Welcome to July 2013 Babies

Hi all.. I posted yesterday but somehow has deleted lol - sorry Guest!! I found out yesterday that i am 7 weeks so due early July with my 2nd. Rather exicited to have only seen 1 heart beat yesterday as i dont know how i would have coped if there was 2 or more lol. I just started a FB group - are we all on FB? If so do you want to private message me and i will add you to it? Im very much of a newbie to all this so please bare with me :)

Ah Kashmir, 2nd pregnancy must be so much harder with a wee one to look after at the same time!

Just met my midwife, Dee from west auckland midwives, so lovely, I am going for a dating scan late next week as I had very irregular periods.
Quite excited, but also very nervous!

Hi KennyJ, Congrates!

I had a couple of pains and googled it and it seemed like it shouldnt be a big deal, but that could be a good reason to get in touch with a midwife, i dont think its ever really too early to find a midwife - esp if you would like to 'shop around' and check out a few different midwives.

Some days im super excited and positive and other days I'm really anxious! I've just been trying to tell myself that it is what it is and am trying not to think past Decemeber and the 12 week scan (although it is hard not to think about july and what it could be like!!)

Hi everyone! KennyJ, I think the earlier you get on to a midwife the better as you can always change, meet a few and have time on your side to decide :) Is anyone in this group in Wellington? That is fantastic Eeek that you have heard a heartbeat! I am where you are at, think 7 weeks tomorrow and going in tomorrow morning for a scan, as I went last Tuesday but was slightly too early as I was only 5.5 weeks. Like a lot of you I had extremely irregular (to the point of not existing!) periods so it was hard to tell how far along I was... very excited/nervous/apprehensive about tomorrows scan, cant wait though :) Kenny J I also got a lot of twinges and aches esp early on, from 4-5 weeks I had back and leg ache a lot but that has subsided,still the odd twinge and crampy feeling in tummy but hear that is completely normal...Kashmir that must be hard for you! Morning sickness alone is hard enough!, hope it subsides a bit for you, I was recommended peppermint tea to help today! Love to you all!

Good luck for your scan today Anna!! I am also in Wellington :)

When did morning sickness kick in for everyone? I havent properly sick yet but I think I am probably a couple of weeks behind everyone else. A part of me wants to start feeling really sick so everything will start feeling more real...

Hope you all have a great Friday. I am already counting down the hours and really looking forward to having a sleep in tomorrow morning!

KennyJ I feel the same way about morning sickness! I know once it started I would want it to stop but at the moment it's hard to believe its real!

Anna, when you went for you scan and it was only 5.5 weeks could they tell if everything was ok still?
I'm am going for what they think is my 7 week scan next week but if our guesstimation is off I might only be around 5 weeks, gah hate the thought of going and leaving not knowing anything more than before we went. although i am excited! Glad I get to have one before 12 weeks but also feeling very apprehensive.
Such a strange time, feel so excited yet so scared!

Mrs S, yup when I went in at 5.5 weeks the lady said: definately a pregnancy, i think i can detect a faint heartbeat but can't be too certain. And then today! she detected a heartbeat so I am very happy :) DP and I saw Babys flickering heart and all looks good she said. Officially 6 weeks and 4 days along so 3 days earlier than thought (more waiting haha). So due July 8th. KennyJ - do you have a midwife yet?
As for morning sickness that kicked in for me just before 6 weeks, feel like rubbish :( it is 'good' to have I guess to really 'know' that everything is doing its thing, but its so yuck to go through, I feel crap constantly, worse in evenings and first thing in the morning but my evening nausea is slowly moving earlier and earlier into the afternoon :s blaaa! Welcome cupcakekiwi! I don't think there is any chance that a positive preg. test is incorrect! you should do another one in the wknd :) curiosity would get the better of me! hehe. All the best x

Im not actually due in july im due in january but thought id congratulate everyone :)

I found out I was pregnant about a week ago. Will be my first child after 2.5 yrs of trying and fertility treatment. I'm 5 weeks ATM and due 17th July.
Haven't even thought about midwives just yet, still hoping its all real.... No symptoms to speak of but been having cramping and some slight bleeding, which fertility specialist assures me is normal, but can't help freaking out - anyone else with similar? Will feel a bit more relaxed once I get to see heartbeat on my 7 week scan. I would like to join private group please.

Hi HockeyChick and Miriamsusannah! welcome! We are all in the same boat! all trying for so long and now you are probably like I am and just can't BELIEVE it!!!!! I am 7 weeks on Monday and STILL can't believe it, even though I found out I was preg. at about 4.5 weeks. Feeling good today which is a change from yesterday. Nausea has hit me bad the past week, its awful! that is so so exciting Miriam that u may be having twins!! HoneyChick will be hoping and praying everything is ok for you! I am sure it will be :) I have read apparently some light bleeding/spotting effects about 40% of pregnant woman.
