Hi all, ive been browsing this thread for a couple of days. But wanted to talk to ppl :-)

I found out that I was pregnant last week (not planned and 1st) and im roughly 5 and a half weeks now. I had my drs appt last night and felt underwhelmed. I was only in there 2 mins, she didn't check my sample that I brought it, she didnt give me my edd, she didnt tell me things that I should stay away from other than she asked me if I drank or smoke (which I dont). She then said that I should book in for a midwife appt in 3-4wks. I kinda was expecting more support I think seen as ive never had a child before...

My partner knows and ive told my mom n dad but they dont want me to say anything or talk about it much just incase things go wrong - which I can understand but its making me feel that I cant be excited about it :-(

I know it sounds like a rant but I need to get things off my chest and hear other ppls experiences I suppose!

Welcome and congratulations

Sorry the doctor was underwhelming but it is fairly typical and I'm sure your parents are very excited, they just worry

evening all.... hope everyone is well. had my midwife app today she is lovely and the student midwife she had with her was lovely too..... the midwife said there is no reason why i can't have another natural birth ... was so worried after GP's telling me i would have to have a section due to my condition .. obv things could change but fingers crossed all will be ok and a natural birth will go ahead ... im being referred to the consultant led team so will see a consultant team, GP and midwife during this pregnancy ... the referral is so they can keep a closer eye on baby as my son was born with a birth defect and had an operation at 5/ 6 months old .. he is fine now but the midwife said they will probably do extra scans etc ... so we can try and find out as much as possible and weather this baby has it too so its not so much of a shock when baby is born if it does (hope that makes sense),,, as long as baby is ok i dont care how many extra app's i have to have i just want to get through this pregnancy with as healthy a baby as possible holding him or her in my arms and that im as healthy as can be xx


hope everyone is well hugs to all that need/want one xx

I am in a similar position my DD was born with a defect so will have extra scans etc. I am really worried I really want a healthy baby

Samtoby - Congrats again. Glad to see you crossing over from the other thread. I am still poas (internet cheapies) everyday and my lines seems to have reached the point where they won't get any darker but I started with a faint line at 13dpo and they have gradually darkened over the last week.

My OH has been like Tigger for the last week, boucing around desperate to tell everyone, today he has told everyone (including his family & friends in Holland) via Facebook so now I am really hoping and praying that everything works out for us.

Only my partner knows at present. He was pleased to see a stronger line on the test today. I have another one left still.
I can only imagine after your journey how excited you both are xx

OWIU - I'm so sorry. I hope you get some more answers next week. I really hate it when people post sad news. I find it so upsetting Look after yourself xxx

Liz - As everyone else said, what you experienced with the doctor is very normal. Pregnancy is just a big waiting game. If you feel unsure of anything, have a look on the NHS website or in some pregnancy books as they are usually quite good. People on here will also be able to help. Many of us have had children before and equally, there are women who are in their first pregnancy.

I'm on promethazine because I was dehydrated, but to be honest it's not been amazing - it takes the edge off if I can keep it down but makes me incredibly drowsy and I still feel sicky... I'm going back tomorrow to change meds, presuming I don't end up on the antenatal ward with an IV tonight which is looking like a distinct possibility (passed 24 hours without keeping down any fluids now ). I'm soooo hoping this eases soon... Sorry I couldn't give you more positive news, this is why I've been very quiet lately although I've been lurking like a fiend Just feel like such a moany cow whinging about sickness with some of the truly sad news on here recently.

Big hugs to everyone, hope you're all enjoying the sunshine.
