I thought for sure someone else would have posted this before me! I am 5 weeks along (sounds so insignificant.....) and am seeing my doctor tomorrow to get things going. Am really excited and am hoping that things go well! According to those pregnancy charts, my edd is June 12.
So come on mumsnetters, who else is joining me here?!

I just saw my midwife - same one as when I had ds.
she has told be to ring EPAU for an early reassurance scan after m/c last time, then booking in appt in Dec.

Jemma7 · 23/10/2003 16:31

Oh Boggy - how are you feeling - bet now you've seen the midwife it all seems real!

Can u tell im pleased for you

Bogwoppit · 23/10/2003 16:47

Jems
no sickness yet, but really tired.
really glad midwife said to ring for an early scan
They only do one at 20wks here usually &I know it would be hard waiting that long.
I'm 6 weeks now so a couple more weeks & I can get an early scan & see baby for real

thanks for being pleased for me
baby dust to you!

Jemma7 · 23/10/2003 17:05

Does tiredness kick in straight away then? My Best Friend said this was the only reason she knew she was PG.

Thanks for the Babydust - will make sure i sprinkle it all over my dinner!

wuzzybee · 23/10/2003 20:27

Can I join you?Just did my test a couple of hours ago...so exciting. Reckon it could be the end of June if all goes well. it's number 2 for us - haven't told anyone except DH. Bit scary but brilliant. No symptoms yet but very early days

Cavy · 23/10/2003 21:43

Love to have you, Wuzzybee -- the more the merrier, and all that. I think the full moon next year are 3 June & 1 July, so maybe all the births will cluster around those days?

I told DH. We both agree that so far I am not as sick (so far) as last time, and that was his first main worry. He's also scared about the pressures, but we have had so many upheavals in our lives last 6 months, that I feel like I can take whatever happens with this pregnancy in stride. Just right now, I don't even feel queasy, which is very lovely.

wuzzybee · 25/10/2003 07:50

I didn't have morning sickness last time round - can't remember when it starts (if it's going to ) At the moment I've got no symptoms at all - apart from feeling a bit more hungry - but that might be because I've been on a diet until now and I suppose it's a pretty pointless thing to carry on with!

Have had a miscarriage. Started last Monday slightly bleeding, and just got worse through the week. A scan on Thursday couldn't detect a heartbeat. Am going back for another scan this week, but I have lost the baby. Am absolutly devestated. Our most recent loss was only in June, and that still feels so very raw. Really didn't think we'd be unlucky again. But I guess it's no longer a matter of luck once you've lost 3. Lots of questions and no answers.

I wish you all healthy pregnancies, and hope you all have wonderful news to share by the time June get here......

i am so sorry to hear your sad news. take care of yourself. xxxxxx

alterego · 26/10/2003 20:25

SO sorry to hear your sad news hana - but hope you'll start getting some help now in finding out why you are miscarrying - round here women have to miscarry three times before any investigations are made and I'm assuming that this is the case nationally.

alterego · 26/10/2003 20:34

I'm expecting - June 18th probably although dates a bit uncertain. Feel a bit tired and seem to be getting fatter already. I've got two boys aged 7 and 2.

juelgaz · 27/10/2003 11:51

hana,
my thoughts are with you x

Bogwoppit · 27/10/2003 13:08

bleagh
morning sickness kicked in today. not sick but really bad waves of nausea just like with ds.
time ot find thise ginger biscuits I think.

karen01 · 27/10/2003 16:09

HI All.

Hana so sorry to hear of your loss
This may seem a bit of a daft question but, I am wondering what the probability of me having twins is, as my paternal grandfather was a twin, paternal great aunt had twins and maternal great great grandmothers (both my grandmas and grandads grandma) had twins Hope that makes sense. Looking at the above I would say that my chances of twins are fairly high!! or am I just been silly. Not that I would mind twins but the thought is quite daunting all the same. Think I will have a chat to midwife when I see her in two weeks!!

Take care all

Karenx

Karen, your chances do seem higher than most women! A friend is expecting twins in mid December (she has an aunt/uncle twins, and a brother/sister set too) She is expecting boys, very exciting for them I think! Let us know what you see at a scan....

Karen, it's non identical twins which run in the family apparently. This is because its genetic that some women release two eggs instead of one. do you know if these people in your family were identical or not?
Hana, hope you are ok.

cathncait · 28/10/2003 01:18

Hana, so sorry to hear about your loss. Only just caught up with this thread - I hope you are coping ok.

zebra · 28/10/2003 08:41

Not my thread, but saw the twins thing -- I have lots of identical twins in my family, which made the hospital very excited. I guess sometimes apparent identicals are actually fraternal twins? And also, the theory is that the ability to tolerate high hormone levels may be heriditary, and thus even identical twins may tend to travel down maternal lines. But moreover, there was an article in New Scientist about a family where identical twins seemed to travel down the male line; I am sister, DD and GDD to 3 sets of identical male twins, but I tend to get pretty bad sickness from just singletons, so I reckon it won't ever happen to me.

Sorry about your Loss, Hana.

niknik · 28/10/2003 08:58

Hi everyone

I wondered if I can lodge on your thread for a bit, as I've just found last night that I am pregnant due v early july. My first and last pregnancy ended with a miscarrige at 7 weeks so I am feeling more apprehensive than excited

Do I need to go straight to GP last preg I was admitted with abdo pain the day I found out.

Bogwoppit · 28/10/2003 09:14

nik nik I went to gp when I found out & got appt with midwife for next day - she has told me to go to early preg unit next week for a reassurance scan because I lost my last one at 8 weeks.

perhaps if you go you can gets the wheels in motion & ask about an early scan

niknik · 28/10/2003 09:20

Thanks for that Boggy I will go today.
I'm feeling nauseous already so hopefully thats a good sign unless I'm imangining it as I did'nt think that started until about 6 weeks

Cavy · 28/10/2003 10:26

NikNik: when are you due?

Hana: Am sad to hear about your loss. Not fair.

We told inlaws over the weekend and they do not approve. MIL said "If it is Down's, and you do get a termination, will you then be sterilised?" I don't think it matters what context I put that remark in, it was still horrible. Made me very upset. DH is excited, at least, and never takes his Mum too seriously.

Have any of you thought much yet about antenatal screening for Down's syndrome, etc.? I am wrestling with the options. Difficult decisions, spinning my head round & round.

wendy123 · 28/10/2003 10:27

Hi,I am not using my normal name as I haven't told anyone yet but I am about 6 wks I think. I think I will be due about 20th June.I am not sure how i feel about it,it will be our 2nd child our 1st is 21 mths old.Dh is thrilled but I feel terrible because i am not,I suppose i am happy but very apprehensive.

niknik · 28/10/2003 12:16

Cavy my book says that I am due 5th July but I don't fancy sitting all alone on that thread

karen01 · 28/10/2003 23:38

HI

The twins on both sides are identical and non identical. Will just have to wait and see.

DD is just coming round to the idea of me having a baby trying to reassure her that things will be the same towards me and her, must be tough as she has been an only child for 7yrs. Just imagine her delight if I have to tell her mammy is having two babies. Only time will tell!!!
