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?!

scampadoodle - I must be on my way to hell then because I have 1 glass of wine 2 or 3 times a week, still. I thought this was OK by most people, although I know there are some schools of thought which say don't drink anything. (New Zealand for example). But others (France/Italy?) are much more relaxed about it.

I found a cool page . Scroll down and it gives statistics like the average crown-rump length of the embryo/fetus for each day in early pregnancy. They are growing fast! Can't believe mine is already 4 cm and yet I still won't feel it move for months, yet.

Haven't contributed to this thread for a while as I'm worryingly short of symptoms. Apart from the obvious one (no AF) and a +ve pregnanct test there's nothing really. With the my two dss I felt quite nauseous and tired. A friend says "oh that means it'll be a girl then" which would be great but I don't want to believe her. Can pregnancies be SO different?

alterego · 24/11/2003 19:38

Worryingly short of symptoms has turned into possible miscarriage. Have had some bleeding today. Booked in for a scan on Wednesday - chances are supposed to be 50/50 but with my lack of symptoms I'm rather pessimistic. Will keep you posted.

Cavy · 24/11/2003 20:36

So sorry to hear all that, alterego. Let us know what happens.

cathncait · 24/11/2003 23:51

Alterego, really sorry to hear your news. Hope things work out for you - try and stay positive. My thoughts are with you. Good Luck. xx

juelgaz · 25/11/2003 09:34

Alterego,
My thoughts and hopes are with you, take care x

lazyeye · 25/11/2003 10:14

Alterego - all the very best. Let us know - I had m/c in June so know how desperate you can feel.
Lots of hugs.

Hi secur

congrats!! 4th - blimey - I thought I was bad with numero 3. What have you got already? I've got 2 boys aged 3 and 11.

I think I am due around the same time - 27th June, but not sure as only had one period since m/c in July so dates a bit all over. Reckon I am about 9 weeks

Feeling quite sick (though better today). Don't smoke, but good on you for cutting down. Keep it up.
Fear of m/c is ever present for me as have had 2 - but I just take a day at a time.

All the best and its good to have you on the thread.

Had my scan today - as I suspected, I have miscarried. Good news is that nature is taking its course well and probably no need for op, though I have to go back next week to be sure. I'm feeling quite calm about it - I've two lovely boys and it's been quite easy for me to get pregnant. It's not the end of the world and we'll be trying again in the spring.

But I'll be bowing out of this thread - good luck to all of you - hope it goes well and thanks for all your kind words.

alterego, sorry to hear your news. It's awfully sad when it happens, even with your 2 children. I m/ced a few weeks ago (would haven been due in June) and have a look here to see how everyone is doing. Maybe we'll see you on the ttc thread in a while. Look after yourself,
hana

alterego, sorry to hear your news.

I madea big desicion this morning told my DH that DD and I will be staying in the UK until I have had the baby (or if by 30 weeks everything is going good and get permission to fly may go out then). I made this desicion as due to problems with DD pregnancy feel safer staying in the UK and knowing the standard of care. We will be going to live with my mam for the duration. I know I have made the right choice as far as peice of mind goes but I am going to miss DH terribly and just wish that he was going to share the pregnancy with me if that makes sense.

Iam seeing the consultant on Tuesday so will discuss with him but as I told DH he can't say yes or no at this stage for the same things happening again.

Sorry to ramble on, just so confused and frustrated at the moment!!!.

Hope everyone is feeling well.
Take Cae K

Secur's suggestion to visit & then decide sounds like a good idea to me, too.

I got my scan date, I got my scan date!!! Was on the verge of booking one privately but the letter came this morning. And it's the only day next week when DH can come. Now though, I'll just be a nervous wreck about the results of nuchal fold, whether results are good or bad, and whether to go for the certainty of amnio regardless. I'm so worried about this pregnancy compared to the others. I know I'm being silly, really, but I've been prone to panic attacks this whole pregnancy. Is anyone else getting a 12-week scan appt.?

karen01 · 30/11/2003 11:46

Hi Secur, yes my mam is in Aldershot. I have been told that the military care is really good however if i have any complications out in Cyprus I would be sent to a Cypriot hospital where the SCBU unit is. My Aunty had to take someone to the hospital oin question in the summer and she was nearly crying due to the state of it, very unclean etc . That was one of the factors that helped DH and I make the decision we did.
Will keep you updated. I am wondering what the consultant has to say on Tuesday, and whether or not he will do a scan. Hope so!!! But not holding my breathe

What I really want, and I'm not supposed to say this, but here goes: is for the nuchal fold to come up with a "bad" result. Then I can have the amnio and not feel like it was an unjustified risk. Then, of course, I want the fetus to be perfectly healthy after all, and not to have a miscarriage, either. If only wishing for things was the same as making them reality.....

Karen01: somehow I feel happier about you staying in the UK, like you won't be so far away from the rest of us!

Which reminds me, why is this thread so quiet? I'm so excited (& apprehensive) about being pregnant. Doesn't anyone else want to blather on a bit?

lazyeye · 02/12/2003 11:00

Cavy - I've gone for the Nuchal scan as well, though I don't think my hubbie is too pleased. I'm doing it just on the basis of my age - 36. I thought long and hard, but I think I'd like to know. I already have 2 kids and I think I would have to be at least warned to be able to deal with something like this. Mine is on the 16th at the RVI in Newcastle.

I've already had 2 scans - an ealry one cos of previous m/cs and an early dating - at 9.5 last week. So, I should be now around 10.3 - can anyone work out my EDD for me.........? Can't work it out.......

Cavy · 02/12/2003 11:32

I reckon I'm 12+3 today, so you (Lazyeye) would be due 2 weeks after my guess EDD, or 26 June. (Boy, that was easy!!)

My husband would prefer us to go straight to amnio. If we do, I may pay to get it done privately, wherever seems to have the best m/c stats. Might cost a lot, but I reckon I owe the probably healthy fetus that much. I'm 36, too. Last year DH & I stayed a week with a close friend who has an adult Downs Syndrome son. Although I have always been open-minded before that we could "cope" if we had a similar child, staying with them, and talking to their other relatives who have tended to decide for invasive testing because they knew from their first-hand experience that they wouldn't want a Downs child, it totally changed me & DH's feelings about the matter. But it's a very very difficult decision; so much so that I almost decided to not try to have another baby just to avoid it.

I have found this with my 2 boys & maybe this one. Have had pretty bad sickness but this weekend it reached a complete peak - could not keep anything down. Today, I find it is dipping & have even been able to eat proper food.......I found with other 2 that it peaked & then started to decline........sort of a bloom before dying. Anyone else?

Cavy · 03/12/2003 11:00

I hate you Lazyeye (joke!?). I hate people who haven't had MS at all even more. Someone on the July03 thread is saying the same thing about MS should fall off after 7-8 weeks, never happens to me like that!! Mine is always at its very worst about now, 11-14 weeks. I read that HCG doubles every 2-3 days until 15 weeks. I guess it's the constant change in HCG that makes me so sick. Very Slowly gets better after that and I don't expect to possibly feel normal before 20 weeks. HCG is supposed to stabilise after 15 weeks. But look at poor Pie -- sick all the way through. This is the worst thing about pregnancy.

Best big is when the baby starts moving... I think I can find a little firm area in my lower belly now -- woohoo!!
