Zanny's journal

I figured I'd start my own little journal.. it'll be nice keeping track of everything that happens!

Well, I got my BFP on 15th March & it came as a bit of a shock. I'd felt different, like the first time I got pregnant, but the positive digital test still knocked me for six!

Me & my fiance are very happy though.. I think he wants this one to be a little boy. I'd love a boy too, but we have so many pink things.. another girl seems much more practical! :lol: Oh well, as long as this little one's healthy.. that's all that matters.

I'm 8 weeks tomorrow & I have my first midwife appointment on monday, so I'll probably make another post after that =)

:headspin::headspin:congrats on you BFP:headspin::headspin:

Wow.. Well I'm 8 weeks 2 days today, & I just had my first midwife appointment. It was nothing like I expected it to be.. I thought she'd take bloods & my blood pressure & weigh me etc.. but she didn't do any of those things, apparently I have to wait until my next appointment for all that. She booked it for 1st May, so I'll be 10 & a half weeks by then.

I told her about the pains I'd been experiencing on & off, which were mainly on one side, & she rang the EPU about it.. they want me to go in tomorrow for a scan! I'm nervous, but kinda excited.. if everything's ok, I should be able to see my little bean & his/her heart beating away in there!

Wish me luck =)

im wishing you lots of luck :-)

Hope your scan went well today.

Hope it went well today.

Well the scan couldn't have gone better :happydance:

Little bean had a strong heartbeat & everything looked great.. he/she is the cutest little blob ever :cloud9:

I was so relieved to see that little heart beating away.. I can relax a bit now. I loved seeing him/her & I can't wait til my 12 week scan now! :happydance:

Glad it went well. Not long to wait to 12 weeks either! And you'll see much more than a blob then!!

Glad to hear everything is going well..esp with the scan.

hiya its great to hear that it went so well :-)

Aww glad it went well for you hunni

Glad to hear everything is going well with both you + bump! will carry on checking in to see how things are going. are you finding out what your having on your 20 week scan or are you leaving it to be a suprise? xx

I'm 10 weeks + 2 days today.

I have my "booking in" appointment with the midwife on thursday & I can't wait! I want to get my 12 week scan sorted. It might end up being at 13 or 14 weeks though. But I don't care.. that just means there'll be more of my little one to see!

I've been feeling better lately.. I haven't thrown up for about 3 weeks now. I'm still funny with food though.. I have to be in the mood for something to eat it & right now I have no idea what I want for lunch.

I keep trying to find my LO's heartbeat with my doppler, but still no luck. My daughter was awkward when she was in my tummy.. whenever the midwife tried to listen to her heartbeat she moved away from the doppler. So I think this LO must be awkward too!

I know a lot of you still don't know me very well, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to introduce you to my family!

Thanks! =)

I'm definitely finding out what I'm having (if baby co-operates!). I keep changing my mind about what I want.. but I think I want a little boy this time. I know I'll be thrilled either way though!

OMG zanny your OH looks just like my younger brother in that first pic of him!!

Little Jenny is such a cutie!!

I'm 10 weeks + 3 days today =)

I'm really starting to consider having this baby at home. I think I'm going to mention it to my midwife at my appointment on thursday just to get her opinion on it. I'd love a relaxing, calm environment to give birth in.. & I want my OH with me for the whole labour & afterwards.. I didn't like being alone last time.

I'm really looking forward to my midwife appointment.. I wanna get my scan sorted so I have a date to look forward to! :happydance:

It makes the whole waiting time a little more bearable if youve got scan and appointment dates to look foward to eh?

Your so brave thinking about a home birth ... all i cant think of is the mess lol

your all so cute great photos!

ill be opting for a home birth this time if i get that far, dont worry about the mess the midwifes take care of it all for you itll be a beautiful way to bring your baby into the world

10 weeks + 6 days today =)

I had my booking in appointment with the midwife yesterday. She's so nice, I'm really happy about that. She was a bit evil with the needle though.. ouch. It doesn't usually bother me, but it seemed to hurt more than normal :(

Anyway, the appointment was fine.. I didn't mention home birth to her because she didn't ask "where are you having the baby" & she had so much to get through that I thought I'd leave it til a later appointment when I have more time to talk to her.

We talked about how my daughter was IUGR & she said there was a very small chance it could happen again, so after 20 weeks I'm being referred to a doctor at the hospital & apparently I'll get more scans than normal :happydance: Let's just hope nothing goes wrong in this pregnancy.. I'm aiming for a nice average 7 pounder this time!

Oh & I just got a call from the doctors.. they had the results from my bloodwork already & apparently my iron is really low (which explains the super-super-tiredness I've been experiencing) so they've prescribed me some iron tablets which I'm going to pick up later today.

Other than the tiredness, I'm feeling good today.. my nausea only appears every once in a while now, so I'm hoping by 12 weeks it'll have buggered off completely! :rofl:

ow it sounds like everything is going really really well miss!! im going to a clinic at the hosp too after 20weeks they are really good!
