thanks, I wasn't really upset I hope that doesn't sound heartless but I never did expect more than one so the fact one was there and healthy I was happy with that, two would have been lovely but hard, hard work. I do feel a little sense of loss but I am more excited that baby is healthy, hopefully all will continue to go well until he/she is here

I don't think that sounds heartless at all. I totally understand where you are coming from. Congratulations Con1888 on the lovely scan picture.

AFM I have someone coming over to give me a quote for rising damp and a dentist appointment Hate going to the dentist. Its for the final session of a root canal that I started before I knew I was pregnant. At least its being done before I have a big bump weighing down on me, esp as the last session took over an hour :eek:

Hi everyone - room for another?

Can't believe I'm actually posting on here, but we had our BFP yesterday!

I think from looking online you calculate weeks along from the first day of your last period? Mine was 16 August so by my calculations I'm 4 weeks and 5 days. Very early I know and already my mind is completely buzzing with lots to think (/worry) about!

I have a dull ache (like milder period cramps) at the moment both on my front and lower back intermittently - is that normal? No other signs yet.

Will call my GP in a bit and see what they say the next steps are.

Looking forward to sharing the journey with you all.

VickyVics - I had a dental appointment yesterday that was a killer, I had a tooth removed and now I look like a chipmunk and can't quite use my mouth properly yet at all!

becsxxx - welcome always room for another!

I have my scan this afternoon! So taking a half day from work and my manager will just tell the boss I have a hospital appointment if he asks (unlikely as he'll be at another regional office this afternoon).
I am planning on telling him either tomorrow or Friday - I think I just need to get it out of the way now and get everything in writing. It's that or wait until next Wednesday which is pay day hahaha!

Hi Becsxxx

Congratulations!
Nice to see you over from the TTC thread

I do keep getting this twinge low down at the front so hoping everything is ok

Thanks Claire - actually went to the drs a few days ago for antibiotics for cystitis - obv didn't know then! How far along are you now?

Chelseablue - it'll be great to have someone at the same stage! It's all super exciting but really scary at the moment.

:) By my dates Im due 24th May.
Im guessing you'd be 23rd May??

Im scared to death about everything at the moment! Doesnt help that I watched a programme about midwifes last night and one woman giving birth sounded like she was in agony :eek:

The morning I found out I rang my Dr's. When they found out Id moved out of their postcode area they said they couldnt help me with anything!

Cue mini meltdown while I sorted out a new GP, went to fill out the forms yesterday and have a new patient health check tomorrow.

Going to casually slip it in that Im pregnant

I am indeed due 23 May - 'citing! (and terrifying - I saw that TV programme was on and turned over - got enough to worry about at the moment!!!)

so just called my GPs and it all seemed a bit odd. they said, "nothing happens until 9 weeks" but they pass my details on to the midwifery team (and gave me a number so I can call that team if I have any questions) but basically that was it.

is this normal???!

chelseablue

Sounds the same as round here.
When I spoke to the drs on the phone they said the first midwife appointment is at 9 weeks

Plus when I'm 6 weeks I have to ring the hospital and arrange my own scan

It seems to be different in everyone's area. I had to make a GP appointment to be referred to the midwives but other ladies on here can self refer to the midwives.

I had my first MW appointment at 7 weeks and just got the letter yesterday giving me a date for the 12 week scan. There are only 2 hospitals near here that offer maternity services and they are really busy all year round.

When my daughter was born I was chatting to one of the MW's and she said that they used to have peaks and troughs 9 months after Christmas and the summer holidays :rotfl: but now they're bursting at the seams all year round! I do know that at least one birthing centre nearby had closed so I assume they had to pick up pieces
