Jools-Im here to hold your hand if you need it, congratulations on the BFP, i wouldnt obsess too much that the conception indicator says 1-2, i would have thought thats what it would show at this stage IMO, i wouldnt have thought it would show 2-3 until you were at 4+4 at least. Us ladies on here with BFP,s know only too well all the worry a new pregnancy can bring, but tell yourself that is what it is a NEW pregnancy, no reason at all why it cant run the next 8 months.

Wowzers jools that is fantastic news, congratulations, I am here for you, I know it's hard, I still knicker check now, but try and stay positive

blue thankyou and you are so right, I spent a lot of time thinking yesterday and I will join in with these baby clubs etc, I need to make the effort I know. Plus I need to stop feeling sorry for myself. I don't know if it's the chocolate I ate last night or what but I am feeling so much better this morning, probably talking on here helped to, so thanks for listening.
neeko you made me smile too, you and blue are 'near' by, well nearer than most xx

I'm OK thanks, not getting hung up on symptoms or lack of, so feeling quite calm at the moment, pretty sure it won't last for too long

anniecam38 · 13/04/2009 08:55

Im 6+2 today, my EDD is 5th December, im having scan at 8 weeks at EPU, so crossing my fingers tightly and knicker checking constantly at the moment.

VJaybigpants · 13/04/2009 08:56

mollie how many weeks are you now?

Molliemooma · 13/04/2009 08:57

annie I hope the next 2 weeks flyby til your scan
Vjay Only a tiny 4+5 today, so at least it's nearer 5wks than 4

VJaybigpants · 13/04/2009 08:57

I know what you mean annie as I said before I still knicker check, it's a habit now, not the greatest habit I know. Not long for your scan, it will be here before you know it xx

i lurrrrrrveeee all this baby talk! keep it coming, dont be scared to talk about it just cos some of us arent there yet ok?

Awww mollie a tiny wee bean. Have you booked an early scan too? I had scans at 7, 9 and 11 weeks, the 11 week one being my dating scan and the 7 and 9 week one due to spotting. A word of warning to you and annie, my dates were a little out in the early scans but the doc explained that because lo is so small, just moving the mouse to measure it slightly can knock off days even a week, by 11 weeks the dates were spot on.

Molliemooma · 13/04/2009 09:19

Vjay I'm trying to hold out until 8 wks as we lost the last two between 5-7 wks, I found it more heartbreaking seeing a hb at 6+4 and then losing it, so really want to try and wait if I can.
Barbie Thanks for that lovely comment, I so hope you will be joining in with the baby talk very soon. I think we got cut off on FB, still shocked you only get 45 days maternity leave!

mollie yeah i think a storm is coming so loosing the fb chat....we can hold your hands until 8 weeks, not long to wait now, no really it isnt...it will fly by...i think you are right to wait for as long as you can, i wll be following by example when its my time

Over here when you are pregnant and its confirmed by gp you have to buy a maternity package to cover you for the next 9 months, so depending on how much cash you have in your pocket will determine the level of care and the hospital you have your baby in. It also covers a number of scans, the most expensive package means as many scans as you choose.

VJaybigpants · 13/04/2009 09:41

Can't belive how different it is over there barbie and here was me fuming over the postcode lottery of the scanning procedures where I have to go private for a 20 week scan whereas if I lived ten mile east of here I would get one for free!

mollie good idea waiting till 8 weeks. I resigned myself that I couldn't change whatever was going to happen in the future of this pregnancy so just got on with it, most days I did but I did have some wobbly days too.
