ah, i think we are both as shy as each other. i have a male obstetcian and to shy to ask him about 'why not'
I wore a dress to appointment the other day and grabed the sheet,so he couldn't see my underwear, he seemed rather unfazed by it all. HOW am i going to be at the birth

Don't worry UKI...after seven months of ante-natal appointments and a couple of cervical sweeps, you won't care whos looking at your fandango!! It gets to the point where you drop your pants as soon as you get in an examination room. Imagine my docs surprise...I was only booked in with a sore throat !!

On the BD'ing front...(not sure what that's an acronym for, but I get the picture), my doc told me it shouldn't be a prob, but we abstained on the full act, just to be safe, until well after first trimester. Not that I actually felt like it anyway as I was so sick and tired till about 14 weeks.

Have fun whatever you do

This thread is very reassuring! I did a test yesterday which was positive - I'm in shock!! I m/c'd back in October and it was all quite dramatic with emergency surgery and blood transfusions following the discovery of a blighted ovum. I also m/c'd back in 2002 so this will be our third pg. DH saw the test first and when he showed me I burst into tears. We have been really careful as I wasn't ready to think about trying again for a while and I've taken on a new job which I love. In fact, we weren't sure if we wanted to try again at all! We've figured out we must have conceived on Boxing day when we were both very drunk!! (so I think I'm about 3 weeks?).

Anyway, we have decided not to tell a soul so you guys have to keep it a secret LOL! I'm surrounded by pg people which was really hard back in October - my DSIL, my cousin, my boss, my best friend... (you get the picture!). I've got my head around them having their babies and DSIL wants me there for her birth. Really looking forward to all of them having theirs. However, now, everything is topsy turvy. I'm trying not to think about it at all but I can't help it! I don't even feel pg this time - last time, I felt reassured by the symptoms but now I've got nothing to go on...

I can't decide if I want to see the GP and demand an early scan for reassurance or wait until at least 12 weeks then book in with the mw - I don't want to tempt anything! Both m/c's have been at 10 weeks. Keeping it a secret is going to be a task - I'm going to buy some folic acid tomorrow and pour them into an empty multivitamin pot so the kids don't suspect anything (DD is 8 and DS is 12). I feel guilty that I am panicking when I have two beautiful children already but this will hopefully be the first with my DH (been married nearly 5 years). He has been great btw.

Sorry to rant but I've got it all bottled up and it needs to come out somewhere!! I'm so tired which was what made me do the test.

Have really enjoyed reading all your posts of encouragement! Hope all is going well for you...

Hi everyone-so sorry I forgot to update on this thread as I seem to be on so many!!

Had my scan at 6 weeks and they saw a heartbeat!! My hormone levels are v high, at 5 weeks they were around 25,000 which is over double the norm.

Not twins, they now think what they thought was a second sac just looks like a bit of bleeding, maybe implantation.

Feeling and being sick xx

Hi Guys

It's fantastic to see so many family faces now back on this side and so am I. I had a positive result last Monday!.

I have kept off mumsnet for a while as I became obsessed and it made everything harder but I can't believe the one month that I was sure I wasn't pg and therefore drank I was!

I have a slight embarrassing question. I think I may have thrush. I have never had it before or I don't think I have, the only time I have had anything like this was during my last pg which ended in MC. What are the symptoms and can it cause a miscarriage in early pregnancy?

It's so great to see so many people are pregnant again.

EdieMcredie · 21/01/2007 17:30

The symptoms are itching and soreness and sometimes a different discharge although mine doesn't normally change when I get it. I have it loads but wierdly haven't had it since I have been pg.

It can make you irritable...

It certainly cannot casue a miscarriage, just makes you feel awful!!

You need a pessary-you can't use tablets

HTH xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nicki10 · 21/01/2007 17:37

Thanks Edie tha helps a lot I guess were all bound to worry more now.

Congrats on your BFP it's brilliant news and you firstar and Uki and everyone else.

I must be around the same stage as you Edie I am 5+2 today. I didn't even test until my period was 3 days overdue was just sure I wasn't. I guess it shows me how not worrying helps!.

I'm not really feeling sick yet but my boobs are really sore, can't sleep on my front!. What an excuse to buy new bras! xxx

EdieMcredie · 22/01/2007 08:26

Nicki-Im 6.3 today.

Feeling and being very sick, all the time. It's horrible. Lost some weight too as I just can't eat.

Lots of congrats newbies and Edie.....hang in there and remember there are lots of us here to talk to.
Sending lots of positive sticky vibes your way
DH bought me huge bunch of exotic blooms on Friday to say Happy Half Way...can't believe I've got this far. 20wk scan on Wed, so after that hopefully things will be worry free (well at least until labour-day approaches...yikes)

HI All
Welcome Purpleprincess. It sounds like your trying not to get to attatched too soon. I am the same I am scared stiff, till i get past 12 weeks.

Daisy, flowers how sweet, sounds like he'll be a dotting dad

Edie-great news about heartbeat, and probably will be alot less worrying now only one.

Firstar- i want a doppler, I tried to make an appointment this week at dr's to hear hb again, but booked out. Another agonizing wait till scan on monday. It was nice to hear from andi wasn't it, often thought what happened, she was such an active poster.

we've been boiling over here 42 degrees, and bushfires all around my mum's on weekend. I hope I didn't hurt the baby by being really worried, it was a bit scary for a while.

lissielou · 23/01/2007 07:24

got a bfp at docs!!!!!!
so edd is 1st of oct. so happy but vvvv scared. keep running to loo and am convinced something will go wrong. ho hum. got scan at 6w but all looking okish so far

morning

yes firstar, hot and a drought here, but lots of rain last night, yah so happy

quiet lately here, can't wait till I'm not anxious and have less to post about

Uki · 24/01/2007 10:28

wow just started raining again,

ah the sound of rain on a tin roof, can you tell I live in Oz.

Welcome lizzieloo, wow september makes me feel like an old bird almost, wihing you a happy and non eventful 8 months, in the best possible way.

Daisybump · 24/01/2007 13:46

Hello to Lissielou and congratulations.

UKI, where in Oz are you...sounds hot. We've had snow and sleet and very frosty slippy pavements for the last few days here. Not much fun when you are starting to wobble and teeter!!

Some inspiration for you all, I hope....had my 20 wk scan this morning and all appears well and normal. got lots of waves and there was some thumb sucking and somersaulting. The sonographer had to chase her around to do his measurements! Also pretty sure it's a pink one, so skipping for joy !!!! DS was with us and he laughed and seemed delighted, than started to cry, wouldn't hold my hand and went all stroppy, so the realisation is finally sinking in. I'll need to give him lots of tlc and attention.

Hang on in there ladies and think happy, positive, sticky thoughts

great news lissielou! wishing all of you in the early stages calm thoughts and good news from day to day.

Uki - 20 weeks - fantastic! DPs/DHs can have tough times, my DH is finding it all a bit weird right now - a very bumpy head from the baby butting him when he touches it, and me being extra dippy, confused, tired and short-fused. At least second time now, I know for a fact it all passes (whereas first time round, I thought my brain had gone for good ) Talking to a few men who are new dads, they seem to like Steve Biddulph books - might be a good tip? there's a nice Dorling Kindersley one I got from the library recently called "love, laughter and parenting" ... with a bit more info to the dads than the usual 'don't be pushy about sex your wife won't be in the mood' line that seems to be the stable in most pregnancy books as 'message to dads'...

have a good day all - I have DS's two little friends and their mummies (my big friends) over for lunch today, looking forward to company. the last few days have been tough, I have a horrendous cold which is stopping me breathing easily at night, but of course can't take a thing for it! but this is a good lesson in taking it easy. me and DS didn't get out of pyjamas yesterday..
