Hi mum2ollie, congratulations on expecting number 3! I am tentatively dipping my toe in here and am very excited to be doing so. I got my 2 lines on Saturday and a BT to confirm today. My HCG level is looking great so FX it is the start of good things to come. It looks like I will be due around 6th May so I'll stick with that until my first scan confirms anything different.
Here's to a happy and healthy 9 months to everyone who joins us in here  ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  TTC Since Oct 10 - PCOS Our beautiful girl sadly born sleeping April 2012 |

Hi MakeItWork! It's so nice to have someone else in here! I have been lurking around in the April thread but I just feel a bit out of place in there. Not sure if I'm due April 30th or May 1st, but it doesn't really matter as I will definitely be a May Mumma as my children have no desire to arrive on time haha. I'm so sorry about your wee girl, fingers crossed for smooth sailing for you. A bit about me, I'm Amy and I have two boys with my lovely partner. The eldest, Oliver who is three and Emmett who is almost 14 months. We now live in sunny Perth. I had a miscarriage before my youngest son so am pretty nervous at the moment! Sorry for the enormous post just pretty excited that there is another person in here haha -------------

He he don't worry M2O, that isn't a long post, I can really waffle on when I get going
I'm Amy as well so there's a nice coincidence for us to begin with! It's going to be nice to have someone with a bit of experience in here to help with all the (no doubt stupid) questions I'll have! It's not long till your first scan which is exciting, it will be here before you know it. FX for a nice smooth early pregnancy for you to prevent any unnecessary worrying. How have your other pregnancies been, do you suffer much with morning sickness or any other more unpleasant symptoms? I was pretty lucky last time round with not even a bit of nausea but I've said I'll happily take it this time if it means things are going well - I may live to regret that  I don't know when my first scan will be yet as I am waiting to hear back from the high risk clinic at Auckland Hospital. They will be looking after me throughout so I'm in their hands now!

Amy is a pretty top quality name :) My first pregnancy I was extremely sick up until sixteen weeks, but I honestly think I made things worse by not eating enough when I could. With my youngest I was only sick 3-4 times a week but it was pretty horrific. No MS here yet but I really hope I get it! Will make me feel like things are going right even though MS is no kind of indicator. We are originally from Tauranga and I had the same MW for both the boys so it's going to be a bit strange not to have her this time around! I'm just hanging out for the 7th so I can see a heartbeat. I can't let myself get over the top excited until I see that little heart beating away. -------------

hey all... just got my BFP today so thought i'd poke my head in. hasn't been confirmed by the doc yet but the lines were pretty strong so looks like it's all go. Think i'll be due around April 30 but I hate being at the end of a group and you girls sound lovely lol so I'll stick in here if that's okay? ------------- Anita Mum to Cian (Aug 08), Josh (Jun 10) http://lilypie.com">

Hi all,
Can I join in? Early days for me, just over 4 weeks know but got my BFP last Tuesday and have had my bloods etc done and confirmed. Very excited because it's our first BFP but worried about the possibility of MC and trying not to stress about it because there's nothing I can do - I get a bit better every day, I was sure I had made the whole thing up and wouldn't get to 14dpo :) feeling ok so far - a lot of dizziness and a bit of bloating and cramping. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Hello, can I join in too?
I got a bfp on Friday and had a blood test today to confirm. I'm having another blood test on Friday :). I'm very nervous and hoping for a sticky bubba after a mc in may this year. According to a due date calculator I'm due 9th May. ------------- TTC#2 Sept09 Lap/Dye Feb 11 - All Clear Clomid Oct 10, March 11, May 11 MC Aug 11 IVF to start June 2012 Natural BFP 2 April 2012 MC May 2012 Natural BFP 31 Aug 2012 |

Same due dates Bakingfairy!! thats pretty cool. The thought of MC is always in the back of your mind but as long as you look after yourself and eat well and take care of your bubba as best you can there isnt much else we can do ay. So happy for all you ladies, looking forward to getting to know you all a bit better in the next 8 months

Welcome and congratulations BakingFairy, Smurfette88 and curlysue. Soooo excited for you CS, I really hope this is your little miracle hun, you have had such a rough road to get here (I remember you from the Charting Girls )
S88, some people tend to think that higher levels of the pregnancy hormone HCG that your blood test checks means a chance of twins but everyone is different and some just naturally have higher levels. There is no real way to tell until your first scan
I hope everyone is feeling OK and not going too crazy before their first scans. I was really nervous last time round but for now I am pretty relaxed and just going with the flow. I doubt if I will be on the morning of my scan though It looks like I will be having it on 20th September, I'm just waiting for confirmation. I will be looked after by the high risk clinic at Auckland Hospital so everything will be done there. At least I know I'm in good hands ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> TTC Since Oct 10 - PCOS Our beautiful girl sadly born sleeping April 2012 |

that's awesoome MakeItWork - we were looking after by the fetal medicine unit at Auckland Hospital for Charlie and they were all fantastic! Kind of wish we could keep our OB for this bubba, but might just go up there for the 12 & 20wk scans.
Had my doc appt today - bloods should be back tomorrow so FX everything is okay! He was a bit concerned that it's so soon after my last pregnancy but oh well! Not much I can do about it now lol ------------- Anita Mum to Cian (Aug 08), Josh (Jun 10) http://lilypie.com">

hehe yeah i wasn't sure if i could do it or not but it worked yay!
We had Saul Snowise for our OB - he was sooo awesome, super understanding and didn't hold back any information like my (former)mw did. Plus he wasn't afraid to push the boundaries a little bit to make the situation easier for us, which just made such a big difference. will you just have heaps of extra monitoring this time round? Apparently since our situation was pretty rare this will just be treated like a normal pregnancy, unless the genetics tests come back positive. ------------- Anita Mum to Cian (Aug 08), Josh (Jun 10) http://lilypie.com">

It really makes a huge difference when you have good professionals helping out doesn't it! I'm not really sure exactly how the care will pan out this time but I'm pretty sure it will just be more regular scans and then I think we'll pretty much play it by ear and see how things go. I'm just looking forward to hopefully having some positive scans that we can enjoy as I reached the point where I dreaded them last time.
FX all your results are good along the way hun xx ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> TTC Since Oct 10 - PCOS Our beautiful girl sadly born sleeping April 2012 |

Hey MIW I recognised you from charting too :) so nice to see a familiar name. Sorry for your loss :(. Positive vibes going out to everyone for sticky may babies.
I'm not feeling as nervous this time round either so hoping that's a good sign. I know Ill be a wreck the day of our first scan but I'm trying not to think that far ahead. I don't know how to update the list do you copy and past into the thread and make the change? I don't think we will find out what we are having, we didn't with ds and it was great having a surprise. He was c-section delivery so I'll probably have elective with this one too so another surprise will be good. ------------- TTC#2 Sept09 Lap/Dye Feb 11 - All Clear Clomid Oct 10, March 11, May 11 MC Aug 11 IVF to start June 2012 Natural BFP 2 April 2012 MC May 2012 Natural BFP 31 Aug 2012 |

To update the list you click on quote (top right of the last list post) and then amend from there. You just need to remember to remove the quote brackets from the very start and end of the post it creates. If you have any trouble though I can just do it for you
I'm really glad to hear that you aren't too nervous hun, I'm sure it is a good sign and will help everything go perfectly for you this time. It's exciting that you are going to have another surprise, I like the idea but I'm too much of a control freak and want to be able to plan ahead as best I can

Welcome to new May Mummas to Be!
CurlySue it's awesome you aren't feeling nervous! I am just a bundle of nerves! I feel close to tears so often it's insane. Feels a bit stupid considering I've had just the one miscarriage and two normal pregnancies either side of it (I actually had a "friend" tell me I have no reason to worry because it's only one miscarriage not more) but I can't help but worry. I have a terrible head cold which admittedly is not very enjoyable, have also had wicked hip pain and lower back aches. Not fun things when running around after a 3 year old and a 1 year old. We have in the last week bought a new dining suite, coffee table x2 (ones smaller), buffet cabinet, entertainment unit, TV, Playstation 3 and Ipod dock so I think we can safely say thats our big spending over and done with until we need to start collecting things for Little Bean. We sold all our baby stuff before leaving NZ and my youngest is already in a toddler bed so will be getting this baby new stuff. It's such a nice change to be able to afford nice things than struggling to make ends meet like we were in NZ! MakeItWork- we will DEFINITELY be finding out the sex, like you I am a total control freak and must have everything ready in advance. Admittedly that's going to be hard this time round as we live in a three bedroom house and the boys have too much crap to share a room and we have NO room in our room to put bubs. Our lease doesn't run out until April 25th and being due May 1st that doesn't leave much time to get things done! At this stage bub will be in the hallway! Sorry for an epic long post haha -------------

I am pulling my hair out knowing I still have another 7 weeks before our first scan ggrrr, but am trying to be careful in the mean time to keep peanut safe and growing strong.
Question - Have any of you ladies had an interest in a specific king of birthing method? I have been looking into the "Gently Birth" method and I got the book a couple of days ago, some of its a bit daisy chain and hippy but alot of it makes sense and apparently there are antenatal classes you can go to that specifically study the gentle birth method <a href="http://lilypie.com/"><img src="http://lmtf.lilypie.com/VazFp12.png" width="400" height="80" border="0" alt="Lilypie Maternity tickers" /></a> |

Hi all, we aren't going to find out - might for later babies but the first can be a surprise. Will be going for a dating scan in a couple of weeks - will make it in my 7th week because I've heard the later you leave it the more confident you can be that if everything looks fine it actually is. Even if that's not true I'm happy enough to wait a while.
Feeling less symptoms this week or maybe I'm just a bit more chilled about it. Still really dizzy/spaced out tho. Still worried about MC but not thinking about being pregnant and not making any baby plans is helping! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Hey Angel congrats on your BFP! I have popped you on the list :) If you have any scan/MW apps feel free to add them in or I can do it for you :)
Smurfette- With my eldest I wanted a real natural drug free birth but he was 10 days overdue and I was in latent labour for 4 days so that plan went right out the window and I had every drug under the sun haha, with number 2 I yet again wanted drug free so made my midwife promise me she would lie her ass off if I asked for an Epidural. Tell me that there were no doctors around to give it etc etc, in the end it was too quick of a labour so I got my drug free delivery lol. This time round I'm not going to plan as such. In my opinion you can't really choose your labour and no one really knows how their body will respond to it. BakingFairy, How do you manage to not think about being pregnant!! Very envious of that haha Eeep! Friday is so close now, so so nervous! -------------

We are definitly finding out!!
Mum2Ollie - I know there is no way to plan for the birth you want because so many factors can change resulting in a different outcome, but I think its good to have something to base yourself on, I couldn't just go into it blind not having learnt anything, and I think the more prepared you are in as many aspects about birth as possible the more prepared you will be and in a better frame of mind if things have to suddenly change. I don't have an ideal birth in mind, my aim would only be to safely give birth to my baby, whatever that calls for. |

Welcom to the group angel and janey :).
Well it seems I have gone from calm to beside myself in th space of 1 1/2 days. I have my second bt tomorrow and I'm worried because although I have only had a wave of nausea on Monday and then Tuesday I have had nothing since :(. I don't have any other pregnacy symptoms. I'm trying not to freak out but know tomorrow I'll be a wreck waiting for the results argh. ------------- TTC#2 Sept09 Lap/Dye Feb 11 - All Clear Clomid Oct 10, March 11, May 11 MC Aug 11 IVF to start June 2012 Natural BFP 2 April 2012 MC May 2012 Natural BFP 31 Aug 2012 |

Welcome Angel and Janey! Sorry to hear you have lost your calm CS! I have everything crossed for a great BT result today, I'm sure it will be just fine Don't worry too much about the symptoms, I haven't really got any either, just the odd wave of nausea here and there but barely noticeable! Last time I had nothing at all!How is everyone else doing? Anyone been struck with the dreaded morning sickness yet?

Hello! I am very cautiously joining - only just 4 weeks here! I'm due May 18th, with baby #2! My son Quinn has just turned 2, and to be honest we did not think this would happen this quickly! It took us 2 years to get pregnant with him, and 3 months this time! Bit of a shock still. We had an early miscarriage (at 5 weeks) before DS, so also makes this a bit of a stressful time as well. Here's hoping to a happy and healthy 9 months for us all! ------------- http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/" rel="nofollow">

Thank you :) I am in West Auckland.

Hey ladies, Well I had my dating scan this morning. Thought I was about 6w3d but the scan is showing 5w2d. Our sonographer was a useless women, she barely spoke to us at all. Never once mentioned what she could see. I did see her put GS and YS up on the screen when she was measuring the bubble so I'm assuming Gestational Sac and maybe Yolk Sac? She said "Looks okay for 5 weeks, it's in the right place" and "You'll need another scan in 2-3 weeks so we can measure baby from crown to rump and get a heartbeat" literally that's all that was said to us. I don't know what to think. I told her I've had a miscarriage before and that I was worried we would have a bad outcome this time. I feel miserable. If I am only 5w2d then that means I got a +tve HPT at three weeks. Is that even possible? I've been tearing my hair out for the last week, dying to get to today so I can see the heart fluttering away so I can feel better but now I just feel horrible. I just want to shut myself up in my room and lock the world out. -------------

Does anyone know how to change tickers with the new OB setup?? I was told to wait 2-3 weeks to rescan so I think I'm going to wait three weeks. That way I'll be around eight weeks so chances are if the pregnancy is healthy then it'll stay that way. I'm just going to be climbing the walls with the waiting. -------------

Far out! Just about pulled my hair out trying to log in now the sites been updated!! All ok here, boobs getting bigger, a little sore some times but not too bad. Feeling a bit woozy at the moment, getting the feeling that's going to turn into MS. Meeting a couple of midwifes on Monday so looking forward to having that sorted :) Smurfette - yup I'm in AKL too - in Central Auckland. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Wow, that's terrible! A positive HPT at 3 weeks is rare, but not unheard of, I got mine at 3.5 weeks but it was faint. Can your midwife/dr send you for another scan soon? I've had some spotting today, so not sure if this bubs is hanging around or not. All positive thoughts for stickiness accepted! ------------- http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/" rel="nofollow">

Hi everyone. Just few questions: anyone else had bad period type pains ? Doc doesnt know what it is. Also any recom to stop dry reching/vomitting would be great. Thanks |

Peaches - hang in there! I hope the spotting is nothing. Kalika - what was your previous user name? Jane - What have you tried for the vomiting? Last time I threw up 5 times a day till 26 weeks, I got it down to 1-2 with medication from my GP. I wish I could remember the name, but it was a weird tablet you had to put between your gum and lip. ------------- http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/" rel="nofollow">

Hey, i'd love to join the group too, i'm due 8th May, still early days but I don't mind sharing my experience either way. Hope those that are spotting are going okay. How is everyone feeling? I just started feeling nausea yesterday quite badly and i've put on 3kgs already I can't stop eating! xx ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Will repost - Home test was positive on Friday evening and the due date calculator is saying May 12th next year. Still a bit shocked really and I can't get the whole idea out of my mind at the moment! Will be phoning the doctor for an appointment to confirm Monday morning :) Sounds like a fair bit of nausea happening, I haven't had any so far. I feel pretty tired but thats nothing unusual and I have had a pretty full on day. I have no idea what the next steps are! Doctor of course, then tell parents and in laws, then find a midwife? Scaaaary! |

Hi everyone :) Those who are spotting- Try not to panic! My best friend who is currently pregnant had spotting quite badly for weeks and weeks. She's currently doing great :) Kalika, Find a midwife first really, they book up insanely fast, especially if your in a main city :) Jane period type is pretty normal. usually you shouldn't worry unless the pain is really bad or is coupled with bleeding :) As for us, just found out a friend is 12 weeks pregnant. Feeling a bit envious that she has a healthy pregnancy and we're still waiting to find out if ours is even viable :( Welcome to all the newbies! If anyone wants me to update the list just shout out and I shall :) -------------

Hey Ladies, another member joining here! Tentative due date of 15th May based of my last AF date but hopefully will be having a dating scan in the next week or two (probably closer to the two ) Going to call MW tomorrow as from my last 2 pregnancy's I've had 2 MC and 2 small babies. Not sure if I'm supposed to be referred to the high risk clinic or not. This will (hopefully) be my 4th and final baby. I don't think I will be able ton relax until after the 12 weeks scan as I was 12 weeks last time when I had the MC. Looking forwards to getting to know you all. Too early for a FB page?? |

| Hi all, wow I feel better after reading all the posts on here about feeling nervous....I am 6 weeks and 4 days down with my first and really feel in the dark about alo of things. My GP was'nt very helpful was I supposed to get any information from her regarding what I can and cant eat? timeline for scan's, blood tests??? I have had one scan confirming I was 5 1/2 weeks, with yolk sack etc that is in the right place, and one set of blood tests which I am assuming everything is fine with as I have not heard back from GP?????? |

JaneyG, in my experience most (but not all) GP's know little other than the basics when it comes to pregnancy. You would be best to book yourself in with a MW (if you haven't already) and he/she will advise you about all of that stuff. AFM, I left a message with my old midwife today so hopefully I'll be getting a scan soon, maybe a week on Thursday when I should be nearly 7 weeks along. |

Hi all :) Just found out my best friend had a brilliant 12week scan. So happy for her! Can't think of anyone that deserves a baby more than her and her DH. Janey It's best to just get a midwife. GPs can be pretty bloody useless. AFM, Still feeling very pessimistic about how things are. Just feel pretty hopeless :'( -------------

such exciting stuff happening :) I'm still feeling pretty good, having today off (good thing about working from home) a bit tired, I had hideous morning sickness with my little miss but nothing as yet. So hopefully I won't get it this time...wishful thinking I know. Usually MW does bloods first and then if you need a dating scan will organise that for you JaneyG otherwise if you are sure of your dates then they usually wait til the 12 weeks nuchal scan :) I am going to start the search for a MW this week but I am petrified I had a really bad experience with my last MW and before then I was just going through my GP but I can't go through her now :( Not so sure about MW's at the moment. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

| I'm not exhausted but feel really anxious in my stomach, not so much like feeling sick but Canterbury ppl will know what I mean, its like earthquake dread. A friend of mine texted me this morning she went on a rafting trip on Wednesday and turns out they had a major accident, boat/raft overturned and stuck, lost half their stuff. 3 girls had to be air lifted out by helicopter and she's been treated for hypothermia. She's asked me to stay 2nite which i will but she's really intense at the best of times so its going to be an interesting night. |

Hey ladies. Had a doctors app today to go over my scan. She said everything looks perfectly fine for less than six weeks (yay) BUT I have low throid (mine is 8.5 should be a minimum of 9) which can cause miscarriages plus I have low iron and the beginnngs of thrush apparently. So that was great. Has anyone else had the low thyroid thing before??? -------------
