Oooh an April Fools day baby
I have been feeling ok at this stage. Had lots of cramping last week but not so much now and the odd bit of nausea. I had a really good pregnancy last time so I'm hoping this will be the same! I have been feeling tired at certain points in the day but think thats more related to the early morning starts thanks to my DS. Is going to be interesting been pregnant and dealing with a toddler! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Oh yay,i was wondering if there was a thread.
Im due 2nd April,this is number 3 for me. I have a 13.5yr old and 7yr old-both girls,so hoping for a boy this time,but really doesnt matter. I single parented my other 2 from pregnancy,so this is all very different for me. Dont really have much symptoms,only metalic taste in mouth and sore boobs-both ive had since i O'd. |

Just to let you know I went for my docs appointment this morning. She sent me for a blood test for HCG levels but says I could be due anytime from 21st March to5th April and won't know until we get bloods back! It's because my cycle is so long as last few it has been 40 days. So I think I am more likely to be April but might have to join March thread too. Am I bit worried that it will be more difficult to get a midwife if all of March is booked up! I'll know more when I get my HCG results. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

| Very excited and nervous - this is number one for us! Still seems a little unreal! I previously had a miscarriage at 5 weeks about 3 months ago and was SO ILL for about two weeks prior (did not realise why, i got my period and everything) finally took a test and then miscarried two days later. THIS time I feel like a normal slightly more tired me - with incredible enhanced sense of smell! I have attempted to eat a few things and had to chuck them out because they me a bit queasy... Very hopeful this is a good sign! Have a good feeling about it. |

welcome simsim! Yep I'm in the same boat too, first for me :) Got my HCG results from yesterday - 300 :) And i'm having another test tomorrow to make sure they are rising nicely. I'm finding it so hard to keep it to myself, even though i know its for the best... DH was so sweet this morning, as I was leaving he goes "be good to my baby today" Made me go all warm and fuzzy! ------------- [url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/]

Awww im all teary reading your posts hun! (damn hormones!) Its such a special time when you are pregnant with your first baby!.
Well I had my bloods done today, and have a scan referral which I wil do next week (dating scan) meeting my MW on Friday which is very exciting! I havent really got any symptoms as of yet, just getting really tired after lunch (but that could also be cos of running around after a toddler!)felling a bit icky in the mornings but nothing major yet (fx) Should we make up a due date list so we can keep track of whos due when?

Congrats to all the new expectant mums. It will be exciting to watch the list grow. I have been feeling pretty good the last few days, I don't even really feel pregnant which always makes me worry. Is it normal for your doc to take a blood test when you first go to them after finding out you are pregnant? I went to my doc last week and she didn't offer me one and I don't think I had a blood test when I first found out I was pregnant with DS.

Daydream - I thought I had better book in with her asap as there is only one independant MW here so if shes booked I have to go with hospital mw's and they dont attend the birth :( SO im very glad I got in - hopefully this birth will be a whole new experience. I have the initial consult with her on Friday which is about an hour and filling out paperwork questions etc.
Naysgirl they shouldve done bloods, they need to do all the tests incl hiv, levels of vit D, hcg etc. Perhaps phone them? or your MW and see what she says. Id definately push to get the bloods done cos if you need any extra anything they can suss out a top up. Exciting! |

I was going to attempt to make up a nice April list for us but I'm not sure I know how. Anyone else know how to do that?
It was kind of random when I went to the doc, she was almost like "why are you here, you've done the test at home that said you were pregnant so you don't need to see me and just asked if I was taking folic acid etc. Will check with my MW when she rings me. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Good idea LuvnLife, I'm not sure how to make a proper list but i'll add my details to yours...
LuvnLife - #2 - 1st April - Wants a surprise Hun - #1 - 11th April - can't wait to meet my baby! hmm, when are you meant to book midwives etc? I have no idea! And this is a bit of a stupid question i'm sure, but if you get a private midwife do you have to pay them or are they still funded? ------------- [url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/]

I would book a midwife as soon as you can as some do tend to book up fast plus gives you a chance to make sure you get someone that you like. Unless you go through an obstetrician (sp?), then midwives are funded (correct me if I am wrong anyone?) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

just got off the phone with the nurse she was lovely HCG results were 480 so she reckons I am only 4 1/2 to 5 weeks which may put me later into April but I'll stick with what I've got at the moment until I get a scan in the future. woo hoo seems more real now! Just shows you charting can work if you have long cycles. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Hi everyone,
I feel a bit like you Nays,a little confused over whats normal even though this is my 3rd. When i went to the docs she said the same re folic acid etc,and i had to ask if i needed to take asprin daily like i did for my others-she didnt know.She sent me for bloods only cos when i tried to pee on the test there i couldnt.When they phoned the next day to say 'yes your definately pregnant' they didnt even tell me the HCG level, i had to ask...and she was all like 'oh i dont know,ill have to go check'. And thats all-no talk of more bloods being taken,or dating scan or anything. I cant even phone a midwife as im not allowed an independant-have to wait now to see if i get a letter in the post for a referal from the hosp-feel a bit lost really. |

oh Keira  doesn't sound like your doc is up to much! I must admit mine didn't mention anything about follow up bloods or dating scans either, it was the nurse who had more information. Do they have a nurses station you could phone about your bloods instead?
Am so glad I have you guys to talk to about this news! keeping it quiet is so tough! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

List looks great :D
Where do you get the neat little ends to your posts? With the countdowns and stuff? I dont think dating scans are a normal procedure, I just need one because I was breastfeeding up til a month ago so I havent had a proper period since sept 2009! Lol. I am pretty positive on my due date because I know when I ovd but because im not a doctor they dont trust my judgement.. Haha. Hun, book your MW asap - they can book up fast in some places. Ask around other mums in your area and see who they reccommend :D MW's are free but OBs can cost around $2800 + Eeeeeek! Keira why arent you allowed an independant MW? If you dont mind me asking. I think as long as your pregnancy is healthy all you have done are; Initial bloods Nucheal scan at 12 Weeks Glucose test at ?? Weeks Anatomy Scan at 20 Weeks Usually follow up bloods are only needed if your hcg levels dont correspond with your EDD, Dating scans are done if your unsure of your due date, have long cycles or dont have regular periods etc. I could be wrong though so dont quote me on that! |

Hi Luvn,
I have a heridatory condition called factor 5 leiden,it means im more prone to blood clots than other people.With my 1st child,i was sent the hosp at 5mths preggy and basically told facts and figures of women with the same condition out of 96 pregnancies only 5 ended with live births-theres a big risk of clots on placenta causing miscarriage/still birth etc. And so im supposedly meant to be more monitered during pregnancy and alot afterwards when clotting is more at risk. My experience with my other 2 babies meant i wasnt seen by anyone until 26wks,and with my last baby after a c-section i was discharged with 90 needles and told to inject myself in the stomach for 6wks,and then i wasnt seen again till 3mths after birth.As i have successfly had 2 live births with no probs they told me then i wouldnt have to be under hosp care if i went onto have more babies-however no independant middy will touch me due to the above *sigh* Sorry for the long journal lol |

oh gosh Keira - that really sucks that no one seems to want to know. i've heard of that condition, i think a lot of ladies with it take low dose aspirin? I think it would be worth taking it even if your doc said not to bother, you know its not going to do any harm so better to be safe than sorry? ------------- [url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/]

Yeah the condition wasnt found until 1995 i dont think its extremely common and alot of women dont know they even have it.I think i had the test after a long period of prolonged bleeding,that was back in 1996, and was told id have to take asprin daily from age of 40.All my family had to be tested as well and we found it came from my dads side who had died of a sudden heart attack in '95 without even knowing he had the condition-go figure.
It just annoys me that i meant to be monitered more than most yet,it ends up being put on a hosp waiting list and waiting to be seen by anyone for weeks |

Thats a lot to deal with Keira and it sucks that you get pretty much left on your own to handle it. You would think that they would monitor you as much as possible, sure would make things more reassuring for you.
Can't remember who was asking about the ticker things, if you see a ticker that you like of someones, you can click on it and it should take you to another page where you can set one up. Lilypie is one the ticker pages, thats where I got my ones from. Also in the forum guidelines, there is a part that explains it for you. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Morning ladies,
I got my ticker bar from fertility friend but you can also get them from lilypie and tickerfactory. I think if you click on someones ticker it should take you to the webpage to set one up. Oh Keira, it sounds like you've had a time of it! I can understand your frustration I would be expecting much more to be done by now for you. How's everyone feeling today? ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Hey guys,
Keira that must be pretty freaky for you, but really positive that you have already had previous healthy pregnancies. I am highly terrified of needles so imo you are so brave having to inject yourself! Wow. I hope you get to see someone soon, if it were me id be ringing and hassling every day so they get sick of you and rush you through :D I am SO exhausted, all the time! After lunch all I want to do is sleep, I suppose it doesnt help having a nutty toddler to run around after and then full time study on top of that.. I just dont know how I am going to cope with two kids! Anyone else really tired yet? Got my bloods back today, hcg levels were 3152 at what im guessing is 5weeks exactly, theyre good but alot lower than DS but nothing to worry about :D How is everyone else? |

Evening everyone,
Well what a busy day, took the car for a warrant and 2 new tyres later...hmm Then i went to work and popped into a store that i thought wouldnt take me very long-i was there 6hrs!!!! Oh im a sales rep for a toy company-if no one can understand what im talking about lol.So i didnt get to eat till 5pm arghh! Not really any symptoms either, remember feeling really tired and sick with my others tho. Yes i will keep trying midwives-im determined i dont want to be under the hosp system this time.As when you are you basically just get anyone whose on at the time when you give birth also.My first baby was a 23hr labour on New Years Eve of all times-and i had 4 different middys takeover during that time. |

good luck for you BT results Hun! I phoned midwife today but no one answered so I just left a message. Have a docs appointment on Monday so will ask if I get second BT then. Have a little tiny tiny amount of brown spotting (sorry if TMI), so am hoping it's nothing to worry about but will mention it to doc on Monday. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Hope theres no spotting today DD.
Well i phoned a maternity unit the other day that although they said none of their middys would probably take me on,they would give me an appointment anyway just to discuss and then refer me on.So ive just got the appointment date in the mail which is 5th Sept-i will be 10wks by then.I dont know whether to be happy i actually have an appointment date or annoyed that its so far away and i will probably still come away from that appointment not knowing who my LMC is going to be. Im hoping they can at least refer me for the combined screening scan-although if their not going to be my LMC i dont know if they can? |

Hi Hun,
Good news on the second set of bloods! you've booked your scan already aghhh! I feel like I haven't done anything! Did you book that with the midwife or through the docs? I haven't heard back from the midwife I left a message with yesterday- should I phone again or leave it for a bit? She could just be delivering babies! The spotting went last night but still a little bit this morning. I searched online and it could mean nothing or the start of something so I'm just going to try not to worry about it! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Fingers crossed DD that the spotting isnt anything to worry about.
Exciting about the scan Hun, not too long to wait. I was speaking to my MW yesterday and she offered me a dating scan which I said not to as Im pretty certaing of my dates. But then when I got off the phone I thought that maybe I should have taken it as then would have got to see that everything was ok but oh well. Time will tell. I have been feeling pretty good, apart from been really tired! I'm finding it hard to get much achieved during the day. I have been having 1 normal coffee at breakfast and then decaf afte that, but I am missing my extra coffee hit! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi All,
A good excuse for not drinking is "wanting to get over being sick" I used that when I was pregnant with my first..."yeah I'm not drinking tonight, I've just had a really bad flu and want to keep up my immunity", my boozy friends bought it the first time I used it anyway LOL I found that midwives dont usually want to see you this early on in pregnancy so you probably don't have to rush around trying to get one (unless you have someone specific in mind already) at this stage ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Aww cute about DH Hun.
Yeah im finding the not drinking thing differcult too.I usually drink a bottle of bubbling on a weekend,and last weekend i found myself pouring sparkling pink grapejuice into a wine bottle so my 13yr old didnt suspect-lol. Well ive done a bit of internet googling today on my condition just to see if i could read anywhere about women with the same that didnt have to be monitered by the hospital....well wish i hadnt now as i read most women are given heprin injections in early pregnancy.See if im supposed to be getting this then i havent been told-arghhh! |

I guess with it being the first one I just don't know how everything works! But midwife was recommended by by doc which is why am trying to get her! I don't want to seem pushy if I ring again!
Yeah its quite tough as I am usually glass of wine on the weekend no matter what kind of person! ha ha no one will believe me. Will have to say was out the night before! Keira- hilarious about the pink grape juice that sounds quite nice actually. As we all know googling is the worst (and sometimes best) thing you can do! can you make an appointment with a different doctor maybe and talk to them about what happens next? or can you get in touch with your OB from last time? ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Hi Ladies,
I am VERY cautiously joining this thread! I still can't believe it! I have been a member on here for almost 5 years and never been able to post in any "Due In' threads! DH & I have been TTC for 5 years and undergone two rounds of IVF. First one failed & second one.... Well here we are....We are currently 4 weeks & 4 days. I am soooo terrified of miscarriage or getting too excited but I can't help but feel amazing and elated that we finally got a BFP!
Had my first HCG test on Wednesday and that came back at 378. I have my second on Wednesday the 10th and then if everything is ok, we will book in for a scan. Hope you don't mind me joining you. Congratulations to all you other ladies!

That;s wonderful news Parki! especially when you have waited so long! FX for lots of HCG rises! I am going for my second BT on Monday so hope next week is good for us all. It's such an exciting time you must be over the moon!I know what you mean about trying to contain the excitement which is why I'm not telling anyone yet but it's so hard not to!
The list is starting to look good ladies! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Ooooh welcome to our new members - sending you both loads of sticky dust!
Had my first mw appt today and it went great, besides the fact DS was being a little menace! My middy is awesome and really lovely, I am so lucky to have her as she is the only independant mw in my town and only takes on two ladies per month! So glad I called her when I did :D Yay Harry for 5 weeks! 5w5d today, counting down to my scan in 11 more sleeps! Yipee :D -------------
Being a mummy is the most amazing job in the world! Luvn life right now :D I love my monster boy! You give me the best cuddles in the world! |

I remember the excitement of getting pregnant with your first! You guys will cherish this time for ever!
Second time round im excited but not elated like I was before, im trying to picture how im going to fit a newborn into my life and its pretty scary! Dont get me wrong this baby is very much wanted and planned but im just worried that I might not have enough love for another bub, DS is my life and I just dont know how another baby is going to fit in! Silly hormones making me worry over whats probably nothing! -------------

Hi everyone,
Well feeling a litte nauceous today. Know what you mean im really scared of telling anyone this time around.Both of my last pregnancies were unplanned,and with the 1st one i got sick of people telling me how sorry they were :(...wasnt as bad with the 2nd but my grandma cried she was so upset :( I just want to have 1 pregnancy that people can say congrats...and i have to get round that mindset. |

Luvn-its very normal to feel like you do with your second baby.I never did,but had friends who did.I guess as mine were like 7yrs apart i had plenty of time lol.
But you do have enough love,and the love for the child you have now doesnt change-not ever,so dont be scared of that. Im laughing though as i type this as its just hit me, i dont have ANY baby things left....held onto them for 13yrs,and just last year threw everything into a jumbo skipbin.So it means buying everything again *sigh* |

Hi ladies Congrats to all you April mums to be!! I got my BFP this week and am due on April 13. This will be my first baby and DH and I are super excited. Can't wait to tell EVERYONE but I know we have to wait! I feel like the next few weeks are going to go soooo slowly. My symptoms have really only just started in the last few days - have been super tired, headachey and have had no appetite. It's such a weird feeling to finally be pregnant. I have to keep reminding myself that yes I actually pregnant - it's not just a dream ------------- http://preg.fertilityfriend.com/pages/34ea88">

Hi everyone. Congrats to you all! Found out on Monday we were unexpectedly expecting number 6! Due on 9th April. Keeping it quiet at the moment as it is still so early, so it is nice to be able to announce it on here I agree, this week has gone very very slowly.
DH and i have been married 20yrs. Our children are 19, 11, 8, 3 and 1, so things are pretty busy already! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi everyone
I'm an IVF graduate like Parki, although me and DH have been extremely lucky and got a BFP on our first round. Also a little scared to join this thread with it being so early, but in saying that we have actually told quite a few people (the people that knew we were doing IVF). Nothing could be worse that our BFP not going well, not even having to tell people, so we have decided to celebrate and enjoy this time. It has been the loveliest time too! Good luck to everyone. We have our next blood test on Monday for HCG levels and I guess our 7 weeks scan a couple of weeks after that. Haven't contacted any professionals yet as we get early care from the fertility clinic, but I understand we probably need to get onto a waiting list for a MW soon. |

Just added myself to the list
Welcome to the newbies! I've really been struggling to stay awake over the last few days - the fatigue has hit me hard! Otherwise feeling good I've just been trying to decide how much longer I can continue to play netball and do weight training. Any thoughts on this? I want to maintain my fitness but I don't want to overdo it. What are the rest of you doing for exercise?------------- http://preg.fertilityfriend.com/pages/34ea88">

hey Blue Moon - I'm trying to walk for an hour a day, will do some cycling again soon - but at the moment I'm too scared! Will be swimming, and start antenatal yoga at 14 weeks... or that's my plan anyway!
Maybe talk to your doc about how much/what you can still be doing and how long for? ------------- [url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/]

Same as some of you others - already getting the stretching sort of pains....monster appetite! Not feeling sick....very tired though.... |

Hey Ladies and welcome to more newcomers! I've still got spotting so trying not to panic. Going to the docs for a blood test tomorrow so am hoping the results will give me hope. It's difficult as trying to not to over-react but at the same time not get my hopes up too much either. Trying to tidy any old junk out of the house now to give us more space for new arrival. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Welcome to the newcomers, the list is growing nicely :)
Blue Moon- I play indoor netball once a week and will continue to play until the end of our season which is around September I think. Also do an exercise class for mums called Wheelie Fit mums which involves jogging, lunges etc. I plan on doing that until I get too uncomfortable and will then move down a class that is less intensity. The personl trainer who takes that said that as long as I make sure I do the exercises correctly, don't get too hot and not push myself to much, I will be fine. I think that if you are already doing the exercise, you should be ok but not to start something new, like decide to start runnning. But talk to your MW or doc. I will also aim to get some good walks in during the week, aiming for an hour each. We have two dogs so its a good excuse to get out for some exercise. Hope everyone is having a nice relaxing weekend ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi Daydream, I'm sure your spotting will be nothing to worry about. Apparently it's quite common and normal in early pregnancy. Hard not to worry though I know! Hopefully your mind will be set at ease tomorrow.
Naysgirl and Hun that's reassuring to hear I'm not the only one carrying on as usual! My DH seems to think I should be wrapped up in cotton wool now. Cute but annoying! ------------- http://preg.fertilityfriend.com/pages/34ea88">

Yay! Hi to all the new Mama to Bes
Hope everyone is feeling happy & well. I am so tired today it's ridiculous, I have had three naps and I'm still yawning! For those of you who have had HCG bloods, how far apart were your blood tests? Also, is it alright to eat frankfurters that were bought today & refrigerated and will be boiled? So many questions! First timer!

Thanks Blue moon- had a bit of a cry- hormones! FX!
Parki- I had just bought frankfurters and I wasn't sure. I'm sure if they are cooked it must be ok, but I googled it and it said you shouldn't eat them so i've just been feeding the to DH! I thought just in case! Will be interesting to hear what other peoples thoughts are as I have another whole packet in the fridge! Also to answer you HCG bloods question my 2nd test will be a week from the first one but lots of people have had them closer than that. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">
