Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond #2

[bunnywabbit]

Thanks for the link bunny! I am exactly 5weeks today, will be 5w2d by the time of my first scan. I am incredibly nervous .

If you have the patience (and I know you do because you didn't POAS , than wait with your scan at least until 7weeks. That's what I would recommend.

That's what I was thinking. Still not a huge amount to see at 7 weeks, but at least bubba will have a heartbeat by then. It also depends on if and when they can slot me in for an appointment.

Things work quite differently in the UK than they do in Germany. In Germany you go to see your gyn and usually see them as well as the midwife all through your pregnancy. My gyn was very keen on doing scans in the beginning to confirm pregnancy, location, etc.

In the UK you usually register your pregnancy with your GP, but don't have your 1st appointment with the MW until around 8 weeks. The scan is usually done at the hospital at 12 weeks, my GP's surgery didn't even have the facility to scan.

Hopefully your GP will send your for an early reassurance scan, Bunny, but if not maybe a private early scan would be an option for you? We had an additional scan with Baby Bond with DS1 and found them very good.

Thanks GeCon, I'll certainly look into that if the GP isn't going to refer me to get an early scan (there's no scan equipment at my GP office either).

Ladies, I'm so sorry that I've been MIA for ages! I hope everyone's well.

I've been following when I can & know I said it on the longtermers thread, but I want to wish both of you Pumpkin & Bunnywabbit a huge CONGRATULATIONS on your BFPs!!!! What wonderful news!! I really can't wait to follow your journeys & hope so much that you both have little pink bundles nestled within.

It's been all go here since the beginning of the month. We finally got the keys to our new house on the 11th, but everyday since we've been there decorating & cleaning getting it ready for us to move in in a week or so. We're staying with my parents who only live 10 mins up the road. I haven't been doing the decorating but it's been non-stop for me getting wallpaper, paint etc! I can't believe that there's only 6 weeks until my due date. I really was worried that I'd go late & end up with another section, but it seems this one may have other ideas. I've been keeping really well except for restless legs most nights. However, over the last week my normally heavy discharge (for this pg) has been light-brown tinged on & off. As baby's moving very well I decided to just wait until Tuesday when I see the MW again. I've also been getting loads of BHs. He feels quite low in my pelvis & has been head down since 28 weeks. I've never gone into labour on my own before so I really hope all of this bodes well for me!!

I did have a fall the week before last too. I've been getting dizzy spells & as I walked in the road to get to the driver's door of our car in town I went over my ankle slightly & couldn't catch myself. I ended up hitting the road like a sack of spuds, grazing my knee & elbow but I managed to avoid landing on my bump. Thank goodness!! I know I've just been doing too much really.  Baby was fine after the fall - though I didn't get checked out - it was my pride that was damaged the most! I could've sat in the road & cried when an elderly gent came over to help. The boys were with my mum so thankfully I only had myself to worry about. My DH & parents were not at all happy when they found out about it!

On a side note, the nursery's been finished today & all the carpets in the bedrooms are being fitted tomorrow! Yay!

Charlee, it's strange to think that you have a date for meeting your sweet little baby! Very exciting! My due date according to scans is the 5th but I don't really agree. I think it should be the 12th. Why are they inducing you?

Huge congrats to you too Pixi!

I'm glad you're ok dreamofpink, that must have been a huge fright for you, pregnant or not! Have you had your dizzy spells checked? Thinking I would have cried if it were me. For right now for me, me main worry is getting through the winter without falling - I manage it every. single. year. Is hard enough normally just to get up, brush yourself off and carry on as if nothing happened. Wish I had the money to take the winter off work...

Hoping LO stays put for a few more weeks. I bet the nursery looks fantastic! Any chance of pictures?

Happy Birthday, Bunny. Hope you have a lovely day!

Happy birthday Bunny!!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy celebrating and spending your birthday being pregnant

[bunnywabbit]

Thanks girls. Went to the doctor this morning to get this ball rolling. She came to the same due date I had (she disagreed with my date last time), so 26 June is my date unless they decide otherwise at scan. Then out for a little walk and birthday breakfast.

Hoping you're all well. Exhausted today - got next to no sleep (2-2.5 hours) because of the storm last night. Thinking I'm going to have a post-brekkie nap

[GeCon]

Bunny, did your doctor say anything with regards to an early scan for you? Let me know when you are ready for me to put you on the list in the 1st post.

Post-brekkie nap sounds wonderful... *zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*
