Due Dec 2014?

Hi, its very early days but looks like im due 5th Dec 2014. Very happy and hoping for a very sticky baby :D Anyone else due December 2014?

Im also due early December :) Still very early but looking good so far!

Very early days for me 2! Also, "due" 5 December 2014. Is my first child. Nervously, playing the "I hope it sticks" game too. 2nd round of bloods for me today.

Thank you!

It's a very exciting time but in saying that I'm trying to not get too excited in case I'm disappointed. But so far so good :-)

I had a a doctors appointment on Friday just gone for something unrelated and decided to mention the possibility I might be pregnant, I was only a couple of days late on my cycle, which is very unusual, so he suggested getting bloods because of their sensitivity to even the slightest increaseing HCG levels. Apparently the first round of bloods is just a base reading, so I went back today for bloods to see if they have increased and also for HIV screening which is routine for pregnancies apparently. So, yea I'm hoping my HCG levels have or are increasing! Fingers crossed!

Understandable, I am naturally a bit of a pessimist so I thought it was best just to get it done. You could suggest it to your doc just to get peace of mind?

I'm glad I stumbled across this forum, I'm desperate to tell everyone but know it would be a bit premature to do so, it's not to be able to share with others who are going through the same thing. It's a strange feeling, it feels a bit surreal!

I am keen to join in here, I'm only 11 dpo but got a clear positive test this morning, bloods on Friday to confirm. This will be our second child, DD is 2 this month. Exciting but still so early for me, all going to plan I'd be due on 11 Dec!

*blood test was today, so will have results tomorrow

Hi, also due on 5th December in Auckland.
Was a bit concerned that i was given a form for blood tests without any explanation as to why i was being tested for HIV. Do pregnant women not get given the usual questions associated with HIV tests such as are you/have you ever been a drug user, taken part in unsafe sexual practices, multiple partners without condoms etc?
I am rather unhappy about it tbh.
Anyone else think its a bit wierd or are you totally happy to be placed in the same catergory as drug users and prostitutes?

Ah I had a blood test just before we started TTC to check everything was ok. We conceived so fast that it was only a month ago so that's probably why they didn't bother with another one.

HIV certainly isn't restricted to prostitutes and drug users. It is prevalent in all social classes among all types of people and it is a real misconception that it only affects small subsets of the community. I'm quite impressed that they've taken the initiative to screen for it, hopefully this can help break down some of the stigma attached to it and save lives in the process. I do know how you feel though as I was a little offended when my doctor wanted to test me for chlamydia as I knew there was absolutely no way I had it. I figured it would do no harm though and I'd just be proven right!

Hi TigBrady, no i wasnt even asked i was just handed a slip and it wasnt until i got home that i got a shock and did some research. I might not have minded as much if there had been some dialogue with me as to whether i minded or not and i also cant work out how screening pregnant women is going to give an accurate account of HIV amongst other groups who arent drug users, had blood transfusions, engaged in risky sexual practices or have a closet gay husband who pops out at night to visit his 'friends' on K-Road. lol.
Surely it would be better to find out the history of the person and insist that your partner also is tested. I am not sure about this in NZ but in parts of Europe if you have had an HIV test, even if you are negative, your life insurance policies sky rocket.
It was good that you were asked though, which surgery do you use?

I didn't have a problem with the HIV testing as I knew it was routine and a good opportunity for screening, plus if youre having bloods drawn anyway then I figure whats the harm in another tube being taken.

I was given a form for dating scan and told to wait another 1-2weeks. I didn't have a dating scan with #1 so interested in how many weeks you all were when you had dating scans. Im eager to get in asap and see that everything is going well but don't want to be disappointed by going too early... Plus we have high incidence of fraternal twins in our family so keen to rule this out too hehe
