mrsapple - Speak to your docs receptionist tomorrow. Different practices have different processes. For my docs I had to provide a sample to prove pregnancy before I could make an appointment with a midwife. Some require you to see the doc before the midwife some will book you straight in with the midwife. You should have a booking in appointment with your midwife, where she will take all your details and the medical history for both you and your partner - I found it useful to have OH with me for this as I wouldn't have been able to answer for his side of the family. You should then be referred for your first scan at 12 weeks! Don't expect your GP/MW etc to be enthusiasticabout your preg - they usually don't seem bothered.

ok i will give them a ring ... i am so worried that something will go wrong. very silly but there you go. I feel like crying all the time (no reason), i am feeling sick (have been for the past few days) and have an almighty headache. Hubby is just very excited.
Thanks for advice - no wonder i was confused.

Oh ye Gods, I ache!!

Work on the fence has stopped due to fatigue from all sides. Will be finished next Sunday along with the back one.

I'm just having a cuppa (and an Aero and a KitKat Chunky :whistle:) then think I'm going to have a Radox bath to perk me up for an evening of sorting, moving and packing - what fun!

Hope everyone else has had a relaxing day xx Congrats on finishing all your flooring searching

I think you have just signed yourself up for 9 months of worrying but usually the worrying eases after the first scan and again when all you can feel is bubs hmmering you from the inside I can really help with the sickness issues, but when I was feeling queezy at the beginning I found eating helped

i must admit i am hungry but feeling sick but hubby just keeps asking if i am alright then grinning. He wants to tell his mum but i said lets wait.

Thanks for the info!

My concern at the moment is my complete lack of ability to completely stop smoking.
I know i'll be hated/flamed/cursed for admitting it but i've been smoking the occassional cigarette still, to curb the cravings. I think once i've spoken to GP and confirmed the pregnancy it'll hit home more though and kick me into actually quitting altogether.
When i was pregnant with DS (6) i was still smoking 3 - 4 a day which i'm obviously not proud of but i was homeless and my partner had walked out on me so i felt it helped my stress at the time :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I've done 20 mins on the cross trainer today in my bid to get fit/lose some flab, although i'm not really dieting but am more conscious of eating that 2nd packet of crisps

I dont know what to make of most of your post ......You want to go on the cross trainer to "lose some flab" why you are pregnant? And because you are pregnant you are more conscious of your weight and eating that 2nd packet of crisp?

Please correct me if im wrong-but that sounds so wrong to me.

BeenieCat, is this any use to you? http://smokefree.nhs.uk/smoking-and-pregnancy/ Free DVD to order, phonelines and factsheets (I've never smoked so I wouldn't know - it's just something we have leaflets about at work).

I'm sorry, i know it sounded v.wrong!! It's not that i'm trying to lose weight, just more like not put too much on as i did with DS!!

I had planned to lose weight before discovering i was pg so i bought a cross trainer from my sister, and i've just started using it to try and get fit - i was a size 8 when i fell pg with DS 6 years ago and had a perfect pregnancy, now i'm a 14 and hoping my extra weight (on my small frame) won't make me ache and hurt more!!

I loved being pregnant with DS and i didn't care about the weight i put on, i just loved feeling pregnant, and the same will go for this one but i don't want to feel too frumpy to embrace my bump the way i should!(when it comes:D)

So no, it's not because i'm pg but i want to feel healthier in general, the flab part was more meant by putting on more flab, i just said it wrong.
