Hi ladies and congrats to you all. I hope I can join you here soon
Babynumberone, when I was UTD with DS I got period type cramps up until about 6 weeks (or it could have been slightly longer). My mw told me it was just my uterus stretching etc, so all fine. But if you're really worried defo see your mw.

babynumberone period cramps are totally normal, i had cramps until i was 8 weeks pregnant (when i tested and found out I was preg) i didn't test before then because i was so sure AF was coming
I think you will have to organise you own midwife, the midwives at the hospital are lovely xx

Hi everyone :) I am expecting baby #3 on nov 5th which also happens to be DH's birthday. This baby was not in 'the plan' but I am very excited but also very scared as I get really bad hyperemesis. I am actually in the second year of my midwifery degree so this is going to be an interesting year for me I have my midwife sorted as i am trying for a vaginal birth after two caesareans so wanted someone who I knew was happy and had the ability to facilitate that.
If anyone reads this who knows me i would really appreciate it if you keep this news to yourself for awhile. Would just like to get a week or two further dwon the track and still have some important peopke to tell first. Thanks!!!

Babysurprise - It must be a scary time for you. Either contact your midwife or GP to get a blood test to test your HCG levels which will be able to say if your pregnant. Hope your staying!
Sticky vibes to everyone!

Knock Knock ...may I come in?
We're five weeks pregnant due 8-Nov-11 (having TTC for over three years) so we're on quite a buzz about it :-)
Fresh off the boat in New Zealand from the UK...with hubby who is the resident kiwi with a big fat smile on his face now that he's home :-) So this mum-to-be will be seeking a lot of advice and steer as I navigate my way around a first pregnancy in a new country!

I was going to wait a little longer but I may as well as Hi. I am 4w3d pg with #3! EDD 10 Nov We have told the parents, my brothers and their other halves and 1 of our friends. It is pretty early to be telling lots of people I suppose but then DH is shocking at keeping baby news a secret and his workmates will all know by smoko on Monday!
This time we told my parents with a tshirt I have printed this morning, it says "2+1=middle child". We told them about Ben by Jack wearing a cap that said "Big Brother". We told them about Jack with bibs that said "That's it I am going to Grandmas/Grandads"
Feeling pretty good at the moment although I hit a wall at around lunchtime and feel shattered and it takes me a good few hours to get going again.
Contacted my mw yesterday, lucky I did as she is on holiday now until the end of March, then she is on holiday for the month before my due date! But I really want her again so I will just keep my legs crossed and hope this baby is late. Got a dating scan booked for a few weeks time though as I am not 100% confident in my dates
Babysurprise have you used the same brand tests each time? Done the tests first thing in the morning? A friend warned me off a cheaper test that our local chemist sells, she said even when she was 6mths pg it still came up as BFN. Good luck

Hello All!!
Very excited to be here. 4 weeks pregnant with my first. DH required 3 HPT's before he was a true believer, but we're both super happy. I have my first appt with my GP on Monday and really looking forward to finding out what's next.
I too am having cramping and yes, it freaks me out too! I'm happy to see everyone's confidence that this is normal. And why shouldn't it be? My uterus is GROWING! YAY!
BTW it took us 3 months to conceive. I'm curious how other people did...

Umm with my first I didnt even get a post pill period, with this one it only took a oncer with no contraception Really feel for those who do have a tough time falling pregnant but does make it so exciting when you do!
To annoy you guys even more I didnt get any pregnancy symptoms with my first except for eating a lot lol. I dont get the ms, sore boobs, tiredness etc does make it hard to believe I am pregnant though. This pregnancy could be entirely different, but no symptoms whats so ever yet.
