I'm looking forward to it, but I'm nervous too Dejaca. Last time I was excited up til my 6 week scan, then it was all downhill from there. I'm hoping it's the other way around this time :)

Hi all,
Sorry if this is a silly question, as I realise that everyone's circumstances are different, but I seem to have my first appointments booked way later than everyone else here (my first blood tests and scan are both booked for 12 weeks). Am I missing something? I've taken a couple of baby books out of the library and they seem to list a million tests that should or could be done at the first GP appointment.
Any thoughts? Feel free to tell me to just be grateful that the doctor doesn't think I need anything sooner!
Thanks :)

Yay for the scan going well Jessydukes! Aug13 - the 6 week scan is a dating scan. Not really necessary if you know your due date though. Although if you can get your GP or midwife to refer you, it's quite cool to see a little heartbeat  I know my rough date, however think I ovulated very late in my cycle which could put my due date out by about a week so just double checking. Plus my midwife from last time is going to the UK mid August, so my due date will depend on whether she takes me on or I have to find another one. Anyone elses tummy feeling weird? Today mine felt funny, like really full. And it felt like I was gasping to get a decent breath. I remember feeling like that when I had a big bump last time but certainly not this early!

Aug13 - What Dejaca said is correct. The 6 week scans aren't mandatory, and aren't done as a rule - they tend to do them when they want to check the dates (or in my case, they called it a "validity scan" because of my recent miscarriage). If you want one then I don't think there's anything wrong with asking for one.
Dejaca - I've been a little low on breath from time to time too. And my tummy feels really odd - very heavy, particularly low down behind my hipbones. And I've been having lots of gassy-like pains. Not cramping as such, it really does just feel uncomfortable.

Thanks for the comments girls.
I've also been noticing that I'm getting a bit breathless at times, nothing major, but it's there.

Welcome Kellsz :) Na, I don't think it's a bad sign. Though there are common symptoms, every woman gets them at different times and severities, and some never get them at all. Though those symptoms sure are reassuring :) Just focus on the ones you've got.

Welcome Kellsz and congrats! Nah it's normal to not have vomiting. Nausea doesn't always equal vomiting. The morning sickness I'm told, can kick in later, at 8 wks. Though I have vomited 4 times in the last 2 days. Yeah the waking early business sux! My issue is, if I get woken by anything, I take nearly an hour to get back to sleep.

Thanks guys, what vitamins are you taking?
I'm just taking APO Folic acid.. I'm wondering if its enough? I looked at Blackmores which has heaps of vitamins but a lot less folic acid than the APO?
Also do I need to make a appointment with a GP? what do they do?

Hi Kellsz, Welcome!! In answer to some of your questions.... I've had no vomitting and almost no nausea since before my period was due. I do get a sore windy tummy and have to do lots of very loud un-ladylike burps, much to my husband's amusement ;) I've also been waking every night for the last few weeks and taking ages to get back to sleep, but it seems to have improved the last two nights. I went to the GP a few days after my missed period/BFP, he booked me in for a tweleve week scan with blood tests, all to be done on 23 January. Because there was no real question over dates, he didn't feel the need for an earlier scan. I'm not sure what other people have tested in early blood tests but my first ones are at 12 weeks. I did have my rubella and toxoplasmosis immunity status checked at a previous visit when I mentioned we were 'trying'. I've been taking elevit since coming off the pill, and will continue taking it until 12 weeks, when the doctor said he'd prescribe iodine for the remainder of the pregnancy and through breast feeding. Hope this helps.

Yeah would be good to make an appointment with your GP. As often midwives don't see you til closer to 12 wks or after. Though some see people earlier.
GP will get you to get bloods taken. Which I think tests iron levels and all sorts of other things. Might get you to do another pregnancy test to confirm. Though not all do. Will give you an idea of when they think you are due. Will give you a Bounty Pregnancy pack too most likely and give you a script for Folic Acid and Iodine.
I'm just taking Folic Acid and Iodine, vitamins wise.

Guess I best ring for an appointment this week. Though I was feeling more pregnant last week before I actually knew...Hopefully I am just being super paranoid
Was a stunning today here in WGTN today, where is everyone from?

Hi Ladies!
Congratulations on your pregnancies! I got a very strong positive on my test last night! Seems my due date should be Aug 17! So excited! We have one sweet 21 month old girl already, so excited for her to become a big sister! We aren't going to tell anyone for a few weeks, but had to share somewhere!
Hope you are all feeling good! Such an exciting journey we are on!
