Due in May 2007!

Hi Georgie, I'm due in April, but there is a May Mummy in or thread so I'm sure she will be joining you soon.

Hi Bayley! Congratulations on your BFP! It's so exciting yet so unbelievable at the same time! I went to my Dr on Monday and got my blood test results back today - all good and I'm definately PG! He gave me the numbers of some midwives to contact and suggested getting one asap as they book up really fast - especially the good ones! I left a message with one on Tuesday night (she was in the delievery suite!), and am still waiting to here back from her. I'm really hoping to get it sorted by the end of the week!

This is a first baby for me and DH too! Congratulations again!

Hi Cat. Glad to see you've joined us! Congratulations! Yes, it's a whole new world really! At the moment I'm trying to keep track with what I can and can't eat now! Everyday I seem to read somewhere about something else you're not meant to eat! Also, things you're not meant to apply, eg: Arnica! (I did my neck/back a couple of days ago, and now feel really guilty about getting DH to rub arnica anti-flam cream on it for me!)

Oh well, at least we're all learning together!

By the way, I'm in Christchurch. I've been living here for two years now.

Sticky!

I wish I could say it gets better, but I'm still a grumpy toad...

Hi again

Thanks Maya!

Hi Mum3three!

Welcome Giselja. Congratulations! Another May baby! I agree that I am feeling a bit 'left in the dark' at this stage too! Even the midwife I left a message with on Tuesday hasn't gotten back to me yet! I feel that the best place at the moment to go to for answers to all my questions are sites like these! It's kind of strange too, because here we are all excited at just finding out about our PG and wanting to know all these things (blood levels, when do I get a scan, should I do this or that etc), and yet Drs don't want to see us anymore and we are too early for midwives too!

Cat, hope your day is going better! I have a meeting all afternoon today, so I'm not looking forward to that! I am feeling really tired today after not feeling too bad for the rest of the week. Thank goodness it's Friday!

Congratulations everyone and welcome newbies! So cool to see a heap of new people

Hi everyone. Just thought I'd pop in to see what everyone has been up to! Well, after a lot of phone calls, I have finally found a midwife, which I am really pleased about! I just can't believe how quickly they book up! Everyone I called seemed to be booked up until 1 June 2007! In between tears (hormones!) thinking I'd never find one, I was really starting to believe that people must book them before they're PG - just in case!

So what PG signs do you have? So far, I have been getting mild AF-like cramps - mainly at nights, and I have also been really, really thirsty! My breasts have also continued to be a bit tender. No m/s yet! Does anyone else ever stop and wonder if they are still PG because things don't feel any different really than before PG?? I just can't wait until the end of the first trimestre, so hopefully I can stop worrying a bit!

Well, I have my first midwife appointment tomorrow afternoon, so hopefully I'll be inundated with lots of information! I am meant to be playing in a touch tournament this Saturday. I really want to pull out, but they will be short if I do, so kind of feel obliged. Although, I'm sure I'll be worried the whole time!

Anyway, I hope that everyone has had great weekends! Looking forward to catching up with you all.

I've heard that ginger is great for m/s. Also have heard that dry crackers first thing in the morning can help! I'm still waiting for it to hit every day! My manager always heats his lunch and eats it in the office, and I have to admit the smell of that today when I was feeling hungry, wasn't the best! My sense of smell is really heightened too. I put a new deodorant on today and it's all I've been able to smell all morning (well, until my manager's lunch)! It's so bad I think I'll have to stop in at the supermarket and buy another one tonight!

Oh blimey, this m/s is not good! I can't concentrate at work, keep having to disappear and throw up, can't stand the smell or taste of ginger anymore, have tried vitamin B6 crackers in the morning (they work for a couple of mins), my midwife suggested wearing those travel bands but how the hell am I going to explain that to everyone who are bound to ask? Funnily enough the only time I don't feel sick is when I'm eating and for about 2 mins after then the nausea comes back, but I can't eat 24/7! Anyone got any other "remedies" I'll try anything.....
