Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! 2

Sa-ra-ra-ra

To be honest (and I am the sort to throw my weight around!) I would put my foot down Rups32 - it's not your DH giving birth, it's you. So you need to be comfortable, and sod the cost of cabs or whatever, you need to feel safe in the environment in which you're going to be going through something which is both unknown, painful and potentially quite scary.

Having said that, I wanted a homebirth, but DH was really unhappy about the idea. So we've compromised on a midwife led unit attached to a 'proper' hospital.

And if you don't get your own way with DH - Mayday dealt with my miscarriage in September, and I have to say that they were really very good in the EPU, so you may have a nice surprise, I've also heard good things about their new MW led centre.

ah thanks for that sa-ra...i did email him and say that i hope he understands that want to be in a good hosp and he said he does, but he is worried about getting to one on time. we wuold have to cab it but i am sure it will be fine. ok. maybe i can wait then and just see... let me get my scan appoitntment and then can decide, as was reading in the reviews that you can change at any time, so i can stop panicking. hehe
i think i am 8 weeks today.

I forgot to put on my anti sickness band and been struggling all morning with urge to vomit. Hate people wafting smoke in my face when they walking down street.

Rups32

oh dont you hate that? i hate it at bus stops. sometimes DH tells me off for being so passionate about it but i say that its their choice but mine too to avoid them. grr

*deep breath* Hi ladies, please can I join you?

I tested yesterday and got a bfp, shocked but happy shocked I think.

It's really really early days for me, 4 weeks at the most, so I'm aware that it might not all work out ok.

I suppose I'm here because I know NOTHING about any of this. I know I need to take some folic acid etc, planning to pop to boots and buying some pregnancy vitamins this lunchtime- if anyone has any recommendations I'd be grateful.

I'm guessing it's too early for me to get in touch with the doctor?

Sorry- really don't know what I'm doing

Rups32

i am like you, i mean i have no idea what i am doing, but i did go to the GP as soon as i got my positive result, and then from there, they sort you out a midwife appointment. congrats by the way. i am nearly 8 weeks and still waiting for my first midwife appointment. so def go to the GP first! :0)

Get the cheapest you can get. All does the same job. Got mine in tescos £1.05 for 90. Tescos own brand. I have since swapped and use pregnacare only because of th sickness though and I am not eating properly. So I need to get additional vitamins etc in so its an all in 1 tab.

Oh I forgot to say congratulations lol. How rude of me ;-)

Re gp etc. I phone up at 5/6 weeks - saw gp at 7 weeks - midwife rang me to book the booking in appointment at 8 weeks (they dont like to see you much before this) and then I saw her a week later at 9 weeks.

11+2. 12 week scan a week tomorrow. So can't wait to get it over and done with.

Rups32

damn.. i wish i had got pregnacare now as was wondering about other vitamins.. the stupif gp just wrote me a presr form folic acid so iam stuck with those..:-(

does anyone else sometimes get so ravenous? today i want to just eat and eat! eek! i was supposed to go for a leg wax but my appointment is delayed to 1.30. so had two belvita biscuits to sort me out but i am still hungry..
