosmo / GYo, pregnancy does funny things to you and you will probably be surprised at how well you cope with MS and with babies they kind of wean you onto the puking, it starts off easy and not smelly and gets worse in stages - I think its natures way of helping you be immune to it! It IS different when its your child and that child needs you

I wish I knew how pregnant I am...I'm not sure if I'm four or five weeks . Next question is when to contact MW, I think its not until about 8 weeks around here, so I can just kick back and relax for a bit!

glad your scan went well, GYo

Am dying over here as I'm trying to hold my urine for an afternoon OPK - while also trying to drink lots of water for plentiful CM! Who makes this stuff up????

LOL LBOT, don't drink too much water, it will dilute your urine and you won't get the hcg concentrated enough to detect you can't do right in this game!!!

Many congrats to everyone with BFP!!

(Feel free to spread a bit of that fertility fairydust around! )

I'm on CD32 today and witch is due to arrive any day now...keeping my fingers crossed and trying not to get too hopeful.

(Had some weird symptoms this week, but I reckon I'm just imagining them... )

NJ - sorry, meant to say earlier MW wasn't listening!

GYo - glad everything went well

All the BFPs are still making me smile and hope some of this luck rubs off on me over next few months!

That's OK Ses, I knew what you meant!

Good luck Kal, imagined symptoms are the best!

Cal it might be worth at least ringing your GP/MW unit, only because they get booked up for the booking in appointments quite quickly, so although you might not have to see them till 8 weeks, you might have needed to book that appt. by 6 weeks IYKWIM?

Cal - NJ is right. I went to see GP at 5 weeks and didn't get MW appointment until 10 weeks. No harm in contacting GP sooner rather than later!

Wow, last time round I got in with the MW almost straight away! I think I'll leave it a week or so before calling them, I'll feel a bit of a keeno desperado ringing them the day after I get my BFP!

I am soooooooooo tired. At least when I complain about it now DH is being sympathetic!

And so he should! Make the most of it and don't be afraid to get all the rest you can!

Cal I got in almost straight away with DS2 IIRC, but had to wait for weeks with this one. Ring when you're ready, there isn't any real rush, just wanted to make you aware that it can take a while!

The tiredness is crap isn't it? Nothing like it IMO, even with a newborn it is different, would rather have a newborn lack of sleep tiredness than a pregnancy tiredness any day of the week! (remind me I said that come January please )

I second the tiredness as being awful. Its a bit like a ME sort of tiredness (not as bad of course) the sort of dragging, heavy body, mind muddling, sort that does not get better no matter how much you sleep. Well I suppose thats not quite true, it does get a bit better if you go to bed really early but it doesn't go away. It also makes work really hard to deal with, I just can't concentrate. Never mind, been through worse, will get through this!

i've got terrible cramps this afternoon,I hope they're just need the loo cramps, nothing sinister....

Ooo I hope so too Cal. I've had mild period type cramps off and on since before my BFP. Think its normal, or at least I hope it is

Cramps are perfectly normal and actually good, it shows things are happening, IME MC cramps are more like labour pains than period pains (and I know they are likened to each other, but they aren't quite the same IYKWIM?)

Cal - I know lots of people who have had implantation cramps early on. They often feel quite low down IYKWIM.

We're having fun with the Irish relatives. The youngest is our nephew who is 15 months and v cute! Making me even more broody!

Hi Playing! I'm being slow on the typing again and x-posting!

Just phoned midwife and got appointment for August 17th - they will see me on a Sunday! Was rather shocked at helpfulness of lady and how accommodating - she even said congratulations! I will be 7 and a half weeks by then, all being well. Not sure exactly what she will do but she said something about three blood tests - ick! Do they do internals or anything dodgy like that?
