Ah Kashmir, 2nd pregnancy must be so much harder with a wee one to look after at the same time!
Just met my midwife, Dee from west auckland midwives, so lovely, I am going for a dating scan late next week as I had very irregular periods. Quite excited, but also very nervous!

Hi ladies... I found out earlier in the week that I am preg with #1. I am having a dating scan in a couple of weeks as I have mild PCOS and irregular cycles but I think I am 5 weeks tomorrow (so due around 19th July). It is a HUGE suprise that it happened so quickly - my doc actually didnt believe me when I went to see her! - but at the moment all I am feeling is freaked out that something bad is going to happen... I have been feeling a bit nauseous (like a mild hangover) for a couple of days and I am really thirsty. I have also been having mild twinge like pains really low on my right side of my stomach (but not all the time). Is it normal to be having pains this early? Is anyone else freaking out or is it just me? Also, should I be ringing around midwives now or waiting until I have had my dating scan? Any help would be muchly appreciated as I have got no idea what I am supposed to be feeling or doing... Thanks!

Hi KennyJ, Congrates!
I had a couple of pains and googled it and it seemed like it shouldnt be a big deal, but that could be a good reason to get in touch with a midwife, i dont think its ever really too early to find a midwife - esp if you would like to 'shop around' and check out a few different midwives.
Some days im super excited and positive and other days I'm really anxious! I've just been trying to tell myself that it is what it is and am trying not to think past Decemeber and the 12 week scan (although it is hard not to think about july and what it could be like!!)

Thanks Mrs S... I am also trying to take every day as it comes and think positive thoughts - its really hard to not think about what might be happening next July though!
At this stage I think my 12 week scan will be early Jan which seems like an eternity away! Hopefully having an early scan will ease my worry a little bit.
I think I will do some midwive research tonight and maybe ring around a couple tomorrow. Did you meet up with more than one midwive to make your decision?

Hi everyone! KennyJ, I think the earlier you get on to a midwife the better as you can always change, meet a few and have time on your side to decide :) Is anyone in this group in Wellington? That is fantastic Eeek that you have heard a heartbeat! I am where you are at, think 7 weeks tomorrow and going in tomorrow morning for a scan, as I went last Tuesday but was slightly too early as I was only 5.5 weeks. Like a lot of you I had extremely irregular (to the point of not existing!) periods so it was hard to tell how far along I was... very excited/nervous/apprehensive about tomorrows scan, cant wait though :) Kenny J I also got a lot of twinges and aches esp early on, from 4-5 weeks I had back and leg ache a lot but that has subsided,still the odd twinge and crampy feeling in tummy but hear that is completely normal...Kashmir that must be hard for you! Morning sickness alone is hard enough!, hope it subsides a bit for you, I was recommended peppermint tea to help today! Love to you all!

It was nice Anna.. Only saw heart beat - haven't heard it yet. Cant wait for 12 weeks as "it" will look like a real lil person :) I havent had the best day today.. Very low in energy and didnt feel like any food - poor Mr 12 months had a rather boring day lol. Such a sore back - all i wanted was a bath so when hubby got home i was straight in :)As you can see im quite new to OHBaby .. if you are wanting to join a FB group pm me or kashmir_b and we will add you :) xx

Good luck for your scan today Anna!! I am also in Wellington :)
When did morning sickness kick in for everyone? I havent properly sick yet but I think I am probably a couple of weeks behind everyone else. A part of me wants to start feeling really sick so everything will start feeling more real...
Hope you all have a great Friday. I am already counting down the hours and really looking forward to having a sleep in tomorrow morning!
xx

KennyJ I feel the same way about morning sickness! I know once it started I would want it to stop but at the moment it's hard to believe its real!
Anna, when you went for you scan and it was only 5.5 weeks could they tell if everything was ok still? I'm am going for what they think is my 7 week scan next week but if our guesstimation is off I might only be around 5 weeks, gah hate the thought of going and leaving not knowing anything more than before we went. although i am excited! Glad I get to have one before 12 weeks but also feeling very apprehensive. Such a strange time, feel so excited yet so scared!

Hi all. I just took a test this morning and I got a positive result! My first baby is on the way So excited, but it really doesn't feel real, so I'm going to take another test on Monday just to make sure! If all is true, it looks like I'll be due on July 22nd! I guess there is no chance that a positive home pregnance result isn't correct? It's so great to have a forum like this to chat, as I've been given strict instructions by my partner that I'm not to tell any family or friends yet! Would be interested in the private forum too.

Mrs S, yup when I went in at 5.5 weeks the lady said: definately a pregnancy, i think i can detect a faint heartbeat but can't be too certain. And then today! she detected a heartbeat so I am very happy :) DP and I saw Babys flickering heart and all looks good she said. Officially 6 weeks and 4 days along so 3 days earlier than thought (more waiting haha). So due July 8th. KennyJ - do you have a midwife yet? As for morning sickness that kicked in for me just before 6 weeks, feel like rubbish :( it is 'good' to have I guess to really 'know' that everything is doing its thing, but its so yuck to go through, I feel crap constantly, worse in evenings and first thing in the morning but my evening nausea is slowly moving earlier and earlier into the afternoon :s blaaa! Welcome cupcakekiwi! I don't think there is any chance that a positive preg. test is incorrect! you should do another one in the wknd :) curiosity would get the better of me! hehe. All the best x

Oh yes!! Im def feeling the pregnancy this time around! And keeping up with my 11m/o is hard already LOL, ill hate to think what it will be like in the 3rd trimester
OOh we have to wait for our 12 week scan to see our wee ticking bubby :D But i guess it will be cool to see a 'real' little person not just a lil baby blob

I found out I was pregnant about a week ago. Will be my first child after 2.5 yrs of trying and fertility treatment. I'm 5 weeks ATM and due 17th July. Haven't even thought about midwives just yet, still hoping its all real.... No symptoms to speak of but been having cramping and some slight bleeding, which fertility specialist assures me is normal, but can't help freaking out - anyone else with similar? Will feel a bit more relaxed once I get to see heartbeat on my 7 week scan. I would like to join private group please.

Hiya......we have been trying for our first baby for 2 years and finally decided to get some help a few months ago....and after a harrowing couple of months of daily blood tests, fertility drugs, injecting myself, and IUI insemintation....we are expecting our first baby (or babies!!) July 13th!
We are so excited!! I've had a few side effects pretty much since the word go, bloating, heartburn and extreme tiredness are really getting to me...but I'm so lucky the nausea hasn't started yet....especially with my HCG blood test readings being so extremely high (fingers crossed its twins!! My nurse has a sneaky suspicion)....can't wait for my first scan on the 27th of Nov... Good luck to you all...I hope your nausea goes quickly xxxx would love to join private group x

Hi HockeyChick and Miriamsusannah! welcome! We are all in the same boat! all trying for so long and now you are probably like I am and just can't BELIEVE it!!!!! I am 7 weeks on Monday and STILL can't believe it, even though I found out I was preg. at about 4.5 weeks. Feeling good today which is a change from yesterday. Nausea has hit me bad the past week, its awful! that is so so exciting Miriam that u may be having twins!! HoneyChick will be hoping and praying everything is ok for you! I am sure it will be :) I have read apparently some light bleeding/spotting effects about 40% of pregnant woman.

Thanks Anna97949! Yep I found out at four weeks too and I'm still absolutlely in shock that it actually finally happened....after all those negative preggy tests it was unreal to get a positive...I did like 6 tests just to see the second line...haha a bit mental yes....but v satisfying....I'm lucky I get weekly blood tests from my fertility specialists so I know things a coming along v nicely....well much higher than expected...yippee ....imagine if it's twins!! Glad you are feeling a little better today...long may that continue! Good luck x
