Hi blessed_mama!
I have had a couple of + HPT's now. Due on 8th November! Pretty exciting stuff, though I am being cautiously optimistic, as I had a chem pregnancy in November 2011. Hoping this one is a sticky one, and hoping the same for you & anyone else who joins us here!! -------------   |

I am excited, but trying to be sensible about it.
I have been HPTing like a crazy person, to see if that lovely second line is getting darker. (It is!) Will give it another week or so, then get in contact with a MW. How old are your other two spirals? My girl will be not quite two when this one arrives, another November bubs! Is a lovely time of year to have a newborn though. ------------- |

Congrats on your second! How old is your first child? I haven't rung a MW yet, will give it about another week and then pencil it in I think. Really hoping she will allow me a early scan. ------------- |

My DD will be 1 in less than a month!!! I still can't believe I've been a Mummy for a year!
I've been told that the Wellington Midwives get booked up so quickly that I'm going to call this afternoon or tomorrow. There's one that has been recommended loads of the thread on here so I'll try her first. I think I'm classed as high risk (diabetes type 1) and I had a c-section last time - someone told me that some midwives refuse previous c-section patients. It just seems very early to me to call. Back in the UK you see your doctor first (at 8 weeks!) then your midwife at about 12 weeks after your scan, then again at 16, 20, 32 and 36 weeks. The midwife in the UK is the one based in the doctor's surgery who listens to the heartbeat and does your blood pressure (but literally nothing else!) and then you get whoever is working in the hospital on the day you turn up to deliver! A definite learning experience for me!!!! |
Posted By: P&E'S Mum
Date Posted: 01 March 2012 at 12:26pm
|
Wow, that's a nice close age gap!
I have also heard that MW's refuse c-section patients. I also had one first time around due to a terrible labour (first timers, stop reading! ) and am hoping for an elective this time. Someone told me not to tell them straight away. Then they will have you on their books, and can't really refuse you after they have already accepted you. I think the reasoning is probably that they don't receive the complete "fee" if the birth end in a c-section.
I think anywhere in the country the good MW's get booked up very early, so it does pay to get in asap. So obviously you had your first in the UK? Wow, it sure is going to be different this time around! ------------- |

Date Posted: 01 March 2012 at 1:40pm

I know...it's really scary! The whole thing so far has been a learning experience. We don't know anyone here yet either so a support network is non-existent. We suspect that we'll have to pay for a flight for my Mum to come and babysit when I go in. Chances are that I'll be having the baby in October (38 weeks). This baby is already proving VERY expensive!
In an ideal world I'd like to have an elective as they'll induce at 38 or 39 weeks and I have a theory that inductions don't work if the baby isn't ready to make an appearance...this was my problem last time. THREE DAYS of induction - 1 pessary, stretch and sweep, 2nd pessary, drip and then a section! Not a nice experience and not one that I want to go through again...especially not when I'm so far from people that can help out when we come home. 
|
Posted By: P&E'S Mum
Date Posted: 01 March 2012 at 1:45pm
|
haha, it sounds about the same as mine.. but I wont scare any first timers! Is the induction at 38 weeks due to the diabetes?
I think with the electives, they are about a week early in NZ. Will be interesting, I may just slip into October actually, my daughter came a week early, so am not sure what they will do in my situation. I think you will find this forum to be an amazing support network (though obviously not as good as the IRL kind.) My Nov 2010 forum is amazing, and still going strong. I have met a heap of lovely people there, and hope to have the same in here too. ------------- |

Hey Girls,
Peytonsmum - You are my due date buddy!! Thats if they both arrive at the time, Ive heard generally if your having a normal birth that the first one is usually late. Im so exicted, our first baby!! As you have done this before, When is it to early to see a midwife? I have doc appointment monday and then i was going to get straight onto finding a midwife. Ekkkkk im so excited!! Feeling so knackered today though, pulled a sligh sicky and am working from home as just so tired, also feel slighly queasy and have a really sore back for some reason - That may not be related but who knows :) |

HaleyJJ, I think if you see your doctor first, then maybe start looking for a MW after that. Some MW's wont see you until about 9 weeks or so I think (unfortunately due to the high m/c rate) but it wont hurt to get in contact with one and get on their books. If you leave it too late, you can miss out on the good ones. Though in saying that, you would hope there are no "bad" midwifes. lol
I think a high percentage of first births go overdue, I was an exception, but I think they got my dates slightly out. My EDD was 18th November, I had thought approx the 15th, so I was closer than they were! ------------- |

| Thanks Peytonsmum - its all abit new doing this for the first time, its ncie to have a little bit of advice from people who have done it all before. Wow so you first one was born in November? So you'll have 2 novemember babies? how exciting!! So have you seen a doctor yet? Im 4 weeks today, so you must be as well? I think novemeber is a great time to have a wee baby, especially with it being christmas & such a family time of year. Its nice to be able to express yourself on these forums, Obviosuly to early for me to be telling people..but sometimes the excitment is all abit to much so nice to be able to express it! Hahaha. x |

I'm not sure about NZ yet but certainly at home the diabetes means that you get extra monitoring towards the end to check on the growth of bubba. I had scans at 32, 34 and 36 weeks - all were fine. They like to induce diabetics as there is a higher risk of still birth so they don't normally go over 39 weeks. I was meant to be induced at 39 weeks but got pre-eclampsia so it was brought forward a week - another thing that is a higher risk with diabetes. It's a bu*ger really but one of those things that we learn to live with and if you take care of yourself during pregnancy you're less likely to have any problems. I wouldn't change anything about my previous labour or pregnancy. I had an epidural and couldn't feel a thing for most of it!!!! So far this forum has been invaluable for lots of things so it's nice to know that friendships are formed through it too. |

I asked on another thread and it appears that a lot depends on where you live as midwives are in demand. I'm in Wellington and will be calling around soon - the good ones get snapped up quickly! I've been compiling a list of recommended ones (from a thread on here) so will be calling them first. The symptoms you have at the moment (backache, tiredness and nausea) are the joys of early pregnancy! Welcome to motherhood! Take it easy - your body is busy making a baby and it's tiring work! |

Hi Everyone!
So i got my BFP this morning... woo hoo!! This will be our 3rd baby, I have DS 4 1/2 and DD 20 months. So glad that DS will be at school by the time this one comes along. Congrats to everyone. It's so nice to be able to come on here and share the excitement, I haven't even told hubby yet (will when he gets home) Hi UK2NZMummy, I'm also from the UK, moved over here 3 years ago and I can tell you after having my son in the UK and then my Daughter here it was such an all round nicer experience for me here. I love that you have one midwife all the way through and you really get to know each other, I'm hoping I can get the same midwife this time round. Looking forward to getting to know you all =) ------------- Christie

| AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH.....the midwife (that was highly recommended on here) is fully booked already - I didn't even give her any details! Just November...how is that even possible if I'm due 6th November?! Her response was that there is a huge shortage in Wellington and wishing me luck! I feel like I need it now...I never thought she would be booked already! Crazy... |

It could also be that she is away etc.
But, yes some will only take so many cases on per month, and fill very quickly. (That is ridiculous though!) Welcome chills & congrats!! ------------- |

Hi all Soooooo excited to be joining this group!!!!! I am due with Number Two bubba on the 10th Nov. Just got my BFP yesterday, super-stoked! It was our first month trying, we are so lucky! Loving my due date: 10.11.12 tee hee!
My wee man is 2 in May, and will love being a big brother I'm sure! I'm feeling fine, not looking forward to weeks 7 - 17 when I was constantly nauseous last time round! I keep forgetting about the food rules, have to re-read them, I accidentally started licking the spoon when I made blueberry muffins this morn, whoops! Look forward to hanging out with y'all! Planning to ring my MW next week Tink ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

Morning Everyone,
Welcome and congrats to Mama Ninja and tinkabelle
Grrr I keep waking up super early (like 5/6 ish) my lower back has been aching loads and sleep past about 5am is very uncomfortable, early mornings are making me sooooo tired in the evenings. Oh well, I haven't felt nauseous yet so am still enjoying that. And looks like my midwife from last birth is available for this one...yay!! How is everyone feeling? Anybody got any appointments booked yet? ------------- Christie

Hi Girls,
Congratulations Mama ninja & Tinkabelle. How very exciting!! Im quite the same chills, Got quite a sore lower back and once it gets to about 6am im wide awake which is great for a work day but i would love abit of sleep in the weekends. However im not complaining as im sure it could be much worse. I have my doctors appointment today at 3.45pm - So excited!!!!! As this is my first baby its all new to me so im unsure what to expect. Cant wait though. xx |

Hope your docs appointment goes well HaleyJJ, I always find my first appointment SO exciting as it just seems to make things seem more official!!
I'm waiting for my mw to call back and am hoping to have an appointment in next couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to seeing her again as she was amazing in my DD's birth and I'm keen for a home birth this time round, which I know she is all for! I'm trying to make the most of these early wake ups, today I had 2 hours quiet time to myself before my little ones got up, I managed to get lots done and drank my coffee in peace!!

I have made contact with my MW. She has booked me in for an appointment on 2nd April.
Have a dilemma though, I realllllyy want to get a dating scan, to put my mind at ease & hopefully see a little HB flickering away. However, my MW didn't mention it, and by the time I have an appointment with her I will be 8 weeks+. I don't know weither to ring her and ask for a scan, or to go to my GP & get him to refer me. Welcome Tinkabelle! I will bring our list up to date. ------------- |

Had my doctors appointment today, which was good, I loved getting an instant dark line that was darker than the control on the pregnancy test! Then went to the medlab and ran into the midwife I had with my daughters, which was a crazy coincidence but awesome, so I booked in with her on the spot!
I'm having hcg testing every few days and an early ultrasound on the 12th (next monday) as I sadly lost my last little one at 7 weeks 6 days. I am being cautiously very hopeful, I really do feel different this time so I am praying for this baby! ------------- T (6) A (2) Our angel baby Sep 2011 http://lilypie.com">

I've missed loads of posts! Welcome to all the new peeps!
So I called lots of midwives last week and got nowhere! In desperation I've called Ministry of Health Mums2Be and have a list of midwives on it's way rather than trapsing through the internet. If the worst comes to the worst then the option is always there to have a different midwife for each session at the hospital. I'm still hoping it won't come to that. My appointment is with the doctor on Thursday - how do these appointments work? Do I need to take anything with me? |

Fingers crossed you can find a mw uk2nzmummy. I'm pretty sure you don't need to take anything to the docs appointment, from memory I just had another pregnancy test done and then he gave me some pamphlets and a list of midwife numbers to call.
I haven't booked a docs appointment this time and have just left a message for my mw instead. Do I need to book a docs appointment though? If I were you PeytonsMum I'd either call doctor or mw to get referred for an early scan, especially if it'll put your mind at ease. ------------- Christie

Hi Ladies,
Just finished with my doctors appointment, Really strange..I was expecting another test, but she didnt do one!!! She said your young, fit and healthy if all 3 say your pregnant you definately are..Although have to have blood tests thursday. So chills - I would book a doctors appointment your midwife will be able to help just as much as a doctor. However i did get a pamphlet on all things pregnancy which im excited to read. Hehehe. Because everything is fine with me i cant have my first scan untill 9 - 13 weeks, Along with another blood test.Seems like so far away..i want to be 9 weeks already, oh well 4 to wait :) Hope your all well |

Yay I have just booked in with my last mw, and have an appointment booked for next Tuesday!!!
Why is it with each baby you never get anymore confident (well for me anyway) This is my 3rd pregnancy and I am getting really paranoid about every twinge and pain I get. I usually get back pain but that has been getting a bit worse and I have had on and off cramping (which appears to be normal) And now I keep worrying that if we get anymore big aftershocks (we're in chch) the stress could be bad in early pregnancy......Man I am such a worrier!! Welcome guest, and good luck for your scan today ------------- Christie

Thanks for the link to get the ticker...little test here to see if mine has worked!
Congratulations to Brilee & B,E&Rsmum - our little group is growing! Completely off the subject but just found out that our stuff is going to be delivered on Thursday! We've been glamping for a month (and 2 months back in the UK before leaving!) so I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing my bed! I'm so tired at the moment - I had the same in my first pregnancy - so I'm in desperate need of my comfy bed! I've moved my doc appointment to first thing in the morning now (it was originally pm). I'm getting quite excited now but also, like some of you, worrying about the slightest twinge. I keep telling myself that it's really early days but I can't help looking at baby clothes for newborns!!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

From personal experience, this is an awesome time of the year to have a newborn! Don't have to worry about keeping the house warm enough etc etc. A word of advice, don't over do it on the NB clothes, they don't fit them for very long anyway, and my DD nearly lived in onesies for the first couple of months since you change them so often!
But yes, I have been browsing for clothes! ------------- |

Funnily enough, I didn't buy any newborn clothes for my DD. I only ever got 0-3 months (in the UK they start at preemie, newborn, 0-3m, 3-6m etc.). I do love looking though.....they're just so ikkle and small (which my DD was not when she was born!). I have so many recommended purchases for new Mummies though...I'll spare you for now though - there's plenty of time for that!!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yay for your furniture arriving UK2NZMummy. I remember when ours arrived it was like Christmas...such a luxury to sleep on a bed and east off a table!
I'm really excited about the time of year bubs will be born. My last was born in July and we were constantly wrapping her up and filling the house with heaters! Just think by next summer we'll have tiny babies!! Argh my MIL came over today with some baby clothes she'd bought, they're really sweet and it was a nice thought but it's just SO early. She's also been telling the world and his wife, one of them happens to me the MIL of someone I know, really hoping my news doesn't get out now, I've been really looking forward to surprising everyone after 1st scan. ------------- Christie

Oh exciting that some of you might get early scans! I let my MW know, and will contact her for an appt when I'm about 8/9 weeks. Til then, just going on as normal but popping the Blackmores Preg Gold and folic acid. Feeling very cruisy this time round. haven't looked at any baby clothes or anything! Doesn't seem real yet, lol!
Funny how others are waking really early, I've been waking bout 5am, very annoying when you have to work all day and could do with the extra hour's sleep! Sending sticky vibes to everyone!!! Welcome to the new ones, yay for Nov babies! So looking forward to having a Spring baby, last one was beginning of winter, hard work! ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

Hi ladies,
How are we all this morning? Just wanted to put it out there, Is it normal to feel like you have put on weight & are looking fatter? I feel so Huge & Bloated at the moment.Its horrible! I was 64kgs about 3 weeks ago - Now im 66kgs!!! Can this be becuase of the baby? It seems so early to be putting weight on. Im not having the best day today, Headaches, Feeling unwell, Tired and ontop of it feel HUGE! Hhaha - This is all so new to me! Hope your all taking it easy :) xx ------------- http://lilypie.com">

It's completely normal to feel bloated in the first trimester. I'm feeling exhausted today too - again this is completely normal. Your body is doing some massive work at the moment - listen to your body and take it easy - early night me thinks...
I hate to tell you but I put on a massive amount of weight with my first pregnancy...I literally ate cakes for two though so can only blame myself!!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Chills thats how I feel about every little twinge and pain, I am so sensitive to them. Its so hard to relax!
HaleyJJ I am the exact same, I am very small when I am not pregnant but as soon as I am, before I even get a positive test I start putting on weight, about 5 kg already, its annoying cos I dont look pregnant just that I have been eating a lot! I usually put on a good amount in the first trimester and then a lot less throughout the rest of my pregnancies. Weird cos I think most people are the other way around! ------------- T (6) A (2) Our angel baby Sep 2011 http://lilypie.com">

Hi girls
The scan went well showing the sack and my bloods are good too. We seem to be on track 😄 It's my bubbas birthday today so we took her to the zoo I'm lying on the couch stuffed now. Luckily she seems happy to go to bed early. I'm worried I'm going to miscarriage as Iv had bad luck before I guess it's normal to worry 😳 I hope all you girls are feeling ok ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi Girls,
I so agree about feeling heavy. I haven't actually weighed myself but I'm sure I've put on some kg's, I feel like such a chubsta!! So I haven't really had anymore cramps and have felt really good the past couple of days, so of course now I feel bad for feeling good. Crazy hey? But I suppose if i'm feeling sick then i feel pregnant right? I bet I won't be saying this next week when I'm sick as! And Yay I'm all booked in with my lsat MW and have my first appointment on Tuesday...can't wait! ------------- Christie

Totally know how u feel Chills, it's scary to not feel anything, but as soon as something does happen (esp morning sickness), u kick yourself for having not enjoyed that time u had without it. haha.
Well I had just started to lose weight when I found out I was pregnant.. I was 4kgs down in 2weeks.. I'm still gonna try stick with it, just eating healthy and going 4 walks, but I dunno how I will fare as the icecream cravings come on.. haha. I already had to have a piece of bread layered with Nutella to satisfy my chocolate craving yesterday. That's exciting people are having early scans. I'm going to request one as I have had a couple of miscarriages in the past. Will hopefully be exciting to see the little bean in there!! |

Hi ladies!
I still haven't worked up the nerve to ring my MW and request an early scan. No idea why I am being a chicken about it. lol I got my forms for my antenatal bloods in the mail today, so best get that done soon. Loving the comment on my ticker.. "heart begins to beat" Thought that was closer to 6-7 weeks though.
I think I put on around 10kgs with my DD, and lost it very quickly after that (mainly due to her being 9lb 6oz!) and also BFing helped. I wish I had stayed healthy though, as I put a lot of it back on again, so am hoping to lose a decent amount, and keep it off afterwards. Still getting the odd nauseous spell, normally when I have had a shower, or brushed my teeth etc. No actual vomiting yet, & I didn't get any 1st time around, so hopefully that will be the case again. I can handle feeling nauseous, just don't want to be hugging the toilet bowl! I am super-tired too, in bed by 8.30 most nights atm! This growing a baby business is hard work!
Right, there's my novel.. hope everyone is having a great day! ------------- |

Hi Ladies and congratulations to everyone due in Nov. Iv only just found this site but Iv read through the whole forum already so I could get to know everyone.
Im 27 hubby is 31 and this is our first due on Nov 3rd we are very excited but also a little scared this is our 3rd pregnancy. we have had 2x MC last year, one at 6 weeks and one at 11 (almost 12 weeks)so needless to say we are keeping this very quiet until we know we are safe and this lil one is sticking around. However already I feel different and more sure this time. Hope Im not wrong.
Am going to book first doctors appointment for monday which will be 6 weeks
Cant wait to get to know you all over the next 8 months. |

Congratulations & Welcome Jess&Bump, how exciting!!! Fingers crossed this bubba sticks around and you have a baby for christmas this year :)
Peytons mum -I cant believe your baby's hearts are beating this week, Seems crazy something so small has a beating heart, ekkkk All these milestones are so exciting!!I had my antental bloods yesterday should recieve the results today or tomorro, I had to ask the GP to get my HCG levels checked as i had no idea what they were like and i was nervous to ask, but glad i did!! You know it will put your mind at rest, So you should definately ring the MW, let me know how you get on. Feeling really sick today, Havent been sick yet though. I agree i can handle it..Would much prefer this feeling than to be hugging a toilet bowl. Your so right, This growing a baby business is hard work, but im sure its all soooo totally worth it at the end, Hope all you laides are resting!! xxx ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi everyone,
Welcome Jess&bump, hope this is a sticky baby for you. Had dating scan today and she put me between 5 and 6 weeks, she didn't give me an actual due date as such but should be beginning of Nov. I am surprised at how queazy I have been this early. I hope it doesn't get any worse, the only way to stop it is to eat something. I too feel I have put on weight, quite depressing really and I have been soooooo tired! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hello Ladies
How excited am I to find this forum and you group of lovely Mummies to be!! I am 5 weeks pregnant and also due in November. In a weird twist of fate, I was pregnant this exact same time last year but at 10 weeks suffered a miscarriage. I'm feeling really good about this one (feeling the nausea, back aches, tiredness, constant hunger and waking at 6am!) so fingers crossed! Have had my doctor's appointment, bloods done and booked in a midwife so now it's jus the waiting game! Spoke to my midwife last night and feel i've got a really good one . Because of my MC last year, she is going to send me for a scan at 7 weeks to make sure everything's ok. Huge relief because I really didn't know how I was going to wait a whole 5 weeks!
Sorry, novel stops now!! Hope you're all having a good week and I look forward to getting to know you all over the next 8 months

Just updated our list to include the newcomers!
Welcome! Jess&bump & Kay_elle, I wasn't sure what # baby you would want me to put down, I know some people count their miscarriages, so didn't want to assume. Very sorry, miscarriages are so awful. Also, Kay_elle, are you due the 9th? How is everyone feeling today? I am so super tired, & it doesn't help when DD decides 2.30am is a good time to party in her cot. *yawn* I am not a fan of CIO, but I sure was last night! lol ------------- |

Heres sending lots of sticky dust to you all Take care and lots of pregnancy fairies coming your way

I'm feeling completely normal, except the 5am wake-ups, and the bloat! I;m sure I look 3 months pregs already, feeling a bit self-conscious since I don't want my workmates to know till I'm over the 12 week mark, but I think my bloated belly is gonna give it away! ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

Hi PeytonsMum, we count this as our first baby thanks for asking.
What symptoms is evryone having? Im am so tired all the time, having the most vivid dreams and Im really struggling with food. Last 2x I was hungry all the time, this time not so bad but when I am hungry nothing appeals and I always feel sick after I eat Im trying to eat lots of small meals, and trying to make sure Im getting enough good stuff.

| I'm not having any symptoms at all? Maybe a little extra tired and having some vivid dreams, but that's it. No sickness yet. By this time in my last pregnancy I was throwing up every day? But they do say every time is different? |
