November 2011 babies

How do I join this group? Do I just post on here? I just got a positive test this morning. Due date 14th Nov.

My Dr gave me a referral for a dating scan so I figured that was just what you do. Didn't give any particular reason why I need it. However, she also said its too early to find a MW but I'm going to sort one out anyway so I don't miss out! It's hard when you have no idea what is meant to happen and just have to go with the flow.
Starting to feel sick now but have to keep telling myself its a good thing!

Thanks squizzy - I am due around 6th Nov I think, although that's kind of guess work!! LMP was 30 Jan, but I'm sure I ov'd on 11/12 Feb. So am roughly 5 weeks and a couple of days I think??

Have just had my bloods done so can't wait to find out the results, don't like all of this not knowing!!!

I am the same, when I have the scan next Thurs I will either be 6wks or 10wks (well maybe about 9.5wks). You are unlikely to see a heartbeat yet before 6wks but you will see the sack etc

I am only have a dating scan with this pg as I am unsure of dates. With Jack and Ben I was certain about dates, waited for the 20wk with Jack but got a 12wk with Ben. This pg will just be next weeks scan and then the 20wk, don't want a nucal fold done

Dixie - completely ignore your GP and find a mw now, they all seem to book up really fast, especially in AKL. And if you want to have a look around you need time. My GP (retired now) was lovely when I was pg with Jack but out of touch with how things are re mws etc, and from other threads/posts I have seen many GPs seem out of touch with how busy mws are.

Not feeling sick at all which is strange for me. Feeling good the last few days as well. Last week I was hitting a wall at noon and shattered for the rest of the day, but that seems to have passed

Aw Katte, I really hope you don't get as sick as last time!

I haven't booked a MW yet but thats cos she is away so hoping she isnt booked up for November already! Will wait till she gets back in 5 or so days.

DH thinks that we should just wait till 12 weeks to have our first scan as then we have more of a chance in having a healthy baby there to stay rather than get an early scan at 7-8 weeks and then find out things go pear shaped after that. Im really not sure what I want as I don't want to get to 12 weeks and find out there's nothing there or had a missed m/c or something and I could have found out at 7-8 weeks. Really unsure what to do.... what would you guys do?

Hi everyone.

Thought it was about time i said something,

Number 2 due on 11.11.11.

Already have the MW I had for number 1 due to the pile of complications I had!

Looking forward to journeying with you all!

A relaxed and chilled out Mum goes a long way in producing a relaxed and chilled out bub, and that is definitely what you want! All the girls in my coffee group who stress about everything, have highly stressed kids. Honest!

This is very sage advice

Yep Kel. Due to my age I will do the new combined first trimester screening test which is the maternal serum screening blood test plus the 12 week scan.

yeah. nothing like a blood test to make your day lol usually done around 9-10 weeks. Welcome to pregnancy

Squizzy, I think you'll need a MW for after you have bubs? cause I'm pretty sure OB's dont look after you...(well mine didnt for #1!)
Just double check k?
