Ha ha, at New Years I told my friends I had a feminine problem and couldn't drink... I think it helped that I was drinking cranberry juice  . The frequent toilet trips added to the confusion.-------------    Jan '13

Hi there, I got a BFP just before NY Eve - same as someone else on here, was a bit suspect I was UTD so figured I'd better test before I carried on the Xmas/New Year festivities and what do you know This is No. 2 for us and we are due September 12. Yay, so excited! We had 3 m/c before we conceived our daughter so I am crossing my fingers and toes this all goes to plan. Had hcg bloods taken yesterday, repeat on Monday so hopefully it all looks normal!

See, this is worrying me - I'm not having more frequent toilet trips at all! Im wondering if my pelvic floor is stronger then it used to be? I have a scan next week. Not to see the baby though (gutted). its for a giant lump in my boob. I get out of a mamogram cos im up the duff and get a scan instead. Yay - no squashed preggy boob! |

People's bodies react so differently to pregnancy, I wouldn't worry about not getting the toilet trips. I have some friends who had their first children about the same time as I did and we all got different symptoms, the only thing we all had in common was the increasing belly, and even then some of us got far bigger than others! Good luck with the boob scan, hope it's nothing. Squashed preggy boob sounds horribly uncomfortable. ------------- Jan '13

Got any symptomns yet ladies? or is everyone feeling as per usual? Im abit bloated looking. Im an early shower and i get really big. Look full term at 6 months. So i went out yesterday and brought some new bigger tshirts because all my 'skinny' clothes are just abit unflattering at the moment. |

Good Morning, no symptoms yet for me. I got quite sick last time which started at around 5/6 weeks. I really really hope I can avoid it this time. I have started taking the Blackmores Morning Sickness Formula pills (which are B6 and Ginger) and am hoping they will at least help to reduce the nausea and vomiting a little bit. I have also inquired about acupuncture but am waiting to hear back from them. Is anybody else loosing weight? I've been loosing a couple of hundred grams a day, the same happened last time and I ended up loosing about 8kg in 2 weeks due to severe nausea and vomiting. I just hope this is not a sign of things to come. ------------- Here we go again, another baby on it's way!

I showed fairly early last time, I'm picking my clothes carefully to hide my tummy. I feel a bit bloated, but my husband assures me it's my imagination I had morning sickness 8-20 weeks last time, and I'm a bit nervous about it coming again. I've put on a little bit of weight over Christmas, but I dropped so much last time with morning sickness that I'm calling it my buffer zone! ------------- Jan '13

Not too many symptoms for me yet. Bloated and the odd wave of nausea. Bit cranky! With DD the sickness didn't kick in til around 5-6 weeks and then it hit me like a tonne of bricks. Felt hideous until 17 weeks. Guess I'll take it on the chin if it means I'm having a healthy baby that sticks |

| I had preeclamisia and HELLP - something to do with your liver and blood platelets basically its life threatning for both mum and baby and only cure is to deliver the baby. My son was 800g when he was born - now he's about 8kg so 10x his birth weight :) |

Hope you have an easier time this time around Chatzs. I've seen my GP this morning for something unrelated but have been given forms for bloods and dating scan at 6 weeks. She also gave the pamphlet about food safety in pregnancy. I swear I have forgotten half the things that are on there and I am questioning what we are supposed to eat for the next 8 months!  ------------- Here we go again, another baby on it's way!

Chatzs, you've used the HTML code. You need to click on the link that says "BB and UBB code" and copy and paste that text. Also far out, what a tiny baby! Are you likely to get HELLP again or is this one probably going to go more smoothly? How old is your eldest? Just asking because my 11 month old is 10kg... ------------- Jan '13

Due 6th of Sept from my own calculations, have a scan in 2wks though because of previous probs. very excited though and nervous. Just found out the results from Fridays blood test and my levels are 15000!! Seems crazy high?!? Congrats to everyone else having bubbas in sept :) |

| Had a call from the nurse before, my hcg went from 470 at 14dpo to 2750 at 18dpo. They now want me to get an early scan, doctor wanted me to go on Wed - I wouldn't even be 5 weeks?! I told the nurse that and she said my doctor wanted me to go then because of my high hcg levels. So now I feel a bit uncertain - don't molar pregnancies have high hcg levels? Sigh... Of well, will see what Wed blood test says. Hope everyone else is doing great! |

Yeah was thinking twins too. Hopefully we are right! I too thought they would always want to wait till 6 weeks for an early scan as there won't be a heartbeat any sooner than that. ------------- Here we go again, another baby on it's way!

Well I used to get them every week until 11wks when I was pregnant with my son (because of a previous missed miscarriage) and the nurse would call me each week and let me know what they were. This time I just called the nurse myself and asked though. You could do that if you wanted to

Chatz, you could call your MW or GP (depending who ordered the bloods) and ask them for results. I had my bloods done today but don't think I will ask for HCG levels. I did that last time and found this way too stressful. They where on the low side and I needed follow up tests so they could compare. ------------- Here we go again, another baby on it's way!

Had a tiny tiny amount of brown spotting this morning. Argh, I hate this part so much. Its gone away now so hopefully its just implantation. Getting more bloods today and a scan tomorrow. Although they wont be able to see anything! I think my doctor just wants to see how many are in there! I don't have the twin feeling, know its just one! Hope everyone else is doing good

good luck with the blood tests and scans - imagine if there are twins in there! I heard that brown spotting is usually OK its whe its bright red you can then start to worry - I'm paranoid about bleeding even though my first preg I never did ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Good luck for the scan tomorrow. Bleeding in pregnancy sucks, big hugs to you and FX it is nothing! I bleed lots last time and have had nothing so far this time around which in turn makes me worry just as much  How is everybody else going? No symptoms other than no period for me but after reading back that was the same for me last time at this stage.

| Hi everyone! I'm new to this pregnancy game as its my first child but I'm already a little confused! I've had one home test and one urine test with the nurse at the doctor which where both positive, just yesterday I've ha my bloods taken hormones and antenatal and the hormone level had come back as being 1-2 weeks?! Is this possible because I've missed this last period was due beginning of the month and had a slight bleed for only two days last month when last months was due so I thought that if they where to take it from the last period id be at least 5-6weeks. We have a scan booked in for next week to get the dates all lined up so here's hoping I'm further than 1-2 weeks! I do have sore boobs (bearable) and a bloated looking tummy by the evening any thoughts ? Would be greatly appreciated! Sorry go the ramble! |

Hi. First time in a "due" forum or anything of the sort. Tested positive yesterday. going by my last period, I would be five weeks today. Still in shock. I haven't been to the GP yet, trying to get in tomorrow. When would I need to try and find a midwife? I get the impression that it can be hard to find a good one so best to do it early? My old midwife has retired. All this doesn't feel real at all. |

I called my midwife from last time straight away, I was really worried I wouldn't be able to use her again because we've shifted towns, was so excited when she said she would still have me :) think the good ones do get booked pretty quick though, but there are lots of good ones out there :) Oh Jaimee that does sound a bit disappointing, hopefully the scan will say you are further along! I've had quite a bit of nausea the last 2 days, so yucky! Especially while potty training! And sore boobs, even if I have the shower pressure on too much! Feel fat already too but I have been a bit of a piggy lately

Jaimee 1-2 weeks from your last period you probably haven't ovulated, so they must be counting from somewhere else. The scan should clear it up. Babies don't show up in the scan before 5 weeks (sometimes later), so if it doesn't show anything you might have ovulated late. D when I found out I was pregnant with #1 I got a list from the Birthing Centre straight away and called one whose name I recognised, about 6 weeks along. I got the impression from her that I was enthusiastic! I have friends who waited until 12 weeks and didn't have much trouble finding someone. I know what you mean about it not feeling real, I was stunned for the first week! ------------- Jan '13

Jaimee, I'm with the others on this one - hopefully the scan will be able to tell you how many weeks you are. 1-2 def doesn't sound right unless they count from conception which I don't think is very common though. In regards to MW's I think it depends where in the country you are. I think Christchurch for example is very bad as there is a shortage. I think Auckland should be ok. ------------- Here we go again, another baby on it's way!

I reckon they mean 1-2 weeks pg as in from when you period is due. Which would make you 5-6 weeks. I guess you will soon find out though! I didn't get my blood results today so hopefully the nurse will ring me in the morning. Was getting a scan next Tues but realised I'd double booked myself so its now tomorrow at 1pm

| I doubt it Sem, way too early! Probably a sack? And hopefully just one! I think my doctor is just being over protective, I don't think my hcg levels are that high - well within the normal range. But she did say I'd get another early scan a bit further down the track so that will be good. |

Hi All, Just took a HPT tonight and got a BFP - not sure of LMP but fairly sure of conception day (first day TTC for number 2!) i'm fairly sure anything a week after that would not show as obviously? I put myself at around 4 weeks 4 days... Due September 14th.... Eeeeeek... I'm quite shell shocked as I didn't expect things to happen so quickly so now can't sleep! -------------

Hcg only went from 2750 to 4900 which isn't quite doubling. Trying to keep positive but its hard when you already had 3 m/c and kind of know what to expect. Although if I put the amounts into hcg calculators online they come back as being normal. Oh well, scan today so will see what they can tell me. Wish me luck

I'm not having anymore Sem, they completely do my head in. I'll have a scan today and then another one around 7-8 weeks (if I last that long!) and see what the outcome is.

Yay good luck for scan today!!! Jme88 I'm from Hamilton, well nearby anyway and I totally recommend Julie Jessen, she's my midwife and was with my son too. She's AMAZING! But my friend is using Lee Hugh's and apparently she's pretty cool too. Lots of good ones in Hamilton though, good luck So what do you really see at a scan around 6-7weeks? I've never had one before and stupidly thought it would be similar to the 12wk one glad I've been on here or I would've been a lil disappointed at mine next week.....

With my son I had a scan at 6 weeks (+3 I think) and I saw a sac, the fetal pole (line that develops into a spine) and his heartbeat. We saw the heartbeat first from a distance and it looked like he was flashing on and off like Christmas tree lights. We made jokes about our baby Christmas tree until we had the 12 week scan! With my son I spotted at 5 weeks, with my miscarriage no spotting until it was all over. Spotting doesn't always mean something's wrong. FX for you BG! ------------- Jan '13

Hi girls, just home from my scan. TWO sacks Good grief. To think I've joked about twins for so long! Hahah... Scan lady couldn't see any yolk sacks though and she did say that she would've liked to have seen them at 5 weeks. They are in separate sacks though so that is one good thing. I'm not feeling very positive at all....which isn't good, I wish I could feel more optimistic. I'm not sure if I should have more bloods done or just wait it out for a couple of weeks and see if anything changes on the scan. Time will tell I guess! |

Wow babygiraffe! What news! Hope all goes well for you. This heat is screwing with me, it's so hot and my head hurts, my boobs hurt, I hate the taste in my mouth, I'm so grumpy. Whinge, whine. It feels like I woke up one morning and somebody stole my breasts and left somebody else's boobs plonked onto my chest. Not even my bra feels right. But on the flip side, at least I'm not heavily pregnant at this time of the year. Thank god. Hope everybody is going well. Re the midwife thing, I have contacted one midwife as a starting point, as she came highly recommended (online anyway), so will go on from there, GP appointment is next week (earliest I could get in!!). :) |

Hi Everyone, I have been lurking for a few days now. I got my BFP last thursday which puts me due on the 7th. This will be #2 for us. So far things are going ok. Don't get to see a MW til the 29th as she likes to wait til 8weeks for first visit. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Ooooh BG, two sacs! Wow! I'm not having a dating scan until Monday 21st, close to 7 weeks. My MW gets them done a little later because she's had too many women freak out when they haven't seen baby's heartbeat on early scans. I understand the logic but the suspense is hard! The heat + pregnancy is so enervating, I had a huge afternoon nap with my son this afternoon. Congrats to all the new ladies joining our board! ------------- Jan '13

OH BG what bitter sweet news. I think I would probably choose to have more blood tests. If they are no good at least you can start to prepare yourself for the worst? Welcome to all newbies! I am still feeling fine, just had a read back I started getting tired at about 5+2 last time so that will be in two days. Wait and see I guess. ------------- Here we go again, another baby on it's way!

Omg BG two - congrats! Feeling okay today, forgot I was pregnant and ate something I shouldn't have. Oh will have to deal. Also not sure who to go with for MW as previous MW not working anymore. Felt quite nauseous last night which I never had before. According to my dates will be 5 weeks tomorrow... think I will go to the GP next week and ask for a dating scan. -------------

We need a due date list. Anyone on a proper computer who could find a cute title? Also anyone keen on a secret Facebook group as well as this forum? Still not feeling pregnant here but the test says I am so I must be. Still such early days! |

Not looking good for me I'm afraid, hcg not risen nearly enough so it looks like I'm out. Bummer  Dreading having to go through a m/c, especially with a little girl. And I'm supposed to be going to a wedding around the time I guess it will happen (from past experience). Swear words, swear words and more swear words....
