Ok - we are all pregnant - so what happens next - i have just been told and am only 5 weeks - who do you see first and when can you have your first scan?
Ok heres what ive had so far - i think all areas are different:-
6 weeks - confirmed with doc 8 weeks - app with nurse and doc to fill in forms for midwife and check all ok and confirm EDD 10 weeks - 1st app with midwife and blood tests for HIV, iron levels etc 12 weeks - 1st scan and app with scan midwife - blood tests for downs syndrome (results were back within a week) 16 weeks - app with midwife - heard heartbeat (altho not all mw's do this at this stage) 21 weeks - 2nd and final scan - app with midwife - heard heartbeat again Next app at 25/26 weeks and then monthly until about 30 weeks or thereafter where they become fortnightly.
Hello and welcome, im new to, only confirmed last week by doctor, iv got my date with midwife on 26th nov, so i guess everything will be explained to me then, it seems soo long to wait ! Hope your feeling well? so far no symptoms for me exept sore boobs and hungry every 1/2 hrs, hope it stays like this
Hi summer, I have resorted to wearing my sports bra, and my boobs do feel better,more supported, i think mine have grown already,prob just my imagination but if they have they will be MASSIVE HOOTERS in no time So sorry u feel sicky after eating, i drink peppermint tea after my meals, it really helps, it is an aquired taste but i do now really enjoy it and so far iv had nothing like sicky feelings just a really strange watering mouth all the time,which is weird coz before i found out i was preg, my mouth was really dry all the time. i think we have alot to learn yet haha !
Oh thats lovely, Im still in shock to b honest,i havent quite got my head round the fact that im pregnant neva mind that there will b a baby here !! Guess it will feel right soon enought tho ) stay in touch, it will be nice to to have a buddie due the same time, im always available for a chat, take care x
M&K and Summer76 - try getting a big maternity or underwired bra to wear at night. My doc advised this at 8 weeks and ive worn it eversince. It helped me sleep better cos everytime i turned over i was in agony!! Doc also said its better if you are bigger busted like me as it can stop them sagging so much after the birth.
