Thanks for the congrats everyone. Hopefully you won't be too far behind Rachel.
I will just warn you that I may be a bit paranoid for a while, I had a miscarriage at the beginning of march at 6 weeks 2 days so am very nervous about this pregnancy and may become a bit neurotic. DH doesn't really understand so you guys might have to put up with my insanity

Oh and about the pains, I have had periodish pain with all three of my pregnancies but its not quite as crampy as a period more the feeling you get before AF arrives. And yeah stretching pains are a biatch and worse with subsequent pregnancies and they, for first timers, feel like shooting pains but don't last very long and aren't overly painful, more a sharp shoot of pain and then its over.

LOL Marisa, you can't possibly be as neurotic as I was so don't worry! It's completely normal! I'm sure your wee bean will be fine, but that doesn't make the first few weeks any less angsty
Katte - hope you manage to avoid the hyperemesis this time, it sucks I'm onto pregnancy #3 with it and every time I think "I am NEVER doing this again!"

Thanks for the good wishes Maya. I am sooooo hoping the hyperemesis isn't as bad this time round. It has taken me about four years to even contemplate the idea of getting pregnant again, I have just been so scared. It's not just me I have to think about either. It was so stressful on my DH (who was brilliant but hated being so helpless), work were incredibly supportive and I had to take heaps of time off and having a four-year-old thrown in means I have had to think this over pretty seriously. Have a fantastic specialist tho who is putting a plan in place should I end up in the same condition. BUT am going to do my darndest to stay as healthy as poss and we'll just have to see how it all turns out.

Sounds like you have a good approach. I can remember with this baby when it was at it's worst around 7 weeks feeling like I wouldn't care if I lost the baby coz it would mean I'd get to feel normal again, and then feeling so guilty about it! I think it's harder second/third time around coz I know that 12 weeks *isn't* the magic fix-all date, with Maya I got thru by thinking that it would end next week, or next week, or next week. Now I've just had to accept that I am destined to throw up every day until bub arrives and so I try to look forward to that instead. I've stopped taking the antiemetics coz I don't really think they were doing much, and I still have ptyalism. Mind you, this is a piece of cake compared to how bad it was when I was preg with the gremlins!
Anyway, enough of a threadjack from me, best of luck!

Oh no Emma - I think you'll have to have a boy next time. I'm sure girls just love to make us feel nauseated all the time (even in the womb)

Nefertiti - 2 weeks since conception, but 4 weeks pregnant as the EDD is taken from the first day of the last AF. That's where some people get confused!!! So a person who is "2" weeks pregnant (from conception) is actually "4" weeks pregnant (first two weeks are free while you're waiting for ovulation). |
yes, i do know that. but it was said by katte " have taken my dates off start of last af". so i knew her saying 2 weeks was not right.
anyway, she seems to have it worked out.
sorry, it was just something i picked up on.

Hi Nefertiti - You were right in picking it up! It just feels weird saying 4 wks when in fact it is two since conception! I worked out my due date by plugging numbers into the computer so didn't do the actual manual counting. Sorry to cause any confusion. Off to dr to get confirmation today. Still expect af to come at any stage!

I hope all goes well at docs Katte. I'm sure you'll be fine :)
I know what you mean about it being weird that your 4 weeks, when you only BD'd 2 weeks earlier. Infact we were having a laugh the other day about this. Imagine when in the situation where you have a one night stand and you get pregnant...well, you meet the guy at the pub and you say 'well i only just met you 5 minutes ago, but infact im already 2 weeks pregnant with your baby!'...lol

Katte - I hope the appt goes well with the doctor today :-)
Had to get to go to the toilet very early in the morning, which is a first for me!!! I did go before I went to bed, and I have always managed to wait till I woke up to go to the loo... So I guess this little one wants to start training me for night feeds :-p But the good thing is that I am a very good sleeper, and was able to get back to sleep straight away.
I will calling around for a midwife today. Hopefully I can get one first go
I wish the ticker would update to 4 weeks and 5 days... but I suppose that is what you get when it comes from a US site.... maybe a kiwi could start up a ticker site

Congratulations! I was thinking it was early for January 09 babies to be showing up, but then I realised it was on this day two years ago that I found out I was pregnant with Lucy. She was due January 8.

Well decided to go to the doc, think i will get two hcg tests and then wait till the early scan (if they offer me one). Have spoke to the midwife that I had when I miscarried and she is happy to see me this time I will see her in a few weeks times after the tests etc.
Well ms seems to have arrived this morning which is a bummer and DH thinks me crying at greys anatomy last night was my hormones, its not i'm just a loser that crys at everything.
Good luck with the appointment Katte.
