I haven't contacted the doctor or anyone yet. I have a lot of learning to do on the subject! When is the normal time to go to the doc, seeing as I'm only just 4 weeks then is that too early to see someone?
Does anyone know if it is normal to go to always go to the doc first, or should I contact a midwives group or something?
I figured I could wait a few weeks just to ensure I don't miscarry or anything and then contact the doc, but then I've heard that you have to get in quick to book midwives. 
So you've booked your scan already?! Is that the 12 week scan or can you get them done earlier than that?

I would say go and see your doc for blood tests to check your HCG levels are all good. and then looka at midwives thats the advice Ive been given.
My pregnancy will be a bit different to yours with scans etc i think as my baby is through IVF (hope you know what that means  ) So i am monitoured by the speccialists at my ferility clinic until im at week 8 then i think im let off into the big wide world.
I bought a book thru trademe the other day called "up the duff" its really informative and tells you stuff week by week for us first timers who know nothing ! ha ha but the good thing about this forum is as girls join in we all help each other with advice etc.
Any signs of MS for you yet?

I might go Mon to see my doc then, she's really good and hopefully will be able to recommend some good midwives/obsetricians to see.
I'm not sure of her who she'll recommend because I've had a multi-level lumbar spinal fusion and I don't know if that will affect things or not.
I'm not sure what MS means, but everything seems to be fine so far.. oh as I'm typing I've just clicked, do you mean Morning Sickness? No, I've just been really tired, but then I also started at polytech last week which is a big upheaval in itself, so it's hard to tell at the moment what the main cause of the tiredness is. Apparenlty my mother loved being pregnant and didn't have any issues, so I'm hoping I take after her and all goes well.
I watch Sperm Wars the other week and it had a couple doing IVF. Looks like quite a stressful thing to go through. So congrats on it all going well so far!

Hi April ladies
I'm due 28 March so right at the end of March so might jump between the two. Held off saying hi as I had some spotting at 5.2weeks which freaked me out. Had the scan today and all was good. Its still early days but pleased to know it is all fine. Had a MC in May.
As for MS, I am just starting to get this now....would call it all day sickness for me but everyone is different.

Coldfish, I would also suggest you go and see a doctor and get your bloods done. Once that has been done, I'd look for a MW or OB (which ever one you perfer to go with).
I had my first morning of MS today  (that's why I tested!!!  ). I was exactly the same when I was preggies with my DS, I got MS from 4 1/2 weeks.
Tarn, congrats on having been sucessful with IVF. I've got a very good friend who has just had her first baby through IVF. Not an easy road at all - so congrats again

I am also going to join you girls. I am due April 5th! Did a HPT on Monday morning and was gobsmacked to see a positive result after 18 months of TTC, but 2 cycles of clomiphene did the trick!
I am 32, live just west of Chch (work in town though) and it's our first. Had a nervous week waiting for the HCG results but they are all good and since we have been seen at the fertility centre we get an early ultrasound in just two weeks time! Looking forward to sharing all the ups and downs with you all here.

Thanks for including me on the April list....honoured but fine if you want to take it off and just have April ones listed. I am after all on the March one.
I seem to have gone of sweet food which is similar to other pregnancies and am feeling sick pretty much all the day. Food helps....for about 5mns!
Must sort my ticker out but worried it will jinx it!

Hi there have found out this week we are pregnant with # 2. Having taken 2 years 8 cycles of clomiphene to get preggy with #1 (finally got pregnant when IVF was booked in) it was bit of a shock to get pregnant straight away this time. Think we due early April.

Congratulations to everyone on our April list! Like a few of you we haven't got any baby stuff either and aren't telling anyone until at least after our scan in a couple of weeks time - jinxing it is our big concern too! We were thrilled that the clomiphene worked - TTC had become very stressful and for those of you who have been through the full IVF experience my 'admiration' goes to you!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend and are taking care of themselves. Next weekend my DH and I are going on the tranzalpine over to Greymouth, staying the night and getting a rental care for a day to have a quick 'tiki tour' to the pancake rocks etc. Am looking forward to that! hopefully MS will stay away until after then - so far so good but I am only 5 weeks today so early days yet.

Even though I'm getting slight morning sickness, I feel like I should retest just to make sure that I am pregnant! You'd think the second time around I'd be a bit more confident!
I'm sure I do my nesting at the beginning of the pregnancy (I certainly didn't have it just before I had my DS). I've been cleaning/throwing stuff away/getting babies room ready to redecorate. Its all go.....mind you, my house SO needs it!
So, who is going to find out the sex of their baby? We might, we tried for a girl, so fingers crossed!
