Pregnancy after Long Term TTC - September 2008

[briggsy's girl]

Welcome and congrats Mon! fantastic to see you over here! i so agree on the "knowing it all about TTC but lost about pg front" - i rang up today to get an appointment with the Dr we are thinking of going through - figured seeing i was told to have an appointment about 10 weeks to arrange NT scan, it was a good idea to book early. normally she only has about a week wait - but no, she's not avalable until Nov 17th!! so i've booked the appointment, but am unsure whether to go with her (the hosp she delivers through is 60k's away) or try to find someone more local (other hospy is 30ks) - but the dr we would have gone through there has left the area, and i'm clueless as to who to see! and seeing we dont' want to share with people IRL til after 12 weeks, it's bloody hard to find out who to go through!! grrrrrr

sorry for the lack of personals - feeling really tired today and can't seem to focus real well! names are getting jumbled in my head!

Possums - good luck tomorrow hunny.

Congratulations Mon!! It's always lovely to see a LTTTC'er joining in!!

I think Buddy is having a growth spurt. Have had lots of aches and stretching pains the last couple of days and have been having way too many nana naps. No idea how I am going to go at work next week after 2 weeks off. Sorry for no personals. So tired I can barely think straight tonight.

Funny that we have been discussing it....the checking everytime we go to the loo.

Well, It's happened to me. The dreaded blood spot at 6 this morning. It's not a lot, but it's definitely there. I called the birthing suite as instructed by my OB. They said to hang tight and see if there is anymore/stops/gets heavier.

I'm trying not to panic - in fact trying not to think about it until it's time to go check again.

Nixon - I think it's way too early to panic - on these boards I've read lots of stories about spotting during the 1st trimester.

Nixon - Hang in there sweet it may go away quite soon

I've had nothing more so far. Not sure that I will be able to sleep too good tonight. *sigh*.

How is everyone else anyway? TL - did those maternity clothes go alright? I'm dubious about buying off the internet. I am pear shaped naturally and find it difficult to buy skirts, trousers, dresses because of my big-butt. How do you know the clothes will fit/look good?
