May 2013 Babies

Hi everyone :) Those who are spotting- Try not to panic! My best friend who is currently pregnant had spotting quite badly for weeks and weeks. She's currently doing great :) Kalika, Find a midwife first really, they book up insanely fast, especially if your in a main city :)
Jane period type is pretty normal. usually you shouldn't worry unless the pain is really bad or is coupled with bleeding :)
As for us, just found out a friend is 12 weeks pregnant. Feeling a bit envious that she has a healthy pregnancy and we're still waiting to find out if ours is even viable :(
Welcome to all the newbies! If anyone wants me to update the list just shout out and I shall :)

Thanks mum2ollie I live in a small rural town 45 mins from Chch so not sure if that will make things harder or easier!

FX for everyone with confirmations etc coming up!

Hi all, wow I feel better after reading all the posts on here about feeling nervous....I am 6 weeks and 4 days down with my first and really feel in the dark about alo of things. My GP was'nt very helpful was I supposed to get any information from her regarding what I can and cant eat? timeline for scan's, blood tests??? I have had one scan confirming I was 5 1/2 weeks, with yolk sack etc that is in the right place, and one set of blood tests which I am assuming everything is fine with as I have not heard back from GP??????

Hi all :)
Just found out my best friend had a brilliant 12week scan. So happy for her! Can't think of anyone that deserves a baby more than her and her DH.
Janey It's best to just get a midwife. GPs can be pretty bloody useless.
AFM, Still feeling very pessimistic about how things are. Just feel pretty hopeless :'(

such exciting stuff happening :)

I'm still feeling pretty good, having today off (good thing about working from home) a bit tired, I had hideous morning sickness with my little miss but nothing as yet. So hopefully I won't get it this time...wishful thinking I know.

Usually MW does bloods first and then if you need a dating scan will organise that for you JaneyG otherwise if you are sure of your dates then they usually wait til the 12 weeks nuchal scan :)

I am going to start the search for a MW this week but I am petrified I had a really bad experience with my last MW and before then I was just going through my GP but I can't go through her now :( Not so sure about MW's at the moment.

I'm not exhausted but feel really anxious in my stomach, not so much like feeling sick but Canterbury ppl will know what I mean, its like earthquake dread. A friend of mine texted me this morning she went on a rafting trip on Wednesday and turns out they had a major accident, boat/raft overturned and stuck, lost half their stuff. 3 girls had to be air lifted out by helicopter and she's been treated for hypothermia. She's asked me to stay 2nite which i will but she's really intense at the best of times so its going to be an interesting night.

Hey ladies. Had a doctors app today to go over my scan. She said everything looks perfectly fine for less than six weeks (yay) BUT I have low throid (mine is 8.5 should be a minimum of 9) which can cause miscarriages plus I have low iron and the beginnngs of thrush apparently. So that was great. Has anyone else had the low thyroid thing before???
