Due in Dec

Dont stress too much ur levels look great!

I have got icky lil pimple looking things springing up on my chest and back I remember those from Neosha lol.

Still dont care I can happily say I cant wait for morning sickness, its my only way to know everythings ok so bring it on I say

For all my pregnancies I've done the test, got the confirmation I was pregnant and then have waited till my 12 weeks scan. Haven't had an early scan or had bloods done.

Many seem to get bloods done and have earlier scans. Is that because it is recommended by the doctor or is it because its something you want to do to make sure everything is doing what it is suppose to do. Just curious (and wondering if I should be at least getting my bloods done).

I also agree that if you are going to MC then there probably is not a lot you can do about it.

Soooo stressful!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi and Congrat's

hi everyone,
I'm new to this all. Just had my pregnancy confirmed last week after nearly 2 yrs TTC. I have PCOS. Been down the clomiphene track and injectable hormones (gonal F and Ovidrel)and many emotional days, and am sooooooo happy to say after the second round I'm finally pg!! 5 weeks, I'm Due 18th Dec. Just wondering if anyone can help out with recommendations for a midwife in chch. There is such a choice, or maybe not given the time of year I'm due, I know that each person and their pregnancy is different but some advice would be fab!!
Congrats to all the others due in Dec, I look forward to chatting with you all!

Oh NO! Im so so so sorry Sh_az!

Sh_az, I'm sorry to hear that Hope to see you in the threads real soon

Leash, I contacted the Midwifery Resource Centre in ChCh and they were helpful. Give you a list of midwives who are available for your due date and send you info. I contacted them yesterday and got the info in the mail today :)

Oh Sh_az so sorry to hear of your loss am thinking of you. Take care & hope your back on the TTC wagon and in the preggy threads soon.

Mumof 6 - Maybe you should come back up here LOL all the midwives in both Wellsford & Warkworth are great!! I cant wait to see my midwife - shes away on hloiday till 24th but man she is going to get a shock esp as we were having a conversation along the lines of using her again when i get preggers and BAM!! here i am...( i didnt know at the time of our conversation but i actually was pregnant)

Hi DebsB
Thanks heaps for that, I will give them a try tomorrow. Seems like you only just get the good news and you have to be in like flynn to get a midwife! Thought I would have another few weeks up my sleeve yet.

I'm really sorry to hear about your miscarriage Shaz, take care.

Linda, in terms of the early bloods & scan at 8 weeks to get heartbeat, i'm having them becuase I'm pregnant after IVF so the clinic track me for the first 8 weeks to make sure everything is ok and then I get passed over to whoever I choose as my LMC. Once you get a heartbeat at 8 weeks you are 95% clear in terms of miscarriages so its just a reassurance.
A friend of mine recently had a missed miscarriage, she found out at 12 weeks that the baby had died at 6 weeks but she didn't miscarry so its also to prevent that happening.
