Pregnancy after Long Term TTC - June 2008

[butterfly_warrior]

Nixon, I booked in to see my OB as soon as I could. I was really nervous as I couldn't face cancelling the appointments after my first miscarriage and had to get DH to do it. But I had a scan at just past 6 weeks with my FS, and then a little over two weeks later I was in seeing my OB having another scan. I'm much happier seeing them early!

Thanks BW. I will be having a 7 week scan around the week of Sept 22 - 26.

I have booked an Ob, but i was also worried that I don't know him and the receptionist said he wouldn't normally see me until week 10 and I was worried that by then it would be too late to change.

Nic my Ob saw me at 8 weeks and I will see him again at 10 make sure you feel comfortable sweet

Well done and

I've read some really good things about him and have posted a new thread to see if I can find out more. My GP referred us to Dr. Lok at SIVF and I couldn't have been more grateful for that, so there is a history of good choices from my GP and that makes it a bit easier.

I'm also going for a tour of north shore private next week, so I'm hoping that will ease some nerves as well.

Hope you are going well TL - we won't be too far apart with our deliveries... I'm only 4 weeks and 2 days. Early days yet, but I'm keeping a positive outlook and I am going to enjoy every second of this pregnancy no matter what.

Good luck with everything.

Congratulations Nixon!! I booked in early as well. I've done the hospital tour, booked in with my GP/OB and I see him in 2 weeks. I was really nervous about doing it all so early as well, but at the same time, I didn't want to miss out on the model of care at this particular hospital that I wanted.

I haven't been too well overnight. Woke up at about 1am with awful tummy pains like I needed to vomit. Finally got back to sleep at about 5, so I'm having a day off today to try and get some rest. I'm exhausted. I'm about to make an appt with my GP as well to see if he will send me for another scan, and see if he makes anything of the pains I've been getting. Oh, and I little bit of spotting last night which completely freaked me out but there has been nothing since.

Good luck Megan. i hope everything is ok.

Welcome Nixon.
I booked in as soon as MIVF gave me the positive. They told me too and lucky I did or I would never have got into the obstetrician I wanted. not sure if Syd is the same.
I had my 6 week scan with the fertility doctor and she said it looked a bit small so had a repeat with the Freemasons ultrasound that said everything perfect at 7 weeks and my first ob appointment was today at 8.5 weeks. They booked in St vincents private for me and did everything.
My next with her is in 6 weeks but I have my 12 week scan back at Freemasons in about 3 and half weeks.
My FS said after 7 weeks scan they don't like patients to book obs before the all clear at 7 weeks but balh to that. If I had done that I would have missed out.
Anyway ob appointment was good. All measuring perfectly great heartbeat (third time I have seen it so reassuring every time). Just have to make it to the illusive 12 week mark.
Good luck.
