I have my first appt tonight at 7pm est. The doc will listen to the heartbeat and possibly do a pap. I really hope not though. The last 2 times I've had them at my 12 week check up I bled so bad when they swept my cervix. Reall not looking forward to it. I'm going to be her to leave me alone...hahaha.

Man, they don't do anything like that in the UK until they are checking your labor progress! No midwife or doctor checks you out or looks upstairs and pokes around! They try to leave you be as much as possible in terms of invasiveness... which I like so much.

Yikes can't believe I am 16 weeks pregnant! Almost halfway there!

Anyone else having issues with food tasting off? It seems half of what I eat tastes funny. Eggs taste especially funny and the other day my bowl of honey nut cheerios tasted like formeldahyde. What the heck??! I am used to this during early pregnancy but it's never last this long and for this many food items. It drives me crazy!

I've had that with my first two pregnancies but not this time thankfully, dh used to go crazy with me for asking him to check if the milk was ok all the time!

I'm really surprised they would do one during pregnancy, my GP refuses to do one until after the baby is born. Thankfully I had one last year anyway so I'm ok but I was due one during my last pregnancy and they said it wasn't recommended to do them when you were pregnant. xx

Spinning - fab they found the heartbeat! That is super early!
I heard my boys hb at around 12 weeks and they were both around 150 I think, I found the heartbeat for this one at 12 weeks but it was fairly quiet so not easy to get a reading. I checked it again this morning and it was reading about 156.

My midwife used to say she didn't believe in the heartbeat early on but later on in pregnancy it was a good indicator. Fingers crossed it is true for you though! xxx

I'm going to beg her not to do it. I hate those things, pregnant or not. At my nt scan the baby's heartbeat was 156.

Where i am from it is standard to get a pap and culture done at 12 weeks. So strange how it varies from place to place. I think a woman should have the right to choose if she wants one though.

I know this is going to make me sound paranoid an crazy, but I really need your thoughts.

The last 2 days I have been feeling lots of stretchy, pinchy, twinges in my uterus. No cramps or pain.
Now I know this is normal, but this is the worst I have had it. No discharge.

I had one last frer left and I used it this morning, fmu.
And it came up positive straight away, dark line BUT I looked at my last frer which I did about 4 weeks ago, and the test line on that was is darker then it is on today's one, plus the test line is darker then the control line on the previous frer, whereas on today's the test line is lighter then the control line.

Would this worry you? Am I right to be nervouse? Or am I being silly?

Pls help - with your honest opinions, going bonkers

I won't even let my husband up there, let alone someone doing a pap smear! Forget it! Haha!

I also had a pap smear AFTER my son was born last time. But I never got messed with during pregnancy. My first internal-anything was when I came to the birthing center and they checked how far I was dilated to see if I should stay or go home. Heh

[Rosie85]

Yup we get another pap after birth too at 6 weeks.

When is it that your hcg numbers start evening out/decreasing? Isn't there a point in pregnancy where that happens? I wouldn't worry, personally, but you could always get in touch with whom ever is providing your antenatal care if you're concerned!
